Mariscos El Faro

Battered fish, cold cabbage, and a view of the harbor.

A fry stand near the fish market where the batter is thin, the oil is hot and the fish was swimming this morning. Every taco gets shredded cabbage, crema and a spoon of pico.

The toppings bar is the whole point: pico, crema, chipotle crema, pickled onion, three salsas and lime wedges. Build it yourself.
