    Tripa taco with only onion and cilantro.

    Best Tripa tacos ever. They serve the Tripa tacos with shredded lettuce and avocado I was not expecting for them to come out prepared like that, I was in doubt about trying it at first and kinda bummed but it was so delicious. Taco size is big and no they are not stingy with the amount of meat. I ordered one without the lettuce and avocado because I was curious and my fat boy mentality took over, was hard to choose which one's better tasting. Service was great as well. horchata and Jamaica are pretty good too. Recommend for sure

    I dont eat pork or organs but for asada, this is best. Huge tacos, no crap Quality meat, not chewy cheap grade Huge Great cilantro, guacamole, onions Very busy place, main street, security guard Very good value for the $

    Tacos de adobada

    Every time we're out in Ensenada we stop by & grab our first meal here. The service is relatively fast & the staff are kind. The tacos are a good portion size & taste good. I've also tried their torta which was huge & I couldn't finish. Recommend tacos de adobada (al pastor).

    Just 4 minutes from where we were staying. And this is chefs kiss. It's really good. My family and I really enjoyed this spot. The asada tacos have a smoked flavor that was just amazing and al pastor was great too. They give you all the salsas, cucumber, radish, grilled onions, lime, and pineapple bits for the al pastor. It was so good, and they don't skimp you on anything. The drinks are free refill. I recommend the horchata. If you are a tourist and want the taste of locals this is the spot! You won't regret it.

    This place is delicious! If you are looking for great street tacos, this is your spot. The adobada/pastor is one of the BEST!

    Excellent tacos! We had the Carne asada tacos served in flour tortillas! We asked for the tacos with everything and the resulting taste was exceptional. The tacos were stuffed with very tasty meat and were served with a variety of salsas and other sides (sliced radishes and cucumber) We arrived at approximately 11:30 AM and were greated by a friendly server who promptly provided us with menus then took our order. We went to one other taco stand while in Ensenada but this establishment was head and shoulders above the other. The establishment was very clean and they adhered to very safe covid practices.

    Best taco place in Ensadena. Their tacos are just fantastic. Any time of the day you go, you can eat tacos without tje long wait. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to try out authentic Mexico tacos and be happy about the taste.

    Grilled veggies and cucumbers.

    Hands down our favorite taco shop in Ensenada. Anytime we crave tacos we go out of our way to come here, maybe even three times during the week. We always order their quesataco de al pastor on flour tortillas. They bring out grilled onions, jalapenos and cucumbers while you wait and always have red and green salsa, radishes and limes. Servers are quick and regularly check up on you for anything you may need. They also have someone checking out the parking so you can enjoy your food and worry about your car being broken into. Clean bathrooms always stocked with soap and paper towels. Definitely a must if you are ever in Ensenada

    I'd heard about Tacos El Poblano for a long time but never knew where it was until I stayed at a…read morelocal hotel and it's right by the entrance. My first visit I was hooked!! The Asadores are awesome and will let you try a sample before you order. I got a small piece of the pastor and asada and both were great! I'm more of an Al Pastor guy so I got a couple of those on corn tortillas and a single asada taco "Con todo" and it was huge! Couple the tacos with a Coca Cola and you've got a small slice of heaven on a colorful plastic plate! I've since been back a dozen or more times when staying at Estero Beach Hotel or on the way back to the house from playing golf at Baja Country Club as a "hold me over" until dinner. If you're driving north or south on Hwy. 1, take a quick detour off the main path for a meal or a snack. You won't be disappointed. Pro Tip: Get the pineapple on the al pastor tacos. See you guys soon!! I'll always be back.

    Delicious tacos or had during our trip to Ensenada! Key tip here for people that were intimidated…read moreby the line like I was, if there's a big group there: go to the spot for the meat you want! Usually there's a huge line for Carne Asada tacos, but often because people don't know that if they want the adobada tacos, they need to go to the other line. When I went, there was no line for the adobada tacos so I went straight in and got my tacos as I wanted! The tacos were a good size, tasty, and super fresh! I wish I would've tried the Carne tacos, but the line was so long - next time! Then get your tacos and pay for it on the side. Good to go! I recommend the crêpe shop next-door to if they're open when you go.
