Mr. Shrimp - Food Trucks Near Me - San Jose, California

This spot is where one of their food trucks is located, as in a (permanent?) set up. Lunch and dinner. I've been here twice and I can't wait to go back to try something new. On my first visit, I had their Al pastor burrito. Then I realized my friend got tacos, so the second visit, I got a shrimp taco (I mean, name sake so it's got to be good, right?). Well, yes, the shrimp taco was absolutely delicious. So was the Al pastor. Don't miss their orange sauce and guacamole sauce. I can't wait to bring my family here one of these days, since they do have a big tent with lots of tables and chairs. And if you catch one of their food trucks out somewhere, you should definitely stop and try their food. (I saw another in the lot, so they have at least one more). Note tho my friend who introduced me to this truck mentioned the food seems to be better when a certain lady is present. I can't attest to this yet, I think said lady was there both times I've been for lunch. read more

First time trying Mr. Shrimp, and overall it was a great experience. We ordered two empanadas de camarón, a tuna tostada, an al pastor burrito, and two shrimp tacos. Out of everything, our least favorite was the al pastor meat, but all of the seafood dishes were fresh and flavorful. They also have a mini salsa bar with a few select salsas. I really liked that they offered chili oil and rabanos. The food does take a little while to come out, but everything arrived hot and fresh, which made it worth the wait. Parking is available behind the restaurant, although it can be a little tricky to find at first. Overall, a really good spot for seafood, and I'd definitely come back. read more

The restaurant is small, but the thoughtful décor and layout give it a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere. Everything feels clean and well kept. The staff is friendly despite the wait to receive your food items. We ordered a variety of dishes and every single one was packed with flavor. The seafood was fresh, perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. The highlight of the meal had to be the micheladas! bold, refreshing, and easily some of the best I've had anywhere. Whether you're stopping by for a casual lunch or a fun evening out, this spot delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend for anyone who loves great seafood, good vibes, and a perfectly crafted michelada! read more

Mr. Shrimp has the best ahi tuna tostada in all of San Jose -- no exaggeration. The tuna is incredibly fresh, the flavors are perfectly balanced, and the crunch on that tostada hits every single time. It's one of those dishes you think about later because it's THAT good. On top of the amazing food, the service is always great. The staff is friendly, fast, and super welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. If you're a seafood lover or just want something delicious and refreshing, this spot is a must-try! read more

Mr. Shrimp is definitely top 3 favorite Mexican spots for me. It's a colorful little food truck walkimg distance from Japantown and the workers there are so friendly and accommodating. I ordered through the phone for pick up while I was walking my dog and ordered pastor, asada, and shrimp taco. My boyfriend got a shrimp burrito. When we got there, the guy gave us an extra mar y Tierra taco (asada and shrimp with cheese and avocado) and that ended up being my favorite! Food here is so fresh and flavorful and huge. My boyfriend's burrito was huge and he loved their Mexican rice. Would 100% recommend to everyone who loves Mexican food and seafood. read more

This place is located on a busy street. I didn't know initially, but there are some parking spaces behind the truck and some street parking across. They have lots of tables in their dining area as well as some heated lamps. The area was real toasty. They have a sauce bar in the back with all the fixings you may need. I came with a group of 9 people at night and I'm surprised there weren't more people. It was our first time so our friends who've visited before ordered for us. We ordered two plates of ceviche, 20 shrimp tacos, 8 carne asada tacos, and a carne asada quesadilla. Before I get into the food, it's imperative for everyone to know just how kind the owners and workers are. Their hospitality is unmatched, truly. The stars of the show are the grilled octopus platters and the shrimp tacos. They serve handmade flour tortillas which are so fluffy and delicious. The grilled octopus was so well cooked and I couldn't believe how soft it was. We were able to cut the octopus with a plastic knife! I believe they only serve these on the weekends too. Their shrimp tacos were so flavorful and had a bunch of shrimp inside. Their mariscos overall were so well made. read more

