These fish tacos are what you would expect: a piece of fried fish with chopped cabbage, picco de gallo (chopped tomato, onion, and green chile), served on a corn tortilla with a wedge of lime for squeezing. What sets these fish tacos apart is that they're served with Spanish potatoes. I think these potatoes were deep fried with skin on, smashed, and then garnished with crispy fried shallot slices and crumbled cotija cheese. Both the tacos and the potatoes were served with what I think was chipotle mayo. Patatas Bravas would usually be served in Spain with a sauce flavored with spicy smoked paprika, but that wasn't the case at this Mexican restaurant; however, I applaud their attempt at serving Spanish style potatoes, and they let me know that they think that this is what sets them apart from other Mexican restaurants in the area.
