This recipe is excellent! I love the combination of flavors. The cinnamon and lime are especially nice. I agree with one reviewer that it is watery. But add the tomatoes later and the flavors may not mix as nicely. This recipe is good, but different than the fish tacos I've had at restaurants where the fish is breaded and fried and the accompaniments are raw, fresh vegetables. I am rating this a 4 because I found the chilpolte pepper ingredient confusing. I thought it said 2 *cans*, which I knew was way too much. I used half a can and that was way too spicy. Now I see my mistake...2 peppers *from* can makes more sense. I will definitely make this again, without so many peppers in the sauce!!

I love this recipe! It was so easy to make too! I rinsed the roasted corn and black beans and added it straight to the fish. It was delish! and very hearty.

Avoid using cinnamon, my husband and I thought it was disgusting with it in. Delicious without.
