**** The Mariscos Tone Camaron trailer has been placed by the El Sazon de Nayarit Truck
Sometimes it’s just the smallest thing. A couple of weeks ago, I went to get my morning caffeine fix from Bay Park Coffee. I guess everyone else, and their mother decided that it would be a great time for an energy boost and there was no parking to be found on Napier or Ashton, so I had to park on Morena. While walking toward Napier, I noticed this trailer in the back of the Harland Tasting Room.
Interesting, a Mariscos Truck/Trailer was now in back of Harland. I guess they needed something to replace Rosemarie’s which was here for quite a long time until they got their own brick and mortar shop.
An interesting recent development is that the Missus enjoyed the Japanese Lager from June Lake Brewing, that I had Her try Harland’s version which She enjoyed even more! So, we decided to take a walk down Milton and check out Harland and the Mariscos trailer.
The place was fairly busy when we arrived. I ordered a Japanese Lager for the Missus and tried a sour.
The Missus said that She couldn’t tell the difference between the draft JL versus the canned.
The Raspberry Sour was very light and I think a good candidate as a “gateway sour”.
As for the food, it was done via QR code. And I’m guessing they do burgers as well as Mariscos?
As for the Mariscos, well, the name of the trailer includes “camaron” and that’s what they basically have; shrimp except for the $25 rib-eye tostada.
So, we ordered the “OG Shrimp Ceviche” and the Aguachile Verde Tostadas. In a nice touch, our order was delivered to our table.
The portion sizes for $12 was quite good, though we’ll be the first to say that the shrimp were really tough and rubbery. Each portion was enough to make three tostadas. Though I will say, it seems to us to be more about quantity than quality. The OG was really mild, lacking in spice, quite watery.
The Aguachile was better, with nice citrus tones.
The cucumbers were nice and palate cleansing and went well with the maize-y tostadas. Both dishes had a generous portion of creamy, mildly sweet avocado. It was still mild in terms of “heat”, but maybe that’s based on the demographic. This wasn’t bad, though it lacked a good amount of spice and seemed a bit dumbed down.
Overall, while not my first choice with regards to Mariscos, decently priced with fairly generous portion to price.
