Amazing hidden gem during our visit to Ensenada. Found it by searching bars near downtown. We got lucky to have the entire restaurant to ourselves for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Great food, drinks, and food. What else could you ask fo read more

I love this place. Great service, the food is great, love the cozy feel of it with a nice view of the ocean. We have tried. The salmon, ceviche. Cream of zucchini and the burger. Everything was excellent. Highly recommend it read more

Great view and pretty good food. Been here twice this week (7.30.18-8.3.18) and they will cheat you on the conversion to dollars. It happened both times. First time I just laughed it off because after all I am a stupid Gringo. The second time I couldn't resist correcting them and took it out of their tip. In the end, really wasn't worth it, huh??? read more

Planta Baja Restaurant - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Ensenada, BCN

What a beautiful restaurant! We stumbled upon Planta Baja while staying in El Sauzal after driving down from San Diego. We saw that it had great reviews on Yelp and it was right down the street (I'm talking 5 min drive) from our AirBnB. We were the only ones in the restaurant - it was around 1:30pm. We were able to choose which table we wanted, we picked an outdoor table and it was the most beautiful view. Complete ocean. We ordered our drinks, I had champagne and it was a very generous pour (almost to the brim) in a very large flute. The food was phenomenal! My friend and I shared the shrimp risotto and our other friend had the mushroom burger. We were not disappointed! read more

What a great view and delicious food. The olives that they bring out along with fresh baked bread let's you know you are going to eat something really good. We ordered the made to order chips that were a classic and tasty treat. read more

I am someone who loves to support local places, am a former waitress who tips as such and generally very kind to wait staff. Having said that, I've given this place two chances. My friend and I asked for water with lemon because it was a cold night and they up charged us as though we had ordered two teas. Additionally the chicken salad was so boring it had literally spring mix lettuce and chicken breast, no croutons (just a tiny piece of bread, not any variety of vegetables nor anything else. This salad was $15 (280 pesos.) Not worth it at all. The portions were small. I had tried this place 3 years ago and did not even eat the lasagna I had ordered it was so bad. By a friends suggestion I gave it another chance, I was going to just chalk it up as a loss until they tried to charge us $70 pesos for hot water (that's nearly the daily wage here in Mexico!). I just think maybe they think most people will just pay it and too bad but on principle and total disappointment I could not let it go. The food is mediocre and it's overpriced--also I asked for water in a glass and they tried to up charge me by bringing me bottled water. Normally I'm generous and would let it slide but on principle alone I won't. There are many great places to eat here (I live here,) this just isn't one of them. You would be better to get some picnic food and actually sit near the ocean for much cheaper. The view isn't worth the overpriced mediocre food. If anyone who knows me were reading this knows I NEVER complain, always tip 20% and am a good customer-loyal to places with great service and good food. This place just isn't it. read more

Lovely setting right on the water with a broad selection of food and drinks. Doesn't look like much from the outside off the road, but don't be discouraged! There's a few vegetarian/vegan options to choose from as well as traditional Mexican food. The tortilla soup is fantastic! read more

Only place with good vegan food in Ensenada, but also in general literally so beautiful on the water amazing service delicious food !!!

I really wish we dined here during the day because we couldn't see anything at night. It was just pitch black, but the sound of the waves made it very soothing. Our waiter was super helpful with recommendations. Ordered -- Hamburguesa de camaron (Seafood hamburger), Lasagna de cordero (Minced lamb lasagna, BBQ belly pork, and some seafood dish I forget. Oh, their bread and budduh was pure goodness. We ended up asking for more hehe. The local craft beers were amazing as well! Service was awesome! & everything was super cheap. It was my first time in Mexico and I already loved it! I can't wait to go back. Happy camper! read more

I live in Ensenada and I love this place! Easy access, parking lot, open on Mondays, open til late, beautiful view, delicious food, excellent service and not turistic. Just perfect for me read more

Fantastic location and stunning inside. Let down by terrible food and high prices. This place COULD BE fantastic. Just need a decent chef and drop the prices a tad read more

We visited several times while on holiday in the area, dinner was so good we wanted to try the brunch too! Tried other restaurants but none came close. Jaw dropping views, attention to detail across the board, friendly staff & delicious fresh & inventive dishes. My husband has tricky dietary requirements, but nothing was too much trouble. A must if in the area!! read more

I read several reviews stating that Planta Baja has delicious vegan options. I'm so glad we checked it out because the coconut risotto was delicious. My husband loved the sea bass. Beautiful setting and great staff. We will be back. read more

I kind of don't want to tell people how awesome this place is just so I can keep it all to myself!!! We stopped in for an early drink on our way to our hotel in Ensenada & had the pleasure of sitting on the outside patio on the ocean. We were entranced by the sound and view of the ocean. We could have sat there for days just enjoying the view. We ordered a round of drinks (Margaritas & a Paloma) which were good as well as chips (Possibly made fresh to order) & REALLY GOOD Guacamole. The Décor inside and outside is beautiful, peaceful & not over doing it at all. The plants are aligned along the wall & sprinkled around the patio. Our waiter was a pleasure to have and was very professional. The next day, we knew we had to go back for Sunset & that was a great idea. Another couple of cocktails while the sun was setting, then we got to see the patio during the evening lit up with their pretty string lights. We also had a dessert before our dinner stop (Adults can do that, right?). We had the coconut cheesecake, which was very good. Not as dense as American cheesecake, so it was almost like a heavy mousse dessert. And the playlist they had on Saturday night was Soooooo Romantic, but not overbearing. Just pleasantly in the background, but wow......some one should have proposed while we were there!! It was that good! I want to rent this place out for a private event one of these days.....then I can have it all to myself :-) read more

