THE FISH TACOS WERE SO SALSA WAS SO FLAVORFUL TOO, not that spicy but super tasty! I loved it. The pico as well so gooood! Taco Tuesday deal is fantastic! read more

This is my go-to spot for Fish Taco Tuesdays in Altadena. I was craving fish tacos today, so I stopped by again. They recently raised the price to $4.11 for two fish tacos, which is still a good deal in today's economy. I also come by on Thursdays for their meat taco specials, which I believe are now $3.71 after the price increase. Parking is easy since they share a large parking lot with SuperKing and Panda Express. I'll definitely keep coming back whenever a taco craving hits. read more

Great fish tacos !! They have a special on Tuesday's Taco for fish tacos 2/1 best deal. I chicken tacos are also great .. it's a small place but friendly . And very busy. They have tables outside when it gets to crowd. read more

Tacos Ensenada is a small taco chain specializing in fish and seafood tacos. I live near this location and have been wanting to check it out for some time. I was not impressed. I ordered the two fish taco combination plate ($10.99) which consisted of two of their signature fish tacos, rice, beans, and a small drink. Their signature fish taco was good, a fried piece of fish between two street taco tortillas, lettuce, salsa, and sour cream. The taco was a good rush of flavor with a little tang, but was somewhat soggy and flimsy. The rice was fair, and the refried beans a terrible, gelatinous mess that left behind pool of tepid bean water after each spoonful. The interior is colorful, but busy. It is not overtly dirty, but certainly far from the cleanest establishment I've been to. A condiment bar with peppers, onions, and lemons sat to the side, which I was reluctant to approach. The staff was friendly, however, guided me through the menu, and made a good recommendation. The turnaround time was very quite quick as well, perhaps 3-4 minutes. The value ($12 after tax) I thought was fairly middling for food of fair quality. I could get more quality for less at Chipotle or elsewhere. I would reconsider coming to Ensenada again for a special and for the fish tacos only, but not otherwise. Perhaps I am not the target audience for Tacos Ensenada. I left with my stomach full but tastebuds empty. ¡Qué pena! Food: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Value: 3/5 read more

I stopped here today for lunch and I am glad I did. I had ordered two tacos, one beef and one chicken and the lady said that if I get the special it comes with rice and frijoles and a soda so I did. They overload the tacos with plenty of meat and the amount of rice and beans are the right amount. The food is really tasty here. There is indoor seating here and a restroom if you need it, I was able to wash my hands prior to eating. The menu is very extensive and lots of choices. The place is kept clean and the staff is friendly. I highly recommend this place to others. read more

Ridiculous! We all ordered food and Everyone's food but mine came out. It was about 15 mins after everyone ate that they got their food. Ne oh thank you. read more

This location is small and busy, offering indoor seating. Plenty of parking! With that said, we always order takeout at least once a week. My go to dishes are the fish tacos, shrimp tacos, shrimp burrito, and oh my gosh, the bean and cheese burrito is hefty. The carne asada burrito and tacos are satisfactory, but I keep coming back for their seafood. Overall, the portions are generous for the price and there are plenty of peppers and onions to go on the side. The food is always delicious and my family is always satisfied with our meal. I recommend this spot because we are never disappointed with the food and service. read more

Worst Mexican food I've ever had. Sad to say because I love Mexican food. The asada meat in my burrito looked like it wasn't even cooked properly and a bit raw (the meat was red). I was in shock service wasn't that great. Ambiance was depressing. read more

Back here to remind people that this place charges $5 for a large FOUNTAIN soda and ALSO charges ANOTHER $1.50 for a refill! That amount of soda would cost PENNIES at wholesale. This place's greed is unbelievable. read more

Delicious fish tacos! Was treated by my daughter and I went back two days later! Great pico de gallo and fresh tasting breaded/fried fish! read more

Went in right before closing on Thursday night and they were still able to take my order. I got two tacos with carnitas and it was ready so fast. Such a great deal for good tacos! read more

