The folks behind Cabo Fish Taco have succeeded in bringing a little bit of Southern California and Mexico sunshine to Charlotte. The restaurant is part California surfer, part Mexican taqueria, with bright greenish-yellow walls and tiny cacti on the worn wooded tables. A handful of televisions show surfing and snowboarding events, and a gleaming surfboard serves as wall art. Servers are casual in jeans and T-shirts, giving the restaurant the feel of your buddy's living room, which is exactly the point. The star of the menu, of course, is the fish taco, a West coast phenomenon that is slowly making its way east. A fish taco is fried fish wrapped into a flour tortilla with tomatoes, avocado, cheese and cilantro. Like a regular taco, but with fish. If that sounds too weird for you, try any one of the many other offerings, like grilled shrimp wrap, chipotle Caesar salad, turkey breast and avocado wrap, burritos, ceviche, quesadillas and queso dip with chips. Several tequilas are available, to be sipped or mixed into an oversized margarita. Prices are low to moderate.
