    Amazing place to stop by if you are nearby! Our group had a day trip from the ports here and this was within walking distance. I had a huge craving for oysters and I just couldn't resist the variety of seafood they have here! The oysters were so fresh and barely needed any sauce and rather just a bit of lime. Im not sure what sauce they use but it was quite good as well! We also ordered the half order of ceviche which we thought the portion was huge! They do not skimp out on the seafood pieces and avocado! The limonada was so refreshing with the soda water! And of course cant skip out on the tequila here!! Service was so friendly! They brought out chips and salsa to start off with- along with the tuna dip which I loved!

    Tropical ceviche

    Recommended by Yelp, and it definitely lived up to the hype! The fried oysters and smoked oysters were both delicious, but my favorite was the Tropical Ceviche with mango, tuna, and shrimp. We also tried three different tacos, and every one was fresh and full of flavor. The sangria came in a huge cup and was strong--in the best way. Great food, great drinks, and definitely a spot I'll come back to whenever I'm in Ensenada.

    The staff here is very nice and accommodating they were so helpful especially since we were just visiting from a stop off of our cruise ship, the food was tasty and fresh and my son loved the bean n cheese burrito which was not on the menu but made it up for us anyway. He said it was the best he's ever had all the ingredients were fresh and made from scratch you could taste the difference. Definitely recommend coming if u come through Ensenada. We will be back!! There was also plenty of seating and the ambiance was relaxed they also had a clean bathroom.

    My buddies and I had a great experience at La Cevicheria in Valle de Guadalupe. The food was top notch, service was friendly, and the restaurant was clean. The Pate de Atún was good! Fish was fresh and sauce was smokey and smooth. Crackers were a great touch to Atún. Agua Chiles de Camaran were on another level. Perfectly spicy, and super fresh shrimp. Large portion and plenty of tostadas to share. Black sauce was my favorite and can't wait to get again. Bien hecho!!

    Ordered Ceviche Chiltepin (1/2 serving) Lemonade Lemonade was served in a mason jar with a side of lime ends, which you can use to add more flavor to the lemonade. It was a sweet lemonade and with the additional option of adding lime (i squeezed 5 ends), it made it different and more pleasant. The Ceviche was large for a single order. A full order would be best with two people. It is served with 4 house made sauces and 4 bottles of sauce. Be warned, 2 of the house sauces I was given had habaneros and one of the bottles has Habaneros. The houses sauces are (scores out of 5): A sweet mango with habanero kick (4) Mild generic salsa (3) Green chili with smokey flavor (4) Garlic spicy oil, akin to asian chili sauce (4) All in all, sauce a 4/5 Service was good High Tables inside, sitting tables outside, clean The server did not know where the oysters were from (I find this a negative) The did have a number of oysters on ice at the bar, but I did not notice anyone ordering them. Most people were ordering tacos. Lastly there was a 4-man mariachi band playing. They were playing without any amplifiers or speakers, and from where I sat the music was not too loud. They switched crews, where some of the 1st group remained but played different instruments. I was told that they move around the area and have different men play. (4) Finding the location from word of mouth: The shop has a street front on a corner of the side street... This is NOT the actual restaurant! The restaurant is between the buildings from that signage! Find the sign, check the hours. If closed, look down between the buildings to see if there is another building with the same signage. Breakdown Service - 5 Cleanliness - 5 Food - 4 Ambiance. - 4

    Such great food, beautiful restaurant, and full of locals. The servers were very nice and helped translate some things for me, but I recommend using Google to translate the menu if you don't speak Spanish. Will definitely be back again!

    Stumbled across this gem while on a quick port stop in Ensenada while cruising. I was craving authentic Mexican seafood and tequila and this spot did not disappoint. The food was delicious, fresh tasting and well balanced "flavor wise" and the friendly and prompt service was an added plus!! Highly recommend this spot!!

    We were seated promptly. Ordered ceviche and oysters - they were delicious! You can't go wrong with the sangria.