Absolutely phenomenal food truck and phenomenal service! Mr. shrimp is situated on an unassuming cross street, and even though it is a food truck, you can still have a lovely dining experience with the dining area that they have set up. It is well lit with string lights and covered by Pop-up tents. The man who took my order was extremely friendly, and he even gave me a sample of the different shrimp options while I was waiting. He brought the food out personally, and it was extremely fresh and very warm. It was a huge portion, well wrapped And easy to open. I got the shrimp burrito, and it was absolutely phenomenal. It had avocado, rice, beans, and lots of shrimp. It was a bit heavy on the beans, but delicious nonetheless. I will definitely be back. read more

Mr. Shrimp - Shrimp burrito - Food Trucks Near Me - San Jose, California

Recommended this place by my cousin. They operate out of a truck in what is probably a permanent spot. I will mostly recommend the Shrimp Emperador Tacos and Birria Tacos. The Vampiro tacos have both beef and shrimp, but the beef overpowered the shrimp in my opinion. The regular Cameron Tacos were too basic in comparison to the Emperador so I'd stick with the latter. I've had the tostada but it's so loaded (not in a bad way), the tostada was getting hard to stay crispy so I'd go for the ceviche next time. Their sauce bar has 3 different hot sauces including this deep spicy one that I really love. There's parking in the back or my husband and I have been lucky to get parking out front. I would come back for the grilled seafood they have on the weekend! Service - 4 / Ambiance - 3 / Food - 4 / Price - 3.5 read more

Please if you work in the food industry WEAR HAIRNET OR SIMPLY PUT YOUR HAIR UP! My husband found hair on his food. First and last time coming here. It was pricey for what we got. We got the aguachile negro. They give you a tiny container with the sauce. The rest is basically shrimp that has been soaked in lime water with no flavor just citrus water. Was expecting better based on the reviews. read more

Mr Shrimp is our favorite taco spot in San Jose. This is the go to spot we take friends when they visit & IT HITS EVERY TIME!!! We always get the shrimp tacos, quesobirria tacos, and ceviche mixto (with fish, shrimp, scallop, and octopus). The tortillas are all handmade and everything is well seasoned without being overly oily or greasy. I never order agua frescas because they're way too sweet but Mr Shrimp has a refreshing af jimaica agua Fresca that isn't that sweet and slaps!! Last time we came we got the grilled octopus - BEST OCTOPUS WE EVER HAD!! The octopus was so tender we could cut it with a plastic knife!!!! The last time we had octopus was at The GrandView restaurant and this was 100x better. Our other friend who just came back from Greece & had it said Mr. shrimp's was better. Jesus. I'm salivating thinking about it. Our group was quiet af eating it and THATS how you know how good it was. They only have octopus on the weekends so make sure you time your visit then haha. Sauces, radish, onion, lemon, cilantro are self serve next to the bar. The owner is so so awesome and so so friendly. The recipes are all his own (he said the quesabirria is his wife's and the tortillas are also his wife's recipe). Mr Shrimp has a place in my heart & it's always on our recommended places to go!! read more

They brought out the food for us and we added our own cilantro/onions/salsa across from the truck. Everything hit! The person at the window was so nice! I really wish I got his name.

Mr. Shrimp is a stationary food truck parked on a corner lot, and they're serving great shrimp tacos on homemade tortillas! You can call in your order, or order at the truck. They weren't busy yet at 6pm on a Friday, and my order took less than 10 minutes. I tried: [https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Ju27fgwRPbfwCkBBfhwLsg&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg] -Asada Taco ($3): Good, but needed a bit more sear/flavor. I would rather stick to their shrimp/seafood instead. -Taco Gobernader ($5?): I believe this was their shrimp taco with grilled peppers, and it was good, but I liked the regular shrimp taco more. [https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Rb9BfGWs3a2HGFRau8CJ5w&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg] -Shrimp Taco ($5): Yum- this was my favorite out of the tacos, and I loved the pieces of fresh shrimp and their sauce. Highly recommended! -Shrimp Quesabirria Taco ($5?): I was super excited to try a shrimp quesabirria taco, but sadly, it was just ok for me. The taco didn't have as crisp of an exterior as other birria tacos I've had, and the shrimp flavor got lost. Also, the birria was a tiny bit dry the day I went. I appreciated the fresh radish slices they included with the tacos. There were two salsas that I tried- the verde (green) and rojo (red). I liked the green more than the red, but I didn't need either salsa for the shrimp tacos since they had their own sauce. The homemade tortillas were great though, and soft on the inside with a nice crisp on the outside. Staff were really friendly and helpful. They had lots of covered outdoor patio seating available. If you're dining in, make sure to go to their salsa cart (large metal cart, it has their open hours on a whiteboard sitting on top). They had hand sanitizer at the ordering window. Parking was ok to find at the time, since there were some street parking spots available. read more

Went here again for their taco Tuesday deal. This time it's $1 tacos AND you must purchase a drink (I would recommend buying a horchata for $5).

