El Timon Seafood

It’s really sad when a restaurant that serves Mexican seafood fails to properly execute a decent fish taco and the best item on the menu is a cheeseburger. I came here the first week that they opened and as I usually do when I try a new restaurant, I order several items just to get an idea of what’s good or not.
In my opinion, a taco de pescado is exactly what Wikipedia describes. «Tacos de pescado („fish tacos“) originated in Baja California in Mexico, where they consist of grilled or fried fish, lettuce or cabbage, pico de gallo, and a sour cream or citrus/​mayonnaise sauce, all placed on top of a corn or flour tortilla. In the United States, they were first popularized by the Rubio’s fast-​food chain, and remain most popular in California, Colorado, and Washington. In California, they are often found at street vendors, and a regional variation is to serve them with cabbage and coleslaw dressing on top.»
Their idea of a fish taco is some sort of white fish with onions that is clamped together like an empanada and deep fried served with a drizzle of straight mayonnaise. YUCK. it’s an overused term, but it’s appropriate to say it’s a hot mess. I’m willing to overlook this since this is north Texas, and nowhere near Baja and yeah, I grew up in California and know and love Rubio’s and Wahoo’s, but the other menu items were a disappointment as well. I tried the shrimp tostadas and they were topped with such huge chunks of onion and large pieces of cilantro that a dinosaur would have a difficult time managing it. The shrimp cocktail was ok, but it was not served with limes.
The cheeseburger and fries were great though.

Spoke with the owner? And she told me the business has been at this location for about 4 months now, it’s the first-​time today that i noticed this place, so as a true Unilocaler had to try it out, this is a Mexican Seafood place, but like a lot of other ones in the DFW area all they serve fish-​wise is Tilapia and Catfish, not Seafood in my book, but ok I will talk about what I had, and that was Camarones Ala Diabla, Spicy Shrimp, this is a favorite of mine in other locations, here it was good but uninspired, rice, salad, spicy shrimp, Shrimp was tasty and did have a kick, but the rice and salad were week and bland. My wife had a type of Shrimp soup, we both agreed the Shrimp were huge and tasty, but the broth left a lot to be desired. They do offer other dishes but mainly Shrimp, Catfish and tilapia, and of course some Mexican dishes, menudo on the weekends, I was told the schedule could change to opening earlier on weekends. So if you have a fish craving, this place might help, again only so-​so, and prices we’re some what on the expensive side for what you get.
