    Tostada Miata and shrimp taco
    Christine R.

    Came across this restaurant while working in the area and now I try to stop by when I'm on my way home. The ceviche is so flavorful, fish tacos are amazing and the asada meat is juicy with tons of flavor. Highly recommended

    Plus I love that they have parking!!!!

    The food is always good here. Tried this when we did clinicals at LA community back in 2019 and ever since we've been coming back. My go to here is their mixto burrito which is the fish and shrimp burrito.

    I work down the street and this is our company's go to place on tuesdays for their fish tacos! You can't beat 1.25$ for a delicious deep fried piece of heaven. They don't skimp out on anything here and I love their consistency. Super good deal on tuesdays and sundays so come by if you don't have time on the week days. Two tacos is more than enough but 3 leaves me super full. And for the price why not get 5!? I've only tried their tacos, but I'm sure anything else on their menu is equally as delicious. They're really good with their Togo boxes too because each container comes with a lime and a grilled pepper. My containers came two tacos per and it was more than enough. Getting hungry just thinking about it *insert dool face emoji

    The place is a small little corner building with an outdoor seating area, very homey. We ordered the tostada de ceviche code camarones. It was delicious and flavorful. It came with avocado and freshly made tortilla chips I also ordered tacos de camaron dorados those were also good. The gentleman that took the order was so kind and his smile was so warming. Overall great service and food.

    What a deal!! $1.15 per fish taco on Tuesdays and Sundays. Insane value and equally delicious. If you are looking for taco Tuesday and you are relatively close, I would definitely high recommend. Also awesome that this deal goes on every Sunday. Parking is street parking so might need to circle around the nearby neighborhoods before you find a spot.

    Shrimp tacos. Yeah... we came back and got a photo this time.

    So a bit of a funny story. I came looking for Mariscos Jalisco having had my sights on it since I…read morewatched the Jonathan Gold documentary shortly after moving to LA. I had the address on my car navigation but as I drove up to the block I noticed the 4 Vientos truck and wrongly assumed this was Jalisco. So I turned it and promptly ordered at the truck. I did briefly question why the signage was different but the long queues and the delicious looking morsels that everyone around me were eating made me assume once again that I was at the right place. In my ignorance, I did not know that this entire stretch of Olympic Blvd was home to many such mariscos and taco trucks. In any case, I ordered. I ate. I was plenty satisfied and more than impressed and it wasn't until after I got home and did more research that I realized I was at the 4 Vientos truck. Well, no harm done. It just meant I needed to go back for the Jalisco truck very soon. Fresh seafood! Excellent tostadas. You can't go wrong!

    The tacos dorados de mariscos I had here were pretty good! The crunchy taco shell was filled with…read moremixed seafood which was yummy. The avocado and salsa on top also added creaminess and freshness. It wasn't as flavorful compared to a similar taco from the nearby Mariscos Jalisco, but I did enjoy the raw seafood and fresh flavors. The spot is a food truck with no areas to sit (not sure of there was). Cash only I believe as well. A great spot, but I think I would still opt for Mariscos Jalisco.

Social media brought me here and I'm unsure if I would come back again due to personal experience. If a friend wants to come by I wouldn't object to it but I wouldn't make my way out here on my own. Food was good but no wow factor, skip to the bottom for food description. My fluently Spanish speaking friend called in the order to avoid us waiting too long. I went to pick it up with different friend ( we both don't speak Spanish..). We told the staff that we called in the order she went in and grabbed the receipt $74.25 total. I handed her $84.25 she went inside with our money while we waited. She came back out with the box of food neatly packed, receipt taped to box didn't have any dollar amount only the list of what was ordered. I asked her "my change? my money" she looked at me stunned.. and she said "oh your change..." She came back out with five $1 bills and a single $5 bill. She had in one hand my receipt and $1 plus a $5 bill on top of the receipt covering, totaling $6 while she was handing me that she said "seis dinero." I kept telling her "no I need $10.. I gave you $84.25.." She still said "yes $6." One hand had $6 with my receipt, other hand the $4. I pulled my calculator out and typed in 84.25 to show her. She said "yes $10" and handed me all the bills.. I'm not sure what was miscommunicated or what was misunderstood.. but there was no reason for her to hold the other $4 in her other hand if she wanted to give me back a total of $10 in change. I later see on the printed receipt that whoever manned the registered entered only $80.25 Tostada Aguachile Verde -good, flavorful and fresh. Al Gobernador (tacos)- Sinaloa type of shrimp tacos. Shrimp was cooked perfectly and not overly cooked. Shrimp was super flavorful paired with chopped onions and bell peppers. My favorite out of the things we tried. This might be a better option if you personally don't really like tortilla that's just heated up and not fried. Ensenada Camaron (tacos)- shrimp was a bit overcooked under the batter. Batter was light and fluffy. Didn't personally like the tortilla it's served on. Dorados (tacos)- seems to be their signature dish, deep fried shrimp tacos. Shell was crispy and shrimp inside is well seasoned and doesn't come out overcooked. Good but not wow. Ensenada Pescado (tacos)- fish was buttery and flakey, batter was light and fluffy. Also didn't like the tortillas it's served on.
