PLEASE figure out how to accept phone orders. I live two blocks away. I want this to be my main spot BUT I want to be able to call in and my food be ready when I arrive. You are LOSING business daily as I legit have gone elsewhere because of this. If this gets better I'll increase my review. The food is excellent by the way! read more

Their fish tacos are *amazing*! And if you go on Tuesday they are only 99c each, a ridiculous deal! 3-4 tacos is quite filling. No seating allowed inside currently but they have 3-4 umbrella covered patio tables outside. Support this business and don't forget to tip!! read more

When I learned Tacos Ensenada opened a location much closer to me I had High Expectations as I frequent and love the Original Duarte location. Kept it simple with Tacos de Camaron y Pescado - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tacos-ensenada-altadena?select=6hR1Nj6FCNyqT8p7MX-EVw&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Camaron/Shrimp - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tacos-ensenada-altadena?select=gM4xDs15vhrTvd5WnfQgjA&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg As you can see from photo the color is NOT a deep golden brown which means I had mushy shrimp = NO Bueno! I peeled off the batter and at the camaron as is....#Fail 1-Star Pescado/Fish - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tacos-ensenada-altadena?select=lNrTGMARtiP8tj9jit5yzg&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Now that's how it should be cooked/fried excellent tacos! 5-Stars I left saying I'll not return...... I may give them another shot due to location but at this point still can't believe how BAD that shrimp was cooked. read more

Doesn't get much better than quick delicious Mexican food. Tacos Ensenada is the go to spot with a variety of tacos , tortas , burritos and marisco based food. I always get the large cocktail de camarón and a mixed burrito of Shrimp and fried fish strips. Also the Tuesday special are $.99 fish tacos and I know most places don't deliver but they are the exception . They give you the best taco every time single time , be prepared to wait since most people come in order 10-20 tacos at a time. read more

Whack!! So Yelp notified me of a brand new Mexican joint where I can get my fish tacos on and I was very excited. This is their 3rd location so I figured they must be doing something right? Wrong! I ordered the fish taco combo and proceeded to head towards to what I thought was a salsa bar... NOPE! No hay bar de salsa. No homemade salsa, just fire in a bottle at the table. Hrmmm this is not looking good. When my order arrived I went straight for the rice because I love me some Mexican rice -_- Nope! It was extremely bland with no seasoning. The beans were a salt bomb.....and the fish tacos???? They were actually just ok. They were better than your average gringo fish taco but certainly nothing to write home about. The batter was meh. I also ordered the nachos which were good but unfortunately not warm enough. I stand by my previous review, El Taco Nazo in Baldwin Park still has the best fish tacos ever. Preach! read more

This is part of the all star chain in Duarte and Los Angeles famous for the 99 cent tacos, ceviche, AND along lines. I've had tacos and burritos from here and the food and service are consistent with the well established Duarte branch. Tacos come with the normal fixings (pico, cabbage, sour cream). I like the fish and potato tacos best. This is a great place for Mexican food, however it is dangerous for me that it is located across the street from my gym. Really derailing my plans for a smoking summer bod. Expect to wait in a long line for taco Tuesday/Thursday deals. My only woe is this is a very small space for the high volume of customers they receive. Not much standing or sitting room inside or outside. The food is cheap, flavorful and comes out quickly if you are willing to wait it out in the line (or order ahead). The menus is bilingual but knowing some basic food words in Spanish can only help you! read more

It all starts with clean restroom. This eatery is just dirty. I'm worried about the effect this food will have on me in and hour or so. We've got a broom resting on a trash receptacle right next to the exit/entrance. I did have a carne asada and a fish taco. They were okay. I've had better at a food truck. My recommendation, save your money. I'm still searching for the best Mexican food here in Pasadena. Anyone???!!! read more

The BEST!!!! Get the aguachile or shrimp cocktail. Tacos are yummy too! Staff is sooo nice and helpful. Love tacos ensenada!

