Ramblings of a Dutchy in California

In April 2003 I traded my hometown of Haarlem, Netherlands, for the San Francisco Bay Area and a career in tech journalism and high-tech public relations. But work isn't the only reason I like the area, as you'll see on this blog, which will primarily have photos and some personal thoughts.

Best Fish Tacos in San Jose

This somewhat nondescript place on Bascom Ave in central San Jose sells the best fish tacos I've had. It is also conveniently close to home, lucky me!

The place, Dia the Pesca, is on a parking lot and serves out of a disguised "roach coach." They've turned the lot into a haven with planters and tables and chairs.

People rave about the place on Yelp. I concur wholeheartedly. I don't like the somewhat cheesy "Si Food" references they make though (and I do speak Spanish.)

    Hi Joris,

    How about a "dive" lunch club once per month? There are some awesome bowling alley lunch counters and hole in the wall ethnic food places.

    Enjoy! Gloria

    Actually.. I need to put in a good word for ORALE Mex-Grill.. if you like Dia De Pesca, then you'll LOVE Orale. Here are 3 reasons why Orale is better than Dia De Pesca:

    1.) Orale takes credit card
    2.) Orale serves the best breakfast burritos in SAN JOSE
    3.) Orale serves beer!

    BONUS: The fish as Orale is all SASHIMI grade! Super super fresh.. check it out ;)

    Thanks,

    Local Fish Taco Lover

    (Orale has the BEST fish tacos EVER!!)
