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.
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.
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!
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!
Coffee and food was amazing! Service was great! The waiters speak English Tortillas were freshly made which was the cherry on top for us especially after a couple of days of cruise food ! I ordered red chilaquiles with a side of beans So impressed by their plate presentation and taste! *order their guacamole and chips You will not regret it!
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
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?
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

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

Great place to have fresh tortillas, lady is making them right outside the restaurant. Staff ready to help and to make you comfortable, provide shade and you are protected from traffic. Food is good and price is as expected in that area. Toilets are very clean! I recommend it! 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

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
