Shy of Five Stars ! It was our first time here and thank you Yelp for guiding us directly. I think not enough people appreciate that simple key ingredient, yelps influence for the good of all. We decided Taco Tuesday was the best place to start and we weren't wrong. The Carne Asada tacos were excellent with plenty of delicious meat and fully dressed out in toppings. I tried the Shrimp Taco and the grilled fish Taco and both were primo. The food is made with love, you can quickly tell when you pick up your tray. My wife raved over the carne asada tacos even on the way home. We have found a new place. It's exceptionally clean and well put together. The service staff were very accommodating and kind and were there to please. A good crowd for the early afternoon. Will definitely be back. You cannot go wrong with the establishment. read more

If you're craving for fish tacos and a hearty burrito, this place hits the spot! i like the Combo # 1. You get two fish tacos with your choice of crispy battered or grilled fish, served on corn tortillas and topped with cabbage, fresh pico de gallo, and crema. The combo also comes with rice, beans, and a fountain drink, making it a filling and satisfying meal. The Ensenada Burrito is another favorite. It's a generously sized flour tortilla packed with battered shrimp, carne asada, rice, refried beans, cabbage, fresh pico de gallo, crema, and salsa. I love getting both the seafood and carne asada flavors together. One little extra I really appreciate is their complimentary chili-lime seasoned peppers and onions. They add a nice kick and go perfectly with the fish tacos. Good portions, and a combo that really hits the spot. Definitely a place we enjoy coming back to!. read more

Found this place on Yelp and it was in a strip mall. I ordered a fish taco and shrimp taco. The flavor was good and the right amount of fish ratio. What I really liked about this place was the salsa bar. I loved the chili peppers grilled that you can get. The fresh salsas. The inside was very clean and orderly too. I came in a little after they opened and it took a little time to recognize that I was in line but they quickly came out and took my order. read more

Ensenada Surf N Turf - Fish Taco. It was to go. So probably better in person. - Seafood Near Me - Chino Hills, California

As a regular, which made today's experience more disappointing. I ordered a surf/turf burrito a ceviche tostada and some. When I started eating the burrito, I realized they had given me a regular asada burrito. Iet the staff know, but instead of simply acknowledging the mistake, they asked for my order number and double checked whether I had actually ordered the surf and turf burrito. Being questioned after they made the mistake was BS. Before getting the incorrect burrito, I asked for a few extra cracker packets for my ceviche. The employee was so concerned about charging me an additional dollar for four packets of crackers than making sure my $20 burrito was prepared correctly. I don't mind paying the $1. It was the priority and penny pinching that bothered me, especially after spending around $50 on the meal. They offer an open condiment bar with onions, salsa, and chilies, yet a few crackers became the main concern. The three employees working in front, plus whoever was working in the kitchen, so this did not seem like a situation where one overwhelmed employee simply made an understandable mistake. Mistakes happen, but when they do, the response should be an apology and a quick correction, not questioning a regular customer while focusing on an extra dollar. They need to get their priorities straight. Stop making customers feel like they are trying to get away with something over a few crackers, and start making sure the expensive food they paid for is prepared correctly. read more

Was looking for Sunday dinner and decided to try this place for the first time. I went for the 2 taco combo with one shrimp taco, one fish taco, both breaded. The combo came with rice, beans, and a fountain drink. After I paid i noticed that they have fountain Pepsi, but only canned coke. Not sure if you can ask for canned coke instead of a fountain drink without an additional charge but I personally prefer coke over Pepsi. I decided to get dr. Pepper since I had a fountain drink cup. What I do like is you can get some lemon, onions, and chili peppers from the condiment bar. I like chili peppers and appreciate these are free whereas I have had to pay extra for a bag of 3 elsewhere. There are also an assortment of packaged sauces as well as their prepared sauces such as Chipotle and green/red salsa. The portion sizes here are good. I took the food home to eat and was pretty full by the time I ate one taco. The condiments enhanced the meal. Rice and beans were fine. For $14 total its not a bad deal. I think if I didn't do takeout and ate at the restaurant, my breaded fish would not be soggy. However, the flavor was there. I would return to try their ceviche as that looked pretty fresh! read more

