    A now empty table at 4:50, in which we're still not seated.
    Hector N.

    Este siempre ha sido un lugar obligatorio cada vez que estamos en la ciudad. La comida es fresca y llena de sabor; recomiendo el sashimi, el risotto con pescado y hasta la pasta. Por eso esta experiencia me decepcionó tanto. Después de un tiempo sin venir, decidimos regresar. Hice una reservación para 5 personas a las 4:30 pm un sábado. Llegamos puntuales, pero nuestra mesa no estaba lista. El mesero me dijo que no tardaría, así que esperamos. Pasaron 10 minutos, luego 15, luego 20. Cada vez que preguntaba, me decían que la mesa "ya casi estaba", aunque yo podía ver claramente que la mesa seguía ocupada y luego que el grupo se estaba yendo. Cuando finalmente se levantaron, aún no nos sentaban. Nos dijeron que necesitaban limpiarla, así que nos quedamos ahí esperando. Para ese momento ya eran las 5 pm, treinta minutos después de nuestra hora de reservación. Lo que más me molestó no fue la espera, sino la falta total de comunicación y de cortesía. Nadie explicó la razón del retraso, nadie ofreció una disculpa. Incluso hablé con el dueño o gerente, y tampoco se disculpó ni intentó mejorar la situación. Simplemente siguió con lo suyo como si nada hubiera pasado. Nunca había tenido una mala experiencia aquí, por eso esta me dejó un mal sabor de boca, no por la comida, sino por el servicio. Si esto es lo que puedo esperar aun con reservación, prefiero no regresar. Esperé para escribir esta reseña porque quería hacerlo con la cabeza fría y no de manera impulsiva. De verdad espero que el dueño la lea, porque un simple "disculpa por la molestia" habría sido suficiente. La comida es excelente, pero un buen servicio crea clientes leales.

    Been trying to come here on our last few trips but every time it's difficult to get there before they close their hours are limited it seems. But on to the good stuff, we had a cocktail & a beer my husband had the camaron ajo with pasta. I had the fish of the day ( yellowtail) with a side salad and tomatoes & peppers. All very delicious with nice portions. I loved the side salad that had a nice vinaigrette my fish was grilled perfectly. My husband's pasta was equally yummy. Wonderful find! A must if you're in the Ensenada harbor

    As always, lovely Limonada natural , pin pon, sashimi de pescado, y calamar frito Cerveza wendland, y modelo negro Rico!!!

    The best place in Ensenada. I loved their ceviche, seafood pasta, calamari and fish risotto.

    Ceviche special

    Attention Valle de Guadalupe travelers. We visited VDG recently and spoke w new friends who live near Las Playas. They told us about a local favorite in Ensenada. (I think Ensenada is about 40 minutes from VDG). Muelle 3 is on the pier and tucked away from all the hustle and bustle. Don't sweat the hawking from restaurants trying to get you to eat at their place. We were on a mission and I'm so glad we did. This is a small place and reservations are preferred because they do get your groups. We were lucky to get a seat at the bar. The seafood was the freshest I've had. We tried the following: 1. Ceviche de casa- they're special w four kinds of seafood. Perfect. 2. Fresh yellow tail over risotto. It was ridiculously full of flavor. And the perfectly grilled fish was a perfect compliment. 3. Lovely Margaritas. It's all in the mix and these were great. I'm not taking any chances on my next trip to VDG and will be making a res here for sure. Shout out to Caleb our server who took such great care of us.

    I discovered Muelle 3, years ago while exploring Ensenada. I've been wanting to go back ever since. 4 years later and the visit didn't disappoint. We went on day two and made a reservation for day three haha. Unlike the pushy, muelles around the corner, muelle 3 is a modern twist on traditional mariscos. Everything is elevated except the price. Definitely check out the risotto and the steamed clams and mussels in white wine. Reservations aren't required, but highly recommended. This was by far our favorite restaurant on our latest Ensenada trip.

    Calamari

    Love this quaint spot in Ensenada in the fishing harbor. The food was simple and straightforward. The owner was there and was touching tables to be all was good. Recommend!!

    Octopus huitlacoche
    Ginevra A.

    Very cool spot at the end of a row of seafood restaurants. Please note you need to walk through the black market (fish) and then turn right at the pier and the photo on google maps is incorrect! This place doesn't look like the rest. Aka not touristy and loudly decorated. Nice play on industrial, nautical colors and warm wood accents. We tried four dishes for lunch. The hours are different, open until 630 so we opted for a late lunch today without dinner. Arrived at 330pm to the Smiths playing on the sound system. You can see a fridge with a few carefully curated local white wines and beers, we didn't partake today however. Clam chowder - quite different from your traditional New England Style, a little thinner (a good thing) but lovely clammy flavor. Yellowtail tostada - loved! Fresh as hell fish, tomatoes, ginger, cucumber and grapes! I loved the addition of grapes. Octopus Huitlacoche with cheesy polenta and corn. This was delicious! I don't eat much octopus but it was done well, nice flavor from the corn and huitlachoche and a creamy richness from the polenta. Shrimp with garlic and salad - this was the only dish that was a bit pedestrian. But I wanted some gambas ai ajillo . This was a great experience - recommend highly!

    seviche de la casa

    Fantástico lugar, no aparenta un gran restaurante pero lo es, de verdad, pequeño pero con una carta de comida de mar realmente excelente y fresca, con un servicio increíble, vengan a comer aquí!!!

    Fresh clams

    Always a fantastic experience, seafood is as fresh as it gets, right off the boat!!! Beautifully prepared, delicious with a view of the ocean. Side note: their salsa matcha is fabulous, and different from any I've had; I need the recipe!

    Fish Sashimi

    Little gem in Ensenada , the food is great and be aware portions are huge so u recommend an appetizer and then share a main. Also strongly recommend make a reservation since it a very little restaurant.

    Ensenada. The tide dragged our vessel toward the coast as if compelled by ancient…read morepact--barnacle-bound and whisper-wrapped. 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 liked that they have colorful flags outdoors, which lent to the open and casual feel of this restaurant while also incorporating the Mexican culture. The waiter spoke English and was able to explain the menu. For drinks, I chose the Berry Sangria. This came in a huge glass! Loved the layering of this drink. 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. This came accompanied with a bag of tostadas and four types of sauces. 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've never had this type of ceviche before and I was pleasantly surprised with different types of seafood that tasted fresh and vibrant. Definitely a great place to visit that wasn't overly crowded. I'd definitely visit again!

I was so excited to come here because I was on the hunt for a restaurant that served Aguachile! Options for the Aguachiles included Negro, Rojo, or Verde. I opted for the Aguachile Verde. The entire dish was so refreshingly light and palatable. I was obsessed with the taste of the fresh shrimp, cucumber, and red onion, all soaked in the tasty verde sauce and Tajín. It paired so well with the tostadas. It was also priced reasonably at MX$325, equivalent to about $19. The portion and abundance of the Aguachile were plentiful, as I was full when I finished. The ambiance of the restaurant was beautifully inviting and vibrant. I loved the presentation of the colorful, decorative papel picado flags, which added to the celebration of Mexican culture. The atmosphere was amazingly festive as a whole. The customer service was welcoming and friendly. Overall, La Cevichería Oyster Bar did not disappoint with the incredible Aguachile. I highly recommend coming here for that or any seafood dish that you're craving.

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.
