Find the ultimate gourmet experience for taco lovers in Ensenada. Recognized by Food & Wine as the birthplace of the fish taco, this Baja peninsula port is home to some extraordinary seafood. Experience the flavors and culture of the city while learning about the historical and current role of this vital fishing port.
Follow your guide to El Fenix. This simple little street stand has developed a cult-like status due to its famously crispy fish tacos. The secret to the deliciousness? The seafood is double-fried.
Continue to La Guerrerense, where seafood tostadas are topped with fish, which is the original ceviche tostada, although we also have other options such as shrimp, octopus, or the house tostada, which is tuna, marinated with orange juice. These are the specialty at this covered street stall, and the chefs combine simple ingredients to create incredibly flavorful salsas. Enjoy your made-to-order creation with a craft beer.
Next up is Manzanilla Restaurant, owned by Benito Molina and Solange Muris -- two of Mexico's most renowned chefs. No two visits are the same, as they only use fresh ingredients in their creations. Savor their amazing tacos at the restaurant's towering wooden bar, accompanied by the signature house beverage -- a Spanish-style gin and tonic.
Stroll along the boardwalk port to the fish market and learn about the region's primary catches, contributing to Ensenada's importance as a fishing port. Taste a shrimp taco with cheese accompanied by refreshing hibiscus or rice water.
