"Galveston’s newly revamped restaurant Fish Company Taco is hosting a new happy hour that’s easy on the pockets and filling for the stomach. Tuesday through Sunday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.,  diners can score $6 bites, including smoked fish dip and a double burger, plus $3 beers, $5 cocktails, and $1 house-made frescas in flavors including its Mango Tango and Cactus Flower drinks. Half-priced wines by the glass or bottle make it even easier to raise a toast. Don’t skip the namesake dish: all tacos are $4." - Brianna Griff

"Located near the Galveston seawall, this breezy seafood taco restaurant has built its drink menu around an accommodating model of fruity agua frescas that you can spike, if you like, for $10. Those who prefer them booze free can opt for its fun selection of $6 agua frescas, including the Lime in the Coconut, a combination of coconut water and basil lemonade; the Mango Tango, made with passionfruit, mango, and lemonade; cactus flower lemonade blended with dragonfruit and fresh citrus; and the Pineapple Verde — spicy cucumber water with a refreshing infusion of pineapple." - Brittany Britto Garley

"If you can’t get to Fish Company Tacos by 11am, which is when it opens, you probably missed your opportunity to eat there. Opened by a former Uchi Houston cook, the small restaurant serves five kinds of tacos. Everything is ridiculously good, so it makes sense the menu sells out every single day. Each taco arrives on handmade tortillas filled with fresh Gulf-caught fish or jumbo shrimp and smothered in toppings like homemade pimento cheese, Hunan-style BBQ sauce, or lime nuoc mam. You also get additional satisfaction when the “sold out” sign is posted as you finish the last bite." - Chelsea Thomas, Gianni Greene

"If you can’t get to Fish Company Tacos by 11am, which is when it opens, you probably already missed your opportunity to eat there. Most days, a “sold out” sign gets tacked to the door by noon. Opened by a former Uchi Houston cook, the tiny East End restaurant near the Seawall specializes in two things: Gulf-caught seafood and tacos. Each taco arrives on handmade tortillas, with a choice of fish or shrimp and toppings like pimento cheese, kimchi sauce, potato chips, Hunan-style BBQ sauce, or lime nuoc mam. Plus, the fish is so fresh and tender you almost feel like you’ve never eaten fish before, even if you definitely have. Being a strategic early-arriver means you can watch the staff greet every other person in line by name, discuss their families, and tell nearly every customer in the dining room specifically what they’re going to enjoy about each taco. If you can’t make it for lunch, Fish Company also randomly hosts seated dinners (ticketed in advance). photo credit: Chelsea Thomas" - Chelsea Thomas

This may have been our favorite food during our 6-Day stay in Galveston. Our food here even beat out some very nice waterfront seafood restaurants we went to. The shrimp tacos are so fresh and flavorful. I enjoyed the choices of styles. In particular, we really love the empire style taco. The Margaritas on the rocks are also quite delicious. Cozy and easy atmosphere.

Tucked away on Galveston Island, Fish Company Taco is an absolute hidden gem that deserves way more recognition. From the moment you walk in, the laid-back, beachy vibe sets the tone for an incredible dining experience. The service? Easily some of the friendliest I’ve encountered genuinely welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu. Now, let’s talk about the food. The red snapper crudo was nothing short of spectacular fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavor. (We had 3 orders) Every bite had the perfect balance of acidity and spice, making it a must-order dish. Then came the tacos, and wow each one was more flavorful than the last. The ingredients were fresh, the seasoning was on point, and the textures were just right. And can we talk about the cucumbers? They were the bomb bright, tangy, and refreshing, adding the perfect contrast to the rich, savory bites. To drink, I had the Lime in the Coconut (without alcohol), and it was hands down one of the most refreshing drinks I’ve ever had. Creamy, citrusy, and light perfect for a warm and foggy Galveston day. When the server wasn’t busy with customers, he was actively keeping the place spotless wiping down tables and even cleaning the front glass door. That attention to detail was impressive. And if you're lucky, you might even run into a Galveston celebrity or two while you’re there. And let’s not forget the happy hour an absolute steal for the quality of food and drinks you’re getting. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, Fish Company Taco is a must-visit spot for fresh, flavorful food, great vibes, and top-notch service. We will definitely be back!

