Best Fish Taco In Ensenada

Cheap tacos, yummy horchata & friendly service

by angelineasaurus at Citysearch

People rave about this no-frills taco stand for a reason: the service is uber friendly -- the owner typically mans the counter, will remember you and make as many jokes as you can stand. The shrimp tacos are so wonderful with the fresh, crispy batter and salsa / guacamole / toppings bar not meant for mild palates.

Bring cash, get a horchata, pay a little more for the shrimp tacos, top them with hot guac, mango salsa, a little lettuce and a nice splat of the crema, and try not to scarf your food down too quickly. You can always get more, you know.

What A Deal!

by LoveLAEaten at Citysearch

This place is really delicious! They keep it simple... Fish Tacos $1.50... Shrimp Tacos $2.00... Can of Soda $1.00 (tax included). Tacos are made fresh-to-order and you build your own taco with various salsas and condiments ranging in spiciness. My personal favorite is the shrimp taco but you really can't go wrong with either. I always seem to start with 2 tacos thinking that will be enough but can't help going back for a third. If you enjoy fish tacos, you are going to LOVE these!!

• Pros: Price, Taste, Quick Eat
• Cons: Street Parking

GO THERE!

This place is such a gem! I had been walking/ driving by this place for about a year always assuming it was sub par and rolling my eyes at the fact the the name is so lame, when finally it came up in a conversation I was having with someone and they raved about it. I have it a try considering it was only a few blocks from my place.

Upon entering I noticed that it had sort of a fun little island feel, nothing that would make me rave about the ambience, but simple and yet charming. The menu, which only appears above the register is refreshingly simple stating:

Fish.....$1.50

Shrimp......$2.00

Drink.......$1.00

Thats it, nothing fancy, nothing creative just simple and delicious fish taco's made to order, battered and fried in front of you through a glass pane and embellished by you at the great little salsa bar complete with cabbage, several types of salsa ranging in temp and ingredients from pineapple to mango, radish relish, and "crema magica" as they like to call it which I think is just sour cream.

There is nothing other than soda and horchata to drink, but they have a lovely little corkage policy.... you can BYOB as long as you give one to the guy working the register. And with a liquor store a half a block away, you can't beat that. Its a fantastic way to spend part of a hot afternoon at the simple patio furniture in front under umbrellas and misters.

The tacos are small but for $1.50 you can keep ordering them with the change between the couch cushions.

Truly the best fish taco!

by regnalquin at Citysearch

This place really lives up to its name. The atmosphere of the taco shop is casual and relaxed but the food is serious. $1.50 for fish and $2 for shrimp makes these tacos hard to say no to. In fact I find myself going back for more and more each time I go. Absolutely a must if you are in the area!

Delectable fish and shrimp come cheap at this cheerful local favorite, reminiscent of a casual beachfront bar in Baha.

In Short
Inside Hillhurst's playful tiki hut, delicious, golden-fried and grilled seafood tacos are doled out by an exceedingly friendly waitstaff. A painted mural covers the back wall, featuring an underwater scene splattered with sparkling multi-colored tiles and small fish. Condiments like the standard crema, rarities like "hot guac," and mango and radish salsa are served in faux white seashells, which customers scoop up as they head out to the patio. Los Feliz locals come here primarily for lunch, casually clad, lining up for made-to-order fish and shrimp tacos.
