First taco: Betys Tacos. Served on two delicious corn tortillas (I just ate one tortilla per taco to save a few calories), these tacos were made with fried red snapper, shredded cabbage, cilantro, pico de gallo and a drizzle of cream sauce. Even though the fish was fried, the tacos were still light and tasted divine and its not just because they were my first West Coast fish tacos of the trip!

Second taco: 3^rd Corner. Once the kids fell asleep, my husband and I slipped out for a late dinner. (Living away from family, we have to take advantage of relatives watching our children every chance we get!) A hip little wine shop and bistro, the 3^rd Corner dished up a spicy fish taco. Served with a black bean salad, the three grilled mahi mahi tacos were topped with cabbage jalapeno slaw and light jalapeno ailoli. A gourmet twist on the traditional fish taco, these were super-tasty.

Third taco: Kotija Jr. Taco Shop. We stumbled across this little gem of a taco shop on the way home from South Ponto beach. They served up the fish grilled or fried. (We went with the fried, as you can tell.) The tilapia tacos were served on two corn tortillas (again, I went with the one tortilla per taco) with shredded cabbage, pico de gallo and white sauce. Yes, these tacos were not low-calorie, but they sure tasted like the West Coast.

The winner? Hmmm thats a tough one. They were all delicious. But, I did love this sign at KotijaJr.: Hands Down the Best Fish Tacos In Town!! Not sure who voted them best in town, but they sure were delicious.