This place is near archibalds next to Starbucks. I ordered 2 fish taco combos. The tacos were good. The rice and beans were decent. I don't have much to say. The customer service was excellent they're very polite here. I need to come back and try the other seafood. I was underwhelmed by their food tbh. The red salsa was good and the Pepsi was bubbly. I'll maybe try their ceviche next if I'm in the mood. read more

I'm just coming through town and found this place through Yelp. Great fish tacos, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend. I'm just coming through town and found this place through Yelp. Great fish tacos, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend. read more

Ensenada Surf N Turf - Seafood Near Me - Chino Hills, California

I had been so excited to try this place. My husband has one by his work and he raves about it. We finally made it tonight and we were incredibly disappointed. My husband said the one near his work is much better. We ordered tacos with the sauce on the side, I have dietary restrictions so I always want to scope out sauces before I put them on. The tacos came smothered in sauce. When I called to let them know, she blamed me saying I ordered wrong and I should have specified each individual sauce. She assumed I only didn't want the salsa. They offered for us to come back and they would make new ones. It was late and going back defeated the purpose of getting take out to save time on cooking so I requested a partial refund but was told they don't do that. They offered for us to come back but none of us enjoyed our food enough to return. I guess now we know. read more

Stopped by here for a quick bite after a hike. I got two battered fish tacos and the shrimp ceviche. The fish tacos were freshly fried and it was a decent sized piece of fish for $5 a tacos. I do think the price is steep for what you get. The shrimp ceviche was not good. The fish was over marinated, and it was a really tough, chewy texture. I do appreciate the service and the cleanliness of the restaurant. There's also a large parking lot so it's pretty easy to find parking. read more

Ensenada Surf N Turf - Fish Tacos and a Drink - Seafood Near Me - Chino Hills, California

This spot is tucked right off the freeway in an unassuming plaza, so it's easy to miss but worth finding. I didn't realize they had so many SoCal locations, and this one has become my go-to for fish and potato tacos. They charge extra for flour tortillas, but trust me, fish tacos hit different on flour. My usual order: the Baja fish taco with all the fixings, a potato taco, and an Orange Bang to wash it down. They also have weekday taco specials! My husband got the surf and turf burrito it had to be at least 2 lbs and we both loved the Tostada de Ceviche Mixto. Service is quick and casual (order and pay before eating), with plenty of seating and a clean setup. Pro tip: ask for chipotle mayo on the side - it's a game changer. read more

I was in town for a soccer tournament and decided to give this place a try. I'm very picky when it comes to seafood so I went with the ceviche tostada and Baja Taco (both shrimp and fish). The portion size was huge, it definitely filled me up. The flavoring of the food was great and the ceviche was spicy. Due to the location of the restaurant it's definitely difficult to locate parking. It's located in a shopping center and when I got there I struggled with finding parking. read more

Ensenada Surf n Turf is a bit of a hidden gem -- literally. It's tucked just off the 71 freeway, behind some of the more popular shopping centers, so much so that when we pulled up, we genuinely wondered if it was open. Just 1 day ago a review was left saying they got sick...but we went anyway. That worry didn't last long. The place was very clean, the staff was friendly, and since it was our first time, they walked us through the menu and helped us pick. As soon as we walked in, we felt that cool beach/surf, ocean-inspired theme throughout the restaurant. We ordered the battered shrimp tacos, which were excellent, and tried the stingray tacos too -- not something you get to eat just anywhere, and they didn't disappoint. There were multiple house-made salsas and sauces to go with everything. We also got a burrito, which ran close to $20 -- on the pricier side, but it lasted me two full days, so you can judge the value for yourself. It's a seafood spot, so the higher prices make sense once you're there. Overall, this is one of those places you really have to experience in person. Highly recommend giving it a shot, even if it means a slightly bumpier drive to find it. read more

More than GREAT! This place never disappoints. I wish I lived closer so I could come more often! Every visit reinforces why it's my go-to spot. The food is consistently fresh the kind that makes you savor each bite and notice the bright flavors in every dish. The service is terrific very friendly and genuinely on top of things. They never get it wrong with our special requests, which makes the dining experience easy. They also have weekday specials that are a welcome treat great value without compromising on quality. Fresh chips and salsa begin the meal on a high note, and they never disappoint. My favorite thing to order is the shrimp tacos. They arrive with juicy shrimp, flavorful toppings, and a balanced sauce that makes each bite pair perfectly with the tortillas. It's the dish I judge a place by, and this one passes with flying colors every time. read more

