    Puglife! Dog friendly.

    Loved this spot while visiting Puerto Nuevo. Great beer and food. Got the tacos to go and they didn't disappoint. Service was prompt and friendly. Fun crowd and dog friendly. Great vibes.

    This is, by far, the most amazing mole poblano that we have ever had. We went back on Thursday for lunch after trying it on Tuesday for dinner. My partner, who usually doesn't care for kombucha, had the gengibre (ginger) kombucha and liked it. Their salsa is sweeter and more tomato-y and less spicy than other places, which was a plus. The outdoor patio is really nice, with excellent sunset views. First visit, I had Peruvian ceviche (very tasty), while on the second visit, I opted for some sushi (amazing, amazing crab rolls) and a poke bowl. They were great with making the dishes the way we wanted (hold the rice). Service was fine on Tuesday, and outstanding today. Would definitely recommend.

    Unfortunately I'm not a seafood person and and I'm unable to drink at the moment so my review is purely based off of my experience. This place has nice open seating both indoor and outdoor, live music on weekends, and has a nice brewery like feel. The food is primarily seafood with a couple vegetarian options and meat options. I was lucky enough they had mole which was delicious. Great for a large group.

    Good food well made drinks. The tuna sashimi was fresh, the upstairs patio was warm and sunny. Would stop by again.

    Mezcalitas are so good and the surf and turf tacos are my go too. Great spot all day indoor and outdoor seating.

    Awesome spot walking distance from Las Gaviotas. We sat outside to enjoy the view and the night sky. There was also live music, a solo artist singing and playing his guitar. Live music, good food, strong margaritas what more can a girl ask for? My youngest ordered the fish bites off of the kids menu and it was enough for two kids, very generous. I had a delicious poke bowl. I don't remember what my husband or oldest daughter ordered but I do remember that they enjoyed their meals. Come here for good food, cold beer, yummy margaritas and a chill ambience. Definitely coming back.

    Very cute spot with good parking. Amazing micheladas. Food was good but the hand rolls weren't very flavorful. Agua Chile was super flavorful and the sushi rolls were yummy, great spot for big groups

    Person 1 Review: Honestly, very mid in terms of tacos and sushi. If you were to order something, get the tacos. Sushi was incredibly lacking in terms of flavor, it was essentially bland without any soy sauce. The crab wasn't great. Tacos could do with more salsa. They are a good size and filling, but again, were lacking. I had the shrimp tacos and they really would be elevated if there was more salsa or flavor. Shrimp itself was tasty. Person 2 Review: Tacos without the chile weren't that spicy. As someone who cannot handle spice it was pretty decent.

    The most incredible handrolls I've ever had!! Yellow tail, Bluefin, and real crab. I believe they source their fish locally every morning so makes sense. Had a frozen strawberry marg and they used real strawberries, no artificial stuff - YUM. My friend got Chef Giany's gourmet shrimp tacos and they were beyond delicious too. The space is beautiful and the people are super kind and friendly. I went in the middle of the week and it was calm and super enjoyable. I really don't think you can go wrong eating here, lots of great choices on the menu. I found myself wishing I had time to come back again and again!

    I just absolutely love this place. As a vegan, missing sushi has been a challenge. I really really miss it. Lol. This place gives me back my sushi. They have a few things on the menu; a vegan menu & all of it is worth it. The service is hit or miss, although he sure to ask for Sergio. He is the head bar manager & is always making sure that tables are taken care of. As long as your intention is to go there to relax & enjoy as the food & drinks come out, you are set. I went with several friends that ordered off the regular menu & WOW. It looked & they said it tasted amazing. They even use white ginger & have. Sriracha along with some other wonderful hot sauces. Portions are nice size, especially if you order the tacos. Omg it's even bigger than what I'm used too. Lol. They also have one of the best views in the area & a massive outdoor space for live music on the weekends. Love you guys! See you soon!

    Crab hand roll

    I want to start by saying that the ambiance here is so nice- we sat outside and there was live music, string lights and they lit some bonfires. Their staff is also lovely. I saw all of the great reviews and had such high hopes. I think if we were just coming for the vibe and drinks it would be 5 stars. We just had some really average food. We tried the bluefin poke bowl, a crab hand roll, and the Hawaiian burger. The poke bowl had no flavor to it at all, just super bland. The crab roll was really dry and also had no flavor. The burger was a little better but still just pretty average! We did enjoy our drinks- I tried a sour, the kombucha and my boyfriend had a light beer. No complaints in regards to drinks! Maybe we just ordered the wrong things? I'd still say it's worth dropping by for the drinks and ambiance.

    Super bland blackened yellowtail fish tacos
    Shane K.

    The service was very slow, close to an hour for us to get 2 plates of fish tacos. Not their fault it was busy, my complaint really is the how bland everything was. The spicy fish tacos were super bland and the blackened yellowtail was flavorless. The fish was way over cooked and dry. The pineapple they used was as bland as a potato. The prices are San Diego prices for MX which def threw us off. Normally when you're hungry everything tastes good, but we were disappointed at all the positive reviews. I'd def pass on this place.

There's so much seating, so it feels open and relaxed even when it's busy. It's one of those places where you immediately want to grab your phone and take a few photos. The food is still just as delicious as I remember, and the service is unmatched. Everyone is attentive without hovering and you feel really taken care of. Honestly, it's worth stopping in even if you just go for a drink and soak in the scenery. Great cocktails, stunning backdrop, and such a good overall vibe. I'll definitely keep coming back.

    I recently visited Encanto in Ensenada and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience…read more When the bill arrived, I noticed that one of my dishes was priced incorrectly. I politely pointed it out to our server, Daniel, expecting it to be corrected. Instead, he casually dismissed it and said, "It's only 100 pesos more," which I found unprofessional and disrespectful. It's not about the amount it's about accuracy and customer service. Because of this interaction, I decided to remove the $20 tip I had initially left. When I did, he took the receipt to his manager and claimed that I hadn't tipped at all. I explained the situation, but he responded with a smirk, which felt mocking and made the situation even more uncomfortable. Additionally, the service overall was slow. We asked for water multiple times before ordering, during the meal, and even after finishing and it still took a long time for it to arrive. Unfortunately, this experience left a very negative impression, despite the setting. I hope management takes this kind of behavior seriously and works on improving both service quality and professionalism.
