Adobada
Liz N.

The perfect stop after a long day. The tacos were fresh, flavorful, and just what we needed to recharge.

Menú

In my opinion, they have the best tacos in Ensenada. They're open late, and the service is always excellent. They have a variety of meat options, such as asada, lengua, al pastor, tripa, etc., and it has a unique concept. When ordering your tacos, you have to stand in line and choose which taco meat you want. Then pay at the register when you are finish getting all your food. They have a lot of seating. The vibe is great.

The captain of pastor!!!
Peter I.

On the inside road just off the main road leading into Ensenada, you will spot this place. Big sign and you will make a turn to come back. Seriously, you will and must! After parking (I've never had an issue) you see the Al Pastor mountain and really nothing else. It takes your breath away. Then you see the captain of pastor and he nods and you know like is good. I say dos no onion and he nods again. All the sauces and other items can be ordered from the counter. You pay, get a drink from the cooler and sit. The captain starts to walk to me and we both smile. It's like dating Al pastor....yes it's that good. Then.... sadly it's over until the next time. Hugs to the captain and drive off. Yes, it's that good.

Vampiro

I did not know about this place until my in laws brought us here. It was the first meal we had after arriving to Mexico earlier in the morning. It's located in El Sauzal, a suburb or little town in the outskirts of Ensenada. The place was packed and overwhelming at first. They have a line for each taco meat that you're trying to order. I'd you want Asada you have to get in one line, if you want al pastor it's another line. Fish and shrimp have their own line, and quesabirria is another line. Very overwhelming but damn we're these tacos something else. I loved this place so much that I came here twice during my trip. I'm even considered the Duke now! Haha. The first day I felt like I over ordered. The prices are so low it's easy to get carried away here. I ordered two shrimp tacos, two Al pastor tacos, and a Vampiro which is a toasts with carne asada, guacamole, beans and salsa all on top. I ate this one last, I was too full to actually enjoy it but it was still pretty good. The al pastor line was the longest. You had people ordering quesadillas and crap instead of just ordering tacos which made the wait longer. Well worth the wait though. The al pastor was perfectly cooked. Very tender with a hint of sweetness. They put cebolla y cilantro with a generous amount of salsa and fresh slices of avocado. Really good amazing flavor. The shrimp tacos were just as delicious. The shrimp was perfectly fried with a very light batter tasted fresh and topped with cabbage, pickled red onion, pico de Gallo and crema. On my second visit, I felt like a regular. Lol. I ordered two more Al pastor tacos and a fish taco. The fish taco was delicious. Not the best but pretty damn close. Just like the shrimp, the batter was light. It was crispy but perfectly cooked fish inside. I topped it off with red onion, pico de gallo, cabbage and chipotle cream. A very delicious fish taco. This place is a must visit next time I'm in the area. I'm glad my in laws introduced us to this place. Can't wait to come back!

Best Al pastor!

I love that it's an open air business. Very relaxed vibe. Plenty of tables and condiments. Beer, water and soda. Beer was cold and their Al pastor tacos were absolutely delicious.

Quesabirria

The food was exceptional. My whole family enjoyed the meal. The service was good and the overall vibe was chill. Recommended if your in the area

Was recommended this place so we decided to stop here on our trip to Ensenada. Not sure why, but depending on the desired meat, you need to ask a different cook for your order and you must also keep track of your food since they charge you after you eat. The shrimp was pretty good, and is what I would recommend above the other choices. The adobada and asada were kind of plain and not much flavor.

Adobada Mulita
Donathon C.

I know everyone gets real sensitive about their favorite food spots and will argue who has the best tacos, but if you think this place DOESN'T have the best tacos, YOU'RE WRONG! EVERY time we go to Ensenada or Valle de Guadalupe, we stop here for food. My favorite is the Mulita with Adobada. My wife always gets the carne asada tacos. If you're looking for a quick stop for food while in the area, look no further! THIS IS YOUR SPOT!

Everything is good. EVERYTHING! My favorite has to be the fish tacos. Every time we are in Ensenada we make sure to have lunch here

We've been coming for years and have never been disappointed. Delicious food and quick service. Al pastor!!!!!

Delicious tacos in Ensenada. We stop by for good eats on our way to Eréndira Baja for fishing. Fish, shrimp, cabeza, carne asada, lengua, trips...every taco I've tried is delicious! Highly recommended. Tacos range from 40-60 pesos each (roughly $2-$3).

Fish taco chef ... served food with a great attitude
Richie R.

I've been going to this place for the past four years. This place is never a disappointment. I always go eat everything but the most I eat is fish tacos and shrimp tacos, served hot and in right in front of you. Love this place and I have taken so many people to this place and everyone has enjoyed the food here. If you are in the Rosarito or Puerto Nuevo area drive that 30 minutes and it is all worth it. The quality is fresh and the taste is amazing and all this with great and fast service.

Ahead of our brief time in Ensanada, we made it point to create an itinerary that let us explore…read morephysically, but also through food and drink, so we made sure a local coffee shop and Birrieria we're on the list, and I am so glad that birrieria turned out to be this spot in Zona Centro of Ensanada! Authentic, in every sense of the word, is how to describe Birrieria La Guadalajara. From the food, drinks, service, atmosphere and overall experience from entry to exit. Even though we were sweating the whole time, some from the sauces and some from the heat, we absolutely loved it! Before you even get to ordering, they bring out an egg assortment of toppings including limes, radishes, onions, cilantro and a trio of dips along with fresh tortilla chips. Each table has a standing bowl of red sauce that is authentic and spicy! But it is perfection on any taco along with the other toppings. So, just do it! The menu is straightforward and features a variety of birria including the classic beef, pork, lamb, cabeza, goat and tongue. If birria isn't your thing, they also have steak in a few varieties. Once you decide on protein, you then choose how it's served. Regular tacos, Quesotaco, or as a plate. With these you get to choose from flour or corn tortillas. Each plate and/or taco comes with refried beans and guacamole. Most of us decided on the sampler method, getting a variety of meats and birria. I personally went with the beef, lamb and pork quesotacos all served in fresh flour tortillas. The tacos were phenomenal! I had been on vacation for close to 8 days by the time we ate here and these tacos were the best bite of my trip! Overall, an absolute must try when in Ensanada!

Everything! I didn't even get a picture of my food because I was starving! Definitely coming back…read morewhen I visit again!!!
