Awesome location, with extraordinary views make this place special whenever dining in. Menu items are typical of this place, in terms of seafood, but in a nice place with either patio or indoor seating. Excellent service and portions! I had fish soup and shrimp/octopus cocktail and was extremely satisfied. Well woodruff the drive; will return again. read more

First time here, visiting La Buffadora. Party of 5, we sat at the Terrace. The Ocean view was Beautiful! Service was Excellent, the waiter was very attentive. 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. read more

I will say the view is nice, the food average. It's a bit expensive. We ordered Aguas frescas: horchata and jamaica...not tasty at all. We asked for tortillas and they brought 2 corn and two flour, we liked the flour better. The salad dressing was good and my fish average, it was deep fried but very dry. read more

Los Panchos - Mexican Near Me - Ensenada, BCN

Walked in during our visit to the buffadora and it was amazing. We are always sketchy about eating in big restaurants in tourist sites because I feel the prices are always higher and the quality of the food doesn't match it. This place was the opposite. The prices were right around what you will pay in any nice sit down restaurant anywhere in Ensenada. We were a party or 10 and we're sat down right away, chips and dip and drinks were served immediately. The waitress was nice not pushy and very patient with our big party. I ordered a shrimp cocktail and it was amazing. I ordered asada tacos for my girls and they were just the right size and generous with the meat. The beans on the dish were apparently delicious I didn't try them myself but the whole table was raving about the flavor, not sure how good refried beans can be but I'll take their word for it. Ambience was perfect for this tourist site, you're over the water live music playing, the artist sounded just like Joan Sebastian so not too loud or overwhelming. Oh and the bathrooms were clean. read more

Don't know where to begin but this restaurant has room for improvement especially with that view overlooking the water. I think they have so much potential. I've been to this restaurant 3 times already within the past 4 years, meaning this is my go to whenever my family and I come to La Bufadora. Every time we come here their service is slow and their not even busy. This past Saturday 10/10 was a different they had a lot of people sitting in the terrace. So service was slow the food was meh. The "entertainment" was also meh. The womens bathroom located on the lower level is dark and dingy plus the soap dispensers were empty and no paper towels there either. For crying out loud we are in a pandemic where are their cleaning supplies? I am sorry but when I used to work at a restaurant my manager used to tell me that the cleanliness of the bathroom speaks volumes about how clean their kitchen is too. So she used to send me or any one of the hostesses to check the bathrooms every 15 minutes but mainly for touch ups. Meaning we didn't do the "dirty work". So yeah something to think about. The only thing worth coming here for really are the micheladas and mariscos with a view. read more

The view is spectacular. the Margarita's are good but the food is s*#t. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. We had 3 margaritas, the seafood combination ( inedible) and the beef enchiladas. The enchiladas needed a knife to cut them. all of this for $71.40 US dollars. Absolute crap. Save your money and avoid this place., unless you are looking for a margarita with a view. read more

Mediocre food, horrible service, and expensive for MX. The food quality was not great. I ordered aguachiles and I must've gotten 8 shrimp. the tacos gobernador were good but the beans and rice almost inedible. Service was TERRIBLE, the waiter was very rude and condescending. We kept asking him what kind of fish was offered and he could never answer; just kept saying local fish. ummm ok. what's the local fish?... My mom ordered a michelada and she said it was very bland. Nothing special. The restaurant was empty so this should've been a sign. We asked for napkins and chips for the complimentary ceviche which never came.We kept having to call another server to help us because ours was MIA. I wish we would've gotten a different server maybe our experience would've been slightly better. My sisters and I felt really bad because we brought my mom here for Mother's Day only to be greatly disappointed. Side Note: If paying here with USD; please check the exchange rate carefully. They tried to give me a 15 conversion when the current rate is over 18. Had we paid in US dollars; they would've made an additional $45USD in overages. read more

Overpriced horrible, dry food. Stick with drinks and chips if you stop here. Guy outside promises all kinds of free drinks and such but it doesn't happen. Ensenada has such good restaurants but this isn't one of them read more

Well the view is amazing but that's about it. The service is appalling and the food is horrible. Some bizarre sweet brown sauce on the shrimp fajitas. And, despite the tortillas for the fajitas arrived 30 minutes late. The place was empty midday on a Saturday for a reason. read more

The only reason why I came in here was because it was the only place opened. The food was okay! I got a pescado frito which was about $225 peso the customer service was excellent but the prices were too damn expensive. It has a beautiful view but I felt so ripped off coming to eat here. read more

So last time I was here with a bunch of friends from the ranch ( a couple of years ago), it was stinky and the food and drinks were very pricey. I swore I would never come back, we'll Manny is working here now, I had to come and visit him. Pro's and Con's with this place. The Pros: Great view, Not Stinky, lots of fresh air, Manny the Bartender from the closed bar up the road. The Cons: Walking the Gauntlet to get here through all of the vendors, NO ACTUAL BAR, Very pricey!!! Tourist prices!!! (They should have locals pricing), I bet a bunch more of my friends and neighbors from the ranch would come this way if the prices went so high and there was a real bar to sit at !!! Restaurants in the area should be taking advantage of the time while Los Gordos is gone, they will be back. Oh btw I do like this place now, I will be back, just hopefully they fix the prices for Locals. read more

I have been coming to La Bufadora for 30 years. Yes I understand this is a tourist spot. But I had a few friends down to are home here so we decided to have a few drinks here. Well I have never been ripped off so bad. 3 tequila shots, 2 beers, and 1 margarita. $48.50. Lesson learned always ask the price before you order. Don't go here!! read more

Never again. Food was incomplete and extremely cold. LOS ANGELES has better food for the money's worth. When I told the waiter that 2 plates of my 5 were cold, he said he couldn't change them. Wow. Never again. Worst food. Worst service. read more
