Been meaning to try Fresco and I was in the shopping center so I figured why not. Fresco is a modern fast service take on Mexican food. The decor is nice and clean with bright colors and a good feel.
At Fresco you order your food, pay and then they bring the food out in a couple of minutes. Service was just fine, but it was a quiet day. I ordered the Baja Fish Tacos and got 3 soft tacos with flour tortillas on a platter with a nice portion of crispy chips. For a place like this, the presentation was very nice with the food looking good and attractively arranged.
The fried ocean perch was well prepared and very tasty, crisp breading surrounded a nice sized portion of mild fish. The shredded cabbage added a nice crunch. The creamy sauce was advertised as cilantro, but it was hard to taste any.
Fresco stresses its Salsa Bar and while they had a decent selection I found most of the items to lack a certain zip. Nothing was bad, it just seemed that the flavor profiles were a bit flat. Also the signs don't indicate how hot each salsa is, which would have been helpful.
Overall Fresco does a pretty good job at a decent price. I would have liked a bit more risk taking in the flavors, especially when there is a Barrio location not too far away.
