Overview:Roberto's Taco Shop is a little corner Mexican place near the beach in Mission Beach, and oddly located next door to about 17 other Mexican places. But in this market, its location, location, location...
Our Ratings:
CHRISTOPHER: I stumbled over to this place drunk one night after seeing an Oingo Boingo tribute band playing at Soundwave in Mission Beach, and I was hungry for...what else?...a fish taco. I decided to mix it up and ordered a fish taco and a crispy shrimp taco (I was feeling drunk and experimental). While the crispy shrimp taco was quite good, it was the fish taco that rocked my casbah. The fish was moist and flaky even though it was deep fried, and the cheese and lettuce was a nice compliment but not too much. However, what really threw me was the tartar sauce instead of ranch...and it was a powerful tartar sauce too...with chunks of relish which gave the taco a completely whole-mouth feel: it was sweet, a little spicy, salty...it had everything your mouth could ever want.
Now, the reason I gave it a 9.5 instead of a 10 is that I acknowledge that I was drunk at the time, and everything is "OHMYGODTHISISTHEGREATESTTHINGIVEEVERHADINMYLIFEYOUGOTTATRYTHISRIGHTNOWBUYLIKEAHUNDREDOFTHEMFORALLMYFRIENDS!", so I am leaving a margin of error of my decision making process at the time, which can and will be retested at a later date.
