    The service and setup is great - 5 stars. The flavor of the breading in the breaded fish/shrimp, however, was extremely meh - NOT worth the 2,000 calories/taco - 1 star, per taco. I have a feeling the quesadillas and burritos are amazing tho; didn't try.

    We discovered the camaron express on our daily walk to the beach. The place is always full so we decided to test it. The place is a nice simple seafood place. We ordered some shrimp and fish tacos Baja, fish tacos a la plancha and ceviche. The order size are generous, the price is more than fare and the tacos Baja and a la plancha were good. The tacos Baja were not the best tacos Baja we've ever had but are tasty. The ceviche was a little flavorless for our taste, for our taste it was prepared with too less lemon. They have a salad bar so you grab some salad for the tacos. The salad was OK but a little traditional Pico de gallo and cilantro is missing, that accompanies great the tacos Baja. We ordered some nice 1 liter micheladas as well. :) The music from the TV was kind of loud but in general the place has a typical Mexican street food vibe. We would come eat again a taco when passing by. For a good price you can get a decent seafood taco.

    I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t give this place 5 stars. This place runs like a well oiled machine! The food is served in minutes- like 5 minutes. It’s fresh, it’s delicious, and the young group running this place are top notch.

    Value and taste meet here. The Aguachile (spicy shrimp ceviche) is life changing! If you order it, one will more than likely fill you up. My wife loved the Camaron Plancha (grilled) taco and it looked great.The salsa bar is sufficient but could be just a bit better. Still, I would say don't miss out on this place.

    Great local café. A super shrimp cocktail. The large size can feed at least 2 people. It comes in a V8 style sauce. I've never had anything like it. It's a full dinner for one.

  • 4/5 Wayne M. 4 months ago on Google
    Lunch here. 1 taco pescado, I taco camaron, 1 hamburger. Both tacos were very good. Arrived quickly. Condiments for the tacos are centrally located and you need to get up from the table and get it yourself. Hamburger was satisfactory. Fries were very good. Ketchup bottle does not have ketchup in it. It’s the Mexican version. Loud music. Servers attentive and food arrived quickly. Prices were reasonable. For me it’s a 4.

    I dined here twice and got to go once. The food was scrumptious and the service was indeed express.. perfect for impatient Westerners who are used to "fast food". This food was fresh. I wish I could have taken some of their guacamole home with me to Philly!!!

    One of our go to Mariscos. Love the tuna tostada! I don't care for the open buffet for condiments but all the food we've tried there has been good. The agua frescas and margaritas are great!

  • 5/5 Pamela Bellah Seattle & Eastside R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great modest dine-outside option…Chile Relleno was out of this world- the best we’ve both ever had- and only $3.00. The shrimp was perfect too. Total cost for a large lemonade, shrimp, quesadilla, and 3 Rellenos was $15.79!

  • 4/5 Mika P. 1 year ago on Google
    Service could have been better. Good was really good and very reasonable price. Margarita was super strong. I like that I could see my food being cooked

  • 5/5 Ali K. 1 year ago on Google
    Insanely amazing fish tacos. The ABSOLUTE BEST in Puerto Vallarta. Highly recommend. We came here everyday after trying so hard to find other places for fish tacos

  • 5/5 Matt Z. 1 year ago on Google
    We love you, Memo! He's such a great cook and foremost, a wonderful person. We tried Toritaco with shrimp, quesadilla with shrimp, and grilled fish tacos. Yum!

  • 3/5 Al F. 1 year ago on Google
    I tried the shrimp burrito. It was ok. I did go there on the recommendation of fantastic shrimp quesadillas. I had the burrito because it is one of my favorites. However I am going to give them another try for the quesadilla, but other places have much better burritos.

    This place is fast, good, and cheap! Everything is made fresh. You can see people constantly food prepping by chopping up carrots, limes, and radishes. They work to serve you quickly and send you on your way, but at the same time they don’t rush you out. After all, it’s express, right? It was full of locals so we knew we made the right choice. There are about 5-6 tables and you can sit at the juice bar to eat, too. They have a buffet for the different sauces and types of picantes you may want on your food. We had the shrimp ceviche and fish taco.

    This is a great seafood restaurant. The shrimp burrito is my favorite. The service is always friendly and the prices are reasonable. They have a small outdoor play area for kids.

