Mariscos Mar-Es (CLOSED)

For old-school mariscos fans, there’s nothing more satisfying than a simple mixed seafood coctel served with a couple tostadas. If you’d prefer to experience a newer, zanier side of Mexican seafood, head to this Arts District lunchtime seafood truck, where new-school creations like octopus con papas ($6), smoked marlin tacos dorados with Oaxaca cheese ($2.50) and some seriously great shrimp aguachile ($7.50) await. While you’ll find the classics here, we’d rather steer you towards the new-school stuff, like the Peruvian-inspired ceviche blanco and the excellent aguachile rojo. Be sure to check ahead on Instagram before going to see if Mar-Es is open—the truck closes for catering gigs from time to time and occasionally decamps to Alhambra.
