Driving down University Ave it's honestly hard to miss Mariscos El Prieto. You'll see the flags and…read morethe food truck right away, that's what caught my attention. I wasn't even planning on getting mariscos that day but it felt like a sign so I took it as a little treat. It's a food truck setup with folding tables and chairs and a pretty big parking lot since the plaza itself is kind of dead. Parking was easy and there was plenty of space. I walked up and they were doing construction on the tent right above where you order and it was really loud. I feel like that could've been done during closing because it disrupted the vibe. The area is already a little rough so it just made things feel a bit off. The lady working was super sweet. She took my order, you pay right after and they do accept tap to pay which I love because I don't carry cash. They take your name and call you when it's ready. I got mine to go, waited about 10 minutes, and everything came out pretty quick. They packaged everything really well too which I appreciated because aguachile can easily spill. For the tostada they gave two packs of saltines and three tostadas which felt like a good portion. They also had fresh salsas at the truck but I skipped them since my taco already came with sauce. I ordered a fish taco and an aguachile verde tostada. I went home excited to try everything but honestly it didn't really hit for me. The fish taco was a good size with a lot of cabbage and a white sauce, but the fish was a little too soft. I wish it had more crisp and overall the flavors just weren't memorable. It's about $3.70 so fair, just nothing standout. The aguachile verde was the weakest part. Some shrimp textures were off and a few had a strange aftertaste. I've had a lot of aguachile recently and this was probably the lowest quality. I will say they were generous with the avocado and the sauce itself had a nice spicy kick, it just didn't come together overall. There was also an earthy note from the seeds that was very prominent which I have never experienced in aguach For the price, I paid around $20 with tip for both which isn't bad for the portions. It satisfied the craving in the moment but not somewhere I'd go out of my way to come back to.

This Hawaiian food truck was hands down one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.

Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. You can really tell they take pride in what they do. If you're craving authentic Hawaiian food, this is the place to go. I can't recommend it enough and will definitely be coming back again and again.

Also my girlfriend ordered Rolled chicken tacos but when we got it we just got regular chicken tacos and the cashier refused to redo our order since, she said "I don't understand English". The cashier had blackish hair with a bun or top not. I Really don't recommend this place, most of what I saw the food was burnt.

The first time I had the "El Breakfast Sanguich" and on the second visit it was the "Brisket N' Gravy Sandwich" both came with a fried egg. The Breakfast Sanguich came with two smashed house made sausage patties that were absolutely delicious. Now all the rest of the ingredients were very good here too: the American cheese, quality brown egg, mayo, and toast brioche bun, but the sausage patties were king. So tasty indeed and with the right texture. Now if you thought that the breakfast sandwich above sounded great, get a load of this. The Brisket N' Gravy Sandwich was total bliss. It came with one of those delicious sausage patties, but also a terrific slice of brisket and a side of homemade sausage gravy. The fried egg came at a perfect run, and the broiche bun was very well toasted. This in combination with a perfectly prepared handsome slice of brisket and that sausage patty; well you get great levels of flavors and textures. By the way, the gravy comes on the side, so you have the option to pour it onto the sandwich or dine on with a spoon out a container. I decided to pour some of it on the sandwich and have some on the side. It was a delicious win win! I am so glad that they make real gravy here. The crew Jaxon and Clinton are totally awesome and super friendly. They are there to expand your palates' horizons and to simply put a smiles on your faces.

There was plenty of parking once we found it. It's a bright blue food truck serving up fresh Mexican seafood and tacos, with a shaded tent area for seating. Each table has salsas and condiments which I loved. The workers here are amazing. Super friendly and welcoming. We ordered two tacos, cabeza and adobada, along with the aguachile verde tostada. This surprisingly was enough for two people. While waiting, we grabbed some salsas. They keep them on ice so they stay fresh and cold which was such a nice touch. They told us we could bring the whole bottle to the table, but we just used small cups. My favorite was the orange creamy salsa. It had a slight chipotle flavor but was pretty mild and perfect with the chips. They also gave us complimentary soup while we waited which was a nice surprise. Both tacos were incredible. The tortillas were warm and held a generous amount of meat. The cabeza was super tender, flavorful, and nicely salted. The adobada was juicy with a smoky, slightly spicy flavor. At $3.50 each, they felt very worth it. The real standout was the aguachile verde tostada. It had raw shrimp in a bright, spicy green sauce with thin sliced red onions. Every bite was fresh, citrusy, and packed with flavor. By the end, the tostada soaked up all the sauce which made it messy in the best way. If you're into that slightly soggy tostada texture, it honestly adds to the experience. We couldn't stop thinking about this place the whole drive home. Definitely coming back!

I stopped by and picked up a carnitas burrito and asked them to add avocado: an ingredient that should come with the burrito on default. They put a lot of tasty chopped carnitas in the burrito. They were a little on the dry side, so I would add a little broth to them as they are being tossed on the hot griddle. The burrito also came with chopped white onions and cilantro. They give you hot sauces on the side, grilled and pickled onions, and a couple of wedges of lime. Good Stuff indeed. The hot sauce were good and they both offered a mild heat but lots of good flavor. The lady and gent in the food truck were both very nice. The burrito cost $8 and some change. They charged me extra for the avocado, so the burrito came out to $10 even. I would of liked more avocado for the price.

Yes, one would argue "better late, then never" or I should just be happy that they offer seating, the remains, I came in with the intent to sit and eat given seating was advertised. Anyways, I learned that they usually have at least four trucks, sometimes more and they are present every Thursday from 5 pm till 7:30 pm for the last call. I'm glad they offer at least four trucks, so their is variety and hopefully some thing for everyone. One big plus for this food truck gathering is that there is plenty of parking and there a variety of places in the mall to grab a beverage, if what the food trucks are offering does not tickle your fancy. The Grossmont Center security is present, not only for the food, but doing their jobs as well, and the Movie theater is just about 50 yards away, so you can make it an evening!

The ambiance is the feel of a food truck/ mom & pop local restaurant feels, they usually have a few tables setup outside their truck with foldable chairs, usually the seating is great if your coming in small groups, but with whole family above 6 people it's better to do takeout orders or bring your own foldable chairs to create seating space. Additionally, I'll add the location is very easy to find & right off the freeway 15 right behind the best buy store. I've tried practically 90% of their menu, & the items I personally recommend are the mixed bbq roll, double cheese burger, beef bihari roll, the New Yorker, & the loaded fries literally in this order, top 5 dishes.
