Fish Tacos?

We heard from someone on chowhound that this place is known for their fish so today my dog and I ventured down the street to get some fishies in our bellies.

I got inside and there must have been at least a dozen people in line before me. It was PACKED. I was excited because I thought packed = good food, right? I ordered:

Vegetarian Lover's Burrito

This thing is huge. I ordered it spicy which I don't normally do, but there was absolutely no spice to this burrito. This was probably the blandest burrito I've ever had. Usually when I'm really hungry like today, I'll eat the burrito even if its not the best. I ate a quarter of it waiting for some flavor to kick in then gave up. It had all the usual things, large amount of tasteless rice, a minuscule amount of beans, a few strands of cheese (i was digging around looking for it), tomatoes, guacamole...I think that's it. I decided to move on to my fish tacos.

Fish tacos

As pictured above.
I can't rate this as fish tacos because I couldn't figure out what it was. I lifted the foil and saw a plate of white mush with pieces of tomatoes and green stuff sticking out. The fish wasn't delicious pieces of fried goodness like the El Rey's. It looked like shredded white chicken meat. I tasted it to make sure it wasn't chicken. I can't say it tasted like chicken or fish. My dog wouldn't even eat it, her piece is still sitting on the kitchen floor. The tortilla was soaking wet and my fingers broke through when I tried to pick up the tacos. This meal was seriously disgusting.

Service

They were fast considering how many people were in line in front of me. There were 3 people taking orders and they were all very friendly.

Atmosphere

Nothing special, a bit too crowded inside (I don't understand why) and pretty loud.

I'm going to let my stomach heal and eat some fish tacos at the El Rey tonight. Mmm
