    Came in as my friend recommended their Wednesday $2.99 fish tacos. The fish is really big, taco is double layered. I wish I had salsa with it! Pretty good, would come back again. Small parking lot. Lots of locals eating there. Free lemon, onions and peppers.

    Food: - mango ceviche: hit the spot! dish had great flavor and texture and a good balance of citrus; tostada chips added the perfect crunch to the dish - Fish taco: decent amount of fish in the taco and other toppings, fish had good crispy texture and a good balance of batter Other: - Parking lot is quite tight with few spots - Seating inside and outside

    Shrimp & fish taco

    Was a bit bummed that we ordered and paid for dessert and we didn't receive it. We did receive a refund. This is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5. The seafood tasted fresh. No fishy smell or taste at all. The mango shrimp Coctel was delicious. The shrimp with fish taco was so good. It was one large taco. The burritos are huge. Tasteful. We will come back. Their sauces are really good too. A lot of flavor.

    I've heard a lot about this place so I had pretty high expectations but I felt that the food lived up to the hype! The location was packed when we walked in so I had a good feeling already. The parking lot is pretty small but we were able to get a spot. The workers are all very friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. I got the combo with the two fish tacos and the plate was very filling. The tacos were super flavorful and went amazing with all the toppings they had. I also tried the shrimp taco which I'm not normally a big fan of shrimp but it was cooked well and I enjoyed it too. This place is great for a quick filling lunch!

    The service was amazing here, the owner was very involved and very accommodating. The Combo #3 was good, I really enjoyed the fish taco & was the best thing I ate here so far. The shrimp taco could've used more to it but other than that it was still good to me. Mango shrimp ceviche was bomb! My girl added ketchup to it but that was to her preference but even without it, I was still amazed on how good it was 9/10

    I've been to the El Segundo location before and thought the fish and shrimp tacos there were solid. Unfortunately, this Lawndale location didn't quite live up to that experience. The tacos here were overloaded with sauces, and the fish ended up being a bit mushy. I also didn't like the very yellow tortillas. It may have just been an off day since the reviews are great and the parking lot was packed, even during a late lunch hour. We also tried the Baja burrito. It was massive in size but pretty bland unless you added salsa. Since I can't eat spicy food, it ended up being a very large but somewhat flavorless burrito for me. The fried shrimp tacos were better than the grilled ones. I also noticed the person in front of me ordered a shrimp tostada and it looked really good, so that might be something I'll try if I decide to come back next time.

    I have been going here alot in 2025. This is my additional review for 2026. Took a break from work today to eat some fish tacos. Every Wednesday is $2.99 Fish Tacos. Arrived at this location at 11:30am. I believe this time slot is one of the best times slots of 2, to go to this location. The next time slot I advise is after 6pm. Parking is alot easier since it just opened up. 30 mins makes a difference. If I would of came at Noon, good luck finding parking! This place gets extremely busy on Wednesday due to the fish taco special. Order 3 Fish Tacos today and a Stingray Taco! As always, the fish tacos are immaculate. Today is the first time I tried a Sting Ray Taco, it was rather ocean gamie with a texture of a calamari octopus. Ill just stick to fish tacos next time. Delivery is very fast, I waited 2 minutes and my order was ready. There is an unlimited side bar of salted lemon chili peppers, onions and lemon. Kudos to that Sidebar for being gracious to customers. Not greedy at all. You also have the option to order many selections aside from Fish tacos, such as shrimp burrito, Shrimp cocktail, Ceviche and octopus. Great Selection! Over, hands down to the best Fish Tacos in the South Bay! I would come anytime. Tacos are good size too! Big thumbs up to the staff , they were nice and professional. Come check this place out if you are in the area. You will not be dissapointed. There is a reason this place gets packed! Good food with good prices.

    Grilled Mahi taco
    France Y.

    Friday around 12:30pm, place is packing! I didn't expect so much sauce and spice on my grilled mahi taco so next time I'd request for sauce on the side. The piece of Mahi was smaller than I'd like but I understand "shrink flation". :/ I believe if you speak Spanish you'd probably get friendly service. TV with news was available while eating indoors. There's also an outdoor sitting area.

    Ensenadas Burrito & Fish Taco
    Amir B.

    The burrito was absolutely humongous. At first I questioned why the burrito was damn near $20 but when I felt the sheer weight of a generous serving of Steak and Shrimp, I couldn't complain. The fish tacos were 10/10 and the burrito smacked. The vibe of the shop, while very small, is still very cool and the outside seating is nice. Additionally, we got our food very quickly so shoutout to their service fr!

    Al pastor taco
    Allan V.

    Relatively small spot, so make sure you line up to order on the far side of the restaurant (unlike me). It is a nice spot, workers were super friendly and helpful. Now onto the food. I came here on a recco from a nice lady who just cut my hair. Ordered 3 tacos, Al pastor, battered shrimp, and battered fish. I wanted to try pastor, Cuz that's what I usually do. I wanted the battered fish Cuz I heard that they're bomb here. For the shrimp, I had to ask which was better, and he replied with "battered" so fast, so obv I ordered that. The asked if I should order anything else, which is how I ended up w ceviche too. Pastor taco was really good, AND it came w a slice of pineapple, and I love when places do that. Then I tried the shrimp taco, and it was fiiire, which made me even more excited for the fish. AND THE FISH WAS FIRE TOO. The batter on them was super crispy! Ended on the ceviche which I really enjoyed. Light and refreshing. Jalapeños had some kick to them. Def going back on Tues for carne taco and/or Weds for fish taco deals.