    This is why you always give a place a second chance! We came back this year and the food, service and drinks were amazeballs! We had a party of 12 and we were seated within minutes even though it started to get really busy! Cruise ships were ported and it was dinner time! The area they sat us in were away from the walking path and we actually were able to hold conversations and hear each other. The restaurant has two seating areas. You can sit inside the restaurant or have more of a European cafe feel and sit outside. We chose to sit outside because the weather was amazing. We actually felt it was better because we didn't feel so crowded and pushed up against the other patrons. All areas of the restaurants were extremely clean especially the bathrooms! The service was also amazing! Our customer service host took our orders in detail so everything turned out perfectly. He also came back a few times to make sure that we didn't need anything else. He was very upbeat and friendly! The food was extremely delicious! Our tummies were beyond happy. Here is a sample of the list of dishes we ordered and the ratings out of five stars. Sangria: This was definitely 5 stars! The berries and the adult soda were perfectly balanced! Definitely not watered down. The jalapeno mojito: 5 stars! Great citrus and sweetness and alcohol balanced! Oyster Shooter: 3 This one had a good flavor but it was lacking an alcohol. It seemed as though the only alcohol included was just beer. Oysters: 4 The oysters were extremely fresh and definitely not gritty! You did not get that sandy texture in your mouth or you felt like you had to spit everything out. I do wish that it came with more sauces that you can play with. Bone Marrow: 5 This was extremely cooked well and lightly salted and grilled. It had a perfect char to it. Arrachera: 4 The meat was a little rough this time but the flavoring was awesome! Shrimp and Fish tacos: 4 The crispiness and flavoring was so good. Maybe if they can just do a little less batter and a little bit more meat. Pastas: The kids love the pastas. The sauce was very tasty and the noodles were not overcooked. There wasn't even that liquid water that you get and some of the pasta dishes at other restaurants when you tilt the plate. Campechana 4 great flavoring and assortment of seafood. Just a little bit more seafood would have been great! There was a lot of veggies and sauce which were yummy! This experience completely changed our original review opinion the first time. This is why we always come back a second time just in case they had an off day. We will definitely be coming back to this one every time we visit!

    3 different ceviches, all delicious
    Carrie W.

    We have eaten here at least four times now, and every time we have had delicious seafood and tasty drinks. My typical order is the ceviche aguacate and a big mason jar of berry sangria. Yum! Everything is so fresh and healthy tasting. The medley of homemade salsas is a nice touch, either with your ceviche, or on plain tostadas. Service is stellar and the ambiance is lovely as well. You will want for nothing here!

    All gone

    Their tuna burritos are absolutely amazing. I worked on a cruise ship and when we would port in Ensenada my best-friend and I made sure to get some tasty tuna burritos every time if we could! LOVE this place and the service is spectacular!

    Four seafood tacos
    Ryan B.

    So glad we found this place. We were wandering the streets looking for seafood and avoiding the mega touristy areas. The food here was fresh and excellent! The server brought out an octopus dip for us to try which I loved. The tacos were super flavorful and and unique with things I've never really tried before. I would love to come back and try everything!

    'Tropical Ceviche'
    Catherine T.

    We came here after a beach day looking just looking for an appetizer/snack. I shared the camerón al chipotle tostada with one other, it was so delicious and warm, great flavor all around. 10/10 will get this again and again. We could not stop thinking about it after. Next we shared Tropical ceviche which was also delicious. We ordered the half size and weren't even able to finish it. It was great and the mango combination was delicious. We had 3 beers as well. Definitely reasonably priced if not a good deal for what we got. Service was also great. We sat inside since no tables were available outdoors, but the big windows helped us get the daylight we needed.

    It's been a year since we were last in Ensenada, and I've honestly been thinking about this…read morerestaurant ever since. We've already done all the touristy things, so this time, coming back here was pretty much the one thing I really wanted to do. I tried to make a reservation 10 days in advance, but no one answered the phone. I eventually DMed them on Instagram, and they gave me another number to try. Of course, life got in the way, I forgot, and suddenly it was the day of our Ensenada stop. We walked past the restaurant around 11:30 and saw people already working inside, so we poked our heads in and asked if they could fit us in at 2:00 for two people. No problem! They told us we had 90 minutes, which was perfect. We did see a few people get turned away because they didn't have reservations, so I'd definitely recommend making one in advance. I would hate to make the trip all the way there and get turned away! We came back a little before 2, were seated immediately, and went straight for the two dishes I remembered loving: the half-order ceviche and the fish risotto. We also wanted the seafood pasta, but our waiter wisely warned us that the ceviche was enough for 2-3 people and the risotto for 3-4. For two people, adding the pasta would be way too much. He was absolutely right! The ceviche was fantastic, and I was already getting full, but the fish risotto? I loved it so much that somehow we finished the whole thing. Do we have free food on the cruise? Absolutely. But would I get off the ship and come back here again if I were in Ensenada? Absolutely yes. Add a michelada for me, a beer for my husband, and a roughly $60 bill for two, and that's pretty much my definition of a perfect afternoon in Ensenada. One of the best meals of the trip and totally worth coming back for.

