Baja Fish Tacos

Cultural Context

Baja fish tacos originated in the coastal region of Baja California, Mexico, where fresh fish is abundant. They are typically served with a variety of toppings, including cabbage and creamy sauces, making them a popular street food. The dish reflects the region's culinary influences, combining indigenous ingredients with those brought by Spanish colonizers.
