Admittedly, the fish taco embodies a philosophy more unique to the mindset of people 500 miles to the south. This mouthwatering cuisine evokes a culture of Reef sandals, tan limbs, Susan Golding, and mellow relaxation bordering on apathy. But I had seen this Baja sensation exported to satiate the cravings of transplants from the metro San Diego region. I was wondering if Pancho's (3440 Geary Blvd.) could pull it •off as well. The initial survey looked good. Dressed in an easy pastel Imotif with tangerine as its primary hue, Pancho's makes every ^effort to convince you of its carefree nature. Careful attention is paid to empirical details like the sun-weathered ceramics that sport an Aztec influence and the elegantly scuffed aluminum Chiclets signs. I perused the faded chalkboard menu behind the counter and order up my long lost love, the Baja fish taco ($4.69), with a side of rice ($1.75) and chips. The dining area is roomy, but full — full of like-minded southern California natives who reminisce about beaches you can actually swim in. One lanky patron sports violet Sideout volleyball shorts; without saying a word, I already know this man and I am confident we speak the same language: a language of pleasant weather, Tony Gwynn batting averages, and a service-based economy. But we are pilgrims in an unholy land. Just as our refuge in Mexican seafood affords us a brief respite, outside Poncho's, San Francisco swirls in its grayness as self-aware urbanites rush by to accentuate their hip cynicism with one more layer of Banana Republic black. In here, we take down the masks. We need not worry about being cool, intellectual, politically correct, or all the above. We're SoCal and it's no big deal. Surveying the restaurant, I was impressed by the well- accentuated Southern California atmosphere. The lilting sway of reggae alternates with AM radio-style Mexican music that gave my dinner soundtrack a light background touch. I was almost expecting to feel the friction of beach sand underneath my feet as 1 walk to pick up my order. But alas, it's only the traffic of Geary Avenue roaring by outside, not Mission Beach Blvd., and one bite into my meal reminds me that 1 am a long way from my culinary home. It's not that their fish taco isn't trying -1 really appreciate the generous portions of veggies (red cabbage and lettuce) which weigh down the taco. And it's not as if the fish isn't fresh. All parties involved (seafood, tortillas, chips, salsa) are fresh. It's just that . . . there is no flash, no daring, no boldness in this fish taco; it's veggie-reliant and refreshing, but too conservative, and in turn, comparatively bland. One guesses that this team misses the crucial role played by the Rubio's Baja white sauce in their more flavorful fish taco creations. Sigh. I should've known that the fish taco could've never made this far North without giving into the NoCal pressure of being gastronomically restrained in Mexican food (i.e. the infection of the generic Chevy's). A side of rice serves its purpose in quelling the salsa's fire, and the tortilla chips are light and airy and land with a plink, rather than a thud, in my stomach. But like Jude Law's performance in "The Talented Mr. Ripley," these are all afterthoughts that can't * my redeem my overall disappointment. Of course, I'll be back. I'll be "back to sit underneath the big, shiny swordfish. I'll be back to drop a lime in my Corona ($1.75). I'll be back to revel in the languid rhythm of an endless summer gone by. But I won't be back for the fish tacos — not until Pancho offers a more sassy taste.
