    Shrimp cocktail
    Alfonso J.

    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.

    Welcome

    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!

    Large Mahi Mahi outside the building let's you know you are in the right place.

    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.

    7 mares soup...delish!!!

    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.

    Best dang clam chowder this side of New England.

    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.

    Tuna tartar
    Alisa M.

    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!

    Golondrinas de mar

    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.

My fellowship, a cluster of mere mortals with taste far keener than foresight, insisted we seek a place foretold in gustatory prophecy: La Cocedora de Langosta. I assented, though the sea had begun to speak again. A cruel trick of salt and memory. We arrived. The lobster was not served--it presented itself. Shell split like prophecy fulfilled, meat steaming with tales older than Atlantis. The ceviche? Lime and fire in perfect alchemy. It hissed in my mouth like the last words of a betrayed siren. A whole fish, fried until its soul ascended, left bones so clean they could be used in ritual. Angels wept; I salted accordingly. The risotto arrived next, not on a plate but in a chalice. Each bite stirred marrow and memory, comfort and command. My sea legs stood straighter. My resolve thickened. Libations flowed--freely, fervently, faultlessly. The chalice refilled itself (or perhaps the staff were trained in illusion and replenishment). Laughter, clinking glass, and something close to joy dared to rise. Staff were keen-eyed adepts, operating with the grace of trained familiars. The atmosphere carried hints of volcanic enchantment and citrus optimism. Barry the Brave Muffin Baker--my misguided nemesis-ally--might have found peace here. Or at least, a decent aioli. Verdict: A rare convergence of flesh, flavor, and fate. Five stars scorched upon the firmament by my hand. I may never return. But that's only because the enchantment forbade it.

I think what I really liked about this place is that they accommodated my friend with his vegetarian needs. The vegetarian pasta dish that they generated looked very appetizing. This place is on the north side of the black fish market so there is less foot traffic.

I also ordered the Tamarind Margarita, which was darker than anticipated. Definitely had a tamarind forward flavor. I also had the oysters , which was nice and meaty but it wasn't as cold as I would like. I also tried the Ceviche De La Casa which had tuna, clams, octopus and tuna.

I loved the fact that you can adjust the flavoring of your ceviches with the available salsas including bottled ones that are brought to the table!

I'd definitely visit again!

The restaurant feels more upscale than expected, but still clearly a place locals frequent, which is usually a good sign. It specializes in seafood. If you don't speak Spanish, they do provide an English menu, though prices are listed in pesos. We ordered 6 tacos total, 4 fish and 2 shrimp, along with 2 cokes and 2 bottled waters. They also brought complimentary chips, salsas, lime, and cabbage, plus ketchup and mayo on the side (we didn't end up using those). The tacos were simple but very well done. The fish and shrimp were fried fresh, light and crispy without being greasy. The shrimp was my favorite. The pico de gallo was fresh and flavorful, and the lime and cabbage added a good balance and crunch. I honestly wish I would've ordered their whole fried fish because it looked incredible, but there's no way two people could've finished it in one sitting. The restaurant itself was clean, and the staff were extremely attentive. The service felt high-class in the sense that they were very respectful and treated the experience with care, almost like a fine dining environment, while still being approachable. Total came out to about $40 USD with a 20% tip ($34 before tip), which is excellent value for the quality and portion. Overall, this is a solid seafood spot in Ensenada. Simple food done right, elevated by great service and a clean, welcoming environment.
