    Compré por la tarde y el cajero aventó los aderezos y se abrieron todo sobre mi pedido sentí que lo hizo de mala gana por qué me los iba a entregar en la mano y le pedí de favor que si los podía guardar adentro de la bolsa y ahí el resultado cuando haces las cosas de mala gana ! La comida muy rica pero el cajero pésimo servicio !

    This is the best food truck in Santa Ana, California. This is our favorite seafood spot. Located off Main Street in Downtown Santa Ana. It is always packed, but the food comes out fast. We got the Garlic Shrimp and Shrimp and Fries today. The food was really good. We normally get the fish tacos and shrimp ceviche or we get the shrimp cocktail which is outstanding. Look at my photos and you can see this is a popular spot. There were 2 trucks located 200 feet apart. One busy and one ....... Please remember it is cash only, no cards.

    Bad service from kitchen and bad customer support I ask 3 times not to make my food spicy made me wait there for 20 minutes and they made the first spicy. I called them and they denied it. I'm posting a picture so the kitchen people can see the mistake and do not call customers liars

    Multiple pieces of shrimp not cleaned...

    Been coming here for YEARS and never had a problem. Sad to see they can't even clean shrimp properly.

    Shrimp empanadas, ostiones preparadas, fish ceviche.

    Straight to business, the absolute best seafood truck I've been to. Let's rephrase that. The best seafood I've had this side of the border! My visits consist of $80 on me alone . I always order agua chiles, scallops, and a fish ceviche tostada to start with. I've been coming to this truck for over 15 years! Yeah it's a food truck and it's outdoor, standing room only. But these dudes are always in a good mood! Friendly service and attitudes are the normal here! I could really keep going and write 2 pages but it's nothing to what you'll taste yourself. Here's to 15 more years of great seafood!

    Bomb  definitely coming back!

    Fish tacos bomb Definitely coming back! First time coming here & it was so worth it! Also service was great.

    My top spot for all things shrimp among the many great taco trucks in Santa Ana - the mecca of Mexican food in Orange County. After trying two of their signature tacos, I would easily put the Taco Al Governador (Shrimp and Cheese) on my short list of best shrimp tacos in town. The Taco Al Governador ($3) is served with warm, melted cheese layered on plump, juicy shrimp and grilled inside handmade tortillas that are pan-fried, then flatten in shape much like a quesadilla - accompanied with a spicy salsa verde with shredded cabbage and diced tomatoes on the side. Simple, delicious, perfect! The Taco de Marlin ($3), also served with melted cheese and prepared in the same fashion as the al governador. In my opinion, it is much better than the famed marlin taco served at Mariscos Mocorito in Orange. Just cooked, seasoned fish and warm, melted cheese on a soft, pan-fried, handmade tortilla - nothing else. Its combination of simplicity, textures and flavors cannot be beat. Taco Los Corales ($3), the Baja style fish taco. Fried battered fish on a soft tortilla shell, topped with shredded cabbage, tomatoes, light crema. Good but the batter mix was not as flaky nor was the fish as fresh as I would have hoped. The shrimp is clearly the best option. Taco Durango de Camaron ($3), if you like your taco on a deep fried, hard corn tortilla shell, this is the option for you. Seasoned, mashed shrimp inside a hard shell, topped with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes and a light swirl of crema. Simple, crunchy goodness. Tostada Camaron Cocido y Pulpo ($7), loads of freshly cooked shrimp and sliced octopus on two pieces of hard shelled, corn tortillas. Topped with diced tomatoes, cucumbers and onions. I loved to plump, surprising freshness of the two main ingredients and the portions. Usually a good option to test how fresh the seafood is. Nice and hearty here, worth the $7. Empanada ($2.50) Mashed shrimp filled inside a golden, crisp breaded shell. Served with a side of tartar sauce. Delicious! Shrimp is definitely their specialty but Los Corales also has a full-scale menu found at most sit-down mariscos restaurants, including fresh oysters, ceviche, ensaladas (salads), empanadas, shrimp cocktails, tostadas, tacos and Cajun style spicy shrimp bolsas (bag of cooked shrimp, corn and potato) ranging from mild to very spicy. They even serve beer and appear to make a mean Michelada. They offer chicken nuggets and fries, the usual non-seafood option found at many Mariscos location. NOTE: great service too?!?! Yelper Julie A. must have a thing for impatient, stoic looking food Nazis like the guy that always seem to handle the orders and the money. Be prepared to know what you want to order, expect an attitude and ask little questions. Nonetheless, some of the best shrimp tacos in town. The Taco Al Governador is a must-try! Closes at 7pm. CASH ONLY.

    Shrimp Ceviche Tostada
    Antoni G.

