We found Victor's while walking around Ensenada. The service was great and the servers were friendly and attentive. We all enjoyed our food. The chocolate chip pancakes were beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. The kids chicken nugget portion was huge and my grandson loved it. The food was pretty much what you would expect in a Mexican restaurant in California. My flautas were served with rice and beans and tasted good. The mole sauce in the enmoladas (enchiladas made with mole) was delicious. The tamarind margarita was top notch. This is a great place to visit if you're looking for a quick meal. They have several breakfast items and steak as well.
My husband and I were on a cruise that stopped in Ensenada. We've walked past this restaurant so many times, and we finally decided to try it. I ordered the Chilaquiles with red sauce, and my husband ordered Huevos Rancheros. The server brought us some salsa and pancake syrup after we placed our order. I was wondering why he brought pancake syrup, since we didn't order any pancakes. Well, the restaurant provided two complimentary pancakes to each of us. The pancakes were really good. Unfortunately, I didn't care for my Chilaquiles at all. There was something in the sauce that I just didn't like. I would definitely not go back to this restaurant since there are so many other choices in Ensenada.
I really wished I spoke Spanish, because we could hardly understand our server. I might have said "yes" to the pancakes even though I didn't want them. I ordered the chilaquiles w/ verde sauce. I didn't want chicken, but eggs instead. Both eggs were cooked perfectly - oozing w/ rich yellowy goodness.. subtly blanketing the fried tortilla chips and the verde sauce tastefully. Yeah, she brought out pancakes that I did not touch, but they did look nice and fluffy). She also brought out freshly made tortillas that I used to dip in my verde sauce and the salsa cups that were on the table. Only thing though.. as she was clearing our plates, she put the salsa cups back onto the serving tray. So that made me wonder, "Did I just dipped my tortilla in someone else's germs?" We were there this past Sunday 6/19 and it's 4 days later so I doubt I will die as a result of sharing salsa, but still.. I will ask for a fresh one if I return. They accept cards which was a plus, but 2 meals cost us only $15. The place gets really busy so come early or be prepared to wait.
I was promised the best tacos I've ever had, by the horse drawn chariot guy who brought us here. Best tacos I've ever had! Let me not hold you in suspense, because they weren't. They weren't even close. I should mention to the uninitiated, that I'm from California, and well acquainted with good tacos. But let's not talk about me just yet. Let's talk about the others in the group. My youngest got the chocolate chip pancakes, and tore them up! Mind you, my youngest is uber picky! I don't know where he got it from, because his siblings are the exact opposite. Moving up, my daughter got the chilequiles, a family favorite. Her brothers favorite actually. They were too tangy for her taste, but I liked them. My son got the chile relleno, which coincidentally, is my wifes thing. He almost ate them all, but didn't. Father-in-law got the sopes, but said the meat wasn't flavored that good. From my experience, he usually nitpicks like this. My daughter got green chile, beef enchiladas. She didn't like the tang of the green chile as much as I did. I love that stuff! Now it's my turn. Lest you forget, I was promised the best tacos I've ever had. They weren't. For a person only acquainted with Taco Bell, they very well could have been. But I'm cultured and have been around the block. I was looking for street tacos (when in Mexico.....). I ate them, but I was disappointed. Victor's is a bit off the beaten path. In fact, had it not been for my chariot driver, we would have never made it that far. That could have been both a good and a bad thing, as far as I'm concerned.
Victor's https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/victors-ensenada?select=W2tkTcDP2n2n-z-knko1LQ has been around since 1942 and while it's in the tourist area the place gets packed with locals https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/victors-ensenada?select=Uh0jKkeWFtwAJuVEB_u7iA and it's a good size restaurant, Victor's https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/victors-ensenada?select=jy26LO13U2j0RX1QvBH0Lg is open for Breakfast & Lunch, while Breakfast seems to be their specialty https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/victors-ensenada?select=jZHziyfz3YljHzzjwMb63A they seem to be inconsistent on how they cook eggs as you'll see by photos below. All Egg based Breakfast dishes include 2 Free Pancakes https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/victors-ensenada?select=QCrSLbhWaatUeVN7v5U2SQ light and fluffy these were some excellent https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/victors-ensenada?select=MmMzPt-t8g9Ps6jvk1si5g Pancakes! *Descriptions per menu... https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/victors-ensenada?select=kPARh5ncDZ2zp--vycx2fg Chilaquiles con Pollo ($175) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/victors-ensenada?select=MoLi2Uk2KrfJvmJWV14Bmg Chilaquiles con Pollo/Chicken, 2 Huevos/Eggs y Frijoles/Beans. Chilaquiles https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/victors-ensenada?select=OkkHvDH6_b51quoJDWQBtw nicely done, still a bit crisp, plenty of salsa unfortunately no heat but where's the Pollo/Chicken? A few small shreds underneath the Chilaquiles, Huevos/Eggs https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/victors-ensenada?select=PA57GBdUmQ7vdkYXGV-yRQ Seriously? Frijoles/Beans https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/victors-ensenada?select=q0jWAglDFXqDV0XPXQJpWQ were good. Chilaquiles Toluquenos ($195) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/victors-ensenada?select=rViA626fikd5CIZo4ufHRA Chilaquiles con Chorizo, Tocino/Bacon, Salsa de tres/three Chilies, Queso Fresco y Cotija, 2 Huevos/Eggs, Arroz/Rice y Frijoles/Beans. Not a big deal but notice NO rice on the plate.... While the Chilaquiles https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/victors-ensenada?select=k8zhbzdjLRH-Z8a4-0Z1fw were very good, where's the Chorizo y Bacon? The bacon was chopped so small and was underneath the Chilaquiles, I didn't notice any Chorizo, so not getting the meat expected was a bit of a let down BUT flavor wise on the Chilaquiles was very good. Eggs/Huevos https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/victors-ensenada?select=vgbbIcEy-48XJalvQypHZg better than other plate, Frijoles/Beans https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/victors-ensenada?select=NwDccPIR266cMmJ2tDIiEQ were good. Overall the food was good tasting, off on a couple small details especially lacking the meat, maybe I expected more from a place that's been around 80+ Years! But still better than the majority of the Breakfast spots in town!

