I agree it is great on Nachos too. I have tried that before as well although I used some jack cheese on them as well. Manchego is a good sub for parmesan too...

Cotija is like Mexican parmesan...it adds a nice salty bite to just about anything. I use it on my jalapeno cheese grits, salads, any kind of taco, guacamole........

Grilled ones are good as long as the fish has a good sear on it. The one I got at Dingo's just looked and tasted like mushy boiled fish....

[quote]Correct. Fish tacos should never have any type of cheese. Seafood and cheese is a combination made in hell. I don't care if the fish is fried or grilled, but there should never be cheese on a seafood/fish taco. [/quote] a little cotija cheese would probably be okay but definitely not thick...

I ate there back in July and I agree the fish tacos were less than desirable...first of all when I saw it on the plate, my first thought was that it was chicken instead of fish. Then...cheese???? seriously??? and orange cheddar cheese at that. A fish taco should consist of beer battered FRIED fish...
I'm guessing from the hybrid name that its a blend of smoked gouda and edam cheese. Regular gouda and edam are very similar....
