Like everyone else....was part of an excursion tour from a cruise ship. We live in California, and…read moreI'm not going to say I am an aficionado of Mexican food. But I will say I've had my fair share of tacos. That being said, these were the best tacos I've ever had, and my wife and two teenage boys agree. We all had a sampler of tacos and all of them were hands down amazing!!!! Tortillas from scratch, and they hit just right with flavor and texture. Service was great, fast and efficient. We never felt rushed, and the fresh ocean air just added to the fantastic sunny day. When, not if we return I am heading straight to Lidia's for some delicious tacos, and an ice cold Tecate.

These were perhaps some of the best tacos I've ever had! Everything was fresh and so tasty. If I'm ever back in the area I'll visit again! Clean, brightly lit, open kitchen, lots of seating options. Great spot!

What an absolute nightmare!! We stopped to eat here while in Ensenada because the grilled clams…read moresent us there LOL. That's what really had us going to eat there. They looked so good cooking on the grill you just can't help but stop and get one. The clams were cooking down where the market is and you make your way up the stairs to an open air style restaurant kinda rooftop style with very nice scenery.. I'll give it that. The oceanic scene was absolutely stunning! Now when it came to the service.. that was horrible!! We told him ahead of time we don't have much time because we need to get back onto the bus to our boat. We didn't want to get left behind and they assured us that the food would come out on time.. if they knew the food wasn't going to come out on time then they should've just told us like hey u won't have time for us to make that and that dish takes a while to make.. just communicate with us and let us know. So we get to ordering and he all scrambled and skipped my pregnant sister a couple times after she said she was ready to order. We started off with the grilled clams cus those was already ready and it was $10 each. It was delicious. We had to pay the man upfront separately for that. My bf gets one fish taco and one shrimp. I got a dozen raw oysters, and some tropical ceviche. My son got a grilled octopus plate. Everybody else that was with our group ordered something already and we waiting on the food and they taking hella long. They didn't bring shit out on time. Some ppl got food and others still waited. We killed the oysters quickly.. those were a good size and tasted fresh. The tropical ceviche tostada was good, I liked the mangos in it. Time was running out and we told dude to cancel our orders that didn't come out yet but he insisted they were coming out and is getting wrapped up and bagged up.. liar!! Had the total of $405 which we knew was BS!! We didn't have time to calculate and he insisted everything was bagged up and tried to say the tacos were on the house. WhAt a liar!!!! We didn't have time to check. Damn near ran to the bus so they didn't leave us. Come to find out, they did NOT pack everything. My brother n his gf was missing his shrimp skewers. The octopus plates was bs. Cabbage mix was undesirable. Octopus was tough. The tacos were the worse!! The shrimp one was all breading and inside was a tiny tiny shriveled up shrimp. All of the tacos didn't come with any toppings nor sauce. Just tortillas and a bunch of breading on the fish and shrimp. Food was ass and over charged us on the total and shitty service!! Would not come back if I visited Ensenada again. Would probably just buy the grilled clams that's about it.

So I have been to La Bufadora hundreds of times as a kid and young adult but I don't come as often…read moreanymore. I was on a cruise with some family members and usually find a place to eat in Ensenada. On this occasion we brought someone that had never been here and we really enjoyed our trip; none better than coming to Blanquita. We ordered two orders of the famous clams. Each order is two clams [for those who have had too many cervezas, that's a total of 4 large clams for the four of us]. Each order [2 clams] is $180 pesos or about $10 dollars. These are some of the best clams I have ever had, barring maybe New Orleans. Even my daughter, who was reluctant, loved it. We also had some fish and shrimp tacos and everyone was happy with everything we tasted. The tacos were $50 pesos which is a little over $2.50 in dollars. NOT cheap but considering the location, very reasonable. There are a bunch of men out there trying to get you seated. Once they seat you, you are theirs. In other words, they are going to serve you and they get commissions and tips. Our guy was good, Tony Montana [no cocaine jokes please] and he was pretty good. I will say, I understand the culture here and they are selling, selling, selling. The restaurant did charge us 80 pesos or more than $4 dollars for a soda, which is a crime but airports and other places do it all the time. And the views, well that has to account for something. But the beers were the same price so that was a great deal. Today's life lesson: More beer less soda!!! I wish I would have taken a picture of the menu prices.

We ordered agua fresca Jamaica "hibiscus water", right on flavor, not too sweet. Chips and salsa kept coming, very Delicious! The Fish tostada was fresh and Delicious. The order of tacos Gobernador were perfect, lots of shrimp and melted cheese. The shrimp al ajillo with octopus was full of flavor, minced garlic, butter and the kick of chile de arbol.The cocktail "Coctel"campechana was very well portioned with shrimp, octopus and topped with a fresh oyster on a shell. The entrees all came along with white rice, chopped jalapeno, refried beans and a crispy salad. They have a big variety of alcoholic drinks ie: Pina colada, Michelada "Cubana", any beer , it has a splash of Worcestershire sauce, salt, lemon juice, salsa maggi! Definitely would recommend this Restaurant , very Authentic Mexican Seafood! Reviewing from a true Mexican point of view! They also have very clean Bathrooms well stocked with hand soap, toilet paper. They only accept cash.

We didn't eat here. But it was I believe $50 in total for my son & I from what I can remember to pet animals. I wanted to play w/ one of the other animals but the guy said it would be too playful & big for my 2yr old toddler. So we went w/ the smallest cub. They made us sanitize our hands prior to going in. You're not able to take pics while outside of the cage. But once you go in you had a few minutes to record & take pics w/ the animals. The cub was playful w/ my son. Even bit him on the hand in one of my videos. Although I don't believe it was that hard since my son didn't cry. He just noticeably pulled his hand back. That didn't stop him from playing w/ them tho. Service from the workers were 3/5 stars. They seemed over it & didn't really care for it. When the cub bit my son, the guy just didn't even acknowledge it & pretty much played it off. He kept repeating himself which got a little annoying. Not to mention they kept pressuring us for tips. Well now that's off my bucket list, I don't think I'd be doing this again. Lol.

When we came in through the bottom where the little petting zoo thing is, they were very rude. I get it, they want people to pay 50/60 USD to play with the baby tigers. We passed it, and went upstairs where the real hospitality was at! They didn't disappoint! Food: 5/5! One of the best meals we had in Mexico! The chili was amazing, the tacos were to die for, and the shrimp with Marlin was omg FIRE!!!!! I've never tasted something like that in all my life. The food is just amazing in Mexico! Nothing like it for sure! Service:5/5 They treated Us like family, and that is so appreciated! They were soooo nice, fast, didn't feel rushed, and truly went out of their way to make sure we were happy! Lord, can intake this whole restaurant home with me?! Price: 5/5 The pricing was totally fair, and even cheap for seafood. We spent under 30.00 for something that easily would cost that much for one plate at home. Their lemonade was like a fish bowl, and totally taste different from what we are used to. The food, service, and view was worth every cent! All in all, I cannot wait to come back. I will definitely be stopping here again!
