You order at the counter: "One street taco with grilled Mahi, please." And then hit up the salsa bar for the sweet mango jalapeño and roasted garlic habanero XXX. So bright and fresh they taste over the tender fish, thicker and more substantial than your regular cod, but supple and flakey to the touch.
The food here at Calle Tepa is done Guadalajara-style, so it's a bit different than some of the Sonoran faire you see around. My taco was finished with a colorful spattering of chopped red cabbage, which added that perfect crunch to the creamy chipotle sauce. And if you didn't know already, these guys make quesadillas with Manchego cheese!
Insider's tip: This place looks like a fast-casual lunch spot, but there's an entire bar in the back ...
