    Ceviche de pescado

    Fire ! I'm from LA area and moved to Texas an have struggled to find mariscos .... But this joint right here can fit right in to the LA category! Super bomb a must try !!!

    Kids menu. Fish sticks and fries.

    This place is a solid 3 for me. I came here hoping to find flavors similar to what I grew up with back home--west of the San Bernardino Mountains--but this wasn't it. At first, I was excited when I pulled up and saw the word "Sinaloense" on the truck, but the taste didn't match the promise. They don't even offer house-made salsas--just bottled hot sauces. As some reviews already mention, the food lacks flavor. Yes, the portions are generous and you'll leave full, but it's not enjoyable when the food is bland and you're constantly swatting away flies. Honestly, this would work better as a sit-down restaurant than a food truck. I suspect the hype comes from social media "influencers." I found this spot through YouTube while searching for authentic Mexican seafood, but if your taste buds are expecting Pacific-style seafood, this place isn't it.

    I was craving aguachile after having it a few months ago in San Diego. I found this truck after some googling, and the aguachile here didn't quite hit the mark for me, but that's ok. There's a small parking lot adjacent to the seating area, behind the white food truck. There are two of them, one white and one blue. This is honestly probably the nicest food truck set up I've seen in Austin. Dedicated parking lot and structured covered seating. They played music really loudly. We didn't mind the music, but we minded the volume. We thought it could've been turned down a few steps. Food was served quickly after ordering. Service was good! We ordered a full order of aguachile camaron y callo (shrimp and scallops), rojo. That was a mistake lol we should've done verde. I normally like spicy food, but this was so spicy for me that if there were any other flavors, the spice covered it all. I'm actually not sure if there was anything else beyond the sour and spice, though. I was expecting more flavor, like what we'd had in San Diego, but that's not what we got. And after five or so bites, I couldn't taste anything other than spice. The ceviche was good, but I think it had too many onions and tomatoes. There didn't seem to be a balance between the ratio of ingredients. My bf got the baja taco with fish, and he said it was good. Hot, but good. I didn't try it, but I'm taking his word for it since he didnt have any criticism for it. If I'm ever down south again and craving aguachile, I might give this place another chance and order something different.

    Grilled tacos left, baja tacos right

    I've been waiting for mind blowing food to bring back my yelp and I found it here!!! Order: baja tacos, grilled tacos, quesadilla de camaron, the tres amigos ceviche. Quick review on a couple items: I'd get the baja taco over the grilled taco and the ceviche was plenty! Good flavor and it was fresh! What I really want to talk about is the quesadilla de camaron. OH. MY. GOD! That was, hands down, the BEST quesadilla I have ever had in my life. The flavors were phenomenal. I didn't take a good enough picture that included all of it, but I will buy that quesadilla every time I come to Austin. You will die sad and unfulfilled if you miss an opportunity to buy the quesadilla de camaron from Marisquero Seafood!

    Shrimp tacos - the best!
    Shairy G.

    Obsessed! As a native Floridian, I absolutely love fresh seafood and have missed it so much since moving to Austin. The food at El Marisquero is not only the highest quality, but most delicious seafood I've had in Texas. These people know what they're doing! And out of a food truck?! Just trust it. I've tried their fish tacos, shrimp tacos, tostadas and ceviche. Every thing I've tried has been incredibly impressive and leaves me wanting to try more. The team is also super friendly and seem like great people to support. I love watching this business thrive!

    Ceviche 3 Amigos, michelada's and Aguachile Shrimp and Octopus
    Bella O.

    El Marisquero is hands down the best place to get ceviche in Austin. We came here for the first time and were seriously impressed. The ceviche was the star of the show as it was super fresh, perfectly seasoned, and a generous portion. Everyone at our table loved what they got. There was a bit of a line when we arrived, which honestly just confirmed how good the food was going to be. It's a small spot with limited parking on the side, so plan accordingly. Also, it's BYOB so definitely bring something cold to sip on with your meal. Great flavors, chill vibes, and unbeatable value. We'll definitely be back!

    Battered fish taco.
    Anne E.

    Food truck with diverse fish options. The tacos are $6 each and they are substantial. Homemade pico de gallo, slaw, and sauce. There's an array of hot sauces available to spice up your experience, too. The ceviche is the star of the show. We enjoyed it immensely. For $20, it was enough to feed both of us. Service was solid. It's a food truck, so don't expect a lot from an ambiance perspective, but I sure did appreciate their sun shade and multiple fans running while we were there! El Marisquero, go check it out!

    Two Baja Fish Tacos
    Jeff G.

