    Decent place for fish tacos -- they have lots of other items on their menu, but I ordered the Baja fish taco combo plate with rice and beans -- they very much had the taste of "fish and chips" with the crispy batter, which was good. Also had the banh mi and shrimp taco, which were just okay -- they very much pork belly tasted like 90% fat ... not my favorite, but the shrimp taco was good. This location is in a large strip mall, so there is plenty of shared parking. They have a large indoor and covered outdoor patio area for seating. They also have a decent selection of beer and other beverages. Staff was very helpful as it was our first time here.

    The food is pretty good and comes out fast. I thought this place was gonna be like California fish grill, but it's not.

    Tried this place for the first time. Good value for a meal. They also offered Tuesday and Thursday specials for a good deal. We ordered two different kinds of fish taco and Baja shrimp taco. All good. Lots of seating, both inside and out side.

    This is a true story about two close friends whose 25+ year bond was nearly severed when your faithful and favorite Yelp correspondent looked up and saw that the venue his buddy Dave had tabbed specialized in FISH....none other than Urban Fish Taco in Chino Hills! We'd met for dinner last night and had both clinched upon a taqueria since it was, indeed, Taco Tuesday. But since Yours Truly cannot stand any type of seafood except for shrimp cocktails, our arrival at the crowded restaurant sent BOTH of us into a momentary spiral. My buddy couldn't concentrate with the standing room only crowds, fifteen-deep line to order, 6-deep queue to refill your drinks. So we quickly grabbed our silver plated serving trays and walked thirty yards west to the outdoor seating area at Panera. Yes, we faithfully returned both trays at meals end. My miniaturized "first world problem" was provoked by two realizations: A.) Urban Fish Taco specializes in fish or shrimp tacos. And I don't mess with seafood. B.) Their carne asada tacos weren't covered under their "Taco Tuesday" promotion, where $3.15/Taco gets you your choice of fish, shrimp two different ways or their chicken al pastor. If you wanted asada, you'd pay the menu-stipulated price of $4.99/per. "Relax, Willingham," I counseled myself. "You've grown to love Cabos Tacos in Glendora¹ so give this place a chance." ¹ Cabos Tacos, on picture-scenic Route 66 in Glendora, is another fish forward taqueria that happens to offer well made, thick asada tacos. My pal opted for a four-pack of Tacos, two each of fish, one shrimp and one chicken al pastor. Me? Went straight for a quartet of the chicken al pastor, tho I'd requested flour tortillas in lieu of corn. The ambiance at Urban Taco on Tuesday nights is comparable to a crowded Bronx subway station- No where to sit and the distinct threat of an armpit thrust near your face if you're not too careful! The decor is reminiscent of any newer Chipotle/Cava or Habit Burger place. White subway tiled walls, cavernous ceilings outfitted with corrugated metal fixtures and exposed pipe, a venerable tribute to the industrial, recycled chic that seems to dominate nearly all modern "Fast casual" restaurants. Once we'd pivoted down to the outdoor tables at neighboring Panera after we'd realized that even the walk up bar style seats were all occupied, we sat down and feasted. My tacos were sublime. So glad I'd gone rogue and requested flour tortillas versus the obligatory corn ones. UFT's flour tortillas are clearly hand formed, flattened in a tortillera then flash-griddled on a flat top to achieve a glassy, slightly crunchy exterior. The chicken al pastor is deliciously seasoned, with tiny diced segments of pineapple to provide a bright counterpoint. They're served with pickled onions, dressed with creamy avocado and madre cremas to distill a cooling contrast to the slight heat of the well spiced protein. Dave's order must've been pretty good, cause he quaffed the entirety of his meal in record time. The restroom was barely suitable for such a busy venue. I pegged it "barely" because the empty paper towel dispenser screamed "we need attention." My bill, including tax and nominal tip because we sat offside, was $14.83.

    Blackened Salmon tacos
    Melanie G.

    I'm glad I found this place and was able to try it! The worker taking my order was kind and helpful and the food came out very quickly! I got 2 blackened salmon tacos which came out to around $10. I felt that the tortillas were freshly made and I enjoyed them. They were soft too. They packed the taco with salmon! It was tasty too. All of the toppings added fresh and good flavors too, and they helped cut the heaviness of the fish. All in all, a really good taco but just was hoping for a little more oomph in flavor

    Strawberry lime and cucumber margaritas
    Stacy E.

