"Since opening its first location in La Puente four decades ago, Taco Nazo has grown into a mini hand-battered fish empire. Nazo has five locations across greater East LA, each serving puffy, golden nuggets of fried fish on warm corn tortillas with fresh cabbage, pico de gallo, and a big dollop of crema that tastes like tangy tartar sauce. And for being a fast-casual operation that attracts bumper-to-bumper drive-thru lines, Taco Nazo never dips in quality. The warm fish tastes like it got pulled out of the fryer moments before it’s cradled in a soft tortilla. We promise the three-taco combo with creamy frijoles and chips is worth the 20-minute wait (that gets even longer during Lent)." - sylvio martins, arden shore, garrett snyder