Tried this place earlier in the week for the first time and the food is pretty average and you can probably find better quality somewhere else for cheaper price. My beef burrito had stale rice and the beef was just a little bit too salty. The service was very good though, very friendly workers and helpful! Noise level depends on the time of day you go, peak hours are usually around lunch time when it gets very packed. I would be willing to give it another shot and try something different next time I stop by, as one item doesn't dictate a whole restaurant. read more

Came in here Saturday around lunch time and it was busy but everything ran smooth. I pre ordered over the phone and when I got there my food was ready. There's also designated parking for tacos Ensenada so you're sure to be close. It's located right off Lincoln in a big Plaza next to a grocery store but there's always parking ! I got shrimp tacos and fish tacos for the family with rice and beans. Everything tasted amazing ! The vibe is pretty chill, everything is always clean and they have a bar for onions, chiles toreados and limes. I loved it here ! read more

Fish Tacos for $1.50 on Tuesdays ... what a deal! And they're *good* fish tacos, too! This location has both indoor and outdoor seating. On-site restrooms are available. The staff is easy to deal with. Plenty of parking is available on site. The condiment bar has purple onion slices, lime slices, and chili peppers available. Unfortunately, their beverage machine was broken during my visit, so I had to settle for their selection of bottled/canned drinks instead of getting a cup of horchata. :( read more

I highly recommend this particular location taco.Ensenada, in pasadena, I am so glad that you're in pasadena.Excellent customer service by all associates and the cooks are amazing.I was greeted with a smile by Alexandra and and Alexandria. 5 star! read more

So I love this place. One of the best shrimp burritos I've had and for a great price. The reason I'm giving a low rating is their to go system. So like the Duarte location when you order to go, they don't make the order. If you order ahead, you then have to wait in line to order when you get there and then when you tell them what you ordered 20 mins ago....they THEN make your order. When they fix this I'll update my rating to 5 stars, but it drives me crazy. What is the purpose of even taking phone orders read more

It's Taco Tuesday - two fish tacos for $4.11 out the door. These were scrumptious, as always. The tacos had a light crisp batter, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, crema and pleasantly spicy salsa. So good! I've been here many times before but not lately. (I'm eating out more at my favorite spots to be supportive since the fire). Today the fish filets were enormous! Service was prompt and friendly, as usual. The tacos were ready in just a few minutes. read more

This is a special Mexican food joint! I eat here on taco Tuesday when you can get two delicious big deep fried fish tacos for $3.75. Four of them will cost you 750 and you'll be full as can be!

Fantastic spot and great service. The best fish tacos on the East side and well worth the drive from the west side!

Waited a long time for scrambled eggs rice and beans and then it came to us cold. The eggs were Luke warm. We were the only patrons inside so that's not good. My father ate his meal because he was hungry and didn't want to complain, but I returned my meal and got a refund. They did offer to replace, but I can't trust in these instances, so I chose to be refunded. I have come to this place for tacos in the past, but now I know not to eat here for breakfast. read more

The most delicious fish tacos and shrimp tacos I've ever had! I devoured these tacos in a minute because of how good they were.

They have a big menu so there's really a lot to choose from! read more

I decided to stop for food on my way to work & honestly I should've kept going. I ordered a shrimp burrito & a side of fries. The service was good , but the food? Horrible. The fries were cold & the worst part of this was that I had A PIECE OF METAL in my shrimp burrito!?!??!? I couldn't even believe it when I bit into it. I hope they get shut down for their poor food I hope I don't get sick from this read more

Tacos Ensenada - Just found a piece of metal in my shrimp burrito..... I will never come back here & I hope they get shut down. - Seafood Near Me - Altadena, California

Average taco place. Decor could use some work. Have a veggie option with fajita veggies.

I LOVE their fish tacos!!! I come here like once a week. Went to papas and beer in Ensenada and the tacos can't compare to here!

