Two for one deals are available at Tacos Ensenada on Thursdays for select meats: asada, carnitas, pastor, and pollo. Each taco came out to $1.75 pre tax and 4 tacos was $7.72 after tax. Got to try all four and my fav was Asada followed by, surprisingly, pollo. Asada was just solid grilled meat, tender and chewy (which I liked), while pollo was a stewed chicken with great flavor. Usually I'm iffy on chicken since it tends to be dry, but not here. 3% transaction fee for cards. Would highly rec to check them out also on Tuesdays, where the fish taco also has a 2 for 1 deal. read more

My wife and I stopped in to grab something to go as we were in the midst of a long car trip. The skinny on the food: We each ordered a burrito, mine carne asada no rice, hers carnitas no pico-de-gallo. Total tab $24.89. The burritos were huge. They were also delicious. The red salsa is great, the green not so much (and I usually like them the other way around). The only knock on the place is the shrine at the counter honoring Jesus Malverde, the narco-saint. Sure, you can say he was a Robin Hood of his time, and he may very well have been. But lets face facts, he has evolved as the patron saint of narcotics traffickers/dealers/and sellers. The renderings of marijuana on this particular shrine attest to his current meaning in society. So, I assume this restaurant somehow supports drugs and thus I can never return. You can decide on your own where you want to spend your money. read more

The service was fast and helpful the ambiance was pretty cool and food was amazing came out good and fresh, will be coming back

Taco Ensenada in Monrovia is located across from the large plaza with Kohl's and Trader Joe's, with plenty of parking available. I came on Taco Thursday, where they offer a 2-for-1 deal on select meats, including beef, chicken, carnitas, and cabeza. Normally, each taco is $3.39, but with the deal, I got 8 tacos for less than $15. I tried the carnitas and asada, and personally preferred the carnitas. Both were on the salty side, but the self-serve onions and lime helped balance the flavors. I recommend bringing cash since there's a 3% fee for credit card transactions. There weren't too many people, likely because of the rain, so seating was easy to find. The interior is smaller than the Duarte location but has a similar theme. The service was great--quick and friendly. They kept the tables clean and made sure the self-serve station was well-stocked. Overall, the affordability and convenience make this place worth a visit. read more

Fish tacos are better than the meat tacos it's buy 2 for one not sure what that means but you need to buy four to get better price. If you get four you pay about 2.00 a fish taco. I took a picture of the wrong receipt it was for in and out but the fish tacos are from here. For 4 fish tacos it is 8.27. read more

First time here, even though I've driven by this place a few years already, and have been saying I'd check them out! I finally did, and very glad to say it didn't disappoint, despite being a fast food joint! Friendly staff, with a bright and clean restaurant, I found the décor fun and colorful, like a beach spot. I ordered a couple shrimp tacos and a couple buche tacos...I know they are known more for their seafood items, like fish tacos, but I like buche, and wanted to see what this tasted like! My husband ordered a chorizo & egg breakfast burrito, despite this being dinner, LOL. Everything tasted really good, and the portions were healthy as well - the burrito was nice and big, and they didn't hold back on ingredients for the tacos. Their salsas provided had a really good kick, which I appreciated! The buche was not the best I've had, but it was still quite tasty, though a bit more chewy than I liked. I'd stick with their seafood items the next time I come! Other thing I found really cool was the cold storage "fridge" that they kept their cut onions, jalapeños and lime slices...it kept everything cold and covered, and when you opened it, the condiments smelled really delicious, lol. They have little containers and a box with small plastic bags for customers to take. It's a good staple for a sit-down location that's not a food truck! I am looking forward to trying some of their other items when I'm hungry for some seafood! read more

Dodd taste same as other places. But it is freshly made. Unfortunately the place is dirty. Tables, floors, even the condiments area. I ordered no chile, pico de gallo on any of the food. Guacamole on the side for the nachos. Everything had chile and pico de gallo. We couldn't eat it comfortably bc allergic to spices. And had to pick the food. Cheese on nachos was not melted. Barely any meat. Mostly sour cream and cheese. Unfortunately. A big disappointment. Especially Extremely HOT inside! Terrible!! read more

Always fresh, always cooked perfectly, and very affordable. Definitely recommend the fish tacos and the Birria burritos are good also.

My top places for Fish Tacos are: Tacos Ensenada makes my favorite fish tacos, besides my number one spot : Ricky's Fish Tacos (no longer in Los Angeles). My third favorite is Taco Nazo. My husband and I prefer Taco Nazo 's menu offerings better (Ceviche, Seafood Cocktails, Beef/Chicken Tacos/Burritos), but we both agree that the fish tacos here at Tacos Ensenada are very good -maybe a tad better than TN. Fish Tacos here 5 stars/ other stuff we got : shrimp cocktail/chicken tacos 3 stars. Prices here are great! Service polite. Parking available in their private lot. Street parking is nice and safe (it's Monrovia). -Payment: Cash/Card (weird fee). read more

Ok fish taco fans...I came here because the reviews were saying it was better than Taco Nazo! I will say the menu is a mile long so there's definitely more options but the Taco Nazo is still my fave and the large chilli, TN has the spices down! But the fam did love the surf and turf nachos! We'll be back for sure to try other items! read more

I like this quaint little place, located in an original Taco Bell building. The staff is very friendly and the seating is like being in a clean small restaurant in Mexico. They have an extensive menu. I had a taco loaded with shrimp and octopus (very tender) cabbage and sauce, everything blended so flavorfully well. My wife had a carne asada taco. They have a small salsa bar and we both had a chili pepper. I usually have the pepper warm theirs are cold and I enjoyed it being cold. I would have had two tacos instead of one but we wanted something light not to spoil our dinner. I will be back for more. read more

