It's a food truck, not a sit down place; octopus ceviche is very very spicy (I wish their menu had signs for spice levels), shrimp empanadas were very delicious. Prices aren't posted, but we paid $40 for 3 dishes (shrimp empanadas and 2 ceviche tostadas), not cheap but certainly affordable given the cost of ingredients. read more

Mariscos el Pinguin - Tacos Governado & Ceviche - Food Trucks Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Such a good spot for mariscos! I really liked this mariscos truck. I had the ceviche de pescado, ceviche de camarón and a taco gobernador. I enjoyed everything but my favorite was the ceviche de camaron. It was so fresh and flavorful. They also give you a good amount of ceviche and add avocado. The service was great. I recommend getting the food to go since there's nowhere to really sit comfortably. I'm glad there's a place like this that I can go to when I get a craving for quality ceviche and mariscos. read more

First off, what is the world?! I'm a pregnant woman who's been craving good old Mariscos and El Pinguin hit the spot! Went with the family and we got Botana Fria Full Plate (On a single tostada is optional) Shrimp Quesadilla 3 shrimp tacos 3 fish tacos And after we were done, we had another order of shrimp quesadilla & more shrimp tacos. I ate the whole Botana like they were going out of business (extra tostadas are complimentary, just have to ask) We sat on the curb and enjoyed every bite. The ladies and chef were very nice and generous and we'll definitely be back, no doubt. read more

Had a fried fish taco. I thought it was a little pricey for one taco at $5, but it was not. The taco was amazing and very filling. It even had a bunch of avocado. I was not expecting such a delicious taco. The service was very fast which I wasn't expecting. There is no place to sit, so take that into consideration. read more

Best Shrimp ceviche in the area! My coworkers & I go often! Literally never misses. The ceviche is fresh & super delicious. They give you a lot for one tostada. The tostadas they use are so good! The habanero sauce is spicy but it is so damn good! The people are always super nice & really quick. This is a food truck but they have a place to put your food to eat. Overall highly recommend! read more

This is THE place for Mariscos. The ceviche is delicious!!!!! The service is great and fast too!

Best ceviche pescado around, this is how it's meant to be. Everything looked good. The Ostiones looked amazing. Lots of trucks on this street but this is the one for Mariscos read more

Oh my god. First time at this food truck and I am absolutely blown away at how delicious the food is. It's a food truck on a side street. They do seafood instead of the usual meats. I got a shrimp taco and two tostadas, one shrimp ceviche and one octopus. First of all, even in a to go order, the presentation was beautiful. Now for the ultimate test, the food. AMAZING. I will tell you right now this was better than many of the sit down, fancy places I have been to. Huge portions of shrimp ceviche and octopus for the tostadas. The shrimp taco had three huge shrimp that were lightly fried, with the perfect amount of cabbage and sauce. The tostadas came with a huge pile of tortillas and each at least 8 oz of both the ceviche and the octopus. Flavors are spot on and tasty. All topped with a generous serving of avocado. I am so happy and full right now. Tacos and tostadas can also be therapeutic you know. I'll be back for more of those tacos! read more

Great food love the color in the tacos felt refreshing and flavorful. The service was quick which helped out during my lunch break and the people there were very nice. The fish and shrimp tacos were delicious it was my second time eating at that spot and I can say that this is one of my new favorite places in Santa Ana for seafood. read more

Drove by this truck plenty of times. Finally opted to try it as I had cash in my pocket and I didn't want to get bummed by Jimenez nearby. The ladies inside were friendly and spoke English or Spanish. They take digital money, cards or cash. I think there's $1 fee if it's not cash. It's also right next to a bank with an atm if needed. The fish tacos were delicious. They were packaged well for walking back to the office. The thin lighter colored salsa was so hot but it had such a good flavor. First hit with citrus, then garlic, then heat a little heavy on the cabbage but I'd rather have more than not enough. $10/3. I want to try their Gabernador tacos for $11/3. No where to sit but there is a nice tall parking structure curb. And it's covered if it's raining. Definitely going back. Definitely recommended. read more

The food is really good real mexican seafood flavor Their service is great i like to call in my order and by the time i get there it's ready read more

Don't let the plain, shady-looking truck fool you -- the food is LEGIT. Tried it for the first time after seeing their Instagram page, and it was definitely worth it! Bought a cocteles camaron campechana and a botana mixta and they were delicious. I ordered the coctel first. It wasn't runny and just full of liquid like you get at a lot of places; this had a lot of pieces of food in it. Yes, there are crackers provided if you want to make the consistency even thicker. It was flavorful and very filling. I came back to grab a botana mixta at the recommendation of a regular of theirs. It came with tostadas on the side, but I didn't bother eating those. There were so many pieces of shrimp and the slices of avocado added to the mix. I think I overate between both items, but they were just too good to waste. I tried a little bit of the hot sauce they had, but it was just muy caliente and it took away from the food's flavor. The people running the truck were super nice and answered my questions. This is definitely a best-kept secret that I will be coming back to. read more

This spot exceeded my mariscos expectations ! All of their food is bomb asffff... I used to go to el y***** when I wanted bomb mariscos but they changed .

Our friend Kevin Espericueta showed us this spot, you probably know that guy too lol Everyone please please try this spot!!!! I usually order their botana caliente and a tostada de ceviche de camarón. So much flavor you can't stop saying hmmmmmm while you eat. The owner Estrella is sooo nice and welcoming . You can call ahead and place ur order. Also their tacos gobernador are DELICIOUS!!! they have these salsas that OMGG just thinking of it rn makes my mouth water!!! This is a lunch truck but dude don't let the looks fool you ! If I could I would give it 100 stars. read more

Definitely a hidden Gem. the lady here gets down with there seafood. I wish I had the funds to invest in a better location and better truck. I think they could be making more money if they had both things. I had a tostada de pescada and it was really fresh, el coctel was extremely tasty. The sauce was fire, hot but fire. Highly recommend. read more

The service was great but the fish tacos didn't have much flavor to me. Maybe I'll have to try other items on the menu. I also didn't see a menu on the truck like most other trucks have so I wasn't really sure what specific dishes they sold. read more
