Absolutely incredible. Everything was fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. The woman working the counter and fryer was so welcoming and clearly takes pride in what she does. The salsa bar was fully stocked, fresh, and kept perfectly chilled over ice , great attention to both quality and food safety. These were easily some of the best tacos I've ever had. I love that they let you build them exactly how you like. On top of that, the prices are very affordable and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant is clean and well-kept.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend stopping by and honestly, just go ahead and order like 10 tacos. I even went back for more! read more

Don't buy a groupon to this place! I showed up with a valid groupon and the lady at the register was pretty rude and dismissive, told me that I wouldn't be able to use it although she could not explain why. Groupon offered me credit, but I don't want to buy anything off groupon if something like this can happen again I really like the food here, you'd think that this restaurant signed up with groupon in order to gain customers, not to turn them away. I hate to say it, but I have no reason to return to this place after this negative experience and waste of time read more

Hands down one of my favorite fish taco spots in LA. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place really does have the feeling of a no frills, Baja California fish taco spot in the best possible way.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My wife and I have been coming here for years. It's a simple menu with a limited number of options, and I've pretty much only had the fish and potato tacos. Both are excellent and always cooked to order in the wok right in front of you. I'm partial to the fish, but the potato taco is also great if you're skipping meat. They have awesome cream and chipotle sauce, both of which I love adding to my tacos, along with the red cabbage and the fresh house salsa. The fresh made lemonade is also a favorite for us, and for one dollar (!?!) a cup, how can you skip it? The people here are kind and jovial. The service is always helpful and friendly. I heartily recommend a visit! read more

Can't believe I found this place near my friends condo! This place only has 3 things on the menu, fish tacos, shrimp tacos and lemonade! But I think they also have a vegetarian options. I mostly came here for the fish tacos. Me and my friend both famished after our hike up to the Griffith Observatory! We were worried they weren't open, we called around 7:30pm but no one picked up, so we figured we'd just pop over and take a chance. There were tons of free street parking on the side street! Just keep in mind if u go Wednesday night, all the recycling, garbage and compost bins are out. Got there at 8:10pm (they close at 9pm) We both ordered 2 fish and 1 shrimp tacos. They have tons of option in the salsa bar for you to dress your tacos like you like it! There are more options in salsa than what they have on their menu! lol. Their tacos are made to order so if you come at lunch or dinner time, I'm sure there's a wait! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside on a cool evening just before they were closing so as soon as we inhaled our tacos we had contemplated to get an encore but it was 8:35 and I could see the lady had her dishwashing gloves cleaning up the place so we didn't wanna keep her.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you crave fish tacos, you can't miss this place!!

Best Fish Taco In Ensenada - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Best meal of the day! i had 2 fish and 1 shrimp. Idk what's in the batter or if it's a combination of good crema with homemade salsa (you actually see the ingredients)... but I've never devoured 3 tacos so fast. The fish was fried immediately so nothing under a heat lamp. The tortillas were not just warm but also had a few char marks which is just beautiful. Lemonade was $1! The owner/manager was there and thanked us for coming, really chill guy. I haven't tried all the fish tacos but this is pretty much the best fish taco for me. Hope to be back on my next LA stop. read more

Great price + fresh hot fish tacos! I was craving some fish tacos and found this place on Yelp.

Probably the best fish tacos I've ever had! They melt in your mouth and all of the flavors of the salsa and other toppings meld together and have the best flavor! Super impressed! read more

This place is amazing and tasty. You order your tacos and they give you the protein and the tortilla. They have a salsa and cream bar on the side where you can add the amount of lettuce, cream sauce, or salsa that you want. It's a good experience. Parking can be a pain during rush hour as there is only street parking. Staff is nice and attentive read more

This place has a very simple menu, but everything is done really well. I ordered one of each, the fish, shrimp, and potato tacos, and they were all incredible. I could not pick one that I liked more than the other, but the potato with the chipotle sauce had this delicious smokey flavor. The food comes out quick, and the service is so nice and friendly.

Great fish tacos. Friendly service. Nicely laid out and clearly labeled salsas, cabbage, house made relish and crema sauces. I'll be back. This place definitely hit the spot. I like places that do 1 thing and do it well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only thing that would make this feel more authentic would be if it were by the ocean and they can't exactly fix that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This is a great place to go if you want Baja style tacos! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a bit of a hole in the wall, but those are honestly usually the places with the best food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You know it's good when they stick to one thing. The menu is very simple. They offer shrimp and fish tacos so I decided to try both! The batter is not too heavy and the fish and shrimp were very fresh. The food came out relatively quick and they have a salsa bar to fix up your tacos how you want them. Also tried a potato taquito which was really good. This place is definitely worth a try! read more

