Awesome taco truck. Among the top tier fish tacos in LA. Ordered three tacos: pork (cochinita?), fried crab, and the white fish with avocado. Each were big, packed tremendous flavor, and were unique. Really liked this place. Would recommend and would come back. Thank you Simon LA

tl;dr don't let the tacos distract you from this Oaxacan food truck's main attraction: the signature Aguachile Negro is as addictive as it is fresh Simon is a royal blue Silver Lake food truck posted up in front of Pine & Crane's extended patio. Cousins Francisco Aguilar and Alexis Chacon relocated from Oaxaca to open this mobile mariscos operation. But Simon's seafood-forward menu is innovative and sophisticated, seemingly more at home in a sit-downery than a mobile food cart. Unsurprisingly, Simon has been lauded by news outlets and food critics abound. I've been dying to try Simon, but the limited and often unpredictable hours have kept me from it for months. My partner and I visited for a late weekend lunch and ordered immediately. We opted for 2 tacos (the Soft Shelled Crab and the Baja-style Fish) and a Large Aguachile Negro, and our made-to-order meal was prepared within a few minutes. Between the tacos, the crab was a clear winner. The crispy, whole crab was well-complemented by the fresh pineapple salsa and the rich chipotle crema. In stark contrast, the Baja-style fried fish was one-dimensional in flavor and ran on the soggy side, owing to the watery pickled cabbage slaw. But not even the crab taco could compete with the stellar aguachile. We couldn't get enough of the marinade's rich blend of acidity and smokiness, which overshadowed even the generous helping of fresh shrimp. Simon's complimentary salsa lineup also exceeded expectations. We most enjoyed the earthy salsa macha and the smooth, creamy salsa verde, but the tangy salsa Simon -- the truck's take on taco sauce -- was no slouch, either. Our bill totaled just over $30, and the meal felt reasonably priced and appropriately filling. While the tacos didn't knock my socks off, the aguachile certainly did -- I can't wait to return to try some of Simon's other varieties.

One of the best ceviches ive had with such fun, unique, and delicious salsa bar. There are some tables nearby (in front of yummy supermarket) but overall ambiance is food truck casual. Service is friendly but wait is typically at least 10 mins or more. Makes sense bc they make/fry their food right when you order. Highly recommend their ceviche, soft shell tacos and alpastor fish

Anita M.

The al pastor fish taco really is delicious. Filled with the depth of flavor from Al pastor but lightened as it is made with fish. The sweetness of pineapple pushes the flavor up even more. Freshly made means a little wait as it is prepared and it is worth it. Also, service was very kind and helpful.

Some of the best fish tacos I've had in LA. Lovely staff, unique menu options. There is serve-yourself salsa station with an impressive array of house made choices. Do yourself a favor and get a crunchy fried fish taco and eat it right when it comes out!! There is limited seating out front, but you can usually snag a table in the shared space between the truck and Pine+Crane.

Pro: spicy salsas, creative seafood tacos. Grow: wait times, a bit pricy but worth it. I was taking a walk around the neighborhood and came across Simón. Luckily I was hungry and craving seafood which is their specialty. They serve creative tacos such as pescado Al pastor. The quality of the hand made tortilla and homemade salsas easily earned them my top rating. They do not have seating available, however, there is some green space with benches where you can enjoy the tacos. Food: I tried the pescado Al pastor which is a spin on pork tacos Al pastor. The portion size was great and it came with a slice of roasted pineapple which complimented the taco nicely. This was my favorite taco and I would easily come back to order more. Secondly, I ordered the shrimp and pork taco which is a spin on a deconstructed camarrones a La momia. The taco was also very well balanced and had a nice texture. The salsa bar had unique flavors I had not tried such as carrot habanero. I loved that they don't hold back on spice. Overall, this is a high quality and flavorful taco truck. I will definitely be back to try more of the Mariscos.

Got to try this truck for the first time this past weekend at Eeeeatscon! The soft shell crab is fantastic and worth the hype. Wait time a little long, but worth it.

Food was good. I think they may be short staffed the same person taking the orders is the same person called out the orders. Her voice was very soft. People kept coming up to the window to ask if their number was called. They may need to invest in a microphone. Will be back again.

One of the best fish tacos I have ever had! This is a food truck, and we were lucky enough to be at Eagle rock brewery and they were there on a Sunday. The food can be a little pricey but it has to do with quality. The ceviche was so amazing that I ended up ordering a second ceviche because I didn't want to share! I really wanted a fish and shrimp mix but the mixed ceviche had octopus but they were kind enough to create one for me without it and it was amazing! My husband and weren't a huge fan of the "el pastor" style fish taco but I think to is one of the more popular tacos. The gentleman working there was also very kind and helpful. Highly recommend coming trying this place out.

