In a medium bowl, combine garlic, orange juice, oregano, 1 cup of chopped onion, ¼ cup of cilantro, ¼ cup of oil, and 3 tablespoons of lime juice. Stir well.
Season the fish with salt and pepper.
Spread half of the onion mixture on the bottom of a glass baking dish (11x7x2 inches).
Arrange the fish over the onion mixture.
Spoon the remaining onion mixture over the fish.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Flip the fish, cover again, and refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, milk, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of lime juice.
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat and brush the grate with oil.
Grill the fish, with some marinade still clinging, until it is just opaque in the center. This should take about 3-5 minutes per side.
Grill the tortillas until they are slightly charred, which should take about 10 seconds per side.
Coarsely chop the fish and arrange it on a platter.
Serve the fish with lime mayonnaise, tortillas, avocados, cabbage, Salsa Verde, lime wedges, and the remaining 1 cup of chopped onion and ½ cup of cilantro.
