    Aguachile Culichi  y Torre de Mariscos
    Lala G.

    I love the food here and the service is quick! It's nice that they offer parking and an area to sit down and eat.

    Great aguachile and ceviche portions that are flavorful and fresh! Quick service and clean space. I've been supporting for years and have never been disappointed.

    Guy at the register wasn't friendly but the guy giving out the food orders was! I got the torta Hawaiiana and agua de jamaica. The torta is delicious! Has a kick to it too. Would for sure order again. The jamaica was not too sweet, perfect.

    Vegan tacos

    Auguachiles has the best two dollar vegan tacos in the Bay Area......... I order from them all the time. My wife always order the quesadilla's and they are fire also. If you're looking for a great bargain taco, try aguachiles vegan tacos. I give them a five star rating.

    Consome (broth)

    Note this review is me eating for free via company card. But I still take value into account. I was feeling some birria tacos tonight after a week of salads. I checked out the first few that popped up in door dash and settled for this. Good god I wish I hadn't. Look at the size of the tacos and burrito. TACO BELL gives bigger portions than this. They also have the audacity to charge for the consome when every Mexican Resteraunt gives you a small cup for free. I will admit it's a big bowl of consome but I don't need that all. This place is a pass. And don't forget... I ate here for FREE. I pity those who spend their dolloroos on this place.

    Steak Taco

    I've ordered from this taco truck several times now and it's already a favorite. The Baja fish and shrimp tacos are crispy, flavorful, and packed just right. I've also tried the steak tacos, and it's great as well. The portions are generous, so folding them up to take a bite is a good kind of challenge. The truck has some tables to sit if you want to hang around, but I usually grab my order to go. They move quick and take orders fast. This spot is known for their seafood, so there a lot of menu options around seafood and other proteins. I'll be back again.

    Let's just start with how nice it was to beat the crowd and not having a wait. I will say after 1pm it definitely picked up and got busy fairly quickly. Now for the most important part... the food was absolutely delicious! Fish tacos, the cocktail, tostadas and birria ramen. All 5 stars! Birria ramen was flavorful, had a pretty good amount of meat and non greasy. I honestly liked how my tostada came in a separate container instead of being served all together (I hate when it gets too soggy that I can't eat my ceviche with the tortilla) Fish tacos? Amazing. Cocktail? Flavorful and full of seafood. Overall I have not one complaint. Ambiance? It's a taco truck with outdoor seating. Grab a table and clean up after yourself. Simple

    Always good to! Always fast! Even when there's a line you won't be waiting too long for your food they work pretty quickly !

    I'm so glad I got to experience this place ! I went with my friend a few weeks ago and I'm still thinking about the ceviche and shrimp tacos. My family is from the coastal state of Nayarit, Mexico so it was nice to try food that felt fresh and authentic. They serve your food quickly and have tables, a Kanopy for shade and play music that the workers and customers enjoy. Great vibes and great food.

    This is how their fish ceviche looks like Yes no fish at all!

    Today I had the most mysterious dining experience in the Bay Area I ordered a shrimp ceviche tostada and a fish ceviche tostada and received what can only be described as "Fish/Shrimp Ghost Ceviche." After spending nearly $30 on food, a drink, and tip, I got home excited to enjoy my craving. I opened the container and found vegetables, tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers. What I didn't find was the shrimp or the fish. I literally recorded a video digging through the entire container with a fork like I was on an archaeological expedition searching for evidence that seafood had once existed there. Spoiler alert: not a single shrimp or piece of fish was found. When I realized there was neither shrimp nor fish, and then discovered how disappointing the seasoning was, I honestly didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If you're looking for a completely vegan ceviche experience, this might be your place, because my order contained absolutely nothing suggesting that a shrimp or fish had ever participated in the recipe. The strangest part is that when I ordered, I was asked whether I wanted the ceviche raw (cured in lime juice) or cooked. I chose the traditional lime-cured version. However, when I tasted the Fish/Shrimp Ghost Ceviche, it didn't taste like lime at all. It also had no salt. I actually had to add both lime juice and salt at home just to give it the basic flavor you'd expect from a ceviche. I completely understand if a restaurant is running low on ingredients or nearing the end of the day. What I don't understand is selling shrimp and fish ceviche when what arrives is essentially a marinated vegetable salad. Eating out in the Bay Area has become increasingly expensive. For many people, it's an occasional treat, not an everyday expense. That's why it's especially disappointing to spend the equivalent of about an hour's work on a meal that doesn't match what was advertised. If they were out of seafood, I would have appreciated a simple, honest explanation. "Sorry, we're out of ceviche today" would have been far better than serving Fish/Shrimp Ghost Ceviche. Maybe this was an exception. Maybe this was an exception. Maybe it wasn't. Either way, it was unacceptable. What I do know is that after this experience, I won't be coming back to find out. Would I recommend this place? Absolutely. To my enemies. Not to my friends.

