Mariscos German Beyer - Shrimp tostada - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

I came here and the person was rude. I didnt bother ordering and left. I had been coming here off and on for 3 years and i only remember the owner there making the most delicious food there. I would tell my friends to come here if they were ever down. I came down the other day with my friend telling him this was going to be the best food you will ever have and was looking at the reviews and was like why are they getting those low rating. Well i found out that day. Listen to that pro tip in one of these messages. Only come when the owner is there. The guy there seems to hate the job, and it shows. Its ashame that i was hyping up this place to my friend and then this. If the owner is there pop on through otherwise slid on by. read more

If you're in this area and are looking for something cheap, fast and delicious, come grab a fish taco at this food truck. $2 fish tacos! You read that right. And they're pretty darn good too. Tortillas come out warm, great pico on top, tangy sauce on the tacos and flaky beer battered fish. My only complaint is that the fish to batter ratio was off. That batter is thickkkkk. But for $2, can't complain much. The employees are hard working and very friendly. They are generous with the salsas and lime wedges they give you for your tacos. Maybe I'll try something else on the menu next time I'm here! If you're in the area, check this place out. read more

Pro tip: go when the owner is there. The food is always 5 stars, service is friendly, awesome experience. The main reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because when the owner is not there, the younger guy is literally always super rude and acts like he doesn't want to be there and the food is sub par at best. I usually show up, if the owner is there, I order. If he's not, I go somewhere else. Other than that, the habanero salsa is amazing and so is the consume you get after ordering. read more

We headed to Mariscos German Beyer taco truck and ordered the following: seven chilies tacos, Baja fish tacos and crazy special tostada. The seven chilies fish taco appears simple but is a bold-flavored taco packed with plenty of heat. The combination is definitely unique and I like it very much. Baja fish tacos were quite delicious as well and came with ultra-fresh fish that were lightly battered and super crispy. The Crazy special tostada comes with a stack of tostada with a heaping of ceviche of fish, octopus, mussels and a couple oysters. It was a lot of food! We can tell how popular their ceviche is because nearly everyone ordered it. For me, I would definitely order the Seven chilis and Baja fish tacos next time. read more

One of my friends told me about this food truck and said that I should check it out, so I finally did! They are open until 7pm and there was a big sign saying that it was cash only, but they actually accept cards. I wish I knew that ahead of time, so that I wouldn't be charged a convenience fee for taking money out of the nearby ATM. I didn't know what some of the menu items were, since there was no explanation of what goes into it. A customer overheard me and offered to explain the menu, which helped me make my decision. I ended up getting the aquachile tostada and my fiance ordered the 7 chiles and surf and turf tacos. Too bad they don't offer any fresh drinks, just bottled ones, so we tried the coconut horchata one. It was an interesting combination, but I prefer the regular horchata by itself. While we were waiting for our order, we were given some consumme that was so rich and even had pieces of fish in it. The tacos were huge and my tostada looked so wonderful! Everything tasted great and my aguachile was extremely spicy and very flavorful. The tacos were absolutely delicious- I liked that they give you a lot of fixings/meat/seafood in it as well. The lady working there said you can always call ahead to place your order if you're in a time crunch, so that is really good to know! read more

Never eating here again!!! I had ordered some consomé. The day was windy, chilly, and cloudy, so it sounded good. Nice and warm with a little bit of spice. I have to be thankful the consomé was SUPER hot (temperature), and had to blow on it prior to eating. UNFORTUNATELY, I did have about 3-4 spoonfuls before i noticed there we roaches IN MY SOUP. THANKFULLY, i didn't finish the entire cup before finding them. But, it's still not something you'd want to find in your meal. My boyfriend went back to the location, to inform them of our find, and they blamed us for putting the roaches in the soup. Then they tried to say they were flies. No... Those are definitely roaches. They were asked to throw out the pot of soup, which they did, and there were a few more in the actual pot, mixed in with the vegetables. I have eaten here before (several times). The food is usually very good, but i'm never eating here again. Due to their inability to accept responsibility, take action, and blame a customer. If you wouldn't want your family to eat food with roaches or pests in it, why would it be ok to serve that to your customers? They have made my order incorrectly, a few times, but I was willing to overlook that. I usually walk up, place my order, then wait in my car. I usually have my meals to go. Since i live fairly close to this location. But now that i think about it, the truck, and covered area, are actually pretty dirty... I'm sure the truck is a permanent fixture, and kept outdoors. But it's still pretty dirty. Again, something i was willing to overlook, since the food was good, and seemed well made. Food is good... But eat here at your own risk!! read more

