Why do fish tacos in Los Angeles so often miss the mark? In this episode of Taqueando, James Beard Award-winning food writer Bill Esparza is joined by The LA Food Podcast host Luca Servodio to unpack what makes Ensenada-style fish tacos so iconic—and why LA rarely gets them right. From batter debates to the importance of tortillas and double-fried fish, we break down the key elements that separate the great from the forgettable.
Plus, we share where you can go in LA to get a glimpse of Baja flavor and dish on where we’ve been eating lately: Moo’s Craft Barbecue, Panamanian newcomer Sí! Mon in Venice, and Daniele Uditi’s brand-new Lele Dinner Club. In the Q&A, Bill shares tips on seasoning steak, how to find the best places to eat when traveling, and whether or not Cabo is actually a good food city.
