Fish taco empire's bustling Montrose location features sublime patio dining.

Newcomers at the bustling order counter may be flummoxed by the mix-and-match a la carte menu, but the options are impressive. Fish tacos remain a prudent choice, with chunks of catfish cradled in double-wrapped white corn tortillas. Equally likable are the tamales, particularly the corn-and-spinach variety. The happy hour scene can get fairly hectic, so take that as a warning or an invitation. High marks for a large, covered patio, perfect for margarita sipping.

The Sunday brunch buffet is hugely popular and features bottomless mimosas. Keep the party going on the outdoor patio--a DJ plays starting at 2pm.
