Baja-style fish tacos are a regional style of taco found in San Diego and the Baja region of Mexico, just south of San Diego. This kind of fish taco is either grilled or fried and topped with either a creamy or vinegar based slaw. This 30 minute meal is easy to make and always a favorite!

Any white ocean fish will work great for fish tacos. Some common options are mahi mahi, flounder, snapper, grouper, halibut, and cod.

Fish tacos can be enjoyed plain as their own complete meal, or served up with your favorite side dishes. We love tacos with french fries, Mexican Rice, Mexican Street Corn, or black beans.
