Celebrating National Fish Taco Day With This Fun Fish Taco Pairing Guide
Mark your calendars for January 25, 2025, because National Fish Taco Day is just around the corner! This flavorful holiday is the perfect opportunity to visit the best restaurants in Coconut Grove and indulge in one of the most savory yet simple dishes around: the fish taco. Whether you’re a seasoned fish taco fan or a first-timer, we’ve put together the ultimate pairing guide to make your culinary experience unforgettable.
1. Pairing with Drinks
Fish tacos are light, fresh, and full of flavor, so choosing the right drink to complement them is key. Try pairing them with a classic margarita if you’re in the mood for something refreshing. The tangy lime and salty rim (or sugar) enhance the taco’s fresh flavors. Other delicious and unique options are:
- Tamarindowski – Vodka, tamarind, lime, and maraschino liqueur create a tangy and sweet twist.
- Mula Fresca – Mezcal, lime, ginger, agave, and a sal de gusano rim bring a smoky, spicy edge.
- Guayabera – A refreshing mix of ron blanco, guava, lime, pineapple, and orgeat.
- Each sip enhances the taco experience, ensuring a vibrant festivity.
2. Fresh and Flavorful Sides
No fish taco feast is complete without sides that complement its delicate flavors. A side of our fresh guacamole seasoned with merken and served with pork rinds and corn chips is sure to pair beautifully with the taco’s crispy texture. This simple yet flavorful addition not only enhances the dish but also provides a more fulfilling and satisfying dining experience.
