text: My wife and I have been waiting for weeks for the SoCal Fish Taco Company to open in downtown Gilbert We are locals who frequent four great restaurants already in that section of town eg Postino Joes BBQ Oreganos and Liberty Market nnFirst impression matters It was crowded on the first Friday night opening We were told there was a one hour wait This helped us decide on takeout nnThe fish tacos were nice and crunchy but we felt that there could have been more fish sauce cotija cheesennThe carnitas tacos were a little dry to us The beans tasted as if they were canned beans In house cooked beans have a fresher taste to them nnAs Parents we were concerned that we did not see a childrens menu This could still be in the making however nnService was fast for the to go order Service was friendly Still finding their way in terms of organizing the crowd but we think that is normal for a restaurant that has just opened nnWe see this venue becoming a local favorite if they subscribe to the enduring idea that quality drives business and customer service matters nnHavent had the clam chowda yet but since we spent ten years in Boston we are ready to offer our thoughts after our next visit
