I live near this place and severely regret not going sooner! The food is fresh, prepared quickly and with a smile. Authentic Mexican mariscos and tacos are hard to find but this place does it so well it might be better than my mom's. No but seriously, if you are in the area you have to stop by and order something because everything is absolutely delicious. My top recommendations are the Aguachiles and Baja Shrimp tacos. read more

This is a great find. I had Pollo nachos and they were great. My husband had the Crazy Ceviche. It was amazing. It is served in a big, chilled bowl with tortilla chips. He ate the whole serving. The serving size is impressive. The service is very friendly. We asked for suggestions and guy was very helpful. The food truck is an a smog check parking lot.... not great ambiance, but the food is worth a few minutes in the parking lot. Try it!! read more

Before I even get into their mariscos, their Carne Asada is ON POINT. I struggle to decide between ceviche and carne asada burritos because it's that good. Mariscos are bomb! Everyone there is friendly and helpful! I like the food truck vibe. Don't sleep on this place. read more

Well, what a convenient surprise finding this taco truck right next to a smog check center on Grand Ave, PACIFIC BEACH. Parking if you're lucky. I'm not local so maybe you will know where to park. Friendly service. Quite an extensive menu, including adobada tacos, burritos and sea food choices. I think it's worth checking out. They seemed to have regular customers. Covered seating and hand sanitizer available. The adobada taco was six dollars at this time~ July 2025, which was a bit pricey. However, I did need a fork to eat most of it before I could pick it up. The fresh lime brightened the taco perfectly. I would request cilantro next time. It was substantial with plenty of meat on two yellow corn tortillas and spicy goodness in the flavor department. No slack on the seasoning here. Lots of finely diced tomatoes, and a guacamole sauce.. I'd probably give it five stars if I've tried a few more items. This seems like a hot spot for a quick seafood tacos, burritos and etc. read more

What a fun little find! If you're dubious about ordering seafood from a food truck - don't be! The menu is diverse, offering cooked as well as fresh options in all combinations of seafood, and the portions are so generous. I ordered the mixed ceviche, and was particularly impressed with the tenderness of the octopus, which I usually find tough and chewy. The flavors are well-melded and refreshing, and a splash of hot sauce really does the trick. We also ordered the Saturday Daily Special, which is a 24 oz cocktail, and chose the Campechano. Unfortunately, it seems the daily special version does not come with an oyster on the shell, which was one of our main reasons for checking out the business. However, the cocktail was very good. As someone who had never tried one before, I was interested in the distinct clamato flavor and enjoyed dipping the crackers in the liquid. This dish also came with a wider variety of seafood, including scallops, but we suspect a couple other ingredients (like the oyster) may have been omitted for the daily special. I do wish that the tostadas and chips were higher quality, as I found them to be somewhat stale, and neither the ceviche nor the cocktail can be eaten without these. Overall, it's a fun, casual place to fill up on a good bite if you're in the area! read more

**February 2024: Sunday Afternoon** My friend and I were on the hunt for some delicious Mexican food as one of my favorite trucks was no longer around. Given the high reviews I had high hopes that this would be a good replacement and I can confidently say yes! The truck is located in the same parking lot as a gas station and there's a tent covering a small seating area in front of the truck. It's a very casual setting, but perfect to My friend and I contemplating on a number of items, and ate the following. Shrimp/Octopus Ceviche ($21 - big sharing plate/ ideal of 2 people): This was a fantastic, refreshing, and generous item to share. My friend and I were only able to eat half of it (We took the remainder home to eat for dinner). The chef asked if we wanted the shrimp prepared in lime or boiled and we selected the former - IMHO it's definitely the way to go. The dish comes with a half avocado, limes, cucumber, onions, tomatoes etc as well as firm tostados to scoop up the ceviche to enjoy. Octopus Taco ($8): Regular. I want to say it was prepared with a garlic sauce and I really liked this octopus. It had a nice firm texture that wasn't rubbery, and worked well with all the taco ingredients. Soup: The owner gave out a complimentary seafood soup while we waited for our items. It came out pippin hot and was very flavorful It has a little bit of a kick, but that didn't stop my friend from devouring it. Summary: Overall I really enjoyed my experience here and would be happy to come back and try more! read more

