Absolutely loooove this place!! Not very often you find a spot where everyone enjoys the food!…read more10/10 recommend. They have so many options to choose from and everything we had was delicious! We legit can't wait to go back and get more food from here. This spot will definitely be one of our go to places when visiting Ensenada. They have some seating outside and inside, only thing for inside is that it is Smokey since they are cooking right there. That's how you know it's fresh!

We always come to Ensenada from our Royal Carribean cruise and have been wanting to try this spot…read morefor awhile. Yummy stuff, their fish tacos were delicious. We got beef asada and fried fish pescado. I believe it was only $2.50 per taco so not the cheapest but definitely by far the most affordable and yummy in the touristy area. It's a perfect walkable distance from the cruise port. You can pay USD cash and it shows on their payment terminal the conversion. I don't know how to double check if the conversion was 100% accurate but just from a little google go the current conversion and counting out how many tacos we ordered, everything seemed to check out!! They have tables for you to sit at inside but open facing so you're covered from the sun/rain. It comes with 3 different salsas, bowl of limes, and my favorite part is the grilled jalapeño and green onions - omg so good! I'll definitely be coming back if I'm in town. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the Asada just needed more flavor and not as cooked. I prefer a juicy medium Asada but I know that that's not how it's always eaten, just wish there was more flavor. Coming from Arizona I fortunately get to eat a lot of amazing Mexican food!

You have to be careful when choosing where to eat street tacos in Ensenada (and all of Mexico,…read moreobviously), but Tacos Castillo has never let us down or made us sick. This place absolutely lives up to the hype, and it's a great choice if you're looking to support a small family business and get some fresh and yummy fish tacos. The fish and shrimp tacos are the kind you think about after you've left Ensenada. They're always perfectly battered, crispy without being too greasy, and piled into warm corn tortillas that hold everything together. I highly recommend the traditional fish tacos, which are made with a delicate whitefish that the region is known for. The seafood tastes fresh, the toppings are simple and traditional (with pico de gallo and shredded cabbage), and once you hit it with their creamy green and spicy salsas and a generous squeeze of lime, it's the perfect taste of coastal Mexico. And don't forget to add that cold bottle of Mexican Coke (there's nothing as refreshing on a hot Ensenada afternoon). This is a little taco truck / stand, so be prepared to get in a long line with local workers. There's a very small picnic table for eating, but most folks grab and go. The hygeine practices seem adequate by Mexican standards, but you may want to bring your own hand sanitizer to tidy up before eating. They fry up your seafood to order, and it's so fun to watch! Since this is a very local spot that caters to folks who live and work in town, this isn't located in the main tourist drag. Be prepared to walk to get there but it's worth every step. No frills, no overthinking it, just really good tacos done right. This is the kind of spot where you eat standing up, immediately want another round, and start wondering how soon you can come back. It's cheap (bring pesos for the best deal) and they don't speak English, so break out that high school Spanish when ordering. This is as authentic as it gets.

Shrimp tacos and fish tacos. Incredibly good !! Just the best seafood tacos I have ever tried ! Freshly cooked and places straight from the grill into your plate.

La Guadalajara specializes in birria, or Mexican stewed meats, and their food really hit the spot!…read moreSince they offered a variety of meats, ordering the tacos was a great way to sample a variety, and I got the Birria de Borrego (lamb) and the Birria de Chivo (goat), both of which were served in a corn tortilla along with chopped onions, cilantro, lime, radishes, a mild salsa of chopped tomatoes/onions/herbs, a spicy red salsa, and tortilla chips. Both of the meats were tender and delicious, though I slightly preferred the chivo (goat), which was meatier, leaner, and more flavorful. I also especially liked the mild salsa, which had a nice refreshing flavor, and the ability to customize the condiments on each taco. Everything was delicious and came at a good value, and the service was super friendly and attentive too!

I was told this was the place for restaurant by a local-of course I had to try it. This place is fire. Like the roof is on fire, kind of fire. I'm dating myself aren't I? Ha. Located on a corner, The Parian, is a locals restaurant. You walk into a fiesta of a restaurant. Brightly decorated with typical Mexican decoration-think bright pinks, yellows and greens. There's colorful paper cut outs (papel picado)strewn across the ceiling, windows everywhere and colorful walls. I've been here twice & both times it was busy but not overwhelming. Walked in both times without having to wait for a seat to open up. The menu is typical of what you would see in a Mexican restaurant--and no, avocado toast ain't on the menu. Menudo, chilaquiles, hot cakes, machaca con huevo. These heavy & oh so delicious meals are all here. The tortilla (flour and corn) are both made in house. The salsa and chips they set when you first arrive are authentic. This is the kind of food that'll make you want to take nap after, it's so heavy. Only downside is they don't have cafe de olla. But that's not a bad thing, there's an amazing coffee shop down the street from the restaurant (Xcaanda) :) Definitely a gem in Ensenada & one that I will continue to visit.
