Overview
Mariscos Jalisco is a legendary Los Angeles institution, widely considered to serve the best shrimp tacos in the city. Founded by Raul Ortega in 2002, this humble food truck turned brick-and-mortar success has earned a permanent spot on the LA Times '101 Best Restaurants' list and received praise from culinary icons like Jonathan Gold. The signature dish, Tacos de Camaron, features a secret shrimp blend folded into a tortilla and deep-fried until crispy, then topped with fresh salsa roja and avocado. While the Boyle Heights truck is the original and most famous location, the business has expanded to include several other outposts across Southern California.
