| - I have an old-fashioned standard about fish tacos, which many taco places in Toronto fail. A fish taco's focus is the fish fillet and the tortilla, not the garnishments. Garnishments make a taco tastes better and unique, but they cannot replace the importance of the fish fillet. Many taco places I have been to in Toronto want to wow customers with garnishments, but they go cheap on the fish. They either use fish fillets not fresh enough, or choose a type of fish that is not meaty AND make the fillet too small, so the texture of the fillet is completely overshadowed by a big pile of garnishments. The Combine Eatery passes the standard. Yes, the tacos are expensive The fillets are Basa fillets, a non-meaty fish. Yet the fillet is big enough that the fish flavour comes through the garnishments, which are fresh. The texture of the fish fillet stand up to the volume of the garnishments. The fillet is fresh. The diner controls the spiciness level of the taco. And this, my friends, is how I like a fish taco.
