Fish Tacos at The Getaway Cafe - Riverside, CA

I had fish tacos for the first time about a year ago, and I LOVE them. The Getaway Cafe is where UCR students (and Riverside people in general) go to get away from school for a bit. It's convenient because it's right across from campus. I've had a few things here, but I think this is my favorite so far, although I've heard the pizza is good, and I loooved their cider. Anyway, overall these weren't the best tacos because (a) they were mighty greasy and (b) the sauce was a bit too thick and saucy for me. Check out the sun on that top part of the sauce in the picture above! It almost looks like cheese! I don't like goopy stuff in my tacos. Anyway, if you take off some sauce, it's delicious. I wrote about the fish tacos at BJ's too.

Ate with Stacy, Shari, and Andrea on 8/3/11.

Catherina used to work at BJ's and recommended their fish tacos when I wrote here about recently discovering that I love fish tacos. Now I just have to try the ones at Wahoo's! Thanks for the recommendations, Catherina! We need to eat together sometime...whenever we're both in the same town. haha

Anyway, these tacos are good! I liked the texture of the fried panko (pronounced "pawn-koh," by the way...had to throw that in there. lol), and the flavors of the sauces were good. One was creamy and the other was more liquidy saucy (I make up my own words and phrases sometimes). They have great lunch specials right now (delicious meals for around $10). They did not pay me to say that, although they should. hehe Here's their online menu's fish taco description: "Panko-crusted, lightly fried fish or chargrilled shrimp wrapped in our special tortilla with chipotle mayonnaise, Santa Fe dressing, Napa cabbage, carrots, red onions and cilantro. Served with tortilla chips, avocado cream sauce and fire-roasted tomato salsa."

Fish Tacos!!

I had my first fish tacos at Rubio's during my first quarter of grad school in Riverside, CA. This picture is from my second time eating fish tacos, but I'm too lazy to go find the original ones I had (I don't even know if I took a picture of them the first time. Probably not because I didn't want my classmates to think I was weird just yet). This isn't the best picture 'cause you can't see the fish up close, so sorry. I was against the idea of eating fish in my tacos because it sounded so weird, but I'm glad I got over that because these are AWESOME!! I can't wait to try fish tacos at other places.
