This is very out of the way from what most people know as TJ. This is east TJ. Villas del Real to be exact. But don't let that stop you. Search for this place if you're out in the area. Their tacos are excellent. It's always carne asada. Sometimes they have chorizo or tripa. If chorizo is on the menu make sure you order a campechano, a wonderful combination of carne asada and chorizo. There all also quesadillas, tostadas and tortas. Try a vampiro, a tostada with grilled Oaxaca cheese. Or if you're really hungry order a mula. A double quesadilla with extra meat and all the trimmings. They"re usually opened from 6 PM Till they're done. Usually string 1 AM.

We come to Ensenada to race the Baja 1000 and make at least two trips to Tio Toño's cart during our stay. I highly recommend the ceviche and another dish he bakes in a big clam shell on a toaster oven sitting on the tailgate of his white truck. Seating is plastic chairs under a 10x10 easy up, but you won't care because the food is so good. If you try it (and I hope you do) tell him Desert Dingo Racing sent you.

If I recall correctly, there was a line on each side of the tiny stand to separate the ceviche menu and the fish menu (I would triple check with the staff which line you're standing in before you start your 30 minute wait!). They accept both cash and card, and you'll find both locals and tourists in line. That's when you know it's good :) The best, freshest seafood I had my entire trip. I visited in June, so I think the summer vacation folks made it more crowded but I promise it's worth it! There was a sauce table where many customers were pouring from different bottles onto their orders, and I wish I had the courage to try them lol. If you're adventurous with spice, I would go for it! I found the ceviche completely fine without anything extra, and I was able to bring it back to the ship to take my time enjoying.

Yelp Mexico Badge + Taco Crawl = ¡El mejor y delicioso día de todos!…read more After the first two street vendor taco crawls, Taco Isabel was our (with Yelp Buddies Ran C. and Isobel L.) third street vendor taco crawl/stop before hitting up Avenida Revolución. Ran had eaten here before and he liked it, and so of course, I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to try out their birria taco. When in Rome (well, Mexico, lol!)... Side Note: The first two vendors do not have their own Yelp page nor permanent spot locations. First vendor was Tacovarios La Guerita ($1.25 breakfast bistec con papas taco) and the second vendor was Tacos Veloz ($2 for birria taco + Mexican Coca-Cola). For $1.20, their birria was tender, meaty and a generous portion too! Dipped in the birria's juices and topped with cilantro and onions, I would get this again! Served with two corn tortillas, I especially, loved that they fry them up a bit. Not only does it give that yummy and crunchy effect, but it also holds up the fillings nicely. I would have gotten the Adobada (similar to al pastor) as well, but I needed to save room for the rest of our trip, hehe! Service: The staff here are friendly and quick. Just tell them what kind of taco(s) you want, and it'll be ready within less than five minutes. When you're done eating, you can give them back the plastic plates (a lot of the street taco vendors recycle their plastic plates - some have plastic bags wrapped over them while others rinse them out). You'll also pay after you're done eating (opposite end of the cart). Taco Isabel accepts both American money and pesos. Ambience and Décor: Al fresco, street dining, hehe! Watch out for cars. They have a few chairs to sit on behind their cart. There's also a counter (standing room only) in front of their cart. Definitely recommend checking out Taco Isabel. Their birria is tasty and getting the Adobada next time!

This port was a stop for the Carnival Cruise Line (Ship - Carnival Radiance) to explore Ensenada. Upon arrival, disembarking from the cruise ship was easy. Guests were able to walk directly off the ship with the crossing bridge. At the port, I was pleased with the couple of offerings with the vibrant 'Ensenada' signs for photo-worthy pictures. The waterfront area offered decent views, with a plethora of boats and many plants ashore. The port itself was easy to navigate through but it was a bit of a walk into Ensenada. When walking into the city, there were a bunch of street-based food/merchandise vendors, restaurants, convenience stores, and local businesses nearby. Overall, the cruise port allows the opportunity to venture around Ensenada, Mexico for shopping, dining, sightseeing and so much more. Ensenada provided an adequate exploration experience. Much appreciation to Carnival Cruise Lines for bringing guests here while on the cruise vacation to experience the Mexican culture.

Honorary 6 Stars In…read moreEnsenada, our absolute favorite thing to do is eat fresh churros. It was raining on our port day, but we still ventured out to feed our churro craving. Luckily, Churros El Tio Gelos was in the first grouping of booths that you get to walking from the cruise ships. My daughter said "That's the one from last time! I remember because of the Minions". Try to remember your pesos since they charge a premium if you only have dollars. When we got there, they had a stack of churros ready to go in a fry basket. We waited a few minutes for them to sell through those. Once they started a new batch, we asked if we could have the fresh ones. One of the workers extrudes the churro batter directly into the oil, flips it once, and pulls it magical coils once they turn golden brown. Then the coil is broken down into sticks, coated in sugar and cinnamon, and into a paper bag or styrofoam box. I'd have them put it directly into my mouth if it was allowed. If you've ever gone to a theme park and thought the churros were pretty good, these churros will blow your mind. They're crispy on the outside, a little chewy on the inside, and just the right amount of sugar, cinnamon, and oil. It just lights up every sensor in the primitive parts of our brains. One of the only foods we don't have a good picture of since we eat them immediately. Easily one of the best bites I've ever had.

The stand is runner by a wife/husband team and you'll find their daughters running around. They have both burrito a and lengua which is tongue. At $.75/birria taco and $1.00/lengua taco it doesn't get much cheaper than this. Also in the menu at e quesadillas with and without meat. I suggest you order a dorado, it's a regular taco with all the trimmings you want but they place it back in the pan and let it crisp a bit more.
