I might have. Might have to give them another chance to prove themselves. :-)

We live by one and I haven't tried it. Don't like El Pollo Loco's greasy chicken. lol

Strange, I dont find their chicken as greasy at all compared to others like KFC and some cooked in the supermarkets. Maybe you hit them on a bad day?

I have tried fish tacos several times, and they just dont float my boat. And I certainly would not expect any better from El Pollo Loco.Dont care for their chicken, much less anything else they may serve.Just my opinion.

Here in the PHX area, I just recieved a coupon flyer from El Pollo Loco offering FREE Fish Tacos! El Pollo Loco will offer two fish tacos-- the Classic Baja Fish Taco and the Spicy Avocado Fish Taco. Both tacos feature crispy beer battered Alaskan white fish tucked into warm corn tortillas and topped with shredded cabbage and fresh cilantro. The Classic Baja Fish Taco is drizzled with yogurt sauce mixed with El Pollo Loco’s signature house salsa recipe; the Spicy Avocado Fish Taco is topped with yogurt sauce combined with El Pollo Loco’s popular avocado salsa recipe. A slice of fresh lime adds a burst of citrus flavor to each taco.
I like "The Crazy Chicken's" Chicken. It's chicken that's marinated in special herbs, spices and citrus juices and then flame-grilled for flavor that's deliciously different. True Mexican style Grilled Chicken.
El Pollo Loco has more than 380 restaurants in California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, Georgia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Oregon, Utah, Virginia, New Jersey and Missouri. If you live near one and haven't tried it, shame on you!

We were going to try some fish tacos at a little place near here. Drove up in front and the stench was so bad, we backed out and drove away. They'd be more enticing if they had a nice aroma coming from the place.

I'm not too wild about anything/everything being rolled up into a taco. Now if it was a burrito, I might change my mind.

We can get fish burritos here, no problem. Almost too
much of a good thing though. One does me in.

Had a great fish taco for lunch today at a little place called Taqueria Los Hermanos in Tucker, Georgia. They have places in Lawrenceville & Lilburn also. This tilapia was flash fried & the meat was still moist, flakey & served with grilled onions, cilantro & lime wedges. The white sauce was almost tarter but not quite & had some heat which did the whole thing justice.

looks pretty tasty!!!

I like the traditional white zingy sauce. The couple of times I've
put a traditional salsa on them, it ruined the flavor balance for me.
Something like ketchup on a hot dog. :)

The Taco Spot in Charleston, SC. Best fish tacos I've ever had. Everything fresh and homemade, and the largest variety of hot sauces I've ever seen!

Having grown up in the Mid-West, I've eaten my fair share of river and lake fish baked, breaded, fried, blackened, pan seared, hot-dished, every which way you can imagine.

Fish taco's 15 years ago to me was unimagineable. They have hands down become my favorite way to have fish. Infinately versatile in flavor combinations and textures.

those bagged catfish nuggets make tremendous tacos.

PapaJoe, I agree lol.
Michael Hoffman just displaying his usual bad attitude.

Had some good tacos in LA, though most of the time I've had to scrape off all the disgusting sauce they bathe it in. I like the simple versions highlighting the fresh fish and tortillas, lightly garnished.

I use cod or halibut and make a very light beer batter( Sol, cayenne, old bay, white pepper and salt) I found a great recipe for a southwest sauce on youtube ( search: Chef Jason Hill) top with cabbage and homemade pico. I love em and they are so easy. I grew up in Tempe and I haven't been able to find fish tacos out here so I started making them myself.

The same could be said for a lobster roll. How is a fish taco any different from a fried seafood poorboy, or any other seafood sandwich? As long as the condiments don't overpower the fish - I see the taco shell as a vehicle for the fish abd like it's warm, crispy texture.

I disagree,
I'll take a "decent" lobster fresh out of the shell versus the best lobster roll anyday.
However a fish taco is quite unique compared to "just fish" or "just a taco"

Michael's post on page 2 got me thinkin;

Why ruin a good steak by chopping it up, then putting it between bread w/ lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles, mayo, mustard, chili, or who knows what other kinds of other weird toppings. That poor steak... that's just crazzzy!!!

I've never been able to undestand why anyone would want to ruin both good fish and good tacos by putting them together.

I know it sounds strange Michael. But you really need to try one before you can understand it. If you like fish you will love Fish Tacos...Russ

I like fish and a like tacos. I've had fish tacos. I dislike them.

I ate a fish taco at an outdoor arts market, for the first time about two months ago, and it was wonderful - It was a piece of grilled fish nestled in a bed of cole slaw (made with purple cabbage), on a small corn tortilla. It had a little kick to it, and I asked the vendor what he used to give the little spice to it, he mentioned he made a remoulade sauce for the cole slaw.

I figure this how it was done - fish cooked on the grill - a small corn tortilla heated on the grill and the cole slaw made using a white remoulade sauce, seems like a pretty simple thing to do at home. He was also making shrimp tacos too. I mentioned this on the cole slaw forum, as it seems like the remoulade would be good just as a cole slaw dressing.

   Well now, I would argue that cabbage and some sort of white sauce + salsa and corn tortillas define
fish tacos. They can be any variety of seafood, but preferably a whitefish of some type, breaded or not, , deep fried, boiled, steamed, grilled, + whatever south of the border
toppings you want to add.
   Tomatoes, cilantro, onions and avocados are typical around here.
    loved in SF too.

I've never had a fish taco but would love to try one so does anyone know where i can go for a good fish taco in england?

Buy some fish and chips, a pack of corn tortillias, fry them in a little oil, fold them over right out of the oil, add some chopped red onions, tomatoes, lettice, chopped cilantro, grated cheddar cheese or a Mexican blend, add the fish, first of course, maybe some hot sauce if you like, voila, a fish taco ala Great Britain, come to think of it add the chips on top, chips being french fries I believe!
