| - Very nice - I'm very happy to have finally made it here because I'd been craving a good fish taco like crazy!
The tacos here are $5 each, double-tortilla-ed, and sort of on the small side. I need to eat 3 to be full, but then again, I have a massive appetite.
I liked the agua fresca (and the price is right at $2/cup). The first time I had pineapple - it was nice and refreshing, though it kinda reminded me of sweetened, diluted pineapple juice (which I guess is what agua fresca is, anyway). I liked the chunks of pineapple pulp, though the superthin straws made it kinda hard to drink.
The next time I had a hisbiscus agua fresca. Interesting, although it didn't taste floral at all - it tasted more like a slightly tart stone fruit, like plum or something. It was ok.
Here's the rundown of the tacos I've tried:
Baja Fish - Tasty, and they were pretty generous with the amount of fish inside, which was nice. The batter was beautifully seasoned, which made them stand out because a lot of places that serve fried fish don't do so. I felt that the batter could have been thinner, however. I liked the condiments and veggies inside - shredded cabbage and a couple sauces. This was good.
Gobernador - The smoked fish and the shrimp worked well together. Smoked fish in a taco was totally new to me and I liked it. The shrimp was fresh and good quality.
Camarones al Diablo - The spicy shrimp was nice. I didn't see the face of God, as a previous Yelper attested, but I really liked it. The sauce was savoury, slightly tart, and a little bit spicy. I also love how fresh and high quality the shrimp was. I really dislike how some places have brined/baking soda-ed shrimp, which makes the texture weird. The shrimp here is dense and fresh and meaty.
Pulpo - The octopus was very nice! Grilled to perfection and not overcooked to a rubbery mess, which is very easy to do. There was plenty of octopus inside, which I really appreciated, and it was simply and delicously spiced.
Catch of the Day (Red Snapper) - Probably my favourite. It was spiced to perfection, grilled just right, and beautifully flaky. There was also a generous amount of fish inside. Loved this so much.
Tips:
*cash only
*they sell out of certain ones and lineups can be long - go at odd hours if you want a seat and go early if you want to be able to choose any item
*apparently dogs are not allowed in the restaurant
*unless you're a heavy smoker/have no nerves, I wouldn't go for the hot sauce - it was so hot I couldn't taste anything afterwards, even after I skimmed it off my taco! @.@
*it can get messy, but luckily they have forks, wet naps, and plenty of serviettes available
I hope to try their ceviche one day!
