Boy, I like fish tacos these days. Yum! My favorites can be found at Pastiche and El Charro–bahia-style, flour tortillas, sauce on the side. A smokin’ bargain can be found Tuesdays at Rubio’s, when a fish taco can be had for just one buck, but I’d rather have ’em without the breading.
Anyway, looking for suggestions: What other fine dining establishments have good fish tacos? Lemme know.

Best damn fish tacos I’ve ever had were at Barrio. It was on a night the restaurant was serving tilapia. They were borderline orgasmic.
For $30,000 you could open up your our franchise of Wahoo’s Fish Tacos in Tucson and eat fish tacos all the live long day. Wahoo.
I would be happy to trade a donkey for a Wahoo’s Fish Tacos franchise.
Fine dining it’s not, but Del Taco actually has some tasty fish tacos.
Good news for J. Nintzel: We ran into a street vendor in Algondones (border town near Yuma) who was selling donkey-meat tacos. (At least I’d swear that’s what they were.)
Locally, some of the better fish tacos I’ve ever had were at El Charo. Instead of the standard order, though, I took the server’s advice and tried the version where the fish had been sautéed in beer marinade and then flash-fried for “three seconds.” No breading, of course. These were superb, although I might not get the whole order done in this manner again, as the flash-frying made it a little rich by the third taco.