I recently moved to the neighborhood and just noticed this place today. As I'm always in the mood for tacos, I stopped in. I got 2 asada and 2 fish tacos, and they were delicious!!! Everything tasted really fresh. Even the carne asada, which you know, can tend to sit out for a while, send like it was grilled up fresh for me. They have specials throughout the week, like i believe 99cent fish tacos on Tuesdays. I will definitely be back for those! It was also nice and cool inside, which was really nice! And the bathrooms were clean too!! I can't wait to go back!! read more

The food itself taste good, the fish tacos were pretty good. Due to their lack of menu items, I get the quesadilla which is okay. Service is usually slow. This time I went they had completely forgotten about my order. Hope service improves in the future. read more

I'm only giving this place the 3 stars because the fish tacos were decent and well $1, I made a mistake to come on a Tuesday when they have a special, The place is packed and they were messing up orders left and right my husband ordered chicken and al pastor tacos, worst tacos ever! We ordered a chicken quesadilla for my daughter- was so salty it was inedible, the fish cebiche also salty. I really wanted to like this place but we won't be coming back. read more

I'm glad Altadena/Pasadena area has a seafood place. We visited their location in Duarte and that one was horrible. This one however, is pretty good for Pasadena/Altadena. It is small and sometimes you have to wait in line but if you are craving yummy ceviche and shrimp tacos this is a must for you! Parking is shared with a super market and can be hard to find. They do have seating inside and out. I have had the ceviche, tacos and shrimp cocktail! read more

Spot in Altadena with the usual Mexican fast food vibes you'd find in other metropolitan areas. Came here Sunday night. When I first ordered my food, I noticed something very important: They didn't have any salsa on the side bar! Just pickled onions, limes, and peppers. My order for the day was Carne Asada Fries. For about 7 bucks and tax, you get a good helping of carne asada fries. At first glance, it looked pretty good and worth the price. The guac, sour cream, and beans are a good mix with the fries. If I were to say each ingredient is good alone, I would say no, but the mess of food which is Carne Asada Fries makes it edible. The fries were good, but not the most exciting. Overall, it was generic. Not too much in terms of flavor, but it was enjoyable to eat. It's one of the those restaurants where you don't mind how it tastes because you're drunk and incoherent. read more

I've been passing by this place for over a year and always told myself that I'll stop by. I am so happy that I did cause now I'm coming here all the time. I picked up a taco plate with steak, chicken, and pulled pork. The taco's were amazing but what was the best part is the sauce. You can ask for their spiciest sauce and it really has a kick. The staff is friendly and even the customers are friendly! I ended up having great conversations with the other patrons of this place who all live in the area. Must be a hidden gem and I get that not all reviewers will find this place great, but you can't win them all right, Tacos Ensenada?!! Why would you want to win over those haters? read more

Oh my! Shrimp and fish tacos here are delicious! Balanced flavors, perfect ratio with salsa, cabbage, and white sauce. The hint of the spiciness in the salsa is amazing! Customer service here is not great but don't let that annoy you. You are only here for those delicious shrimp and fish tacos!! read more

Hopefully we went on an off day. We had some of those worse food in history! We ordered shrimp and fish tacos and tried the crispy shrimp taco. Where to begin .. everything was wrong with our food. The tortillas and shrimp were cold the breading was heavy and tasteless. Really sad experience, the only good thing was the salsa. My first and last visit here, Cali fish tacos is way better! read more

Bad service food never cooked properly un friendly people not worth spending my money there to be completely honest!

I've eaten here over five times never had a bad meal always full regardless if it's lunch or dinner on a weekday. The don't have salsa unless you ask the food is on point don't need extra salsa pls they give unlimited pepppers with seasoning lime and red onion today I'm having crab tostadas and shrimp burrito this place is awesome but parking is difficult and getting a table is also difficult read more

I usually get a vegetarian burrito with light cream; I enjoy the flavor though the salsa used can be a bit spicy for some people's tastes. The prices are very reasonable, and the food is well-prepared. There is ample seating, and the menu has a good variety of options. read more

Second time )when I first tried their seafood burrito) my sister wanted a shrimp one and told me to go there . In my head I'm like ewww but ehh free food . Boy oh boy they must have changed cooks because I'm back today ! And I can say I'm in love !!! Lol any seafood loves will live for this burrito! Only reason why it's not five stars becaus upon making this post I see the health score is a B .. yeaaaaa lmfao read more

