I agree it is great on Nachos too. I have tried that before as well although I used some jack cheese on them as well. Manchego is a good sub for parmesan too

Cotija is like Mexican parmesan...it adds a nice salty bite to just about anything. I use it on my jalapeno cheese grits, salads, any kind of taco, guacamole.....

fwiw, i am hooked on the mexican queso frescos right now. braised a pork shoulder yesterday all day with blood orange, tons of garlic, onions, tomatoes, and serrano peppers. pulled it apart, been eating it as a plate, or in lettuce wraps or tortillas with fresh pico and a little queso fresco. it just works.

I'll have to try that next time. I made a similar braise last week but with black beans and I made a pickled red cabbage slaw with cilantro the go on top and it was to die for. A little queso fresco probably would have been good on top of the slaw. Thanks for the idea.

Yes, I believe you but what does waiting on people who like fried seafood have to do with preferring a fried fish tacos to a grilled one? I really don't see the connection? Most seafood restaurants don't even serve fish tacos.....

Grilled ones are good as long as the fish has a good sear on it. The one I got at Dingo's just looked and tasted like mushy boiled fish.

which, of course, is chump change for a good waiter or bartending gig.

Then I guess none of my friends were very good waiters..... :lol: they did work at Joe's Crab Shack though so I guess there weren't many big tippers hitting up the JCS.

But thanks for backing me up on the fried vs. grilled. You have to have the crunch of the fried fish.

Now can we get back to the food?

Correct. Fish tacos should never have any type of cheese. Seafood and cheese is a combination made in hell. I don't care if the fish is fried or grilled, but there should never be cheese on a seafood/fish taco.

a little cotija cheese would probably be okay but definitely not thick shredded orange cheese

Nope I sure haven't....that's why I went to college....to avoid having to do that sort of work. I don't really like anything fried but living in Texas I've had a lot of fish tacos and the crunch from that thin layer of beer batter on the fish is what makes their fish taco the best. The only other thing they fry at Berryhill is the chips.

I ate there back in July and I agree the fish tacos were less than desirable...first of all when I saw it on the plate, my first thought was that it was chicken instead of fish. Then...cheese???? seriously??? and orange cheddar cheese at that. A fish taco should consist of beer battered FRIED fish...grilled fish is just not the same, a CORN tortilla and some kind of salsa or slaw...NO CHEESE!!!!! The mango salsa was okay but it was more like mango chunks with salsa juice rather than a true salsa. I don't know how I was supposed to fit those huge chunks of mango onto the actual taco.

Luckily my mom ordered the brie sandwich so I ended up eating half of that. The fish and cheese with flour tortilla were pretty much inedible.

My advice for them would be to focus...the menu seemed really schizophrenic. Which is why I wasn't surprised that the food was disappointing. If they would stick to the gourmet sandwich and burgers/sliders thing I think they'd have something. I don't think there's anything else like that in BR right now. I thought the prices were decent though.

re: What the hell is smoked goudam????

Posted by TigerInKaty on 8/30/09 at 6:41 pm

I'm guessing from the hybrid name that its a blend of smoked gouda and edam cheese. Regular gouda and edam are very similar.
