    Love the name!

    Hit the food truck at the San Jose Cinco de Mayo car show. Super fast and hot. Excellent presentation and absolutely delicious. I could eat these seven days a week. Tortilla had cheese grilled on it. Yum. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. The chorizo mixed with shrimp cilantro and onions was just out of this world. Service was friendly, fast and pleasant. The food truck was clean and look nice.

    Super Chicken Quesadilla

    Finally got to try Shrimp'n Ain't Eazy after seeing it all over my feed! I was craving something cheesy so I went for the Super Chicken Quesadilla and it definitely satisfied all my cravings. Silly enough to say, I'm not a huge seafood person or a fan of shrimp but my quesadilla was loaded with shrimp and I enjoyed it. They definitely gave a generous amount of both well seasoned shrimp and chicken. In every bite, the cheese was just oozing out and I got the best of both worlds. I loved the melty cheese pull. The sauces were delicious and well paired with the quesadilla as well. The portion was huge and well worth the price. There was a long line since this food truck is quite popular but service is quick and efficient. My food was ready in less than 10 minutes and came out piping hot. Shrimp'n Ain't Eazy lives up to the hype and this food truck is a must try!

    I first found out about Shrimp'n Ain't Eazy through the weekly summer night markets at Gordon Biersch Brewery, where they serve from their food truck. We tried their Chop Cheese and Cheese Steak, both of which are incredibly juicy, flavorful, and filling. Even a few shrimp skeptics in the group we went with loved both of these, since the shrimp was fresh and seasoned well. Orders come out piping hot and relatively quickly (10-20 minutes) even though there are always long lines for their truck. Note that one order of either the Chop Cheese or Cheese Steak is enough for 2 people to share. Both of these orders were sliced in half for more convenient sharing as well.

    Just pull up, you won't be disappointed !! I was really excited to try the ramen after seeing one of their instagram videos. Since they didn't have it this time around we decided to order three different things from the menu to try anyway. The vampiro (taco) is phenomenal. Flavorful and fresh. The burger was great too, a bit much for me but still delicious. Chef is generous with size portions for the price. The individual who took our order was nice & chill. I really enjoy stumbling across places like this. I can't wait to share with friends. It's was bomb.

    Big papi

    Tried this at the sharks game on Saturday night. We ordered the big papi and a soft drink. Took a while for the order to be ready but was worth the wait. Really good seasoning, sauce and the shrimps were also great. With the cheese and the bacon easily enough for two to share. Would definitely also give the food truck a try.

    Freaking adore these dudes. So friendly, courteous and chil AF! Love that they do pop up locations and tell you way in advance via spcial media. You get all the flavor in anything you order, that is definitely not a category they're lacking in. Vampire tacos per usual, ordered their chopped cheese (which is massive, but you can also bring your own fries), their hotboy was good, too, and their himbatchi plate was good too! The combo with shrimp, chorizo, meats is smackin! I do wish you can just order the shrimp for protein if anything, that was fire!

    Chopped cheese

    Grabbed dinner at this food truck during Berryessa Night Market's "Say Cheese! Street Feast" this past Friday. About 8-10 food vendors selling creative, melty gooey menu items, including birria grilled cheese and cheesy loaded baked potatoes. Got the chopped cheese sandwich from Shrimp'n Ain't Eazy, a delicious sub filled with a mix of plump and juicy shrimp, crumbled beef patty, veggies, yummy seasoning, and lots of stretchy cheesy goodness. Truly a unique and tasty concoction, so massive it has to be served wrapped in foil, then placed inside a food container. I was definitely impressed and satisfied with the chopped cheese, the most expensive item on this food truck's menu. Yet it's the crabby taco they sold out of less than 2 hours into the event... I see that as a good sign, multiple popular dishes, gotta try that next time. Also, efficient service, hardly any waits, and plenty of seating at Garden at the Flea. It was an awesome cheese fest, with live music entertainment and a carefree atmosphere. But this food truck alone was worth the trip out.

