👋 Hey, it's Madalyn! A last-minute pivot recently turned into one of the best meals I've had in a while.
The latest: Aguazul, a seafood restaurant, made waves when it opened in February in a former strip club near Vance Jackson Road.
- I showed up at Goro's Sushi and found it closed. Hangry and hankering for seafood, I was relieved to find Aguazul just seconds away.
Dig in: As one Yelper put it, "This is a seafood restaurant with a menu as large as the line on 1604 on a Friday at 5pm. They have everything — and when I say everything, I mean E-VE-RY-THING!"
- They're not exaggerating. It was genuinely hard to pick a plate.
- They even have sushi. But with options ranging from fried fish to ceviche to pastas to eye-popping seafood cocktails, my sushi craving didn't stand a chance.
What to try: Fried fish filet topped with ceviche ($14.99). It's the kind of dish you keep going back to for "one more bite."
- The shrimp enchiladas verdes ($12.99). It's the classic, tangy verde flavor, loaded with shrimp. I'm still thinking about the perfectly fluffy rice on the side.
Six-word review: Easily my new favorite fish spot.