That's it. I'm blowing Mr. Shrimp place up on Yelp, and there's nothing you can do to stop me. This is one of the rare reviews where if I could give it an extra star, I gladly would. Mr. Shrimp had always been on my radar. I've been following their Instagram page for months, but never once thought to order food there. That is, until one breezy Sunday evening where I suddenly thought, "Okay, I need to know what's up." I arrive to the truck and was immediately greeted with an amazing personality. We're talking above-and-beyond hospitality from the owner and the staff. After a light conversation, I got myself two quesabirria tacos ($4 each) with consomé. But because it was my first time here, the owner decided to add in a taco gobernador on the house. It's a secret menu item, something I would know about if I look deeper within their Instagram page. What a treat! The quesabirria tacos are absolutely delicious. Lately, I've been having such a disappointing streak with quesabirria tacos at other places, but these ones reinvigorated my love for them. They're crispy, flavorful, and the quite cheesy, and the meat is tender and plentiful. There was certainly a lot of thought put into the makeup of my tacos because it's got the right amount of everything, and this is not even to mention that there is a self-serve bar where you can apply your own dosage of cilantro, onions, sauces, and other ingredients! The consomé was great. I describe it as rich, savory, and not too salty. If my intuition is correct, you can taste the pasilla-ancho peppers since it has a subtle cocoa flavor. Onto the taco gobernador. It's got shrimp, shredded cabbage, diced peppers, and cheese, all sitting on a corn tortilla. About the same opinion of this as with the quesabirria tacos when it comes to how everything came together so well, as if the recipe was given plenty of thought and consideration. This pairs really well with the different negra sauces on the table. The best sauce to apply on the taco is the Culichi Negra®, which elevates seafood like butter on toast. Of course, the owner check in to see how the food was, and I got to hit them with the praises. This is a business that deserve to be recognized for its quality. Mr. Shrimp, I hope more people check you out because you truly have a lot to offer. read more

Ever since my gym moved downtown, I was always curiously driving by this truck. Then it got featured on the SanJoseFoos IG, so I thought I'd finally try it before they really got blown up. Funny story--a couple weeks ago I was looking for this truck and used the Yelp directions, and it took me to Con Sabor A Mexico, whom I love, but that's not who I was looking for. So Mr. Shrimp. I'm gonna be honest, despite three years of Spanish, when it came to the menu--I really didn't know what anything was, so I just decided to go with tacos... old reliable. I went with two tripas, two shrimp since I'm assuming that's their specialty, and two quesabirria. I don't know why I didn't choose to eat there, but I took them to a nearby plaza to chow down. Worth noting? It's cash or venmo. No credit here, which is a downer for me because one of my reasons to buy food so much is for credit card points... so it just feels like I lose more money. That and it's quite the wait. The reason for the wait though is it's all made to order. The tortillas tasted fresh, homemade even, so that's a big plus. The tripas was well cooked with the perfect amount of crisp to go with the chew and the trimmings and sauces were perfect. The quesabirria wasn't the best I had--the meat was well seasoned but the cheese left much to be desired... it's pretty comparable to Rosario's Tacos. As for the shrimp tacos, my to-go box was drenched in sauce so I'm guessing it got flipped during the drive but it was probably one of the best shrimp tacos I ever had. The problem is they use really small shrimp and it was a tad overcooked as it was more meaty than it was melt in your mouth, but the slaw and sauces they have in it are great. Mr. Shrimp is awesome and I'll definitely be back, but only when I have cash on me. Venmo is great but I don't wanna get into the habit of paying that way. read more
