The best fish tacos I've had in my life! I don't particularly like fish/seafood but these were divine! The salsa bar was good, service was fast and the staff were kind. Gets very busy, but worth the wait. read more

I took a cruise, and got off the ship in Ensenada. I called an Uber for Tacos Fenix and when we got here, I knew it wasn't the right Fenix I was looking for. (It was close, about a block away.) Anyways...decided to try this place out. Ordered a fish taco. They come naked and you top them yourself. Solid fish taco! Big piece of crispy fish, good hot salsa. I would definitely come back. About as good, if not better than the other "Fenix". read more

The tacos were delicious and perfectly fried. The options of salsas was for every taste... super hot to mild. Service was quick, but they took my half empty soda because you need to get up to order your tacos. I didn't complain. The tostada was a bit creamy for my taste. Worth standing up and eating if you cant find a place to sit. But that is very typical. Totally worth a try. read more

The fish tacos at Tacos Mi Ranchito El Fénix were the best I had in Enseneda (7/18/22). The shrimp tacos were good too, but fish was far superior. The batter on both was just perfect... light oil. Good, strong corn tortillas. The tacos are served plain. so you may fix them up to your liking at the counter where you pick up your order. They have cabbage, radishes, limes, salsas, and mayonnaise. They have their own women's and men's restrooms. Limited street parking, so you may have to walk a bit. Outdoor shaded patio was also available. Service was no non-sense, but friendly as well. They have all kinds of other seafood here... my neighbors to my right were gushing on about the oysters. ¡TACOS DE PESCADOS POR VIDA! read more

An absolute must to try when in Ensenada! The ladies here are quick with your meal. Within seconds, you're stuffing your face with a fish taco. Don't forget about all the dressing on top you can choose from. There's this chipotle looking sauce there with peppers inside. BEWARE it is super spicy but delicious! We also went to a taco truck Taco Fénix nearby. This place has really good shrimp and their batter is much more flavorful. However, I am a huge fan of Fenix's fish. Both amazing. Definitely try both when you're there. Service is quick. The sauces and toppings you put on after are all lined up at the bar. I recommend red onion, pico, crema, chipotle sauce and some hot sauce. Outdoor restaurant with local vibes. A MUST! read more

Still dreaming about the tacos. Worth the trek outside the tourist areas. Only downside is limited seating. read more

Not what I was expecting. Was hoping for some thing phenomenal but I was underwhelmed. Speaking strictly on the tacos themselves, it is a build your own fish taco type of deal. You get the fried fish on a corn tortilla and you put the cabbage - salsa and whatever else on it that you want. I personally would prefer crispy fish tacos, but they weren't. The sauces and white sauce. All were good, the cabbage and salsa was fresh. The prices are good, how about $1.50 per taco. The ceviche tostada was not good. Did not like it at all. The big downside on this trip was that they forgot to make our order, I had to ask multiple times where the food was and finally I spoke in Spanish and they got a little embarrassed, I would recommend that I probably wouldn't go back read more

Good fish tacos but BOY, we're they spicy. Not sure where the spice came from but it was overwhelming. I admit, I can't handle a lot of spice but even people I was with were feeling the heat. It overpowered the taste. These didn't satisfy fish taco craving, we actually went to another place. Oh, also trued the ceviche, it was really good, with avocado! (No spice) read more

I'm not sure I want to post this as I think I should gate-keep, but this place is everything Tacos el Fenix is only with the added benefit of not having to worry about finding parking and so much more room to eat, you can even sit here. The taste is exactly the same if not better, and their menu options are more. I've been going to the other one my whole life, but I'm switching to this one. read more

My spot for seafood tacos. THE AMBIANCE: Corner eatery. Open air. Bar seating on stools and table seating on the side. Street parking. THE FOOD: I like their tacos de camaron (shrimp) a little more than the fish tacos. Both are delicious. The seafood is fresh, the tortillas are good, and the breading is a family recipe. Now I want one!!! I always recommend this place to friends. read more

God damnit, fish tacos are sooooo good, and if you like them wherever you normally go, you will undoubtedly be in heaven eating them at this place. Prices are very reasonable, and the ladies working here are always ready to make you more if you feel the need to scarf some more down. I love how easy it is to order food and relax with a drink in Mexico, and this place is a prime example of it, but with AMAZING fish tacos. It's always nice to have all of the toppings and sides right in front of you, and I remember the green sauce being super super spicy, but I couldn't get enough of it. Every topping went so well with it. I'll be back! read more

It's okay not bad. Good service. Been here like 4 times. Nothing special though. Tried 4 different dishes. They do have a variety of plates.

