Best fish tacos on the east side. Could eat them once a week. Made to order from a taco truck so sometimes you have to wait a bit. Wish they were there later but great for an early dinner or lunch. My favorite is the recommended shrimp and cheese one and soft shell crab

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.

Simon has some of the tastiest fish tacos I've had in LA. Their al pastor fish taco has great flavor and good texture with a bit of char on top that accompanied by some tasty more acidic fixins, making for a delicious bite. Sadly they were out of the fried crab tacos (seems like a common occurance so get here earlier in day if possible), but the shrimp tacos were awesome as well, flavored with some good slightly sweet sauce. The food truck is parked outside Yummy/Pine & Crane and service is pretty quick (~5 min to get your food during non-peak hours).

Top level tacos! I came here after seeing their food truck featured in the Angelino Magazine.The flavor, texture and the presentation of their food is amazing. So far my favorites are the Enchilada Suiza taco and the soft shell crab taco. I'm definitely coming back to try their other dishes.Pro tip: try their salsas, you won't regret it!Parking was not an issue when I came at 3pm on a Friday.
Best tacos we have had in LA, the shrimp and pork and the baja fish were amazing. Good amount of filling and juicy with

Simon's tacos outshined Holbox in both taste and freshness. The delightful surprise of their yumminess makes Simon the new reigning king in my book. The flavors were not only tasty but also exceptionally fresh, creating a satisfying dining experience.

The food truck is parked out in front of the grocery store and we easily found street parking around the corner. We arrived near closing time but they gladly welcomed our order. Unfortunately, they were sold out of the soft shell crab taco, but we were excited to try their other types as well. We ended up getting the fish al pastor and the enchilada suiza for $6 each and taking it to the tables in front of the grocery store where they're parked which was nice to have a place to sit while we ate. We grabbed little cups of all their salsa to try and I really liked the habanero one and their house salsa. The tacos were made to order and really fresh! The flavors were good and the shrimp in the enchilada suiza was cooked perfectly - this was our favorite out of the two! I'm not sure if I would go back because $6 per taco seemed pretty steep, but it was fun to try it out! It's also very conveniently located by Mashti Malone's if you want to grab ice cream after!

Excellent seafood tacos. Softshell crab was superb, fish and shrimp tacos are very fresh. Definitely try the salsa, it adds so much flavor to it.

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

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.

Been clamoring to come to Simōn ever since I read about them in the L.A. Times. Finally got the opportunity to do so over the weekend. It did not disappoint! What really caught my eye was that Simōn is unlike any other taco truck, as it has very exotic seafood taco concoctions. Since it was my first time, had to get as much as possible. Got five tacos fish al pastor, Baja-style fish, soft shell crab, shrimp & pork, and enchilada suiza. Fish al pastor was the one that intrigued me the most as I had never seen that before. Had that nice sweet, pineapple marinade flavor that I would have expected from regular al pastor. Baja-style crab was a solid fried fish taco. Soft shell crab was a whole soft shell crab, which kinda surprised me. But it perfectly fried and worked well as a taco. Shrimp and pork was alright, but it still tasty. The one that really surprised me was the enchilada suiza, as it's effectively shrimp and avocado taco layered with melted cheese. That one was quite delicious! Staff here were really friendly, no complaints from me. Having come around 2:30 pm, there was no line to speak of. Probably got lucky on that front, as there were several people that ordered after we did. Since everything was being made fresh and there were a few people that had ordered before us, it took us 25 minutes to get our food. I don't mind waiting because it was fresh out of the kitchen and piping hot! Parking can be a bit of a challenge at it is in front of a market with a small parking lot. Ended up having to park on the nearby street. However, the market is helpful though as they have seats outside where you can sit to eat. Overall, I was expecting something exotic and creative from Simōn and was not disappointed! Worth the drive and would love to come back.