The best shrimp taco I've ever had in my life, the freshness and quality here is unmatched. If you are visiting Galveston and want to show your family a wonderful restaurant, look no further. The mixed drinks are also incredibly flavorful!

Yummy food! We got the dirty south and Baja fish tacos. Great unique flavors and fresh fried fish. Dirty south fish taco was the winner with the pimento cheese and corn. My husband was obsessed with the curry ketchup that came with the onion rings. Brussel sprouts were a little burnt and overly sweet. Margarita was good- very sweet. Restaurant is a little small and kinda smells like fish when you enter (but that was to be expected). Would come back for the tacos and curry ketchup again!

What a PEARL we found in Galveston TX! We were in Galveston over the weekend, and as we were browsing items at Murdoch's we got very hungry, quick internet search later, and we found this GEM! We were so lucky, the place was deceiving at first, you'd never imagine what you'll find at the other side of that door; once indoors we were immediately greeted by their super friendly staff. Once the food arrived, we knew this place was in a whole other level of greatness! Gourmet high quality flavors for reasonable prices! The BEST fish and shrimp tacos I've EVER had! Serendipity! We'll be back!!!!

Amazing! My husband, daughters, and I were in town for a wedding and found this place, so glad we did. We arrived shortly before 2 PM and caught the Happy Hour. My husband and the girls got 2 dozen raw oysters, and 2 orders of the Hot Oysters which they said were to die for. I was so excited because they had mockctails (I can never find good mocktails), and they were TO DIE FOR, best part, only $1! I had to get all 4. Most definitely recommend!!!

The Fish Taco Company is a must-try on Galveston Island! 🌮🐟 Their happy hour is amazing—with $1 agua frescas that are as refreshing as they are delicious. Every flavor I’ve tried has been incredible, and the drinks are beautifully presented (just look at these!). The menu is top-notch, and they offer the perfect mix of full meals and finger foods—great whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or settling in to relax. It’s one of my favorite stops after school pick-up, but if you're visiting Galveston, make sure this place is on your list. Laid-back, flavorful, and always a good time.

A cozy dinner with cheap, inventive tacos. They even have a happy hour on a Saturday. Also some of the best agua frescas in Galveston.

I've been hearing great things about the reopening of Fish Co Taco, so we decided to pop in for their weekend happy hour. We had an assortment of menu items. All the original tacos along with the hot blooded oysters (one of my favorites at Pier 6), flounder crudo, smoked fish dip and a couple of the signature cocktails. They also offer wine and beer service. This is a small place that gets busy! Counter service only. I love the interior remodel including the working ac. Among one of the missing items from the previous chef is the outstanding soups on the menu. Can't wait to get back soon.

I came here when they first opened and it was great! But now there are new owners and it's better than great. The remodel is very nice, bright and airy. Very small place but it's done very well. Everything here is tidy. Food is just amazing. Atmosphere is cozy and quaint. This is going to be my local go to spot. Everything is made to order and everything is done with care and love and I really appreciate that they put their heart into their work. This place elevates casual cuisine. Try everything. Ciara was attending to us but the other waiter he was great too. They work this place with precision and professionalism. The kitchen staff is on point (I love it when people put love into what they do) Thank you Fish Company Taco for choosing Galveston. Keep up the excellent work. Your attention to detail is not unnoticed. Pssst! They have an excellent happy hour menu.

Fish taco used to be one of my favorite restaurants on the island. The restaurant is open Thursday through Sunday and features a fresh catch of the day in the tacos until they run out for the day. There are several ways you can have your taco done- Vietnamese style, Korean style, Hunan style, etc. I had stopped going for a while because their tacos kept shrinking in size, however, while that has not really changed, I recently revisited and was still blown away by their taco flavors and the freshness of the fish. They also did a complete renovation of their interior space which now offers a clean and ecelectic dining experience. You really can't go wrong with any taco that you choose here. The viet style is my personal favorite. The freshness of the seafood cannot be beat, although some pieces of fish could use a tad bit more seasoning. While I probably won't be visiting as much due to the steepness of prices, I think the food really does live up to the price tag. The owners and cashiers are all really nice about explaining the menu if you do have any questions!

