    Filet mignon with potatoes and asparagus Coconut shrimp with asparagus and rice This little place is amazing. Great food with great taste. Amazing!

    It was another weekend away in baja, and we decided to drive down to Ensenada to have dinner one weekend evening. The drive south was not bad at all, it took a little under an hour to get there from Tijuana. The scenic toll road is always the best route south. When we got to the area, we were able to find parking along the street. Parking spots were ample, and not a far walk from the restaurant. The area was safe and clean, which is great for what seems to be the restaurant row of Ensenada. La Ensenada is a small spot, but fortunately, the place was not packed. We were shown to our table immediately. Once or waiter came to take our order, I ordered the filet mignon. The food did not take long to get to us. My filet mignon dish was complete with rice, potatoes, and grilled veggies. The filet mignon was bathed in teriyaki sauce, which was an ok addition. The only other place I've had filet mignon doused in sauce is in South Carolina, and it was good, albeit heavy. Not so here, it was good, but not to where it would leave me comatose. The service was efficient and attentive. We had a great dinner, and were taken cared of well. Most definitely a good spot for dinner in Ensenada, I recommend it.

    Arrachera, delicious!

    Loved it! Great food, you have to try the arrachera, perfect portions great flavor. It is a cute restaurant in the heart of Ensenada.

    Simply amazing food. So good. Everything and I mean everything was delicious. The Arachera made my girlfriend swoon and she is the pickiest eater on the North American continent.

    I was surprised to find this restaurant empty! I ordered the fettuccine shrimp and scallops and it was the best I've had in Ensenada! My partner ordered the fish of the day with veggies and enjoyed it very much. The service is great and friendly! Provecho!

    This is such a cute place. Across street from Hotel Cortez. I went there to have a drink 20 minutes before closing and the waitresses were nice and friendly. They have a nice atmosphere inside the restaurant....super modern and contemporary too.

The beef birria tacos come with so many accompaniments -- a full bowl of chopped onions, fresh cilantro, limes, and radishes. The amount of meat and tortillas was generous and we had trouble finishing it all. The consomme was SO delcious. Service was friendly and fast. Our server didn't speak much English so be ready to use google translate if you don't know much Spanish, but we had no issues communicating and ordering. There are restrooms available as well. They accept cash and card.

    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!!

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.

    I came here for only one thing, lobster!…read more It did not disappoint although the price tag is heavy for the lobster, but the lobster was absolutely delicious. I think what I really liked about this place is that they accommodated my friend with his vegetarian needs. The vegetarian pasta dish that they generated looked very appetizing. This place is on the north side of the black fish market so there is less foot traffic.
