    Lupita's looks like it's been around for a while, https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-cocina-de-lupita-ensenada-2?select=TkeU-mgXoZy87JSkeGSk7g but it's clean, service was typical Mexican, a bit slow..... would I recommend this spot? YES! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-cocina-de-lupita-ensenada-2?select=IajsGt9g8sma0uZK_QJzOQ https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-cocina-de-lupita-ensenada-2?select=99SHOR1BWQ70cgIYc1Whog Combinacion Lupita ($160) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-cocina-de-lupita-ensenada-2?select=w_78cMkufrkzmKzi4NVurg Chilaquiles Rojo, Machaca, Huevos, Papas y Frijoles.

    Great little restaurant in Ensenada.. it was really clean, and the food and service were great too.

    This is the best kept secret in Ensenada. Exceptional, inexpensive, great service. They accommodated our party of 10 without any issue. Everyone enjoyed their food and we can't wait to visit again.

    They follow the COVID rules and in Mexico they seem to be more serious about COVID. You gotta take your temperature and they disinfect your shoes before coming in .. Food was authentic and delicious .. portions very huge.. no space left on my plate..definitely best place to have breakfast .

    Chilaquiles rojos con pollo (with chicken)
    Jason J.

    Excelente! Waitress was very attentive and understanding to my lack of Spanish. The chilaquiles were crunchy, saucy, and delicious eggs were cooked to exactly how i liked and the salsa on the side was very flavorful as well as spicy Would definitely go again!!

    Decidimos llegar ya que queríamos comida casera y todo estuvo muy rico. Muy rica la comida. Lugar es limpio. El café igual tenia muy buen sabor. Se recomienda el lugar. Seguiremos regresando

    Don't let the front fool you! The inside is huge and the food is great! Off the main drag and worth the extra minute or two to get here.

    Be sure to ask how much everything costs before ordering. The guy standing outside who seats you…read moremay try to overcharge. He tried getting me to order me guacamole and chips, I asked how much, he said $14 USD, I declined yet he still tried to bring it to my table which I declined a second time. Payment is cash only (USD accepted). That said, the tacos were delicious. The meats were marinated so well and were addicting. The tortillas were handmade and had an excellent texture. Prices might not be the cheapest but it's worth it for a great meal.

    While all the cruise ship passengers are getting their drink on at Papas & Beer (we started there)…read moresave your appetite and head a block away to La Comadre for some of the best tacos you'll ever have. 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!!

The long lines meant - it was so good and worth the wait. Honestly, it wasn't too long. My friend and I ordered 1 tostada each. She got the aguachiles and I the Guera. Great portions packed with flavor. I went back for oysters, which they shuck right in front of you. There were so many chile bottles to choose from. They also had some dark "crack" sauce that I chose to put on. I'm no sabo so I no sabo what the salsa was but it was delicious. Spicy, tangy, umami. Muyyyy ricooooo

    During our first cruise stop in Ensenada while walking back from our lunch stop back to the ship,…read morewe noticed the large crowds gathered around El Guero Mariscos. Thus we made a point to stop by for food during our second cruise stop in Ensenada, 4 days later. We discovered the large crowds were not in line waiting, but were instead enjoying their ceviche and other cold seafood while standing up. It made for a festive atmosphere, definitely ramping up the enjoyment of really great tasting seafood. The food stall is located facing the main road of Ensenada (walking distance from the cruise port) and is separated into two parts: the front serving seafood tostadas and the back serving cocktails and aquachiles. Each had different lines, with a common guy accepting payment after delivery. They have been doing this for a while (1981?) and things are efficient. I wanted one thing, which was the mixed cocktail with all the seafood available (campechano, a word I've come to love since moving to the LA area). They have 4 sizes from chico ($105) to jumbo ($360). The seafood mix is diced together ahead of time to save on time, and are mostly diced pretty fine. The mix is prepared fresh though, and was ready in about a minute. It was excellent, refreshing and just the right amount for me. I had wanted to try the seafood cocktail again from La Guerrerense (another nearby famous seafood stand), so that was our first stop during our second visit to Ensenada in 5 days. We then visited other sites in the area, saving El Guero for the end before we headed back to the ship. As expected the cocktail from Guerrerense was very good, but this version from El Guero was even better....better selection of seafood, and more finely mixed to give a better representation of the different textures of the freshness. That would make it the best seafood cocktail I've ever enjoyed.
