Fine, filling fish tacos from El Guaca, Newmarket. Generous amount of fish and a fabulous salsa.

I can t wait for pubs and restaurants to reopen for indoor service again - I m sure you feel the same. This past weekend hammered home how hard the enforced outdoor operations are for everyone, as my planned restaurant review was a total wash-out. Gardeners will tell you we needed the rain, but it s not what was wanted for eating in an exposed area. Disconsolate, I got a takeaway instead.
Come Monday, I emailed the editor to say: I know I m on deadline, but it was too wet for the planned review; is there anywhere doing takeaway food you d like me to cover tonight. The answer (clearly) was Newmarket s El Guaca Mexican Grill. the very place I d been to for Saturday night s takeaway.
