El Jarocho - Taqueria y Mariscos — Restaurant in Charlotte

This was my first time trying this food truck, and it’s one of the few, if not the only, trucks offering authentic Mexican seafood dishes. We ordered the seafood paella and tacos, and we were especially impressed by the paella. The portion size was generous and lasted us for about four meals. The person taking our order was very friendly and attentive, ensuring we got exactly what we wanted and even catered to our preference of making the paella more wet.

The campechano tacos were delicious and made with homemade tortillas, which added to the authentic taste.

The person at the front also shared that the truck is family-owned, and it’s clear they take great pride in serving...

DO NOT RECOMMEND! Had super high hopes for this place after reading reviews but im HIGHLY disappointed. I ordered a Mango ceviche , and Camarones a la Kora , the kora camarones don’t even begin to look how its supposed to or how its advertised on their page / pictures from the menu. It had an exaggerated amount of minced garlic EVERYWHERE. Taste was nothing at all what we were excepting. The worst I’ve tried for sure. I had barley started to eat the ceviche when i noticed a long piece of hair in it. Absolutely disgusting , i couldn’t even finish eating. The worst of it all was we paid $62 for these two plates and small sides of rice for it to be inedible....

Hands down, the freshest mariscos around!! The seafood here is high-quality and you can totally taste the freshness!! Everything was super clean, and the presentation was on point. They don’t nickel and dime you, portions are solid and you really get what you pay for. The octopus ceviche is a must try!!! Amazing flavor and perfect texture. The tacos? Easily the best I’ve ever had. Steak is my personal favorite! But they offer Birria and chicken as well… The entire place is spotless, and the food is next level!! We had a little family get-together and ordered from here, honestly, our only regret was not getting more. 20/10, five stars isn’t...
