TacoFish, Mexican restaurant in La Paz, Mexico
TacoFish is a Mexican restaurant in La Paz focused on fish tacos made with fresh white fish, cabbage slaw, and chipotle crema served on flour tortillas. It has two locations in the city, both operating during morning and lunchtime hours.
The fish taco traces its roots to Ensenada, further north in Baja California, where Japanese immigrants in the early 20th century brought their frying traditions and merged them with local ingredients. That influence gradually spread down the peninsula and became part of everyday cooking across the region.
The name TacoFish says exactly what it is, with no pretense, which reflects the no-frills approach of the place. The combination of shredded cabbage and chipotle crema on top of fried fish is a signature of Baja California cooking that locals have eaten for decades.
Both locations are open Tuesday through Sunday and close in the early afternoon, so a morning or midday visit works best. Mondays are closed at both spots, so plan accordingly.
Each fish fillet is coated in a beer-based batter before frying, which gives the crust a lighter texture than a plain flour coating would. This technique is common in Baja California fish taco kitchens but not always applied with the same consistency.
