"Buzz Bait was a fast-casual venture in Old Town specializing in fish tacos. It was operated by Giulia Sindler and Marc Malnati. The restaurant closed last month after more than three years." - Ashok Selvam

Tacos are on the pricey side but taste great. I took the star off because the cashier never smiles and looks sad to be there. However she does the job so won’t complain!

We stumbled onto this place after seeing a Second City show, and it was such a great experience! The tacos were well-priced (10 or 11 dollars for 2 tacos) and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I got the corn salsa which might be the best variation on this I've ever had. Some friends got the avocado salsa (which was basically guacamole) and I was fortunate enough to grab a huge bite of it. We talked to the owners and asked if they had any more locations around, because this is definitely a restaurant that should be franchised and located all over the country!

Fish tacos and margaritas in a New Mexico meets diner atmosphere, with a splash of dance music thrown in for good measure.

Surprisingly good variety of decent tacos! The $8 house margaritas were great. Perfect fast casual spot before or after a second city show. It was quite comfortable and well designed interior.

This was SO good. They specialize in fish tacos, but offer standard chicken and carnitas fare as well. They sell Mexican Coke as well to drink, which I had actually never had before and enjoyed. Staff was pleasant, the restaurant was clean and very nicely decorated. HIGHLY recommend.

Stopped in for taco Tuesday which was $3 for 4 mini tacos - a great deal. The shrimp tacos were the best tasting, salmon tasted like it was out of a can or those foil sealed bags which wasn’t awful but not at all what I was expecting. Chips and quaq was $7, the chips were very oily and quaq wasn’t super fresh. Staff wasn’t very welcoming in explaining the menu since it was our first visit, was friendlier at the end of our order and after but it was a little late. Pretty empty in our visit, maybe it’s more intended for late night bros off Wells street.

A little on the expensive side for what you get. $10-12 for 2 tacos. You can mix and match them so we tried the blackened chicken, the Mahi Mahi, sweet and spicy tuna, and the battered cod. The battered cod was amazing, but it was the only saving grace of this meal. The other tacos were bland and unappealing. We also ordered chips and salsa which were a good value ($4 and it was a good serving size for 2 people). The chips were good but there was a little bit too much lime juice used on either the chips or in the salsa, it was extremely tart.

The Ahi tuna tacos are my favorite. My wife gets the shrimp tacos and she loves them. The Mango and the blueberry Margaritas are both great. The blueberry has a mix of mint which balances out the sweetness of it. The chips and guacamole are awesome.