No nonsense fish or shrimp tacos for less than $5 and a drink for $1 with a full on open salsa bar. How amazing is that?! There was only one lady working, amazing. She's seriously holding down the fort by herself, one had on the register and one hand frying. Seating inside is plentiful but the ambiance resembles your typical hole in the wall vibe. I recommend sitting outside in their patio area, as it has some plants/trees that feel a bit nicer. There's limited free street parking nearby. read more

ok so this could be on me, and i admit i'm a bit of a dumbass in this situation but... i was helping a friend at the car repair right next door. she said lets get a taco, so we come in... to get a taco! there's a sign for 'papas tacos' and i thought it was like some daddy special. i always like trying new things so i order it. my friend does too. when bite in... there's potato. potato. and potato. and we're wondering what kind of taco this is. i think there was a VERY LITTLE BIT of fish nuggets on top. but we're biting wondering where is the bang in this bite. now- it was ok for what it was. just a very minor, unassuming snack. then enhanced as you add something from the salsa bar on the side. but still we're thinking this is a weird taco. and doesn't have the punch of the 'normal' kind of taco we're use to. and we're wondering why is there a special sign for this, what's the big deal about the papa special. only to later discover 'papa' means POTATO in spanish. this ain't your daddy's special gourmet taco. it's a POTATO TACO! not at all what we were expecting thinking this was some daddy head chef special. SO.... yes part of the less than thrilling experience here was, i ordered some thing not knowing what it was, for the thrill of trying... something new. and got an unexpected mouthful of mashed potato. but even as a potato taco it just tasted like potato and tbh unfortunately nothing particularly special. i would come back and try something different. bc i'm not really into potato tacos. maybe you are and then if you are come on down and let papa take care of you. me- i'd order something completely different tho! read more

I was excited to try a new fish taco spot in LA. And this place was not it! if you like your fish tacos uncooked and with no flavor come here! this spot made me have food poisoning. I don't recommend! And the worst part they didn't have lime for the tacos :( read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Best vibes, extraordinary service, unique tacos, great location, easy to park, live music sometimes![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love this place, I had business meetings, friends hangouts and solo dates and it's consistently great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Simple and very clean too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend it read more

Sorry no can do! I'm not going to tell you that this was the best fish tacos. Let's start with public safety. This place had all of the sides to make your tacos complete in bowls of melted ice water. Sides like Creama, salsa, and cabbage, uncovered in an open air setting that was unsettling. My order was to go and I would have preferred that the small containers I was given would have been pre-filled and placed in my bag to go. The seafood in the tacos were nothing compared to Mariscos that I love. read more

By no means do I want to state that this place is hackneyed, but at least to me, it doesn't seem to offer the level of taste that their name would suggest. Of course, it is a bit apocryphal to have such a name while being situated in Los Feliz. While it's not in Ensenada, and neither am I, the dubiousness isn't just in that part of the name, but in the "best" part as well. I admit that I have never been to Ensenada, so it could be possible that they were actually the best fish taco there, however it's an unsubstantiated claim without proper proof. Taste the food you say? Oh, I did and because I have nothing to compare it to from the place it claims to be from, then I would have to say that it is more than likely NOT the best fish taco in Ensenada. If you ever have to be at Griffith Park or Los Feliz, stop on by and see for yourself. Thanks for reading. Free Palestine! read more

This was a fun, tasty stop on the east side. The menu is pretty basic. You come here for the deep fried fish tacos just like you'd find on the streets of Baja, Mexico. There is just one person working this place, but the service is quick and efficient. The setting is pretty basic -- don't expect a romantic atmosphere. Think more of a hole in the wall with some outdoor tables and inside seating. I stopped by on a chillier day and stay inside by the window. The tacos came out fresh and crispy. These were also super cheap. I ordered 2 tacos and a sparkling water and the entire bill came out to just under $12. There is a salsa bar with a variety of options including some tasty creama to put on top. I absolutely love Mexican fish tacos traveling to both Ensenada and Tijuana. My favorite fish tacos are from Tijuana from the various street vendors where you will definitely not find a health certificate! But you know what, these tacos are the best I've ever had in my life and I've never gotten sick. Are these as good as the fish tacos South of the border? No! But it's a good alternative if you don't feel like driving and dealing with customs! read more

Delicious fried shrimp and fish tacos made to order, straight out of the fryer! Service was quick! The tacos were ready by the time I scooped up the salsas in the little takeout containers. read more

Always the best. No pun intended. My fav fish taco in la hands down. Their horchata is something special.

We ordered both fish and shrimp tacos. They were good, but nothing special. Probably won't be returning anytime soon.