91°F in Silver Lake in October. Let's head to Simón and grab some tacos, and actually remember to take some photos this time. 6 months ago, we stumbled on Simón after doing some shopping at the adjacent Farmer's Market, and have been meaning to return. We walked right up to the window at 2pm and ordered the Fish Al Pastor Taco, the Soft Shell Crab Taco, and the Octopus Taco. I opted for the Steak Quesadilla this time around as well, both because I was in the mood and because I couldn't find a picture of it on Yelp. The cousins who run the truck are as jovial as they are efficient, as hospitable as they are talented. All that's missing is a place to sit while you eat (and Topo Chico to drink - but you can grab a bottle at Yummy.com while your food is being made) They are doing something special here, and if they launch a Brick & Mortar space within 50 miles, I'll make it a point to visit, so I can bring friends to sit and share this beautiful food with. Prices have increased since our last visit (not complaining - everything else has gone up too), but the $4 tacos we had in April are now $5.25 Still absolutely worth the price, especially considering you get access to their fantastic, ever-evolving shelf of refrigerated salsas with taco pairing suggestions written right on the jar if you need some guidance. TIP: on your first visit, make use of the 1oz containers and grab a bit of each salsa, so you can mix and match different bites, and pare down your list of favorite salsas for your next visit. The Carrot Habañero is still the winner for me - I'd put it on anything and everything. I'd clear out space in my fridge if they'd allow me to purchase some to take home. I'd swim in it. I'd add it to my nighttime skincare routine. I've added some photos below, but y'all already know the food is beautiful. Thankfully it's just as delicious as it looks. Bring your own pack of Water Wipes for your fingers, as this is a Grab & Go, or "Grab & Stand Next To a Planter To Use As A Table" situation (which is what we did.) The Quesadilla is decadent and greasy in the best way, with a layer of cheese coating the outside, as well as the inside. Unless you're careful, *your* outside layer will be also covered in cheese by the time you're finished. But that's ok, because you have the Carrot Habañero Salsa to wash your face with.

It's good... Seriously it is. Ok honestly it's a good fit for Silverlake! In general there are no mariscos available anywhere and yooooo this place does not disappoint when the craving hits. No more driving to east los, or heading to echo park for mediocre fish tacos, real deal authentic mariscos! The aguachile negro, the Al pastor taco (not pork but fish) and the cocktail( pronounce coke tell) are fire son! Like boom flavor my man! The man running the window super helpful really knows his stuff! Definitely a spot to hit for the summer or if you want some mariscos! read more

Super excited about this place! Best seafood tacos in LA! Super fresh and perfectly cooked for optimal texture! Love that it doesn't taste like American tacos and that there are many non fried options. So many different home made sauces that make the taste three dimensional and complex. The garnish is fresh, generous. The ceviches and aguachiles are also super delicious. Amazing quality and value! Tastes way better and more interesting than many trendy high end restaurants!! Very impressed :) We love the Fish Al Pastor, barbacoa octopus, shrimp tacos, negro aguachiles, and fish ceviche. The staff is very kind and you can feel the love in their food! read more

Hmmmm... really wanted to say I loved the tacos, but I would say they are just ok. Definitely salty... the flavors of the soft shell crab and Baja tacos are pretty one dimensional. No distinguishable flavors in either of them aside from the friedness. Would I spend 12$ on two tacos again from there... no thank you. Maybe should've tried the grilled fish. read more

Horrible service and would never recommend this place! Placed my order and asked how long it would take. I was informed the order would be 3 minutes to prepare. After almost 20 minutes of waiting, I went back to the food truck window and asked for the status of my order. They handed me container, then got a seat to take a bite. After tasting it, I realized they gave me the wrong order. I went back to the window to inform them they had given me the wrong order. They send demanded the order back and told me to would be an addition 10 minutes for my correct order. No apologies....No compensation for the extended wait for the mistake. I asked for a refund. Never ever go to this place!! read more

Tried them out today and we loved everything--fresh, flavorful and cooked to perfection. Each taco was delicious, filling, thoughtfully garnished and the complex flavors really stood out. We tried all the salsas, appreciated how they were labeled with suggested pairings, and found them to be unique and tasty. Hopefully one day they'll sell large containers of the salsas! Added bonuses--every tortilla stayed in tact and the guys were kind. Definitely coming back!

WOW! The best modern marisco restaurant in all of Southern California. I thought restaurants in Guadalajara were great and their flavors amazing, but along came Simon and let me tell you this place is legit. We visited Simon for the first time about two months ago and have been back at least six times and each time we've tried something different. Their Al Pastor Fish Taco was the first excuse to visit and let me tell you that it did not disappoint our taste buds. Every time we went back it was something different and each time we were astonished by the flavors on all their food. My go to now is their Fish Al Pastor and their Enchilada Suiza Taco.