I recently met my best friend here for lunch. I ordered a Grilled Fish Taco and a Hardshell Potato Taco. She ordered the #3 Combo, which included one shrimp taco, one fish taco, rice, beans, and a soda. I asked the cashier if I could substitute a potato taco for a fish taco so I could get the #1 Combo, but she said they don't allow substitutions. Our orders came out surprisingly fast, and both of my tacos were delicious! My best friend raved about her shrimp taco. I tasted her beans, and they were really good. We definitely plan to meet here again. I highly recommend stopping in if you are in the area! read more

It was my first time at this restaurant since my friend had recommended this place for us to meet up for lunch. I have to say that I really enjoyed my fish and shrimp tacos. You order at the register and you are pretty much on your own after that! I enjoyed their drink options too. Everybody was very friendly and the place was clean! I can't wait to try other options off of their menu.. read more

I was in the neighborhood for a conference and wanted to dinner to bring home. I ordered to go a shrimp bowl and grilled fish burrito. The damage on that was $40. For that price I wanted better grilled shrimp in my bowl. The shrimp didn't have good grill marks or all that flavorful, although there was a good amount of it. So for almost $20 I was a little taken aback. The fish burrito was slightly better as it was a huge burrito, however it was still considered okay and on the pricier side. I did like that they had grilled peppers in the salsa bar was was tasty. Other than that, I wont be returning if I'm ever in the area. read more

I came here today for the first time with my mom, we ordered battered fish tacos I came in very pregnant and hungry and my cravings were very satisfied. Everything was sooo delicious and the tacos were a pretty big size. The young lady taking my order was very sweet as well, service was fast and the restaurant was clean. I will definitely be back! read more

Excellent food, excellent service and a great atmosphere and dining experience. I had the ceviche mixto and it was .com. Super fresh and tasty. They have a great salsa bar including roasted and seasoned white chilis. My gorgeous Lady had the shrimp tacos and they were to die for. This place is really nice but it is tucked away in the corner of a business center. But well worth searching for. If you go, get me a plate and I'll see you there. The end. read more

Went here for dinner last night. Wife wanted fish tacos and I wanted shrimp cocktails and ceviche. She suggested her favorite fish to place which is Ensenada Surf and Turf. She ordered two fish tacos fried, I ended up ordering one fish taco, one shrimp tacos (both fried) and one mango shrimp ceviche tostadas. The fish and shrimp tacos are hands down very tasty and delicious. One of the best in town. The mango shrimp ceviche was also excellent. My only thing is that the bottom tostada got soggy from the juice. No worries we still ate all of it. Next time I order it I will ask for more tostadas. The staff are really friendly and very helpful. If you can't decide, what they suggest are usually great. We will keep coming back. On one note, I wish they update their drinks and add more read more

I liked it. Was craving a fish burrito and came in for lunch. Inside is clean and pretty spacious with a decent amount of seating. I got the Baja's Burrito and it was good! Fish and shrimp inside. The burrito is pretty big too. You'll definitely catch the itis after eating the whole thing like I did lol. Their red salsa has a good flavor but I wouldn't have minded more heat for my own taste. Overall a good spot. Would definitely come back. Service was good. Friendly staff. Easy parking in the business center lot. read more

Really good breaded fish tacos! The breaded fish were huge and the toppings were loaded to the top! Well battered, fish is crispy but tender on the inside. Incredibly delicious!

