We came here for dinner about a month ago, and were very impressed with the quality of the food and excellent service we received...Dinner with a nice bottle of local wine came to about $60. Highly recommend, and is just outside Ensenada, very easy to get to. Enjoy!

This are not Ensenada's traditional fish tacos (in batter and fried), these are different "guisados" or stews served in a taco. The shrimps-chipotle are outstanding, I love the marlin quesadillas and the chiles rellenos.

This is the ceviche cart that is famous throughout Baja and the US. My kids in California and Oregon have friends who know of it! This is the one to eat at. The Scallops Cocktail is delicious.

If you like Mexican style seafood this is the place, the prices here are awesome despite that our waiter was a litle clumsy our food was great. Besides we had a nice mariachi singing right next to our table and I didn't pay for.

Oh we dream of good birrieria and they delivered! Had very happy & satisfied teenagers! Service was very friendly and food was served quickly. They do have an English side to their menu so that helps those who can't read Spanish. The prices were very reasonable for the food given. We plan to make this a regular stop in the future!

We sat right above the ocean, waves crashing in, sun setting over the horizon...just spectacular. And equally spectacular was the food here at Punta Morro....fresh, well cooked and seasoned. I had the skirt steak...tender, flavourful, perfectly cooked to medium. Service by the staff was top-notch. We even splurged on dessert...well worth the splurge!!!! Expresso creme brulee!!!!
