Taco dorado de camaron (Jalisco-style fried shrimp taco) · Los Angeles
A crisp masa shell folded around chopped shrimp, smashed avocado, fresh tomato salsa and crema. The Jalisco-coast seafood taco that crossed into East LA.
Mariscos Jalisco rolled out of a Boyle Heights taco truck on East Olympic Boulevard in 2001 with a single signature, the taco dorado de camaron, which Jonathan Gold called one of the best tacos in Los Angeles. Owner Raul Ortega brought the recipe from San Juan de los Lagos in Jalisco, and the LA truck became the canonical reference for the fried shrimp taco. Holbox in Mercado La Paloma extends the Mexican seafood-taco vocabulary at a sit-down counter.