After reading the glorious review of Simon we were excited to get lunch today. It was one disappointment after another. The young saleswoman was nasty, completely indifferent and overall out of it. Once we were finally able to order the informed us that there were only two things available in the menu: pescado as pastor and 'cocktails" without any elaboration. Nothing in the long and enticing menu was available. there were 3 of us and she gave us utensils for one. When we asked for two other sets she practically threw them at us. The food (the little they had of it) was good but the service was painful. For sure it did not in any way reflect the photo of the two friendly guys in the instagram. Wherever you found that saleswoman you would do well losing her because she is not going to do much for your business. Our experience makes the LA Times Article come off as pure fiction. read more

The restaurant is clean, but it's on the smaller side with limited seating. If you're coming with a group of more than four, I'd recommend calling ahead to make a reservation. The sea urchin is a must-try. It's incredibly creamy, and the quail egg in the middle makes it even better. The spicy crab was fresh, meaty, and full of flavor. One of the standout banchan dishes was the marinated salmon head served with sweet potato--it was surprisingly flaky, rich, and delicious. Overall, great quality, fresh seafood, and excellent value. I'd definitely come back.

The guy taking orders is rude and a jerk, and does not how long an order takes. Told 5 minutes and had to wait 20z Second, the lady at the window, because they don't serve you so you pick up your food. At first was nice, but the more things I had to ask, the worse she got. Third, the food is just not that good. Not understanding what people are thinking but it was not good at all. Papas taquitos were one seasoned and not good at all. Cameron's dorado were more potato tacos, no seasoning, not fried enough, and just not good. The Pescado aguachili was basically inediblez. Way too spicy. Was told it was spicy, but this was ridiculous. After one bite my taste buds were toast and I could not eat any longer. Glad it was the last thing I tried. For me, will definitely NOT be a return customer.

I've been wanting to try this place for ages, so I finally stopped in for lunch this week. I had my…read moredog with me, so we sat outside. It was perfectly pleasant, though be warned: foot traffic passes just a few feet away. I kicked things off with a martini, which was excellent--surprisingly generous by today's standards and a real deal at $12. For starters, I had the Caesar salad. Think tuxedo at a pool party: definitely overdressed. But it was delicious, and I'd order it again--just with light dressing. The fish sandwich was fine, nothing more. I couldn't help thinking McDonald's might edge them out on the Filet-O-Fish (though it's been decades, so who knows). It wasn't bad; I'd just try something different next time.

Parking is brutal in the area so expect to be circling around for a bit. They have a late happy hour which are half off oysters which is nice! We tried a set of raw oysters - rockefeller, small but might in flavor and meatiness. Shucking was done well too. Grilled octopus - pricey for the amount you get, but cooked well. Accompaniments like potatoes were OK, but could have more mushroom. Shell pasta - the pasta was homemade cause it tasted so light. I think the sauce was a little too light for me as well, but overall still a solid dish. Cioppino - Also a little lighter in flavor and I think just smaller in size in comparison to price. Seafood is fresh though, and that's clear in every dish here. Lonely Louie - the star of the night. I loved how fresh and bright this was. Everything mixed so well together and would definitely be getting this again. Atlantic Pie - their version of a key lime pie and was a tangy, nice finisher to the meal.

They sell oysters from their family farm which is a nice touch, and the aguachile was a standout and well balanced. We also had their scallop tostado, chowder, and wedge salad which were all great as well. For me, the chowder was the quintessential New England style chowder perhaps made with a bit more finesse. I also liked how their wedge salad used thick cut bacon. However, I felt like the scallops were overpowered by the citrus flavors although that's more of a personal preference. Service was amazing at the oyster bar!

The price is super affordable. My husband and I always go to the West Hollywood location so when we saw there was a Los Feliz location we had to stop by. My husband got a Baja shrimp burrito for only $14. There's so much flavor and the shrimp is juicy and plump. I got 2 pollo asado tacos. I'm usually not a fan of chicken but the way guac daddy flavors it -- it's actually my favorite meat to get here. And I highly recommend if it's your first time to try the guac daddy box because for me it introduced me to vampiro and mulita and now a mulita is my FAVORITE thing to get from here. I can visit guac daddy and not order it! And I also tried their potato taquitos for the first time. The potatoes are seasoned so well. Lots of flavor on a fried tortilla it's like a potato chimichanga. And their guac and chips are $6 for a big big scoop. Very affordable and delicious!! Highly recommend!

