Rubio's Fish Tacos

Spent 17 years in San Diego and have lived in ohio for the past 5. I've been craving Rubio's for the past year and just tried these tonight and they were fabulous. I also made a cream chipotle sauce that I prefer to the typical white sauce I like the added kick. I also found a salsa that is a dead on match for a smoky tasting salsa rubio's had, It was Frontera's roasted red pepper & garlic salsa with mellow red chile.
