    California Especial Taco
    Nadiyah S.

    The food looks fantastic in pictures but actually tastes so-so. If you've had legit Mexican seafood/mariscos you know the real thing if you've had seafood tacos in Mexico or San Diego. The food just didn't hit the perfect notes and everything was too salty and not as good as I've had at many other places. - California taco (3.5/5) - the grilled chile was the best part - Gobernador (3/5) - good but not enough chile - Aguachile Negro (2/5) decent

    We wanted tacos and we stumbled upon Seafood 1555's listing so we decided to give them a try. We followed the directions and arrived at a church parking lot. The interesting thing was that parking lot not only hosted Seafood 1555, but also a couple of other vendors. Upon arriving, I was greeted by Damian who helped me with my order. Since it was our first time, we wanted to try a broad number of items and sort of went a bit overboard. We ordered the Baja and grilled fish tacos, the Shrimp Ceviche, a couple of the Gobernador tacos, an Octopus taco, the Aguachile Negro, their flan, and a couple of the Agua Fresca Passion Fruit. The tacos were delicious, fresh, and very generously filled. After eating the tacos, we were pretty stuffed, but that didn't stop us from continue on to the ceviche and aguachile. Both the ceviche and aguachile had generous amounts of shrimp and octopus and most importantly, the right amount of acid. Delicious! For dessert we had the flan came which was topped with a blueberry/strawberry compote. The compote was tasty, but I thought the flan had too much of a gelatin texture. But my family liked it a lot. Overall, this was a great find for us and we will be returning soon.

    The Best Seafood Tacos & An Owner Who Cares! These are hands down the best seafood tacos around. I highly recommend the octopus and the California especial taco, but honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. If you live in the area and haven't tried them, you are truly missing out. The portion sizes are always generous, and it's incredibly affordable for the amazing quality you get. What really makes this place special, though, is the owner, Guillermo. He is one of the kindest people you'll meet, and you can tell he pours his heart into his cooking. He genuinely cares about his art and the customer experience, often asking for feedback to make sure everything is perfect. Also, a great tip for anyone with picky eaters: Guillermo makes a mean quesadilla that is a lifesaver for the kids. This is more than just a taco spot; it's a community gem. I can't recommend it enough!

    Holy Shnikes. Hidden gem alert! First of all, you would never believe that they have some of the best mariscos I've had, let alone the best in a parking lot. I came here on a Friday during LENT because, well, I could not eat meat. After my haircut I strolled into this parking lot that resembled a little "food truck congregation" and thought to myself, "I. must. try. everything" But settling in first, this little outdoor setup is quaint and still very inviting. Service was amazing as the chefs and server were super nice with a great attitude. The Aguachile Negro was amazing. Strong citrus flavors, Umami from the squid ink, and fresh seafood and ingredients. It honestly does NOT get any better than this. I'll be back to try their tacos, especially their California style "taco" and their grilled fish. I just need to to take someone with me, because we're going to grub!

    Seafood 1555 definitely a unique experience. Food truck parked in a cul de sac next to a park. U can take to to or sit at a few tables at the park and order for sit down. Workers super nice. Aguachiles was very good. Octopus and shrimp cooked perfectly. I really like the chips and guacamole. Guac fresh flavorful very good. Grilled fish tacos. Tortilla bomb. A little cheesy and saucy but overall very good. Salmon plate takes awhile to come but it was cooked perfectly. Shrimp was the star. Good char flavor. Cooked to perfection. This dish just needed tortilla. Excellent experience. I picked a super warm day to come. If it was a bit cooler be such a good experience. Need to come back and try the paella

    It is a little tricky to get here. The restaurant is basically in the parking lot, right next to the playground and the taco restaurant. Seafood 1555 is like a pop up. Very glad we found this place, as the food is so fresh and absolutely perfect! We had the spicy octopus tacos, grilled Baja tacos, and chips n guac. Spicy is hot! But very good also . Fridays is paella day!! Service is friendly and it's outdoors. If you get a little chilly, sit by the grill and you'll be good!

