Red Fish Taco was started by Chef Jim Richard, who is also the owner and founder of Stinky’s Fish Camp, a popular seafood and wine bar on the western end of 30A. He used his culinary expertise to create the most perfect taco restaurant right along the coast. The menu features a wide variety of dishes. Crispy tacos, soft tacos, quesadillas…you want it; they got it! Fill your tacos with your choice of meat, including shrimp, fish, chicken, pork carnitas, and beef brisket. Pair your tacos with rice, beans, corn, guacamole salad, or fries. Of course, don’t forget to order your chips, salsa, and guacamole before your food arrives! It’s the perfect snack for casual dining with friends. Besides the food, Red Fish Taco has a full great drink menu. Grab a beer or specialty margarita to enjoy with your meal.
In addition to the amazing chefs’ culinary skills, Red Fish Taco has other bonus points going for it. The vibe is exactly what you would expect to find at a beach taco joint. It’s boisterous, but not unruly. The people are friendly, and the mood is happy. Casual coastal décor adorns the walls and ceiling. It is bright, vibrant, and colorful. You might come for the food, but you’ll stay for the atmosphere!