Stopped by on a Sunday morning for some Fish Tacos. Yelp had the nearby Tacos el Fenix taco cart rates higher but this location had far more locals eating so we made a detour. The cashier told us both locations were owned by the same person so we figured we made the right decision. This location had a better salsa set-up, more chairs & bar stools and bathrooms. Fried fish tacos were delicious. My cousin who is a self proclaimed Taco connoisseur, label these the best fish tacos he's ever eaten. I'd recommend this location over the higher rated taco cart a few blocks away. read more

When I recently visited Ensenada for my Boyfriend's birthday, he is a big fan of fish tacos. We tried several spots and this one was our favorite! The fish taco was seasoned perfectly along with all the sauces. We also tried the other three spots that are near this corner, again, this one was our favorite! read more

Not true, they were not open. We walked almost a mile to find closed before 10pm on a Friday

Best fish and shrimp tacos. The first day we went to Tacos Fenix just a few blocks away. We were addicted but wanted to try their other location. This location is not a mobile stand, it's an actually standalone location with proper seating and counter. The tacos are the same, A+ in both locations. Enjoy and you are welcome for the recommendation :) read more

They alright good enough to eat.! Hit it up you do the challenge. The price is good but the food is average. Nothing to call home about.!

Funny how I found this place. The taco shop I wanted to try was closed so the uber driver took me here. I ordered one shrimp and one fish taco and they were both so good!!!!!!! The batter was so light and crunchy. Be careful with one of the toppings because it's spicy AF! I almost fainted after my second taco and chugged a refreshing hibiscus drink in 10 second to cool my mouth down. read more

Best fish and shrimp tacos I have found in Ensenada MX. Arguably the best anywhere!!! Better than even the best local spots in LA (Taco Nazo, Tacos Baja Ensenada etc). Crispy fresh locally caught fish and inexpensive too. Throw on some salsa bandera and crema and you should be all good to go! Warning: one of the house salsas has quite the kick so plz sample before trying. Random location but completely worth the stop when passing through Ensenada. read more

Tacos Mi Ranchito El Fénix - Prepping the fry - Tacos Near Me - Ensenada, BCN

BEWARE of the green salsa! It is not your typical mild salsa verde... it will set your mouth on fire... but delicious in small doses! I tried both the fish and the shrimp tacos and loved both... but if I had to only choose one again on my next visit, I would choose the shrimp. This is a cute little storefront off the beaten path, but so worth the trip. Lots of toppings options like others have noted... cabbage, pico de gallo, limes, crema, red salsa, salsa verde... all sorts of delicious accompaniments. Not sure I'll be able to eat fish/shrimp tacos again in SD. I am craving this taco stand right now! read more

We found this place on yelp, ventured off the tourist and party areas on Ensenada, and found some traditional seafood tacos! There are about four ladies who run this place very efficiently. A couple of them serve, one runs the cash register, and another chops veggies and refills salsas, crema, and other toppings. They have a number of toppings from super spicy habanero quacamole, pico de gallo, cabbage, herbed onions, crema, and many more. We got fish and shrimp tacos. The tortillas and a majority of all tortillas in Mexico have the look and taste of home made tortillas, so delicious. The batter on the seafood was really good. There wasn't really a need to add much but it did make it better to pile on all the additions. Watch out for the guacamole, it has habaneros and it super spicy but tastes great. We tried the horchata and is so much different from what you find in the US, it's not too sweet taste great and is refreshing. We had a really good meal for $10. This place is extremely affordable and worth venturing out to. Later on we ran into a local who we told we are here and she was very excited and recommended this place. If locals love it you know it's a win! read more

