I’m almost embarrassed to call this one of the “top secret” restaurant recipes because it’s SO simple, but it’s such an important part of the Rubio’s™ fish taco experience. When my wife and I tried making fish taco’s without it (didn’t have all the ingredients and we were too lazy to drive to the store), we were amazed at how much the tacos lacked.

Whether you’re making grilled of fried fish tacos, this is an ingredient friends will rave about. It your choice whether you tell them how it’s made or not. Oh and please don’t let anyone convince you there are capers in this sauce… they’re not.

Ok, I warned you, this is VERY simple.

Recipe:

  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup Plain Yogurt

Mix the mayonnaise and yogurt together in a small bowl. Chill and spoon liberally over the fish before you add the pico de gillo and shredded cabbage.

    I expected it to be simple, but I think that seems a bit too simple. I think I’d at least like to add some lime juice.

    Don’t do it! Hehe… I’ve worked this recipe up and down and all over in order to get it exactly right. If you do add it just know that it’s going to taste a little different than the original. May still taste great, but won’t be exactly the same. ENjoy!

    Chef Pablo, when I moved to San Diego in 1986, Rubios was new to the scene. There was a column in the local paper where you could write in an request recipes from local restaurants. Someone did and asked for Rubios white sauce. They complied and the answer was exactly the same as yous, except for the addition of 1/2 teaspoon white (and they were adamant about it being white) ground pepper!

    Cheers!
