The menu is a little hard to read/understand if you don't speak spanish but I just looked things up on my phone before ordering. Our tour guide recommended we stop in here, so I don't have any other local eateries to compare it to, but we had a delicious meal here and would recommend if you are a birria fan.

I had the Singapur Tostada for $180 MXN and it was loaded with tons of fresh seafood. The star was the Smoked Marlin tostada for $50 MXN -- it was so flavorful and fresh! Don't miss the salsas located to the left of the stand. I didn't see that and one of the employees was so kind and help dress up my tostadas to my spice preference. Also make sure to get the horchata, as it was the best I've ever had! It was sweet, creamy, and spiced well. This place is in my top 10 favorite bites of all time, it's so simple but so good.

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.

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!

Prices might not be the cheapest but it's worth it for a great meal.

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!!

You can follow the crowd toward whatever tourist approved establishment has the biggest sign and the loudest music, or you can walk a little closer to the water, find the place the locals clearly know about, and sit down before anyone else from the ship figures out what you just found. My wife and I chose option two and ended up at El Chente, an outdoor spot close enough to the port that we could still see the ship while eating, which felt like the perfect level of adventure without actually going rogue. We ordered the Ceviche Tostino served in a bag, essentially a walking taco format but with ceviche, which is either the most brilliant delivery system for seafood or proof that the galaxy's best ideas are always the simplest ones. Every bite had the kind of freshness that reminds you why ceviche exists in the first place: bright, citrusy, packed with crisp vegetables and seafood that tasted like it had no interest in being anywhere other than exactly where it was. We also ordered a tostada ceviche, which arrived flat and loaded and just as fresh, the kind of dish that makes you eat slowly because you don't want it to be over. Both were paired with a Corona, which in the Ensenada sun at an outdoor table next to the water is not just a beverage choice but a philosophical stance on how a port day should go. No dark side energy anywhere on this patio. Just good food, cold beer, and the quiet satisfaction of two people who made the right call the moment they got off the ship. Five stars. El Chente is the kind of Rebel outpost you hope to find every time you dock somewhere new and almost never do. We found it. Remember the name.
