Ordered Tuna ceviche 7/10 (does not come w/tostada) like the photo on their truck. $18 Also ordered a fish taco 7/10 & shrimp coctel 6/10 Total w/tip $45.20 The reason I decided to support is, @hungryinwhittier made it look exquisitely delicious! I didn't receive any side sauces, maybe I should have asked for some. read more

Their food truck came to my workplace today and I was pleasantly surprised to see they offer burgers & fries!!! I got their classic burger which came with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, house sauce and a side of fries. The burger patty reminded me of a smash burger and was soooo good and well seasoned. The burger and fries were super fresh! I loved that their fries were the seasoned, breaded kind. All this was $15+tax which is not bad at all. I would highly recommend! read more

Being Mexican, from the coastal town of Nayarit, MX, I am very picky about my seafood, especially my ceviche. I have been to countless marisco spots, yet they fail to hit the mark. Until I found Arenita! The ceviche is by far the best ceviche I have ever had (and I make great ceviche). Every time they are at my local brewery, I drag my wife just to get some ceviche and bomb shrimp tacos! read more

We had Mariscos Arenita at a brewery last weekend. We ordered carne asada fries, a gobernador taco, and a fish taco. It was $35, which I thought was a bit much, but the food was delicious and we were full, so it wasn't a terribly expensive dinner. My husband had the fries, the portion was massive! They were thick steak fries loaded with so much perfectly seasoned carne asada, cheese, and sauces. I had a few bites of the meat, and when my husband tapped out, I couldn't stop grabbing the fries that had absorbed all the delicious carne asada juices. YUM. My tacos were great! The gobenador was one of the best I have ever had. Their sauces, one a creamy chipotle and one a very spicy green salsa, were so good. They also put some freshly fried chips on my plate and I loved them. I am now following them on IG so I know where they will be, cause I need to eat from this truck again! read more

A disappointing catch. Mariscos Arenita's Instagram promises seafood heaven, but the reality falls short. The guy taking orders with the pink hair was more focused on his pen hits than service. The quesadilla arrived in threes instead of the requested fours, service was slow, and they kept skimping pennies by turning off the grill. The asada burrito was small and fatty with lots of filler, and they ran out of chips for nachos, then skimped once the owner brought a refill. This satellite location is sinking the ship and can't even recover with the ambiance of being anchored at Monkish with a cold Foggier Window.. The ambiance is great because it's at Monkish brewery. read more

Decided to check this place out because I saw an IG post and read really good reviews on it. Honestly, when we got there, the place the food truck in was sketchy. It was in a dirt lot all on its own surrounded by other businesses. One of which was a liquor store. There was no one there ordering and there was only one guy in the truck taking orders and making the food. We ordered a few asada tacos and gobernador tacos. I have to say, they were all good. The tacos came with chips and salsa. The meats were not dry and was actually flavorful. They aren't stingy on the meats either. Service was cool, we had questions about what some of the stuff on the menu was and the guy was really helpful. Will definitely go back. read more

Picked up tacos and aguachile from their food truck outside of my apartment and it was so good and different from other Mexican food trucks I've tried. Tortillas were moist and flavorful and tasted homemade, and the meat had a nice bite. The highlight was definitely the avocado crema, which brought out the flavor of the meat and balanced out the whole dish. Aguachile was fresh and spicy if you're into that. Fish taco was also crispy and well balanced with salsa and greens. I would highly this food truck for anyone wanting authentic baja style tacos. read more

I consider myself to be a fish taco expert since I order them whenever I can. These fish tacos are one of the best. If not the best. Very light breading that gives it that crunch without overpowering the flavor and texture of the soft, delicate fish underneath. All tucked inside a large blue corn tortilla and topped with crunchy veggies and sauces. If you like fish tacos you are going to love these. There is no going back now. read more

