What a wonderful surprise! Mariscos El Velero de Ensenada is truly a hidden gem. It may be a small…read morerestaurant, but don't let its size fool you--the food is outstanding, and the service is excellent. Yesterday I had one of their seafood salads, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, the flavors were perfectly balanced, and you could tell it was made with care. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you're looking for authentic, fresh, and delicious seafood, this is definitely a place worth visiting. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from their menu!

This is one of those places that really needs your Yelp help. It is located in an eclectic…read moreneighborhood, a very rural area called Mira Loma, but on a well-known, main thoroughfare. Google Maps turns you into a dusty asphalt driveway where, in the front is one stucco building that might have been someone's house at one time, and in the back is one very worn, almost sleazy, one-story building where three tiny Mom & Pop businesses compete for space. There is nothing fancy to see here, with the exception of the tiny, covered patio at the entry and a claustrophobic ordering counter on the other side of a sliding glass door. The patio walls are lined with bamboo, a couple taxidermied blue marlin, and some seaside-themed, tropical decor. There are maybe 4 tables and a cluster of chairs. I imagine, in the heat of the summer, it gets pretty hot and uncomfortable in here. And yet, reading the food reviews will make your heart go pitter-patter. Their specialty is mariscos with a Baja spin. Ceviche, shrimp cocktails, fish soup, fish tacos and burritos, to name a few. They also have swordfish and salmon on their menu. We came for the fish tacos and were we in store for a surprise! The chunk of fried fish in each taco was as big as a huge chicken tender. Our tacos were filled with moist, great tasting white fish (not tilapia)! The tortillas, hence, had to be the larger size, not street taco sized. The batter was crispy and exceptional, with a light, herbal flavor. The finishing touch was a pile of toppings, including shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, finely chopped cucumber, and an insanely delicious white crema-mayo sauce. I think the unexpected cucumber added a unique, refreshing element to an already excellent taco. The only downfall was that the corn tortilla fell apart before I could get it into my mouth. Heh, I can live with that...just give me a fork. If you thought the price of 1 taco ($4.50) was too expensive, you are wrong. One taco here is the equivalent of two tacos elsewhere. That's a great deal! This is not fast food. The fish is cooked to order. Plan on a wait. Although this is essentially a covered, outdoor dining enclosure with a dutch door style gate, please note. Pets are not allowed. There is no pet-friendly section, nor shady areas to park in their bleak parking lot. The irony of this was the number of off-leash dogs we saw wandering around the parking lot. We saw three small to medium sized dogs, and no owner. We ended up bringing our food and personna-non-grata pup home. They did a nice job with the fish tacos, and one of their customers assured me the fried and/or grilled shrimp tacos and mojo de ajo shrimp were excellent. This means only one thing...we shall return, but without the chihuahua fur baby.

The food was amazing, my husband and I ordered the birria plate each (just meat). This time I can say the quantity was there. Although they only give you 3 tortillas with the plate. We did notice the tortillas are bigger in size. Bigger than before. The salsa hits as always so I would ask to try all three and the service was pleasant. One thing though I would like to mention is that they only refill your coffee once. I remember I would get atleast three while being there.

I had seen a tiktok about his place and wanted to give it a try. Its in my neighborhood, so it was quick to get to. We walked in and went straight to the back and ordered 2 menudos. We walked in at exactly 7:44am.....We waited, and waited, and waited for 20 minutes....our food didn't come out. So I stood up to ask...Lady said the food was done, they were just waiting for the handmade tortillas. People that know me, KNOW that I LOVE menudo...its my favorite dish. And this Menudo was good! The tortillas, were good as well. At about 8:25 some Carin Leon came on the speakers, and the song would play maybe less than halfways, to halfways, and it would restart...did this for about 10 minutes...it was annoying.
