Service - 5 stars !! Ambience - 5 stars Alfresco dining They offer blankets and heaters if it gets chilly. Cushions available for your seat. A nice size plate of fresh jicama with tajin and 3 sauces with different heat levels are served. Great cocktails Appetizer- Brie quesadilla Remember, looks aren't everything. When the quesadilla arrived it looked plain and basic. But boy when you add the accompanied grilled onions, fresh chopped poblano's & one of the sauces it is absolutely amazing. Entree- Pulpo Taquero The octopus was tender and the seasoning was delicious. This was plenty of food for the 2 of us. But wait! Now that I've tasted it I don't want to share anymore!!! It was so good, we fought over every last piece. We recommend and we can't wait to go back. read more

I'm glad to have found this spot through Yelp. Food is very tasty. food faves: you must get the octopus where you make your own taco. sooo flavorful. also had the bluefin tuna sashimi. the ribeye wasn't a good cut as it was fatty. service is a bit slow. a few servers who speak english. most seats are outside but they had a few tables with an overhang so ideal when it's rainy season. the salsa they provide at the beginning is varies in spice level. i enjoyed the jicama with tajin read more

One of the best dining experiences in Ensenada. Not only was the food delicious and incredible, but the service and staff were fantastic. Standout menu items include: Tortilla Soup (Sopa de tortilla), the Potato + Shrimp Soup (Crema de papa con camarón), Risotto and Steak (Risotto con arrachera) and the lamb chops (Chuletas de borrego). The ambiance of the entire place is stunning. Outdoor dining with lights in the trees is truly perfect. Can't wait to go back! read more

Boules - Great seafood in a garden atmosphere followed by a good customer service. Good variety of local craft beers. - Mexican Near Me - Ensenada, BCN

Glad to have patron this restaurant during our Baja vacation. The food was cooked and plated with excellence. Must orders: duck risotto & octopus taco. Risotto wasn't great BUT the duck was amazing. It tasted like beef, juicy and tender, not gamy or chewy. The octopus taco was only good but the plating of the food was what made it worth ordering. We also ordered the yellow tail sashimi since that was the only option and oysters. Both dishes were fresh and delicious. Never had oysters with soy sauce but the combination was very palatable. My 16yo ordered the New York steak. The meat was cooked and seasoned wonderfully but too much fat. Tip: The restaurant brings out jicama with 3 hot sauces. Beware of the orange sauce, extremely spicy but extremely addicting. Also, there is no English menu and staff speaks limited English so good luck to those that do not speak or understand Spanish. Ambiance of the restaurant is very casual and relaxing with lots of greeneries that set a good vibe. I personally think the service could have been better since we had to track down another waiter after waiting 15 minutes for our server to return. There was also no refill on the craft of water or coffee. Nor did our server ask if we wanted more. The best part, our total bill came out to about $151USD. For this type of meal and culinary skill, it was very affordable. Overall, a real local gem! read more

Super cute outdoor dining. The food was really tasty when we got it, but we had to wait over 45 minutes for some of the dishes for no reason. Ordered three drinks, of which two came at a reasonable time but we had to ask three more times for the gin and tonic and it arrived after the other drinks had been finished. Incredibly slow. Cannot recommend. read more

Wow, this place really masters ambience, service, & quality of food. Such reasonable prices compared to restaurant in Valle de Guadalupe, but in my opinion better overall cuisine. The garden is beautiful and feels like you are in a magazine spread. Nice lively neighborhood with a park nearby for a stroll after dinner. read more

The owner here, Javier, is a gracious host that has set up a beautiful ambiance. With the large, old trees swaying in the breeze overhead, the bocci ball court on the deck below and a menu that can satisfy all food preferences, this place is a hit. We came to Ensenada last November and it's the only place we repeated except for Animalon. What draws us here is the bone marrow tacos. Four gigantic bones come with corn tortillas, a delicious pico de gallo finely chopped, carmelized red onions and a trio of hot sauces if you want them. Don't tell Javier, but in the states they would charge $20 and here it is $9. We also had the mushroom risotto which was rich and creamy, but the star was the seared, sliced duck breast on top. It was crispy, perfectly cooked and seasoned and made a great pairing. We split both and my husband and I both walked away full. read more

