Editorial Review

Washington could hardly be farther from the Pacific Ocean, but the Baja Fish Taco at Taqueria el Poblano is a welcome taste of the other coast. Owner Glen Adams, who hails from Southern California, first opened the Alexandria branch in 1999, serving the food he grew up with. "Fish tacos were then a big item on the West Coast, so they were a natural thing to put on the menu," he says. After some tinkering, he developed his own recipe.

Crispy chunks of beer-battered and fried mahi-mahi, covered with Mexican slaw, crema and a dash of pico de gallo, are packed into a foil-wrapped soft corn tortilla. With its blend of hot fish and cool, tangy toppings, the a la carte taco ($3.95) makes a satisfying snack or doubles as a meal.

-- Erin Hartigan (Dec. 2006)
