I BEEN GOING TO PEPE FOR A LONG TIME. HE IS THE BEST HANDS DOWN MARISCOS IN SAN JOSE AND BAY AREA AND I STAY LOOKING FOR SIMILAR IF NOT BETTER BUT CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING BETTER AND FULL OF TASTE WITH MANY DIFFERENT VARIETY PLATES TO DIFFERENT SAUCES TO LEVELS OF CHILI HOTNESS. HE IS PROFESSIONAL AND VERY ATTENTIVE TO HIS CUSTOMERS AND MAKES SURE YOU LEAVE SATISFIED. IF YOUR READING THIS AND DECIDING TO TRY IT. TRY IT!!!!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. CANT WAIT FOR HIM TO OPEN UP A RESTAURANT!!!

My in laws always ask to go here when they visit from Mexico because it’s better than the aguachiles in Mexico! It’s better than any restaurant. If you like spicy fresh seafood this is the place! As a bonus they only serve high quality tostadas too. Cash only. Owner is awesome! There’s some covered outdoor seating in front of the truck

Parking: There’s always parking available next to the Diner and gas station

Kid-friendliness: They have some cooked options that are not spicy that kids can eat

I've been seeing this place all over my Instagram so I decided to check them out. The owner Pepe was so nice and the food was amazing. I will say I whimped out at spice level 2 since they go all the way to spice level 12. But this is definitely a great place to come with a beer (BYOB) and hangout with the community.

Dietary restrictions: This place sells seafood. So it's a pescatarian dream.

Parking: This is in the Chevron parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: Ok environment for kids but it is a parking lot so keep an eye on wondering little ones

Wheelchair accessibility: Parking lot so plenty of room

Not even close. The best Aguachile available. Bring cash & BYOB. Aquachile needs time for raw seafood to sit in lime juice and "cook", so, it'll take 15-20 minutes before your order is ready. Absolutely worth the wait! This single order was way more than two of us could finish. It included 2 kinds of shrimp, scallops, oysters and octopus in a black sauce. Really exceptional.

Delicious food truck! We got the aguachiles with green salsa with cooked shrimp, but the owner was so nice and decided to make us a mixed plate with some salsa roja! The sweetest! If you are able to handle spice I would say get a level 3 but if not don’t since it was a little spicy for my friends. Also make sure to bring cash since they don’t accept card payments! There is an ATM in the gas station that it is parked in though and across the street there are several stores that do cash back.