    The Verde ceviche was phenomenal! It was incredibly fresh, packed with flavor, and had just the right amount of tang and spice. Honestly, I'd come back just for that ceviche--it was that good! The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed, making it a nice spot for a casual meal. Overall, I'd recommend giving it a try, especially if you're a fan of ceviche. The birria tacos were good--but not particularly memorable. I was hoping for a bit more flavor.

    You ever been to this food truck? Thinking about going? You should. It's the cleanest address on the whole of International Boulder. Top 2 per cent, at least. Which can't be hard; since fallen out homeless, human feces and bottom barrel prostitutes are hallmarks of Int'l. El Tamarindo specializes in Sinaloan seafood. Gulf of California. They also advertise the *All New Quesabirria*. Don't blame them, we're all chasing trends after all. I wanted more, but had to eat light. I got me a ceviche verde with shrimp. Cooked shrimp. Spicy salsa verde, fresh and tart from tomatillo and lime. An able hand contributed brunoised cucumber and red onion. Three slivers of avocado laid atop. With all the acid, more avocado would have been optimal. I also got me a marlin taco. A joke. They buried the marlin. First of all, only bits of the fish are noticeable in a kind of sort of Mexican ragu. A red salsa tatemada. No flavor of marlin. Only it's meaty texture could be discerned. Second of all, you've got yourself a first gen iPhone sized slab of melted Monterrey Jack further burying. There is a side of chili pepper mayo and escabeche. Dip the escabeche into the mayo, not th taco. Overall, pretty chill. Will have to come back soon.

    It is a good mariscos spot only if you are personally there and eat there. I ordered through Grubhub and the food was poorly done and not as good as when I go in person. I assume it has to be the delay in time. The torre de mariscos is good. Do not try the tacos they are bad.

The menu does change up seasonally. I've had countless mouth watering chile rellenos with their ever changing sauce and filling.

The hearty masa in the tamales had a the texture of hand ground corn and was substantial enough to warrant chewing though. The beet -- tender and flavorful in itself -- was paired with a nutty, spicy mole like a thick paste, bright with its herbs. The agua fresca was a summertime blast of fruit. Yes, yes. All of the food is delicious and amazing. But what takes the restaurant over the top is that the food is comforting and familiar in equal measure to its inventiveness and flawless execution. This is not just food for the tongue and stomach but food for the soul.

    Arrived to no host so another worker had to assist and kept looking around for the hostess. We made…read morea reservation a month prior, the table wasn't ready, but we managed to get seated at a table with other diners. The woman who brought water was very welcoming. The prices on the menu are $5-10 more than the menu on their website. It's a nice dining room, but very loud and the piped-in music makes it worse: I couldn't hear what my date was saying across the table. We started with the smoked trout tostadas. This is kind of ceviche style, and they were delicious. These are "street taco" sized tostadas by the way. The portion was OK but for $20 it could've been a bit more substantial. The duck mole: the duck was nicely unctuous and cooked amazingly, but very salty. The mole had the consistency and taste of hummus. Needless to say it was thick, gloopy and tasted only of cumin. The little salad on the plate was plastered in it. The grilled swordfish Valencia style was just an overly sour salsa verde with a couple chopped green olives with the fish sitting in the watery liquid. The salsa had a kick, but tasted mostly of lime, it was also cold. The swordfish however was grilled perfectly and the portion was great--for $35 I'm glad it was. Beans and rice seemed an overly salty afterthought, and if you don't want beans, too bad, it's served in the same bowl as the rice. The service was almost non-existent--no one checked in on us or asked how things were; there seemed to be only one person taking orders in the dining room and three-four people running around. Our appetizer plates sat in front of us for 15 mins, so when the entrees arrived the runner had a hard time clearing the table and simultaneously putting down the entrees. We didn't see our server again until the end when she gave us the check. Suddenly the charm came on when the tip came up. I appreciate what they're doing, but for that price point there are far better options.
