The only plus to this plate was that it was hot and I like my food piping hot. Besides the clear lack of plating skills, there were several mistakes made... First of all, there were no crunchies. Give me cabbage or give me lettuce but you have to have something crunchy on fish tacos! Secondly, the sea bass was terrible as I suspected- I even told my waiter that there was something wrong with it. It had a pretty nasty over cooked and not fresh flavor to it. I guess I made a big enough fuss about it- when I was walking out of the restaurant, I noticed that the FISH TACO special had changed to STEAK TACO special. A big thumbs down for El Nido. Sorry, but I'm not going back.

WOW- terrible news for El Nido. I agree the crunchy is important, cabbage- its what keeps it light! Please tell me el bolazo has a fish taco! Good news is you can always get a great fish taco at baja fresh. Another plus to living in California.
Hi ... stumbled on this blog and thought I'd add a suggestion from Southern Utah!
The Fish Tacos at Parrothead Broiler, in St. George, are fantastic! Breaded halibut (I think), cabbage, etc. But these have the amazing addition of fresh CRAB MEAT! Wonderful! And they serve the two tacos with sweet potato fries and an amazing aioli fry sauce. YUM!
i have experienced the parrothead tacos, and yes they are delicious. there will be a posting soon. let me know if you'd like to contribute and do a writeup! I'll set you up to write it up.
