We stopped here during our cruise day in Ensenada after locals recommended it, and it did not disappoint. The seafood was super fresh and flavorful, portions were generous, and the prices were much better than what you'd expect in a tourist area. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcome even though we were just visiting for the day. Definitely worth checking out if you want authentic local seafood instead of the usual tourist spots.
If you get a chance to come eat here... you need to! The service Eden provided was absolutely steller. We started with Marlin Totito appetizers that I am a fan of. I was craving octopus so my friend and I ordered Pulpo Mahi Mahi. It came with fresh corn tortillas, I think the best tortillas I've ever had. My husband ordered a shrimp and Crab salad that was huge. Our friend ordered the fish soup that had black sea bass. Everyone allowed me to taste their food and it was all delicious. I am hoping to come back here before leaving Ensenada. Thank you for great service Eden
When we first arrived, I wasn't sure what to expect. I looked online for any food recommendations but there wasn't really much information so we sort of had to choose and hope for the best. And it waa probably the best decision! The food did take a while to come out but we were a party of 6 so I assume that's why. There were several waiters attending us so that was great. Anytime we needed something, they were fast to act. I definitely recommend the pulpo aguachile. Its cooked octopus with a chile and lime sauce topped with red onions and serrano peppers. It was more like an appetizer because all of my family was trying it! It's definitely a big portion too! The shrimp waa actually our appetizer to begin with. Those shrimps were ENORMOUS! It seems to have been cooked with butter. They were so flavorful. I had 3 and was getting full before my actual meal came! Another recommended dish! Everything else was still delicious yet something I have tried before.
It was a good seafood spot recommended by our taxi driver. You go upstairs to the restaurant. Upon arrival, my mom requested window seating. They weren't able to accommodate us and got some other couple to a window seat instead so there were some miscommunication. We ordered the shrimp ceviche tostada, 2 fish tacos and a small bowl of caldo 7 mares along with a margarita and pina colada. Food took a bit of time to come out but it was amazingly fresh and delicious! Shrimp ceviche had a tasty flavor and the breaded fish tacos were hot. The caldo 7 mares was okay. The overall cost of our lunch was all under $20 which is pretty surprising because it would have cost at least double or triple back home. Highly check this place out and they do have free wifi for their patrons ;)
I had four places in mind. Turned the corner, and POW, there it was... Mahi Mahi. I said, there we go! Front row parking, quick seating, nice breeze outside, and a great waiter. I ordered a dozen oysters naturales, a beer, and a carbonated lemonade for my compadre. Then came the chips and salsa. Green salsa was aiight. Red salsa was pretty good! A little sweet for my taste, but good. I also ordered a tostada de ceviche, coctel de campechana, steamed almejas, and a fish plate for my compa. Beer was COLD! Chips were good. Service was excellent. Overall, It was a great experience. My tostada was very tasty and FRESH. My cocktail, wow! Straight from the ocean.. I was a happy camper. Will do again!
Came here tonight because their photos on Yelp looked so good! They're grilled fish looked amazing so we had to try it. We ordered the tuna carpaccio for an appetizer. It was excellent-with flavors of soy and cilantro standing out. The tuna was so tender and marinated perfectly. The plate was large and the order generous but we finished it. I love the carpaccio so much here I think, sometime, I will just order one for my entree! The menu had the regular Ensenada entrees of ceviche on a tostada, shrimp and mixed cocktails as well as whole or filet of fish fried. And then we saw they had plain grilled fish-hubs ordered that and I got the grilled fish with garlic and olive oil. As it goes often with us, my husband liked the garlic & olive oil better and I liked the plain, so we switched-though there was so much garlic on the one piece-more than enough for two, I got a scoop for mine as well. The plain grilled was a bit dry so the garlic and olive oil helped. We enjoyed the food. The fish was so large we were able to take home leftovers. We would definitely come back.
Mahi mahi is amazing! Best service in town. The food is fresh and tasty. Highly recommend stoping by for some amazing seafood and some cold brews.
The name gives it away. It's a seafood place. While in Baja, I went on a lobster binge. That being said, this place doesn't compare to Puerto Nuevo. Don't get me wrong, they know their seafood. My wife's camarones rojos was excellente, but my lobster was so so. It was prepared the traditional way with drawn butter but was overcooked and dry. In fairness to them, we came around closing so maybe the chef was thinking about partying rather than cooking... The clam chowder, on the other hand was spot on. I'd bring that home by the gallon if I could. The drinks were really reasonable with my michelada costing around US$2.00 and the shot of DJ 1970 was US$4.50. My wife's DJ '70 strawberry margarita was around US$5.00. The location was easy to find and super close to the clubs. The guard in the parking lot was cool and let us leave our car there after dinner so we didn't have to find another spot. There were only local's dining when we were there and the waiter's English was fair at best. The menu is in Spanish, but I think just about anyone could figure it out. The name implies fish, but there's nothing fishy here, just good eats, drinks and a prime location.
Some of the best fish and seafood I've ever had. I had the pea ado al mojo de ajo (Garlic fish) which comes with some rice, and zucchini. It was smothered in garlic which I appreciated lol. I also shared a tuna tartar which was so fresh! Service was great, food came in an timely manner, and there was live music to entertain us as well. Can't wait to come back next time!
3rd time having lunch here. We enjoy the good food service and ambiance. Extensive seafood menu with lots of delicious options all reasonably priced. This time we tried for first time the Golondrinas de mar listed as an appetizer to be shared but absolutely delicious and would order as main entree next time. Recommended by the waiter as a seasonal item and pleasantly surprised with how good they are and how much we enjoyed them. Also had the fish taco and the shrimp cheese green raja taco both really good. Highly recommend Mahi Mahi when in Ensenada craving good seafood.
This was a recommend from our Air bnb host. Right smack in the crowded strip. We arrive and we're seated outside vs inside which we loved. Given chips and salsa to start, Was ok. We ordered the fish of the day which I had never had, the Sea Bass. It was served cooked in garlic and butter with a side of yellow saffron rice and a medley off well cooked veggies. My dish was very tasty and the sea bass was outstanding. Our second dish was the lobster termidor, which was served over yellow saffron rice with a tomato garnish. Both dishes were made very well and extremely tasty!!. Only reason this place gets 4 instead of 5 stars is because of the wait times. I would go back and give them another chance because the food is worth it.

