Mariscos El Prieto - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was a stark contrast between the quality of the food and service, and the surrounding environment. While the food and service were exceptional, receiving perfect scores, the atmosphere was unacceptable. The area is frequently used by the homeless as a personal bathroom, which raises major health concerns. I have witnessed people defecating, urinating, and bathing in this area. There is also uncertainty about the water source they are using, which may be the same waterline utilized by the food truck. The risk of contamination is high if the food is not handled properly, and even a minor mistake could lead to a serious illness. If the E-Bike issue that occurred a few years ago has taught me anything, it's that you can still catch an illness by just being around these unsanitary conditions. Until the homeless issue is resolved, I cannot recommend eating here. Be careful and enjoy at your own risk.

This is a friendly place. I enjoyed the courtesy consommé soups. I currently can't locate the truck, and I wish I could be a better tipper.

My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. The fish tacos were extremely salty, and the tostada was very hard. The fish itself was also not good. To make matters worse, I didn't receive any broth, and there were many flies in the place. Considering the tacos were expensive at $3. 30 each, I would suggest looking for other places, folks.

My experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was good, earning a high rating. However, the service was significantly lacking, as it took over 30 minutes for a single order of agua chile. This long wait made the overall experience not worth it.

My experience at this Mexican food truck was fantastic, especially for a place that sells great seafood! I absolutely loved their oysters; they were fresh and had a delightful bit of spice, pairing perfectly with their chipotle sauce 😋😋😋. The fish taco, while not the absolute best I've ever had, was still good. The lady taking orders was incredibly nice and friendly, and her ability to speak both English and Spanish was a huge plus. The convenience of plenty of parking next to the truck and ample seating under the tent made the overall experience very comfortable.

My experience at this fish taco truck in San Diego was a mixed bag. The food was absolutely the best I've had from a taco truck. However, I was very disappointed because they used to offer a buy-one-get-one deal on Tuesdays, and that's no longer the case. This change has made me very angry, and I've stopped tipping because of it.

I don't think the food has good flavor. I bought a black toast and it was terrible, too salty. The chairs and table are terrible to sit on, in very bad condition. I don't want to offend you, but you need to make changes.

My experience at the restaurant was extremely disappointing. The food quality has dropped significantly. I was served a stinky taco that was clearly spoiled. There's a complete lack of decency when it comes to cleanliness; the salsa containers are black with grime on the lids. Everything feels very outdated, and it's not cheap at all.

This was my first time trying this place, and my son brought us here, claiming it had the best seafood in SD. Hands down, he was right! There was favor in every bite. Although they skipped some ingredients in the campechana, the taste was still great! I will definitely be back!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially on Tuesdays. I highly recommend their fish tacos, which are arguably the best around. They are served as part of a BOGO deal on Tuesdays. The tacos themselves are generously sized with a great piece of fish. I also enjoyed the great sauces and the seasoned onions. While I haven't explored much beyond the tacos due to their deliciousness, I noticed they have a huge menu. The food quality was a perfect 5/5, but the atmosphere was only a 2/5.
