" While visiting friends in the area, we decided to give this seafood truck a shot. To say it exceeded expectations would be an understatement. The ceviche was outstanding and the shrimp tacos were packed with flavor. The atmosphere felt friendly, and the prices were perfect for what you get. Definitely worth stopping by next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited this seafood truck and were delighted with our meals. We ordered the mixed ceviche and shrimp empanadas - both delicious! The service was quick and staff were hospitable. My only complaint was that it could get quite crowded during busy hours, but that just speaks to how popular the place is. Definitely a solid choice for seafood lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the pleasure of trying Mariscos El Primo recently and I was highly impressed! The fried fish tacos were crispy, fresh, and both light and satisfying. The service was swift, and they kept everything clean. It’s nice how simplicity can breed such wonderful quality. I’ll definitely spread the word about this treasure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I dropped by the other day, and the experience was wonderful! The variety in mariscos was a big plus; I tried a little bit of everything. From the ceviche to the tostadas, I was satisfied with each bite. The service was really good, and I appreciated the friendly atmosphere. A great spot that's well worth the visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food is commendable, but do be warned that the seating options are minimal. A mix of amazing shrimp cocktails and happy hour ceviche make the overall experience enjoyable. I had the mango habanero tostada and left wishing I had ordered more! I would recommend this spot to friends. I will be coming back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" A truly delightful experience! The mariscos from El Primo are some of the freshest I’ve ever had. I was particularly impressed with the shrimp tacos, which had a great kick to them. The standalone seating might be a concern for some, but the quality of food more than makes up for it! I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Upon my recent visit to Mariscos El Primo, I was particularly impressed with their shrimp ceviche. The balance of flavors was perfect, and they packed a generous portion. The truck itself is quite functional, but don’t expect a fancy setting. It’s all about the food here. Service was friendly, and despite the wait, the experience was enjoyable. I would recommend this spot for anyone craving authentic mariscos. " (*Curated Review*)