Oh what a treat this place is! So happy we decided to try this place based on the recommendations of a couple friends who live down in Ensenada. Everything we had (Except the flank steak tacos) was amazing. We got tomahawk steaks, lamb risotto, shrimp pasta, octopus tacos, sashimi, ceviche, fried mushrooms, asparagus & 2 different deserts- we ordered a lot!! Everything we ordered was fantastic, really fantastic! I would definitely come back. The ambiance is nice, big open air with big 3 sections to eat at. The service was good & the waiter made good recommendations. If you're down in Ensenada & looking for a relatively upscale place that won't disappoint- look no further. Happy eating! read more

Great vibe, good service, food good but not amazing. Grilled oysters gratinee were fantastic, but skirt steak tacos and pork loin in adobo just meh.. especially for the price. I might go again, but be much more strategic with my food choices. read more

De todo lo que pedimos estas dos cosas estaban muy ricas, lo demás o le faltaba sal o por ejemplo La jicama estaba seca o vieja, el lugar muy bonito pero la calidad de la comida no la mejor y el servicio fue pésimo, mucho personal para servicio así, la comida tardó mucho tiempo en salir. El mesero bueno peto la cocina no le ayudo, los platillos tardaron mucho. Otra cosa si el pescado dice viene con risotto por que lo traen con ensalada? No regresaría, caro y pérdida de tiempo. read more

Simply incredible. A truly enchanting, unforgettable dining experience. Hats off to Javier aka Javi and his team for what they've created. The location is magical. Hiding in plain sight behind concrete walls and a wine shop is an outdoor wonderland: gorgeous trees, string lights, and comfortable seating. The staff could not have been more warm and welcoming. Though it was our first time, we felt like regulars. Actually, we felt like family. Though there was a QR code menu, Javi asked how hungry we were and if we had any dietary restrictions. Then he chose two perfect dishes. 1) Grilled zucchini topped with feta, sun dried tomatoes, and olive oil. It was simply perfect. Tender, flavorful, delicate, and balanced. Light and delicious - the perfect way to start our meal. 2) Seabass: grilled to absolute perfection. As fresh as can be, well-seasoned, and paired with risotto and salad. The former was creamy, rich deliciousness and the lighter provided a great contrast to the other elements on the plate. By the way, you get a perfect side dish of jicama topped with spice and three distinct salsas to compliment your meal. 3) Dessert! corn cake. Sublime. Not too sweet or decadent. A perfect ending to the meal. It's hard to imagine someone not falling in love with this restaurant. A must-visit when in Ensenada. Cannot wait for our next visit so we can try more of the menu, enjoy the dining space, and of course, connect with the amazing staff. Thank you! read more

Great place for dinner with a big group in Ensenada, with a great outdoor space beneath some trees with large tables. They do family style and will bring you out a few of each dish based on how many people you have. Our waiter made suggestions for all of our dishes and did a great job with the amount of food and selections - we loved everything we ate! For food we got: - Ahi tuna: really amazing seasoning on the outside, a mix of blackened and sesame seeds, and seared slightly so not totally raw with a side salad - Brie quesadilla: never would have thought to put Brie into a quesadilla but it was delicious, one of my favorite items - Spinach and artichoke dip: this was almost like a deconstructed artichoke dip with the artichokes on top of tomatoes, cheese, and avocado with some type of oil and herb based sauce on top and bread to eat it with. It was very refreshing. - Fish: very light in an Asian inspired soy based sauce - Octopus tacos: people loved this and it comes on a fun build your own board, but I could eat because I'm allergic - Scallops: also a favorite of the night from the table - Sausage tacos: surprisingly very good although not the type of sausage I expected them to come with - more of a hot dog type of situation - Steak frites: fries had delicious seasoning and steak was also good but I'm not a huge steak person Drinks: - carajillo: very delicious with strong coffee, will definitely put a pep in your step! - Mezcal drink with cucumber and pineapple maybe: refreshing and tasty - Whiskey drink: some people got a purplish whiskey drink in a coupe glass that was also delicious Our table ordered plenty for the group of 10 and about 3 drinks each and it was such a reasonable price. Great vibes, food, service And would definitely come back! read more

This place is probably a 5, but my experience was a 4. I had a great time there. The owner came to say hello and told me all about his time living in the random part of the US where I now live. I was only disappointed because it's really hard for me to make sense of places where there is a menu but it also seems like there's tons that's off menu and that most people are ordering the latter. I almost got the impression that if I talked the guy into it, he'd some how procure the beef bone marrow (tuétano) tacos that I had come in for originally but which were not on offer at that time. It's just like people say: this place feels more like it's someone's backyard than a restaurant. Despite that, the service was still excellent and the food was as well. I just really wanted that tuétano, you know? Like this whole town is full of fish and sometimes you need to eat something that had legs. read more

Tasty food, good service and very cozy.