I was really looking forward to trying this place since it's close to my house, but unfortunately it was a big disappointment. The fish tacos were soggy, with barely any cabbage, pico, or crema, leaving them bland and lacking flavor. I also ordered the combo plate, which came with less than a scoop of rice and beans--not even close to a satisfying portion. For $10.99 for the combo and $3.75 for a single fish taco, I expected much better quality and value. Honestly, I've had far better fish tacos in East LA and at Taco Nazo. Definitely not worth the price. read more

I started coming here after hearing about their Tuesday fish taco special, and after that I tried the shrimp tacos, carne asada, and more, everything has been really good. I usually get takeout, and the staff are very nice too. read more

I like this location better than the one in East LA because the battered fish here is bigger. I always have two and that's enough because one fish taco is on two corn tortillas. It was delicious and totally satisfied my appetite. I will be coming back to this location more often. read more

Food is good, good sized portions. Staff are cool. Tables are a little sticky, but I don't mind. It's street food. :)

Ordered a carnitas salad Tues night at 930 pm . Usually go to Baja Cali but they were closed. The lettuce was so crisp and beans creamy. Only complaint was there was little meat but that was ok. Enjoyed it very much. Today I decided to order the salad again but with al pastor. I was so disappointed this time. The meat was overly salty, mushy and greasy. The shocker was..NO lettuce! Not one shread! Landed having to shred my own lettuce and at least 1/2 head because the meat was so salty. The food is good. Price is good. Service is friendly and quick. The quality control in the kitchen is subpar and just needs help. read more

Fish Taco Tuesday Super worth it. I wish they would use a different tortilla but you get what you pay for. This place is really clean and has a bathroom around the back.

Food For the cost of the food; the portions need to be balanced. And the taste consistency is different; on different days and times. I ordered side of guacamole and it's $5 for a tablespoon and a half! Time to cook at home read more

Best marinated Carnitas ever!!!!!!! So good!!! I was surprised at the flavor and quality. I will absolutely come back.

Just wow!!!! Not the friendliest of employees and they don't always get your order right if you ask for say, no pico or try to get picky with your ingredients. BUT.....the food is other worldly!! Despite their shortcomings the food is so good I'm giving them 5 stars. The fish tacos and fish burritos will blow your mind. The red and green salsa are super tasty. Just the right amount of heat. I could eat here daily. It's that good. read more

I used to go to their Duarte location, but this one is closer and more convenient for me. It's located on Huntington Dr. across from Chase. This is a smaller location, but they do have a parking lot. I did not dine in, I ordered 7 fish tacos to go. The young lady taking my order was really nice. My order was ready in less than 10 min. I am disappointed because they no longer have the yellow peppers. Now they have seasoned jalapeños. I asked the young lady taking my order, and she said they only have those. They were good, but fish tacos do not taste the same with jalapeños. The tacos were cold (did not taste all that great), which is weird because I always get them to go, and they're always warm when I get home. Next time, I'll double-check before I leave the restaurant to make sure they're warm. Also, the cebolla curtida is a must try! Make sure you get some. It's really good. read more

You can't beat tacos 2X1! Tuesday's are fish taco and Thursdays are a few of the meat tacos! Never been for the meats, just the fish! My go to on Tuesday's after the gym. Lol! Service is quick, but the sauce bar only has chili, onions and limes. Not the yellow chili's either. It's the jalapeños. Boo. We also didn't get salsa with our order? Do they not come with the tacos? Extra salsa is 50 cents. Well... you can't beat six fish tacos for about $10! read more

Again, taco Tuesday is a win! Food: -carne asada fries this time: the fries seemed seasoned (which i loooove) and still had some crispy fries despite the amount of toppings added on! The meat is in chunks which I do like, but there were a few pieces that were just endlessly chewy and didn't go down (this might be my preference, so please take that into account). The toppings were a looot: guac, pico de gallo, red sauce, and cheese-- mmm!! Would definitely get this again :) -fish taco Tuesdays: we got 5 and they were tasty!! We got them topped off this time cause we wanted the whole thing and the sauce, pico, fish (not soggy) and warm tortilla was very worth it! Service: -we to goed again and i think it was still a sorta lengthy line, but! We got the food faster this time and with nothing missing-- woo! Overall: Taco Tuesday, we'll back tacos ensenada!! read more

This is now our go to place to get fish taco. Super good and cheap on Tuesday night! Just watch for the line. It gets busy around 6pm, but if you come after 7, it gets better. so time your visit accordingly read more

I love fish and shrimp tacos and I'm glad there's a Tacos Ensenada in Monrovia. It has a parking lot and I always find a spot. So far, I've tried the Baja tacos. They're huge! Only 1-2 with fill you up. I usually get a large shrimp ceviche as well. One time, it came with two tostadas and another, I didn't get any. So I'm not sure if it's suppose to but it always comes with crackers. It's very refreshing especially during the hot summers. Their jamaica is tasty to go along with your meal. Definitely would order more items on the menu. Bring cash as last time I went, they charge a little for using card. read more

Was around the area and stumbled upon this place, so decided to try it out. I ordered 2 fish tacos, an asada burrito, and a shrimp burrito. My favorite was the fish taco. It was so soft with a bit of crunch. The white sauce on top was the star of this item. The asada burrito was also very good and the meat was very tender and juicy. I wasn't too big of a fan of the shrimp burrito. There was too much batter on the shrimp. So it didn't go too well with the burrito as it was tasted like too much carbs. The food were also very cheap here! Spent only around $25 for everything I ordered. Would come back again for their fish tacos!! read more