Found this place on Yelp when we were in the area looking for something to grab for dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]To be honest from the outside it felt kinda sketch, I was a little worried about our car being parked out even if it was right outside and we were gonna be quick.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But we are so glad we gave the place a try! Menu was simple- fish or shrimp tacos. We got a few of both. They were bomb. Soo good!! Right away the hubby said we gotta get tacos from here again next time we're in the area. The guy behind the counter was super chatty but he was so nice and even gave us and my kids a free drink! So sweet of him! read more

Places needs an overhaul. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is hot and dingy and looks the same as it did almost 15 years ago when I first discovered it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Space needs to be reconfigured and modernized.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cons - took a long time to get our order as there were others in front of us and only one female cook - close to $40 for two people for "just OK" tacos (not worth it) - fish/shrimp tacos just OK Pros - good variety of sauces and fillings - drinks certainly cheap read more

Unfortunately, this is my third and final time to visit Best Fish Taco In Ensenada. With the rising prices we see everywhere, you would think that business owners make a little more effort to account for the raising their prices. Not only are the prices even more than expected for this type of fare, the quality didn't seem to change the slightest. I think the pictures of the Taquitos for $2.95 says it all. Not even going to compare but they are 3/4 the size of one at other Mexican restaurants. We arrived around 2 pm and all the ice that is supposed to keep everything chilled had turned to water. They ran out of chopped cabbage and didn't bother to replace it. With the competition becoming fierce, BFTIE should do more to drive business because they do not have the best fish tacos...Sorry. read more

Really wanted to like this place since it's a hole in the wall business but the quality of the food was just okay. Service was average, it seemed like the guy taking my order was not present when I was talking to him. However, this didn't affect my experience that much. What I do appreciate about this location is that they fry the fish to order so it is made fresh. However, the flavors and textures were not there. Each fish taco was $2.95 but mine had 2 small pieces of battered fish. The taco was mostly tortilla. The fish tasted bland and it started falling apart after the first bite which surprised me considering it was freshly made. The tortilla was also ripping apart. I personally don't think they're "Ensenada's best fish taco." Another plus to this location is that the have a self service station of salsas, crema and cabbage so can add however much you'd like. The 3 salsas they had seemed to all have the same base and taste, only difference was the spice level. I also did find it disappointing that they did not provide lemon/lime especially since it's a fish taco spot. read more

Best Fish Taco In Ensenada - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have to agree (for now), that the name speaks for itself. They have the best fish taco in the area, and I'm definitely going to be a regular here when in the area. They have fish, shrimp, potato tacos and carnitas taquitos. I tried all of them and my favorites were the fish and shrimp tacos. The batter is cooked perfectly to give you that crispiness to your bite. Both shrimp and fish were also good in quality. I wasn't too impressed with their other options, but hey, you're there for the fish tacos. The tacos come with literally just the tortilla and the main ingredient. They have a salsa bar for you to add your condiments as you like. The place itself is unassuming. They actually have a really good music playlist with chill music setting some good vibes. There's seating inside as well as a patio. Street parking was not hard to find a block away from the spot. Tip: Check in for a free agua Fresca! Lemonade was good, a bit too sweet though. read more

If you are a fan of authentic fish tacos. Here is your spot. Been going here for years now and never dissappint. Thank you guys!

Please, Please, Please go to this place. The restaurant's name does not lie. I crave these at all hours of the day now. So delicious! You choose your meat and you head over to the toppings rack and make each taco it's own specialty, culinary experience. Run don't walk! read more

Everything is delicious, try everything! I fill up on 2 fish and one taquito or a shrimp. I will never stop coming here, a hidden gem!

I am in love. I generally don't like these style tacos but OMG. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The batter, the salsa, and overall vibe makes it a great place to eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As much as I want to gate keep they deserve everyone's love. read more

These are the best fish tacos in Hollywood I can tell you that. The price is right and the fish is just delicious. The place is simple and the topping choices are fantastic.

I used to live and work nearby, and the Best Fish Taco in Ensenada (It actually was founded in Ensenada and the owner won a trophy! No false advertising here!) was always a place for me to grab a quick and cheap dinner on the way home. I recently came back here for the first time and a while, and while the prices have gone up, it's still dirt cheap compared to any other fish tacos in the area, with the same beer-battered flavor as always. What I really like is how the toppings are all up to you. They give you a piece of fish or some shrimp inside a tortilla and that's it. There's then a salad bar where you can put whatever cabbage and salsas you want on them yourself. It's so much easier than making a cashier write down a list of everything you want and don't want on it, and every taco establishment should be like this. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Indoor and outdoor seating with a slightly sleazy cabana vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Went in today, girl in the front with blonde hair seemed to care to be more on her phone than to attend us. Once off her phone, I asked her a question about the menu 3 times and she never bothered to look up and answer me.
