Great food, the lady who takes your order is awesome! Seating is limited but the park is across the street so that's the best bonus of all

OK, these are some of the most delicious tacos I’ve ever had. This place used to be in front of some supermarket but now they’re by the VFW at Lindo Lake Park. I especially love the shrimp tacos with the delicious coleslaw and the most fantastic sauce. Five stars I’ll be updating this with photos once I can remember to take some before I inhale these lol.

Best hidden gem in Lakeside (or wherever it is)!!! This little truck has the very best grilled shrimp burritos and fish tacos EVER. We have lived in East County for over 25 years and sampled every grilled shrimp burrito and fish taco in a 15 mile radius. Promise- you will not be disappointed. We just had a party of 20 people who mostly just ordered the grilled shrimp burrito (ordered the day before) and they all loved it. It's a big burrito, so we always cut it in half and eat the other half for lunch.... And it's good COLD like a sandwich the next day. Sounds weird but it's literally just as good cold. We also got about 4 shrimp ceviche to share around. That’s good too. Oh and don't forget the chipotle mayo and green sauce! It is our Friday night regular stop on the way home after a busy week. Ambiance is just a parking lot but the little Hispanic market there also has the best no-name brand tortillla chips and fresh tortillas. So we shop while we wait for our food. So that's why we also line the ambiance!

The shrimp tacos are the bomb! Made to order just like you asked! Mine are shrimp tacos light on the cabbage extra jalapeno sauce. Customer service is always great! The only down is it's cash only but other than that can't be beat! I'm so glad East county has this little gem!