    I love this place! The food is delicious and always fresh. I always get their shrimp ceviche tostada, tacos Gobernador, a fish taco, and half an order of shrimp empanadas. Their service is on point. Recommend!!

    Great fish tacos!
    Danny S.

    I made up my own taco crawl and started with this place. Arrived a tad before 7 (when they close) and there is still a line. I ordered fish tacos and shrimp and cheese tacos. No prices to be found. Tacos are $4 or 3 for $11. The fish tacos were fantastic! There are 4-5 pieces are perfectly battered and fried fish. It's on a single layer of tortilla (corn). Nice slaw. Perfect with their green salsa. My favorite was the shrimp and cheese. Pretty much a fried shrimp quesadilla. Nice and crispy on the outside. Once again, perfect with the salsa. Only thing was the wait time. About 20 minutes of cooking time. I would return!

The photos caught our eye, but they don't even do justice to the actual experience. The modest facade completely hides the gem buried within; the moment you step through the doors, you are transported into a beautiful, vibrant atmosphere. Despite arriving just before 7:00 PM on a busy Saturday night, we were seated incredibly fast. We had the absolute pleasure of being served by Karla (with a 'K'). Her enthusiasm, attentiveness, and deep knowledge of the menu were top-notch--truly a model for how the entire service industry should operate. As for the food? Out of this world. From the presentation to the flavor, the attention to detail is flawless. It is completely clear that Rosa Madera was created by someone with immense vision and heart, and they've managed to find a staff that shares that exact same passion. We are so hooked that we will absolutely be making the trip back from San Diego with the sole purpose of eating here again. In the meantime, my friends and family are going to get sick of me over the next few days, because I refuse to shut up about this place!

    We recently relocated from Garden Grove to the Santa Ana/Fountain Valley area and have been on the…read morehunt for a Mexican restaurant to fill the void left by our beloved spot in Los Alamitos. Thanks to Restaurant Week, we stumbled upon this gem, and we are so grateful. The hospitality alone would earn five stars. But then came the food. The tacos? Absolutely exceptional. The steak was tender and flavorful in a way that reminded me of eating throughout Mexico, you could actually taste the meat. A light, gentle pickle of vegetables on top, minimal cheese, nothing heavy or greasy. These are not the American-style tacos drowning in a pound of melted cheese. These are the real thing. The beans were lovely, the rice was solid, and my passion fruit winearita drink was genuinely a treat. Restaurant Week gave us the perfect low-pressure reason to try somewhere new, and we walked out with a new favorite. We'll be back for lunch. We'll be back for dinner. And yes, Taco Tuesday, we'll absolutely be back for that.

    Honestly, I have no idea how this restaurant has nearly 5 stars…read more We arrived around 6 PM with a party of 6 adults and 3 toddlers, and we didn't receive our food until almost 8 PM. To make matters worse, one of our meals was completely forgotten. The service was extremely slow throughout the entire visit. Every time we needed something, whether it was a refill, an update, or assistance, the wait felt excessive. The restaurant may have potential because the food itself was flavorful, but it seemed like they were either understaffed or unprepared for the number of customers they had. Another disappointment was the drink selection. We were told they don't have a liquor license, so hard alcohol isn't available. Their sodas were canned, and when we asked for juice for the kids, they told us they were completely out. As for the atmosphere, the restaurant is on the smaller side and felt more like a converted house than a traditional restaurant, complete with a fireplace and television in the dining area. The food had good flavor, which is the only reason I'm giving more than one star. Unfortunately, the long wait times, missing meal, lack of drink options, and poor service made the overall experience disappointing.

I arrived at 8:21 PM and was told that I couldn't order food or sit down to eat because they were already closed. I was confused because both Yelp and the sign literally posted outside the front door say they close at 9:00 PM. When I pointed that out, I was repeatedly told, "No, we close at 8." That simply doesn't make sense when your own posted business hours say otherwise. I completely understand that a kitchen may close 30 minutes before the restaurant itself closes. Had someone simply told me, "Sorry, we decided to close the kitchen early tonight," I honestly wouldn't have cared and probably wouldn't even be writing this review. Things happen. What bothered me was being repeatedly told that the restaurant closes at 8 PM when the sign directly outside says 9 PM. It felt less like a misunderstanding and more like I was being given an explanation that clearly didn't match the posted hours. If the restaurant actually closes at 8 PM, then the hours posted outside and online need to be updated. If the restaurant closes at 9 PM and the kitchen normally closes at 8:30, then I would have appreciated someone simply being upfront that they were closing early tonight. I've been a regular customer and have generally enjoyed coming here, so this was disappointing. Customers are usually much more understanding when you're simply honest with them rather than giving them an explanation that directly contradicts what's posted on your own front door.
