What’s up with the new Señor Fish in Echo Park? Seriously. Have you walked or driven by it? (It’s located on the corner of Logan and Sunset Boulevard in what was once a depressing fluorescent-lighted Pescado Mojado.) Anyway, the restaurant looks like it was opened in the middle of the night by two rambunctious 9-year-olds equipped with poster board and crayons.

Don’t get me wrong, most people are thrilled to have a Señor Fish on the block. In fact, many people I know have a devotion to Señor Fish that borders on fanatical. My best friend swears by the shrimp and scallop burrito and has a musician friend who will meet her only at a Señor Fish when they decide to go out to lunch.

It’s just that I keep hearing people make jokes about how the restaurant looks -- kind of like a half-finished set piece in a post-modern high school theater production of ‘Waiting for Godot.’ (That’s the outside, the inside looks substantially better, but still unfinished, as you can see in this post about it by the Eastsider.)

‘Did they just forget to finish building it?’ one friend asked.

‘Is it really open?’ asked another.

The concerns about aesthetics immediately become drowned in lip-smacking as these same people wolf down juicy fish tacos and gargantuan burritos. But still, a little TLC wouldn’t hurt.