Mariscos German Beyer - Coctel de Camaron - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

Yeah, I would AVOID this place for sure. If you want to pay 29 dollars for a tostada and one fish taco be my guest. No prices on the menu.

The best fish tacos I've ever had. If you know me, you know I love tacos. And these were the best fish tacos I've ever had. Honestly, it's everything about the place. The fact that you're six miles from the border, at a little truck, with extremely friendly service, complimentary soup in a styrofoam cup, the fish is fresh and crispy and buttery and melts in your mouth, the salsas are sharp and cut the flavor so well, ... everything. No, it's not fancy, but tacos shouldn't be. Yes, if you don't speak Spanish, you might stumble in your ordering a bit (I had no idea the lady was offering free soup but I just said yes bc why not). But do yourself a favor and go get yourself a cheap, delicious fish taco. Note, being from the Bay Area, the place I typically go for fish tacos recently raised their prices from 4.55 to 5.25 a taco, which is absolutely ridiculous (but I still get 'em, what can I say), so the price really sealed the deal for me here. I don't remember exactly how much it was, but less than $2 for a taco. I miss it. read more

Mariscos German Beyer - FISH TACOS - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

We normally like going here, but today there seemed to be different attendants. We really like the owner, he's courteous and attentive. Maybe because of the holidays he has hired extra help. We we got there this morning the tables seemed like they had not been cleaned all day. We asked to have them cleaned and the lady there tried to offer me a dirty rag. I said no and asked it there was napkins. It's unfortunate because we really like this place. I don't think it would have taken much for her to clean the table, she was wearing cleaning gloves. All that to say I don't know if we will return. read more

I prefer my fish tacos "a la plancha" or cooked on a hot griddle, not battered and deep fried, and I was happy to learn that German Beyer offers them made this way as well. I ordered one for $4. The fish taco was a lot larger than I thought it was going to be and stuffed with a lot of fish, hence worth the $4. The fish taco came wrapped in two warm corn tortillas, which was a very good idea, because they did not hold back on the ingredients. The fish was piping hot, moist succulent, very well seasoned, and had a light brown exterior. I was very impressed with the fish's preparation. The shredded cabbage and tomatoes were crisp and fresh, and the light creamy sauce that came with the taco was just right. I added one of the a little of one of their red hot sauce and it had good flavor with a nice bite. The truck works out of a small parking lot with limited parking, so street parking is mostly required. Lines can get quite long during lunch and dinner peak hours, so keep that in mind. Hooray for grilled fish tacos! read more

As I said in my tip, it's a taco truck vato, not a food truck. They don't put their prices on the menu outside, so you have to guess. We ordered two fish tacos, a tostada de ceviche (camaron), and a shrimp quesadilla. It also came with two small cups of consume (fish soup) all for $15. The tostada was good and they piled so much on there I was able to make two tostadas with the extra tortilla they gave me. It's in the hood though, so it's a bit grimy around there, but what to expect. Bonus, it's next to a dulceria (mexican candy store) so you can go next door for dessert. read more

I would never come here to eat again. They dont know how to make good food, it seems like they got the stove figured out and that's it no seasoning no salt nothing. I would think they would make a little effort to hide the foul taste of old musty sea food but to each his own. In conclusion you should not waist your time coming to this piece of S#it they dare call a taco truck. read more

Mariscos German Beyer - Shrimp taco tasted like bad seafood sitting in the sun - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

