Here’s a question for you: Do we really need another Mexican joint in the Alum Rock area? No, we do not. But please beware; Maricos el Aguachile 8 is not another Mexican joint. It is an incredibly delicious seafood restaurant.
I had the Tacos de Camaron. Three shrimp tacos with crispy tortilla shells, a spicy mayo drizzle, a Mexican style slaw, and wonderfully prepared shrimp. The shrimp had wonderful flavor which could be enhanced by fresh lime wedges. I am not one for hyperbole, but these were some of the best shrimp tacos I have ever had.
My wife had the Camarones al Ajillo. The plate had warm, fluffy rice, and a mountain of fresh shrimp garnished by sauteed and pickled onions, a tasty tomato-based sauce, and fresh cilantro. I snuck a taste, and it was fabulous.
Jose Rodriquez, the proprietor, sat with us at our table and told us how he went from cooking at home to owning a food truck, and now opening a restaurant. He lives locally, and shared his plans for outdoor dining as well as improving the exterior aesthetics. He was very pleasant, and I wish him the best of luck with the restaurant.
Let me warn you that this food, while delicious, is on the pricier side. Our 2 meals with 2 beers cost us around $90 with tip. But eating out anywhere, especially seafood, can be pretty expensive. I certainly can’t fault Jose because the man has to make a profit.
So if you are craving tasty, Mexican seafood, then Maricos el Aguachile 8 is absolutely worth it.

Hands down the best Mexican sea food in town! Their aguachiles are their speciality and a personal favorite… but don’t skip the hot menu, full or tasty and cozy flavors! Their camarones a la diabla are the very best, and so are their shrimp tacos
Make sure to go to their new location in Alum Rock ( 3130 Alum Rock Avenue, San Jose)

The mariscos here will bring you back to LIFE. A must go to cure a cruda. The osteones preparados were 20/10! Aguachiles were spicy, but very good. Portions were adequate with prices. Aguachiles plate can feed up to 4 people for sure.
Seating is outdoors in a spacious tent.

My in laws always ask to go here when they visit from Mexico because it’s better than the aguachiles in Mexico! It’s better than any restaurant. If you like spicy fresh seafood this is the place! As a bonus they only serve high quality tostadas too. Cash only. Owner is awesome! There’s some covered outdoor seating in front of the truck

Delicious food truck! We got the aguachiles with green salsa with cooked shrimp, but the owner was so nice and decided to make us a mixed plate with some salsa roja! The sweetest! If you are able to handle spice I would say get a level 3 but if not don’t since it was a little spicy for my friends. Also make sure to bring cash since they don’t accept card payments! There is an ATM in the gas station that it is parked in though and across the street there are several stores that do cash back.

Best mariscos in the Bay Area! Amazing food and great service. Everything on the menu is fire, but the Aguachile Negro is my favorite. If you love mariscos, you won’t regret trying this spot!

I’ve been seeing this place all over my Instagram so I decided to check them out. The owner Pepe was so nice and the food was amazing. I will say I whimped out at spice level 2 since they go all the way to spice level 12. But this is definitely a great place to come with a beer (BYOB) and hangout with the community.
