Finally made is to Ensenada ATX! The Fish Taco is the best you can get in Austin!!! And the closest to the San Diego fish Tacos! We each ordered 2 and had to go back for a third! This for sure is going to be out to go to for tacos!! YUMMY!!! read more

Finally made it here by bike to try the fish tacos, and they were delicious!They are a little on the pricier side, but they are sizable. The service was pretty fast when I went for lunch on a Saturday. The owner was very nice, and shared a bit about her background from the SoCal area, which explains why these tacos are so tasty. I want to go back to try the shrimp tacos next. read more

Best fish tacos in town - hands down. Batter is crispy but fish is super soft inside! Corn tortillas with cabbage slaw and tomatoes and sauce on top of the fish - great flavors! Order at the front and they will call your name when it's ready - we got here Sunday for lunch and food came out so quickly! Plenty of outdoor seating since there are multiple trucks at this lot and a parking lot out front too. Get the limonada topo too - delicious! read more

Food truck located in a food truck park near work. Woman was very kind when taking our order. Did not wait long for our 3 orders She gave us to go ramekins and encouraged us to take many of her hot sauces. The food was flavored so perfectly we did not even use them. Tacos have the perfect amount of meat and topping ratio. The sauce she puts on them all have some heat. She also bakes fresh brownies daily. read more

I was lucky enough to check out Ensenada for the first time when they hosted a pop-up with Tozi Foods, and I was blown away by everything! The all female squad showed up and showed out! Everyone was so sweet and warm and welcoming! And when it came to the food, it was top notch. The Taco Dorado was amazing and it hit all the right marks. But the real winner to me was the oyster taco. I was skeptical of the taco because I'm not the biggest fan of oysters (they are hit or miss to me), but this taco made me a believer. The crunch from the batter, the spice from the sauce, and the freshness from the veggie made each bite absolutely spectacular! I think I officially like oysters now. Needless to say, this spot needs to be on your radar! read more

I recently had the pleasure of trying Ensenada ATX on Cinco De Mayo after a hankering for tacos. It was my first time I had ever heard of the spot and I am so happy I accidentally stumbled upon it while scrolling the map on Apple Maps! As a true Southern Californian, I am very passionate about the quality of a fish taco and Baja style Mexican food in general. These were FANTASTIC. I ordered one fish and one shrimp taco, both were dressed with their slaw and house made red salsa. The fish and shrimp were battered to perfection and were sooooo light and airy-- they melted in my mouth. The portions were generous and I was happy after the two tacos. The woman that greeted me, I believe the owner, was so so sweet and welcoming. The food came out so quickly and was beyond hot and fresh. I can't wait to come back with friends and family and show them my new favorite spot! Thank you Ensenada ATX for bringing me a little flavor from home read more

I was hungry and craving fish tacos while in the area so I decided to try Ensenada ATX. The staff was lovely and their daughter was selling her homemade treats right in front of the truck. I ordered the following: Fish taco con todo $7 Tostadas de ceviche $8 The fish taco con todo comes filled with cod, their secret batter recipe, cabbage, pico de gallo, and mayo sauce on corn tortilla. The ceviche comes with ensenada style fish ceviche with pico de gallo con todo mayo and avocado. Both items were excellent! I almost went back for another order of fish tacos, but refrained since I also ordered a brownie from their daughter's table. The brownie was moist and delightful. This was honestly one of my favorite meals during my stay in Austin! read more

Ensenada ATX - Fish tacos, ceviche, and brownie - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

I came to this spot last weekend as I was in the area. For those of you who don't habla Espanol, the namesake of this location 'ensenada' translates to "bay" in English. It can also refer to the following: an inlet, which is a small bay in the coastline of a sea or lake or a cove, or a small bay or inlet of the sea. Soooooo what should be served here? Tacos which are made from fish and/or things from the sea. When here, I ordered two menu items to include a shrimp taco and ceviche. I am personally a fan of wild-caught shrimp, such as the Key West Pink Shrimp from Florida's coast, as they add a healthful boost to any meal. These shrimp thrive on a natural diet of plankton, snails, and small fish, making them an excellent and nutritious choice for anyone looking to eat a bit healthier. In general, I enjoy just about every kind of taco, but any type of crispy seafood taco just holds a special place in my heart... and stomach! These crispy shrimp tacos were plump and accompanied by slaw and pico de gallo. The shrimp batter on this dish was bold enough to stand alone and required little salsa as illustrated by the accompanying photo for this review. The ceviche was fresh and was finished off with a bit of lime. Both menu items were perfection and would make a great summer or spring time meal. As a special treat, a contestant from master-chef junior who is the food truck owners granddaughter/daughter was selling her home made brownies in front of the truck. I was lucky enough to snag two decadent peppermint brownies. This truck offers not only tacos but three generations of homemade local goods made with love. #supportlocal read more

Holy Guacamole. This meal brought me back to SoCal and finally scratched that itch for baja-style fish tacos. The batter was crisp and tasty. The fish was delicate and cooked perfectly. The sauces on it complemented the fish without overpowering it. It was a unicorn. read more