Fast service, killer tacos. Know the atmosphere - this is a food truck with limited seating, standing room only. Menu is in Spanish and lady spoke limited English. Worth it. I just asked for the fish tacos, they were so cheap and delicious (two of them are 3 bucks!). They came out hot and fast. Probably the best fish tacos I've ever had - but I rarely indulge in fried ones. They come grilled as well. We ordered the tostadas pescado which I didn't even realize would be raw, ceviche style - but it was good. Complimentary cup of stew was so tasty! Driving by it is easy to miss. Your GPS will take you exactly there, it is hidden by the liquor store in front! Parking lot available. Drive down to Chula Vista on your trip to San Diego and get these tacos!!! read more

I had a chance to look over the reviews, and they all or almost say bad thing about this place. Where it is, the food, the things around it. The cleanliness around it. Well let's get one thing straight about this. It's a food truck. I know that not all placed are clean but your in the hood. What do you expect. If you are ok to eat out if a truck or on the side of a road. Then I have to say you are truly for down south. This place is truly a little spot for Mexico. My wife and my Family are for mexico. And the food hits the rite spot. Even down to give you a little fish soup. The Fish batter they used is the same. I came down here to try this place out and I will be coming back again and again. read more

This is the best fish taco in all of San Diego! They give you a nice big hunk of fish that is crispy crunchy and fresh! The batter is tasty, light, and fried to perfection. All of the other ingredients are delicious and not overbearing on the fish itself. I do not think that the tortillas are homemade however. I think that the shrimp Diablo taco is much better at TJ oyster. I was not a fan of the shrimp Diablo here. It was extremely spicy and they leave the poop chutes in the shrimp. I do like spicy but this was to the point that you could not taste anything else and I broke out in a immediate sweat. The owner Jorge is a real pleasure to meet! He saw me sweating out the diablo and came over concerned lol. He let me try another piece of fish with the seven chili spice marinade which I must say was amazing. If you do not want fried fish and you like spicy get the seven chili marinade! You can taste the complexity of each chili and it is quite extraordinary. He does have another truck fairly close on Hollister, so that's why there are two Marisco's German this was the original and it's hidden behind a liquor store. He did used to be in South Park years ago but his cousin has that truck now and it's not the same. read more

Rossi H rates Mariscos German as the second best fish taco in San Diego... Here is his review in a nutshell: Second best fish taco in San Diego. Second best fish taco in San Diego. Second best fish taco in San Diego. Second best fish taco in San Diego. Second best fish taco in San Diego... you get the point. My opionion: For the price of $1.25 each, this is a contender for fish taco of the year. Well, at least for the moment as I look at the empty container that once held three of those perfectly fried fishes that now call my belly home. It has been far too long, (2 weeks) since I treated myself to this Barrio Logan / Sherman Heights gem and this truck deserves a little more love on my end. Look at me love! The free cosome is a nice touch even of the hottest of days. Don't know what cosome is? You will have to make your way down to 22nd and Imperial to find out, friends. read more

Mariscos German Beyer - Consome - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

Probably a 4.5, kind of crazy for a truck, but yeah, they're that good. My wife will frequently drive by this taco truck, and we think to ourselves- this place has to be good. Not because it's a taco truck, but there are always tons of people waiting outside this truck waiting for their tacos. This weekend, we finally made the trip out to try the tacos. Yes, it's a taco truck, that happens to be parked in a dirt lot by a do it yourself car wash, but don't let that fool you, this place has got some wicked fish tacos. My sisters and brother in law were a bit skeptical, to they just started with 1 fish taco each, just to see how it was. I rocked 2 shrimp tacos and a fish taco, to start with. Yeah, they passed the test. The menu was all seafood stuff, so dont' come here expecting asada tacos or anything like that. They had "marlyn" tacos, fish, shrimp, ceviches, all the common seafood stuff you'd find at a seafood taco joint in Mexico. And of course they had plenty of salsas and limon for people to put on their tacos. Monday thru Fridays fish tacos are .99, all other tacos are roughly 1.50-2.75 depending on what you get in it. They also have burritos, which is the equivalent of eating about 4 tacos (in terms of filling). My sister got a fish burrito and was very happy with her order. If you want a really good review, check out my man Mikey P's review: http://www.yelp.com/biz/mariscos-german-san-diego#hrid:m-ZPhxczcIU2dHl2_F2ZzQ This truck is owned by the same people, and is top notch. If you're looking for some good fish tacos, this is your place to go. Come during the off peak meal hours, or you'll be waiting for a hot minute. read more

