Located conveniently in the corner of when you enter the popular tourist street in the city center. This place was excellent. The margaritas were SO good and the pescado (fish) tacos I got were amazing. They also put double fish in per taco compared to most other places so they were pretty filling. My wife also said her meal was one of the best lunches she's had in a while - I think it was the combinacion plate. People working there are friendly so the service was great as well. Additionally, when we went it was a Sunday and there was a woman singing outdoor on the patio and she was great. Really good voice and people (locals) kept going up to her / saying hi which I thought was neat because it made Ensenada feel like a small town. Also worth noting, unlike the shops around us that charged us at unfavorable rates, our server (proactively) charged us in MXN Pesos which saved us a few bucks and was super appreciated. When we return to Ensenada, it's safe to say we will be back. read more

Tried this pla e for breakfast based on Yelp reviews and it did not disappoint. They ha e indoorand outdoorseating. We ate inside as it was a little chilly this morning. Inside is cute, like a little Cafe. My husband had an omelet that had carne en su jugo, chorizo and chicharron. He loved it especially that it comes with your choice of made to order corn or flour tortillas. I had a cup of their white menudo and it was so yummy. Reminded me of the way my aunt made hers. I also ordered a migas plate. Fried tortilla stripe mixed with scrambled eggs and tomato n onion served with rice and homemade potatoes. Everything was delicious and the service was outstanding! Will add this to our return places. read more

First off it was a beautiful day in Mexico. So of course sitting outside was key. The service wonderful and took good care of us. The food if you have never been to Mexico and had the fresh corn tortillas you are missing out the flavor you will Crave when you leave. I got the beef enchiladas omg so delicious so. Much flavor and such pretty plates. My husband got the trio with taco enchilada and burrito he liked all of them so much flavor.their salsa delicious also . Thank you for an excellent lunch . read more

Yum! If you're in the port area, this is the easiest brunch spot to walk to and it's delicious! I had the huevos divorciados, which was sooo good and my husband got the chiliquiles with chicken. We both agreed that the sauces were some of the best we've ever had! We will certainly be back! read more

It's all about the tortillas. This place has handmade corn and flour tortillas. The tortillas taste so good you cannot go wrong ordering flour or corn tortillas. The chips and salsa are good. The salsa has a kick to it, but not too bad. Their coffee is ok (tastes like cheap nestle). The frappe mocha is ok (VERY sweet). The rice and beans were cooked well and tasted good. The enchiladas were a disappointment. The cheese inside was not melted, and the sauce was meh. Come here for the tortillas. You won't be disappointed. Other items are ok. read more

El Mesón is a cozy and lovely restaurant with a very warm atmosphere. The waitress was extremely friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. The food was delicious, and you can really taste the care in every dish. The handmade tortillas were amazing and a big highlight for me. This is the first time I mention restrooms in a review, but I have to say it because I am very picky about that. El Mesón has the cleanest bathroom I have ever seen in Ensenada. That alone says a lot about how well they care for their place. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Looking for some food before heading back to our cruise and the lady making tortillas up front caught our eye. The smell was to die for and it was packed so we decided to eat here. It was a pleasant atmosphere and there was live music which made it even better. We were given little corn cakes, they were so good. We both got the chilaquiles with red sauce, one had beef. The sauce was so flavorful! This was an amazingly delicious meal. Service was relatively quick and nice. Every bite was to die for, I wish I could dine here all time, too bad it's not in the same country. Try it, you'll like it! read more

Everything we ate was absolutely delicious! This was by far the best meal we had in Ensenada. We shared a molcajete de carnes, which was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The meat was so tender, and we especially loved the chorizo and arrachera. The frijoles were tasty, and the melted cheese in the molcajete was incredible -- so flavorful with a perfect cheese pull! We were told that both the corn and flour tortillas were handmade, and you could definitely taste the difference -- they were fantastic. The service was excellent, and we enjoyed sitting outside with live music that added to the great ambiance. We'll definitely be coming back here next time we're in Ensenada for another amazing dinner! read more

While on a cruise to Ensenada, my husband and I decided to look for a new restaurant for breakfast. On a prior trip, we walked past El Meson de Don Fernando. There was a lady making homemade flour tortillas outside, which caught my eye. So, we recently tried out this restaurant. I ordered huevos divorciados and coffee. My husband ordered eggs with ham and fresh-squeezed orange juice, which was delicious. Both of our meals were great! They gave us little corn muffins with jam before our food arrived. The flour tortillas were great. We really enjoyed our breakfast and will definitely go back! read more

