“ The seafood is fresh and not frozen, from what I can tell. Today I had the tacos dorados and the tostada aquachile. The taco were crazy good and perfectly cooked. The taco shell was crispy, while the shrimp was not dried out! These tacos have to be the best thing on the menu. The Agua Chile, I hate to say, was below average. Yes there was plenty of fresh shrimp, but there wasn't enough juice and the onions were still raw. It seems like it may have been recently prepared, because the onions were harsh. The service was great. When I drove by, it seemed like they had a short line and I wasn't gonna stop. Four blocks away, I changed my mind, pulled over and called my order in. By the time I got there and parked, I walked up to the truck, paid and I was off. I'm definitely going to go by again for a third time. My heart is set on finding a tostada that I enjoy. And you better believe I'm grabbing some more of those tacos! ”
“ Pretty good fresh seafood, mixta pulpo shrimp and ceviche. Service is great and it's cheap. ”
“ We called ahead to order for lunch. Online shows they open at 10:30 but the last 2x they've been opening at 10:45. The taco de pescado is really good fresh. My coworkers really like the Tacos Dorados. ”
“ This place was introduced by a friend and since then I continue to go if I'm in the area. This place never misses. My personal preference is having some lime and sour cream with my tacos. I was able to call for pick up. There is usually parking around the area. ”
“ My coworker put me on to this food truck located in San Bruno on El Camino. We go every couple of months to get the Tacos Dorados, a rolled up tortilla with shrimp and fried with sliced avocado on top and some serious heat for red sauce on the side. Solid, 4.5 overall. I'm a fan. I also like to get a couple of fish tacos to go along with it. Solid breaded tilapia, pico de galla, avocado, mayo and secret sauce. Cost is fair at about $3 per taco. My coworker also likes to get the ceviche to take home, it's a plastic container filled with your favorite seafoods. When I tried it, it was really tasty. A container runs around $18. The service is solid, you order from the window and get your order within 5-10 mins depending on how busy they are. Parking is on the street, it's fairly plentiful and free. The furthest we've walked is about 1 block, maybe a block and half, but most of the time it's right near the truck. They do have plastic chairs to sit on if you want to eat there, but it's not comfortable. We usually grab and go back to the office. ”
“ Our 3rd time here.. I always get the tostada especial (octopus & shrimp) but today, I decided to try the tostada salpicon (imitation crab, shrimp, octopus)... it was a huge letdown because it was like 85 percent imitation crab and few small pieces of shrimp/octopus. I didn't get to finish all of it and threw it away. Next time, I'll stick to the especial! Overall, it's a cool place when you're craving ceviche. They are generous with the tostadas- you can always ask for more! Will try the seafood cocktail next time. Parking is easy but the street is really busy. ”
“ Tacos dorados always hit the spot I can eat here multiple times a week. Deep fried shrimp tacos with slices of avocado and their hot sauce ”
“ I love their shrimp cocktail. Flavorful and fresh. Perfect lunch for me since I didn't want anything too heavy. Comes with tostadas and crackers. ”