This hidden gem is hopefully becoming not so hidden anymore! I visited before they closed down and was so excited when I heard they were back! The vision of this restaurant is using fresh, locally caught fish and making delicious fish tacos. They have a shrimp option too, but I am unsure if the shrimp are fresh catch too. The chef uses flavors from other cuisines in the tacos, creating a variety of flavors. I ordered the Baja and Korean fish tacos. The Baja has coleslaw and carrots with a green sauce to add on. The Korean inspired taco has a gochujang type sauce that was slightly spicy and tasty. All tacos are freshly made to order. The tortillas seemed to differ based on the order, in case that is something you care about. We came about an hour before closing and were the one of two parties there. Service was quick and friendly. They also have a happy hour with $4 tacos and many $6 bites and cocktails. I am looking forward to checking it out as the typical $7 per taco price tag is kinda steep. The place is also newly renovated with a modern, cutesy shop aesthetic. If you've been there before, you'll be glad to know that the AC is working very well now. I can tell this spot is up and coming with its sights set on being one of the best restaurants in Galveston!

We came after the reopening, but this was my first time so I can't speak on the experience before the remodel, but I what I can say is that the tacos here are pretty great. Service was good, our checkout person was friendly and gave us a rundown of what was on the menu because it was my first time. I was really excited to see some of them had an Asian twist to them. I ended up getting the Dirty South and the Catch of the Day. I forgot the name, but it was inspired by Jack in the Box's tacos. You order at the counter, and they'll bring the food to you. Also free water cups. The tacos are small but pack a nice bite. The fish and shrimp are super fresh. And the flavors all paired perfectly. I also got to try a bite of the Korean Flavors and Baja. The Korean one was probably my favorite. I'm not sure if this is the usual, but the chips in my Dirty South were a bit stale. Overall, I had a good experience here, but $7 for a small taco kind of hurt. Given- they use fresh catches everyday, but I'll be back when I get my money up!

Came here for a quick lunch break with some friends and was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the Korean taco and the Dirty south taco! They give you a choice of shrimp or fish so I tried one of each! The tacos were pretty solid. I think they could use more flavor buttt they are not your average taco with very unique toppings. My favorite thing about fish company taco were the drinksss. They have cute mixed juice options that you can easily turn into cocktails with a variety of liquor options.

Melissa C.

Yelp
Same place different chef. It's cute inside but still small. They said they're going to expand the seating area...I don't know where, maybe in the back? I got 3 different fish tacos [the daily special, baja, and dirty south] They have mocktails/cocktails, so I tried a lime coconut rum cocktail.. ALL tasty!

Kendra L.

Yelp
The food and drinks were fresh and delicious, the updated and cozy interior is fantastic, cleanliness -- all 100%. I would've given 5 stars except for 2 things: 1) The front counter person was rude and not welcoming. 2) Asking for a tip before service is also rude. Hoping y'all will get rid of that because it's annoying and very off putting. The tip comes after you're finished, based on the overall service you were provided.

No need to wait for Taco Tuesday anymore, because you can head on down to Fish Co. Taco for their happy hour! You seriously cannot beat the prices during this time! Each taco was $4 and the drink (mango passion fruit) was only $1. Everything was so tasty! I got the Baja taco w shrimp and the Dirty South w the catch of the day. Super good and flavorful. Service was nice, as well. Ambiance was super cute too, I loved the interior of the place! Super clean and aesthetic restaurant, I'll definitely be back!

We've been to their weekday happy hour a few times. They've always been great experiences. The $1 oysters were plump & tasty. The Brussels sprouts on point. Service was great as they get slammed with customers but still manage to be pleasant and helpful.

I was so excited to try this place out! And it's a BAHFL participant! It's right between the strand and the seawall. It's not very big and their hours are limited, but everything was absolutely delicious! Hot and fresh. Fun and interesting flavors! I totally forgot I was in Galveston for a minute! Lots of locals made it very cozy. We tried almost everything on the menu and had zero complaints! Highly recommend and will be returning.

