For the last couple of months or so, the 11th Street location of Berryhill has been offering their fish tacos for just $1.99 each on Mondays. This is a terrific deal, even if the Original Fish Tacos were not quite up to their usual quality. That Monday might have been because the dining room was nearly full, and the kitchen might have felt rushed or was cutting some corner. The tacos were better this Monday; this is a tough value to pass up, if you enjoy a decent fish taco and are within a convenient drive to the heart of the Heights during lunchtime, or dinner, for that matter.
The two Original Fish Tacos at the Berryhill on 11th Street in the Heights a week ago Monday for lunch were a bit soggy on the bottom of the aluminum foil each were served in. That extended to the bottoms of the deep-fried pieces of fish. These were probably the worst-rendered versions I had ever had at a Berryhill in countless visits over the years. No matter, these were still fairly enjoyable, and over-stuffed with the clean-tasting fish – farm-raised catfish I had been told in the past –and plentiful strands of violent-colored cabbage for some complementary texture that stretched well beyond the edges of each pair of corn tortillas. With the complimentary chips and tomato-based salsa, it was a satisfying lunch, and it was just five dollars, including a 25% tip.
