I flew to LA yesterday to visit 'the cousins'.

We all went to lunch at a small local Mexican restaurant. They were very
busy and the food was quite good. But they served something I've never
seen before. It may be authentic, but I suspect it was their own
invention for when tomato prices are high. In addition to the usual
baskets of chips and dishes of salsa they served a kind of 'salsa slaw'
It was hot and spicy like salsa, with peppers, but the rest of it was
shredded cabbage and grated carrots. Very likely packaged cole slaw mix.

It was great on chips and would be good on anything with fish.

Just wondering if it was something authentic, or if it was like the local
salsa with the celery in it.

it is a take off from the way they make Tacos de pescado aka fish tacos.