Ok wow. So I was passing through and needed to get groceries at the super king in this plaza, and I noticed the taco restaurant in the same plaza and I hadn't eaten all ya and ya girl can't say no to tacos- so I did the 2 birds, 1 stone trick. Noticed it was a seafood place too- so I got the fish ceviche tostada and the fish taco, thinking that if I was still hungry, I could get more or check out another nearby taco place if I was feeling adventurous. Holy crap- the fish ceviche tostada was HUGE- but more importantly it was DELICIOUS. a mountain of gratuitous juicy white fish and onions and tomato topped with avocado, perfectly marinated and flavorful on a crunchy disc. The mountain of wet ingredients was actually at a very heavy fish to tostada ratio, but holy shit THAT VALUE. I feel like they packed on more than 2 tacos worth of fish ceviche on my tostada, but it's actually cheaper than 2 regular tacos so freakin bomb. And that fish taco- light, crispy, flavorful, and delicious. And their crema sauce is nice and thick here (twss). And another nice thing I noticed here was their limes were extremely juicy. (Ever been to a place where the lime wedges are dryer than SoCal itself?? Hate that! Not here doe.) And the icing on top- it happened to be their taco deal day- THURSDAY TACOS ARE $1!! - so when I realized this, I had to visit the cute cashier ladies again. I got the asada and al pastor. Asada wasn't the best BUT LOVED THE PASTOR. I'm so glad I happened upon this place! So cheap and so good. read more

Best fish tacos in the Pasadena area! The grilled fish tacos are fire!!! Lots of fish meat in each taco. Go on Tuesdays, when tacos are $1!

This place is the worse and have no customer service skills. I ordered fish and carne asada tacos and received all carne asada tacos. I attempted to call them back and there was no answer. I called them later to explain what happened and they placed the blame on the cooks with no accountability. I will no longer done here!! read more

This was my first time visiting this place, had a fish taco and shrimp, not sure which one was better but they were both delicious, I'll definitely be back Monday for lunch. The grilled peppers were off the chain , available at the salsa bar. Can't wait to try EVERYTHING LOL... read more

I love their tostada mixta and shrimp coctail. I like their fish tacos are blah. Everyone loves to visit this location for its fish tacos on tuesdays which are $1 each, but they are very bland in my opinion and too much crema? - or maybe just not my style of taco? I have tried the other non-seafood options and have not been impressed. Fresh seafood or bust at this place. read more

I was hungry after school and this place popped up on my search AND it was taco tuesday! They offer 99cent fish tacos on Tuesdays, yum. I came here around 4:30pm and it was pretty busy. There was a line of about 4-5 people in front of me (and quite a few people waiting for their food) but it moved quickly. I ordered 4 fish tacos and 1 aguachiles tostada to-go. The food came out pretty fast considering how many people were waiting. I think I waited 10 min or less. Be warned, its a pretty small space so it can get pretty cramped. They had chiles, lemon, and radish on hand and ready to go. This was one of the things I appreciated the most because at my usual fish taco place, they almost never have chiles and often times even the limes require a refill. The fish tacos were delicious, I would say they're as good as Baja Cali, which is my usual spot. The aguachiles however, were not as good. The shrimp tasted fresh but I did not appreciate the seasoning as much. They use a red sauce instead of green, which is what I typically prefer. It wasn't bad by any means just not what I usually like. Overall, this is a solid place to get some food and I'm sure their other menu items are good too. I would definitely come back and recommend trying their fish tacos. read more

I ordered food they repeated the order and they repeated the order. After, got the order wrong okay, that's fine. We went back and then told them politely and they said it was our fault we supposedly did not specify our order and even though they repeated the order they had the audacity to say it was our fault. This is our last straw they have gotten our order wrong many, many, many, times we have finally said what was bothering us after being polite and kind I hope you can fix this. Thank you very much. read more

What an unbelievable find!!! I got a little bit of everything, fries to snack on to get home which were awesome, carne asada tacos which were incredible 5 out of 5, fish tacos are really good I'd say solid 4.5 out of 5 and one of the best burritos I've ever had the CARNE ASADA BURRITO!! Wow this thing was massive and so flavorful the CARNE ASADA was delicious and cooked so well and seemed like everything in the burrito was layered correctly. Definitely coming back to this place. I think I'm in love. read more

I get take out from here for my family frequently. All of the seafood items are excellent. We love the fish tacos, the ceviche is astounding, the fish soup is a winner, and the burrito mix is a go to for me. My family is always pleased when I bring food from here home. The service is friendly and service is fast. However, I am giving them a four rather than a five because I have been shorted multiple times. Today, I had three bags of food and they left off the second tostado de les tres ceviches. I wasn't feeling that well and just didn't have the energy to check the order. read more
