Was told that the fish tacos are good here so had to check it out. Wrong! These fish tacos are not good... they are AMAZING. I ate two and was very sad when I finished because there were no more. Add friendly helpful stuff and you've got the perfect place. Sadly, they are hidden in a strip center invisible from the street. Well worth the effort to track this place down read more

Overall impression is to skip the meat tacos and stick with the seafood. I got the: Battered shrimp taco - crunchy and flavorful. The toppings complimented the fried shrimp beautifully as it added freshness with every bite. Al pastor - oily and I've had better elsewhere. Chicken - they use the same toppings for every taco and it just didn't work with the chicken. It was too acidic and overwhelmed the chicken flavor to the point I couldn't taste the chicken. I can see why the place is popular because for their meat tacos, they don't skimp on meat at all. The tortillas felt a little too oily for me, but that's personal preference. I'd come back for the battered shrimp tacos. Tables were kinda gross, but it's a counter ordering system so not unexpected. It's also super busy on week nights probably due to the deals they offer. read more

TLDR - Food is okay, service is good, parking is terrible, ambiance is good. Came during a semi-busy lunch rush and we got our food relatively fast. Tbh there's not much to complain about the food except for one thing. The fish is crispy, vegetables are fresh. However, there isn't much crema on the tacos as I would have liked and it leads to the taco feeling just a little too greasy. Overall I'd recommend you give it a try but beware that parking is pretty hard to find read more

I come here whenever I'm in the mood for a good fish taco. The standard one comes with fried fish, cabbage, pico de gallo, and drizzled with white sauce. I enjoy the shrimp ceviche has well. The portions are good and the service as good well. Make sure to stop by the condiment display to pack some chili peppers and pickled veggies to go with your meal. read more

3/28/26. Hey, dad was hankering for this place & bugged my brother to take him. (Tacos San Pedro was their usual spot). Hubby & I went along for the ride. Dad treated!!! SCORE! This is a very rare occasion so I made sure I savored this. He also got me breakfast earlier. I'm saying that this is an absolute miracle. This restaurant has both indoor & outdoor seating. You order at the counter, pay & your number is called out for you to pick up your food. It's fairly clean, we stayed a bit outdoors & didn't see anyone wipe tables after each customer, so there's that. Staff is cordial, not the friendliest bunch but just not rude. Will this be the reason that I will NOT continue to patronize this place? Yes. That's a deal breaker, especially if the food is not exceedingly phenomenal. Dedicated free parking, steady influx of customers rolling in & out. Our order's turnaround time is pretty fast because the ceviche is already made & all they have to do is scoop some into a plate. Done. There's pickled onions, grilled yellow & jalapeño peppers, sliced lemons for customers to do self-serve at the front counter near the cashier. Soda fountain (Pepsi products ) also self-serve. The nephews got quesadillas, dad got a huge shrimp burrito, mom got fish tacos, the rest of us got ceviches & tostadas. Truthfully, the ceviche was good but a bit on the bland side, added lemon & some of the (in bottles) hot sauces to give it more flavor. Gotta admit, the portions are pretty big. As pictured, my mixto ceviche tostada was $15.99, it could've easily fed two people (we all ate some). This needed more zing. Overall, fair experience. Seating is first come first served. Had to secure seating when Hubby & I got there first. read more

The ceviche was definitely the fan favorite. Portions are decent so our tummies were full and happy. They provide an array of hot sauces to enjoy with your meal as well. Service was okay, they were quite busy in the evening so seating may be limited. It's a small area so parking was very limited. read more

SCAMMED! I ordered 5 GRILLED shrimp tacos. In the photo you can see that the batter makes up half the tray, 1 taco has 2 tiny shrimp in it after I removed all the breading. Totally not worth it for close to 40$. read more

Ensenada's Surf N Turf Grill - Scammed on shrimp tacos - Tacos Near Me - Fullerton, California

