    "El número uno" tastes amazing it is spicy and flavorful
    Chelsea L.

    As soon as you walk by you can smell the delicious food. The service was amazing we were greeted and helped right away. Definitely recommend this place if you're in the mood for some fresh seafood so many options to choose from.

    Craving a shrimp cocktail decided to order from this local food truck. Placed a phone order and it was ready once I arrived. Quality is good, i stick to the basic and prices probably reasonable. I tried searching for pricing on yelp and didn't find any. Hope these pics help. They accept cash/Zelle.

    Ceviche cocido

    This truck is a real treat. I don't get it often because it's expensive, but it's well priced for the freshness and the portions, like I said, it's a treat, and when I treat myself, it's usually towards the end of a daily constitutional around the park. I've tried the Cali, the Malibu, I just got my daughter some cooked ceviche without chile, she loves it. The viente (that's wind, right?) has mangos, scallops, avocado, onion, and heat! The flavors really burst with citrus and habanero, it's enticing. If you're ever near Earvin Magic Johnson, get you some, there's a wide variety of choices and it's high quality stuff, turn you romantic.

    My Favorite Place For Mariscos They Have The Best Plates, Best Cocteles, Best Tostadas, Best Part About Everything, It's Always Fresh. They Are Always Super Friendly And Polite Upon Ordering. They Are Always Fast When I Order My Food, The Wait Time Is Amazing. My Go To Order For Two People Is El Padrino: Raw Shrimp Cooked In Lemon With Spicy Aguachile And Mango. El Malibu And The Campechena Are Amazing Too. They Serve In Large Portions. If You Are Ever In The Area You Have To Give Mariscos El Patron A Try, You Won't Be Dissapointed.

    Taco gobernador
    Karla M.

    It sucks that food trucks don't always get enough love because this spot is a really good choice. I do have to admit that it was a little pricey but it was also worth it because they are very generous with their seafood portions. I ordered the taco gobernador and the ceviche de camarones. The taco gobernador was about half a cup of fried shrimp on top of two grilled tortillas stuffed with mozzarella cheese. The tortillas were cooked perfectly where they weren't hard from being overcooked but they also weren't flaky from being undercooked. The cheese definitely goes really well with the well seasoned shrimp. At first I thought the ceviche was slightly "undercooked" for my liking since I could see a little gray on the inside of the shrimp but I left it in the fridge for a few hours and my second round was amazing. At first glance I thought there were too many red onions but they were actually pretty delicious with the lime/salt and not overwhelming. The shrimp was cut into manageable pieces. The portion size was good for $15 (they do have a larger plate for $30) and is enough to share with one other people as an appetizer/snack. They give you a pack of 10 tostadas (which was more than sufficient) to make some ceviche tostadas on your own. If you're not into seafood they did have a food truck right next to it, same company, but this one was tacos made from land animal meat (beef, chicken, pork) so plenty of options.

It has three different areas where you can order different food when you arrive. You will see the food truck. Go there and order any soup, ceviche tostada, any heavy food. I order ceviche and oh boy! this is the best ceviche I have ever tried for 2026!! The price was another thing that really surprised me since when you bought a bigger size of ceviche can go up to more than $60 to my surprise this place give me a very good deal which I do appreciate. This place has been in my head the whole week, servers are very kind patience and give you a lot of options so you can get what you want, after ordering my ceviche I went inside the restaurant now which is the building and they have one section of only ice cream lollipops oh my God they have three times more options than any other places. If you go around where the tables are outside, you will see a little window where you can order any kind of Agua fresca and other snack snack. please go and visit this restaurant. This is a very unique Mexican flavor restaurant You will be amazed by the variety and the taste of the food. they have plenty of parking lot, but I've heard that they can run out of parking lot since a lot of people can come in and out but most people do order and takeout since this Restaurant do not have an AC.

The staff moves fast, smiles hard, and somehow remembers your order better than you do. Blink too slow and your order will pass you up. It's chaotic in the best "my family is loud but loving" way. This spot is open till 2am on Friday and Saturday. Imagine a place that says, "We're here to feed you, not impress you with mood lighting." It's bright, lively, and filled with the soundtrack of sizzling food, and orders constantly being called. The décor is simple, clean but the vibe is pure Gardena comfort, no pretension, just flavor and vibes. If you have those late night cravings for street food? Oh, it's dangerous. The kind of good where you take one bite and immediately start tearing into the rest with such joy and comfort. Every dish tastes like it was made by someone who refuses to let you leave hungry. The flavors slap, the portions are generous, and the tortillas taste like they were handcrafted by angels who specialize in carbs. Oh, how could I not talk about the drinks and desserts, this is something you need to see for yourself, words cannot describe the things they have for that sweet tooth craving. Mmmm, pure heaven!

I can not wait to try the chicken tenders in several of the sauces. The establishment appears to be more of a place of "order your food and go". The cook knew our order off the top of his head.

My review is based on the food truck. It was my son's birthday. He was allowed to chose anything he wanted for dinner. Any price point... anything. Well i had seen this on Instagram and shared it with him two weeks prior. At first he wanted to go to Nobu or there were a few other high end options, but that is not his style honestly. Luckily, he remembered the post that I shared. He wanted to go here. Well, buckle up kids, we are going on a field trip! We left work/schools early and took a drive to Compton. When our navigation said we had arrived it suggested we park in the lot across from the library. Ok. There directly in front of the library was the food truck. There was a small line, so that was ideal. Not a long wait. My other smaller human and i went to wash their hands in the library. When i came out he had ordered the hungry man or something. It was more than enough for us. The oxtail was good. The ribs were good. The chicken was good. The cornbread was yummy. Just not over the moon for the greens... and i loooove collard greens. But that's ok. We went for the meats. They were out of the dinosaur ribs, so maybe if we go early enough next time, we can try those. We took it across the street to the park and ate and that was enough time for the small one to also play to get energy out before we headed home. The drive home was long, now that rush hour traffic had started. But none of us complained, because the meal was worth it.

When I've ordered from El Chiapas Tacos in the past, it was an orange colored food truck. This time around, it was a blue colored one with a focus on seafood.
