Where can you find the best fish tacos in Manhattan?

Aside from pizza, tacos are probably the most popular go-to food for most of us.  In our case, fish tacos!  I can't stress enough how much we love tacos, either homemade or at a restaurant.  And while these tacos from The Grey Dog in Lower Manhattan may look like your regular run-of-the-mill tacos, they were without a doubt, out-of-this-world delicious!  I think the trick is that they are well-seasoned in savory spices and then battered-fried in a light oil, thus creating a highly gustatory, yet healthy dish.  The addition of roasted cherry tomatoes and garlic, along with other spices, brings these fish tacos to a couple of notches above the rest.  It's safe to say that they were the best fish tacos I've had anywhere.

Emily ordered two dishes for us to share.  The rice and black beans was another delightful surprise.  They serve it in a medium-size square deep dish, and trust me they are not stingy with it.  We were pleasantly surprised to find that topping the rice and beans is a generous amount of avocado, in addition to some type of green salsa, white shredded cheese (maybe manchego), and oddly but pleasantly enough, another salad of fresh corn and diced tomatoes—all highly delectable to the palate.  Here again, Emily and I were both impressed with the array of fresh ingredients and the infusion of flavors—truly an epicurean's delight.

If you happen to be in Chelsea, check them out.  Oh, and the prices are reasonable—$14.00 for three generous tacos, green salad, and a sauce; and $11.00 for the rice and beans dish—a steal in this day and age.
