I was both confused and impressed in certain ways. It was casual, but also had table clothes and classy menu’s. We parked in the dirt lot around the corner, a shared lot in construction with the nearby Hotel.
It was brunch, so my friends got breakfast, while I got both breakfast and lunch. 2 eggs, sausage, bacon, hashbrowns. I also got Seafood fettuccini alfredo (mixto). There were octopus, shrimp, clams, mussels. It was a little runny, but came together once I let it sit a while. The service was slow and they never came to refill my water, the bathroom is in a weird place, but they were Johnny on the spot with the coffee. Tortillas as with almost all tortillas in Ensenada were excellent. These were particularly thin and used for dipping in my pasta sauce instead of the usual French bread or baguette. Garnished with sauce and parsley like a finer dining restaurant. Full bar, but limited menu.
Rice and beans were classic. The table near us ordered 3 orders of chilaquiles, so they must have been good. I can imagine it getting packed in the morning and evening, but not on an American Monday holiday.

The menu style is such that there is a lot of cross customization, so for that the cooks do well to mix flavors and proteins.

Read moreThis place is very nice inside and has a great atmosphere. The service from some of the staff is honestly very bad. We had a server who for starters did not show up until 20 min after we were siting down and we were her only table. Along with that she had a terrible attitude making it seem like it was such a bother to take our order. After she got our order she disappeared for another 10 min and only brought 2 drinks out. Then she only brought 2 appetizers and forgot the other two. After almost an hour after ordering our food the entrees showed up. At that point the waitress completely disappeared and wasn’t seen again. We were still missing a drink (orange juice) and the appetizers. We asked another waiter who then told us that there was no more oranges to make orange juice therefore there was no orange juice coming. The waiter offered to bring something else and then brought the appetizers and refills we ended up just asking him for whatever we needed. If it wasn’t for him I would have gave this place 1 star. He should...
Read moreThis truly is an amazing place. The waiter was so friendly and kind, although we speak beginner's Spanish. The bartender walked the extra mile to mix a Margarita just for my taste and even asked if I would like him to add more Tequila. The atmosphere is lovely and both times we went there we got our favorite table although one time it was already laid for breakfast. I personally enjoyed watching the music videos while waiting. The food was excellent. There's such a variety of seafood and it's prepared so...