I understand prices of ingredients have gone up, but if you're gonna raise the prices, it's ok but don't give us less food, 2 months ago I came and got a large shrimp cocktail and I went today and for the same price I got half of what I got back then, I don't mind paying your prices but at least give me enough food to eat....the food was salty also...hopefully I don't have to come back to this place. read more

The service was sluggish, the tables were unclean, and I was required to clean my own table. The quality of the food was subpar. When I requested a refill for my Diet Coke, I was charged an excessive amount of $1.59. This was an unpleasant experience, and I will not be returning to the establishment, even if the food were complimentary. And the parking sucks! read more

Great place to pick up tacos, especially on Taco Tuesday (fish tacos) and beef/chicken on Thursdays when they have specials. The food is fresh and quickly prepared. read more

The food here is just not good the fish tacos aren't even cooked fully, the taste is just bland this location and sierra madre are the worst locations to get your food always and I mean always disappoints.

If you live or work in Pasadena, and you love Tuesdays, then you must know Tacos Ensenada. Two words: TACO TUESDAY. But not just any tacos. Crunchy fish tacos. They used to be $1 each on Tuesdays, but recently gone up to $1.25. Still a phenomenal deal! Their fish tacos are SO big that it's probably the size of 2 of the tacos of the other places. Their fish tacos have all the hallmarks of what a great fish taco should have. Flakey, crunchy fried fish, accompanied by fresh slaws and cream. Their salsa is not for the faint of heart. If you're a wuss like me, I suggest you ask for it on the side. My first time there, I thought for $1 I'll be getting dinky tacos so I ordered 10 tacos for myself. I ended up eating just 4. I tried to eat #5, but just couldn't. And that is the story of why I love Tuesdays now. read more

Tacos Ensenada - Huge fish tacos. $1.25 on Tuesdays. Where else can you get a fish meal for $5? - Seafood Near Me - Altadena, California

The FISH TACOS here are great! Good ratio of fish to fixins. From the finely chopped fresh cabbage slaw to 'spicy' salsa to the perfectly fried light battered fish (NON-FISHY basa fish) and light crema - this family-own (multiple locations) resto serves up some of the BEST fish tacos. For non-spicy eaters, I would skip the salsa (it's spicy) and ask for extra pico de gallo, if you like. They do charge extra for salsas/condiments. Great stuff. This is my favorite spot for fish tacos other then Ricky's Fish Tacos in Silverlake, CA or Tony's Mexican Grill in Sherman Oaks, CA. I highly recommend Tacos Ensenada. **Parking is in a shared lot with Super King Market and Panda = Goodluck. ***Bring CASH as the credit card fee is odd. I think 4bucks. read more

Today me and girl friend went on a long hike and looked for tacos enseda in the area and we found this one. We always go to tacos Ensenada from highland park to Duarte and always love their food. We went to this one expecting same result. not even close the octopus taste led gummy and smelled like rotten i addressed to the manager I would assume he was since the cashier told him to address the issue and he looked like he just rolled out bed horrible attitude his response does not smell bad because he cooked and the piece he grabs it and smells it and eats I didn't want to say anything but my girl friend spit it out and he ate it lol very unprofessional and says nothing is wrong with it and has the audacity to say would you like me to remove it I was not in the mood to argue and said no just give us another tostada of shrimp would be fine and he walks away thinking we can't hear him complaining on the back he cooked it lol. Yeah how Many days ago. We eat a lot sea food and know what is fresh we will just not go to this tacos enseda again... how the he'll your going to get piece from the plate and eat it he seriously need to be re trained and taught how to dress when he is representing your business tacos enseda. We will stick to the one in Duarte and highland park read more

It's not cheap if you're not there for one of their special deal days, but unlike the fast food restaurants like the ones down the street which jacked their prices up and made their product considerably worse, the tacos and burritos here are great. No stingy portioning and they are delicious. read more