Once again, I forgot to take some pictures, however let me just say, this place is worthy of the five stars given! Food came out fast and is pretty crowded. Parking lot can be tricky, but seems to move decently. There is outside seating, five tables on a small patio, enough for 20-25 people I'm guessing. Inside, there are several more places to sit. Service is good, friendly. I ordered potato and carne asada tacos, both were fantastic and hard to say which one was better. It solely depends on what you prefer I suppose. There's enough lettuce and tomatoes and sour cream on top and the salsa is really good, mildly hot for the green. They have a lot of good reviews here and I can see why. read more

This taco spot is a decent, casual option for both seafood and red meat tacos. The service is fine and parking is convenient, which makes it an easy stop. Fish taco combo - 3/5, the combo has two fish tacos plus rice and beans. The fish protein is large and has cabbage and tomato toppings. The refried beans and rice were fine, tasted more on the healthy side. Potato taco - 3/5, lots of potato filling! The potato could have been seasoned for better flavor. The crunchy shell is good and I like that they put lots of lettuce, tomato, crema, and cheese on top. read more

Fish Taco Wednesday has its highs and lows. The fried fish is beautifully crispy and golden, airy, and satisfying with every bite. But the corn tortilla falls flat, lacking the structure to carry it. The variety of hot sauces adds some excitement, though it leaves you wishing for a fresh, house made salsa to bring everything to life. read more

This has been a favorite place for quite sometime now and first time actually trying their fish tacos. Big size tacos with a side of rice and beans, so good! You can get in a combo with a drink. Prices here are very reasonable. They also have good fish n chips here as well, big portion size! Right off the 71 freeway but definitely a hidden gem! Great service and food comes out quick! read more

Grilled Fish Taco 9/10 A great taco. You get a huge piece of fish. Lots of toppings too. I ordered with no crema. It was hearty and good. Grilled Shrimp Taco 10/10 This was my favorite! The batter and fried shrimp was delicious! It came with tomatoes, onion, cilantro and cabbage. I ordered no crema. It was so good! I would order that again. Potato hard shell taco 10/10 Loved the potato taco! It was a good size. Great value. It came with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and potato. It was really tasty. I would order this again. It was probably my favorite. Ensenada Burrito 10/10 My husband got the Ensenada burrito. He loved it! And it was HUGE! The burrito was the size of his forearm. No joke lol He said it was the best burrito he has ever had. And he loves his burritos. He got asada and shrimp inside his. Service was good. They made out food pretty quick. The food was all fresh. Ambiance was busy inside. It was kind of warm inside the shop. The seats are not comfortable. The chairs are metal chairs, and it killed my tailbone. If you can grab them to-go, I would. I just don't know how they would travel. read more

Didn't realize when I was looking at the map that this place is the same business as the one in Redondo/ Lawndale where I used to live. Great menu, great prices, great food. My husband and I shared the tostada de ceviche Minto, a HUGE portion of delicious ceviche that was light and filling. I was so excited that we were here that I should have stopped ordering...but my husband also ordered the mahi burrito. That was also huge, loaded with fish and very fresh. We also ordered a grilled mahi taco, which was yummy. Many leftovers went to our friend who dined with us as we were going to the Angels game that night. Bottom line: you can't go wrong with anything you order. Consistent quality --and quantity-- at least at the two I've gone to. read more

Trusted the Yelp reviews and they did not disappoint, these tacos were legit! Huge thanks to the Yelp community for leading me to some seriously good eats. I ordered the fish taco plate, which comes with two tacos (your choice of fried or grilled), rice, beans, and a drink. I went with the fried fish, perfectly crispy, super flavorful, and just the right portion. I left satisfied but not overly full. The toppings added a great balance of freshness and texture. It was busy on a Friday afternoon, and there weren't any open tables when we arrived, but we lucked out and grabbed one just as someone was leaving. There's no outdoor seating. Definitely a spot I'd return to. Solid food, good value, and worth the visit if you're craving tacos. read more

Came here again for their fish tacos, which are excellent! Tuesdays is the day to get them for the special, but we came in on Monday because I was craving them. Another person in our party got the Baja's Burrito, and it was huge! Healthy portion of shrimp & fish and everything else. If you can finish the whole thing on your own, I applauded you! Just adding to my previous review. This place is great. read more

