I highly recommend Criollo. We had the chilaquiles with chorizo and the burrito. Would definitely come back. Great ambience and they had excellent salsa choices.

Found this little gem via Yelp when we visited Ensenada. First off we loved the feel of Criollo. It really stood out against the urban backdrop of the city. The food was amazing and flavorful! Definitely at the top of the list of eateries we enjoyed while in Ensenada.

Modern layout

Really amazing, avant-garde taqueria representing the coming wave of modern Mexican cuisine. Everything we had was exceptional, especially the ceviche served on top of a fried potato taco. If you're a fan of salsas, they come in such variety and colors that they not only dazzles the palate but the eyes as well. If it's your first time, just ask for recommendations and get as large of a sampling as possible. The layout and ambience is low-key and perfect as a lazy afternoon lunch spot. The liquor licensing is pending so be sure to grab their other fabulous selection of non-alcoholic drinks.

Tacos with a twist. A beautiful medley of flavors! Highly recommend and will be back to enjoy the soothing outdoor patio...

El Chente - Three fish tacos and accompaniments

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!

While all the cruise ship passengers are getting their drink on at Papas & Beer (we started there)…read moresave your appetite and head a block away to La Comadre for some of the best tacos you'll ever have. It's not hard to find, but unlike so any other options, it's not loud or flashy. We weren't ushered in by some guy on the street promising "the best" of anything. It's small, but clean.. you order at the counter.. my wife and I were the only gringos in there, and we don't speak Spanish. We were quickly presented with a sample plate of all the meats available for their tacos. The wife and I each got a Birria taco and I also got a chicken taco with some of the best Mole sauce I've ever had. They had a table set up in back with all the fixings and salsas you could ask for and the tacos came with beans and rice. We grabbed a bottle of water from the cooler, and the whole meal came to $13 with a tip!!! I mean, that's an unbelievable value for your money. The tacos were incredible. The beans and rice were delicious and the corn tortillas were homemade and some of the best we've ever had. The wife and I often use Yelp! to find places exactly like this, and once again, it did not disappoint. If you're in Ensenada do yourself a favor and skip all the hype spots and go find this place for some amazing food at incredible prices!!

Visited here for my 30th birthday, and hands down was the best tacos I've ever had! I love the…read moreenvironment, the friendly staff, and overall just good vibes!
