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.

true. unfortunately a lot of folks now serve awful soggy fried versions, but done properly it's amazing.

not to say i don't like grilled ones, i do.


There are two ways. I love them both. But the traditional way is lightly fried with fresh salsa on a corn tortilla. NO frickING CHEESE!!

Yes, I believe you but what does waiting on people who like fried seafood have to do with preferring a fried fish tacos to a grilled one? I really don't see the connection? Most seafood restaurants don't even serve fish tacos.....

Having a choice (been to L.A. and San Diego) and having been to "nice Mexican" restaurants, where there are no hint of fried fish on the menu, I cannot make myself order that which is
A: so bad for me
B: something which people who don't give a shite what the actual taste of the fish is like

frick no to cheese on a real fish taco.

save the cojita or a different queso frescos for your beans, or other dishes.

fwiw, i am hooked on the mexican queso frescos right now. braised a pork shoulder yesterday all day with blood orange, tons of garlic, onions, tomatoes, and serrano peppers. pulled it apart, been eating it as a plate, or in lettuce wraps or tortillas with fresh pico and a little queso fresco. it just works.

The food board is slowly turning into the OT. I blame the LA Restuarant Tournament and Johnny's Pizza for the degradation of this once sacrasanct board.

I'll have to try that next time. I made a similar braise last week but with black beans and I made a pickled red cabbage slaw with cilantro the go on top and it was to die for. A little queso fresco probably would have been good on top of the slaw. Thanks for the idea.

great on any meat or poultry taco.

nachos with cojita and cheap canned green chiles are outstanding. just top the chips and broil.

crumble some over your blackbeans or refried/pintos.

taco salad topper.

of course, adding some to a burrito or enchilada work too.

I've eaten it in chunks to cool my mouth as i burn my mouth eating brain searingly spicy chips and salsa.

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.....

yep, and a decent one gives you some nice creaminess along with the salty aftertaste....a lot like a great fresh mozzarella.

I don't care what board that the flirtation occurs on. As long as it continues.

I will draw the line if you want to add cheese to seafood though. Unless it is my treat with Clancy's oysters and brie appetizer.

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
