Ricky’s Fish Tacos, a beloved food truck, has been serving some of the best fish and shrimp tacos in Los Angeles since 2009. Founded by Ricky Piña, the truck initially started in Silver Lake with a makeshift fryer and later moved to Los Feliz and Hollywood before its recent relocation to Kern County.

Menu Highlights

The menu at Ricky’s Fish Tacos is straightforward yet delicious. The main attractions are the fish tacos, which are freshly fried and topped with pico de gallo and raw cabbage. The fish is garlic-brined and battered with a blend of flour, baking powder, yellow mustard, mayonnaise, and salt. Shrimp tacos are also available, and lobster tacos are occasionally offered.

Unique Features

One of the standout features of Ricky’s Fish Tacos is the fresh preparation of each taco. This can result in a wait, but it ensures that every taco is made to order and served fresh. Additionally, the truck offers a variety of sauce options, including squeeze bottles of salsa, crema Mexicana, and hot sauces.

Our Verdict

Ricky’s Fish Tacos offers an authentic Baja-style dining experience with freshly prepared, deliciously flavored fish and shrimp tacos. The food truck’s commitment to quality and freshness is evident in every bite, although it may result in longer wait times. Despite its recent relocation to Kern County, Ricky’s Fish Tacos remains a must-visit for taco enthusiasts.
