Very good fish tacos, a huge piece of fish, crispy and soft on the inside. $7 a taco tho

Wow!! I feel so lucky to have eaten here - the tacos were incredible and Liz is so kind. We ordered the ceviche, fish tacos, and shrimp tacos, and they were incredible. Grew up eating in Baja California and this meal reminded me so much of my childhood. The seating area is also shady and nice. Must visit!!

I would have never known about this place other than my friend saying I have to try her homemade fish taco.... and her muse - Ensenada.

So fish tacos are my jam. It's just, where do you find them? So of course I had to try this place out immediately.

She was right - fish.tacos.on.point.

The batter was crunchy, flavorful, not too thick.
The fish was nice and meaty. Not fishy at all.
The slaw was thinly shredded adding a nice cool crisp crunch contrast.
The sauce just right and not overpowering.
The tortilla was thin enough to not overpower but thick enough to play its job of holding strong.

Alright Austin - the standard for fried tacos has now been set.

Finally tried this place after seeing it a couple times while visiting other trailers in the Arbor Food Park. It’s fantastic, and so great to have a seafood taco option in a city dominated by heavier, meat-focused tacos.

We tried all three of their regular tacos and they were delicious. Great flavors across the board, with lightly-fried fish and shrimp (not very heavy at all) complemented by fresh vegetables and bright salsa with a nice, but not overwhelming amount of spice.

The weekend special shrimp cocktail was also solid, and a bit different from what other places in Austin serve. Rather than having a dominant ketchup-like flavor, it’s more complex and almost a little sweet—it seems focused on fresh tomato rather than other tomato products.

We’re so happy we tried Ensenada and can’t wait to go back!

Kid-friendliness: It’s a food truck park with picnic tables. Very kid-friendly. But no high chairs.

First time I came for one ceviche tostada, and not only did I order two more, I also came back the following day to have what's now my favorite fresh ceviche during the summer. Add to that their salsa matcha and the extremely friendly staff, and you get one of Austin's finest food jewels. Muchos éxitos para Ensenada.

The best fish tacos I have had in Austin. The tacos were crispy and not oily at all. Very flavorful and with good spice.
The food truck is located in a lot where there are other great food trucks as well.
The lady at the food truck was friendly and helpful.
They have plenty of parking next to the lot but I went in the afternoon on a Saturday for lunch. Might get busy during evenings.

Looking forward to coming back here again and again.

This is one of my favorite food trucks in ATX. Their fish tacos are some of the best in the city. The ceviche (served on weekends only) is AMAZING. Purchase some of their salsa macha, to use at home on everything. Trust me you won’t regret it! The whole family (all three generations) is so sweet!

Absolutely delicious, I had the taco gobernador and a ceviche tostada, wish I didn’t feel so full so I could’ve tried more things. Definitely a must in Austin!
