Mariscos el Coyote

The 22 Best Restaurants in Ensenada, Mexico | Eater San Diego

"For nearly three decades Joaquín “El Coyote” has been serving up top-quality shellfish, Ensenada-style ceviche, and seafood cocktails loaded with a variety of seafood at the peak of freshness. Tostadas spread with finely chopped tuna ceviche are delicious on their own, but the local fashion is to add chopped shrimp, sea snail, or local clams on top. Look for briny oysters, umami-rich blood clams, known a pata de mula, and luxury clams like chocolata, pismo, or reina, either au natural, or prepared with diced red onion, cucumber, tomato, lime juice, and cilantro, plus salsas. This is also the place to go for seafood cocktails made with a light but flavorful cocktail sauce that highlights the seafood." - Bill Esparza
