The best fish tacos! Light and fluffy battered fish, fresh taco shells, crunchy cabbage and zangy salsa. Not super cheap but not expensive (about 2 per taco). I had to go back for seconds!
Best fish tacos in ensenada. Don't even think about it.
Small taco stand which is a block from tacos el fenix. I had the order of 5 fish tacos and just that little preparation they make for you before you add sauce makes this location way better than tacos el fenix in my opinion. The shrimp tacos had more flavor in the batter; unfortunately, my stomach could only hold so much since I could have probably gotten another 5. I would say check this place out, tacos el fenix is good but I think would go to this place instead.
Great tasting food! Had 2 fish, 1 shrimp taco. Tastes better with the red hot sauce as pictured. First time here, can't wait to eat here again! Fresh, tasty, filling. Not small like at other places. I was here at 7pm when it slowed down a little ( not when pictured lots of people). Paid 495 in pesos for 4 people
Our last Baja Fish taco experience was upon us and we had a list of three different taco stands from Taco Chronicles that we wanted to try in Ensenada. Since they are steps apart we planned to do them all in one night, 3 stands, 1 fish and 1 shrimp taco at each! Here’s how it went: Tacos Floresta: This stand had the best vibes but maybe it’s because a guitar busker was there, setting the scene with a mournfully beautiful mariachi song. Or maybe because we had a funny conversation with the locals about the range in heat on the salsa bar. There was also Jamaica (ruby red dried hibiscus juice) to refresh the palate with. I didn’t see the habanero/onion slaw that I love (in little amounts) but there was still a good amount of salsa bar and crema options.
A local recommend this place. Delicious fish and shrimp street tacos. We were on a cruise and decided to walk there. It's a small place with no seating. They're very friendly. You play AFTER you eat, which is very surprising. I think it's cash only.
Perfectly breaded and seasoned. The oil they fry in is always clean and service is great. These are, without a doubt, the best shrimp and fish tacos in Baja.
A Multi-generational, Family owned taco stand for 48 years. The fish tacos are always fresh and absolutely delicious! I have been coming here from northern CA, for their fish tacos, for 33 years.
