" I was slightly disappointed with my visit. While I found the service to be on par with my expectations, the food didn't quite hit the mark for me this time. The flavors seemed muted, especially in the ceviche, which is typically my go-to order. However, I must say that the ambiance remained lively and clean, which I appreciated. I think I might give it another shot in the future, as I’ve had better experiences before. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Mariscos Ensenada was a culinary delight. From the moment we arrived, the friendly staff made us feel like family. The menu featured a variety of seafood dishes that exude authenticity. I had the mariscada, and every bite was packed with fresh flavors. The fish was cooked to perfection, without any hint of fishiness! The atmosphere was vibrant with families enjoying their meals, making it a great place for gatherings. I can’t wait to go back and try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Mariscos Ensenada, I am impressed by the consistency in quality and taste. The layers of flavor in their shrimp tacos are simply unmatched anywhere else. I particularly enjoy the ambiance, which feels casual yet inviting. The staff is friendly, and I appreciate their prompt service. The salsa bar is a must-visit; the homemade salsas elevate every dish! The only downside is the sometimes limited music selection, but that doesn't detract from the dining experience. I'll definitely return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Mariscos Ensenada based on recommendations, but my experience fell short of being remarkable. While the service was friendly and attentive, the flavor profiles in my lobster taco were lacking. It had good texture, but without enough seasoning to elevate the dish. The atmosphere, albeit casual and welcoming, couldn't make up for the food quality. It's a shame because I've heard so many good things, and I was eager for an exceptional culinary adventure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited recently and was blown away! The beachfront vibe with soccer on the TVs added to the experience. I sat down to a plate of delicious ceviche, and it was the light meal I needed on a sunny day. The waitstaff was sweet and made sure my needs were met. My only grievance was that my friend found a hair in his dish, which was unfortunate, but the management handled it well. This is certainly a place I'll recommend to all my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a long-time fan of seafood, I can proudly say that Mariscos Ensenada delivers incredible dishes that are both authentic and flavorful! I particularly enjoyed their camarones al mojo de ajo, which were succulent and perfectly seasoned. The staff is consistently friendly, and they ensure that every guest feels welcomed. Though the restaurant can get busy, there's always a cheerful atmosphere due to the sports on TV. I’m definitely coming back for more seafood feasts! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had a delightful dinner at Mariscos Ensenada. The kids loved the shrimp tacos, and I was impressed with my grilled fish. The staff were incredibly sweet and attentive, ensuring our beverages and needs were met. The prices were reasonable given the portion sizes. We will have to visit again soon to try out more of their enticing menu offerings! " (*Curated Review*)
