    Omelette de Chilorio
    Jose R.

    Food was amazing including the ambience. If you're staying in Ensenada in the city, go to this restaurant for breakfast.

    I came in with high expectations based on all the great reviews, but the experience ended up being pretty underwhelming. The service was slow, and the food was just okay.. nothing particularly memorable. We ordered the avena, tostada de camarón, mole with pork belly, and machaca sinaloense. The tostada was our favorite dish, and the orange juice was good as well, but overall nothing really stood out. It was just a mediocre experience.

    Chilaquiles con Cordero
    Amanda D.

    10/10 the lamb chilaquiles were DELICIOUS!!! Best I've ever had I also got the mushroom and egg my first time trying something like that and I honestly wasn't disappointed!! Beautiful dining area great for family and friends! The service was fast and efficient! Amazing prices!!

    Patio

    The Ambiance, Food and Service were all fantastic. I went for breakfast. I hugely recommend. I can't wait to try dinner next time I'm in town!

    Muy rico, pero lo mejor es el lugar. Es un patio muy bello con árboles, nos encantó. Los chilaquiles rojos con pollo me gustaron mucho.

    We visit here for brunch every time we are in Ensenada. As a creature of habit I always get the omelet hongos which is terrific and my partner tends to try new things. He's loved the barbacoa and the cochinita pibil but last week he didn't love Plato Marcelo - felt the cheese was too congealed. Their house cheese with pan is delicious, the sauces on my omelette are also as good, I believe it's beet, pumpkin and a herb sauce. They have a great garden to sit (good weather is a must) there's some cover but it wouldn't suffice in rain. And a new addition of a friendly kitty (always my favorite!)

    Este lugar es increíble. La comida está bien deliciosa. Los chilaquiles son lo máximo.

    "dry" machaca. Not worth ordering.
    Nathaniel F.

    Really loved the idea of this place. Kind of a farm to table situation. Unfortunately, the food wasn't nearly as good as the concept. Unripe Orange Juice. I love that it was fresh squeezed, but it would have been better as a ceviche or carnitas marinade. The dry style machaca was overly salty. I should have known better than to order meat "floss". The flavors were unbalanced and not good. Black beans were dry with mediocre flavor. They reminded me of the first couple of times I made refried beans. The chilaquiles were also a dud. And everything we ate sat in our stomachs like a rock. Heavy and bloated. On a positive note, our breakfast was inexpensive. But ironically pretentious menu. And nothing we tried tasted good.

    This is some of the best breakfast I've had in Ensenada. The service was great and the food was amazing. Our waiter was very friendly and asked if we needed an English menu. It appears to be a local hot a lot for breakfast. The best part was being greeted by the restaurant cat named Bola.

    Good breakfast they have a cat that watches you eat from the tree. I would recommend to come early

    Sangria
    Christine T.

    Loved their sangria. Wasn't overly sweet. I got the 2 eggs plate with seasonal vegetables and beans. The seasonal vegetables were ok - it was nopales. The eggs however were cooked to perfection. I got over easy. Service did take a while but didn't mind too much because of their outdoor cat. Very cute cat. Very friendly.

    Chilaquiles rojo

    Went for breakfast looking for an authentic, local experience, and was not disappointed! I ordered the chilaquiles red with carnitas and it was so good! Would definitely recommend and come back next time I'm in Ensenada.

    The very best Chilaquiles I've ever had. This place was so friggin good. Luckily we walked to this place because if you were randomly driving in this area, you just might miss it. We walked in and shortly after a waiter greeted us and sat us at a table. What was cool was that the guy spoke pretty good english too. When I looked around it literally felt like I was at someone's home. Super homie feels. I think what I liked about the Chilaquiles the most was all the different flavors I tasted with fried chips, the salsa and the freshness and of everything else in the dish. Did I mention that we got tons of food? The price seemed too good to be true that we ended up giving them a huge tip. But yea. If ever comeback to Ensenada, I definitely know where I'm coming for breakfast.

Tucked away from the busy tourist strip, we found what every traveler hopes to find: genuine hospitality, honest prices, and incredible food. The staff treated us exactly like they treated the locals--with respect, warmth, and zero pressure. No tourist traps, no inflated prices, just outstanding food made right. Every dish was packed with flavor, the homemade sauces were absolutely phenomenal, and the service was some of the best we've experienced anywhere in Mexico. What impressed us most was the value. The quality of the food and service easily deserved a much higher price tag, yet everything was refreshingly fair and affordable. If you're visiting the area and want an authentic local experience with amazing food, stop searching and come here. This was hands down one of the highlights of our trip.

My breakfast was covered with cheese and cilantro (which I hate!). I picked off as much cilantro as I could, and I also scraped some cheese off. Unfortunately, the chilaquiles just didn't taste very good. I barely ate my breakfast. My husband didn't care for his breakfast either. There was way too much meat and barely any eggs. They provided complimentary chips and salsa, which were good. My green juice was delicious. Unfortunately, we were both disappointed, and I don't think we'd ever eat here again.

Additionally, when we went it was a Sunday and there was a woman singing outdoor on the patio and she was great. Really good voice and people (locals) kept going up to her / saying hi which I thought was neat because it made Ensenada feel like a small town.
