Dog friendly, they have a few outdoor tables that can get a bit dusty, but still nice. Burritos: We got a few breakfast burritos with sausage and bacon. These are huge. No one was able to even finish half of one in one sitting. A lady makes the tortillas by hand, and you can watch while you wait. My only gripe with these tasty burritos is the volume of potatoes. Tons, tons of potatoes. Carnitas: We ordered a kilo to take back to the house. Good, extremely tender, but better crisped up in oil to get those tasty bits. Came with tortillas and salsas that were also good. Tacos: Crispy shell carne asada, quite full of meat, and meat all crisped the way I like it. Very tasty tacos. Chilaquiles: Excellent! I am a huge fan of green chilaquiles, and these did not disappoint. Over easy eggs, beans, lots of cheese, sliced onion. Awesome! The bar: Yes, they have a full bar attached. Very good margaritas, super cold beer, very good bloody marys... A round of four drinks was ten dollars. Yes. Ten dollars. This place has an extensive menu, all cash only, so bring dinero. They accept US dollars. Service is very friendly.

It's made to be a quick in-and-out experience. There's only a few tables, so if you come during a rush period, you may have to take those tacos to go. Definitely recommend this spot for your next TJ visit.

Beware of This Bar!…read more Initially, I liked this bar and had fun the several times I visited and stayed at a VRBO close to the bar. Until I didn't....... Someone who worked there as a bartender stole my phone. I tracked my phone which was inside the bar, and it rang from behind the bar. When I confronted the employee/son of the owner, he threw me out and slammed the door in my face. The bar caters to an older crowd, with an average age of 50-75. Despite the crowd, no one helped me even when they heard my phone ping. I went to the gate guard for assistance, but he also refused to help. I even asked him in fluent Spanish to call the police, but he declined. Watch your belongings here! Also, when confronted, they just throw customers out. They also charge a 5% tax on the bill without informing you. The food is microwaved and basic, definitely not worth it. I suspect the booze is watered down too. The DJ, who seemed to be around 80 years old, was trying his best to keep up. Later that night, after contacting the property manager of the house I rented, I heard a thud in the backyard of my rental and found my phone there. Very suspicious, but at least I got it back. You'd think they'd cater to guests and younger crowds, but they only price gouge tourists. I won't be spending my money here again, and I suggest others steer clear of this establishment.

We were told that this was not a tourist spot but a place frequented by locals. The menu was simple, shrimp or fish tacos. They actively fry the food in front of you, so you know it's fresh. Then you have a plethora of toppings and various sauces to dress your tacos. Most people are standing when they're eating. Luckily we scored a table, which is one of three. Ambiance is unassuming, much like many of the street tacos stands in Ensenada. Love the freshness and variety of toppings. Definitely a place to check out when you're in Ensenada.

One waiter working the whole restaurant. There was a sign out front that said "cash only" which was odd. We followed up and they said we could still pay with a card. We started with drinks which were watered down. Then a Mexican combo plate and fish tacos. The fish tacos was fried halibut, not grilled, topped with just lettuce and a spoonful of guacamole. The Mexican combo was a taco chili relleno and a cheese enchilada. Both came with rice and beans which were bland. The side salad was equally disappointing with a romaine leaf, cucumber tomato and papaya. The blue cheese dressing was from Smart & Final. The only good thing was the Mexican coffee that came with the meal. It's sad to see what La Fonda has become with its history and was once considered the best restaurants in the area.

Luckily, I got there just before the rush and was seated quickly. The location has an amazing vibe, especially as it begins to fill up. The food was amazing!! The Cafe de Olla was some of the best that I have ever had. It is perfectly seasoned with cinnamon and requires no additional sugar or milk to be thoroughly enjoyed. Next comes the chips and salsa. The chips were crunchy and salted, while the salsa was actually spicy. Far too often, salsa has no spice, and this was fantastic. While we were waiting for our orders, we were offered the chance to order a taco, and I decided to try the carnitas taco. WOW. The flavor profile was insane. The carnitas were juicy, but the exterior was lightly smoked and toasty, which paired with the lime and toppings was very pleasant. My main was the Borrego Tatemado. It was phenomenal! The meat was very juicy, and the side sauce (Consomme) was some of the best I ever had. The restaurant does an amazing job of making this place feel like I am eating homemade food at a relative's.

By far with some of the most reasonable prices to the size and portions. I usually start with a tip for the taquero before I order. We indulged in carne asada (6) this time with 1 suadero, 1 cabesa and 1 adobado also known as al pastor The winner most definitely was the carne asada. With the winner, winner being the quesataco asada. They add cilantro, onions, guacamole and your chile of choice. We always opt for the HOTTER option they call the birria chile which is a darker red color. They bring you slices of limes, cucumbers and radishes. Parking is right in front with a security guiding traffic. They are open super late and have two on the main road. We often prefer the one closer to all the night life and action because it's larger. They recently remodeled their bathrooms so they are CLEAN and usable. Yay!

La Fonda, I'm not coming back!…read more I've been coming to La Fonda for over 20 years. It used to be a truly special place -- full of charm, good food, and atmosphere. Unfortunately, over the years it has steadily gone downhill. These days, I only come out of nostalgia. My visit last night convinced me it's time to stop trying. On a Friday evening the restaurant was nearly empty, the margaritas were watered down and tasteless, the food was bland, and the service was mediocre at best. Prices remain high, but the quality and experience no longer justify them. It's really sad to see what has become of this once-iconic Baja landmark. Sitting at the gateway to the Valle de Guadalupe, one of Mexico's great culinary destinations, you'd think they would take inspiration from what's happening around them. Sadly, they haven't. La Fonda, I'm not coming back.
