I came here hoping for the prices on their website--they've skyrocketed their prices and have not updated. I know I know, everything is expensive nowadays. I think for the price, the quality was okay. I got the asada fries ($19) and their fish and shrimp tacos were also pretty good. I'd be back for the tacos but would skip the fries. read more

Long waits. Food is okay. Their service is kinda weird sometimes Placing your order in English is a bit tricky depending who's on the shift I guess. Multiple times I've caught a few amount of the staff not washing their hands Or changing gloves after cleaning or touching money While packing or handling people's meal there's no supervisor or manager watching over ( straight cross contamination according to health department standards) in one occasion saw a lady picking up the floor carpet then ran back to pack someone's food without changing her gloves - I ask myself how many people stepped on that carpet today - that day I threw my food away $30 is Not fair money doesn't come easy to me. They have cameras if I lie - but if I was the owner I would definitely Re-train my staff or hire a manager that would know how to run the business with proper standards. Not going back even though I support family businesses . Not this one..enough. read more

Another one of those "stop for a quick bite" place Nothing fancy. Fish Tacos were really good. Ordered it with everything g and it did not disappoint. I wish they served Mexican rice but alas just plain white rice with a touch of cilantro I think. But if you're in Sierra Madre not a bad stop. read more

Food is fresh. Service is different at each location but almost always friendly. There isn't much to the ambiance but the cleanliness also differs location to location. We've been going for years and the Duarte remains the beat for indoor seating and consistency. read more

Sooooo good! Go on Taco Tuesday, you get 2 tacos for the price of 1. It was around $3.85 total. The store is clean and right in the cute downtown of Sierra Madre. read more

This review is based on MY EXPERIENCE eating at Tacos Ensenada on several occasions. I rate the ambience as POOR because of the anti-ICE message I SEE MYSELF that the owners post on the door. I do not appreciate criticism of our law enforcement in a restaurant, and I do not appreciate Yelp removing my previous review when it was clear that it was based on MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. read more

Prices have gone way up, but portions have not. I bought a soda thinking it was $2.50, but that turned out to be for a REFILL...it's $4.99 for a soda. read more

(Review from 3/15/24, went in around 8:30pm) My sister told me about this place. We both were in the mood for fish tacos. She's eaten here many times. So last night we went with kids to eat. I ate the fish tacos and shared a side of rice with my daughter. The fish tacos are a little smaller than other places. But they are so good!! So flavorful and tasty. Their chile asados were sooooo good!!! It was a great choice eating here. My niece's ate bean and cheese burritos. My daughter had fish tacos with just the creama. My sister had 2 fish tacos and a side of bean. The employees were nice but you can tell where a bit tired since it was closer to closing time. They have tables inside and a seating area outside as well. Before I left I ordered my boyfriend some food. He wanted Tostada de agua chile and 3 tacos dorado de camarón. He said it was good. I definitely will be coming back to try different things. read more

Asada Burrito was bomb good portions and little wait. Better than expected peace out

Fish tacos are the best I had in a long time since going to Mexico !!! Very fresh tasting and delicious definitely a must.

I love the fish tacos most. They're fast, clean and freshly served. I wasn't a fan of spicy at first but now i do because of them!

The best Mexican food I have in Los Angeles area. The price is reasonable, it is a to go or self serve place . read more

Not great customer service. The cashier was not especially friendly and also got my order wrong. I ordered one beef taco and one shrimp taco. I repeated it twice. And I tipped her a dollar. When my to-go order was ready, she called out, "One beef, one fish." I thought she probably just misspoke, so I checked the bag when I was walking out the door. Nope -- there was a fish taco in there. I turned around and told her, "No, this was supposed to be a shrimp taco." Well, she argued with me about it and insisted that I had ordered a fish taco. I said, "No, it was shrimp." She showed me the receipt, which said "fish" in Spanish, I guess. "That means fish," she said. I looked at her skeptically and said, "I'm pretty sure I ordered shrimp." She just stared at me blankly and made no offer to substitute it for a shrimp taco, so I just left. I have to admit, the fish taco was good (better than the beef taco, which had overcooked meat and was not good). But the old adage "the customer is always right" does not seem to exist at this place. read more