I absolutely LOVED my taco at Fish Company Taco! I got the Baja taco, the onion rings, and a coconut drink - can't remember the name but it was outstanding! The onion rings were crispy, delicious, and unique with the accompanying curry sauce. I loved them! My friend got a Thai taco and was very happy with hers as well. Definitely will be back for more!

Great spot! I'm not a big fish person, but I actually really loved this place! I got the dirty sugh and the Kimchi, and they were both delicious! It is a very very small place, but there is some seating and it is decorated nicely. It's also super close to the ocean which is so fun and gives it a beach vibe!

Very cute atmosphere, got the island vibe. Drinks were the best I've had on the Island!!!! Tacos, also the BEST I've had on the island!!!! Everything was very fresh feeling and not heavy and over battered!!!! The young lady behind the counter was delightful and very fast!!!!

We had an amazing time at Fish Company taco! Just one block off the seawall, we were looking for a place to have some light snacks, and turns out they have a happy hour from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m.....on a Saturday! Cocktails were only $5 (WOW!) and food was very reasonably priced. Amazing Vietnamese wings, and we also got the fish dip, and the oysters. The oysters were super fresh! Staff was very friendly and very cute place! Definitely will be back again!

Sad to see this place close:( this place was my go-to place for seafood tacos on the island. The tacos were always very flavorful and the fish fresh. The employees were always nice and friendly. They always had a long line because of how popular they are, and there was both indoor and outdoor seating. A casual environment and pet friendly. I hope they open back up in the future, but if not, I am so grateful to have been able to try their tacos!

I love the tacos here, the fish filet one is my favorite! Such a fun new spot in Galveston with a cute beach vibe! The servers are so nice & it's a nice quaint place to hit before exploring the town or even after to relax!

We finally got lunch from the new incarnation of Fish Company Taco. Because I was in a mood and not ready or willing to face society, polite or otherwise, Dan picked up our meal. Sadly because it was a take out order, I couldn't get the daily crudo special that I really wanted to try -- no traveling for raw fish, so next time I'll shake off whatever antisocial snit I'm in and dine there. What we got: dirty south taco with shrimp, Vietnamese flavor taco with the catch of the day, Korean flavor taco with the catch of the day, brussel sprouts, chili marinated cucumbers, and onion rings. I really wanted to like the dirty south taco and perhaps I would have had the shrimp not been fried. As it was, it was just too much. The pimento cheese, the corn, the chips, the coating on the shrimp completely overwhelmed any flavor the shrimp itself might have had. Between the Vietnamese and Korean flavor tacos, I infinitely preferred the Vietnamese. The fish wasn't fried and the flavors were bright. Very nice! The Korean taco had fried fish and while the flavor wasn't bad, it came across rather heavy. I'm happy to say that the sides were great. The brussel sprouts were in a delicious sauce and were perfectly cooked, the cucumbers were a delight with just the right amount of heat and crunch, and the onion rings with curried ketchup were where fried made the most sense. The takeaway? We'll definitely give them another try because there were more pluses than minuses. We will also dine in so I can try the crudo, and perhaps try to negotiate a different preparation of the shrimp and fish in some tacos. And I definitely want to try something off of their cocktail menu! Tomorrow we're going to try Gonzalo's American Bistro for the first time. Any recommendations on what we should get?

This is one of our favorite spots in Galveston. The fish is fresh. The flavors rock. The new dining room is nice without being stuffy. And the service is good.

