Ahead of our brief time in Ensanada, we made it point to create an itinerary that let us explore…read morephysically, but also through food and drink, so we made sure a local coffee shop and Birrieria we're on the list, and I am so glad that birrieria turned out to be this spot in Zona Centro of Ensanada! Authentic, in every sense of the word, is how to describe Birrieria La Guadalajara. From the food, drinks, service, atmosphere and overall experience from entry to exit. Even though we were sweating the whole time, some from the sauces and some from the heat, we absolutely loved it! Before you even get to ordering, they bring out an egg assortment of toppings including limes, radishes, onions, cilantro and a trio of dips along with fresh tortilla chips. Each table has a standing bowl of red sauce that is authentic and spicy! But it is perfection on any taco along with the other toppings. So, just do it! The menu is straightforward and features a variety of birria including the classic beef, pork, lamb, cabeza, goat and tongue. If birria isn't your thing, they also have steak in a few varieties. Once you decide on protein, you then choose how it's served. Regular tacos, Quesotaco, or as a plate. With these you get to choose from flour or corn tortillas. Each plate and/or taco comes with refried beans and guacamole. Most of us decided on the sampler method, getting a variety of meats and birria. I personally went with the beef, lamb and pork quesotacos all served in fresh flour tortillas. The tacos were phenomenal! I had been on vacation for close to 8 days by the time we ate here and these tacos were the best bite of my trip! Overall, an absolute must try when in Ensanada!

Don't miss the salsas located to the left of the stand. I didn't see that and one of the employees was so kind and help dress up my tostadas to my spice preference. Also make sure to get the horchata, as it was the best I've ever had! It was sweet, creamy, and spiced well. This place is in my top 10 favorite bites of all time, it's so simple but so good.

I'm willing to pay for the table! That said, if you're going for the famous sea urchin (erizo) tostada, I think you'll have to eat in the restaurant because they simply just make it better than the stand. I tried from both places, only the restaurant would have the famous peanut sauce on it. The half shell platter also seemed to have fresher seafood than the stand, maybe coz it's chilled better? Service was great! Our server gave us recommendations and checked on us periodically. We came around 10:30am and was able to get a table outside. (Interesting note: the table was way too high for the chairs lol) Overall wonderful experience and definitely a must-stop for me now whenever I'm in Ensenada again!

The food was delicious! So much flavor in everything! The place is small - with about 4 tables of 4 and one bigger table for a group of 6-7. It was still very warm outside and with their stoves on it gets very hot inside, they have a couple fans that help - but only a bit! Easy to walk to from the port. Very affordable, no alcohol (that's what the drink package on board is for anyways!) but they do have a variety of sodas; bottled and cans as well as water bottles, horchata and jamaica. They take cash and card and can convert in dollars. I hope you give La Comadre a try! You'll love it!!