  • 4/5 Joe P. 1 year ago on Google
    Prices are low for the food you get and the food is good; however, the food is not great. Good place to grab something quick to eat at a low price.

  • 5/5 Kimberly P. 3 years ago on Google
    On the side of the street, next to office Depot's parking lot and between a bunch of construction. Yep! Sound sketchy but this place is awesomeness! Friendly staffs, fresh seafood, inexpensive and phenomenal tacos. What is there not to like ;) Don't let the little shack fool you. Make sure to stop in and get that fried fish taco. Is crispy, is juicy, is heavenly delicious with fresh garnish and tortilla wrap. I guarantee you will be a happy and chubby camper after having a meal here . Lol

    My mother and I tried this place out when visiting Puerto Vallarta. This is a good cheep place to eat and service was pretty good. Quality of food was what you would expect going to a place that is close to a fast food restaurant. I had their fried fish tacos and my mother had the grilled fish. The taco bar was a nice addition to be able to make up your tacos how you would like them. Definitely give them a try if your visiting the area. Seems to be a favorite with the locals in town.

  • 5/5 nismosrt 1 year ago on Google
    Best shrimp tacos I've had here so far! Would highly recommend the plancha (grilled) tacos. Comes with sauteed onions and avocada. Toppings station for you to choose what you want to add.

  • 3/5 Fernando G M. 1 year ago on Google
    First time in this place. I enjoyed the service from waiter. The ceviche tostada was very good. But the marlin fish was not good at all. Also we asked for huachinango fish a las brasas and they brought it marinated with a funny flavor and also half fish. Kind of misleading. The burrito supposed to be mixed Merlin, shrimp and octopus.it was really not good. Too much cheese, too much of the so called Merlin fish with vegetables and the sweet red sauce. The burrito didn’t have any octopus at all and a few pieces of shrimp. Overall the place is nice and service is very good. But the food lack of flavor and misleading amounts. I will probably won’t go back.

    This place is so amazing!! My family and I were staying at Plaza Pelicano Grand Beach Resort and the food was terrible. We found this gem walking around. The food is so delicious! We had a medium ahi tuna ceviche that literally had a pound of fresh ahi tuna. I love the umami marinate and the buttery avocado. The tacos were one of the best I’ve ever had. The Baja shrimp were fried perfectly and the grilled fish had garlic and acid. My favorite part was you can put your own toppings on. I loved the pineapple slaw with the mint. Their mayo taco sauce was so flavorful too. The best part was they do takeout and our meal was $16 USD for a huge- medium ahi tuna ceviche and 4 tacos!!! That would never happen in the US! They also have ice cream in a shell with awesome flavors-elote, coconut, mango, pineapple, etc. The staff are so friendly and helpful too. We ended up eating here 3 times!! I wish they shipped to Canada!

    They have some of the best shrimp tacos in Versailles and Puerto vallarta, but their service is not consistent and sometimes they are quite slow. It would be great if they had an actual indoor dining area because sometimes the flies can be a little pesty, but overall they are a wonderful place to visit over and over. They're just missing that special something that I would give them five stars for. But the food is great.

  • 5/5 Jess G. 2 years ago on Google
    We fell in love with this place. It was just about a half a block from our resort so we ended us eating there three times. The fish tacos and shrimp quesadillas were so darn good!!! Great prices, the whole family could eat for about 550 pesos! Very helpful and friendly service! We can't wait to get back to Puerto Vallarta and go back to Camarón Express!!!!

  • 5/5 Mark C. 2 years ago on Google
    Mouth watering. Full gluten-free available. Even corn batter it you want fried fish or shrimp.....the fish is the way to go. Super cheap and with the "salad bar" salsas, sauces, veggies, etc. So filling and so delicious. I've been twice and will take my wife tomorrow.

  • 3/5 Lisa H. 2 years ago on Google
    Hubby and I were walking by when we spotted this cute taco stand. We both preferred Ordered shrimp tacos. Fresh ingredients and ample portions. Also ordered guacamole, which was also good. Only thing if would change is the shrimp are fried in a batter. Didn't really work for us. A simple grilled shrimp would be perfect.

  • 3/5 Candace D. 2 years ago on Google
    Very slow service but food is yummy. I had to ask for my change but the drinks were great.