Shrimp taco over fish taco ! A taco food truck focused on seafood tacos. I highly recommend the shrimp taco over the fish taco if you had to choose just one. Both delicious but the shrimp taco was just more crispier! The food truck is located in Arbor Food Park along with other good food trucks. There's a good amount of picnic tables for you to dine at. read more

I would have never known about this place other than my friend saying I have to try her homemade fish taco.... and her muse - Ensenada. So fish tacos are my jam. It's just, where do you find them? So of course I had to try this place out immediately. She was right - fish.tacos.on.point. The batter was crunchy, flavorful, not too thick. The fish was nice and meaty. Not fishy at all. The slaw was thinly shredded adding a nice cool crisp crunch contrast. The sauce just right and not overpowering. The tortilla was thin enough to not overpower texture but thick enough to play its job of holding strong. Alright Austin - the standard for fried tacos has now been set. read more

This place deserves more recognition! If you're at Cuantos, go two trucks down and at least try one of Ensenada's tacos. I just had the shrimp taco and had to add to be precious review. These are probably the most fresh & crispy shrimp tacos I've ever had, as well as the ceviche tostadas (only served on the weekends). There's something about Ensenada's that you want to savor versus Cuantos that you can scarf down in 2 bites. The woman that runs the truck is also extremely kind, which makes it even better. read more

A sunny orange food truck on a 72F day, hanging out with a mostly ACL crowd nourishing-up for the last day of the last weekend. But let's talk about these fish tacos, Ensenada, Baja California style. These are lightly battered and fried bits of white fish or shrimp, served with crisp strips of cabbage, pickled red onion and drizzled with a chipotle-infused mayo. Ensenada ATX has nailed the batter/fry combo resulting in light, crunchy and even pillowy morsels of flavor. I am not a fan of tostadas and chalupas because it isn't possible to eat them without making a mess. However, the ceviche tostadas here are delicious enough to justify the hassle. These are served with luscious slices of avocado and a lime segment. You can bring your own beer and couple it with this establishment's Michelada for your own Mexican Bloody Mary. Service was friendly and efficient. read more

I guess the fact that we ate at Ensenada ATX three meals in a row--dinner, lunch and dinner again--speaks for itself. The fish tacos are some of the best we've ever had. We also tried the shrimp gobernador--a shrimp taco in a hard shell with melted cheese and sauces--and it was divine as well. I only wished we lived in Austin. We would visit several times a week. read more

This was by far the best fish and shrimp taco i have had in Austin! The fish batter was delicious and the Ensenada mayo was a nice touch. Highly recommend the taco gobernador. The shrimp is grilled and the tortilla is lightly fried with melts Oaxaca cheese and the taste was excellent! Wow! The owner was also there taking orders and she couldn't be sweeter. A little pricey but well worth it! read more

Ceviche tostada was amazing !!! Every one there was so nice and helpful!! Even bought a walnut brownie that was to die for !!!! read more

the last time I was in the owners recommended I try this chili oil type salsa that are making from scratch. I can't recommend highly enough. I will be purchasing a bottle the next time i make it over there... It has a very unique warm, smokey flavor and probably has dozens of applications. It think they are bottling it now. read more

A friend told us these were the best fish tacos in the world, and that it was a family run food truck next two some others that we couldn't miss... and he was right. When a place makes 4 things and people keep coming back, you know it's good. The service and owners of this food truck are the sweetest and the fish taco of course is the star. The tortilla to the crisp of the fish, to the freshness of the cabbage... yum! The ceviche toastada was also a surprising hit, and was well balanced texturally, and in lightness, seasoning and just the right amount of acid. It was also swealtering when we went and the coolness of that toastada really hit the spot. read more

A little story here. Went to get some Cuantos Tacos but saw this new truck and decided to get a taco. WOW. The tacos are all seafood - something Austin doesn't have much of. I ordered the Shrimp Taco Con Todo - so light and fresh with a brush of heat. (Taco is larger) The workers are also so kind, sweet, and welcoming. Try this truck out - I know this won't be my last time! read more

I'm a fan of fried food, so I was thrilled to try the fish and shrimp tacos here. At $13 for two tacos, it's reasonably priced, and I was pleasantly surprised by how filling they were. The friendly owner and the convenient benches right next to the food truck added to the experience. You can find this gem in the back with other food trucks, and I definitely plan to return for more! read more

After having the best fish tacos in Ensenada last year, I was so happy to discover that someone brought these street style fried seafood tacos to Austin! They're located in the Arbor food park. Great little gravel lot makes it easy to stop by for a quick lunch! Of the 2 tacos ordered, I thought the cod was the best and closest to what I remembered from Ensenada.. light batter, healthy portion of fish and juicy / clean bites! The fried shrimp taco had 3 shrimp and chock full of cabbage, that mixed with mayo reminded me a bit of cole slaw. Great first visit and won't be my last! read more