Planta Baja Restaurant - Margarita, chips with DELICIOUS guacamole and a great view - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Ensenada, BCN

Great location right near the ocean front. The food is decent. Prices not bad. Staff cool

Everything was excellent. Food was hot and delicious and the service was also very good. The food looks as good as it tastes. I decided to order something out of my ordinary orders and I was not disappointed. The Jurel ahumado en hojas de maíz is what I ended up getting based off Misael our waiter's recommendation. I really enjoyed my meal. I would definitely go again. read more

The restaurant is beautiful, but the patio is where it's at. The food was delicious and the service was great. If you're in the area, I would definitely recommend it it. We went during sunset time and couldn't be happier with our experience. read more

It's worth going the foods amazing I didn't like what I got as much as my family's dishes there dishes were delicious and the view is breathtaking if your into the ocean read more

It had an amazing view. The servers were very friendly and attentive. Food was delicious.

Great restaurant with an amazing ocean view. Had the best! I mean best mango margarita ever! I will drive here again just for another one!. Couldn't eat because they had a private party scheduled that day. However they were nice enough to let us have drinks and enjoy the view for an hour or so. Can't wait to come eat here next time read more

Was really excited about hitting this up for our first dinner in Ensenada. Margaritas were quite disappointing and the food ok. Food came out tasting more warm then hot which should never be the case. And as the margaritas, the food was bland and quite dull to be honest. Place has great potential. Hope they "spice" it all up. read more

This was just a short walk from our Airbnb condo and we decided we wanted something very local for our first night. We were not disappointed. We actually are at Deckman's the next night, but our dinner here was actually a bit more memorable. Definitely recommend this, especially to enjoy dinner during sunset. read more

The food was great, truly some of the best I've had in BC. Despite this and the wonderful ambiance, the service was god awful. There were 5 tables occupied including mine and 3 servers, yet I asked for water twice and wine twice and they never brought it to me. It took forever to get the one cocktail I ordered and to get the one check. It was just not as good of an experience as it could have and should have been, and I don't think I nor my friends will return. read more

This place is fantastic! It has ocean view, great ambience, excellent service, and delicious food! Everything was spot on, including the filet mignon, the stuffed chicken breast, and the tortilla soup. It is a must if you're visiting Ensenada. read more

We had an incredible dinner here at Planta Baja last weekend. We managed to come in right before the sunset and were seated outside by the cliffside. We had a table that overlooked the ocean and the breeze felt amazing as we dined. Our servers were attentive and always came with a smile and a refill. And the food was the best part. There were 8 of us altogether and we each ordered something different. The kids all had the spaghetti though, which was made with homemade noodles, and even I found myself taking bites of their plates because it was so good. I had the fish of the day (sea bass) with clams, and it was in a red sauce that I could've slurped from a cup - it was so tasty. I regretted not saving some of the bread that came before the meals to dip into that sauce. It was amazing. My mother had the fish and shrimp ceviche and that was also really good. We really enjoyed our last night in Ensenada here and will definitely be coming back again on our next trip! read more

Great food, we got to eat right along the ocean. The restaurant is beautiful--extremely clean, modern and quite big. However, we were the only people that were there and this threw us off a little bit. The spicy margarita and the ocean view made us forget about how empty it was quite quickly...definitely recommend going to this spot. read more

From the outside doesn't look so great, but believe me! It's totally worth it! the food was incredible! You can tell that someone put a lot of thought and love putting something like that together! I had the filet mignon, and my husband had the seafood risotto! It was AMAZING! So glad we came in! read more

one of the prettiest bar/ restaurants on the strip in El Sauzal/Ensenada.As the other gentleman wrote,the view and setting is spectacular and the drinks are good. The food review I leave to others that ate there.Be daring and try it! read more

Amazing fish of the day with nopales salad! Fantastic everything, really. We all left v happy and full!

Do not order the steak! Dry tasteless and over priced. Nice ambience though. I expected much more from the food.

Beautiful restaurant right on the water before you enter Ensenada. We had drinks inside and once the sun came out we moved to the patio. We had margaritas, micheladas, shots and beers (yes we were in the mood for drinking). Service was on point and the view is to die for. Can't wait to go back! read more

The food is mediocre. The mix drinks were mediocre. The ocean view is spectacular. I would recommend this place to someone that just wants to drink beer. I give this place 3 stars for its ocean view. read more

Great food!! The steak was so tender. My husband loved his fish too. Cosmopolitan atmosphere with great view of ocean on the outdoor patio. Good place to have a few drinks at the bar or come for dinner. read more

Loved it. Only had drinks and apps, but it was a nice experience. My son played in their kids area. Beautiful view of the ocean.

Beautiful view, kind and attentive service staff, lovely comfort style seafood and tapas. We had a wonderful time at sunset.
