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.

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 host /server was extremely friendly and welcoming and helped me decide on my meal and even suggested an alternative when I opted out of the wine sauce the vegetables are originally cooked with. The location was empty but I assume it was due to the late hour, which I appreciated that they were still open! Looking forward to stopping in for a healthy option next time I'm in the area.

Absolutely loved our experience at Bistro Lo Natural!…read more From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and perfect for families. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care, and the service was attentive without feeling rushed. Our kids felt comfortable and happy, which says a lot, and the space itself is bright, clean, and relaxing. This is the kind of place you want to come back to again and again. Highly recommend for a great meal and an even better experience! Heads up the menu has changed I didn't get ahead of chance to get photos but it is still great never the less. If you are ever in Ensenada and want a decent healthy breakfast or meal stop by say Hi - and enjoy.

Amazing place. With very little vegan options ( at least hard to find and without speaking Spanish,…read morehard to explain ) this place is a GEM. We ordered vegetable tempura which was a HUGE portion, my bf got beef and shrimp teriyaki also a HUGE portion and he loved it, and I got the biggest most well put together just beautiful sushi burrito. It was FILLED with fresh veggies, avocado, tofu, and perfectly cooked sticky rice. We both also had iced jasmine tea which was great. I wish we tried a roll also but it was also so much food as it was, so will have to go back! Everything came out to exactly $20 and we both had leftovers. 10/10 would recommend!! Staff was sooo friendly and nice too!!!

I hate that I'm not eating Mexican food while in Mexico, but at most places in EBC my option is a side order of avocado and an order of corn tortillas, so... I always get the same roll here, maybe yasai or something like that and it's delicious. It's massive. You won't need more than one roll. They offer what they call veganesa which is beet based and yummy and also a soy sauce with chiles in it. And they are SO NICE that it makes me want to come back.

It has changed but still the great party place. Because of that, prices are a little higher than some of the other local places but still, if you want to be in a party atmosphere, you have to come here for a little while at least. Along with beers and a couple of mixed drinks [simple stuff like Bacardi and Coke] we also had a guacamole made at our table. It was pretty good. Service was awesome and the music is so much fun. Hip Hop to Mariachi music, just a great vibe.

They're are two guys that go into the crowd, take people on stage, pour shots in their mouths, then flip them upside down. Entertaining to watch because of course they go for the largest people, mainly women. The shrimp tacos were not good to me. I left them on the table. The waiter told us how much our total was and added the tip himself. No bill. I don't like janky practices. I suggest you bring cash here. This place is something to do when you have time to kill or your first time in Ensenada.

They even have a vegan pasta I wish I had tried or gotten to-go. I believe there's a vegan combo, too. I ordered the 3 cheese (vegan) and the staff member said he didn't have the other 2 cheeses at the moment so I then changed my order to pesto. About 5 minutes later he came to our table with a spoonful of the vegan cheese for me to try to make sure I liked it. It was delicious. How thoughtful! The only con is that my boyfriend ordered the non-vegan pesto option and received the vegan option, as well. I personally don't see it as a con (lol) and he liked it but it wasn't 100% correct. A cut was only 85 pesos! Affordable and delicious.

And they have several varieties of vegan pizza. Even though I would rather eat anything than pizza when I'm in Mexico, there is a serious lack of vegan food here, and I end up at this spot all the time. You can order a slice, or a whole pizza. And I think there's a vegan special on Thursdays, but I can't remember what it is. Check their FB for more info.

Never too busy even in the afternoon - they have plenty of tables outside and inside. We walk from the cruise ship terminal and its only about 15 minutes. No need to take the $4 per person shuttle if you are able to walk. They first seat you and bring out 4 different salsas/dips with tostadas that are so light and salty and crispy. The servers are awesome, they are quick and always come around to check on us. We speak some Spanish, but they are happy to speak English as needed! Unfortunateley there is only 1 bathroom, that's the only drawback. We normally get the regular oysters, the baked oysters, fish tacos and ceviche. Always delicious and such a great price! A dozen oysters is only $12. And they are large, not the mini versions in Cali. Unheard of in the states, so we ONLY get oysters in Mexico haha. This time we tried the Keto Taco - OMG so good, and now a new favorite. It's large and made of toasty cheese with fish and veggies inside. This time we got the shrimp ceviche and the large chunks of fresh shrimp are so darn good. Put some mayonesa on the tostada and then some ceviche, then some hot sauce and WOW! The limes they give are so juicy and ripe. We love their sangria, large portions and various flavors. Till next time!
