A corn tortilla seizes to crispness in the deep fryer so that it cradles spiced shrimp.The tacos come two to an order, splashed with salsa roja and covered with avocado slices . Read more

Maker of possibly Los Angeles’ most revered taco , the Mariscos Jalisco truck is an East L.A. icon. Their shrimp tacos dorados are unlike almost anything else in the taco sphere. Read more

Authentic Mexican dishes . Amazing taste and delicious food. Food Truck is clean and staff are very polite and helpful. There is also a nice sitting area just beside the food truck . Cash Only !!!

The fried shrimp tac isn’t simply contained by a tortilla . Oh no. The entire taco is deep fried, and then drenched in pico de gallo . Crispy , spicy , and popping with creamy shrimp on the inside.

Emily Wilson

Be careful not to mistake Mariscos Jaliscos for its neighbor, Mariscos 4 Vientos Taco Truck . The shrimp tacos here are far superior.

Joel Colin

The shrimp tacos here are pretty awesome and "The Poseidon " was alright, too much chili . They also give you this delicious ceviche to go with your tacos that's pretty unforgettable.

Adrian Phillips

The shrimp tacos here are not what I expected (in a very good way). They come in a fried shell with all sorts of shrimpy goodness on the inside. Will be heading back this weekend to try more.

Taco Dorado ($2): deep-fried corn tortilla filled with shrimp , vegetables and tomato , a topping of creamy, fresh-shucked avocado and a mild slurry of tomato and raw white onion .

Serious Eats

While the shrimp tacos get (and deserve) a lot of love, the humble ceviches , tart with lime , are worth checking out as well .

Daniel L.

Mmmmmm ... Taco Dorado!!! Shrimp , vegetables and tomato , a topping of creamy, fresh-shucked avocado and a mild salsa slurry of tomato and raw white onion . I could eat them all day.

Galo Canote

The shrimp tacos are the best! Hands down...get the preparadas for a refreshing kick to your *drink* - the oyster peinados are always a treat -- fresh and properly briney

David Heiser

Amazing shrimp tacos ! Best I’ve had.

Daniel Kang

The fried shrimp tacos are smothered with good stuff and taste divine. Only $1.75 each so order at least 5 a person. Get a refreshing tostada to mix it up. People are super friendly .

Bernal Viajes

Alright here is the "skinny" on the place. Come with low expectations and you will be amazed... Expect a crazy ugly delicious 5 star experience and you will be dissaponted
