Hmmm...we weren't crazy abt. these. My bf and I have been craving fish tacos ever since making SCARY76's Fish Tacos w/ Honey-Cumin Cilantro Slaw & Chipotle Mayo a few months ago (which, for the amt. of effort involved, prod. a 'mediocre' taco in our opinion). I'm not sure whether these taste anything like Rubio's (the chain is not local to Chicago), but maybe they do (?). Truth of the matter is that you just can't beat fresh fish tacos from the little vendor stands in San Diego. My bf didn't care for the batter at all. He prefers a more flavorful, crisper batter (but he likes fish n' chips... go figure!!!). Roweena's batter is very "airy." Having said that, I didn't expect any different, but my bf had the opposite mindset. We both also felt that the sauce had little flavor (which surprised me given the ingredients). All we could detect was heat & nothing else - hardly worth purchasing a $3+ dollar jar of capers that I will likely never use again. We assembled our tacos as recommended (i.e. w/ shredded green cabbage - I snagged 1/2 a head for $.35!!!) in corn tortillas w/ fresh pico de gallo, a side of tortilla chips & Bacardi mojitos to wash everything down. Good, but not "blow your socks off good" as the ratings suggest. I'm going to try Lime Fish Tacos by Tammy Hayden next & hope for the best! Thx. for sharing your idea roweena :)
