    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...

    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!!

    Be sure to ask how much everything costs before ordering. The guy standing outside who seats you…read moremay try to overcharge. He tried getting me to order me guacamole and chips, I asked how much, he said $14 USD, I declined yet he still tried to bring it to my table which I declined a second time. Payment is cash only (USD accepted). That said, the tacos were delicious. The meats were marinated so well and were addicting. The tortillas were handmade and had an excellent texture. Prices might not be the cheapest but it's worth it for a great meal.
