It was a simple meal, but super delicious. My husband and I are not fluent Spanish speakers by any means, but we were able to order without an issue. The menu is a little hard to read/understand if you don't speak spanish but I just looked things up on my phone before ordering. Our tour guide recommended we stop in here, so I don't have any other local eateries to compare it to, but we had a delicious meal here and would recommend if you are a birria fan.

I feel silly getting so excited about beans. They were incredibly good. I wish I could recreate them. The marrow on Tortillas with a little salt and lime are so good. The queso was creamy and flavorful. I would have skipped the chorizo, I liked the cheese all by itself. The steak was perfectly cooked, great flavor. My daughter and I agree that is one of the best meals we've ever had.

The beef birria tacos come with so many accompaniments -- a full bowl of chopped onions, fresh cilantro, limes, and radishes. The amount of meat and tortillas was generous and we had trouble finishing it all. The consomme was SO delcious. Service was friendly and fast. Our server didn't speak much English so be ready to use google translate if you don't know much Spanish, but we had no issues communicating and ordering. There are restrooms available as well. They accept cash and card.

La Guadalajara specializes in birria, or Mexican stewed meats, and their food really hit the spot!…read moreSince they offered a variety of meats, ordering the tacos was a great way to sample a variety, and I got the Birria de Borrego (lamb) and the Birria de Chivo (goat), both of which were served in a corn tortilla along with chopped onions, cilantro, lime, radishes, a mild salsa of chopped tomatoes/onions/herbs, a spicy red salsa, and tortilla chips. Both of the meats were tender and delicious, though I slightly preferred the chivo (goat), which was meatier, leaner, and more flavorful. I also especially liked the mild salsa, which had a nice refreshing flavor, and the ability to customize the condiments on each taco. Everything was delicious and came at a good value, and the service was super friendly and attentive too!

BEST YELP FIND on my trip to Ensenada. Def worth the drive into the more residential area (about 10…read moreminutes from downtown Ensenada). It looked like there was some of a wait time, but it turned out they did have a table for 2 available. The wait time is mostly for large parties. If you do come with a large party they have seating in the back just note it will take awhile. By large I mean 11 people (2 parties of 11 people showed up when I was there). The food. So many yummy options I had a hard time picking. I ended up ordering the combination plate as it included a little bit of everything: your choice of either green or red chilaquiles, machaca (shredded beef not the dry one), egg, beans and some fries. I also ordered fresh orange juice as I can't say no to fresh juices. I ATE EVERYTHING! It was so good I couldn't stop eating even when I knew I was full LOL. Side note def get the coffee as it is really good. We actually ended up buying the coffee they bought with us called La Negrita and is a couple of minutes away from the restaurant. Plus a local coffee vendor. Staff is super friendly and service is fast (for smaller parties). Place is clean and does have parking in the back. Definitely recommend this place for breakfast. If I am ever back in the area I am definitely coming back!

What a Gem, on a low key side street nestled into Ensenada's hustle and bustle is Madre. The…read morerestaurant is an old house that's been perfectly converted into an indoor-outdoor oasis that gives a relaxed but upscale vibe. It gets better, Chef Miguel is crushing it with his take on Baja Med - with handmade pastas and some of the freshest fish you'll find. We started with clean simple cocktails done perfectly and had the black scallop ceviche and the yellowtail sashimi - both super fresh and wonderful starters!! For entrees we had the fish of the day - done to perfection and the black ink seafood pasta - the hand rolled pasta and abundance of shrimp, clams and squid was appreciated...both dishes were amazing but the seafood pasta was a standout in my opinion. Plenty of options in the Ensenada area for seafood but what makes the dishes special to me is the light touch - the sauces let the seafood shine with just the right amount of sublime flavors added...really dig it. I would strongly recommend to anyone in Ensenada or even the Valle to visit Madre, you won't be disappointed. One final note, our server Priscilla was awesome as well, just the right blend of casual and upscale - with real, authentic guidance on questions about each dish, she's an absolute joya. It's a bit of a drive for us from La Mision but I see us making the trek many times to visit Madre in the future - it is that especial.

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!!