Yelp
First and foremost, allow me to introduce myself--I'm Mr. McAdams, aka "The G-Town Foodie"! I've lived on Galveston Island my entire life and know the good food in this town. Thank you Yelp for allowing to share my opinions. Please allow me to start with saying this review is going to be a fun one! In full disclosure, I used to dine at Fish Company Taco when Dayatra Myers-Hurt Supatatra was the chef/owner. While the service during that period was hit or miss, the food was pretty darn good! Since taking over, the new ownership has really spruced the joint up. Before the interior of the restaurant looked like a crack house. Now it looks like a decently cool place. Vibrant colors, sleek finishes, and lots of thought and care into every detail of the establishment, including dueling episodes of "Baywatch" on the twin flat screen television sets. Now, let's get on to the important stuff--da food! Let's be candid; the food, specifically the tacos, just aren't the same. A few, key observations-- Cons: 1) The new batter on the fried protein (shrimp/fish o' the day) is WAAAYYY TOO THICK. The previous owner's batter was much lighter. New ownership, please take note and change this. 2) The new tacos seem to be smaller in portion size; not as generous with toppings, etc. Please change this; I don't do the "shrinkflation thing". 3) The "Dirty South" taco is now all sorts of messed up; new ownership is making them pursuant to Chef Myers-Hurt Supatatra's 2019 recipe, which called for pimento cheese and a Zapp's potato chip. However, the best recipe for this taco, in my opinion, is with that beautiful, fresh zesty lime crema and MOUNDS of shredded Mexican cheeses. Yeah! Pros: 1) The sauces seem to be the same, as I believe the new owner bought the sauce recipes from Chef Myers-Hurt Supatatra (I tried the Korean Flavors taco and it was just as I had remembered it). 2) The tortillas are TOTALLY DIFFERENT than before; and that's a good thing! Chef Myers-Hurt Supatatra's tortillas were some of the greasiest in America. New tortillas are light and airy--yeah! 3) The specials, while not the same in terms of variety and execution, are pretty good; I tried the oysters. They were too damn spicy, but still good! 4) There is no more liberal politics in the joint; unlike before with the Beto O'Rourke B.S. 5) The waitstaff is professional and the blonde behind the counter is pretty cute. Oh yeah! Advice to New Owner-- -Don't hyperfocus on the booze sales. We get it; this is a business and selling liquor is the #1 to generate profits. However, it is a restaurant, so the food should be awesome. -Keep the tortillas--your tortillas rock! The previous owner's, not so much. -Increase the portion sizes, toppings and protein in the taco. -Make the tacos in strict adherence to the previous owner's recipes. -Bring back some of the previous owner's specials, including bagels and sticky toffee coffee caramel shrimps. -Make the batter on the fried protein lighter and thinner. -Offer grilled protein as an option and publicize it. -Where is the Empire taco featuring Chef Myers-Hurt Supatatra's chinese communist BBQ sauce? That one was okay, but it's sorely missing from the menu. -Get the "Dirty South" taco back on track :) -THose prices--Mamma Mia! Can $4.50 might have been too low, but $7.00 is too high--Da Rent is Too Dayum High! How about a $5.50 or $6.00 Taco Happy Hour Special, you mammaluccos! All in all, I spent $40 on myself for 2 tacos, a wimpy side, and a "baker's half dozen" of too spicy oysters and a soft drink. Not worth it at all. We need to get this company back on track. Food like before, prices somewhat like before. Then we can do some business! Where is Chef Myers-Hurt Supatatra today? I'm just curious as I know she's a big Food Network star and would like her autograph. Thank you!

Last week, I came in for a quick bite to eat. The restaurant itself is fairly compact, with very few tables and a bar top inside. When entering the establishment, patrons are able to place orders at the register directly when walking in. The menu items are limited and uncomplicated with fresh, unique takes on Vietnamese fare. What I got: Vietnamese taco I love a good fish taco as it's packed with protein, is healthy, and is sure to satisfy any appetite as it's filling. This redfish taco was topped with fresh mint, basil, carrot, lime, and cilantro. The freshness and crisp flavor profile brought forth by the cilantro and Thai basil lightened the already light white fish. The balance between the accouterments and fish was nicely done. Baja taco This fresh gulf shrimp taco was topped with crème fraîche, cilantro, lime, and house made salsa. The gulf shrimp for this dish were fresh and plump. Gulf shrimp are the preferred protein for dishes such as these as they have a palatable flavor as a result of its natural habitat, and the nutritional value and health benefits of these tasty crustaceans are impressive! This taco was filling and light just like its Vietnamese cousin. Pickled Bits These are essentially the pickled vegetables of the day. My bits were an amalgamation of various pickled at the height of freshness veggies that were perfectly brined and marinated. This is an ideal way to snack for those looking for something fresh and healthy. Service Chef Daya and her staff are attentive and make everyone who comes into this establishment feel like they are "Norm" from Cheers. When I walked out of the establishment with my food, I received a warm, "Thank you, Courtney, see you next time." Color me impressed because they only knew my name as it was listed on my order and not because I am regular here. Also, it should be noted that this is a Gulf to table spot which means that when things run out for the day, even if it's an hour after opening, they are out for that day. It's a good possibility this could happen as folks line up at the door prior to the establishment opening for the day just to get a taste of what this local gem has to offer. Overall, if you are looking for local fresh costal tacos served with a dose of hospitality, this is your place! #supportlocal