My favorite food truck. We frequent the local breweries, usually hitting up at least one every weekend, and we often choose which one depending on the food truck of the day. If this truck is at one, we almost always go there. The seafood is fresh and delicious and full of flavor. Always hits the spot when you need a break from all the heavy, greasy foods most of the other trucks carry. It's more filling than it looks when you first get it. Sometimes they carry oysters which are my husband's favorite but they're seasonal. read more

Mariscos Arenitas catered our post-wedding brunch at Trademark Brewery. Liz was very helpful when we were planning our brunch out and we quickly identified the menu we wanted our guests to have. The day of the event was a bit chaotic because she wasn't there and I had to call her to get the logistics down. As a result, the taco service started a bit later than expected, though they adjusted when it would end correspondingly. In terms of the food, we got the asada, chicken, and veggie tacos. They were also very solid if not spectacular in taste and were very filling, though we didn't get any of their seafood specialities. Overall, things ran pretty smoothly and our guests were satisfied! read more

A bit of a bite on the seasoning but really awesome. So flavorful. Then we had the shrimp and the fish tacos. Fish and shrimp are grilled with amazing seasonings and the shells are cooked on the grill also. No frying involved, a nice heathy choice in pop up seafood offerings. The chips alone were worth it. I'm so glad we crossed paths with this pop up. A wonderful seafood pop up. Everything is fresh and flavors are amazing. read more

We had Mariscos Arenitas cater our wedding last weekend on May 4th, 2024. We had 130 guests and everyone truly enjoyed the variety of tacos and the burgers from the Arenitas Burger truck. The Asada Fries were my favorite accompanied by a burger. Liz provided two different trucks for the event and we had a third truck (Italia on the Road) serving Italian pasta. When they were done serving our guests, they came inside and brought the remaing food that we purchased in to go containers. Truly professional and everyone was full and satisfied.

Based on the sauce alone, I'd definitely try again in a month or two to see if the quality of the crawfish improves as we get deeper into crawfish season. The clams were hit and miss as some were great while others were handy. Generous amounts of sausages and potatoes were given for a good price. My wife and I were able to finish the add ons in one sitting. I'd give the restaurant and overall 3.5 right now, 5 for the sauce alone and a bit lower than a 3 for the seafood quality.

I decided to try this place out today since it's very close to my work…read more The service was not great; the lady that greeted me was not friendly; did not feel welcome. The food had good flavor, except for the shrimp (two shrimp ceviche tostadas) was completely raw. I wasted $35 on this since I only ate the tomatoes and onions.

Disappointing Experience at Mariscos Arenita Food Truck I recently visited Mariscos Arenita, a food truck located outside a local brewery, and unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. I ordered a shrimp cocktail and was shocked to find only seven measly shrimp in the dish. Not only was the portion size disappointing, but the flavor was also off, lacking the freshness and vibrant taste I expected. To make matters worse, the prices at Mariscos Arenita were exorbitant. I paid a staggering $18 for the lackluster shrimp cocktail and an additional $8 for a serving of plain fries, which felt like a rip-off considering the quality and quantity of the food provided. Overall, I left Mariscos Arenita feeling unsatisfied and regretful of my purchase. I would caution other diners to manage their expectations when visiting this food truck, as the high prices do not align with the underwhelming dining experience offered. read more

I recently visited this food truck while at Green Cheek and found the experience disappointing. The food was mediocre at best--lacking flavor and not as fresh as I'd hoped. On top of that, the prices were quite steep for what you get. I was expecting more value and better quality based on the cost. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back. read more

I'm incredibly picky about food...temperature, texture, and flavor all have to be just right. Today's shrimp tacos were fantastic, but the salsa was exceptional. It's genuinely the best I've ever had. So glad I went out to eat with them great customer service as well!!! read more

Great service, great people, and great mariscos! The smell of fresh mariscos, and their warm smiles and friendly demeanor transported me back to my times in Cabo San Lucas. I'm always ecstatic to see their truck at my favorite local brewery... top tier! read more

The prices are decent and the food is delicious The cashier lady is kind, and gets your order quick unless they're busy but it's always been fast for me. They have a seating area if you choose to have your lunch there. Give it a try!