4* for food. 1* for service and packaging…read more I tend to place larger orders (for 5-6 people), but I have yet to receive my entire order. Last time, I was missing a birria taco. This time, I was missing a deluxe box. How do you not pack an entire deluxe box? The problem is that it is near impossible to check your order on site with their atrocious eco-friendly packaging. Each taco is open-faced on a floppy paper plate with foil over it. None of them are marked. The sauces come in paper cups with a paper lid that doesn't lock in place because the paper isn't coated, so it absorbs the sauce and turns soggy. This past time, the lid came off the queso and it was all over the box, which then fell apart from the liquid. Don't order to go. Just don't do it.

BOMB!! So good I literally forgot to take pictures!…read more The Cubed Asada taco was so good! Huge cubes of steak that were juicy, salty, flavorful, and so delicious. The guy at the register was super kind and asked if it was our first time. He recommended getting a little bit of everything so we could try the whole menu, which I'm glad we did! Our favorite was definitely the Cubed Asada taco over the smaller, cheaper OG taco, which we upgraded to the Sonora Beef Cracklings. The OG was definitely good, but we personally preferred the Cubed Asada. Those huge steak cubes were just on another level. They have an AYCE guac and salsa bar, which the staff definitely encourages you to take advantage of. But honestly, the tacos don't even need anything on them. The meat is so flavorful on its own. I'd almost just bring some chips next time so I can go crazy at the guac bar They have plenty of outdoor seating, tons of cold drinks, and their own horchata bottled. The whole vibe is awesome and the workers seemed genuinely happy and friendly, which always makes a difference. Definitely coming back!

Very dope to be selling out immediately. Because of the wait the guys working started cranking out beef chicharron tacos to feed the people for free. Once again very dope. When the asada finally pulled up for all of us chilling in the parking lot, the owner (I think) made a nice lil announcement thanking us for our patience. The beef chicharron tacos were pretty fire, first one I got was really good but second one felt a bit like it had been sitting for a sec. No worries tho, free and we're here for the asada. The asada was insane. Extremely tender little medium rare cubes and the mesquite flavoring from the smoke took it over the top. Make sure to hit the salsa bar, pickled onions were bomb. Waited probably close to an hour from pulling up to eating the first asada taco, and I am very happy with that decision. Homie at the front blessed me with a couple free asada tacos, so my total on the day was 5 tacos for the price of one. Gave em a nice tip tho don't worry. Next time I'll be smacking a burrito, looks gas.

It's just a food vendor stand and not actually a fixed establishment but like clockwork, you see this guy cooking away every night in Silver Lake. I love this place for a few reason: Quality: Manny takes pride in his food from the extra sauces and ingredients to the simple presentation. I love how he not only puts some high quality ingredients from the sauces to the guac but he even takes the time to toast the burritos on the outside. That has to be one of my favorite things as I love that toasty, cruncy feel. He'll of course make it anyway you want though so you gotta love that face it's "your way"...

After indulging in the liquid offerings from the beer gods, they found themselves to be overwhelmingly inebriated. As thunder roared, and lightning began to strike nearby, Brent looked over to Josh and Jon through the heavy downpour, and said; "We better find some food". Both Josh and Jon agreed. The young adventurers began their trek up the menacing incline of sunset boulevard. The naive travelers struggled mightily, wobbling back and fourth, trying to remain composed under the torrential downpour, battling fatigue and intoxication. Gaining ground quickly; Brent, Josh, and Jon seemed to solidify their wavering optimism. "We can do this!" shouted Josh through the deafening roar of the storm. As the boys continued their adventure, they began to smell....what seemed to be a heavenly sent of fresh, homemade tortillas, and al pastor. "This has to be a trick" Jon uttered in a drunken mumble, and the boys carried on. Further up the road, the storm had slowed, providing a brief moment of silence during which Brent heard a rustling and gurgling coming from what looked like a mound of perpetual blackness. "You guys stay here, I'll check it out" shouted Brent bravely. Brent noticed this blackness was a cover, maybe a blanket. He approached the blackness, as the storm began roaring as loud as ever, grabbed this blanket and tossed it aside. He saw a woman lying beneath the blanket, lightening struck the tree above in a mighty rumble, and the woman rose, Brent shreiked and began to run as the woman yelled "get the hell out of here, I'm sleeping!" The homeless woman shooed the boys away, when finally the storm let up, and the smell of homemade tortillas and al pastor returned. The travelers looked up and saw two hispanic gods holding spatulas in front of a large futuristic cooking device. The sun once again shone as the clouds parted, and rays of light began to beam down upon these men. Brent, Josh, and Jon had the feast of gods (for only $5) and the great adventurers were cured of their inebriation and ready once again to begin a new conquest of divine libations at the Thirsty Crow Bar. This food is seriously THAT amazing!
