    Sauces - Three small condiment containers with sauces, including green, brown, and reddish sauces, are placed on a foam tray on a white surface.

    I placed an order on Uber Eats so I can't speak on the establishment itself however, I will tell you I I am very satisfied with my order. I ordered a shrimp ceviche tostada. They actually sent me enough to make two tostadas and I ordered a taco. Gordo and I ordered a Marlin taco great portions. Everything looks fresh taste just as if I was sitting at the taco place and then they send you all the toppings and enough of the toppings not just a little bit so if you ever in the mood for a fish taco and can't make it out there they do deliver!!

    A little place full of personality and flavor. Fish and seafood taco menu. Self serve fillings bar. Friendly staff. If I lived local this would be a go to place.

    One shrimp and one fish. I added fish to a second tortilla cause there is a lot! - Three seafood tacos with fried fish, shredded cabbage, red onions, and green sauce served on a foam tray at a casual eatery.

    My favorite fish and shrimp tacos! Pricy but so worth it. Plenty of seating and a salsa bar for toppings. Menu is small and perfect. You order at a window then sit down and wait for your food to be called. It's quiet but a good space for lunch.

    Taco Tuesday! Fish tacos from this place on a Tuesday is easily the best deal in town. $1.50 per taco and they stuff each one with delightfully crispy fish that was fried just seconds before serving. They come plain but there is a bar where you can customize each taco to your liking with many sauces and toppings. The service was quick and couldn't have asked for anything more. The ambiance was awesome. Everyone's excitement for their food to come out was palpable. It was clean, well decorated, and cool enough to eat fried fish tacos despite the blazing sun outside. The rest of the menu looked incredible as well but it'd be tough to order anything else with this deal. I went with some roommates and we will definitely be returning with more friends.

    a sign on the door of a restaurant - A glass door shows the hours of operation for Taco Fish, open from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday through Friday, and until 7 p.m. on Saturday.

    Taco Fish isn't a large restaurant or have a lot of parking so it's not super easy to find. I came in and it took a bit to figure out the menu. You order through a small window. I got the shrimp soup and 2 shrimp tacos. I was bummed to hear grilled shrimp was not an option and the only shrimp avaliable in a taco was fried. The food was very good. The service was typical counter service and there wasn't a tip line on the receipt. Good option for Mexican seafood.

    Thursday 2 for 1 shrimp tacos!!!

    After I saw my previous review, I was absolutely certain that I have not been here in three years. This place is still as fantastic as ever. The ceviche is perfectly marinated with the right amount of veggies, the shrimp is plentiful. The shrimp tacos are perfectly fried, and with enough shrimp to be able to make two tacos out of one serving. To top it off Thursdays are two for one shrimp tacos. You cannot get that anywhere else in town. It is located perfectly on the southside of Tucson on Irvington and 12th Ave. The heart of Our Mexican culture. The staff is very friendly, and your food comes out, fresh and very quickly. The flavors are phenomenal, they have a gray salsa/condiment bar that you're able to stock up and use on your food. The location is kept immaculate by the staff. It is very clean and very accommodating. The drink menu lacks a little in the sense that they only have refreshments like soda and Mexican juices. They too are also fantastic. But it would be fantastic to be able to have a drink while you eat this delicious food. Bottom line, if you want amazing Sonoran style seafood, with a local only touch. This is the place to go.

    Tacos abide here

    Came here for taco Tuesday... And for those who need to know as of August 2023 there is only one offering on the taco Tuesday list and that is a deep fat fried battered shrimp taco for $1.50 a pop. I was misled by some older reviews thinking that all the tacos were $.99 a piece but that's no longer the case. As a result, I ended up ordering a ceviche shrimp tostada for me and one for my friend. That along with a bottle of Sprite cost $17. The ceviche was awesome and it came with two fresh corn tortillas that were nice and crispy. I was able to make two tostadas out of it. That salsa's in the salsa bar are simple, but very tasty. I would come back here but I think I'm gonna try some other places first for taco Tuesday.

    3 taco. Made with the extra tortilla
    Heaven R.

    Different days of the week there are deals. I love this spot! Thursday's and Friday's are my fave days to go! Tacos super filled with fish. Extra tortillas means enough to make another taco. Super delish and the bichi juice is my all time fave! It's a must try to dip or just have on the side. This place is clean! I lil that they have a sink for people to wash hands before and after eating. There is always one staff person cleaning right away.

    $2 Tuesdays for first tacos!?!?! Are you kidding me? This is definitely one of the better deals considering that lately you can hardly find street style tacos less than 3 dollars in Tucson. Ordered 4 tacos and loaded it with all the goods. It also came with a small soup (/broth?) if you ask for it. We will be back.

    Got all this for $2!

