    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.

    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.

    One shrimp and one fish. I added fish to a second tortilla cause there is a lot!

    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 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.

    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.

The staff where beyond amazing, especially the woman who made our complementary salsa right at the table. And the salsa was yummy but sadly that's the only part of the meal that I can say that about. The thing is, nothing was truly bad, but just about everything was incredibly bland. You'd have expected someone who puts raisins in potato salad to have served it, not an authentic Mexican restaurant. Though the positive is the lack of seasoning is really the only major problem. The food did not have any weird taste, it wasn't dry, the presentation was fine. It simply needs to be seasoned and this place goes to a solid 4/5 rather than a three.

Honestly, I wish I could give Yaquesita a little more, maybe half a star more, because this place definitely has potential. Their flavors are good, but compared to similar restaurants the menu feels a bit overpriced. For a party of three we ended up paying around $100, which felt like a bit much for what we got. The restaurant itself is pretty small with only about 3-4 tables inside, but the patio is a decent size and has a cute vibe. It's actually a nice option on cooler days if you don't mind sitting outside. Some items were better than others. The wet-style burrito was delicious and definitely a highlight. The quesabirrias were good, however the birria felt more like fancier shredded beef. It was missing that rich, spicy, slightly acidic, earthy flavor that usually sets birria apart from barbacoa or traditional shredded beef dishes. The bowl was just okay and had lots of lettuce. It felt more like a salad with a bit of meat, rice, and beans. Honestly, Chipotle does bowls better, and that says a lot considering the price. The nachos were good, but I've had better. Seis Kitchen has amazing nachos to share. That said, it's definitely a place I'd come back to mainly out of convenience, not because one particular item on the menu won my heart. I really do hope they continue refining the menu because the flavors are there and this place could easily become a standout spot. Personally I just think at the total price of my ticket other restaurants should not even have room in my mind during my meal. If you're in the area and looking for a safe bet where everyone will probably find something they like, it's worth giving them a try.
