I don't know how many are familiar with it, but I've enjoyed them for years. They're known for Baja-style fish tacos, which are breaded and deep fried. They started off in the San Diego area and branched out across the west coast.

My first time was coming back home from a business trip in San Diego, and they seemed convenient at San Diego Airport. I didn't think it was very good, but I gave it a chance later, especially with a location close to work and went back a lot. I think back then a fish taco was $1.50 at most locations, but I would typically get a 3-taco plate with chips and a beverage for maybe $4.50. I also liked that they typically had soda water for free at their fountains, and lots of salsa as well as lemons, limes, and pickled jalapenos with carrots. And the typical $1 Tuesday special, although that price kept on creeping up throughout the years. But there was one that opened near home and I spent a lot of quality time there with the family with their Tuesday specials. Also when I took a contract job and I was living part time away from home, there was also one in town.
The one near me closed around the time COVID-19 hit, and I think they filed for bankruptcy then. They announced more closures a few days ago, including the last remaining locations in the San Francisco Bay Area.