    Chopped Cheese Burrito

    Thank God for food trucks. At my job we usually have different food trucks on Tuesdays and Shrimp'n Ain't Eazy pulled up today. Let me tell you something, everything was great from the staff to the food to the wait time. Ordered the Vampiro taco with chorizo and cheese and that was a fantastic starter. Perfect crunch, the chorizo had my mouth watering and the shrimp was great. That was just a little appetizer before I dived into the Chopped Cheese Burrito. Awwwww man this thing was THICCC!!! I could only eat half and had to save the rest for later. Absolutely DELICIOUS Burrito, one of the best I've ever had. I can't wait to try some more items on my next visit. Thank you guys for coming to the campus

    Vampiro tacos....flavorful and satisfying
    K B.

    We went to a pop up off of Tully Road in San Jose. We ordered the three Vampiro tacos for our drive back to Monterey. The tacos were large, crunchy and stuffed with flavorful chorizo, massive shrimp, pickled onions, light cheese, cilantro and a beautifully spicy salsa on the side! Every bite was delicious and everything you can ask for in a shrimp taco. We were very satisfied and happy we came. Next time we hope to try their other dishes. Gian, the owner, is awesome and clearly has a pulse on Bay Area food tastes and flavor. I heard they were also featured on Check Please! That's quite a feat and speaks for itself. Can't wait to seek them out at their next pop up event!

    Chopped cheese

    Finally getting around to do this review on one of my favorite food trucks here in my hometown. The owner of Shrimp'n Ain't Eazy is an East San Jose native, which is where he's located. Coming from someone that's from the same neighborhood, it's always a special feeling seeing somebody that grew up close to home thrive. It's a Bay Area trait to have some hustle, but it's a true San Jose thing to give back and pay tribute to your community. I've seen the truck posted at the Mt. Pleasant Shopping Center and Hillview Park. The owner does lil pop ups around town for social events at times, as well. He's the one that's taken my orders the times I've gone and is a chill dude. It takes a minute for the food to be prepared, but it's usually just him and one other person that helps make the food and takes orders so just be patient. The food is worth it. He's known for his shrimp and chorizo taco, which I actually never had yet, but I did try the vampiro tacos (which I remember being full off of and hella good) and also the chopped cheese. I never had chopped cheese before until trying it from here and let me just say, chopped cheese with shrimp??... As someone who loves shrimp, this was a game changer. A great component to the chopped cheese. Plus his orange sauce just made everything on point. I never been to New York before and always heard about their chopped cheese, so it's a win to have something close to home whenever I'm craving that.

    Pimpurrito (with maybe 1/5 or 1/6 eaten)
    Alison J.

    I had the Pimpurrito when they were at Clandestine Brewing yesterday. It was huge and delicious! Large, delicious shrimp inside, with plenty of chorizo. I wasn't given a lot of salsa but I can figure that out on my own. Plenty for multiple people or multiple meals.

    I was told this was the best taco place in San Jose so I dropped by on a Thursday night. It was…read morepretty slow since it was late at night. It's a non-descript taco truck with no signage and no menu, they just tell you what meats they have and you pick tacos or quesadillas. I ordered pastor, pollo, and cabeza. Pollo and pastor was pretty dry, cabeza was good. I had a bite of the brisket too and that was good. Overall I thought it was ok coming from LA. Maybe they just had a bad night--I would come back and do the pastor again because of the pineapple slices, but it wouldn't be my first pick. Also no radish and it's cash only, they take Venmo

    Came across a TikTok video mentioning that Taco El Primo had one of the best Al Pastor tacos around…read moreand knew I had to try and see if that was true. My partner ordered the Carne Asada Tacos and I ordered the Al Pastor Tacos. The wait was about 30 minutes and it was cash only. There is no menu in regard to what items can be ordered but only a sign with the meat options. Average: * Carne Asada Tacos were okay. It's your typical Carne Asada but in my opinion, I found the meat to be a bit too dry for my liking. * Al Pastor Tacos were okay. I enjoyed the sliced of pineapple on the tacos but the meat wasn't as juicy and tender as people make it out to be. Maybe I was unlucky to receive more of the burnt end pieces so it was dry. Hits: * Grilled Onions as a topping added on the tacos is a definite must. Although it is just a topping ingredient, I do believe it makes the taco overall taste better and more enjoyable. Final Verdict: Solid 3/5. I enjoyed the grilled onions and cilantro on my tacos that are provided with the Al Pastor. The green sauce tastes pretty decent with the tacos too but it was a bit underwhelming, I think TikTok hyped it up too much but overall it is an okay spot.
