This place is fire! You can tell it's their passion. Awesome menu options. Great execution!! Definitely going back. Ordered 4 tacos and all were delicious... Marlin, Camarones, Qusabirria and Asada. Each one was unique and plated differently, each had so much thought put into it. And I did takeout, so very very impressive.

Chef was very friendly, brought us some Thai-style soup samples to taste, and checked in on us during dinner. Never seen Mexican sushi before, which was tasty. Ours had morsels of barbecue beef on top, drool. Our other dish was a ceviche where everything was fresh and went awesome with freshly fried tortillas.The place is humble, thoughtful, and familial. Decorated like a beach-side seafood barbecue shack.We want to go back and try more on the menu.

Best marisco spot in the area hands down hidden gem. Don't let this place slip your fingertips nothing like it in the area.

This is a stationary food truck near downtown, but it doesn't really seem like a food truck and rather an open air dine-in restaurant. The food truck is actually attached to a cute covered patio, with picnic style tables and seating, and lots of character inside, the decor with almost a hawaiian feel. They serve crackers and a shrimp soup, kind of like how some places serve free chips and salsa. The shrimp was good. I ended up ordering the shrimp quesadilla, and it was pretty unique, different than I've had anywhere. It was a really generous size, with the sour cream and salsa (kind of spicy) served on the side by request. The quesadilla was thick, stuffed with delicous marinated shrimp, melted cheese, and a mixture of fresh herbs and vegetables. You could see just how colorful the ingredients were, and I love how the tortilla was charred and crisp on the outside, everything served fresh. I absolutely loved this dish (if you wanna get hungry, see my photos). What I loved even more was the service. The owner/worker was extremely kind and patient with me taking my time to order, and with all of my questions about the ingredients, and letting me know how flexible they are, ie. they can put any meat/filling in the quesadilla, even fish. A couple different workers checked on me several times during my visit to make sure I had everything I needed. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming, which made an outstanding first impression. If I could change anything, it might be that the music was a bit too loud, the speaker blasting right behind my head as I ate... mexican music if that suits your taste. But that's just a small thing. From my experience, I believe they deserve 5 stars for the quality of food, good service, and inviting casual atmosphere. On top of that, they have the minimal things one might need at an eatery, they have a small parking lot in the back (plus free and easy street parking around the corner), a couple of porta potties right across from the dining area, and they accept credit cards.
