" Absolutely love this taco spot! The outdoor seating is great for enjoying the beach breeze. I couldn’t get over how large and fresh the fish tacos were. Each bite was packed with flavors, and even the sides were fantastic. The only downside was the cash-only policy that caught me off guard. " (*Curated Review*)

" The flavors at Normita's are simply incredible. Each taco tastes fresh and hearty, and the portions are satisfying! We dined outside, which was a nice experience. Just a heads-up: it’s only cash, but that’s not a deal-breaker for me with such delicious food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Normita's tacos are extraordinary! I've tried both the grilled and fried options, and both were fantastic. The outdoor seating can be cozy, especially when busy, but the vibe is great. It's a cash-only place, which is worth it for the quality of the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Normita’s fish tacos reign supreme! Each taco is large enough for two, and the quality of the fish is top-notch. The casual outdoor setting is charming, and I'm always greeted warmly by the owner. If you enjoy good tacos, this is the place you need to be. Just be sure to have cash! " (*Curated Review*)

" Normita's has quickly become a favorite of mine. The fish tacos are exceptional – packed with big chunks of fish and crispy batter. The service was friendly, even if a little slow. However, it didn't matter much as I enjoyed the food immensely during my visit. " (*Curated Review*)

The fish was fresh, the batter was light and crispy, and I loved the slaw topping. Highly recommend both the fried and grilled options. Just make sure to bring cash! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Normita's became a tradition for my family whenever we're in town. The flavors in their fish tacos are unbeatable! The friendly service and inviting atmosphere make every visit special. Just come prepared with cash, and you'll have an amazing meal! " (*Curated Review*)