Baja fish tacos on a Tuesday are $8.99. This is an incredible value for these delicious full sized tacos and is a whole meal. Located in the lot of a gas station, you should make this your pit stop in the area. read more

I was excited to try this place because surfers I met out in the water gave their tuesday special rave reviews. It was just okay... +making fish tacos accessible to the PB area +hot sauce options +nice presentation +my friends and I easily fit at one of the picnic tables, well lit at night -took 25+ minutes for my order -were out of napkins, had to ask twice -the fried fish itself was a bitter, not sure if it's the oil or the batter -$20+ for my aguaschiles ceviche, might as well go to a sit down restaurant like karina's. It was mostly cucumber and onion. Overall it's fine but I'm not going out of my way to come back read more

Overrated!!! Do not go here. Such a disappointment. Mediocre at best. I had the fish ceviche... it was meh.

Amazing flavor and freshness.. was a bit skeptical because it's in the parking lot of a smog check place but man oh man I was pleasantly surprised. I got the mix ceviche and my husband got the crazy mix ceviche and wow... flavorful fresh not fishy and old tasting like most places. Ended up grabbing 2 tacos to end it and my favorite was the spicy shrimp and octopus taco... and the fact that they dont use the white tortillas for the tacos is a big plus. Any place that uses those automatic fail in my book. Thank you for the good food and great service will definitely be back when in San Diego. read more

As a lover of seafood this place hits the spot. Food is always spot on. Ive been here multiple times already and am never disappointed

This place has the absolute best spicy octopus taco I have ever had! It is so amazing! The octopus is so tender and the spice is just enuf to let you know it's there, but not enuf to make you stop! It is a lot of taco too! If you are hungry, you can eat two, but otherwise I recommend only one. Maybe another taco to round out your meal, but two of the octopus is a lot of food! I have not tried the ceviche for myself yet, but have tasted it when others have ordered it. So good, but I can't stop ordering the spicy octopus taco. I'm only in town a couple of times a year, but I always stop by here. Highly recommend this place! read more

5 Stars - Worth Every Mile! We drove 40 minutes just to try this hidden gem--and let me tell you, it was so worth it. Supporting small businesses is important to us, and this one completely blew us away. The fish tacos? INSANE. The fish was so fresh it practically melted in your mouth, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The flavors were clean, vibrant, and authentic--exactly what you dream of when you think of coastal Mexican food. And don't even get me started on the shrimp ceviche. It's to die for. Tangy, fresh, loaded with flavor, and so refreshing--honestly one of the best we've ever had. You can taste the love in every bite. We also tried the shrimp burrito, and wow. Packed, flavorful, and seriously satisfying. Everything about this place screams quality and heart. If you're on the fence--go. Even if you live 40 minutes away like us (or more!), it's absolutely worth the trip. This food truck is the real deal, and we're already planning our next visit. read more

This has been our Tuesday dinner choice for the last year! Their crazy and mixed ceviche is so fresh and amazing and even on special on Fridays. We go on Tuesdays for their fish taco special for the kids but my husband and I have been opting for the ceviche and sometimes do a Friday lunch date just to have more. Taking it home is still great (we live nearby) but eating on the spot (they serve it in a cute bowl) is way worth it! They have amazing hot sauces in their fridge too so everyone gets to customize it their way. Owner is super friendly and always willing to give recommendations. Oh and they sometimes give you their delishicious cabbage soup while you wait... It's the best in winter but love it just the same in summer. Recommend them to everyone I know! read more

I was dying for some mexican seafood, and used to eat here last year when it was still Kiko's. I noticed right away the menu had changed and it was quite a bit more Expensive. Fish tacos are now $375.00 and used to be $1.99. We had 2 shrimp tostada's and 2 baja fish tacos (no drink) and the total was $24.90. Seems like alot of money! I am sorry to say that the food was ok, but not great. I could tell the ceviche tostada's tasted different and the fish taco was just ok. I feel Kiko's was better and less expensive. read more
