Last week I wrote a super fun post on our dog-welcoming city of Gilbert, AZ. I mentioned that Downtown Gilbert has many dog friendly restaurants, and one of them is SoCal Fish Taco Company. I hadn’t seen my friend Katie in a couple months because it’s been so hot and it’s been a rough summer for me, so we got together for a doggy lunch date! I love fish tacos and I had never been to this restaurant, so I was really excited to try it.
Katie brought along her little girl Quinci. She and Wynston were very happy to see each other. I love dog relationships! I haven’t taken Wynston and Khloee out to see friends this summer due to the fact that we can’t do anything outside, so this was a good opportunity to give Wynston a break from the house.
SoCal Fish Taco Co. has a really cute outdoor patio, complete with a couch area for lounging and several large picnic tables. Even though it was about 90 degrees, we were in shade and they had fans and misters going. It was really nice! The waiter tended to us, and brought all of us (including the dogs) delicious ice cold water. I always appreciate when people treat my kids well, so I was very pleased with their service.
The menu was quite extensive. I ordered the Mahi tacos and Katie got the salmon tacos. Both were extremely delicious! The sides were also very yummy. Let’s just say I devoured my plate – and Wynston may have helped a bit 😉
We had a great first experience at SoCal Fish Taco Co. I will most definitely go back and recommend it to anyone who wants a fun local restaurant to try. I can’t wait to go back when it gets a bit cooler out so we can enjoy more time downtown.
Thanks for a great lunch date Katie and Quinci!

I wish there were dog-friendly restaurants around here!

I wish you had more also! My friends and I always go to dog friendly restaurants for get-togethers. If there is a restaurant by you that has an outdoor patio, maybe you could suggest a dog-friendly idea to them! Also, I had no idea that some of the places I now go to were dog friendly. Sometimes you just have to ask!

We don’t have very many dog-friendly businesses at all around here. I’d love to be able to take the boys with us more often. I have never had a fish taco. I know they must be good because everyone serves them. It just sounds like a weird combination of tastes. I will have to be brave and order it one day. LOL!

Oh my goodness Melissa. I may have to take you for the best fish taco EVER when you’re in town for BlogPaws next year 😉 AND you can take the boys with you! Sounds like a great plan to me!!
