Fish Guts Taco De Espada

The De Espada taco is a standout seafood offering at Fish Guts, a compact taqueria in Barrio Logan. It’s crafted using hand‑made corn tortillas and features locally caught swordfish, blackened for depth. The balance of the firm fish, spicy aioli, and crisp jalapeño slaw gives it a bold but grounded flavor profile. It earns our recommendation for its thoughtful execution and focus on fresh, local ingredients. Chef‑owner Pablo Becker sources his fish daily from nearby vessels and makes tortillas in‑house. The result is a simple taco that elevates each component without pageantry, offering an honest and memorable taste of San Diego’s seafood heritage.