We come here whenever we are in town.Convenient location, right across from the Duty Free perfume store and Casa Del Sol Hotel. It's usually the freshly made to order Guacamole and chips to snack while we wait for our food. I had their Spinach and cheese omelette, without salsa , today.. well cooked, still soft in the middle. Do not miss the fluffy pancakes, you can ask to have them before or after your entree. Service was good . They refill our coffee often and cleared the dishes soon we were done . read more
I've been to a few breakfast places in the Valle de Guadalupe and they seemed to miss the mark when it came to pancakes. For that reason, I have not ordered pancakes when visiting the Ensenada area. However, a friend recommended Victor's a pancake was complementary at the end of the meal. I was so pleasantly surprised with the taste and texture of the pancake. It is one of the best I have tasted. We had the manchaca and chilaquiles, both were great. I don't have a picture of the pancake because we all enjoyed it... it went fast !! . I've been to Victor's twice and each time I have enjoyed the breakfast and especially the pancake! The service is great. They are very accommodating. it is a popular place among the locals. The ambience is family friendly establishment. I highly recommend Victor's! read more

It's like Blu Jam Cafe in Los Angeles, to-go place for breakfast which is fully packed and people are coming and coming and the food is to die for. There was like 40 min wait time, so we ordered bunch of food to go - sunny side eggs with hash browns and bacon, pancakes, shredded beef, fresh juices, toasts. Food arrived in 15 min, it was thoughtfully packaged which is a big deal when you order to go, but the most important part is everything was super delicious. Like every single piece, and there was a lot of food for two of us. It doesn't seem touristy, even though it's not far from the center, it's still a bit on the side of tourist crowds, so it looked like locals love this place, and you can't go wrong with that. Bottom line - great breakfast, maybe the best in Ensenada. read more

Stopped here on a Saturday at around 10:30 am and wait was only about 10 min. I had the Traditional Machaca. It came with eggs and beans. The beans were a little cold and lacked flavor but the rest was good. Coffee was good too compared to other places I tried locally. The hotcakes were the best part. I had them wait until I was done with my meal and they brought them out hot. Service was ok, there was a bit of time it seemed like they forgot about us but it wasn't a horrible amount of time. Seems like a place the locals eat at regularly and all tables were full. I can see it probably being extra busy on weekend mornings. Definitely worth a try. read more

An American-style breakfast restaurant near cruise ship terminal. Roughly a five minute walk. Food and service are great! My favorite dish is a ham and cheese omelet with avocado. It's not on the menu but they're happy to make it to-order. Two (homemade?) salsas are brought to the table -- a fresca and a blended... Neither are hot and both are delicious. However, for the omelet I described above, fresca is the clear winner. read more
