Reviews For The Fat Panda

We got the camaron and pulpo coctel y ceviche mixto. Todo estuvo muy sabroso! If I'm ever in town again, I will definitely come back again. Totally hit the spot. Not much on the menu for smaller kids. Park next door and not in the parking lot with the tables. We almost didn't go because we thought they didn't have a restroom or somewhere to sit since it's a food truck. There are plenty of tables and there's is a restroom (not the nicest but a restroom so we're good). I was thinking of this spot for days! So so good.

The best Mariscos I've had in a very long time. We had the Campechana, tostada de ceviche de camaron cosido and tostada de camaron y pulpo. I didn't even have to add more limon or chile or sal. Outdoor seating only with tents. Very clean. Eat here!