Such fantastic fish tacos. I used to be a big fan of Rubio's when they had plenty nearby me. But now that they closed the two closest to me it's slowly dropped off as being a regular place to go. Yet I never forgot how much a good fish taco hits the spot. Ensenada has those good fish tacos that are impossible not to crave more often than not. The fish is fresh, flaky, and firm where i t needs to be instead of a mushy mess. Both tacos I had were simply amazing and I was this close to order one more. The service was great. Everyone was so courteous and answered all my questions as a first-timer. And the space is fantastic, so much room and you don't feel on top of each other. I even had time to put a good dent into the book I brought along. My only gripes were the rice wasn't the best, containing some sub-par veggie elements in the corn and peas. This is especially striking because I liked the refried beans. I'm tempted to just ask for all beans next time. And the cookie I added as a treat was just kind of foul, more demonically hard and full of trail mix additives like dates, pecans, anddried coconut than more tasty elements like chocolate, caramel, or peanut butter. The cookie ruined my meal completely. Gladly, I know for next time to stay away from those evil baked items and just fill up on the goodness and joy that are the fish tacos. And I will be back for them, I swear it. read more

Ensenada Surf N Turf offers efficient service and a casual vibe. I tried the grilled fish taco ($5.12 including tax)--it came with about 2 oz of fish. It wasn't the best value at full price, but they offer great weekday deals: $3 fried fish tacos on Wednesdays and select taco specials on Tuesdays. The fish and chips were a solid choice--the fish was crunchy, and the fries were crispy and satisfying. Note: No tap-to-pay--you'll need to use a physical card or cash read more

This is a cute Baja joint. Very low key and very good. In town for the weekend for Union softball game. Close to the field and convenient. The staff is friendly and the food is on point. Got the mango ceviche and an à la cart mahi mahi. My husband got the carnesada tacos. The ceviche serving is huge so be sure you're supper hungry or have at least three to four other people. Definitely very lovely for an afternoon bite. read more

Came here for the first time last night after living down the street for 3 years. We came in for a late to go dinner. My immediate reaction was shocking. Lol I didn't realize how big it actually was. I ordered a combo with a fountain drink, rice, beans and 1 fish and 1 shrimp taco and a large shrimp cocktail. 1 extra fish taco also. We waited about 10minutes. Asked for extra salsa at the counter. Got home and was delighted to see how tasty the cocktail was. The portion does seem small for $21 but it is packed with shrimp. Happy to say the fish and shrimp inside the batter was seasoned well. The rice is buttery with peas and carrots and the beans are house made which is always a plus! The 4 stars is for the prices of everything. The prices are up there. Another location we also love is Señor Baja in Chino. This location has specials during the week so we definitely will be back. Shares lot with Starbucks and Dennys amongst other businesses so it's pretty full sometimes read more

We ordered lunch from here and our experience was pretty good. The business doesn't have online ordering for the Chino Hills location, so I called to order for pickup. The food was ready within 15 minutes and was hot and fresh when we picked it up. Servings were very big, especially the carne asada burrito, but also the fish tacos. Flavor was good and the fried fish had a nice flakiness to it. The meat on the carne asada taco was all well seasoned. I'd definitely recommend, but they should set up online ordering to make it more convenient for pickup read more

When there are high expectations, disappointment can hit even harder. I feel comfortable writing this review because I've been here more than 20 times over the years and have recommended this place to many friends. Sadly, I now hesitate when people ask me about it because the inconsistency has become too frequent. At its best, the fish taco is excellent: crispy on the outside, tender inside, flavorful, and satisfying. But more and more often lately, the fish isn't coming out crispy, and without that texture, it honestly becomes just a mediocre fish taco that doesn't feel worth the $4.99 price tag ($2.99 on Taco Wednesday). The portions are still generous and the flavor is still there, but if the frying consistency cannot be maintained, longtime customers like me may slowly stop coming back. I was honestly surprised there was virtually no line today between 11:30 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. on 5/13/26. I don't know if the owner will ever see this review, but I genuinely hope the restaurant can tighten up the process and return to the quality that made people love these fish tacos in the first place. I'd truly love to be able to come back, enjoy the tacos the way I remember them, and confidently recommend this place to friends again. read more

it's in a random unassuming little business strip mall but i come here all the time because they offer grilled fish tacos, which are delicious for a fair price. love their ceviche, im basic, i love the fish and shrimp ceviche. also fairly priced. make sure to load up on their onion and pepper bar! it's nice to have a local spot that's just for fish tacos and ceviche. read more

I think I need to go a few more times but the time I went the food was on the better side but not the best tasting Mexican food I've had. The ambience is just ok and so was the service. I couldn't really customize my order at all, as I am gluten free, dairy free and soy free, I wanted to be able to at least change the option of my tortillas to corn but it didn't seem possible to them. read more
