Had no patience for crema but just blended a chipoltle into plain yogurt. Family says 5 stars though I thought it more 4.

Was kind of wary about using alcohol to cook, but WOW it really made the flavor of the fish stand out perfectly. This marinade for the fish also works well on thin strips of beef to make tacos out of!

This came out delicious. I used Alaskan cod instead of tilapia because that's what I had. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. My tortillas only rolled out to about 5 inches, but that was actually a better size to fit in your hand. The red cabbage gave it a nice crunch without competing with the flavor of the marinaded fish. The only thing that seemed to go wrong was the crema, which was tasty but was really runny. It never really came to a thin yogurt consistency. It might have been because it's winter and there wasn't really a warm place in the house overnight.

Hands down, the best fish tacos I've ever had in my entire life. Couldn't stop eating them. Yum, yum, yum!

These fish tacos are amazing!! Especially when you take the time to make the flour tortillas, I will never buy store bought tortillas again. Thanks Alton for another great recipe.

I loved this recipe, and the fish received rave reviews from our dinner party! I made a few minor changes: I grilled the fish (no griddle after marinating for 4 hours, and I only fermented the crema for 8 hours (didn't prep early enough, but was able to keep it at 80-90 deg. for those 8 hours, which would have offset at least some of the time lost. Next time, I'll be starting earlier and making my own tortillas - and there definitely will be a next time!

Excellent! We loved them, perhaps the best fish taco I've ever had. I marinated the fish for several hours and didn't use tequila. Instead I added a bit of olive oil and juiced the limes as the liquid. Didn't make the crema, just used sour cream with some chipotle added. Trader Joes sells tortillas made from fresh corn rather than corn flour so we used those. SO good and super easy!!

Marinade for the fish was fantastic! I live in So. Calif. and there is a Mexican Market on every other street corner so I purchased the Crema con Sal and added the chipotle in adobo to it. I also purchased the raw flour and corn tortillas from Costco and cooked them rather than making them. I added some pico de gallo along with the shredded cabbage. We actually preferred the corn tortillas but that's just a personal preference. This recipe was easy and excellent!

I don't care for tequila enough to keep it around the house so I substituted some bourbon and I used some canned creama and added the pepper to it this will be on my go to list for future dinners,

I love these fish tacos because I think they're easy and delicious. They taste as good as any I've had in a restaurant. The marinade would be delicious on any white fish. I also like Ellie Krieger's crema, but a hand blender is a must in creating a flavorful crema sauce.
