| - So I admit.
I'm crazy.
I keep repeating the same thing, (dining here), expecting a different result, (a good dining experience/meal).
But they do have a bitchin' patio, and they are nestled in the middle of the CVNR!
Stopped here today for lunch.
Having spent several years in Southern California, I have a taste for fish tacos, and so does the lady.
Noting that they were grilled made the decision a no-brainer for us both.
Our server was a youngun' inexperience pervaded the day.
I had to explain to her the difference between brewed iced tea and fountain iced tea, and I still got what I think was an incorrect answer, (that they served fountain tea.)
But who am i to challenge the waitstaff?
Diet Cokes around, and water for me in anticipation of sketchy service.
The latter was a good call!
The tacos took forever to arrive, and our glasses were never filled during the wait.
When the tacos were quickly dumped off, she stared at our empty glasses and asked if there was anything else we wanted, and of course we asked for refills, and as she shot away with our glasses, I tried to shout after her that two sets of service would be great, but no ears heard our plea. And after waiting forever again for the refills and a shot at a second request for napkins and silverware, the lady skipped up to the bar area and secured our necessaries. Oh great! Now I have to tip her as well!!!
The tacos.
Interesting.
It's possible that there was fish in them.
If so it was fish scraps.
Literally.
The stuff that sticks to the bone when the fish is filleted either by mechanical separators at a factory somewhere, or in the kitchen.
You know, the stuff that used to go in cat food!
Never during the dining experience was either of us certain we had just bit into a piece of fish flesh.
There was a flour tortilla, some spinach and a very modest bit of filling in each of the three tacos we were each served.
There was seasoning, and veggies most notably onions. And what might have been little pencil eraser sized battered and dipped bits of fish or ????
Certainly not even close to the size of the fish bites McDonalds sold this Lenten season.
And if they were fish, there was far less fish in each than there is beef in a Taco Bell taco.
And people are getting shot by disgruntled patrons there seeking meat in the shell!
Just pick up a paper!
I get being cheap with fish...when it's mahi mahi or roughy or ono or redfish or swordfish, fresh tuna, even salmon but cod??
The stuff I buy in filet form from Sam's Club for 4 bucks a pound?
AKA the price of ground chuck?
Mr Fisher, you're scrimping where you oughtn't!
For ten bucks, there ought to be about as much fish as the typical restaurant would put in their fried fish dinners, but not here!
I'm starting to think this place is just a beverage place for us on a hot summer's day.
Buckets of crap light beer were $14 for 4. Almost exactly the cost per beer as the cost per taco!
Next time that's what I'm zeroing in on!!
I'm over the whole food thing here!
