Love it. Excellent fish tacos. Meat tacos are good too. Grilled shrimp burritos are awesome. Really like their salsa roja, got a good heat and a decent flavor but also isn't overpowering any of the flavors of whatever you're eating. Also that seafood sauce is bomb

Best prices on Tuesday and Thursday during taco special price days. I like their fish taco Tuesday best. The fish strips are a decently sized, properly seasoned crunchy and still tender.

I haven't tried the entire menu, but I have tried a lot and so far everything is good. Fish tacos are fantastic, all the meat tacos are great too. Nachos is always a family favorite as well. Condiment bar is awesome with roasted chilis, onions, and lime. Their red and green salsa are so tastey as well. I frequent this small chain. They have daily specials too!

5 star tacos, period. This place is always full, there is always a line, and there are always people waiting for take away. The service is great and friendly, prices are reasonable. Highly recommended, I love it.

Let's dive into a cozy little gem in town, Tacos Ensenada. This spot may seem small at first glance, with only three tables tucked inside, which does make it a bit snug. It's perhaps more suited for grabbing a bite on the go, especially since one of the tables seems more like a spot for waiting on takeout rather than dining in. But don't let that deter you; the charm of this place lies beyond just the seating arrangement. For those taco enthusiasts among us, Tacos Ensenada shines on Taco Tuesday and Taco Thursday, offering tempting deals that are hard to pass up. A personal favorite of mine is the Al Pastor tacos – a flavor-packed choice that's a must-try for anyone visiting. Now, a little tip on parking: it's a bit of a unique setup. I recommend heading over to Memorial Park first, then make your way from East to West to enter the parking area. This little detour might seem like a bit of extra effort, but believe me, the tacos at the end of the journey make it all worthwhile. In essence, Tacos Ensenada is the perfect spot for those looking for delicious tacos without the fuss. It's about the simple pleasure of enjoying good food, even if it means eating it somewhere else. Whether you're a local or just passing through, make sure to give it a try – especially on their special taco days for an extra treat.