My kids have grown up eating Mariscos German. Being that we ate there so often they all knew my kids by name. It could have been that and the fact my ex father in law worked on their trucks. This gave me a little inside scoop. He said they had his stamp of approval. Meaning the truck was clean and they handled their seafood properly. The boy would always get shrimp cocktails because he is spoiled like that. The girl sticks to fish tacos because she isn't seafood adventurous. I ate EVERYTHING and loved it. Clean, cheap and good that is my kind of food! read more

I read an article the other day from a national media outlet saying this was the best fish taco in san diego. I've included the link here: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5607927 After reading that, I had to give it a try. Especially with some of the other places on the list ranked below. I wasn't disappointed one bit Its located right off the 905 at Beyer Blvd in a parking lot by a liquor store. I ordered 3 fish tacos, have to say I was impressed. Perfect amount of everything, cooked all the way through, just the way I would make it myself if I was able to make it that good. Ive had some good fish tacos, but in no way do i consider myself the expert to say "its the best." I will say it was damn good and ill be going back and exploring some more of the many delicious looking options I saw today. Keep it up read more

Mariscos German Beyer - Fish and Shrimp Tacos - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

My search for the best fish taco continues.... First of all, if you are going to complain about cleanliness or the looks of the truck, you shouldn't be eating at a food truck. They are held to the same standards as restaurants, and I guarantee that truck is probably cleaner than your own kitchen! Anyhow, I love fish tacos (Baja style only - none of that grilled crap!). I have a favorite place in San Diego, but continually look for other options. I had heard so many great things about Mariscos German that I had to try it. My friends live nearby, so it wasn't a long drive (if you aren't nearby, it will be far, and in my opinion, not worth the drive). It's hard to complain when it's only $1.25 per taco. And I really don't have any complaints - my tacos were good, just not great. I wasn't immediately WOWED. There just wasn't a ton of flavor, although everything was as it should be. They will give you a cup of their fish soup to enjoy while you wait. This isn't my thing, so I passed. But my friend really enjoyed it. It probably took about 10 minutes for our food, which we didn't mind. My friend's husband ordered one of their specialty tacos, which was all seafood. It was HUGE and had tons of "meat." He really enjoyed it. I think this taco was around $4 or so, and it was a deal. The neighborhood didn't bother me at all. Although it was a bit uncomfortable that there were 2 homeless Gentlemen posted up out front, begging for food. Another customer bought them each a taco, which they appreciated. Overall, a nice hidden gem. Just not mind blowing. read more

Mariscos German Beyer - Special seafood tostada - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

After discussing the high quality of Mariscos at El Mazateño in Tijuana with a friend recently, I was referred to a food truck behind a liquor store off of Beyer Avenue and the 905 freeway in Otay Mesa. He described it as "the best seafood that I've ever had". He wasn't kidding. On my first trip, I ordered the Marlon taco, a shrimp taco and a fish taco. Each taco had a huge portion of fish inside and I could tell the seafood was really fresh. The Marlon taco was especially outstanding... With cheese melted around the fish... Bell peppers, celery and seasoning.. I was so hungry and the tacos so delicious that I forgot to take pictures before I tore through it. Short of going into Tijuana for fish tacos, this is my new go-to place in San Diego. Thankfully, it is close to work. No more fast food or Subway sandwiches on the way into work for me! Mariscos El German is LEGIT. read more