First off, the tacos are very good. I can speak for the Baja, Vietnamese, and the Dirty South. The tincture of hot sauce on the table, dispensed from an eye dropper bottle was innovative but not too hot The green sauce was respectively warm with good Flavor. Tacos are $7 each, sides are extra. Order at the counter and I believe I heard no cash accepted. There was bit of a slow process with the threesome ordering ahead of us, lots of questions and the cashier struggled a bit with the register. In fairness they've only reopened about 2 weeks ago so thinking that will improve. The only real drawback for me was the flies. That was a problem the first time around and sadly that's the first thing I saw when we opened the door. We weren't inundated at the table or anything, just not appealing in the restaurant. All in all I will definitely go back again.

This place is overpriced and gimicky. I paid fifty bucks for three mediochre tacos and two nonalcoholic drinks! Worse, the surly guy behind the counter was rude to customers, openly berated the kitchen staff, and added an unnecessary level of stress. You'd do better getting real tacos somewhere else... don't waste your time and money at this sad joke of a taqueria.

Delicious drinks and the tacos are even better! You can taste the quality in the fresh ingredients. We will definitely be back!

So so so good. Absolutely delicious, perfectly balanced tacos. My absolute fav was the gochujang tacos with fried shrimp on flour. The service was awesome! The lady at the counter was super helpful in which items would be best for my palate.

I was so excited to try the new renovated place. The atmosphere was great, but the taco quality not so much. I was very disappointed in the portion size. The taco size and quality is not how it used to be

Got a to-go order a few months ago. These tacos are superb. Unique blend of flavors, sauces, proteins, and veggies. Can't believe they closed down after only trying them once. Picking up the tacos was a breeze; workers were very nice and service was fast. The shop is very small and casual too.

It's not often that a restaurant can make you go wow. Fish Company Taco is that place. Don't let the fact that it's small, old and divey fool you. This is the spot if you want to try the best fish taco's that you've ever had! They get their fish and shrimp daily from Katie's. If your not familiar with Katie's, they have their own fishing fleet so you know it's as fresh as you can get! It's all about the taco's here. We had the Baja taco with both snapper and shrimp. We also had the Korean taco with snapper and fish. We typically don't do add ons, but the nice guy at the register suggested we try the homemade potato salad..... and it fit right into the OMG category. And if that wasn't enough, the owner is very friendly and loves talking to her customers. Not only the regulars, but us new out of town folks too. I'm going to send a note to Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives. This is Guy's kind of place!!

Victoria W.

Yelp
Wow! This place makes amazing fish and shrimp tacos. The fish and shrimp here are some of the freshest I've ever had! I tried 4 different flavors, but my favorite two flavors by far were the Empire and the Dirty South flavors on shrimp. You can choose between shrimp and fish tacos, both are delicious and you can't go wrong, but I absolutely loved the shrimp tacos in particular! There is a cute outdoor seating area to the side of the restaurant as well as a few small tables outside the front of the shop.

First, Chef Daya is an icon and if you have the opportunity, do have a conversation with her. Her story, motivation and goals will certainly leave a spark of hope and inspiration for you. She is passionate about the local fishing and has excellent options on the menu. Her team is equally kind and helpful. Michael was so patient while I customized my vegan gluten-free tacos (and changed my mind too many times because all the options looked amazing)! The tacos were excellent - rich in flavor, creative and unique, and fresh and delicious. I wish I could eat these every single day! And that crispy eggplant - I'm sure my mom would be thrilled if I started eating more veggies this way! Do yourself a favor and make this place your first stop in Galveston (and you won't be able to eat anywhere else after trying this magical food).

