Tapas style menu part 1
Amir Y.

This place was a happy accident. Dropped into the area for a different restaurant. As luck would have it that particular restaurant didn't have any of the dishes we were interested in, so we ended up leaving. We decided to take our chances with the cool rooftop bar place we noticed on our way in. So glad we did. The place was awesome! First things first, wait and host staff were super gracious and inviting, made us feel welcome immediately. We were seated immediately. They have two outdoor patio areas plus an open air indoor-ish area (perfect for a pandemic dining experience). We ordered the Ceviche Tacos, Ecuadorian Ceviche, Tuna Toast and Spicy Potatoes. Long story short, it was outstanding. Flavors were dynamic and on point. Really meshed we'll together - I was surprised and intrigued when I read Peanut Butter on the menu for a Ceviche, but it was great. The tacos were fresh and delicious. The brava sauce on the potatoes were delicious, literally everything was super good. Only surprise (mostly for my spouse), was that the Ceviche was actually raw - most Mexican Ceviche is cooked then made into Ceviche (which my wife prefers). I found it a pleasant surprise :). We'll definitely be back, this place definitely gets on our favorites list.

This place is stunning. Located on the top of the mercado de Robles (an incredible market I'm town; see my review for that). The only reason why they are receiving a 4 star is that they never came back to us after we ordered our first round of drinks. We wanted to try the fried potatoes. It's ok though because our server was incredibly friendly, spoke perfect English & proper (slow) Spanish so we also understood what was being said. All in all; this place is worth coming back too; even if just for the brew. Thank you Alta Baja.

Bar area with a nice view of the city.

Me encanta el lugar todos son muy amable y la comida está riquísima. Nosotros ordenamos Premium Burger de rib eye y Pork belly con pure de papa.

Porkbelly sliders... Yes please!

We came on a Friday night and it was awesome--great music, really chill vibe, and awesome food and beer selection. Outdoor balconies, two bars, will definitely be back!

See all

“The ceviche and pulpo were fresh and outstanding, and the pork ribs, with their rich and tangy sauce, fell right off the bone.”

In addition to loving beer, am a huge fan of Breaking Bad (and Better Call Saul) so decided to head…read moredown to Ensenada from San Diego to check out this Breaking Bad-themed tap room. The spot is actually a straightforward 5 minute walk from the ABC bus terminal in Ensanada's Zona Centro (downtown) area. The brewery is located within a food hall called Pasillo Central where you can buy tacos, burgers, pizza, and other delicacies to go with your craft beer if you wish. It's a fairly small brewery with a smaller selection of beer than I expected (maybe about 7 or 8 beers on tap at the time). Tried a few of the beers, including the Mike IPA (named after Mike Ehrmantraut of Breaking Bad fame) and the Cenicienta, a light (4.5%) golden ale. Was less than impressed with both. The best beer I tried was probably the Luna Roja, a darker red Scottish ale which was pretty good, though not great. The beer prices were solid. 65-70 pesos (around $3.25 to $3.50) for a pint (16oz) and only 20 pesos (around $1) for a 4 oz taster. But wasn't impressed with the place overall quite honestly. There's no air conditioning (only fans) and only one TV in the tap room, though they did also have a small projector screen showing the Monday Night Football game. Bit of a hipster vibe here that might appeal to some. But overall just seemed like a smallish bar that slapped the "Breaking Bad" name on it for the name value. Wasn't impressed but could see myself going back if I happen to be in that area of Ensenada again. They do have a happy hour Wednesdays and Thursdays from 2 to 7 pm.

This place is awesome. It's a little bit of a speakeasy and is hidden down a long alleyway in…read moreEnsenada. I'm not a beer fan, but even I liked the homemade brews here. Once you find the door, keep walking down the long, "under construction" hallway. No, you aren't going the wrong way. No, there wasn't an earthquake. No, this isn't a scene out of a home renovation show. Just keep walking, and you'll find the tap room. It's located in the very back, and it's basically a large, unfinished, concrete block room with an old piano and some tables and chairs. Fancy it ain't, but this is all about the beer. There's a small brewing facility that looks 100% legit homegrown. No fancy hipster junk here. The beer menu is clear and prices are far from bargains. Expect to pay what you would for a pint in any American bar. We had a light and dark beer, and both were tasty (the dark especially - tasted like chocolate). The bartender spoke good English and we were warmly welcomed. Since this place is still a well-kept secret, we were there with only one other customer (some super weird dude who looked like Pablo Picasso and dressed like Jeff Goldblum and was asking a ton of scientific questions about their brewing process). This is a place for real beer nerds, that's for sure. They've got the marketing down as well, with a not-quite copyright infringing logo and they give you stickers if you ask. A little bummed that our beers were served in normal glasses, would've been super rad if they were served in laboratory test tubes or jars or something. Owners are big fans of "Breaking Bad," obviously.

At the end of the main strip, off on a side street, you might walk past it an never realize it was…read morethere! That would be a shame! Amazing beer selection that any craft beer lover would enjoy, about 20 local beers on tap. Great food menu to add. We came in on a cruise ship and founf this gem! We were so happy we did. Run past the guys hawking margaritas and crappy Corona beer to this place. You won't regret it.

Great place for Baja's best craft beer! Definitely the largest and most varied selection in…read moreEnsenada. Easy walk from the cruise ships, it's on a side street (Av Riveroll) just across the main road. Everything is on draft, with great prices (at least by US standards) of about $4 a pint. They have bigger brewers like Wendlant, Agua Mala, and Border Psycho, but also plenty of others to explore. I didn't try the food but it looked good. The service was EXCELLENT, they were patient with our questions, let us sample a couple, and found the NFL playoffs for us on a nice, big TV. Already looking forward to my next visit!!! (Traducción de Google del inglés) ¡Gran lugar para la mejor cerveza artesanal de Baja California! Definitivamente la selección más grande y variada de Ensenada. Fácil de caminar desde los cruceros, está en una calle lateral (Av Riveroll) al otro lado de la carretera principal. Todo está en borrador, con excelentes precios (al menos para los estándares de EE. UU.) De alrededor de $ 4 por pinta. Tienen cerveceros más grandes como Wendlant, Agua Mala y Border Psycho, pero también muchos otros para explorar. No probé la comida pero se veía bien. El servicio fue EXCELENTE, fueron pacientes con nuestras preguntas, nos permitieron probar un par y nos encontraron los playoffs de la NFL en un televisor grande y agradable. Ya estoy deseando que llegue mi próxima visita!