Avoid Ensandas Tacos unless you enjoy being blamed for their mistakes and leaving with a bad taste in your mouth (and not just from the food). They called our number, handed us a bag, and we left--pretty basic transaction, right? Nope. We get home and it's completely the wrong order. So my wife goes back to fix THEIR mistake, and instead of apologizing or just correcting it, they argue with her and actually try to say it's somehow our fault. Let that sink in: they mess up, and then gaslight the customer for it. And honestly, after the way they handled it, we didn't even feel comfortable eating anything they gave back. The attitude alone made it feel like they were more interested in being right than being professional--which is not exactly reassuring when you're trusting someone with your food. Zero accountability. Disrespectful staff. And a situation that went from a simple fix to something that felt sketchy real quick. Do yourself a favor: go literally anywhere else. read more

Food was good! Went for lunch with a coworker and we didn't have to wait too long for our food. I got two fish tacos and my colleague got a surf and turf burrito. The fish was just fried and was crispy and delicious. The service was great and it's a clean and nice spot to grab a fast casual lunch. read more

It was ok, nothing special.. The service was good, they were very accommodating and helpful with our ordering. The inside is large and spacious. Everything fried was super oily. Very sub-par food. Not worth trying. read more

Was recommended to try the Baja tacos which was a mix of fish and shrimp and can pick either fried or grilled. I got one of each and both were really good with fresh seafood, oh the tacos were pretty big! If you want to be on the healthier side then def do grilled. Also got the mango shrimp ceviche which was mediocre can skip. Would be back for their weekday taco specials. Not sure what happened to my order but I did have to wait a bit longer, hopefully not the case next time. read more

Bomb diggity Ensenada fish tacos! You really can't beat their Wednesday fish taco deal for about $3/taco. Their fish tacos are super loaded, so honestly, I could just eat one and be content, but I usually like pushing a little past my limit and going for two. It does get crowded as it neighbors CSUF and major traffic flow. I would recommend coming in early or calling in your order as they do get quite busy. read more

Ensenada's Surf N Turf Grill - Fish tacos!!!!!! - Tacos Near Me - Fullerton, California

Went on a Wednesday for their $3 per fish taco deal, which is very worth it. The parking will get filled up if they're super busy. There's seating mainly inside with a small outdoor patio area. There was a good amount of people when I went, the seating inside was all filled with a liveliness that's not too rowdy or loud to eat and have a conversation. Service was nice and quick, got our food within 10 minutes! Got the fried fish tacos and shrimp ceviche tostada. The fish tacos are hefty and crispy. I think the batter and fish is slightly underseasoned, but with the fresh toppings and sauce, it definitely helps the flavor. I got three but was already full by the second taco, so they are filling. We also got the shrimp ceviche tostada. Very limey and very decent in portion! The tomatoes, onions, and cilantro were a good balance with the shrimp and added a freshness that helped cut the acidity. Overall, their deal is so worth it for fish tacos! They seemed to be known for their seafood options, so I'd probably stick to coming here for the seafood dishes. I'd consider this a great spot for fish tacos if you're in the mood for some! read more

I am genuinely confused about the hype of this place. I went around 4:30pm on taco Tuesday and while there wasn't a line, there were plenty of people here which I think speaks to the popularity of this restaurant. I think the prices are fair and their portions are big, you can get full with two tacos, definitely 3. And I like how they give you a whole slew of different hot sauces at each table. Great touch. And service was quick. We only had their tacos rice and beans and we weren't fans. Everything tasted very cafeteria style. I thought the rice would be that typical orange rice but it wasn't. The beans had that coagulated look and taste like it was taken straight out of a can. The tacos just tasted bland and too much raw cabbage overpowering everything else which I guess is good if you really like raw cabbage. The corn tortilla was a bit stale- and not warm. My kids and I love exploring different taco Tuesday restaurants in this area- this was the worst one so far. We will not be returning. read more