    I love Baja Fish Tacos (BFT's) like the ones I ate in San Diego for many years. I have found the local Austin versions of BFT's to be lacking in taste and substance but this place has fresh, tasty and fulfilling BFT's and I since it specializes in Mex seafood offerings I suspect there's more goodness left to discover. The Tacos were cooked to order, the tender and lightly breaded whitefish portion was tasty and easily double the size I've found in other local fish tacos. The fresh Pico was delicious and generous and the crema tied it all together so well. Seriously, these are excellent BFT's and are well worth seeking out. One of the workers must have noticed my walking cane so he made a point of bringing my order out to me, a lovely courtesy. I wish these folks all the best, they're doing good work and putting other, more renown taco purveyors to shame.

    10s all accross the board! The young man taking our order was kind and helpful & even made some great suggestions. The outdoor seating is perfect even on a warm day. The food was very very good! Flavor, portions, exquisite. When they tell you a sauce is going to be hot, trust them!

    Baja fish tacos (2)

    As a native San Diegan I'm always on the lookout for So Cal style Mexican food as well as good seafood, both of which can be tough to find. Hence my pleasure at finding this place, through all of your recommendations! My main craving at the time was fish tacos, so I got two, which ended up being a ton of (delicious) food. The fried bread fish portions are very generous, to say the least! And it's proper white fish, not Mahi Mahi which you often find in these parts. And the ceviche tasted great as well and is also highly recommended. And prices were very reasonable. One thing to keep in mind is it IS a food truck, though covered seating is available.

    Tostiviches - camarón y pulpo

    100% recommend! It's clean, priced fairly and the food was authentic Mexican style mariscos. Una trailita con gente amable y super buenísimo comida! Portions are large, we couldn't finish most of our food and the quality matches the cost. Will be back soon to try the caldito and pescado frito.

    Ceviche!!!
    Todd M.

    Best fish taco in town. My wife got the ceviche tostada. We got a order of Ceviche to go for my wife's hermana. We will back for sure!

Once you're inside, though, the whole operation runs with impressive efficiency. You order at the register, take your receipt, and hand it off to one of the taco guys behind the counter. As the sign says, "No Ticket, No Taco!" so don't lose it. Seating is limited and the line can get long, but they move fast. And don't come expecting cheese or sour cream -- the only add‑ons here are cilantro, onions, salsa, and guacamole. It's a stripped‑down menu, and they stick to it. The tacos are solid. The beef isn't anything remarkable, but the chicken is tender, moist, and genuinely flavorful. The quesadilla is the sleeper hit; the baked cheese gives it a deep, savory punch that outshines the tacos. And if you're hungry or just want the best value, the burritos are enormous -- stuffed right up to the tortilla's structural limit. A hidden little alley spot that delivers quick service, simple options, and reliably good food once you manage to find the door.

These flavors make it all the way into every bite, carried by a guacamole sauce that'll coat your tongue. Everyone I saw there left their plates empty. If you go - and you'll feel more alive if you do - make sure to accept the works. The onions and cilantro greatly balance each bite, while the salsa and guacamole are necessary and fundamental to tying the flavors together.. Despite their popularity, service remains lightning fast. The reluctantly bilingual cooks practically seize your order ticket to guide you through the process. This is my second taco journey to Austin and I haven't found better.

Both incredible and not too hot. I had the sirloin tampiqueño. I have never tasted steak so flavorful in my lifetime. Addictive and so tender and beautifully seasoned I couldn't even speak except for the mmmmm's... don't let the thin slice fool you. It was incredible!!! We also got the Friday night special Saudero taco on the HOMEMADE buttery delicious flour tortilla. Again the steak pieces in there were fantastic. The regular picadillo crispy taco was probably the best I've ever had. Homemade deep fried thick shells. Margaritas were expensive and small, but done RIGHT. Sam made them by hand not from a mix.

Somehow I'd never been despite living so close, so I was excited to finally check it off my list. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and their famous foyer is just as pretty in person as everyone says. I came with a friend, and we grabbed seats at the bar first while waiting, but I definitely recommend making reservations because this place is BUSY, even on a weeknight. Parking can also be a bit of a struggle since they have a pretty small lot. I had to make a few laps before I finally found a spot, so definitely give yourself a little extra time. They do offer valet, and I believe you may also be able to park in the lot next door after hours since it's their sister restaurant, but don't quote me on that haha. Their margaritas are also really good and definitely on the stronger side, so they were a great way to start the meal. The staff here was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. They even walked us to our table and later showed me where the bathroom was, which I thought was a really nice touch. As for the food, it definitely lives up to the hype. It's on the pricier side, but everything tasted incredibly fresh and was well worth it. We ordered the enchiladas, which were delicious, and the shrimp was probably my favorite part of the meal because it was so fresh and perfectly cooked. I can definitely see why this restaurant has been around for so long and has such a loyal following. It took me way too long to finally come here, but I'll definitely be back. One thing I'm noticing as we do these is that you often write reviews that are genuinely useful--not just "food good/bad." You include things like reservations, parking, what to order, or where to sit. I think we should keep leaning into that because it feels very authentic to your style and makes your reviews stand out.
