About this recipe

Originating from the Mexican Pacific coast, Baja California style fish tacos are an emblem of the fresh and carefree flavor of this region.

Born in the street stalls of Ensenada and Tijuana, they combine battered and fried white fish with crunchy cabbage, creamy sauce, and a touch of lime, all wrapped in a warm corn tortilla.

This recipe captures the essence of surf, sea, and street, offering a perfect mix of crunchy texture, refreshing acidity, and spicy notes.

Nowadays, these tacos have crossed borders, but their roots remain firmly anchored in the coastal culture of northern Mexico.
