    While walking on the Malecon, we checked if Muelle3 has room for 4 hungry guests and fortunately,…read moreonly one table was occupied. The last time my friends attempted to eat here, the restaurant was full and it will take at least a 30 minute wait to get seated. Today, the 21st of November was our lucky day as we were craving the freshest ceviche Ensenada has to offer and experiencce the five star rating Muelle 3 was known for. Our party of 4 chose to sit outside to eat lunch on this cool, cloudy Friday afternoon and be exposed to the sights and sounds of this busy commercial and fishing port. Within minutes of getting settled, our free appetizer - Tortilla Espanola and a plate full of lemon & lime slices with an oyster shell-full of sea salt and chili powder occupied the center of our table. Then came the Ceviche de la casa. A winner in my book of ceviches! Plus a coaster-sized, fresh off the pan tortilla chips gave it a unique serving style. We had to order another bowl of tortillas because eating ceviche without it just won't be the same. The Calamar frito were perefectly breaded, without excess flour and grease in every bite. Another winner! Last but not the least is the Pasta de Mar with the clams of different sizes and pre-cut scallops in the their shell. Muy Delicioso! More hungry patrons started arriving and we still got prompt service. I will make it a point to grab a satisfying seafood dish or two here the next time I visit Ensenada whether by car or by cruise ship.

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.

    Our FAVORITE place when in Ensenada is La Cevicheria. We have been visiting for a couple of years…read morenow and its still a standout in service and menu items. 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!

They have plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. We got 2 types of ceviche per our server's recommendations, both were fire. I got 3 types of tacos, 2 were amazing but the 3rd one with octopus wasn't good, a little too chewy for my liking and there wasn't a lot of flavor. But the other two tacos were amazing, can't replicate anything like that back home. Overall great place, will come back down here any time I'm in Ensenada

The service is incredible. Armando our server was so attentive and respectful. We even got free tequila shots! The pina colada was great! Served in a pineapple or a glass. 10/10. The michalada was delicious and so were the mango margaritas. Fresh mango inside not too sweet and had silver tequila. 10/10. The ceviche was outstanding and fresh. The shrimp are brought daily from the local fish market along with the fish and rest of the seafood. Ceviche 10/10. Huge serving. Their fish tacos were fried to perfection on homemade tortillas. Served woth 2 slasas limes and a fresh Pico. Also bottles of crema and Baja sauce. 10/10. The carne asada my wife and daughter got were also amazing they rate 10/10. They have real.time usd to peso rates taped to the walls so you know they are honest and not trying to rip you off. The prices are very reasonable. 3 drinks, free shots, 7 tacos and ceviche was only 61 bucks. Yiu cant beat that for the freshness and cleanliness of the entire place compared to everything else we have seen. Please take the time and go here! And easy 10 minute walk from the port and you wont be disappointed i promise!

    On the way to the fresh seafood market in Ensenada I passed by a family owned business that had…read moresome nice people working. They asked if we wanted to have lunch, but we wanted to get some fresh fish before it sold out. I paid little attention to their offer to cook my fish for me at that moment, however when we found some live lobsters I thought that it would be great to enjoy a margarita while they did the cooking. We arrived with the lobsters and discussed preparation with the chef. She was eager to please and offered to serve to serve it with beans, rice, salad, bread and french fries, a Mexican feast! While I was discussing the order a huge party coming from one of the cruise ships sat down slamming the restaurant. Every staff member worked very hard to take their orders before coming for my drink order. I finally got a margarita what was about a 2 out of 5. The tequila was barely noticeable and they used some mixer that I did not enjoy. I sipped it anyways as the understaffed kitchen brought out about 20 plates to the cruise ship group. My meal, some sort of Lobster Thermidor type stuffed lobster, takes a lot of work and time to prepare. Of course they made all of the other food last and our wait was extraordinary. I would have walked out if my birds were not in the kitchen. After the hour plus wait they brought out our meals. The rich preparation lobster had great flavor due to a heavy dose of cream and some fresh vegetables in the sauce. It could have used another 5 minutes in their "Mexican" broiler as the cheese was not melty enough. It was pretty obvious that they plated the beans and rice really early as they arrived cold. I did not mention the forgotten bread and french fries and was happy to be eating by then. When the bill arrived there were 2 plates on my ticket that were consumed by the cruise ship passengers who shared out table but were long gone. The chef/owner graciously removed them from our tab along with those watery margaritas. In the end this is is a restaurant that I would return to, with owners that are eager to please their guests. I caution you to look out for cruise ships and make sure that you do not get behind a large pack of tourists.