I first tried this place 5 years ago. I came back today and wanted to get more crab claws. They are still delicious. The service is good. The ambiance is quiet and 70s music playing in the background. I definitely recommend if you want seafood. read more

Looking to grab some lobster, happened upon this spot. We had some margaritas and micheladas on deck...nice little breeze. Got the tuna carpaccio as an entree, honestly best thing we had. Lobster took forever to come out. Wasn't the greatest...small amount and dried out seems like the best description. Service was slow. The fish tacos were okay too. read more

This place is a bit touristy and loud but the food is excellent. Try the scallop carpaccio. It's really good. The clams were over cooked and the Tuna Tartar is attractive but lacks flavor read more

The service here is excellent. Our plates were constantly swapped out for clean ones. The food here is good. The fish tacos were great and the cheapest thing on the menu. We also had shrimp tacos which I would skip next time and just get more fish tacos. The tuna tartar was also pretty decent with big chunks of tuna and avocado. It resembled poke more than tartar but I'm not complaining. read more

We were just sitting at the bar area sipping on some mojitos briefly while waiting for another bar in the area to open. The service was great. The mojitos were some of the best we had on our trip. The staff were sweet and brought us some chips and salsa to accompany our drinks as well. Wish we had the time to try of the food here. The restaurant is huge and looks pretty fancy! read more

Nice place clean, great service, food is okay the only thing I ordered that I Truly loved was an appetizer shrimp toritos!!!! A Must!!! the main dish I ordered Camarones salsa de Ostion was not the best had to much bacon and it was not cooked enough for my liking. Pictures of dishes posted. Was not impressed with their calm chowder either but a must just for their Shrimp Toritos!!!! read more

Good service, nice place. The food took a little while to arrive because they were short staffed in the kitchen, but the wait was worth it, cause the food was tasty. The tortillas were really good...so it was the clam soup. read more

Good food, not pricy, the beer was not as cold, it was pretty warm. But the tuna tartar was very fresh and delicious. The tuna carpaccio was ok! I don't really like cilantro, it was pretty full of it. read more

I must say that after years of traveling to Ensenada and dining at various seafood locations Mahi Mahi is the best seafood experience at a great value. The restaurant is always busy and the waiters are friendly. They can accommodate large groups one of them was 30 people which I was kind of surprised but that's what you get with a popular restaurant. If I can describe it was one word it would be "fresh". Coconut shrimp was great but I'd recommend an appetizers with the plate if you have a big appetite try the tuna tartare which is delicious. The shrimp cocktail anytime is really good you can't go wrong with any of them if you like cocktails. I have the shrimp ceviche a lunch visit and it was very good fresh and tasty. Drinks for reasonable as well we ordered an appetizer to main dishes a couple round of drinks for two and it came out to about 50 bucks. read more

This place is hands down AMAZING . The staff, the food and ambiance. We went on a 4 day cruise to Ensenada for my mom's 60th bday. We wanted to celebrate her bday at a restaurant once we arrived in Ensenada. I spoke to Itania and she made sure our party of 32 people were taken care of. I didn't have cell service on ship, she advised me to download the WhatsApp app so we would be able to confirm the reservations. The day of we arrived 30minutes earlier than our reservation time. The staff was kind enough to take us all earlier. We were seated in the patio area which accommodated our large group. Our waiter Jesus made sure everything ran super smooth. My mom was so happy. Everything turned out great! Thank-you Mahi-Mahi Staff! Muchas muchas gracias! read more

We ordered the tuna tartar for an appetizer, very fresh and just the right blend of favors without the fishy smell. For the main dish I had the 7 seas soup in a large bowl and could only finish 1/2 . I will order the medium bowl next , very delicious read more
