    Food truck located in a food truck park near work. Woman was very kind when taking our order. Did not wait long for our 3 orders She gave us to go ramekins and encouraged us to take many of her hot sauces. The food was flavored so perfectly we did not even use them. Tacos have the perfect amount of meat and topping ratio. The sauce she puts on them all have some heat. She also bakes fresh brownies daily.

    Taco Dorado

    I was lucky enough to check out Ensenada for the first time when they hosted a pop-up with Tozi Foods, and I was blown away by everything! The all female squad showed up and showed out! Everyone was so sweet and warm and welcoming! And when it came to the food, it was top notch. The Taco Dorado was amazing and it hit all the right marks. But the real winner to me was the oyster taco. I was skeptical of the taco because I'm not the biggest fan of oysters (they are hit or miss to me), but this taco made me a believer. The crunch from the batter, the spice from the sauce, and the freshness from the veggie made each bite absolutely spectacular! I think I officially like oysters now. Needless to say, this spot needs to be on your radar!

    Shrimp Taco con todo

    I recently had the pleasure of trying Ensenada ATX on Cinco De Mayo after a hankering for tacos. It was my first time I had ever heard of the spot and I am so happy I accidentally stumbled upon it while scrolling the map on Apple Maps! As a true Southern Californian, I am very passionate about the quality of a fish taco and Baja style Mexican food in general. These were FANTASTIC. I ordered one fish and one shrimp taco, both were dressed with their slaw and house made red salsa. The fish and shrimp were battered to perfection and were sooooo light and airy-- they melted in my mouth. The portions were generous and I was happy after the two tacos. The woman that greeted me, I believe the owner, was so so sweet and welcoming. The food came out so quickly and was beyond hot and fresh. I can't wait to come back with friends and family and show them my new favorite spot! Thank you Ensenada ATX for bringing me a little flavor from home

    Fish tacos, ceviche, and brownie

    I was hungry and craving fish tacos while in the area so I decided to try Ensenada ATX. The staff was lovely and their daughter was selling her homemade treats right in front of the truck. I ordered the following: Fish taco con todo $7 Tostadas de ceviche $8 The fish taco con todo comes filled with cod, their secret batter recipe, cabbage, pico de gallo, and mayo sauce on corn tortilla. The ceviche comes with ensenada style fish ceviche with pico de gallo con todo mayo and avocado. Both items were excellent! I almost went back for another order of fish tacos, but refrained since I also ordered a brownie from their daughter's table. The brownie was moist and delightful. This was honestly one of my favorite meals during my stay in Austin!

    I came to this spot last weekend as I was in the area. For those of you who don't habla Espanol, the namesake of this location 'ensenada' translates to "bay" in English. It can also refer to the following: an inlet, which is a small bay in the coastline of a sea or lake or a cove, or a small bay or inlet of the sea. Soooooo what should be served here? Tacos which are made from fish and/or things from the sea. When here, I ordered two menu items to include a shrimp taco and ceviche. I am personally a fan of wild-caught shrimp, such as the Key West Pink Shrimp from Florida's coast, as they add a healthful boost to any meal. These shrimp thrive on a natural diet of plankton, snails, and small fish, making them an excellent and nutritious choice for anyone looking to eat a bit healthier. In general, I enjoy just about every kind of taco, but any type of crispy seafood taco just holds a special place in my heart... and stomach! These crispy shrimp tacos were plump and accompanied by slaw and pico de gallo. The shrimp batter on this dish was bold enough to stand alone and required little salsa as illustrated by the accompanying photo for this review. The ceviche was fresh and was finished off with a bit of lime. Both menu items were perfection and would make a great summer or spring time meal. As a special treat, a contestant from master-chef junior who is the food truck owners granddaughter/daughter was selling her home made brownies in front of the truck. I was lucky enough to snag two decadent peppermint brownies. This truck offers not only tacos but three generations of homemade local goods made with love. #supportlocal

    Shrimp and Fish Taco
    Alan H.

