    We came here during our city tour during on our Ensenada stop on our cruise and I'm glad he took us…read morehere as it was super delicious. We showed up in the afternoon and there were only a few people here. Our tour guide told us this was his favorite spot and that we had to try them, so we told him we were down to give it a try. We got a bunch of tacos to give all the meats a try, but the stand outs were by far the fish tacos and my Mulita of Carne Asada. My wife also got a Chorizo taco and she said it was really delicious. They bring the tacos out to you with all the sauces, and they are for sure all made fresh. You can taste the freshness. On top of that you can't beat the price. The workers are also all super nice. Just a heads up it's not right on the Main Street where most tours or cruise ships lead you but if you can get a ride or have someone take you here I highly recommend you come try this place out.

    This spot exceeded expectations. On the drive from Ensenada to Tecate, this was in the perfect spot…read moreright before transferring highways. There was plenty of parking at the Smart and Final next door, and this is a great spot with plenty of seating for groups of 4. The pescado tacos here are to die for but my favorite was definitely the camarón taco . They give you generous portions of the pickled red onion and salsas on the side, so load up your tacos! My mouth is salivating thinking about this spot. The jalepenos were incredibly spicy though, so pick up a horchata from their drink fridge to cool down your tongue!

    Be sure to ask how much everything costs before ordering. The guy standing outside who seats you…read moremay try to overcharge. He tried getting me to order me guacamole and chips, I asked how much, he said $14 USD, I declined yet he still tried to bring it to my table which I declined a second time. Payment is cash only (USD accepted). That said, the tacos were delicious. The meats were marinated so well and were addicting. The tortillas were handmade and had an excellent texture. Prices might not be the cheapest but it's worth it for a great meal.

    While all the cruise ship passengers are getting their drink on at Papas & Beer (we started there)…read moresave your appetite and head a block away to La Comadre for some of the best tacos you'll ever have. It's not hard to find, but unlike so any other options, it's not loud or flashy. We weren't ushered in by some guy on the street promising "the best" of anything. It's small, but clean.. you order at the counter.. my wife and I were the only gringos in there, and we don't speak Spanish. We were quickly presented with a sample plate of all the meats available for their tacos. The wife and I each got a Birria taco and I also got a chicken taco with some of the best Mole sauce I've ever had. They had a table set up in back with all the fixings and salsas you could ask for and the tacos came with beans and rice. We grabbed a bottle of water from the cooler, and the whole meal came to $13 with a tip!!! I mean, that's an unbelievable value for your money. The tacos were incredible. The beans and rice were delicious and the corn tortillas were homemade and some of the best we've ever had. The wife and I often use Yelp! to find places exactly like this, and once again, it did not disappoint. If you're in Ensenada do yourself a favor and skip all the hype spots and go find this place for some amazing food at incredible prices!!

    We always come to Ensenada from our Royal Carribean cruise and have been wanting to try this spot…read morefor awhile. Yummy stuff, their fish tacos were delicious. We got beef asada and fried fish pescado. I believe it was only $2.50 per taco so not the cheapest but definitely by far the most affordable and yummy in the touristy area. It's a perfect walkable distance from the cruise port. You can pay USD cash and it shows on their payment terminal the conversion. I don't know how to double check if the conversion was 100% accurate but just from a little google go the current conversion and counting out how many tacos we ordered, everything seemed to check out!! They have tables for you to sit at inside but open facing so you're covered from the sun/rain. It comes with 3 different salsas, bowl of limes, and my favorite part is the grilled jalapeño and green onions - omg so good! I'll definitely be coming back if I'm in town. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the Asada just needed more flavor and not as cooked. I prefer a juicy medium Asada but I know that that's not how it's always eaten, just wish there was more flavor. Coming from Arizona I fortunately get to eat a lot of amazing Mexican food!

    Hole in the wall taco shop that's on the Main Street right outside of the Ensenada port area. There…read morewere benches and tables and the owners were welcoming us in to try their tacos so we did. We ordered two pastor tacos on corn tortillas which were quite tasty. They had salsas and radishes on the table. The two tacos came out to $5.29 which is similar to US taco Tuesday pricing. Tastes very authentic.