    Fish Grilled Taco

    It was a little hard to find, there is a small sign with an arrow. Place is located in a gated area next to a school playground. We came on a Sunday early afternoon, there were other vendors across the way. Seating is limited and outdoors. Cook is outside with you. Service is excellent and friendly. Menu is limited to only seafood. The seafood was very fresh. We got the aguachile, ceviche, and fish taco. Originally we order the Cali special taco but they ran out of the chile so we had to substitute it for the fish taco. It was an excellent swap nonetheless. My favorite was the aguachile, very lemony but not at all spicy. The ceviche was okay, rather bland but the crema was good on the tostada. The fish taco (came out as a single) was my second favorite, it was a nice refresher after all the shrimp. Their agua Fresca was very good and refreshing. At the time they had cantaloupe milk, passionfruit water, and guava water. We got one of each, my favorite was the guava

    Absolutely solid Mexican seafood. Service is friendly and excellent. Had no expectation as a friend wanted to try this place. They are located on the weekends. There a bunch of other food from Mexico there too. We ordered the acquachile negro which is like a black ink octopus ceviche. Looks odd but tasted fantastic, tons of chopped up octopus and shrimp. Little heat on this dish. We also ordered the combination ceviche which comes with two large oyster shooters. Also fantastic. Again, tons of shrimp and octopus too. We added a couple of Baja tacos (battered and grill) and shrimp tacos. The chef added some special sauce on it which dressed it up. If you want to go more traditional, ask for the sauce on side. The uniqueness of these tacos were the tortillas. Two tortillas with one grilled slightly crispy. Added different texture. Overall a pleasant dining experience. Will definitely be back.

    I would like to recommend this business to whom is looking for a great / healthy food at a fair price. Guillermo, the owner is a very good chef and he deserves his business to grow! I come to this place in several occasions and I am always pleased by the good quality food. Joe M.

    It's unfortunate but understandable that with what's happening in our current government that people are afraid to come out. There used to be a fantastic food court set it by individuals in front of this church and they have all disappeared; but one man wouldn't give up and he bought a food truck and now parks alone in the parking lot. The food is still amazing. I was here over a year ago and everything is still delicious. Brought two of my friends here and one of them said it was the best Taco he ever had. The aguachiles are worth it. He braises that octopus and it's so tender!!! I hope you give this young man your business!!!!!!

    paella with shrimp, octopus and clam
    Lori T.

    when we had shrimp tacos last week we were told there'd be paella this weekend so we had to return! the spice level was medium and oh so tasty. the octopus was soooo tender and perfectly grilled. the shrimp is always perfect. the clams (2 are served) were quite chewy and a bit of sand so hence the 4 stars. 6 blue corn tortillas accompanied the meal. service fantastic as always. there was a tamarind drink and passion fruit drink available for purchase. they're very good. it was a beautiful warm afternoon to sit and enjoy the dinner and walk around afterwards. the paella is $50, was plenty for two and enough for a big taco the next day

    We were in the area for errands with our toddlers and found this place online. We had low expectations but were so pleasantly surprised and blown away! We had the spicy shrimp, Baja fish and carne asada tacos and aguachile negro. Portions were generous, seasoning was flavorful, and the cook on the seafood was perfect - shrimp tasted fresh with a great snap and octopus was tender and not fishy smelling. I am very surprised that this quality of food came from a food truck, it definitely tasted like high end food - good quality ingredients and you can tell the chef is professionally skilled. Another plus - kids liked the Cajun fries and there's a small playground about 5-10 feet from the truck/dining area where they could run around while we enjoyed our meal. We will definitely be back many more times!

    Gobernador Taco
    Daph H.

    I'd give Seafood 1555 ten stars if I could! I saw the high ratings on Yelp and was a little skeptical that a tent in church parking lot could be that good. It is. The food here looks like it could be from some fancy restaurant. Chef Guillermo Damian specializes in Mexican seafood, with a menu offering ceviches to tacos to entrees like whole grilled fish and octopus. The gobernador taco was piled high with a generous portion of shrimp. The grilled fish taco was expertly cooked, yielding a fish that was almost creamy in texture. Big fat shrimp were featured in the aguachile rojo, along with octopus. Even though the food was served under a tent, it came in a nice decorative bowl. Service is super friendly too. I'm almost hesitant to post about Seafood 1555 because I don't want it to blow up and become super crowded. However, they deserve to be very successful, and I want other people to experience the joy of their food!

    It's in the parking lot in St. George's Episcopal Church. There are other food trucks there too.

For "Friends" fans, the winery is to us what the coffee shop was for the friends; the local hangout where we have become friends with the wonderful staff and other patrons who frequent the establishment. Sadly, we recently learned that this location will be closing. We are devastated and will miss the place and the amazing food and friends we have come to love. Since learning of the upcoming closure, we committed to visit daily until it closes. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the incredible chefs, servers, greeters, and staff for the past 2.5 years of sumptuous food, friendly smiles, and top notch service!!
