    Aguachilie Shrimp
    Jarvis J.

    Wanted to have some Mexican seafood and my wife found this food truck in El Monte. OMG, OMG, OMG is it worth the drive from Santa Ana. The food is amazing and is so good. Everything is made to order so it is very fresh. They are open 7 days a week. We order the shrimp tostada, fish tacos, and shrimp tacos. All were outstanding. Had just the right amount of spice to give a kick of heat. And the fish tacos was huge as it really could be 2 tacos in one. The shrimp tacos has a spicy cabbage salsa on top of them that was to die for. This is worth everything and the prices are very reasonable. Definitely coming back and soon.

    Botana culichi XL, got my order wrong! Added octopus and stinky scallops when it clearly stated only shrimp!
    Sandra Dee U.

    Spent $65, asked for the BOTANA CULICHI XL and stated "ONLY SHRIMP" nothing else and they STILL put octopus and scallops which smelled like rotten fish! Went back and told them they got the order wrong and they told us it was our fault for not specifying, we showed them the receipt which clearly stated only cooked shrimp! They refused to fix it knowing it was their mistake. The older lady is so rude, asked her what "only shrimp" means to her and she had no answer. They rather lose a loyal customer than fix their mistake! Never again! Wish I could give zero stars!

    Ceviche mixto

    I was skeptical about trying this place since it's a truck stand. HOWEVER.... I had to get over my fears ( obviously a bad experience NOT from here ) and try it due to the hype. There is plenty of street parking so no need to fight for a space. There are tables and few chairs for you to stay and enjoy your food. I ordered an XL ceviche mixto to go. This place does not take cash or card, zelle only and they will start preparing your food as soon as they receive the payment. Took about 8 minutes or less to get my order ready. I like that they gave me a whole avocado to go except to limes :( . I also ordered tacos dorados de Camaron but my hungry ass ate it never took picture of it. Their taco is big. A regular size tortilla and they are generous with their shrimp. However, was not the best I've had 6/10.

    Shrimp tamal with cheese and Jalapeño

    Its hard to find really good fish and shrimp tacos around the SGV. This little truck is hands down the best I've had in a long time. The seafood is just fried, its SEASONED, and thats very rare. On top of that, the servings are HUGE. You can definitely share a few items. Make sure you get plenty of napkins cuz you'll need them. Its a delicious mess. Definitely going to be my to go spot for baja style tacos. The only reason I didnt give them 5 stars is because of the tamal. It had very good flavor, but the shrimp was over cooked, so it made them rubbery. But everything else was definitely 5 star flavor. Pro Tip: call and order ahead.

    Bought a tostada de "jaiba" today and it was nothing but straight cucumber on it. $5 for a soda!? Is wild! Food was very nasty! I threw it away and went straight to McDonald's waste of $17 NEVER AGAIN! And my tostada had the thinnest 3 slices of avocado. So lo me la enseñaron vs what I paid for. Take your service elsewhere. I do not recommend.

    Everything we ordered was good and when not sure just ask for everything on the side!

    Everything was so good that I forgot to take pictures but the plate was left clean .. My favorite was the fish tacos highly recommend!!

    Ceviche de camaron con mango 10/10 Tacos de camarón mixto 8/10 payment options: Zelle Customer service: 9

    rude guy !

    ZERO stars if i could. They actively promote on Instagram that customers can message them for orders so I reached out earlier in the day. It took over an hour to receive a response, and by the time I showed up in person and politely asked if they could check the message, I was told they had sold out of what I wanted. When I mentioned that the delayed response was the reason I came down in the first place, the response I received was unnecessarily rude and sassy. I work in customer service myself, so I understand how stressful it can get , but professionalism still matters. A simple apology would have gone a long way. Food aside, the attitude alone made this a place I wouldn't return to or recommend. Do better !

    This is their food truck off Amar in La Puente

    Cash, Apple Pay or Zelle They were nice and the service was great The cocktail was good. The shrimp are big It's a decent spot I try to compare to my favorite spot which I don't want to say but a definite try. I'll have to come back and try something else

    One fish & one shrimp taco.
    Chris P. B.

    I'm usually not the type that usually order from food trucks. If you do, order from this food truck. I ordered one fish taco & one shrimp taco. My goodness, the food was spectacular. Fried & cook to perfection. It is good enough for two meal. Make sure you get the red & one green sauce.

    Supposedly this is shrimp.  It's clearly fake crab!  There is no shrimp in these tacos.
    Choochvarna H.

    My friends go here and get amazing fried shrimp and fried fish tacos. I drove two hours only to be told they don't have fried fish and fried shrimp tacos today. Today they had hard tacos dorados with shrimp. I ordered shrimp tacos dorados and drive home only to find there's no shrimp at all. It's fake crab meat. Who sells fake crab meat and calls it a shrimp taco. Should be illegal, and this place is a complete disappointment. Maybe it's a race thing, and they didn't want me there, but to try and push fake crab meat off as shrimp is unethical.

    Amazing food!

    10/10 you have to try the empanadas and the aguachiles cocidos my favorite from here!! If you like Baja style fish and shrimp tacos this is the place to go!They're fast and super friendly they have some tables and chairs to enjoy your food there and they accept cash and zelle! Definitely recommend trying this place out

    Michelada y Cóctel de camarón

    The food overall was very good and a great portion for the price. The service was great and it was very quick we got out food in less than 10 minutes. The ambiance is great they have good music. I definitely recommend coming here especially on a hot day it hits great. Will definitely be back.

Service: Sweet and friendly faces! They serve you up as quickly as they can and are also patient if you need to decide what to get. Food: As a vegetarian, I cannot give my own opinions but I will relay the opinions of my mother. The options are all good and very flavorful. Nothing was dry. Still juicy and delicious! The Lengua/Beef tongue and Cabeza/Beef head is her favorite. You serve yourself cilantro, onions, etc. Use the baggies for what'e in the tubs and of course the sauce containers for the pico de gallo, salsas, and guacamole. This is a small street food business that's well-lit and you can tell they keep things neat and organized. Overall, I'll definitely take my mom back for more and let my niece try stuff too!

They make their tortillas fresh and I loved watching them make the mulitas. There was so much cheese, I was convinced to get one! We visited mainly for their Papa Rellena (a Mexican-style loaded baked potato) and it did not disappoint. There's nowhere to sit but it's a great spot to grab your food and take it home. There's lots of sauce and topping options as well. We'll definitely be coming back!

They make it super easy to book an event, set up and their prices are fair for the quality of the food and agua frescas! I believe they also have fun add ons, so it's not only tacos. For the meats, the one that goes fast is always asada and then pollo. The fresh salsas are also pretty good-- I think he also has a super hot one which my guests love. Don't forget to try the beans bc they are my absolute favorite, super flavorful and I don't even like beans too much! For our last couple parties we did the watermelon cucumber lemonade and on a super hot summer day it is SUPER refreshing!! Lastly, set up is pretty easy. They do their own thing, you just have to set up space for them and they're always super nice about everything and ready to serve on time from when you confirm you need the food. Will continue to use them for our future catering events and happy to have found them when I did!

The tacos and mulitas were delicious, with great-quality meat and plenty of flavor. They also cater much more than tacos, including bacon-wrapped hot dogs, burgers, BBQ, brisket, desserts and more. I was especially impressed with their setup. Even during a busy event, everything was clean, organized and well maintained, including the condiment station. The team was also incredibly friendly and professional. If you're looking for catering for a private party, school/community event or large gathering, these guys are definitely worth checking out. Great food, great people, and a very well-run operation.
