What makes it special: Parking-lot mariscos truck turning out standout ceviches and seafood tacos at low prices.
Who should go: Seafood taco fans comfortable eating curbside.
When to visit: Daytime hours for freshest prep and shorter lines.
What to order: Shrimp ceviche tostada, grilled fish taco, campechana cocktail.
Insider tip: Bring cash and customize heat level with their salsas.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking along Manchester is usually available but can be tight during meal rushes; expect to circle once or twice. No dedicated lot.
Dress code: Totally casual—hoodies, tees, work uniforms, and athleisure all fit right in.
Noise level: Low to moderate—it's an outdoor truck setup, so street traffic provides most of the background noise, but conversations are easy.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes depending on the line; food comes out quickly once ordered.
Weekday lunch: Often no wait, though a brief line during peak lunch rush is common.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—most items are seafood-based, but you can sometimes get veggie-only tostadas with avocado and salsa.
Vegan options: Very limited—options may be restricted to chips, salsa, and a custom veggie tostada if available.
Gluten-free options: Decent—tostadas, ceviches, and most tacos can be made on corn tortillas; cross-contamination is possible due to the small truck kitchen.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if your date enjoys casual, street-food energy. It’s tasty and fun but not ideal if you’re looking for ambiance, seating, or a long, cozy conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—there are no reservations and no formal seating. Grab one of the few standing tables or eat curbside.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for quick, casual meals—older kids who like seafood will enjoy it. There’s no seating, shade, or dedicated amenities, so very young kids might find it less comfortable.
Best For
Better for: Fresh, affordable mariscos with bold flavor; fast service; generous portions without the cost or wait of a sit-down seafood spot.
Skip if: You want indoor seating, a full-service experience, non-seafood variety, or a more polished dining environment.
