  Buzz Bait is a joint venture by the somewhat unlikely duo of the Malnatis and the Kamehachi team, but it seems to be working. The menu focuses on tacos made with sushi grade fish sourced by the Kamhachi team, with the goal of just a 4 minute wait to get your food after you order.Upon arriving, you order, are given a number, and then food is delivered to your table. Your margarita might be ready by the time you have finished paying they are really quick, but still made individually, and food arrives shortly after you grab a seat. The menu includes 7 tacos, 5 of which are fish; the other two are chicken and avocado. The tacos come in pairs, but you are able to mix and match instead of getting two of the same taco.I have tried several of the tacos and I think what sets these tacos apart is the sauces and toppings. These are more gourmet tacos than I had initially expected. The BBQ Glazed Salmon Taco has house smoked salmon with a sweet chili sauce, corn salsa, slaw, cojito cheese, and is topped with bourbon bacon. See what I mean? Not your typical fish taco. The salmon had a sweet, spicy, and smokey flavor and I loved the texture that the corn gave the taco.The Blackened Chicken Taco combines corn salsa, slaw, and cojito cheese with a spicy chipotle crema. The combination of the chipotle crema, chicken, and corn salsa was great.The Crispy Panko Crusted Avocado Taco is the only vegetarian taco on the menu, the good news is that it is so good your vegetarian friends probably wont mind the lack of options. The chipotle crema gives this taco a kick while the mango salsa and cojito cheese work to tone down the spice.The menu also includes salad bowls and rice bowls that are fully loaded with several toppings, like beans, salsa, cheese, and sauces. Plus you can add any fish or chicken to the $8 bowls for $3 more. Expect to see these pop up on my instagram feed in the near future. thekittchen.com
