About

Mariscos & Birria El Prieto is a beloved seafood destination in El Cajon, CA, where two food trucks stand side by side beneath a shared shade cover to create an open-air, communal dining experience. The menu spans fresh Mexican coastal cuisine, from bold aguachiles and ceviche to fish tacos, octopus tacos, and the signature Gobernador taco. Reviewers consistently rave about the aguachile de mango y tamarindo, the shrimp cocktail, and the shrimp quesadilla al Diablo. The casual, hole-in-the-wall atmosphere suits quick solo meals and relaxed family outings alike. El Prieto also has locations in Chula Vista and University Heights.
