Hey, but those tacos! Let’s taco ’bout their tacos.

Each piece of shrimp and fish at Taco Fish is fried to a perfect dark brown, resulting in a crunchy and buttery texture that isn’t greasy. The tacos are generously portioned, with enough ingredients for two, which is why the restaurant includes a second tortilla under each one.

Sweet Deals

On Mondays, they offer half-off cahuamanta plates and tacos, on Tuesdays, $1.50 fish tacos, and on Thursdays, it’s two-for-one shrimp tacos. Yes, these specials include the bichi as well!

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
