New Kid On The Block- Taco Del Mar

I believe the direct translation would be Taco of the sea. -Dont let the name fool you...
BAD FISH TACO

SHOCKING NEWS! The Truth about the Drive Up Fish Taco

This may be the most important piece of journalism to be written this year. I am about to expose the truth about the drive up fish taco. There probably will not be a more important media release this year... until maybe the presidential election- (and that may not even compare to what i am about to expose to the world)

As a fish taco fan you know that a good fast food version may be hard to come by. We have limited options! And varying opinions on what is acceptaple for a fish taco. Sometimes when you need your daily fish taco, and you dont have enough time to go inside and wait, when you need a taco NOW! in like 5 minutes or less... without leaving the car. Here are the options I have come up with-

Del Taco
Taco Time
Green Burrito (Carls Junior)

I have sampled all of the above mentioned and what i am about to tell you will SHOCK you. I like you, would assume that Del Taco and Taco Time would be the top contenders- WRONG!

Taco time may have the worst fish taco on the market today. This fish taco is an embarrassment to all fish taco-ers! Heres what you get- Go to the grocery store, but Van DeCamps Fish Filet, microwave it, throw it on a tortilla with tarter sauce and lettuce. Thats a Taco time fish taco- highway robbery!

Del Taco wins it for me, not too shabby for a drive up taco, and the Green Burrito isnt too bad either (placing second). I will post pictures of theirs when i visit next.

A fun game i like to play when orderring drive up fish tacos is time how long it takes them to hand you your bag of food, and then allow yourself the same amount of time to eat it. Didnt you know the faster you eat the better it tastes? This is SO true with fish tacos ENJOY!

A Room with a View

My travels for Fish Taco Magazine have taken me to some exotic places to find some of the best that fish wrapped in a tortilla has to offer. But none quite so exotic as this one room restaurant with a view of a KFC/A&W combo fast food chain in beautiful downtown Provo.  This crispy tilapia based taco served at our very own Las Tarascas (lastarascasutah.com) on University Parkway. Given the best of Utah award for their fine Mexican food for 2 years. I enjoyed this taco and am going to go out on a limb and say it's the best I've found in Utah Valley thus far. But as any fish taco lover will tell you the search for the freshest fish and the most inviting tortillas will never end...

Lets Start with the Basics- shall we?

If you live in the west you are no doubt familiar with Rubios. They may well have put the fish taco on the map for inlanders like Utah, Arizona and Idaho. This is a safe taco! Ask for the flour tortillas rather than corn next time youre there... and dont forget about fish taco tuesdays- after 2:30pm just $.99 cents!

While i do like this taco, it is plain and simple and just may not justify 5k caolries each. j/k!