I've been coming this place Tuesdays and Thursdays over a year (a great deal price!!) . Fish tacos are the bomb!! I also like their chicken tacos. Juicy and so tasty!! A good service! They set up a new A/C recently. And lemons, pickled chilies, and pickled onions are free for your dish. There's Latin music on and it brings out a great ambiance for having Mexican food! read more

So good just so good. Toastada de camarón is amazing. Highly recommend you check it out if you are close. Guacamole can be pretty good too. I've always liked it! read more

The vegetarian burrito is listed as rice , beans , pico de gallo etc .. first time I got it a few months ago, I opened it up and there was literally 2 beans inside . So for some reason I went back tonight to get food , ordered the same thing and decided to open it up . ZERO rice or beans. a tortilla filled with pico de gallo and lettuce for 10 bucks . Won't be back . there isn't even a salsa bar . read more

$2 extra to add "queso" to a vegetarian burrito is ridiculous. $2 extra for "queso" and then forgetting to put the "queso" on the burrito is super ridiculous. read more

Wow this restaurant went to far as raising the prices and making the size smaller, I asked for large shrimp cocktail and now the large is what the medium used to be but the prices just keep going up and up, ok i understand everything is going up but come on if we pay your prices at least give us the same amount of food we used to get, I'm not going back to this place ever again read more

I'm so glad I remembered this place when we were headed back from Ventura. This is a must try! The food is very very good! The prices are very reasonable especially with what you get. We got a couple of tacos to share and a carnitas burrito ... all fantastic! This place isn't fancy or have great ambiance but the taste and quality of their food is probably much better than those higher priced Mexican food places. If we lived closer this would definitely be our go to place! Try it out.. you will be so happy you did! read more

Gotta love your local fish place. They've served up our weekly fish meal pretty consistently and deliciously for maybe eight years now. I don't know. Time goes by quick. read more

The restauarant has parking on the street or a little parking lot. I went on a weekend and there were spaces. I tried the fish taco. It was very good. They give lots of toppings and is quite flavorful. Staff was friendly. Just to note if you do want to pay by credit card there is a 3% charge. read more

Went here for the first time got a asada burrito and it was not good. The asada was pure fat. my first n last time trying this spot.

The fish burrito is where it's at. The fish tacos on a Tuesday or a little bit too breaded for me but it's a great deal in a pinch.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. The establishment is small with only a few tables inside, so it can get crowded -- especially during lunch hour. Service is fast though, and the ladies working at the cash register are friendly! My order included fish and asada tacos. The fish tacos were well dressed with all of the usual toppings, but the fish itself were borderline soggy and definitely could've been crispier. The asada tacos were generously filled with meat and pico. Although I wasn't too fond of the flavor of the asada. It tasted more smokey and grilled than anything else. The salsa verde they offered on the side was good. Generally speaking, the food is decent here and not bad for the price. I would definitely stick to what they are known for, the fish tacos! read more

This place is amazing. Their food is excellent as is their pricing. The service is always spot on, but I usually pick up as I live so close. The ambiance is the usual counter service with a few tables inside and out. I find their fish tacos that absolute best. read more

2 Words. Quality Control. I've been a long time fan of this taco chain but cannot recommend this location to anyone. It was our first time trying this location and it was terrible. You will be better off eating at the locations in Duarte and El Monte. I ordered 8 fish tacos and one shrimp ceviche for my family and we were disappointed in what we received. We asked the establishment to separate the fish for us because we were going to reheat them when we got home. They forgot to include the cream and salsa. They also used one subpar sized fish for one of the tacos (at the El Monte location they will include another fish in the taco if one of the fishes is too small). The amount of pico de gallo and vegetables they gave us for 8 tacos was only enough for 3 tacos... The shrimp ceviche did not taste fresh and the texture of the shrimps were soggy, chewy, and not plump. They also included 1 hot sauce packet. Stingy. This location is super stingy and cheap with what they give you. We will not be coming here again. read more

