Who said lox and bagels were partners for life? Dominican-American chef Alex Eusebio already had success with Sweetsalt and Cascabel Restaurant in Toluca Lake. He recently added a freewheeling, fast-casual Mexican restaurant called Cascabel Taco Shop in adjacent Burbank. Yes, he serves lox tacos.

Lox tacos ($12) sport a glistening dice of silky cured salmon and a Mexican riff on the accouterments you’d find in a typical lox and bagel platter. Eusebio nestles fried capers, crème fraîche, radishes, Serrano chilies, black bean puree, and beets in thin, crispy corn shells.

Lox tacos don’t have the bite you’d expect from a restaurant with a rattlesnake mural. The name refers to a mild chile that’s Spanish for “rattle,” but not every dish needs venom.