    Shrimp taco over fish taco ! A taco food truck focused on seafood tacos. I highly recommend the shrimp taco over the fish taco if you had to choose just one. Both delicious but the shrimp taco was just more crispier! The food truck is located in Arbor Food Park along with other good food trucks. There's a good amount of picnic tables for you to dine at.

    Ceviche
    Jade M.

    This food was so good. We got fish tacos, taco de camaron (gobernador) and ceviche. All was so tasty. The service was helpful in navigating the menu making great recommendations. It was warm out but the shade was so nice. The picnic tables were clean. Can't wait to go back again before we leave town.

    Really solid seafood! We got the ceviche, fish tacos, shrimp tacos-all fresh and delicious. It's in a nice outdoor food truck park and the service is fast. Make sure to get the limonada too, it's the perfect drink to wash down tacos.

    I would have never known about this place other than my friend saying I have to try her homemade fish taco.... and her muse - Ensenada. So fish tacos are my jam. It's just, where do you find them? So of course I had to try this place out immediately. She was right - fish.tacos.on.point. The batter was crunchy, flavorful, not too thick. The fish was nice and meaty. Not fishy at all. The slaw was thinly shredded adding a nice cool crisp crunch contrast. The sauce just right and not overpowering. The tortilla was thin enough to not overpower texture but thick enough to play its job of holding strong. Alright Austin - the standard for fried tacos has now been set.

    Ceviche Tostada
    Ashley M.

    This place deserves more recognition! If you're at Cuantos, go two trucks down and at least try one of Ensenada's tacos. I just had the shrimp taco and had to add to be precious review. These are probably the most fresh & crispy shrimp tacos I've ever had, as well as the ceviche tostadas (only served on the weekends). There's something about Ensenada's that you want to savor versus Cuantos that you can scarf down in 2 bites. The woman that runs the truck is also extremely kind, which makes it even better.

    One sunny Ensenada ATX food truck

    A sunny orange food truck on a 72F day, hanging out with a mostly ACL crowd nourishing-up for the last day of the last weekend. But let's talk about these fish tacos, Ensenada, Baja California style. These are lightly battered and fried bits of white fish or shrimp, served with crisp strips of cabbage, pickled red onion and drizzled with a chipotle-infused mayo. Ensenada ATX has nailed the batter/fry combo resulting in light, crunchy and even pillowy morsels of flavor. I am not a fan of tostadas and chalupas because it isn't possible to eat them without making a mess. However, the ceviche tostadas here are delicious enough to justify the hassle. These are served with luscious slices of avocado and a lime segment. You can bring your own beer and couple it with this establishment's Michelada for your own Mexican Bloody Mary. Service was friendly and efficient.

    Amazing fish and shrimp tacos. I love eating outside at a food truck and this fits the bill. Never disappoints and the owner is always so friendly. Also - be sure to get the salsa macha!

    Fish taco up top and shrimp taco on the bottom.  Both really tasty

    Really nice woman taking orders and the tacos were delicious. The Topo Chico limonada was also great.

    The best Baja fish tacos I've found outside of Tacos Fenix in Ensenada, BC or Oscar's in San Diego. This is the real deal.

Everything was seriously delicious, rich, and flavorful. The meat was juicy and tender, and they were very generous with the portions. If all the seats inside are taken inside the restaurant, you can dine in the bar area or outside in the alley. This taco speakeasy spot is so good, we came back the next day with our friends. We will definitely be back in the future!

I ordered 2 steak tacos and horchata, both very delicious. The horchata is milky and sweet but not crazy sweet, and topped off with cinnamon. The steak tacos came out pretty hot, fresh from the grill. I got them on corn tortillas and I'm glad I did: idk if they make them in house but somebody in some house is making these because they definitely aren't store bought, and if they are I want to know where! I tried the orange habanero and creamy serrano salsas. The habanero was spicy off the bat, while the serrano had more of a lingering burn. Both paired well with the steak. They have a little bar, too, though I did not imbibe this time. Seems like they have a decent selection of agave spirits, and even Campari behind the bar (iykyk). Give them a shot, and thank the ladies in the kitchen.