I've been coming to this location under various ownership with my son for 15 years. Hadn't been in a while, and was too lazy to drive out of SM last night (Monday 9/18 around 5-6PM). As someone who was fired (more than once) as a teen for having a bad attitude behind a register, I don't feel great about this review. The girl behind the register. GEEZ. She had so much loathing inside of her that I actually felt she hated us. Maybe she was having a bad day, or maybe the white middle class clientele of SM is killing her soul--I get it. BUT now that I'm a grown up, I also get that I don't want hate with my burritos. Maybe she'd be happier somewhere else. Anyway, I will drive out of SM next time. The beans have so much water in them they're the color (and flavor) of sand. I've had better burritos in Alabama. read more

Fish taco Tuesdays are now $1.25, but the fish pieces are pretty big and worth the quarter increase. This is our go-to for lunch with colleagues, but we still like to meet up when we are in town to grab some tacos. Good company, good food, and good times spent here sitting at the outdoor tables. I've always gotten 3 fish tacos and shrimp ceviche for over half a decade now. Fish is battered nicely, crunchy, and toppings are a fantastic complement. The only downside is this area is a total dead zone for my cell provider, T-mobile. read more

This is one of those delightful hole in the wall surprises. Don't expect much (or any) ambience. It is primarily for takeout, and the customer service is pretty utilitarian in that sense....but wow those fish tacos are fantastic! My Taco Tuesdays have been made a lot better with two for one pricing. Even as the secret continues to leak and the lines continue to grow, the quality has not gone down. The chicken and carne asada tacos are also pretty good, but the battered fish tacos are really where it's at! read more

The quality of the food at Tacos Ensenada is first-rate and eclipses its bare-bones decor (it *was* a KFC in another life). I suspect that many customers get the food to go, as we do, though. They excel in the fishy end of the menu, and if you're searching for mariscos you won't do better. read more

I was hosting dinner for 20 friends. I used the pricing on Tacos Ensenadas website to determine what food and in what quantities to order. I had each guest select their entree, then I walked over to Tacos Ensenada to place my order. The total price was 50% more than what I was expecting. When I inquired, I was told that Tacos Ensenadas does not update its web pricing. They offered NO concessions for their deceptive advertising and pricing practices. As I had 20 people waiting for food, I had no choice but to pay and become a victim to their scam and ripoff. BEWARE of their trickery...and, if this is how they operate...what's really in that beef or fish taco or what happens when food prep falls onto their dirty floor...betcha it end up in your taco. STAY AWAY! read more

Call this place for like two weeks trying to set up a big order in advance. Finally I just stopped in. Lucky for me there was someone who's English was good because I don't speak Spanish and the front counter people mostly did. I was getting a large order and I was ordering it in advance for a few days later. At first the girl rang me up wrong because she gave me dollar tacos but the day I was picking up was not dollar day. I kindly let her know that and so she charged me more. But I was adamant that each of the tacos be individually wrapped because of Covid protocols at our event. The tacos were ready on time for the day of the event. But I could not pick them up. The person that picked them up said they alerted them that they were not wrapped but the people had no idea what that they were talking about. So they brought the tacos to the event all in a large catering type tray. The quality of the tacos themselves were OK. I appreciate that they were able to do the event and the price was all right although it would've been better at the dollar taco cost. But I was very irritated that they were not wrapped as promised. read more

I came on my lunch break as it was close to the job. I ordered a combo #1, which comes with a small drink. Total was under 12 dollars. It was a very small scoop of rice and beans. Rice lacked flavor. The tacos looked like traditional fish and shrimp tacos. The fish taco was soggy, especially in the middle, not great! The shrimp taco was a little crisper. They have a little bar area to grab lemons, but no salsa bar. Overall it was ok. Nothing great. Would try it again, while being hopeful read more
