Loved this! It takes me back to my trips to Acapulco. Well done Seattle!

Excellent and tasty. The sauce can overpower the fish if use too much. I cut down the ingredients for the sauce. I prefer grilled fish to battered fish.
Great recipe. Will use again and again.

This recipe was very easy to make and the flavors were wonderful.

This was extremely bland, I gave it 3 stars because it has potential and is pretty healthy depending on how much sauce you use. The sauce was good and it made so much that I used the leftovers for salad. Maybe if the fish was marinated it would be better.

halibut is quite expensive so I substituted cod for halibut and used rest of the same ingredient and was still very delicious. the fish is grilled so quite healthy version for fish taco.

Super Easy to make and tastes wonderful. I tasted a bit of the avocado sauce by itself after I made it and I thought it had a strong mayo taste but ontop of the tacos it is just perfect.

i’m from seattle and have been to Aqua Verde many times. the halibut tacos are my favorite. i’m so glad there is a recipe available so that i can make them myself.

I have added this recipe to my cadre of weeknight dinners. So fast, delicious and healthy. The avocado sauce makes the whole thing, and works well as a dip too. The one change I make is to cut the sauce recipe in half, because it makes such a huge amount.

I live in Seattle and have eaten at Aqua Verdes several times. Most of their food is good, but NOT their fish tacos. They look and taste disgusting.
