" I had high hopes after hearing so many great things, but my visit to Germán’s ended on a disappointing note. The fish tacos lacked seasoning and tasted quite plain compared to what I'd heard. Unfortunately, I wasn't thrilled with the service either; it felt rushed and impersonal. The complimentary soup was nice, but it didn't quite redeem the experience for me. Perhaps I caught them on a bad day? Overall, I might give it another shot since others seem to rave about it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've always had a great experience at this food truck! The shrimp tacos are a feast for the senses - deliciously seasoned and substantial. They even offer a complimentary seafood soup while you wait, which is a nice touch. Although they can be quite busy during peak hours, the food quality remains impressive. I recommend arriving slightly before the lunch rush for a shorter wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" This food truck has a unique charm about it. The food is delicious and fresh, especially the ceviche and fish tacos. Unfortunately, I had a long wait time, but the complimentary soup was a nice addition while waiting. The only bad experience was the cleanliness of the setup. Slightly overpriced for a food truck, but I'll still come back for that flavor! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just came back from Germán's, and wow! I was really impressed with everything. The shrimp cocktail was divine, fresh with plenty of lime. The fish tacos were crispy and flavorful, but I wish they had more options for toppings. The only downside was finding seating; but hey, it's a food truck, after all! I appreciate that they offer a small cup of seafood soup while you wait. Service was decent, but it could be better in terms of speed. All in all, I would definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" An unexpected culinary delight! The fish tacos are phenomenal, cooked to order, and you can tell it's fresh. The shrimp cocktail was equally impressive, with a generous amount of shrimp and a zesty sauce on the side. It’s worth noting that parking can be a hassle and the seating situation is not ideal since it’s a food truck. But the flavors will make you forget about that while you enjoy your meal. Overall, a fantastic experience - will definitely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I honestly don't get the big hype around this food truck. The fish tacos were basic, and the shrimp ceviche was too tangy for my taste. Service was adequate, but not overly friendly. I accidentally dropped my taco and the staff offered minimal assistance. The prices seem quite high given the lack of ambiance and seating. I probably won't return unless I hear something has changed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fish tacos that transport you straight to the coast of Mexico! The freshness is a standout quality, and the crispy batter on the tacos hits the spot. They offer a great variety, which I am keen to explore next time. However, I did have to wait longer than I would have liked and the crowd can be overwhelming at times. Still, with such authentic flavors, I can't complain too much. Leave space for their seafood soup while you wait - it's a delightful prelude to your meal! " (*Curated Review*)
