I'm not sure when the West LA location opened, but I found out about it on this subreddit and now don't have to travel as far for the glory that is Mariscos Jalisco. Now that I can go more regularly I can try other things besides the Tacos de Cameron.
Pictured above is the beautiful and delicious Tostada Mixta: "tostada with fish ceviche topped with avocado, whole shrimp, octopus & veggies." I also had the Tostada Poseidon a previous time, but it was slightly too spicy for my taste. Are either of these actually better than the famed Tacos de Cameron? No… I don't think so. But all of the menu items seem to me to be worth trying. Which are your go-to items?

I’d say La Cienega is right in midcity and not the west side. Definitely nice to have a location closer than DTLA though.
Just started going to this place with some regularity. Love the posideon. Burns my face off for a couple minutes but so good.
Their Coctéles: Camarón / Campechana are a must at Jalisco
Mariscos 4 vientos coctéles are water in comparison
They come already packed with flavor & lime, not spicy at all – just add tapatío for a kick
(Also if you do make the drive, Mariscos Linda is 5min down Olympic from Jalisco – their coctéles/aguachiles are also must try)
All you westsiders just hit the fucking food jackpot.
wowzers – didnt’ know there was a mariscos Jalisco on La Cienega. Leos is on la cienega too
Poseidon is my go to…with extra Valentina (or whatever giant orange-ish hot sauce bottle they have). It’s absolutely painful…but so worth it. Then a hit of a shrimp taco with the avocado to help soothe the heat. Every time I’m stuck in traffic on the 5 or whatever in that area I’m like…what if i just exit here and wait out traffic…
posiedon tostada, 3 shrimp tacos (salsa on the side, so they stay qwispy)
Kind of off topic, but can anyone explain to me what the famous tacos de Camaron are like? Is it like a ground shrimp type of thing, or whole shrimps? I’ve yet to try them but have been thinking about it for awhile now.