hands down the best tacos in Galveston [and, quite frankly, outside of Galveston] my partner had been raving about this spot for months as he's had them once and was hooked, but whenever he's tried to go back, they sell out before 1pm (they're THAT good) he finally brought me along for one of his attempts and I'm so glad we were successful this go round. Hands down THE best fish tacos I've ever had (the gulf shrimp ones as well). what got the empire (one with fish and one with shrimp), baja with fish and crispy eggplant (I don't generally like eggplant but this was fire) The food was the headliner but the staff truly stole the show! So kind, so accommodating, so down to earth. After eating our first round, we went back for seconds but they had officially sold out. Chef Daya was so gracious to still whip us something up (I'm talkin onion rings, veggie tacos and quesadilla bites). I was blown away by the gesture because this level of hospitality and going above and beyond is rare. They have more than tacos on the menu and I can't wait to try every single item the inside of this spot is super chill and can be a little hot during summer but we sat outside and were fine

TOP RESTAURANT IN GALVESTON. No joke, fish company has the freshest fish- literally fresh catches every day that they turn into delicious tacos. They usually have 4 flavors on rotation- Empire, Dirty South, Vietnamese, and Korean + a few other flavors and specials that they change every week. If it's your first time, definitely try the catch of the day Empire and Vietnamese tacos- I think about them all the time!!! I'm going to say it again the fish are so fresh, well battered, meaty, and so juice. They also make the food very fast and you hardly ever have to wait. I only have good things to say about this place and the owners are also so friendly and willing to explain the menu to you. 10/10 chef's kiss.

Ordered the Baja, Vietnamese, Korean, and dirty south tacos. We got there at 10:30am on a Saturday and they opened at 10:54am (6 minutes early). We were the second person there and quickly the customers started rolling in. Each of the tacos were AMAZING, but that Korean taco. I could have eaten 10 of them, so tasty. Don't miss this spot, insanely tasty tacos.

What this place lacks in glitz and glamour is more than made up in the food. You can tell that everyone that works there is passionate about the food they put out. They do themselves proud. I have only been this one time but my husband got to stop while he was on the island for a client. Both times he got Vietnamese taco so it must be good. I had the good fortune and pleasure of a house special of the day made from mackerel on a feta cucumber salad with this ridiculous sauce that was amazing and it was just a random weekend around lunch time. The place is not the most fancy place. The inside was a bit too hot so luckily we were there on a day that was not in the triple digits which were rare this July. There is a shady courtyard (more of an alley actually) with a few wooden picnic tables with umbrellas that provided enough shade to make it comfortable. They seem to do a lot of takeout orders probably from the locals in the know. So come for the food and take it to go if you can (-1 star)

Food was good. Service was weird, the guy is passionate about the food they serve but he didn't like that we under ordered - he told us this wasn't enough food for us - we said that was fine and we were eating around the island. We got the fish taco and the Korean one I believe. Both good, the fish was a little mushy, however. We got the sweet and sticky shrimp which was stand-out ; very good. Interior needs some work, as does the service.

we came down to Galveston for a quick beach day and we're craving some fish tacos. Fish Co. popped up on Google reviews for places that we could sit with our dogs. we came right when they opened and the food was fresh and fast. the gentleman who took our order was very kind and friendly and brought our pups an ice cold bowl of water! not much for room to sit outside but it was perfect for the two of us. food was INCREDIBLE. we will be back specifically for the Baja tacos. someone else ordered the onion rings and they looked amazing too - we will be trying those next!

This is not your ordinary taco place! Who has caviar on their oysters? Unique, delicious, small dining area and available for take out. All seafood Gulf sourced. Small on the inside and very casual. Seven four top tables, some bar seating and a few two tops, also outdoor seating. I really wanted to try the grits and oysters but it's a large portion and Husband doesn't like grits. We've had the Baja taco with fried abaco jack fish as well as grilled shrimp, the fried shrimp Vietnamese taco, along with the cole slaw! Not your mayo based cole slaw - this has some kick to it. Big plus if you can get Michael to sing along to the music that's playing. Ask him about DePeche Mode!

Great locally owned restaurant with the freshest of gulf seafood. A must try for lunch. My son tried three of the four tacos and I had the special which was tile with a nice peanut sauce. Many of the dishes are asian inspired. Support local!!

