Our tour guide recommended we stop in here, so I don't have any other local eateries to compare it to, but we had a delicious meal here and would recommend if you are a birria fan.

La Guadalajara specializes in birria, or Mexican stewed meats, and their food really hit the spot!…read moreSince they offered a variety of meats, ordering the tacos was a great way to sample a variety, and I got the Birria de Borrego (lamb) and the Birria de Chivo (goat), both of which were served in a corn tortilla along with chopped onions, cilantro, lime, radishes, a mild salsa of chopped tomatoes/onions/herbs, a spicy red salsa, and tortilla chips. Both of the meats were tender and delicious, though I slightly preferred the chivo (goat), which was meatier, leaner, and more flavorful. I also especially liked the mild salsa, which had a nice refreshing flavor, and the ability to customize the condiments on each taco. Everything was delicious and came at a good value, and the service was super friendly and attentive too!

It's not hard to find, but unlike so any other options, it's not loud or flashy. We weren't ushered in by some guy on the street promising "the best" of anything. It's small, but clean.. you order at the counter.. my wife and I were the only gringos in there, and we don't speak Spanish. We were quickly presented with a sample plate of all the meats available for their tacos. The wife and I each got a Birria taco and I also got a chicken taco with some of the best Mole sauce I've ever had. They had a table set up in back with all the fixings and salsas you could ask for and the tacos came with beans and rice. We grabbed a bottle of water from the cooler, and the whole meal came to $13 with a tip!!! I mean, that's an unbelievable value for your money. The tacos were incredible. The beans and rice were delicious and the corn tortillas were homemade and some of the best we've ever had. The wife and I often use Yelp! to find places exactly like this, and once again, it did not disappoint. If you're in Ensenada do yourself a favor and skip all the hype spots and go find this place for some amazing food at incredible prices!!

Great portions packed with flavor. I went back for oysters, which they shuck right in front of you. There were so many chile bottles to choose from. They also had some dark "crack" sauce that I chose to put on. I'm no sabo so I no sabo what the salsa was but it was delicious. Spicy, tangy, umami. Muyyyy ricooooo

During our first cruise stop in Ensenada while walking back from our lunch stop back to the ship,…read morewe noticed the large crowds gathered around El Guero Mariscos. Thus we made a point to stop by for food during our second cruise stop in Ensenada, 4 days later. We discovered the large crowds were not in line waiting, but were instead enjoying their ceviche and other cold seafood while standing up. It made for a festive atmosphere, definitely ramping up the enjoyment of really great tasting seafood. The food stall is located facing the main road of Ensenada (walking distance from the cruise port) and is separated into two parts: the front serving seafood tostadas and the back serving cocktails and aquachiles. Each had different lines, with a common guy accepting payment after delivery. They have been doing this for a while (1981?) and things are efficient. I wanted one thing, which was the mixed cocktail with all the seafood available (campechano, a word I've come to love since moving to the LA area). They have 4 sizes from chico ($105) to jumbo ($360). The seafood mix is diced together ahead of time to save on time, and are mostly diced pretty fine. The mix is prepared fresh though, and was ready in about a minute. It was excellent, refreshing and just the right amount for me. I had wanted to try the seafood cocktail again from La Guerrerense (another nearby famous seafood stand), so that was our first stop during our second visit to Ensenada in 5 days. We then visited other sites in the area, saving El Guero for the end before we headed back to the ship. As expected the cocktail from Guerrerense was very good, but this version from El Guero was even better....better selection of seafood, and more finely mixed to give a better representation of the different textures of the freshness. That would make it the best seafood cocktail I've ever enjoyed.

Tucked away from the busy tourist strip, we found what every traveler hopes to find: genuine hospitality, honest prices, and incredible food. The staff treated us exactly like they treated the locals--with respect, warmth, and zero pressure. No tourist traps, no inflated prices, just outstanding food made right. Every dish was packed with flavor, the homemade sauces were absolutely phenomenal, and the service was some of the best we've experienced anywhere in Mexico. What impressed us most was the value. The quality of the food and service easily deserved a much higher price tag, yet everything was refreshingly fair and affordable. If you're visiting the area and want an authentic local experience with amazing food, stop searching and come here. This was hands down one of the highlights of our trip. That version tends to perform well because it emphasizes authenticity, value, local treatment, and creates curiosity for other travelers.

We noticed it when we went to the museum next door, and it had good reviews on yelp. I ordered the divorced chilaquiles and a green juice. My husband ordered the Huevos con Machaca. My breakfast was covered with cheese and cilantro (which I hate!). I picked off as much cilantro as I could, and I also scraped some cheese off. Unfortunately, the chilaquiles just didn't taste very good. I barely ate my breakfast. My husband didn't care for his breakfast either. There was way too much meat and barely any eggs. They provided complimentary chips and salsa, which were good. My green juice was delicious. Unfortunately, we were both disappointed, and I don't think we'd ever eat here again.
