So the other day my friend and I wanted to try out something different other than the usual pasta or fish and chips for lunch. We headed over to Socialito for a late lunch around 3pm, and chose to be seated at the casual high tables at their taqueria where we enjoyed the early afternoon sunlight. Food was served after a quick 10 minute wait, first came the market fish tacos which I absolutely loved (I’m definitely going back for this!)

Food was served after a quick 10 minute wait, first came the market fish tacos which I absolutely loved (I’m definitely going back for this!) By first sight, it looked like a boring fish with tartar sauce taco, garnished with some fried onions. But there was a fine twist to the tartar sauce, it had a hint of coconut taste to it (I must admit I’m not a fan of coconut but the faint taste of it mixed really well with the fish and all.)
Heres the chicken carnitas sopes and the wagyu beef pastele whilst we were finishing our last bites of the tacos. The chicken carnitas sopes were mini sized, not particularly special to me, all I can recall now is just chicken with guacamole on an oily bottom (the sopes).
Last came the wagyu beef pastele, nothing too fancy with the sauce but the beef was nicely braised, very tender and well seasoned. I personally didn’t like the banana masa, probably just didn’t like mushy textured foods in general. Lunch totaled to a bit over $100 for each of us, but overall I would consider to revisit Socialito to try out their restaurante (apparently they have a restaurant behind their taqueria, and the entrance is actually the silver kitchen door.) But definitely will be back for their market fish tacos!!
