"This new fish taco cart in the Nob Hill pod specializes in the seafood dishes found in Baja California. Crispy, batter-fried sturgeon — mimicking the angel shark tacos spotted in Ensenada — arrives topped with cabbage, pico, pickled onions, crema, and chipotle mayo, plus a choice of cart-made salsas for a touch of heat. The highlight, however, is a Sinaloan dish, tacos gobernador: A crisp, quesadilla-like taco filled with saucy tomatoes and poblano peppers, queso Chihuahua, and juicy, plump shrimp. The octopus “al pastor,” served with a cool avocado mousse and nutty salsa macha, is another strong contender." - Eater Staff
