Consistently great tacos, friendly owner, and delicious salsa... We go out of our way to frequent this truck whenever we can!

Good food they just need more taste on the ceviche but its fresh and fast service...resomended

Mariscos y Frutas Kyrios is a lonchera specializing in mariscos and fruit salads co-located in the parking lot of a large Normal Heights laundromat that has a typical regional Baja seafood menu of fish tacos, ceviches, cócteles, tostadas, and aguachiles. This was one of the very few humdrum mariscos truck experiences I've had in San Diego and not a truck I'd eat at again.

At $1.25, the price is right for their "Baja Fish Taco." Unfortunately, it is quite ordinary as fish tacos go, lacking a crispy batter on the fish. The squeeze-bottle salsa that I mistook (due to its color) for a chipotle cream sauce ended up being a habanero-infused scorcher, which helped - and the thick corn tortillas were alright (though pulled from a bag) but, other than that, I'd need to think a lot harder than I'm willing to for more nice things to write about this taco. Below average fish taco for San Diego and Southern California in general.

The "Marlin Taco" has all the components of what could be a good marlin taco: smoked braised fish, ensalada española, avocado, crema, and I especially loved the thick layer of white cheese, charred on the surface, gooey in the middle, yet crusted onto the corn tortilla. The problem is that the fish was just a bit "too much." I understand the fish in these tacos are usually not mild, and the smoke does take the edge off, but the strong, oily flavor was over-the-top for me. It tasted like how cat food smells. I know some people who enjoy these type of strong fish flavors and who would probably really be into this, but not my thing at all. It was not rancid or spoiled, just strongly flavored. This is due to either the prep or sourcing of the fish here at Mariscos y Frutas Kyrios, as I have found other marlin tacos around town to be much milder.

I am in love with these fish tacos! They are made fresh and you can taste the care that goes into the food. The sauces that are available are amazing! I love the chipotle sauce and the spicy green sauce. The service is great and the owner is wonderful and friendly. This is my go-to place for fish tacos.

Excellent fish tacos for only 1.25. very big and filling! Clean eating area. Parking on the street only.
