An awesome stop for breakfast, and pretty unexpected compared to the rest of the street that it's on. We came through on the way home from Valle, and had a delicious and relaxing meal here. Dining is outdoors but shaded on the patio and is very cute without being overly touristy and still being very cozy. The food was great - they started us with some bread and mix of requeson, pesto, which was seriously delicious. I ordered the portabello with chilorio, which came with a healthy heap of pork, which was delicious. The juices were excellent - both orange and green. Chilaquiles looked amazing as did the Marcelo special. Everyone was very happy with their food and the flavors did not disappoint. Excellent spot a little bit tucked away from the main tourist street and Malecon - definitely recommend. read more

Consistency, variety and quality come to mind when talking about the food, service and ambiance make this gem of a place worth the trip

Enseñada, México has many hidden gems scattered all over. Our friends P&B who were our guides for the weekend brought us here for a burnch/lunch. Everyone was quite hungry as we all didn't eat that often for breakfast. Firstly, I believe when you travel anywhere in México, it helps if you have someone that can speak the main language. Plus, you can use this opportunity to learn as well. It was amazing to me as I learned Spanish back in school and I could still understand conversations though I'm definitely a bit rusty in conversation. The main thing that was v memorable besides the flavors of their food was their complimentary addicting bread with the cheese. The method they used for the cheese which possibly has avocado/cilantro sauce was just a wonderful combo with the bread. Even more so if you got the bread warm! I had shared a grilled lamb barbacoa with my girlfriend/guide P and it was good! The grilled lamb meat was in a green tomatillo sauce - v well flavored in my opinion, and we ate it with tortillas, decorated it with cilantro or onion and even a sprinkle of lime! It was like having your own grilled lamb barbacoa taco! The rest of our group ordered dishes such as the portobello - which was a huge and packed dish! Eggs sunny side up over a portobello mushroom gratin with fresh cheese and months aged cheese and spinach. Def a lot of flavor in this packed dish. My boyfriend and other friend ordered the Pesca del día (Fish of the day) - boyfriend ordered it rare and my friend well done. The presentations for these were both nicely done. Majority of the table were fans of the well done pesca del día as some of us seemed to prefer our fish cooked. My boyfriend did enjoy his dish, as he is a huge fan of sashimi. Okay service. I originally didn't have a plate earlier but eventually got one after asking twice with the help of our guides. The waiters do speak quite fast in Spanish, so be prepared. Bathrooms were alright. Parking was right around the corner. Would come again! It's a little bit of a small haven inside. read more

Very cute outdoor vibes with fruit trees, snake plants, decor. Fresh squeezed orange brought nostalgia of when my mom made the same for me as a child. I ordered the chilaquiles verdes and the French toast. While we waited, we were served toast with cheese. It was very yummy! They always made sure our coffee was topped off! Restrooms were decent. Very cute place. Definitely order the French toast! read more

My first time in Ensenada and was looking for a breakfast spot and turned to Yelp for recommendations and Casa Marcelo stood out. Upon arrival the vibe and atmosphere was inviting, we ordered Orange Juice and I could taste the freshness. Not long after that a man walked in with crates of oranges, I was in the right place. I ordered Chilaquiles Rojos con Barbacoa de borrego with scramble eggs and let me tell you that this was the best chilaquiles I've ever tasted in my life. Our hosts explained to us that the restaurant is associated with a ranch/farm and most if not all the fresh ingredients came from there. Definitely a must try! read more

Casa Marcelo - The most delicious chilaquiles with carnitas that i've ever had. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ensenada, BCN

This breakfast place was wonderful! It is cute and quaint on the patio with trees, plants, and brick. It masks the somewhat of a busy street corner that isn't very appealing. The coffee was good, and they served homemade bread with ricotta cheese, pesto, and a guacamole garnish. What a lovely treat, and it tasted fantastic! The menu has a lot of great options. I ordered the chilaquiles with green sauce and barbacoa (probably could have gone for a half size) but OMG was it delicious. The Verde sauce was flavorful with good consistency throughout and the barbacoa was delicious, as to be expected. I would recommend this place to locals or travelers in Ensenada! read more

Wow, Mexico has such better food than San Diego LOL. This place was great for breakfast on our way back to to the states. Although there was a wait around 10am, the food was worth the wait! They brought a delicious cheese and warm bread out when we first sat down. I could not stop eating it, it was delicious. Our meals were equally as delicious. We both had lamb. Also, go to the cute ice cream shop next door and get the pistachio ice cream for $1! I probably wouldn't go back here because there's so many great places to eat at in Mexico. But you should go if you haven't been! read more

What a great breakfast spot! Food was delicious! Great flavors nice shade and plants. Loved eating in the patio, where you can help yourself to the fruit on the Guayaba tree.

