The 22 Essential Restaurants in Ensenada, Mexico

"Chef Melissa Navarro offers her take on the traditional barra fria and barra caliente (cold and hot bars). That means fresh Baja oysters and clams with simple garnishes, but also battered oysters stained by squid ink, oyster croquettes, and kumamoto oyster shots. Order the duela de ostiones (oysters on a plank), a flight of six stunning oysters, both fresh and cooked, that exhibit impressive contrasts in technique and dressings. Then order the grilled octopus quesatacos with a sauvignon blanc, along with the fruity ceviche tropical for the table, paired with a light Mexican rosé. Slurp oysters in the sunny, industrial dining space, and toast the chef for this perfect late-afternoon break." - Bill Esparza

Everything in the menu is really goof here, my only one complain would be the portion size, steak portion is too small (personal opinion) really good but small. If you’re all about protein intake and all of that make sure you order at least a good appetizer otherwise you’ll be hungry haha. But I do recommend this place, customer service is great.

Crema de Almeja y Crema de Almeja bread bowl was excellent. The Ostiones were mediocre. The Sashimi de Atún, Ceviche de Callo y Camarón, y Lobina were way too salty. Not able to eat, inedible. Was going to complain, but was afraid you would not understand English or misunderstand or misinterpret. Extremely disappointed. The Corazón de Filete Mignon was very good, but also a little salty. It appears the chef likes salt in everything. Even the arroz that came with the Lobina was too salty and I could not eat it. I hope I can be compensated somehow for paying for an expensive meal that was horrible.

I’m not sure if it’s fair to rate the food as my comparable experience in other premium steakhouses is in the Los Angeles area. I must say, though that the menu is extensive and there’s a lot of excellent selections. In terms of food, I feel that there’s a little bit too much sauces in the food. That’s just a personal preference my biggest pet peeve that I hate when I order a rare steak and they brought me out a medium at best. Now if you were a steakhouse, you better get this request right immediately. In most cases I would send the steak back, but I was in Mexico and maybe Mexicans did not eat rare steak? My plate was about $50 so it wasn’t cheap in Mexican standards and I would say that although steak was a decent cut, I would place an almost at a diner/corporate restaurant level rather than an actual steakhouse. And I was disappointed for the main course. The atún sashimi appetizer had way too many onions and capers and sauce, which took away from the fresh taste of the sashimi. Again, I’m using Los Angeles standards versus Baja standards. As a comparable, I would say that it’s an excellent steakhouse for the Ensenada area. As far as service, I must say that they were on point and made up for the subpar meal experience. It was absolutely excellent, our waiter and the team were very attentive. The dining room was OK, a little clustered and our neighbors decided to hire the five piece roving musicians which didn’t allow for more of a private one to one experience with my wife since they were pretty loud. Again, this is Mexico, but if I wanted to hang out next to a five piece live band while I’m eating, I’d go to another restaurant on the tourist strip. The outside patio area, which is named something different seen more lively. Would I come here again? yes. Would I order the same things? Most likely but I definitely would be more in tune with the menu on how the steak is prepared and giving them directions to not add so much sauce.

The best and only well cooked steak I have eaten in Ensenada. A perfect fillet mignon, I am not a fan of blue cheese but their blue cheese tower is amazing and I drive all the way to Mexico to eat here. Outstanding Customer service

This place is delicious! I’m so glad we came here and tbh the only reason I picked this place was because it was available on opentable. We had nowhere to go for New Year’s Eve and when I found a table available I snapped it right then and there. The food was amazing!! We had the scallop and shrimp ceviche, the queso fundido with chistorra, rib eye, arrachera and shrimp linguini - seriously I was so full but I didn’t care I just gobbled everything up! The best part of it all was that my husband lost his wallet that night - it fell from his jacket and we went the next day and found it there!! I’m so grateful for honest people :) thank you so much!
