Rum House 1st Report

[bam bam]

I decided to take one for the team and eat at The Rum House on Magazine today. The place just eeks of a chain restaurant. The décor is more something you would expect to see at a mall in suburban Baltimore than on a Carribean Island. The menu is fairly limited. Nothing was all that appealing so I went with the fish tacos and a side order of fried plantains. The plate was visually impressive but the taste just wasn't there. The fried plantains were good but nothing to write home about.

The place has a great and interesting mix of cocktails but I have to be in traffic court this afternoon. So I skipped out.

I'd go back but the place feels more gimmicky than being interested in serving quality fare.

I found it odd that these two would open this place considering they had very little restaurant experience and no cooking experience.
Going to be tough for them to make it past 6 months as I imagine the next two months are going to eat up alot of cash.

Bet it was better than what I just ate. Piss poor excuse for a fish taco

[Turbodog]

Bear, that does look very spartan. where is the pico? guac or avacado? That poor taco needs something.

I dunno, gang...... I love tacos.... any kind of hispanic food, for that matter. I enjoy fish... most of it............

But the thought of "fish tacos" sickens me. Yuckers! :cool:

They are actually very good. Give em a try before you make up your mind against. I was surprised at how good.

Nanette,
Go try the fish tacos at Taqueria Corona...right there at Severn and West Esplanade.
They are my favorite tacos there.....And when it comes to fish - I'm a common-sewer!

And don't forget tro drop by our store and introduce yourself when you're done ;)

fish tacos @ Juan's are very good. Nothing fried like that photo Bear posted, but grilled

[The Bear]

My first fish taco was fried fish so that is what I prefer. I have tried grilled and it just seems to lack something for me.

We make fish tacos quite a bit at my house.

I like fried fish with flour tortillas and grilled or seared fish (I like to pan sear fresh seafood with seafood magic, in a very hot pan, for a short period of time) with corn tortillas. We try to buy tortillas fomr the latin markets (where we also buy Crema, a great sour cream type product that we serve with the tacos along with good salsa or pico). Good stuff!