    While walking on the Malecon, we checked if Muelle3 has room for 4 hungry guests and fortunately,…read moreonly one table was occupied. The last time my friends attempted to eat here, the restaurant was full and it will take at least a 30 minute wait to get seated. Today, the 21st of November was our lucky day as we were craving the freshest ceviche Ensenada has to offer and experiencce the five star rating Muelle 3 was known for. Our party of 4 chose to sit outside to eat lunch on this cool, cloudy Friday afternoon and be exposed to the sights and sounds of this busy commercial and fishing port. Within minutes of getting settled, our free appetizer - Tortilla Espanola and a plate full of lemon & lime slices with an oyster shell-full of sea salt and chili powder occupied the center of our table. Then came the Ceviche de la casa. A winner in my book of ceviches! Plus a coaster-sized, fresh off the pan tortilla chips gave it a unique serving style. We had to order another bowl of tortillas because eating ceviche without it just won't be the same. The Calamar frito were perefectly breaded, without excess flour and grease in every bite. Another winner! Last but not the least is the Pasta de Mar with the clams of different sizes and pre-cut scallops in the their shell. Muy Delicioso! More hungry patrons started arriving and we still got prompt service. I will make it a point to grab a satisfying seafood dish or two here the next time I visit Ensenada whether by car or by cruise ship.

My fellowship, a cluster of mere mortals with taste far keener than foresight, insisted we seek a place foretold in gustatory prophecy: La Cocedora de Langosta. I assented, though the sea had begun to speak again. A cruel trick of salt and memory. We arrived. The lobster was not served--it presented itself. Shell split like prophecy fulfilled, meat steaming with tales older than Atlantis. The ceviche? Lime and fire in perfect alchemy. It hissed in my mouth like the last words of a betrayed siren. A whole fish, fried until its soul ascended, left bones so clean they could be used in ritual. Angels wept; I salted accordingly. The risotto arrived next, not on a plate but in a chalice. Each bite stirred marrow and memory, comfort and command. My sea legs stood straighter. My resolve thickened. Libations flowed--freely, fervently, faultlessly. The chalice refilled itself (or perhaps the staff were trained in illusion and replenishment). Laughter, clinking glass, and something close to joy dared to rise. Staff were keen-eyed adepts, operating with the grace of trained familiars. The atmosphere carried hints of volcanic enchantment and citrus optimism. Barry the Brave Muffin Baker--my misguided nemesis-ally--might have found peace here. Or at least, a decent aioli. Verdict: A rare convergence of flesh, flavor, and fate. Five stars scorched upon the firmament by my hand. I may never return. But that's only because the enchantment forbade it.

The restaurant feels more upscale than expected, but still clearly a place locals frequent, which is usually a good sign. It specializes in seafood. If you don't speak Spanish, they do provide an English menu, though prices are listed in pesos. We ordered 6 tacos total, 4 fish and 2 shrimp, along with 2 cokes and 2 bottled waters. They also brought complimentary chips, salsas, lime, and cabbage, plus ketchup and mayo on the side (we didn't end up using those). The tacos were simple but very well done. The fish and shrimp were fried fresh, light and crispy without being greasy. The shrimp was my favorite. The pico de gallo was fresh and flavorful, and the lime and cabbage added a good balance and crunch. I honestly wish I would've ordered their whole fried fish because it looked incredible, but there's no way two people could've finished it in one sitting. The restaurant itself was clean, and the staff were extremely attentive. The service felt high-class in the sense that they were very respectful and treated the experience with care, almost like a fine dining environment, while still being approachable. Total came out to about $40 USD with a 20% tip ($34 before tip), which is excellent value for the quality and portion. Overall, this is a solid seafood spot in Ensenada.
