Best fish tacos I've had east of California.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and it was there fish tacos became important to me. Then I lived in Cleveland, and was disappointed by fish tacos there - but not surprised.
Then I came to Boston, where seafood is in general excellent. So when, at Sunset, up the street at Harvard and Brighton, I had the saddest fish tacos of my life, it was both disappointing and shocking.
Dorado more than made up for it. If you know Southern California chains, Dorado is somewhere in between the crispy cabbage-bedded spicy fish stick of Rubio's fish tacos and the wet-breaded huge whitefish hunk of Señor Fish. It will do, to this Angeleno, and I'm happy it's in town.
The vibe, by the way, is wonderful. The staff are kind and respectful and do not impose conversation. I never feel like I have to entertain someone I'm paying to feed me, a thing I can't say about many restaurants. Other reviewers might not find it to their taste, but I find this place relaxing and lovely.
