    Trust me if you're in town try this place out. I always enjoy going where the locals go and just…read moreoff the main road this place is nestled. Lots of seating , friendly staff, fresh ingredients and delicious tacos. These were authentic, flavorful and pure goodness. Complimentary chips and salsa to start and although it was piping hot the consome was packed with flavor and a tad bit of spice. The meat so tender in the tacos. I ordered the birria taco plate 1 lamb 2 beef and I should have got 2 lamb. The cook was phenomenal the meat was so juicy and tender.

    This Birrieria came recommended by our fellow Yelp community. Located central of Ensenada and near…read moremarketplaces and shopping centers. I came here during lunch hour on a Monday and it seemed moderately busy. Quite the cozy place, very comfortable and it was decorated with Christmas decor. I was seated quickly, and my order was taken efficiently. Chips and salsa quickly came out along with the condiments I would later use on my meal. Overall, I received excellent table service. The focus of this restaurant is on Birria, both beef and lamb. There isn't a variety of other Mexican dishes here such as enchiladas, burritos or seafood. There is instead a plethora of ways to eat the Birria including tacos, quesa-birria, and stew bowls only in beef or lamb. No chicken or vegetarian options available. I ordered the lamb Birria, which came in a standard sized bowl. The portions were modest, and the ratio from broth to chunks of meat was reasonable. While this place was highly rated, I found my meal to be average in both size and taste. When it comes to this delicious dish, I am a bit of a connoisseur, and I've had birria in different parts of Mexico, including Mexicali, Guadalajara, Ensenada and outside of Mexico- restaurants throughout Los Angeles and all the way up to northern California. This was not the best tasting birria I have experience up-to-date but it also was not disappointing. The flavors were standard and fair yet not memorable. I would recommend this establishment. Tip: my usual order at these places is the stew in a bowl with a side of corn tortillas. For those with larger appetites, I would suggest ordering the same thing, but consider adding one-to-two quesa-Birrias to reach satisfaction. I would return here but also leave my options open to try the competition.

It's usually the freshly made to order Guacamole and chips to snack while we wait for our food. I had their Spinach and cheese omelette, without salsa , today.. well cooked, still soft in the middle. Do not miss the fluffy pancakes, you can ask to have them before or after your entree. Service was good . They refill our coffee often and cleared the dishes soon we were done .

For that reason, I have not ordered pancakes when visiting the Ensenada area. However, a friend recommended Victor's a pancake was complementary at the end of the meal. I was so pleasantly surprised with the taste and texture of the pancake. It is one of the best I have tasted. We had the manchaca and chilaquiles, both were great. I don't have a picture of the pancake because we all enjoyed it... it went fast !! . I've been to Victor's twice and each time I have enjoyed the breakfast and especially the pancake! The service is great. They are very accommodating. it is a popular place among the locals. The ambience is family friendly establishment. I highly recommend Victor's!