    I was very pleasantly surprised by this place. The cucumber margarita and strawberry lime margarita were delicious and definitely had us feeling good. The tacos were delicious and I want to try more! I will definitely be back to this place!

    Urban Fish Tacos didn't disappoints. The fish is crispy, fresh, and packed with flavor, while the toppings and sauces balance everything perfectly. The tacos come out hot, loaded, and taste like quality ingredients every time. Great spot for a quick bite with generous portions and friendly service. Definitely one of my go-to taco spots whenever I'm craving seafood tacos.

    Absolutely blown away by this restaurant! The flavor, quality, and quantity of food is unmatched - this is hands down my favorite new establishment I've tried this year! Located in a busy outdoor shopping mall, Urban Fish Taco offers an order at the counter dining experience with indoor and outdoor seating options. The restaurant was clean and staff were super friendly. The food is delicious, cooked fresh, bursting with flavor. The only down side, this is their only location at the moment. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Can't wait to return soon.

    Ahi Ahi Poke Tostadas
    Vishal S.

    Ahi tostadas were delicious. Sea bass chipotle style fish too good! Thought I would be able to control myself and eat only half...ended up eating the entire fish. Yum! Fish and chips also a favorite. Patio area is awesome with TVs to watch sports game. Inside is nice as well. Service is quick and attentive.

    We had a huge craving for FISH TACOS and we also needed a place that is DOG FRIENDLY so this place has it all checked off the boxes... SONG of the DAY to play along to this YELP REVIEW: Part of your world by Alan Menken... We met with our good friends here for a fish taco outing and had a blast... FISH TACOS: 9/10 they were huge! Crunchy! But, I still prefer the smaller ones. Tuna WONTON crisp: 10/10 very good! Crunchy and flavorful. QUESADILLAS: 8/10 Not bad but, the portion was small. SERVICE: A ok PARKING: PLENTY! ROCK ON URBAN FISH TACOS!!!!!!

    2 Taco Combo
    Johnnie C.

    Nice and crowded during lunch. We got the taco combo- 2 of any type of taco, rice, beans and a drink for $13.99. Amazing food folks! Well cooked and delicious.... I got a pastrami and asada taco. All you can drink options too. Great food and great service here. Come on in! Generous servings. Chino Hills at City Center Drive.

Just 1 day ago a review was left saying they got sick...but we went anyway. That worry didn't last long. The place was very clean, the staff was friendly, and since it was our first time, they walked us through the menu and helped us pick. As soon as we walked in, we felt that cool beach/surf, ocean-inspired theme throughout the restaurant. We ordered the battered shrimp tacos, which were excellent, and tried the stingray tacos too -- not something you get to eat just anywhere, and they didn't disappoint. There were multiple house-made salsas and sauces to go with everything. We also got a burrito, which ran close to $20 -- on the pricier side, but it lasted me two full days, so you can judge the value for yourself. It's a seafood spot, so the higher prices make sense once you're there. Overall, this is one of those places you really have to experience in person. Highly recommend giving it a shot, even if it means a slightly bumpier drive to find it.

Burrito was a nice size, my husband was content and not overly full or still hungry after. Burrito had a good amount of asada in it as well! (some places can get stingy with the meat!) Their chili oil is SOOOO GOOD! good flavor and spice (i'm a big fan of spicy food and chili oil is one of my personal faves to add to a meal! there chili oil hit the spot!) we liked our first visit so much we both were craving it again and went back 2 days later prettt sure we found a new local personal favorite!

I walked in on a Friday evening and was surprised there was no line. I was immediately greeted by a woman who took my order, great service from the start. The two women working were doing everything themselves, from taking orders to making the food fresh, and still kept things moving at a very reasonable pace. I ordered the shrimp burrito with light rice and got the chipotle sauce on the side. They also have a CLEAN self serve bar with salsas, cucumbers, and limes, which is always a nice touch. The burrito was huge and so good. My plan was to eat half in the car and save the rest for later... but I ended up sitting in the parking lot and finishing the whole thing. Every bite had perfectly seasoned shrimp, no skimping at all. The interior is clean, minimal, and has plenty of seating. 10/10, definitely recommend.
