" My family tried Ensenada last weekend, and we are still talking about it! The design of the restaurant is warm, inviting, and has a beachy feel. We ordered a mix of dishes, including the Aguachile and the entire lobster, which simply stole the show! I must say, the seafood is not just good; it’s absolutely fresh and flavorful, reminding us of our coastal vacations in Mexico. Service was friendly, but there was a bit of a wait for our food. Would still highly recommend it to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely blown away by my experience at Ensenada! The ambiance is lively and beautiful, perfect for a night out. We started with the chips and salsa, and I have to say, the variety of salsas made this dish even better! For the main course, I ordered the whole fish 'al pastor,' and my partner had the shrimp tacos. Both were fantastic—fresh, well-seasoned, and so flavorful! The service was friendly, though a bit slow at times. Overall, I can't wait to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been excited to try Ensenada after hearing so much about it, and I finally made it! The vibe is fantastic—colored lights, upbeat music, and a friendly staff that really made me feel welcome. The fish tacos lived up to the hype; fresh fish with crispy batter! I also tried the ceviche, which was refreshing and delicious, though I found the portion size a bit on the smaller side, especially for the price. Despite that, I left happy and will certainly return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Ensenada recently, and let me just say, it was a great experience overall. The atmosphere is chic and lively, making it perfect for socializing. We tried a range of dishes—including their highly recommended brunch menu. While the tacos were delicious, I felt the patatas bravas were a tad overcooked. Regardless, I'd surely plan on coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" We came to Ensenada to celebrate a birthday, and it turned out to be a superb choice! The staff made us feel special from the get-go and offered the perfect suggestions for our meal. I can't rave enough about the rich, flavorful aguachile—it was divine! Oh, and the drinks were equally impressive. A refreshing experience; I will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ensenada has an incredibly inviting ambiance that instantly makes you feel welcome. I visited with friends and loved our selection of items. The fish tacos were undoubtedly the highlight—fresh fish with wonderful traditional spices! However, I think prices could be a touch more affordable for the portion sizes. Overall, a lovely evening out and I would return again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Currently on my way home from another delightful dinner at Ensenada! We had a bit of a wait for a table, but honestly, it’s worth it. The atmosphere is energetic yet relaxed. I ordered their famed fish tacos—they did not disappoint, and the portions are generous. Heard rave reviews about the hibiscus pie, and I’m so glad I tried it. An unforgettable experience!
