I’ve been working on my own fish taco recipe, not authentic by any means. As my recipe slowly took shape, DH and I both agreed that something creamy was missing, but sour cream was not the answer (and it often is). I tried one sauce that was too much…everything. Anyway, I tried your sauce tonight, AND IT WAS EXACTLY THE PERFECT THING i WAS MISSING. Your sauce completes me. I mean my taco. We recently moved to a city with a Rubio’s, and I plan to go, though it’s nothing like my recipe. I just wanted to say thanks. There was music in mouth tonight, and the whole orchestra was finally playing
PS I added the white pepper as suggested.

I think there is a new sauce they may have that is a chipotle based sauce. The regular fish tacos should have a plain white sauce on them. Though, chipotle sounds good with it.

When I worked there we called it Chipotle white sauce, their website even calls it creamy chipotle sauce on some of the menu. Adding Chipotle Powder or the sauce from a can of chipotle chiles and a little salt make it way more like the restaurant. You don’t necessarily need it that thick either. I add milk to thin it and also use about two parts yogurt to one part mayonaise if the mayo is strong.

I found another copycat recipe, it also called for a little cayanne pepper. I have been preparing it that way and I recommend it! And if you notice the white sauce in the tacos at Rubios have a little red speckles in it from cayanne pepper as well.

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!

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!

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.
