Rubio's Fish Taco Eaters: Any clue what the white sauce is?

[ChoralScholar]

I've been thinking of making fish tacos, a la Rubio's-style, but the only thing they ever say is 'Tangy White Sauce'

Is it table cream? Is it a cheese sauce? What is it?

1. Rubio makes it himself.

GIS for "Rubio":

2. mm-hmm.... EOM

[ChoralScholar]

3. Looks like the online consensus is

1 part mayonnaise and 1 part plain yogurt.

Anyone got other ideas?

4. I Think...

I can't say it without getting the thread locked

but recall the teenaged boy adding something to something recently...

:puke:

9. I don't think so...

6. Sour cream mexican style "Crema".

I think it is sourcream cut with milk.

8. Makes sense,

It is somewhat thinner than straight sour cream.

*DIRECTIONS +++*
Mix flour with favorite spices such as garlic powder, red or black ground pepper. Stir the flour mixture into the beer and mix until well blended. Wash fish by dipping in cold, lightly salted water or water with a little bit of lemon juice added. Be sure fish is completely dry before dipping into batter.
Prepare salsa; reserve.
Put the vegetable oil into a deep skillet and bring to 375F. Place fish in a single layer--do not let pieces touch each other. Cook fish until batter is crispy and golden brown.
Heat corn tortillas lightly in a skillet or Mexican comal until they are soft and hot.
To assemble, on each tortilla layer the fish fillet, white sauce, salsa and cabbage. Top it off with a squeeze of lime. Fold tortilla over to serve.
