" I keep coming back to Mariscos El Prieto because the food is truly delicious! The seafood is fresh and well-seasoned. However, I've noticed the portion sizes have fluctuated on my visits. Some days it feels like I'm getting a lot, while other days it's noticeably less. Still, I can't resist their fish tacos; they're simply the best! Overall, the food is worth every penny, but a bit more consistency with the portions would be appreciated. " (*Curated Review*)

" I want to express how much I love the cheese-filled fish tacos at Mariscos El Prieto! Each time I visit, the fish is always cooked perfectly, and the flavor combinations are nothing short of divine. If you're seeking authentic Mexican seafood, look no further.

" I can't recommend this food truck enough! The ceviche is to die for and the fish tacos are out of this world. What’s even more impressive is the consistency of flavor across all my visits. The lines can get a little long during peak hours, but it’s worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family visited El Prieto last weekend, and we had a great time! The variety on the menu made it hard to choose. I opted for fish tacos and was not disappointed. It was great to see all the condiments available, definitely enhances the meal. The wait time was a little long, but they are super busy. Will certainly come back with friends! " (*Curated Review*)
