Mariscos Jalisco is the go-to seafood truck in LA, famous for its crispy shrimp tacos that come hot and fresh, paired perfectly with avocado and spicy sauce.
"The deep-fried tacos de cameron from Mariscos Jalisco are an iconic Los Angeles dish. Still, don’t sleep on the rest of the menu from this legendary seafood truck, which has a few locations around town. The cocteles are outstanding, as are the mixed seafood tostadas, which are served atop a crispy tortilla with packets of Tapatío on the side." - Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff
"The critic would put tens of thousands of miles annually on his iconic truck to hunt down what are now largely considered some of the city’s best tacos: “The truck is parked in its usual spot, and we acquire paper platesful of the tacos, fried crisp around the edges but pliable toward their bellies, drenched with a fresh chop of tomatoes and onions, with ripe avocado on the side. The taco tastes of salt and corn and clean oil, and then, as you crunch through it, of fresh shrimp. I ask Ortega where he buys his seafood, and as always he changes the subject. I conjecture whether the slight creaminess around the shrimp comes from potatoes, bechamel or cheese, and as always, he smiles and shrugs. They are his secrets. He hopes they will make his daughters rich.” [LAT]" - Crystal Coser
