Beware 0f Being Over Charged! Been here 12 times and 9 times the prices and total didn't match. Even with the advertised $4 two adobada tacos and the $1.25 fish taco, I was Charged $2 more. Just was too tired and hungry to dispute the prices. I ordered the same thing a week ago and the price was different. Besides that, the taquero is always nice and friendly. Tacos are good size and made proper 👌😋. They don't have prices marked for anything and every time I'm there someone is always disputing the amount being charged with the cashier. The only time I've been charged correctly is if I only order two adobada tacos on taco Tuesday special. If I order 4, price total will be different. I would actually go there more if only they don't cheat on their customers 🙄😒
Update:
Dear owner, I gave a review as I experienced my 12 visits. I was over charged many times and it seems you're more upset about my review than me getting charged more money. I try to go there because I'm hungry not because I want to argue about the total I get charged. Even if the fish tacos are 25 cents more, I was still over charged. This issue happens a lot because you don't post prices. 😒 I still had plans on returning but I see you refuse to see the problem that many other's also experience, so I rather go somewhere else where I won't be over charged. Maybe you should remove the sign that says $1.25 fish tacos and post prices at the menu. I hope your customers pay attention when they order or they will pay more.
French fries just looked French 😣☝️
Great spot. Great food.
They use low fat cheese from Costco, which is cheaper the regular cheese for Carne Asada fries. I paid $20. The cheese didn’t even melt. Low fat cheese they should use regular cheese costs a little more but for what they charge $20 for the fries it’s not worth it. Low-fat cheese is gross.
The taqueria is very friendly , but the food is not really good , the arrachera plate is just carne asada not real arrachera.
Food wasn’t bad but when I got there they didn’t even acknowledge me, they starting counting money or changing cashier or something and I was just standing there awkwardly. Second… either prices are Not accurate AT ALL or they just ripped me off? One fish taco and a fish tostada with a can soda and strawberry water for $19? Receipt doesn’t show so I can’t tell at all but left me thinking the whole ride home how does that add up?
Ordered food it was disgusting, place is dirty, workers are extremely rude. Workers don’t wear gloves to handle food. Tacos were cold meat was nasty burned. The service is horrible I don’t know how this place is still open. Health department should come close this place down. Never again will I eat there or recommend this place to anyone.. rats crawling under food truck. HEALTH DEPT ALERT!!
6$ quesadilla and this sad ass fish.
Like maybe don't have mojara on the menu if this is what you're gonna offer.

Update: The management seems to really to care about their business and their customers after all. Thanks the prompt response to my concerns. I gave the food truck a try and I'm glad I did.
It was not very busy when I arrived so there were only a couple of people ahead of me. I was giving my order within 5 minutes and offered Consume - delicious! Probably waited another 10 minutes for my fish burrito. They offered either fried or grilled. I got the fried one this time. The wait was okay for me since they make everything fresh.
I got it to go and ate it while driving. What I was impressed with was they automatically cut it half even though I forgot to ask them to that. It was also on a disposable tray and also wrapped with saran to keep it hot. Most taco shops don't do all of that, but it was a nice touch since I only ate half and had the wrapping already so I could eat the other half later or throw it in the fridge.
Now, the taste and texture was amazing. Perfect crunch from the fried fish and purple onions. The burrito needed nothing added for my tastes and the fish was buttery and fresh. Just the right level of kick for me but if you are a spicy fan they had at least 10-15 bottles of hot sauce available along with the cups they put in the bag.
There were comfortable seats and tables outside the truck which under a couple of tents, so it's nice and shaded, lights at night, etc. I'll definitely be back because I'm in the area a lot.

The food is great but the service varies, same as the prices. I typically order the same one or two items and the cost changes depending on who takes me order. I am often skipped over in line to take what I really hope is friends and family orders otherwise it is rude. I don’t speak Spanish so I have given up on phoning in my order since they only speak in Spanish and will leave you on hold for over 20 minutes if they even bother taking the call at all.

Not very good tacos, tasted like burnt oil. They don't have a rich flavor but they take away your hunger.

Today I visited La Moerña Mariscos, hoping to enjoy their hamburgers or TJ tacos shows in their signs . Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing, and I didn't even get to order any food.
Upon arriving, I went to the taco cart and was directed to the food truck to place my order. There was one person ahead of me, engaged in a lively conversation with the young lady taking orders. While I understand and respect the camaraderie among native speakers, it became apparent that if you weren't part of their group, you were practically invisible.
As I waited, one of the cooks bumped into me while dragging a trash can, yet apologized to a nearby Mexican gentleman instead of me. I brushed it off and continued waiting. On his way back, the same cook stood in front of me, waiting for me to move without saying "excuse me" or "con permiso." He literally just stood there scowling at me.
After the previous customers finished ordering, an employee from the kitchen stepped out and cut in front of me to ask about his tacos, ignoring my presence entirely. I completely understand that he works there and is likely waiting on his lunch, but for he did not say anything at all....wow. The young lady assisting him didn't acknowledge me either, despite it being my turn. Additionally, another staff member handed out complimentary consomme to the Mexican patrons in line but did not offer me any.
The final straw was when the same young lady took an order from a woman behind me in line, completely bypassing me. She asked her what kind of tacos she wanted, the woman responded saying she wanted 'pescado' .Feeling utterly disrespected and ignored, I decided to just leave.
This is not about misunderstanding cultural nuances; it's about basic customer service and respect. I grew up in San Diego and have witnessed cultural shifts, but exclusionary practices like these are unacceptable.
Often, businesses will respond to such reviews by dismissing or gaslighting customers, suggesting that their experiences are invalid or misinterpreted. I assure you, this was not a case of misunderstanding—it was a clear lack of courtesy and respect.

Great location, the food is delicious. I recommend the tacos de camarón enchilado, aguachirle, oysters and the clamatos. Good service, everybody is really nice and gave me my food very quickly. I feel right at home.