    I first tried their amazing fish tacos 9 years ago at their food truck on Grant Ave. between 6th and 5th Ave. They have since sold the truck to a former employee who retained the recipes and renamed the truck to "El Barquito." So my review of the Taco Fish food truck no longer exists. Bottom line: Best fish tacos in Tucson, period. As my wife and I love fish tacos, I have tried everyone's fish tacos in town. I could go ahead and list all the places I've tried a fish taco, but I'm too lazy to type them all out. Just do a search here on Yelp for "fish tacos" and all the search hits you get is where I've had them, and then some. You can't beat Taco Fish for the flavor and you can't beat Taco fish for the price. The recipe, as I understand it (from a Tucson Foodie article?) is that the recipe is indigenous to the owner's home town in Mexico and has been a family recipe. It is perfect. The right kind of fish and the right kind of batter, and the right kind of frying makes this a non-greasy delight to eat. A fish taco consists of four to five pieces of fish and two tortillas. (Tip: If you order two tacos, they give you three tortillas, so either ask for a fourth tortilla or specify a fourth one when you order them.) This is enough fish and tortilla to make TWO tacos, which we always do. Each taco costs a mere $3.00, and if you do as I do, that's two tacos for $3.00. On taco Tuesday, the tacos are 99¢! That's 45¢ a taco! Then you go to the salsa bar for shredded cabbage or shredded slaw, pickled onions, pico de gallo, and limes. There are different sauces available: avocado, mayo, chipotle, hot sauce. I've had the shrimp tacos, too, and they are absolutely equally delish! The ceviche tostada is piled high. Piled high. You can have a cup of free biche soup as well. Everything on the menu is really good and reasonably priced. Go! Parking can be tight. The interior is really like an exterior. It feels like an expanded garage/patio. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Tucson-top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

    You want some delicious shrimp ceviche? Then swing by this place. This hidden gem serves seafood primarily so of course I kept with the theme and it did not disappoint. The tostadas were very crispy and perfectly textured to hold all of the delicious ceviche. What you'll get here: Counter ordering, pick up food, general seating. Mexican drinks including horchata and bottled soda. Basic salsa bar with pico, limes, red onions, and various sauces. Good prices. Delicious food. Friendly service. Mediocre parking.

    This is a very limited review considering their menu has like seven types of tacos, but the fish and shrimp tacos were delicious! (The shrimp were tastier though.) They give you a lot of fish, toppings, and sauces, and some extra tortillas, so don't go overboard and get 3 tacos like I did - I was stuffed. There's three outdoor tables under two large, shady mesquite trees. It was a lovely place to have lunch today. Whenever I get around to going back, I'd love to try their ceviche.

    Have I finally found the promised land of fish tacos in Tucson? I think so…read more La Palma may be the closest experience in Tucson to the Baja fish tacos I could find throughout Southern California. Their big white food trailer is topped with a large blue tarp that shades a comfortable seating area. The location is kiddy corner from a gleaming white church at the opposite side of the intersection. In a short time, La Palma has become my go-to for fish tacos because the quality is consistent and they know how to dress the tacos with the right combination of flavors. Additionally, they make a mean horchata that compliments the meal perfectly. I'm probably in the wrong crowds because I have not heard other people mention La Palma while praising quite lesser places. I don't get it. All I can say is that for those SoCal folks who are passing through Tucson and are hankering for good fish tacos, pull up to La Palma and be overjoyed. P.S. The folks here are very nice and welcoming.

    Have eaten here maybe 6 times…read more Its a food trailer at a dirt lot on 22nd and 6th...gets real busy for lunch. Ambiance....not much to speak of, dining area is clean...3 stars. Service...superb, always feel welcomed, helpful and accomodating. 5 stars Food...interesting...some that i have had is stellar, some not. The breading on the fried shrimps is excessive, in my opinion. Just had the grilled fish quesedilla, and it was outstanding...cheese, garlicky, lots of fish..will have again...but I didn't care for the fish tacos. The cooked shrimp tostada is a winner 4 stars.

    Not many places open on the 4th of July. Friend and I headed to El Merendero to eat, as they were…read moreopen. The same server (the same one every time I'v been there) greeted and seated us. It took awhile (it always does at this place) for the server to return to take our orders. There were maybe 10 customers in the place, so I'm not sure why everything takes so long here. Friend ordered a shrimp tostada; I ordered my usual liver platter. After an EXTREMELY long wait (at this point there only 2 other people in the place and they had been served their food), our food arrived. The tostada was delicious, very citrusy and crisp. It was served in a bowl with an orange colored broth that was really good. My liver platter was delicious as always, with a noticeably smaller portion of liver and a noticeably higher price. When we were done, we waited for the bill. We finally stood up to leave and the server immediately brought over the bill. I love the food here, but hate the long delays in every aspect of eating here.

Good but not great execution. The others in our party were happy with their dishes. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to go here but it is on a list of best breakfasts in Tucson, so will try to make it next time for that. Was hoping for bunch today, but I think they stop serving breakfast at 11 am. That's better than McDonald's breakfast hours but don't show up at noon expecting chilaquiles. Get it together and get out the door earlier. Set your alarm and learn from my mistakes or you'll be having chicken fried steak instead of eggs, dammit.
