Mariscos Jalisco - LA- 10th & Town

Mariscos Jalisco serves Los Angeles’ most iconic deep-fried shrimp tacos from their downtown food truck, earning recognition as a “National Treasure” by Jonathan Gold and the title “L.A.’s Taco” since these unique tacos “cannot be found in Mexico.” Their signature taco de camaron features massive shrimp in a “perfectly deep-fried shell” topped with housemade red salsa and avocado at $2.50 each. Established in 2002, this cash-only operation has become “one of the most consistently fantastic tacos in the city” with a “crunchy shell that collapses like tempura” and “rich, savory filling.” Beyond the famous shrimp tacos, their Poseidon tostada stacks ceviche, octopus, and shrimp aguachile four inches high, while their aguachile features “avocados kissed by god.” The truck provides indoor seating and has earned accolades as “Best Food Truck” and “Best Old School Truck” throughout Southern California.
