Best Baja style Fish tacos. If you're looking for the best Baja-style fish tacos, look no further! These tacos are everything you could want--crispy, golden-battered fish, fresh toppings, and a perfectly balanced creamy sauce. The fish is light, flaky, and fried to perfection, giving that satisfying crunch with every bite. The toppings? Spot on. A crisp cabbage slaw, fresh pico de gallo, and a drizzle of tangy, slightly spicy crema that ties everything together beautifully. And let's not forget the tortillas--warm, soft, and just the right amount of chewiness to hold everything without falling apart. Place is small, staff is nice, service is fast, and parking is tight.
Got 2orders grill fish combos to Go and always good. please try this place. Never disappointed.
Ensenada's Surf N Turf always hits the spot whenever I'm craving fish tacos. My friends and I used to always come on Wednesday's for their fish taco deals after class since it's right next to CSUF. The fish strip is always massive and fried to perfection. The toppings they add complement it very well. And the best part is their yellow chilies (non spicy) paired with the tacos. I will mention, there were a couple times where the fish wasn't crispy, but 90% of the time they come out crispy and flavorful. Although they are right next to a university, they do have a good amount of parking for customers. Fish taco: 9.2/10 Price: $ Ambiance: 7.5/10
Taco Tuesday!!! What an amazing concept. And this place does not disappoint. You have a variety of options to choose from and at a good price. They have plenty of free peppers, hot sauces and salsas. There is this strange cabbage, lettuce and onions/peppers concotion that is spicy as hell, but good. I thought 4 tacos would suffice. The portions are so big, i was filled up on just two. The barbacoa, asada, and pastor for the win. Come here hungry and leave full. The food comes out in 5-10 minutes even with a big crowd. This taco tuesday spot does not disappoint and i will continue to keepcoming back. A+++
Delicious Fresh, Friendly and Clean The atmosphere is very nice a lot of choices. The restrooms are clean as well. We also have options to sit outside. It's a must try if you are a Ceviche lover well I guess I'll see you another day
I'm a huge fan of their grilled fish tacos. I recommend these over the fried ones. They load em with generous amount of fish and it tastes so fresh! I've tried much of their menu and nothing beats the grilled fish tacos for me. I also love their self-serve yellow chilis, they're even better with lime squeezed over em. If you see them bring out a fresh tray, grab those ones because they're amazing when still hot!
I really liked: Ensenada Burrito I liked: Shrimp Quesadilla This burrito is huge and pretty #goodeats. Quesadilla needs something. It's a little too plain and the hot sauces they provided didn't complement it well enough. Service was fairly fast and they even provided me foil wrap when I couldn't finish the monster burrito I had. For a Baja restaurant this is pretty standard. Plenty of tables and colorful walls.
FOOD (5/5): *MUST TRY* $6 BREADED FISH TACOS: obviously the best taco option here by far. It's perfectly crispy, flavorful, and doesn't need anything added. $17 CALLO (scallop) COCKTAIL: scallops tasted fresh and I loved the cocktail sauce! Great with the crackers and I liked it with the toastada, but I'm not sure if it came with toastada or that was purely for my shrimp cocktail? $7 SHRIMP CEVICHE TOASTADA: small portion, but a great appetizer! It's more citrusy than the cocktail, but just depends what you're in the mood for. I equally liked both! SERVICE (4/5): They are fairly quick, even during peak hours. Just know it's a seat yourself & serve yourself kinda place. AMBIANCE (4/5): It's a fast casual restaurant. Order at the cashier, then sit down anywhere you'd like. You have to pickup your food at the counter. OVERALL (4/5): I absolutely LOVE this place! It's so unassuming and it's probably underrated. For the price point to the quality of the food you cannot beat this place! If you're in the area, give it a try and I promise you won't be disappointed. MUST TRY BREADED FISH TACOS.
