    TACOS GOVERNADOR
    Frank P.

    Came back again didn't realize I forgot to take a picture until I was writing this review! Food is still amazing and cheesy the service was great my son spilled his drink and they replaced it! The seating is good for a food truck the sun hits hard but the ceviche kept me going! Wait time is still a little long but they make it fresh so I understand.

    Crispy Fish tacos
    Yeah, Let's Eat This ..

    The fourth of our 5 stops on our Taco Tour, we ventured out to find this food truck and our travels were rewarded with hot and crispy fish tacos that were topped with fresh condiments and with a wedge of lime. A great treat on a hot day or at the end of a long and exhausting drive, Mariscos VIP is worth it without a doubt. Be sure to keep an eye out in Santa Ana when you're in the mood for a truly delicious and fresh Fish taco!

    Ceviche de pescado! Mmmmlicious!
    Carlos S.

    I'm going to rate this as what it is-a food truck. This is not gourmet dinning. When I eat at a food truck I have no expectations for great, friendly service with smiles etc. Although that's a plus, I'm pretty much interested in the way the food tastes! This is my second time here. 1st visit I had a coctel de camarón! It has great! Perfect coctel. Today I had ceviche de pescado. Again, great choice. I'm going HG to continue coming here. The food is amazing! The service is fast. Bring cash because it is cash only. 5 stars!

    Aguachiles! Spicy but so delicious
    Anel S.

    I love Mariscos! I've been too many mariscos restaurants all over oc. I never tried food truck mariscos before, but decided to give this one a shot. My gawd!! I'm so glad I did, this place have some delicious food for great prices! Not just that they give you good portions of food. I love this place, I've tried the aguachiles and fish tacos and both are so bomb ! I highly recommend it

The cold ice cream was a great contrast to the warm, crispy churro! You get five churros with a generous portion of ice cream for a little over $10, so this was a good deal too! Service: The employees were nice, and the food came out really fast. Ambiance: There's a clean bathroom and many tables to sit at. Highly recommend parking at a nearby parking structure for a shopping complex and walking over! Please try this delicious place with your friends!

    This place should probably have two separate businesses on Yelp for review since they currently…read morehave a store front near 4th st market but the Yelp page was also for their food truck. The store front is easy to find as they have a large visible sign showing "CHURROS" near the street. The items can get pricey, as I recently picked up just an ice cream with churros and bag of churros which ended up at $20. There's a $1 charge on credit cards which also seems a bit like charging the customer on any business transaction. The location is a decent size so it could definitely fit groups and such. Unfortunately my visit did not really go well, as after ordering and receiving a buzzer to let us know when the order is complete, we waited for over 10 minutes to have other customers place orders after us and receive their orders before our buzzer went off. Eventually, one of the associates noticed we had been waiting for a while and came to us to ask if we had placed an order already. For some reason, the buzzer was not programmed to our order, and I ended up asking the cashier for my receipt to confirm that my order was placed. This was frustrating as we had originally entered the store as the only guests and 3 other parties had entered the store after us and received their orders before us. Fortunately, the associates closest to us near the pick up order section noticed that we had been waiting for an extended period of time and came out to ask what we had ordered to help us make our missing order. I have no idea how our order was missed but it was not a great experience to wait in a store with no AC (only the front doors propped open for ventilation) and there was no real apology for the mishap. However, we're very appreciative of some of the staff members noticing that we had been patiently waiting for our order.

    I only had one taco from here, but it was delicious! This taco truck was open late on a weekend…read morenight at around 1am-2am at the time I visited. I ordered the Al Pastor taco and it was tasty. Meaty, flavorful, and cooked well. The fresh veggie toppings and salsas were also great compliments as well. The horchata was a standard, good horchata. It was sweet and I liked how it wasn't grainy. They also have some covered seating and tables in front of the truck with napkins to share per table. For parking, it would be street parking around the truck. If I didn't live so far away, I would come back here every so often!

I will say the truck itself is placed at a pretty dark corner of the street with some transient people nearby. Just an observation, nothing to do with the food or service. The service was fast and everything went smoothly when ordering, this place takes card if you don't have any cash. I ordered 1 al pastor burrito, 3 lengue tacos, 1 pastor taco, 2 tripas, and 2 cabeza. The order took about 10 minutes to complete even though I was the only customer. The self service bar had everything you needed, 4 separate sauces, cilantro, onion, radish, cucumber, limes, and pickled onions, jalapenos, and habaneros. I took it to go to eat at home and after the 10 minute drive and walk into my apartment everything was still super hot and smelt amazing. The pastor is some of the best I've had in a while, super flavorful and juicy. The lengue was tender, the cabeza almost had a tallow flavor, and the tripas was crispy. All excellent choices in my book. The sauces were spicy, however, in a blind taste test I don't think I could distinguish between any of them. Visually they were distinct but the flavor profiles were all very similar. Still good salsas overall, but if you're a diehard verde vs roja kinda person there really wasn't a difference in my opinion. Definitely worth trying out, hard to stand out too much with the multitude of taco shops/trucks around, but a good choice overall. Al Pastor has to be the highlight of the meat choices. Also Tuesday they offer 1.50 on a select choice of meats. For 1 burrito and 8 tacos my order came out to a little over 33 with tax, good bang for your buck.

It looks like it could get pretty busy, but the line was very efficient and the people are very friendly here. The vibe here is definitely a fun mix of people looking for delicious tacos as well as some folks getting off of work and just trying to get a convenient meal on the way home. I think they're most known for their "battleship" taco, but during my visit I end up getting the surtido taco. This taco was a great mix that had a bunch of different textures and flavors from the different cuts, while being topped with sautéed onion and cactus. I will definitely have to order the battleship taco it next time I'm here. I came here later at night, so the market was already closed and there was plenty of parking around.

I was honestly surprised by the 2.9-star rating because the photos made the food look delicious, but I decided to give it a try anyway. Overall, I thought it was great. The meat was really good, very flavorful without being over-seasoned or overly salty. I love hibachi-style food, but a lot of places tend to go heavy on the soy sauce and other seasonings, which can make everything taste extremely salty. That wasn't the case here at all. The flavors were well balanced, and nothing tasted salty or overpowering. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, they were soft but not mushy and I liked that they used large pieces of broccoli instead of tiny chopped bits. The only thing I didn't love was the $6 upcharge for fried rice. All of the bowls and plates come with white rice by default, and while the base price of the bowls was fair enough that I still went ahead and ordered the fried rice, the price difference feels a little steep. It seems like they could charge a couple dollars more for the bowls and a couple dollars less for the fried rice instead, because a $6 increase just to put the rice on the grill and add some sauce feels a bit out of line. Other than that, though, the Service was fast and friendly, the food itself was really solid and definitely satisfied my hibachi craving. I'd definitely go back!
