On a recent trip to Shreveport I was needing some Mexican food, but not of the usual beans and cheese type.  A search on the iPhone led me to Don Juanz Baja Beach Tacos in Bossier City and after perusing the menu for a minute, I knew it fit the bill.

Started by a Louisiana native who got a bit of Baja in his blood when he moved out to LA in the eighties, the idea was to bring healthy fresh tacos back with him and show the people of Shreveport just what they had been missing by religiously going to the palaces of refried goodness (that is not meant to be disparaging of those institutions either, Lord knows I love them too).

You can order tacos individually or by the three some.  I wanted a little variety so I tried three different versions: the steak, the Baja Beach fish taco, and the Pacific Rim Fish Taco.    They were all outstanding, but the Baja Beach fish taco was my favorite; sushi grade tuna, cabbage, cilantro, jack cheese and cilantro-lime dressing on a corn tortilla.  It really was just what I was looking for.

By the way, a new place has opened in Lafayette that I am dieing to try… Taco Sisters.  They are serving up house smoked tacos including smoked fish tacos and smoked brisket tacos.  Anyone have the pleasure yet?