We went to brunch here on a Sunday and it was delicious! Everyone in our party was pleased, David was our server. White Menudo- the husband was in heaven. It was a generous portion with fixing on the side. Beef Machaca with scrambled eggs- this was amazing! Crispy beef, excellent flavors. Side of delicious beans and potatoes. The flour tortillas were made fresh and were fantastic. Huevos Rancheros a friend said we're very good as well. She got pancakes on the side and said they were cooked to perfection and a little sweet. We had a bloody mary and bloody maria that were also very good. If you have a chance get a table outside, the atomosphere was nice with live music. Overall we might make this our stop when next time we're in Ensenada. read more

We found this really cute restaurant on our walk through Ensenada coming from our Carnival cruise. There happened to be a parade in the street outside, we we sat under the covered patio area outside and watched the parade. We had wonderful service and delicious fish tacos. We ordered guacamole and chips as well. The guacamole was freshly made and the fish was from the local fish market. The restrooms here are very clean and nice. I highly recommend for cruisers looking for a nice place to eat with great service and delicious food and prices were reasonable as well. Five stars read more

I honestly don't recommend it!!! Pancakes had too much cinnamon, chilaquiles were sour (not using the correct amount of green tomatoes), they decorate food over plates when they should be paying attention to flavor!! Cafe de holla was not a a real cafe de holla, when you know? You know... The price is ok, and the location is great! Need to improve in flavor!!! I was disappointed, what happened to real authentic Mexican chilaquiles? read more

Decent place to take a load off, have some drinks, and watch some matches. Hoofed it all over town trying to find an ATM, finally gave up (until the next morning) and decided to park ourselves here and drink. Loved the sidewalk seating, great chips and salsa, and tasty beverages. Needless to say, we stayed here longer than we though we would, but enjoyed every minute of it. The footie matches were gooooool-tastic Service was great and the restrooms were beyond clean. Like impressively clean! read more

The restrooms are clean. Also this is a kids friendly restaurant our kids got some crayons and paper to be entertained! We will definitely come back! Thank you! read more

Can go wrong when you have corn and flour tortillas being made fresh, by hand in front of you. Clean, attentive, delicious, great service and reasonable prices. We shared the Popurrí Mexicano for brunch. Highly recommend it. Will visit again! read more

I wanted to try this place because I saw the sign of a molcajete plate with different meats it looked delicious in the picture so decided to go for it. The place is really clean and the service was great our server was very attentive, friendly and served us in a timely manner but the food wasn't that great. I order the molcajete plate with the meats which had chicken and beef, cheese and nopales with peppers. Honestly my carne asada was somewhat salty, the chicken was dry not juicy. The beans and guacamole were good no complaints. I also tried one fish taco and it was good. My michelada was ok maybe needed a little salt the one that the carne asada had lol but I had a great experience at this restaurant. Bathrooms were super clean so that makes this place even great because you can tell they are constantly checking it. read more

Avoid this place! We planned on coming over here for dinner because we saw this place driving by the day before and we thought it was pretty. The worst mistake ever!!! We were standing by the podium looking at the menu on the sidewalk wondering if is a self seating restaurant or you have to wait for a hostess. No one ever came out and ask, the restaurant wasn't even busy. We decided to grab a sit inside since there was a lady at the entrance and servers around but nobody acknowledge us. It's like the 5 of us were invisible. We grabbed a table and waited and that's literally it, no menus, no drinks offered no one ever came to the table we even tried to make eye contact with the 3 people that we saw working there and after 20 minutes we decided to leave, we told the lady begind the counter what happened but she just didn't care, no apologise no nothing. read more

Came here with two of the homies, after a long night of partying ,looking for hangover cure and found it. For about 150 pesos a bowl, we each chowed down some super delicious menudo and handmade corn and flower tortillas. Didnt try much else but I'd definitely recommend this spot for the soup. read more

Amazing breakfast got to sit outside. The weather was great and the service was even better. Portions are great for the price.

This was the worse place we ate in Ensenada, i ordered a steak but got a rubber sandals for steak. The meat smelled and tasted like nothing. The chef instead of fixing the problem claimed there was nothing wrong with it and sent it back. I left the steak. Horrible cook the so called chef of cheap Mexican food. You are better off buying Mexican food at the corner stand, better taste for sure. Great service personnel but horrible kitchen and disastrous chef. Eat somewhere else. read more
