Grilled or battered white fish in corn tortillas with cabbage, crema and lime, the coastal California standard. San Luis Obispo's kitchens plate them with Central Coast catch minutes from the harbours.
Fish tacos travelled north from Baja California with San Diego's surf crowd in the 1980s and settled along the whole Californian coast. On the Central Coast they carry local logic: the fleet lands at Morro Bay and Avila twenty minutes from San Luis Obispo, and downtown kitchens fold the catch into tacos, with Luna Red's fish tacos among the plaza's most-ordered plates on market nights.
