    Beautiful food with great service. Very quick always and good prices. I visit El Flamazo every time I come down. It never disappoints. The paletas are incredible but I cannot take a picture because they will melt before I can eat them. I love the jamaica here, it is so fresh.

    Ask for the green avocado salsa, super good burn!

    This place is legit! I can't believe it's not on Yelp with a gazillion 5 star reviews! Stopped here while on a carnival cruise and its HANDS DOWN, thhhheeeee best tacos I've ever had in my life!!!! Everything is amazing from melt in your mouth carne asada to their quesatacos! I swear every place I go to from now on has to live up to this! I'm forever changed!

    No frills, delicious tacos. Exactly what I want from an Adobado taco when in Baja.

    Trust me if you're in town try this place out. I always enjoy going where the locals go and just…read moreoff the main road this place is nestled. Lots of seating , friendly staff, fresh ingredients and delicious tacos. These were authentic, flavorful and pure goodness. Complimentary chips and salsa to start and although it was piping hot the consome was packed with flavor and a tad bit of spice. The meat so tender in the tacos. I ordered the birria taco plate 1 lamb 2 beef and I should have got 2 lamb. The cook was phenomenal the meat was so juicy and tender.

    This Birrieria came recommended by our fellow Yelp community. Located central of Ensenada and near…read moremarketplaces and shopping centers. I came here during lunch hour on a Monday and it seemed moderately busy. Quite the cozy place, very comfortable and it was decorated with Christmas decor. I was seated quickly, and my order was taken efficiently. Chips and salsa quickly came out along with the condiments I would later use on my meal. Overall, I received excellent table service. The focus of this restaurant is on Birria, both beef and lamb. There isn't a variety of other Mexican dishes here such as enchiladas, burritos or seafood. There is instead a plethora of ways to eat the Birria including tacos, quesa-birria, and stew bowls only in beef or lamb. No chicken or vegetarian options available. I ordered the lamb Birria, which came in a standard sized bowl. The portions were modest, and the ratio from broth to chunks of meat was reasonable. While this place was highly rated, I found my meal to be average in both size and taste. When it comes to this delicious dish, I am a bit of a connoisseur, and I've had birria in different parts of Mexico, including Mexicali, Guadalajara, Ensenada and outside of Mexico- restaurants throughout Los Angeles and all the way up to northern California. This was not the best tasting birria I have experience up-to-date but it also was not disappointing. The flavors were standard and fair yet not memorable. I would recommend this establishment. Tip: my usual order at these places is the stew in a bowl with a side of corn tortillas. For those with larger appetites, I would suggest ordering the same thing, but consider adding one-to-two quesa-Birrias to reach satisfaction. I would return here but also leave my options open to try the competition.
