Monico's

Monico's Taqueria is one of those rare restaurants that you walk in and right away you know that everything on the menu is going to be good. And everything I had was. The place is very clean, the staff is friendly in a genuine way, even the cooks say hello from the kitchen.

Naturally, the meal begins with chips and salsa. The chips are almost potato-chip-thin and crispy without being oily. You get two kinds of salsa: a chunky mild tomato pico de gallo and a green chili sauce.

The fresh fish today was ahi so I had the fish tacos. Each taco is two steamed small corn tortillas with a well grilled piece of fish covered in shredded cabbage, a little sliced bell pepper, and drizzled with a creamy jalapeño sauce. On the side: rice and stewed beans. As I said, everything was great.
