    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.

    Ignore recipe I put the wrong one. 4 fish tacos for 8.27

    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.

    I was in the area from Palmdale and hungry, as you can see lol I couldn't decide because everything looked so good and it was! I ate up everything and it was very tasteful I'm no chef, just a SoCal Realtor but I would recommend

    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!

    Fish Taco Combo. Delicious and very reasonably priced.

    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).

    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!

    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.

    We travel almost 30miles the best ceviche tostadas and shrimp tacos!

    The food is delicious! The ceviche tostadas are perfect and the shrimp tacos are soft and crunchy with the best salsa.

    Shrimp Quesadilla was yummy! I think the shrimp was well-seasoned making the quesadilla flavorful. The restaurant is small, but fine for your lunch break. Staff expectation was standard; nothing to complain or rave about.

    Shrimp and Octopus taco

    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.

    Please get someone new to take orders, this lady takes forever. Waste of time. Bring someone from the other restaurants.

    The tacos were blah. I've had better tacos elsewhere. The service was good, but I won't be coming back.

    Would not recommend because we received ice cold fish tacos that were not fresh like they were sitting in the refrigerator.
