Who Has the Best Fish Tacos? - All The Tacos

The Baja-style fish taco is quite possibly the taco king of the West Coast. In this episode, we'll trace its origin back to the Mercado Negro in Ensenada, while also visiting some of the best fish taco stands of the region.

Later on, Fara crosses the border to know Rick Rubio, the man responsible for popularizing that taco in the US, finishing with a visit to the Chulavista based torta and taco truck Corazón de Torta.

Just the language itself - how beautiful does Spanish sound! Greetings from Mother Russia!

When they were speaking English I was reading the Spanish translation like, "DAMN WHEN DID I UNDERSTAND SPANISH THIS WELL?!?"

3:26 he asks how was it? and she responds "De la chingada !" which translates to "it was fucked up" and Munchies politely translates it to "awful"

I loved the fact that this is all in Spanish felt very authentic... even though I don’t speak it

I was in San Felipe in 2002, my first time to Mexico. I had shrimp and fish tacos so many times. To this day, it's one of my favorite foods and I haven't been back in nearly 20 years. Looking forward to returning.

I make sure to watch the newest episodes of this show right before bed, so that I have pleasant taco dreams instead of my usual anxious nightmares.

Baja tacos are the best! Please keep this series going and invite Violeta again.

Love fish tacos especially the dressing they use for those. Full of flavor.

I appreciate that he feeds the cameraman and he gets to vote. Muchas Gracias!

He’s a great host. I’d like to try every taco!

What a fantastic episode. Superb host, connects with the chefs/cooks so well, in an unassuming yet in depth way to their backstories and paths.

[Errhhk]

How cool is it that munchies has an episode with Spanish speakers? Idk why but it makes me feel proud of being Latino

[locotx]

Violeta . . . she's a party girl. I love her. Este vato - fantastic taco series great production! Small note: You went from speaking Spanish with English Subtitles . . .to speaking English with Spanish subtitles. That was subtle class.

The good thing about Rubio's is that the owner is a Mexican American
Thank you Mr. Rubio I ate at that location all the time when I worked down the street at Mission Bay MHP

[BenRangel]

Learning so much from this. Cabbage on tacos? That was new to me. Never been to Mexico though.

[DrewFresh]

I miss Rubio's and the many trips to Ensenada eating fish tacos.

Had my go at making them last night and they came out 🔥

This gringo over here in Japan is loving the Munchies Mexican food series.

Thank you and keep posting.

My first fish tacos were in San Felipe, Baja California Mexico and they’re still my favorite.
