Birriería El Cora — Restaurant in Ensenada

Hands down best Birria in Ensenada or anywhere else for that matter! Yes, I'm letting the cat out of the bag on this one. For starters, birria is what they do, all they do, and they do it exceptionally well! You have a choice of beef, lamb or goat. Which is rare by any standard, and a delicious life changing mouth watering experience that is a must for birria lovers. The portions are very generous, so unless you are super hungry stick to the 1/2 order. My favourite is lamb, the hot sauce is magnificently spicy, so go easy on it. You need to go there early because they usually sell out by noon and even earlier on weekends. If you do get there early ask for the ribs which are finger licking good. There are two locations but I prefer the original on Mexico street Parking sucks at both locations and getting a table can be slow at best. But the birria served with hand made corn tortillas is a delight to behold and worth your well rewarded patience. They have been around since 1985 are are local favorites. It's a must for me every time I visit Ensenada! Enjoy my friends, enjoy! Say hello to Ceasar for me. The culinary wizard...

I truly enjoyed everything that we ate the birria, quesadillas, the fresh pinto beans, the salsa's all the garnishes the ice cold drinks and ice cold beer, Everything was on point even the service. Family friendly restaurant the only inconvenience is finding parking but other than that...

La mejor birria que he probado en Baja California, en especial los tacos de costilla de borrego. Para probar algo similar, no mejor tendrías que ir a Guadalajara o CDMX, e insisto, similar, no mejor. La única comparable aquí en Baja sería la Guadalajara en el centro de Tijuana, no sé si exista todavía, pero estaba en una zona muy sucia y peligrosa, la última vez que fui a la Guadalajara fue hace más de 25 años, deben de ser otros cocineros. Definitivamente el Cora de la calle México en Ensenada es la mejor birria de Baja. La de la calle...
