Makuko's Fish Tacos — Restaurant in Ensenada

Eating the seafood at Makuko’s was a revelation. The fish tacos here were by no means traditional but were super creative and delicious in their own way. The Makuko Taco was made with two corn tortillas topped with an enormous pile of battered fish crumbled into pieces, whole shrimp, and a battered and chopped chile güero (Santa Fe Grande pepper) stuffed with marlin. The taco came without any condiments or sauces, but you could help yourself at the salsa bar to a huge selection of items including chopped cabbage, cabbage slaw, onions, lime, cucumbers, pico de gallo, and a dozen different salsas—my favorites were the crema with cilantro and crema with chipotle. The monstrous fish taco was the definite highlight, but I also had to try their Tostada Especial, a tostada topped with a huge portion of chopped fish ceviche, shrimp, octopus, and scallops, topped with a sweet and acidic salsa negra, onions, avocado, and cucumber slices. The ceviche wasn’t the most flavorful I’ve had but came at an incredible value, given the amount of seafood on the tostada! No wonder this place...

Went into this clean restaurant today and great staff, nice atmosphere and even heating lamps (currently cold and rainy) Order a Marlin Taco 🌮 and to be honest I'll never order that again if I come back. I almost think they got the order wrong or ran out of Marlin. It was 70 pesos doesn't seem like allot to most but it's high in price considering the abundance of amazing places in the area.

Again very nice staff great atmosphere however what was order was not what was served and when I asked about the order they confirmed its Marlin.

I see reviews raving about the abundance of food you get on a taco for the price... belive me it's priced for the area but the amount of food doesn't overcome taste and quality, wrong items.

Oh well better luck...

We visited Makuko's Fish Tacos on a recent cruise to Ensenada on the recommendation of our guide. He said they serve some of the best Fish Tacos, Ceviche, and Shrimp Tacos in Ensenada. A bold statement considering Ensenada is world famous for it's fish tacos. They had a wide variety of salsas and condiments that were a perfect compliment for the dishes, Well he was right! The Ceviche, Fish Tacos, and Shrimp Tacos were the best our group had ever tasted. There were many more selections to chose from but we only tried the tacos and ceviche. The place was clean and full of local enjoying a noontime meal. Highly recommended. We...
