    We were in Key West during the beautiful week of Dec. 13-18, 2020. Denny, a local who runs The Coconut Key West poolside bar at The Palms Hotel, told us about Pescado. The food truck was not only conveniently within walking distance of our hotel, it came highly recommended by several locals as well... and... It did not disappoint! We devoured our meals. We each ordered a whole, fried fish. (A special not on the menu... just ask for or request it.) It came with rice and beans, crisp greens, and tomatoes. The fish was the star of the show. It was perfectly done. The seasoning on the fish was light and tasty. It wasn't blanketed in a heavy batter. The food was freshly prepared and quickly cooked. They make their own salsas and sauces. The place was clean and the service was great! The people were friendly and wore smiles. We told several people about our experience. They went the same day and also loved the food. Our dog loved the fish too. She got what we couldn't eat of the heads and tails. Huge portions. Reasonably priced. Spacious, outdoor seating, takeout, delivery. No concerns here during the year of covid. We will keep telling others and return again!!! Muchas gracias Senora Bonita y Luis.😉

    Delicious and very good food at this food truck located beside the Chevron gas station on the corner of Truman Ave and White St! The fish burrito was amazing and the house salad was excellent! French fries were hot and very good! Many different options to choose from including breakfast items as well! Open everyday except Sunday. Service was great and really fast! Open late into the evening. Plenty of outdoor seating available! Staff was very friendly and helpful! I recommend trying this place out if you’re looking for a great bite to eat between New Town and Old Town Key West! You will love it!

    Food was super tasty and fulfilling! Good portions and very fair pricing for the area! Fish tacos had alot of toppings and was nicely fried. Chicken burrito was massive and filing. Overall, awesome food and prices!

    Mahi mahi was amazing! Best seafood we have had on the island so far. (Golden fried fish basket) The key lime sauce was to die for 🤤 and the Blackened shrimp Burrito was awesome!

    Came here based on the reviews and they were right. Very good tacos. The wife and I had the fish (grilled) tacos, 3 to an order, her with house salad as the side, mine with coleslaw, with a tiny spice hint, ooh very good. If you want to some good quick street eats from a solid food truck then this is the spot....

    Food was Great! My 11 year old daughter said "on a scale of 1-10, I'd give this food 10.5. service was also really good. Highly recommend. If your looking for something good and reasonable priced in key west. Pescado should be your first stop. It's next to a gas station, and I didn't see it the first time I drove past, but we will go back again!

    Really great food! We had the shrimp and fish baskets with key lime sauce/chipotle sauce, and you can tell how much love was put into the food. Location may be somewhat remote for tourists but that honestly makes it even better :)

    Just DoorDashed this place and OMG all I can say is I love you! I’ll be craving the shrimp quesadilla when I back to Houston, I ate it before I was able to get a picture but these are the fried fish tacos that were amazing too!

    Highly recommended to friends and family! Best food truck; great service! The seafood is outstanding and always fresh; the prices are low for the quality of seafood you get. The seating is outside and has great shaded places to enjoy your fresh food

    Very easy to get to. Needed something quick and tasty. Very lively atmosphere. I like the sit down experience but I've not had a bad experience with food trucks. This place was no exception. Blackened fish tacos were exceptional. Quality and freshness was top notch.

    We went around 9 pm and had no wait. The service was fast and friendly. We bought two orders of blackened chicken tacos (w/no pico) they came with french fries and we also purchased 2 icy cold canned Cokes. The fries were seasoned which was an awesome surprise! The tacos were perfection. The avocado salsa was limey and delicious. I think $12 for 3 tacos is decent for the area, where food is $$$. We were very happy with this dinner!

    This place is a food truck in the parking lot of a gas station, as bad as that may sound, the food is really good. They had a nice little seating area outside with umbrellas to keep the sun off you. We had shrimp tacos that came with fries, both were super good. Inside the gas station next-door, they have a cooler by the front door with ice and beer for two bucks or less. Recommended.

    Little food truck beside a gas station that ended up being some of the best food we had in Key West! Ordered the buffalo shrimp quesadillas and blackened fish tacos. Incredible! Served with some awesome salsa and guac!

    While enjoying my time at the pool, feeling a bit tipsy, hunger struck, and I decided to find some food nearby. Driving was out of the question, so I googled the nearest place, and it led me to this delightful spot. I ordered two burgers, one for me and one for my son, and surprisingly, I ended up eating both as they were unbelievably good – the best food I've had in Key West. Compliments to the chef! I'll definitely be coming back for more.

    I come here often. I just absolutely love it. I got the breakfast burrito today and it was AMAZING! Large size and just fresh delicious veggies. YUM! Thank you Pescado food truck. :)

    One of the best food trucks I’ve ever visited! By far best food in Key West you could find! Fresh fried fish basket to grilled fish 🌮! So yummy 😋, this guys do a great job friendly and delicious food! Fried Fish basket was a great treat with fries. Along with grilled fish tacos 🌮 so yummy!

    I've had their po boys and fish tacos multiple times! Very good food and very good people. However, the prices have increased, which is understandable, but the portion size has gotten smaller 😩.