Any time I visit Galveston, I make it a priority to eat at Fish Company Taco. The food served here is some of the freshest and most flavorful I have ever had. The restaurant is housed in a non-descript building, does not seem to advertise itself openly, is away from the tourist areas of the nearby beach, and is only open four days a week only for lunch (Wednesday to Saturday). Yet, the word is out for those in the know and Fish Company Taco consistently sells out of food, many times before noon. I visited on two occasions while recently visiting Galveston for the week and tried the Vietnamese and Empire Tacos, Saturday Bagel, Sunday Chicken and Waffles, Tom Kha Soup, and Sticky Salty Chili. If it's your first time visiting, definitely order some tacos. The Vietnamese and Empire Tacos were filled with fresh, meaty, tender and lightly breaded fish. The Vietnamese Taco was filled with crisp cabbage, light mint and aromatic basil. The Empire Taco was filled with a flavorful sweet and spicy sauce and fresh cilantro. The Saturday Bagel is only served on Saturdays as the name implies; a soft everything bagel is paired with smoked fish cream cheese, juicy grape tomatoes, and briny caviar. The Sunday Chicken and Waffles is also only served on Saturdays since the restaurant is not open on Sundays at the moment. Hearty and soft cornmeal waffles are topped with a sweet maple honey butter glaze and tender chicken with a crisp breading and flavorful spices. The Sticky Salty Chili is a bowl of tempura fried shrimp and/or eggplant. Fresh tender shrimp and juicy eggplant were covered in an airy breading and topped with a flavorful sweet and spicy sauce and crushed peanuts. Finally, the Tom Kha Soup was super flavorful with a lightly spicy broth, super tender mushrooms, flakey meaty fish and fresh basil. My advice is to get there when they open at 11am because they will run out of food very quickly.

The Fish Company Tacos is a great place to grab fresh fish tacos. The batter and deep fried fish is so light and tasty with fresh ingredients. The fish of the day changes depending on what is fresh caught that day. This place is small and the tacos sell out every day. They are open Thursday to Sunday from 11 am till they sell out which can be 1-1:30pm. Highly recommend and will be returning for more.

This is another one of my favorites for fish and shrimp tacos on the island. The tacos are very filling and have very yummy and unique flavors. They also sell out sometimes. If their operating hours were longer and tacos were a little less pricey I would definitely visit this establishment more. Definitely recommend this place to everyone especially if you haven't tried it before!

So I was finally able to make it to this island treasure to try out their taco delicacies. They are open Wed-Sun 11-3, but I must preface that the food goes fast! You can not show up last minute because they can sell out by 1:00 pm. I got there early morning. I was greeted to a cute shop and was helped by a gentleman who was patient enough to review their gluten free/dairy free options. All of the tacos, except the Baja have gluten, so I winged it and got the tacos on corn. I got the Vietnamese and Empire with a side of Sticky Salty Chili Shrimp to top it off. So First: #1 was the Empire- the yummy hunan sauce on my grilled shrimp was a hit! I don't know how to describe the taste, but it was a sweet-soy sauce honey sauce. Not really like a BBQ, but maybe BBQ with a Asian-zing! #2 The Vietnamese- not my favorite. I think the neutral flavors on the corn was not a good match. It was not favorful to me. I could have done without. Last, THE STICKY SHRIMP! Oooooh crispy battered shrimp covered in a sweet honey/meshed with possibly sriracha dripping with cilantro and some other unidentifiable crunchy dressing. The crust wasn't deep fried, but was a puffy light casing and not overly greasy. It is not gluten-free , but for those who are able to eat gluten you have to try to this interesting dish. The shrimp were huge and just those few shrimp left me full! This is the perfect match of a sweet-and a-meat! 5 stars for great staffing, quickness, food quality, and hospitality.

This is a restaurant that lives up to its rave reviews! My husband and I tried a variety of fish and shrimp tacos, all of which were delicious. The homemade tortillas were fantastic. My favorite taco was the Vietnamese fish taco- the flavors were so fresh. They have a little patio out back where you could sit and enjoy your food. Michael was super friendly. Overall a great experience!
