Brussel Sprouts Esquite
Ensenada Fish Taco

“Started out good and really was rooting for this place trying them out on restaurant week. Not too busy early evening Tuesday. The atmosphere is great, wonderful set up, and good service start. Drinks were great and appetizers (ceviche, flautas) as well. Entres were decent - enchiladas pretty good, carne asada meat was good, not the sides. But they completely forgot about us the second half of the meal - took 30 minutes after we finished to offer and finally bring boxes. Then 20 min later let us know they were out of the dessert we had ordered 75 minutes earlier.“

“Delicious, hands down the best taco shop in the area and I make the drive from Eastlake to come here.

I ordered the surf and turf and added adobada. Super good! They use black tiger the shrimp for shrimp and if you know about shrimps that’s the best you can get !

10/10 recommend“
