  Located on a corner on Broadway,  this is not a fancy place but the food is definitely worth the stop.  They have seating inside and outside (2 areas) along with a drive through. You order ahead of time and they call your number when your order is ready.
  
  We ordered...
  Combo #1 Fish tacos
  Combo #6 fish tostadas
  
  These combos included a fountain drink of your choice, chips and grilled peppers.   Everything was delicious!
  
  The restroom is in the back and they open the door for you for security reasons.
  
  Just to make things clear, I rate each restaurant/cafe/food shack accordingly to the type establishment.  Cleanliness,  food quality and good service are my personal priorities.

  These fish tacos were not great. I think I should have just gotten ceviche. Lack of flavor. Salsas are not great. The Mexican food there is horrible.

  This has been my fave fish taco spot even before moving to Lincoln Heights. The fish and shrimp in their tacos are breaded and fried. They come with shredded cabbage and pico de gallo. Its loaded with a good amount of fried seafood. So yummy with their chile and crema and a squeeze of lime.
  
  I recently started getting their shrimp tacos dorados (crunchy tacos). They are so good, too! The shrimp is stewed in a tomato-based sauce and stuffed inside a tortilla and deep fried.
  
  I can never decide which taco is my favorite so I always get one of each, 1 regular shrimp taco, 1 fish taco and 1 shrimp tacos dorados.  
  
  They have a drive thru for cold nights like tonight where you don't even want to get out the car.

  That little beach! How smooth she is: her sand is soft, her shore is fresh, her stones are warm, her colors are bright, the cotton clouds stop by and look, the sun adores her...
  
  For real though, delicious and inexpensive food. The tomatoes are wet and tasty, the cabbage is bright and crunchy, their breading is spiced just right, for the price it's hard to beat. The tacos dorados are a real treat, and their fish tacos are famous. They offer dollar specials Monday through Friday, check their menu for details, all of them are good. Totally recommended.
