    Pretty sure these are tacos. I ordered a quesadilla
    Mary S.

    Way overpriced for cruise ship days. Typical catcalls to get you in and then forget about you once you're seated. Quality and flavor were meh. I felt like I was dining in an off hours strip club during the day. I'm pretty sure I was.

    Shrimp Cevixhe....looks nicer than it tastes.   Too much lime
    Brian C.

    TYPICAL TOURIST TRAP/SCAM Ordered 4 'Margaritas, 2 sodas, 1 Beer, 1 quesadilla, 2 tacos, 1 Shrimp Ceviche, and 2 Chips & Guacamole. Bill came out to over 4000 pesos or $266 USD. and then when we go to pay,l with card they charge an extra 10% fee!! If this was a resort or some destination vacation spot then maybe the prices are justified. But a local spot in Ensenada just looking to fill seats with people serving mediocre food should not cost more than my weekend cruise. Lesson learned....Consider yourself warned!!!

    Scam check!!!!
    Jenny X.

    ZERO STARS. TOTAL SCAM. Tourist trap--avoid at all costs. The menu was literally printed on the table and showed tacos 3 for $6 and lemonade for $2. We ordered 4 plates of tacos and 4 lemonades, expecting a bill around $32. Instead, the check came to $140. When we questioned it, they didn't care at all. Several other tables around us were also arguing with the owner and manager. It felt chaotic and honestly unsafe--we paid just so we could get out of there. On top of that, we were seated outside where people constantly approached us trying to sell things. The restaurant looks run down and the whole experience was uncomfortable. Check on restaurants BEFORE you go any where on vacation, if you don't you could be scammed or have a very bad/ expensive experience! Save yourself the headache and stay far away from this restaurant!!

    Asked for shrimp cocktail and they brought me ceviche

    DONT EAT HERE This place hassles you to come eat at their restaurants. Men dressed in black approach you and make promises referring to great food. They are a wanta be Papa's n Beer. We were charged an extra 30 dollars for our food. The tables clearly have the prices marked but when we were taking care of our bill the server said the prices are more and that he already told us when we sat down. A clear lie!!!

    This place is horrible boil meat no flavor- top it off they scam you on the bill and never use your card either they will run your card multiple times for different amounts. They tell you to scan the menu the tables look like is the menu. They know what they are doing too when they give you the bill all the men's that lures you in surrounds you and looks at you to see if you catch their scam

    We ordered four margaritas and one order of the fish tacos. Total was $800 pesos or $45 US. They charged my card $180. OMG I feel violated.

    Food was ok but we were conned and cheated. We have been going here for 10 years and trusted them. Never again.

    Chicken soft shell tacos (3) with four different salsas (upper right-hand corner) to use, and chips & sauce.
    Robert P.

    Outstanding service, ambiance, and food! I enjoyed their three chicken soft tacos along with a few strawberry margaritas with sugar on the glass lip. Will visit the next time to Ensenada BC Mexico.

    DON'T GO HERE!

    Food was ok but WAY overpriced. 70 bucks for 6 tacos and 2 margaritas. Don't be lured in. The food wasn't anything to write home about.

    Its a scam and the food isn't that good. A family of 3 was charged $129 for tacos. Don't give them your business.

    They do not take card and don't tell you until it's too late. They completely screwed us over and it's outrageously priced. Do not go here.

    Avoid at all costs, complete scam. Every review about being astronomically overcharged for less than mediocre food is correct.

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.

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 looked like there was some of a wait time, but it turned out they did have a table for 2 available. The wait time is mostly for large parties. If you do come with a large party they have seating in the back just note it will take awhile. By large I mean 11 people (2 parties of 11 people showed up when I was there). The food. So many yummy options I had a hard time picking. I ended up ordering the combination plate as it included a little bit of everything: your choice of either green or red chilaquiles, machaca (shredded beef not the dry one), egg, beans and some fries. I also ordered fresh orange juice as I can't say no to fresh juices. I ATE EVERYTHING! It was so good I couldn't stop eating even when I knew I was full LOL. Side note def get the coffee as it is really good. We actually ended up buying the coffee they bought with us called La Negrita and is a couple of minutes away from the restaurant. Plus a local coffee vendor. Staff is super friendly and service is fast (for smaller parties). Place is clean and does have parking in the back. Definitely recommend this place for breakfast. If I am ever back in the area I am definitely coming back!

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!!

Prices might not be the cheapest but it's worth it for a great meal.
