Burritos large and in charge. Huge portion, generous amount of protein inside (surf and turf). Like 2 Chipotle burritos. Great tasting steak and fresh bouncy shrimp. Fried shrimp and fish tacos delicious as well. Tortilla is little soft could be firmer, fell apart while eating. Side of Mexican rice kind of soggy, could be more cooked to remove moisture.
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.
This is a very hard 4.5! The portions were great, great value meal, and the food was fresh! It was just missing something and I can't put my finger on it, nonetheless it was very satisfying! I'd be back to try the shrimp ceviche and fish tacos.
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
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.
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.
This is my go to for an affordable sea food meal. The portions are big and everything is tasty. If you get any ceviche be prepaid because it's basically 2 -3 tostadas in one plate, you can definitely share it if you're not hungry. I also didn't take a picture of it but if you're not craving fish, I highly recommend their potato hard tacos simple but delicious!
Visited this weekend with my family. The overall experience was okay but we had a party of 4 and no one was super impressed. Everything was just okay (not bad by any means) the cost was high though. I wish the prices were more in line with the flavor and quality. They have lots of bottled salsa but none that are fresh. Also there was only lemon and no lime...
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.
got the shrimp ceviche and tacos and it was soo delicious! very filling and flavorful. the portions are pretty big and 1-2 portions are already filling. service was quick. the place is spacious with indoor and outdoor seating. parking is a bit limited. overall, would love to come back again.
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.
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.

I have not tried this place three times. First two times I called in the order and someone else picked up for me. This last time was my first time eating at the restaurant. Food has always been good. Tried the fish taco combo with rice and beans. I have also tried the shrimp ceviche and the fish ceviche. I would recommend it all. When you order the ceviche you get a good amount of ceviche and they give you two tostadas. If you are not very hungry a ceviche tostada is probably the right amount to order and under $10. If you are hungry, try one of the combos. This last time I tried it was this last Sunday at around 5pm. The place was packed inside and there were also a few people sitting outside. It was not very loud inside which was nice. Place was clean inside and out. Customer service has always been ok. From placing orders the phone to in person service. 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

this place serves the biggest tacos i have ever seen in my life. we got the fried fish and fried shrimp tacos and they were pretty good! seasoning was fine but the batter could have been a little crispier in comparison to other places :') but these were seriously the biggest tacos ever so i would totally recommend this place especially during their happy hour! 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
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

Ordered the Surf and Turf Burritto, It must have weighed 3lbs. I would order it again, however would go light rice as it kind of overpowers and the taste did not hit. Overall still a good burrito, asada good flavor and crema was a nice touch. Tortilla was also ON POINT. 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

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

Love coming here! The ceviche and the grilled shrimp tacos are absolute perfection and my go-to order every time. Fresh, flavorful, and fast. Highly recommend! 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
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

Ask the Community - Ensenada's Surf N Turf Grill
Do they offer catering?
I'm trying to call and place an order, can you have a number that works or an online platform to make ordering takeout easy?
You can literally order online in Yelp.
Is outdoor seating available yet?
there was when we went about a week ago. Maybe 6 tables
Do you have a unit number?
No, very easy to find, right next to the gas station in a stand alone building
Does anyone know the botanical name of the complimentary chilli pepper?
Do you guy's use lard or msg in any of the food that is served?
No lard or msg is used in any of our items. We only use soy bean oil
Is your dinning room open?
Not at the moment. Its still TBD by the owners. It will post up on Instagram when it will be opening.
Has their hours changed due to covid? Like many, I call and get no answers. Their food maybe decent, but the customer service?
Hello, yes some of our locations have if you let me know for which location I can help you out.
How can i order for pick up with the Wednesday deals? tried calling and it keeps sending me to a voicemail
The best way is you can call 714 983 7785 at 10am and place the order and let us know the time you will be picking up. We get really busy on Wednesdays and our phones die around the end of the night. We apologize for any inconvenience.…
Is the salsa put on the taco automatically or can you ask for no salsa? Can you ask for cut up tomatoes alone (no onion)?
Yes we put salsa on all of our tacos unless you ask us not to. And we can also custom make it. So we can take out onions and add cilantro and tomatoes or just tomato. Just let us know before you pay for your order.
Why did they change the name from Baja California fish tacos?
Probably because a BAJA FISH TACO chain just opened in Brea.
Calories in first taco?
How much calories are there in a fish taco with soft corn tortilla?
Do you sell the fish ceviche for a large order? If so, how much is it?
Yes, they do catering, surprised no one answered earlier, call a couple days ahead