Found this place after stumbling into a food truck lot. We surveyed the options and found this bright orange truck in the way back. The lot itself was cute with ample shade trees. First thing I loved about this spot is the owner's adorable cashier, her daughter. Not only did she take our order efficiently, she did so with the upmost poise. I was very impressed. She also almost sold me on her homemade brownies. I'm sure they were awesome based on my experience with the rest of the food. Next time! We split a ceviche with shrimp and a Baja fish taco (light meal, gf wasn't too hungry). Standout dish for us was the ceviche. It was so fresh!! It reminded us of the ceviche we recently enjoyed in Ensenada. Ripe avocado on top was perfect. The fish taco was fantastic as well, super light and crispy. I smashed it, with my only minor nit being it was a little heavy on the creamy sauce. Would I come again? Hell yes. The owner herself, also a very nice young lady, is from Ensenada, so you know the food is legit. Gracias! read more

Very good fish tacos, although not on the same level as you'd have in LA, SD or Mexico. Definitely best I could find so far in Austin.

Ensenada does NOT disappoint!! Huge portions and the most fresh, lightly fried fish and shrimp you can get in Austin. So so good!

Ensenada ATX - Fish taco - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

Really good! I was the first customer of the day at 11am and the owner was very welcoming. A steady stream of people immediately followed. The fish taco, shrimp taco and ceviche tostada plus shrimp (weekend special) were all tasty. Even with the fried filling, the tacos were light and didn't feel greasy. To me, the shrimp taco has a slight edge over the fish. The tacos have a small drizzling of hot sauce on top in addition to the pico de gallo and it was enough to get my nose running. I'd suggest ordering it on the side if you're sensitive to heat. There are a few picnic tables with umbrellas to dine at and some fans to keep things cool. I'll be back! read more

I have tried food from one end of the Country to around the world, the food here is FANTASTIC. Being that I've tasted real authentic Mexican food, I'm here to say this is by far is one of the best Fish Tacos and Shrimp cocktails in the city of Austin. My husband found this place after watching me try countless places to be disappointed. I'm loving he found this place!! The owner of this truck was named Liz, a lovely lady. They only have a shrimp cocktail on Saturday and Sunday, and once it sells out, it's gone. Order it with avocados. You'll be glad you did!! read more

So glad I stopped in on the weekend to this place! I'd heard about it on Eater and it's so close to my house. My partner and I ordered the fish tacos, shrimp tacos, and the weekend special tostada. I also snagged some salsa macha (it's a seca salsa, like a Mexican chili oil) that they had on hand to use in cooking later. The fish and shrimp were crisp and light with great flavor. The tostada was very balanced (add extra shrimp on top!) and paired great with the salsa verde and salsa macha. It's BYOB and they have FULLY decked out michaldas to go with your beers that are no joke. Fantastic, light seafood faire and a very welcome addition to eats on the East Side. read more

Far too many of my dining partners here in ATX are pescatarians, so I was glad to learn about Ensenada. Owned by a mother-daughter team from Ensenada in Baja California, they operate out of a truck on MLK that opend last month. The combination is simple: lightly battered fish and shrimp topped with cabbage, tomatoes, sour cream, some kind of a (habanero?) salsa, and layered on top of a white corn tortilla. Light, filling, and satisfying in the 103-degree Austin heat. Shrimp cocktails and ceviche tostadas are also available on the weekends. Prices ($6) are a bit higher than I'd like, but these tacos absolutely hit the spot in a town where fish and shrimp tacos, much less Baja-style ones, are rarely part of the menu. read more

Finally!!! These Ensenada seafood style tacos have been grossly underrepresented here in Austin. I have always referred to them as Baja style so if that's what is familiar to you, then you must come out and try them. Your will not be disappointed. :) I'm all about women minority owned establishments too so when I saw their fish tacos in my IG feed, I literally put it on my calendar to visit the same week. So glad I did! Nom nom. Looking forward to eating here with some friends. read more

I personally enjoyed the shrimp tacos more than the fish tacos! Shrimp cocktail was good though not cold enough imo. Would skip the ceviche (a bit salty for my taste). Service was fast (Sunday lunch time). A bit pricey but not too bad! read more

Located in one of my favorite food truck parks, Ensenada keeps me coming back for their ceviche tostadas. The fish is cut very finely, creating a texture that retains a lot of juiciness from the lime with each bite, and the flavors are bright and oh-so-refreshing; perfect for beating the heat on those sweltering summer days! I really enjoy their fried fish and shrimp tacos, too, which don't skimp on the protein and have a very satisfying crisp to them. read more

Love this food truck park! Ensenada is a good option to eat while there. Service was good. Ensenada had a delicious fish taco (cod) and I also got a shrimp taco. The breading, sauce, cabbage was all delicious but the shrimp did have a metallic taste as sometimes shrimp does when it has preservatives in it. Anyway, that definitely took away from the taste unfortunately. I'd recommend the fish taco though! Seems like they also have more menu items on the weekends. read more
