FISH-TACO FIND

*ARTICLE FROM THE MIAMI HERALD*

Surf’s up in Hallandale, where two young wave riders have opened a super-casual Mexi-Cali grill, Surf Road Taco. ”Our mission is to bring a little Baja to South Florida,” says co-owner Caite O’Hara, who runs the 24-seat spot on the site of an old Russian bakery with partner Chris Rainwater.

The menu, which tops out at $9, offers burritos, tortillas, ceviches, salads, chimichangas and quesadillas, but it’s the cabbage-flecked fish tacos — choose fried or grilled — that really got our attention. Homemade pico de gallo and fresh cilantro-cream sauce set this month-old eatery apart, too.

Diners get a basket of fresh fried tortillas and unlimited trips to the salsa bar. Sangria, beer and wine are available. So, grab a board, er, tray, and test the waters. Surf Road is open 11:30 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 11:30 a.m.-10 p.m. Saturday at 101 NE Third St., Hallandale; 954-239-0128, surfroadtaco.com.
