Don't let the name Fish Tacos scare you away from this, ok! The ingredient list isn't what you find on a regular taco, so please give it a read through before making any snap decisions.
Rubio's is a restaurant found mainly in the west, in I think about 4 or 5 states. There isn't one here in Oklahoma, but luckily my momma was a rolling stone and has done quite a bit of traveling in her time. She is where I first learned of these yummy tacos and I am addicted. It is probably good that there isn't a Rubio's near me!

*DIRECTIONS *
Mix flour with favorite spices such as garlic powder, red or black ground pepper. Stir the flour mixture into the beer and mix until well blended. Wash fish by dipping in cold, lightly salted water or water with a little bit of lemon juice added. Be sure fish is completely dry before dipping into batter.
Prepare salsa; reserve.
Put the vegetable oil into a deep skillet and bring to 375F. Place fish in a single layer--do not let pieces touch each other. Cook fish until batter is crispy and golden brown.
Heat corn tortillas lightly in a skillet or Mexican comal until they are soft and hot.
To assemble, on each tortilla layer the fish fillet, white sauce, salsa and cabbage. Top it off with a squeeze of lime. Fold tortilla over to serve.

How many have had a fish taco before? Anyone here had an authentic Rubio's Fish Taco? How many will give this a try?

If I liked fish, I'd give this a try. It does, however, look good - I'll just imagine that it's chicken instead of fish. LOL Maybe, if my DH is extra good, I'll make it for him. But that's a BIG maybe. LMAO

Theese can be made without batter and deep frying the fish. I have made them just using a light saute and they are still delicious. I love them both ways.
I've never had a fish taco, so I can particularly appreciate your intro LOL. Looks DELIC! I want to try! OMGoodness!
