Birriería La Guadalajara
Birriería La Guadalajara Birria (stewed goat, beef or lamb) is the specialty here, and you can order it made de (lamb), de res (beef) or de chivo (goat). Big steaming bowls (or tacos, if you wish) will land on your table and keep you energized for hours.

Cenaduría El Parrian
If you want to eat well for cheap, blow off the gringo traps along López Mateos and join the locals at El Parrian. The small menu of enchiladas, tacos, tamales and tostadas is outstanding. Try the pozole (a hearty pork and hominy soup) and polish it off with a hot mug of champurrado (a chocolate corn drink).

El Charro
This is the place for marinated Mexican-style chicken, grilled or roasted over an open flame. Freshly made tortillas, salsa and other condiments accompany all orders.

El Corralito
This place serves mediocre antojitos but really shines on weekends, when the nighttime crowd arrives for re-fueling sessions between bar visits. It's a great spot for a margarita on the strip.

El Taco de Huitzilopochtli
It's worth planning your visit to Ensenada around this restaurant's opening hours. For 32 years it has been serving its mouthwatering mixiote, a unique Texcoco-style dish of lamb wrapped in maguey leaves and cooked for 16 hours in mesquite-fired ovens. Other dishes include tlacoyos (thick, stuffed tortillas in green chili sauce), romeritos (nopal cactus, potatoes and shrimp in a bowl of chocolaty, spicy mole ) and huauzontles (a stuffed and battered broccoli-like vegetable in red sauce).

El Tlaquepaque
Offering similar fare to El Parrian, this is an excellent family-style eatery concerned more with cooking up good, wholesome food than making money off the cruise-ship casualties.

Tacos El Fenix
A local institution, El Fenix serves outstanding fish and shrimp tacos to a throng of regulars who harmoniously navigate the condiments bar as cash and tacos change hands at full tilt. Tacos this good at these prices are a steal.