I made the trip down to Ensenada for this very reason. I didn't eat all day and even worked out to build up the appetite for these fish tacos. They are amazing!! I love them. I'm sad that there isn't anything like this in LA. I've had Ricky's and it's great but believe me this is another level of delicious! Food Awesome mix it up get some fish and some shrimp. If you are starving you can eat as many as 6 but start with 1 each and see what you like. I like them both equally Service Super fast!! Your order is ready in seconds and the people are very sweet Location Parking is tough here but about a block down you can get a spot. Very clean and setup is great to serve several people. Price Posted a pic of prices, super cheap and you are getting so much for your money. I would twice as much for this back home. The tacos are less than $1 American... What a steal!!!! Extra Sauces are great spicy but that's how I like it! read more

Hello to all, been here a couple of time and have never had this experience, but this Friday around 430pm me and the wife stop by to get some of their fish and shrimp tacos, 1-place look dirty and lazy, noticed the trash on the floor, on the tables, on the counter and the salsa tubs look all messy and empty and what ever was left was all saggy. 2- I ask and always ask for my fish/shrimp tacos to be well done/crispy from any shop, the 1st taco was not crispy, I notice they were just laying on the drip rack ( not sure how long they have been sitting there) and also the tortilla was HALF ASS warm fell apart on my first bite,,on my 2nd taco I ask the lady to heat up my tortilla well done, and my shrimp to be done well also,,she did not give a shit,,,she gave me the same crap as the 1st taco, saggy and fell apart at my first bite too, so did not get any more, and don't think I will be going there any more or maybe not this late in the day,,,cause it suck big time, there was 4-5 customer and there was also 4-5 employee's and the place look like shit. read more

Yes, the tacos are good, but I'm giving this only 3 stars because out of all the places I've been to in Ensenada, this was the only one where I sensed a rudeness toward Americans. Not only that, but the woman at the cash register shorted us change. I paid in pesos and was supposed to get 5 pesos back, but she only handed me the taco tickets and nothing else. I was distracted and didn't notice right away so I let it go. Same thing happened to my friend who paid in USD. So pay attention, and call them out on that crap because that's not okay. It's rude. This is the second time I've been here (I accidentally reviewed the cart instead of the stand last time), and I don't remember them being rude last time. I noticed it from the woman handing me the tacos too. The locals were kind though, so that helped. And the food is delicious which is why I'm still giving 3 stars. I've been to Ensenada many times, and have only experienced graciousness from the locals so this is not typical. How about an attitude adjustment, El Fenix? And stop shorting us change! ¡No está bien! read more

Simply the best fish tacos I've ever had were at Tacos Mi Ranchito El Fenix in Ensenada. Both the fish & shrimp were delicious with a crispy/tasty batter, fresh out of the fryer. All the toppings were great, but their salsas were the bomb. The green salsa was HOT and I'm not talking "white people hot." My wife was laughing at me because my lips turned a burning red from eating so much of that devilish concoction. IMO, it's worth the trip off the beaten path to find this Baja gem. read more

Tacos Mi Ranchito El Fénix - Fish & shrimp tacos with cabbage, mayonesa, and both green/red salsas. - Tacos Near Me - Ensenada, BCN

I am not a fish taco noob! I ate at Ricky's in LA, where my sister lives. OK OK, I'm a total East Coast fish taco noob, but that was my previous highest fish taco mountain summit. NO MORE! Tacos Mi Ranchito El Fenix is the new Fish tacos King, in my book anyway. The fluffiness, the fluffiness, how could something fried make me remember it as golden, light, airy, fluffy. The stand itself is perfect on a well traveled corner, with comfortable and convenient bar stools and tables. The whole time I stood at the specialized circular fish and shrimp fryer watching the cooks golden touch, wagging my tongue and licking my chops like a bull dog at a butchershop. It would be pretty easy to stand there forever, if you ask me. What's that? Sun is dying? ONE MORE SHRIMP TACO, PLEASE. read more

These are hands down the best fish (and shrimp) tacos in Ensenada, probably anywhere as far as I'm concerned and it's hard to believe they'll only set you back about $1!! Add some shredded cabbage, white sauce, fresh pico and you're good to go. We had lunch here two days in a row on a recent trip. I can't wait to go back. My mouth waters just thinking about them! Wash them down with an ice cold glass bottle of coke. read more

Tacos are yummy but THE SAUCES ARE SUPER I mean it. If you have low tolerance to spicy food then sample and add the spice. The tacos are delicious . I would rate the shrimp better than the fish but tacos are delicious. Everything is a dollar. Tip: keep a coke handy. read more
