Their Camarones Cucarachas once made the list of best dishes in East LA. These shrimp are fried in the shell and covered with a sweet and sizzling red sauce with pungent garlic, plenty of paprika, a dash of cayenne and anything else that burns. The flavor is there, the taste is great, but the shrimp are a bit mushy, which is the only thing I would change.
Move on to an even spicier Camaron Aguachile Tostada, a bold green chile water with perky peppers and sour lime.
Tacos Gobernador are a secret menu item, a cheese-filled taco of jumbo shrimp, fried on the outside so the cheese forms a crispy crust. Dip in a smoky, spicy black salsa that hurts so good.
I love Mariscos Linda. Their food isn't fancy, but it is unapologetically theirs and that they're not afraid to make it the way it's supposed to be; full of spice and full of flavor. If you can't take the heat, get a glass of milk and order anyway.
