The food was great. We got the Cortes finos which was enough for 4 adults. The beans were delicious. The kids loved the corn soup. And the handmade corn and flour tortillas were awesome. Also try the tripitas. Won't disappoint, definitely coming back every time I come to Ensenada. read more

Great service and good food! The food was delicious and so were the drinks. We got the sales (hot), guacamole, empanada (actually a good size for a single), and the gripe/intestine w corn and flour tortillas. The gripe was good and the waiters even came around again to ask if we wanted it crispier. :) read more

Great Mexican cuisine. We loved the place warm atmosphere. They make the salsa right at the table. So much fun. We ordered queso fundido, and a caldo de tortilla. The meal was delicious. The owner makes the house wine . It is excellent, and I'm a winemaker. I know what a full-bodied red should taste like. The only draw back was the music. If it is too loud we go someplace else. read more

Great food- mostly. We arrived at 7pm, and they close at 9pm, so they were out of some drinks and entres. No biggie. We ordered some parrilladas and steaks. They were so delicious. The meats were all great quality and tasty. The tortilla chips were blah, but the homemade salsa made up for it. The guy makes the salad in front of you in a molcajete. So fresh and so delicious. Oh yeah, you can skip the Argentinean empanadas. They were bad- burnt on one side, and cold. The service was good, not great, but good. And the decor is really cute- rustic homey like. read more

So I was In the middle of trying to get to another restaurant but there was some road closures so as I was driving by this one decided to stop and ask if my dog would be welcomed . They informed me that outside he would be. So stopped and they were kind enough to bring my dog water . They actually homemake your salsa and ask you what lever of hot you would like it . It's amazing . Food was soooooo good. I hope this place tops your list when you visit Ensenada . Great amazing service and the food does not let you down either . Please come and visit the middle of nowhere , home in the wall great restaurant !!! read more

Wow wow! We found La Hoguera browsing on yelp and I'm happy about that! First of all the place is beautiful! The salsa is freshly made in front of you and that's the best salsa I've ever had. It was not spicy (per request) but super tasty. We first shared the queso fundido - the portion was huge! Then my bf got a very flavorful steak while I got myself the marinated tuna - which was grilled too, and wonderful. So if you are craving steak while in Ensenada, or want good Mexican food in a nice seating, go to La Hoguera! read more

Do your self a favor and eat here. Even if you just get drinks and chips and salsa, go no! The salsa is thee best in Ensenada. The best! Salsa en molcajete is made at the k table side. Your can customize it, we just asked them to make it spicy. Perfecto. They Chula en nogada was heavier than they one I've had before. I've only had it once before in puerto Vallarta so I don't know what is traditional or not. Mind you Ialso ordered bone marrow and arrechera de res to split with my husband. So the table was pretty heavy. I freaking love this place. Everything is so cute. The out door bar, the papelnpicado, the decor, they food! Everything is amazing. read more

Found this great restaurant in our Baja guide book. The meats are cooked over wood fires. They make salsa, either mild or hot at your table. We had chips and salsa, queso and then the family mixed grill for 4 and my teenagers were full by the main course. We had plenty of tortillas and leftovers for breakfast. Takes some cards. An excellent meal. read more

This is a wonderful, tasty restaurant specializing in grilled meat. We came during our vacation when we read that they prepare salsa table side. They do and it is wonderful! We got a family style meal that included several types of meat and it was accompanied by fresh, hot tortillas (both corn and flour). We also had the queso fundido which was absolutely delicious. The courtyard is charming and we'd definitely come back. Service was great. Everyone was kind and friendly. They have English language menus available. read more

"Love, love love this place! It's a beautiful little oasis with a relaxed vibe (you would not even know you are in the city). The tableside-made fresh roasted vegetable salsa was OUTSTANDING. This is a wood-fired meat place and they do it exceptionally well, but the side dishes were also memorable! Fresh grilled vegetables were off the charts good, and the mashed potatoes are not to be missed. Plus hand made tortillas, and friendly service. There is nothing not to like. We will be back. Often!" read more

I want to give this place 5 stars because everything from the salsa to the steak were so delicious but they cooked the meats well done when we asked for medium rare.

Came here with my family as a party of 10 as we wanted something other than fish tacos while in Ensenada. Entered the restaurant and headed towards the back where we were sat at a huge table with fans blowing helping us cool off. We ordered guacamole and 2 orders of queso fundido. We agreed on getting 2 parilladas with a variety of chicken, steak, chorizo and tripas. The queso fundido arrived with a stack of flour and corn tortillas and this was probably my favorite item I had. The cheese was mixed with mushrooms and chorizo and it was just so flavorful and savory. The parilladas arrived and everything was cooked perfectly. Service was great, food was excellent and very affordable. read more

Great place food was great the best salsa made at your table . Service was great upon arriving will definitely come back .

Worst experience ever in Baja! My family and I came to have dinner and then took the kids to buy toys around the block. The restaurant immediately called the police that we left our car and to tow it. They acted as if they didn't know it belong to us. Total scam. The owner of the restaurant drove by twice while we ate and just walks in and out (very strange). When we arrived back to our car the police officer was waiting for us. We ran back to speak with the restaurant manager and they said it's out of their control now. They didn't vouch and said we were gone for too long!!! Really a family with 6 kids! They said we left too long and didn't know. So if you're ready to be apart of the SCAM they call a tow truck driver, police officer drives you around the block and takes your $20. This is not a way to keep loyal customers... bad bad bad service! stay away! read more
