    BOMB AF I DONT WANT TO FINISH MY FOOD BC ITS SO GOOD .. i want to savor every last bite bomb noodles ,bomb rice ,bomb filet mignon If you are ever in DTLA pull up !!

    Chicken plate +noodle upcharge
    David E.

    As you can see I ate some of the food already, so I shouldn't be complaining but I was starving. Obviously it can't be that bad if I ate it.. That being said, this is NOT Japanese cuisine. This is Linguine with yakisoba sauce. If you're used to having Japanese you'd know that yakisoba is made with wheat noodles. The linguine threw everything off! Secondly, this was supposed to include veggies. As you can see, there aren't any veggies AT ALL! Not even at the bottom. Veggies would've been nice to balance all those noodles. Lastly, the chicken is DRYYYYY. I paid $16 for these noodles +$3 up charge for noodles +$3 service fee +$5 tip. This was soooo not worth it, I'm sorry.

    Platinum Mini - wagyu, bacon scallops, & spicy noodles
    Angelica L.

    We were on our way home and stumbled upon this truck on the corner of the street by the Metro near Circa. We ordered a platinum mini ($28) in which you can choose 2 items on the list and either fried rice or noodles. It took 15 minutes to make so we walked around Circa. Yakitana is more high end than other food trucks in that they give you fancy silverware and a nice togo box cover. They also have nice black seating tables for you to dine. They also gave 4 different sauces which was really nice. It was definitely pricey and not worth it for a box of spicy noodles with 2 skewers. The wagyu was pretty good but not melt-in-your mouth. The bacon scallops were overcooked & hard. The spicy noodles were really good to me and the one item I would order again (if reasonably priced).

    Receipt. Ordered the P2 and bottle water.

    I was glad a could order a healthy meal..for the most part compared to McDonald's, Popeyes etc late in the evening near Staples. With that said, the food was just OK. The white rice wasn't the best..just ok like the rest of the meal. It was a bit pricey but once I got my order, I sort of understood why. The Tupperware they use is high quality (reuse it for work), they give you way above the sauces needed (half of what was given was all the was needed) and the packaging/marketing was very nicely put together. With that said, they should save on the cost of the above and buy better white rice. Again, I would come back only because a) I expense my meals for work b) healthier options at this late evening. Check out the price in the pic so you don't get surprised.

    2 skewer combo with Lamb Chops and Filet Mignon
    Kevin K.

    I was very surprised with this food truck! I didn't expect to fall in love with their food so much. I ordered the 2 skewer combo with Lamb Chops and Filet Mignon. The lamb chops were divine. Melted in my mouth and had so much juicy flavor!! I also got the spicy noodles and spicy fried rice and it's the best fried rice and noodles from ANY HIBACHI place hands down!!! Make sure you try their yum yum sauce!!!! Definitely will be back!

    Presentation of the food truck is clean. Has a nice seating area. Food took a bit longer had to wait about 30 min. Not sure if you can call in an order. Didn't try. Pretty pricey, but then again getting wagyu and scallop etc some "premium" meats. Side portions is hefty. I got a side of white steamed rice and added chicken. They mistakenly gave me friend rice and walked over to stop me from eating it to fix, but it was fine. Big portion of fried rice with chicken. I got the following platinum bowl (4 skewers) Wagyu- nicely cooked, juicy Bacon asparagus-ok Filet mignon-juicy Lamb- interesting they marinated it with a sweet marinade. Tasted more like a pork chop. Unless I had pork chop without realizing it. -1 star wait time. Only thing is it's a great concept, but yakitori is better when the skewers are served as soon as they're cooked, otherwise it's cooled and doesn't taste as good as it was right off the grill. So I personally wouldn't do take out. Maybe fine tune menu to perhaps have food that cook at the same rate.

    Some filet ,asparagus, lamb , salmon, chicken, pork belly!! Oooooooooooh some

The shrimp was plump and flavorful. What amped up the flavor was the salsa on top which was super flavorful and fresh and not too salty for me. I also liked the creamy avocado on top. Everything held together well and it wasn't too messy to eat. I would keep coming back here for these alone. This is a food truck, but they actually have a designated indoor seating with ample tables and chairs and even bathrooms! Parking is street parking.

Mariscos Jaliscos is a simple, humble and easy going food truck that easily beats any sit in boujee restaurant. Their menu is simple and easy to understand. Mariscos Jalisco is best known for their Fried shrimp tacos however, they have one of the best aguachiles I've tasted hands down. Their shrimp tacos are absolutely amazing with the right crunchiness and soft fried shrimp inside. The sauce that comes with these tacos are jam packed with flavor adding to the overall flavors/texture of the shrimp taco. Hurts to say it but this might be my new favorite shrimp taco in ELA/Boyle Heights area. The service here is quick and friendly. I went on a Friday afternoon and did not find busy crowds at this food truck. Street parking is available and the times that i've visited other food trucks nearby i was able to find quick parking. Its a busy street so you will find people coming in and out of parking spots most of the time. I enjoyed my experience here at Mariscos Jalisco and will be coming back very soon. You all need to come to this place.

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.