Had a reservation for my large group and we just happened to arrive right as the after party for a international bocci ball tournament was arriving, so we had probably a different experience than most have. Our waiter came over and with a laugh let us know that "the menu is shit tonight" because they had run out of a lot of things due to the amount of people there. He took care of us though and made recommendations based on what we were in to. He even helped find us something that worked for our groups dietary restrictions. We started with a some mezcal cocktails that were light and really easy to drink paired with some jicama and some incredibly robust (and spicy) salsas. From there we had some yellowtail sashimi that had a beautiful miso sauce and jalapeño. The hits kept coming with a savory tacos de cicina, tacos huitlacochce, queso fundido, and calabaza asada to name a few. It was all heavenly! After we were thoroughly stuffed someone ordered all the deserts, and though I thought I couldn't eat anything else - one taste of the each of the deserts made it all worthwhile. If you're in Ensenada and want to eat unique Mexican cuisine in a spot with a cool outdoor vibe and drinks, this is your spot! read more

My friends and I loved everything about this restaurant. The service was top notch, the ambiance was perfect and the food was muy excelente! The sashimi appetizer was so fresh and perfectly seasoned. The seafood risotto was delicious and very filling. I loved my vodka and dragonfruit drink and my friend loved her margaritas. The servers were so attentive and helpful. And the bill was 1/4 of what it would have cost in the Bay Area or Los Angeles. I would definitely come back here. read more

Great food and ambiance. A hidden gem in Ensenada! Will definitely be returning on future trips!

Main issue here the service sucks really bad and out of 10servers 2-3 were great the rest are a bunch of young guys just cussing in front of customers and just standing ducks with no communication with customers took 15-20min for a server to even take our drink order. But! The food was great if it wasn't for the service I'd give it 5 stars the whole restaurant is visually appealing. read more

This place is very special, and I'm not sure if it could be replicated anyplace else in the world. The wait staff and bar team was absolutely phenomenal, second to none. Negroni was perfect and there were many not so common spirits - and a variety of craft beer styles - behind the bar. Despite this place being more wine centric. There was something for everyone! The food came out quickly yet was prepared with a level that typically makes you wait. We ordered many different plates, but the ceviche and artichoke dip blew us a way. "Fresh" was the main thing that came to mind while we dined. The overall vibe cannot really be described, so you need to experience for yourself. It's probably going to be your favorite too. Tranquilo! read more

Good service and food. Delicious food everytime. Outdoors and comfy seating. Thank you. Great place. Highly recommend.

This was our first meal in Ensenada and by far my favorite meal of the entire trip. From my understanding we went to Boules new location in downtown Ensenada, prior it was located next to the ocean. We had driven down on a Wednesday and the 5 of us were starving. Becky put this as the first spot to hit up when we got in. So once we settled into the house we booked through airbnb, we drove down to Boules for dinner. We parked right out front and walked in. We didn't need reservations for this place. Outdoor seating with bocce ball on the side. They've got an outdoor oven. Cute outdoor patio seating. The owner Javie, greeted us. He was so nice! Tristan told him to serve us whatever he recommended and everything was amazing! My favorite dishes here were the Blue Fin Tuna sashimi served with bread. The bread was perfect, not too soft and not too hard. Put a little tuna on top and it melts in your mouth. Also best salad I had was from here, I think it was the dressing that made it amazing. The salad came with the fish dish. They were so nice, we had a dog with us, and they gave us a good hunk of chicken to feed to him! While we were leaving we mentioned to Javie we were going fishing the following day, and he offered to grill up our fish the next day if we caught any!!! If I ever go back down here, this would be my first stop for food! It was delicious! read more