    Simply the best Baja fish tacos around. Each time I'm left craving for more. They have taco Wednesdays for $3. Tacos are generously filled with crispy, fresh ingredients. Shrimp tacos are also delicious. Burritos are sizable, basically 2 or 3 tacos wrapped in a bigger tortilla. But the experience of tacos is simply more satisfying. Parking is a bit tough on a busy, awkward corner lot. Service is fast once you order inside. There are many tables inside and the vibe is laid back and casual.

    A whole mess of tacos
    Herman L.

    Parking here was a little bit of a challenge at the lunch hour, but it seemed to clear up pretty quick. It was packed when I arrived but by the time I finished, I was one of two parties still dining in. Order at the counter, grab your sides, and get a plate of sizable tacos with pretty good helpings of fish and shrimp. Everything tasted great and I probably overdid it going for 4 tacos. The beef was a nice change from the seafood and worked well with shrimp. Service is very friendly and I liked that there was even some outdoor seating. Would like to try some of their ceviche next time!

    Ceviche (imitation crab)
    Felix G.

    This place has been our go-to for fish tacos in the South Bay. Been coming here for years. Come early or it gets very busy during peak times. Parking lot is small, but if needed you can park down the street and walk. They have great deals on Wednesday for their fish tacos! It gets busy! Place itself is small and cozy, with indoor and out door seating. Staff is very friendly. Now for the food, I normally order three things, breaded fish tacos, breaded shrimp tacos and ceviche (whatever protein I'm craving or I just get the mix) Price is very fair, it's not those small fish tacos you get elsewhere. Large piece of fish and not overly battered or greasy on double tortilla. Plenty of veggies and sauce. It's a perfect balance. If you like shrimp, the portions are great as well. Most times, two tacos and an order of ceviche is perfect or if I'm especially hungry, I'll go for a third taco. Ceviche is fresh and on display. Pick whatever protein you prefer or if it's your first time, get the mixed! One of the best things about this place is the complimentary condiments bar. Lemons, onions and peppers are complimentary. I love the peppers, I feel bad that I eat so many while I'm there. If you're in the mood for fresh ceviche and delicious tacos, definitely try this place out!

    Ensenada’s Surf N Turf Grill Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Ensenada’s Surf N Turf Grill

    What type of fish is used for fish tacos?

    They have a couple different fish types and other options as specials depending on season, but normal is a mild white fish like tilapia or halibut. They also have mahi mahi always

    Do they have taco Tuesday specials?

    Yes they do as well as they have a Taco Wednesday special as well.

    Does anyone know when the Gardena location will open?

    It's open!

    When is fish taco day?

    Fish taco Wednesdays

    Do they take Apple pay?

    I believe because of the pandemic they are only talking cash only now... I do t remember then taking Apple Pay when they did take credit cards so I'm not 100% and I think that it would be a good idea if they did except Apple Pay.

    Where is the prices?

    At the resturant, listed clearly above the register... $-$$ not cheap but not to expensive… 

    Does anyone know if they use nuts in any of their food?

    No they don't use any nuts

    Is lard used for cooking?

    I don't know

    They change their name? only name or the owner is changed?

    They opened a location with that name last year in El Segundo. They changed the name here to match. I was told the ownership was going to be the same.

    What kind of fish do they use?

    That swim

    I'm from Dallas and I go there every time we visit. I love their tacos and especially the peppers. I know I can't match it exactly but does anyone know what is on the peppers? They are amazing!

    It's Lawry's seasoning what they put. Unless the worker lied to me 😉

    What's with the reference to Ensenada Surf N Turf Grill, 310 Grand Ave. #112, in El Segundo on the firm's site? Is that an old location or what? Google maps shows no restaurant, of any name, at either a W or E Grand location in ES.

    It supposedly is their new second location rebranded as Ensenada Surf and Turf. They aren't clear in their website that it is the second bigger location.

    Can you call in orders at this establishment and pick them up? Is the to go line the same long line that's out the door?

    I see people order inside and then take it to go. Haven't seen anyone come to pick up a phone-in order yet. BTW... If it's the fish tacos you like, don't do like I did once. Took an order of fish tacos home, about 10 to 15 mins away. By the time I…

First, just like most casual Mexican restaurants you are greeted with house made salsa and chips to snack on while you study the menus for your meal. The salsa is very fresh and the chips are not, thank goodness, over salted. It's a perfect starter! I enjoyed the meal option of four chicken flautas with rice, beans, and perfectly portioned guacamole and sour cream. You are able to make your own choice of meat stuffing, which I love, knowing that the flautas are freshly made. I chose to have chicken and found it to be perfectly fried, not overly seasoned, which some places do. I like that you can actually taste the chicken and not just spice. I also had the horchata to drink, and I loved it! The service is wonderful, with many families flocking to the restaurant for that homemade feel for dinner. The staff has always been kind enough to offer a refill of your drink/soda to go if you wish. Kindness from the staff is a real highlight of Raul's. The ambiance of being at home is a plus for me.

Their red salsa is really flavorful, however, and that amplifies the flavors. I definitely would come back if I were in the area, in order to try their tacos, burritos, and ceviches. I hear good things about their fish tacos! Overall, I'm glad that I stopped by when I was in the area.