I decided on the one star because this place needs to be knocked down a peg. The staff has no interest in arriving customers. I was eventually seated at the table to the far left once u enter- a locatuon that adds a hint of feces to my soon to come signature egg dish. Perhaps the neighbor had a heavy night and was testing the limits of his plumbing but I just don't enjoy the smell of another humans toilet when brunching. My food arrived and looked as beautiful as the yelp photos that brought me here but it was disappointing. Cooked eggs on top of lamb on top of very cold green peppers and raw mushrooms. The cold peppers turned my dish cold before I could eat it and I gave up. The food was 5 out of 10 at best and the need to sort out a waiting list so u don't stand at the entrance like a fool and watch Mexican locals walk in and seat themselves at tables with less of a decal aroma. read more

We had an 8 course tasting menu in Ensenada that blew us away. The chef came out to greet us afterwards and this was her breakfast recommendation... so here we came! Parking is tricky, roads are a little chaotic, but amongst the hustle and bustle is this little oasis with beautiful outdoor patio seating, FRESHLY SQUEEZED orange juice, dark roast coffee and a menu that excited. As a 4 person table we got: - Verde chilaquiles con carnitas 5/5 - Verde chilaquiles con pollo 5/5 - Barrego barbacoa 4/5 - Ribeye steak 5/5 - French toast 4/5 Just INCREDIBLE food. Fresh, deeply flavorful, beautifully presented and crafted dishes. Couldn't recommend this local gem more highly. Already looking forward to the next time we eat here! read more

Hi so when my family and I first came in we loved the energy and the ambiance but that quickly changed when we asked for cheese on the side and they forgot so we had to ask. Then we repeatedly asked for tortillas and the server gave it to two other tables before he ever got to us. My mom had to get up to ask because the tortillas never came. Also my sisters food was not good and she lost her appetite. Would not recommend. read more

I came here for brunch during a Christmas Trip to Mexico with my family. The restaurant is located on a main road and as soon as we arrived there were people waiting outside. Parking is scarce so you need to drive around the area to find a spot: We proceeded to enter the restaurant to put our name on the waiting list. The restaurant has the indoor/outdoor feel and some of the tables are set up under the roof while some are set up in the patio. We waited for about 30 minutes until we were finally seated. We had a party of 6 and we all started by ordering juices and coffee. The juices are all natural and very delicious! I would say the downside is that they did not have coffee pots for larger parties and we had to wait around for someone to come by to get new coffee. The waiter brought a complimentary appetizer of bread with a cheese and cilantro dipping sauce that was delicious! Just wished we had more bread to keep dipping. We had the steak and eggs, chilaquiles verdes y rojos and the Huevos Cazuela con Salsa Verde. All the dishes had a great presentation and exploded with flavor. There were no complains with the food. You also had the option of choosing what type of meat you wanted in your dish. We ordered some avocado as a side dish since my family loves avocados. I would say the restaurant was filled 50/50 with tourist and locals. The waiter spoke English and Spanish with was extremely helpful! They also have a gelato place right next door with natural gelato! read more

Food was really good, has been the last two times we came. Worth the wait, if you come on the weekends sometimes there is a wait.

I had really high expectations of this place and I was really disappointed with the seemingly overhyped chilaquiles. It was four of us who came here for breakfast and 3 of us ordered the green chilaquiles and one of us ordered the Plato Marcelo. Our friend who ordered Plato Marcelo absolutely loved it, but the rest of us didn't like the chilaquiles. I can't quite spot out what was wrong with the dish other than I wasn't getting any flavor whatsoever. I felt like I was eating salt less salsa with salt less cream with saltless chips. The one thing I ended up loving and actually purchasing some to go was there complimentary requezon. That was absolutely delicious. read more

Was tired of eating down in the marina/tourist district and have been looking more inland and found this place! What a hidden gem! Pleasant courtyard and spacious dining area, courteous staff (bilingual even though we're fluent in Spanish), very reasonable prices, and best of all great food! We had the Chilaquiles with Barbacoa, scrambled huevos and veggies with salsa verde served in a cast iron pan with fresh juice and it was great. Easily enough for 2 people. Looking forward to eating there again on our next trip to Ensenada. read more
