Fish City Grill/Hill Country Galleria

I know, it's a chain.....but i just wanted to warn everyone not to eat the fish tacos.......they are HORRIBLE!!!! Why did I think they would be like Baja Grill?
I'm not really clear about what was inside these tacos....it looked like regurgitated rice and fish. All mashed together then rolled in a flour tortilla.

And, I sware the rice was from a box. You know, Zataran's or something similar.

I was so disgusted.

Actually, it's 6 hours later, and i'm still disgusted.

Oh, and don't think for a second that i picked this spot to eat..........not my doing..........

    I haven't been to that location, but the south austin & georgetown locations had great raw oysters in season. Didn't try anything else, but hope they work it out soon.

      We tried it twice for dinner. I didn't think it was good enough to post a review, but...it's ok for a chain. I went in with low expectations so I wouldn't be disappointed.

      The first time I tried blackened catfish; I honestly don't remember it. The second time I had the blackened tilapia sandwich which was...edible. The coleslaw is good. I had a really bad top shelf margarita on one of my visits.

      My takeaway is, keep it simple.

      As much as I want to support the places near me, I agree completely. I had a sad dinner there recently. There is no excuse for food this bad.