This place is a must try if you're into surf n turf. Nice simple layout and very enthusiastic employees. The prices are a bit up there but the portions are insane! My burrito easily weighed over 2 pounds and could probably feed 3 people. Not only are the portions big the flavor is just as impactful. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area to explore the menu more. read more

This is my family's favorite mexican takeout! Our go-to's are the Grilled Fish Burrito, Salmon Burrito, and CriSpy Fish Tacos. The burritos come with creamy beans, cheese, pico de gallo, and rice. The tacos come with crema and slaw. Be sure to get all their salsas, crema, onions, and jalapenos as your side. They are all so flavorful and complement their food so well! read more

I don't write reviews often but the service here is horrible zero stars if I could. The ladies working were giving me attitude when I went to pick up my food and when I went to ask for to go boxes for my ceviche. We also took 3 chiles to go from a SELF SERVE BAR and one of the mean lady working came over to our table and said if we take anymore chiles we will be charged for it ... it's a self serve bar it stated no limit? I felt targeted is it because we are Asian??? read more

The pictures and reviews on Yelp looked great so I wanted to give it a try. Personally, not my favorite pescador spot. I felt like it was Americanized and a pretty penny. Maybe I'm used to fish tacos being around 3.50- 3.75 each, whereas here they were $4.50. The tortillas broke apart despite it being doubled. The tostada of Jaiba had no lemon. So I had to add it in myself. My mom ordered their tacos of asada and pastor and she didn't like either of them. Pictures are deceiving so it really comes down to personal preference. Overall, I'd rate it a 2.5/5 for me personally. read more

Was craving a good tostada! I used to come here when I was going to CSUF so I immediately thought of this place. The service is pretty fast, self serving areas also near register. They do not take Apple Pay! Bring a physical card or cash. They hook it up with the serving size. The prices are fair for the amount you get. About $27 for two tostadas and 2 Baja tacos that are huge! My shrimp and mango one was about $2 more than the other tostadas. They have a few tables inside and outside, pretty busy when we got there on a Friday night at 8 pm read more

This is my favorite place for fish tacos! The fish always tastes so fresh and perfectly seasoned. It is crispy on the outside but juicy and soft inside. They have many different sauces that go very well with the tacos. They also offer grilled seasoned peppers that are super delicious. I tried their mixed seafood soup, and that was amazing too. It was packed with seafood and had a sour and spicy flavor. The place is set up like your typical fast food setting. You order at the counter and grab your own table. They are very fast and efficient with everything so the wait is never too long even though it's packed every time I stopped by. Overall, solid place for yummy fish tacos. read more

The fish taco is the best and it's on sale every Wednesday. The place is small and busy but clean and well run.

Tried Ensenada's Surf n Turf Grill for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by how great their fish tacos are. I ordered three thinking they'd be small and turns out they're huge and packed with flavor. I could only finish two and was completely full. The tacos were fresh, crispy, and delicious. Service was fast, and the restaurant itself was clean and inviting. If you're looking for a solid taco spot, this one delivers. Definitely recommend going on a Wednesday when fish tacos are just $3. Totally worth it. Great food, quick service, and clean atmosphere. Loses one star only because I wish I had room for more! read more

Love love love this place. I work near by so I'm there frequently. Ceviche and fish tacos are wonderful. Breaded and grill fish tacos.

This place is probably one of the best ceviche places in town very generous servings with reasonable prices. I strongly recommend a come. It gets busy not a lot of parking but it's worth it. Come with an appetite and they serve beer too and they have a patio.. bring a small outdoor speaker and you're set !! read more

I really liked: Ensenada Burrito I liked: Shrimp Quesadilla This burrito is huge and pretty #goodeats. Quesadilla needs something. It's a little too plain and the hot sauces they provided didn't complement it well enough. Service was fairly fast and they even provided me foil wrap when I couldn't finish the monster burrito I had. For a Baja restaurant this is pretty standard. Plenty of tables and colorful walls. read more
