Seven Lives continues to be the standard for fish tacos. No matter where I go, I always compare it back to the coveted Seven Lives taco. After having these, other places will likely disappoint, so I would not come here if you expect to have decent fish tacos elsewhere. The Baja Fish and Gobernator are my top orders, and 2 is usually enough (so you can stuff yourself with other goodies in Kensington). The ceviche comes open-faced on a hard shell, which is difficult to eat with a plastic fork and usually a mess...so I've only attempted it a few times. The self-serve hot sauces on the side have plenty of kick (the first time I put too much and couldn't taste the fish). Still one of my favourite places in town.
Service is usually quick, even if the line goes out the door. Seating can be awkward as it's by the wall or a shared table inside. There are a few patio tables outside when it's warmer. Opening hours are sometimes erratic, but when it get it you'll love it.
