I really wanted to give Tacos Ensenada a five-star review, but the experience just didn’t deliver all the way. First off, the wait time was ridiculous—over 25 minutes for my food, and I watched multiple people who ordered after me get their orders first. That part really threw me off.
I ordered the shrimp taco, which I’ll give credit for—it was very flavorful and definitely a highlight. But then I made the mistake of trying the sushi… and honestly, it was nasty as hell. This place has no business serving sushi—it tasted off, borderline spoiled. They should just stick to what they’re good at: the seafood tacos.
The cashier had decent customer service, but there was a slight attitude that came off unwelcoming. The place does get busy, so I recommend double-checking your order and maybe even calling ahead if possible.
Overall, decent food if you know what to avoid, but not worth the hype this time around.

I ordered a plate with chicken, rice, beans, and salad at Tacos Ensenada in Monrovia, California, and it was absolutely delicious. There are places with good food — and then there are places like this, where the food is truly flavorful, hearty, and feels healthy. I really enjoyed it and left fully satisfied. The atmosphere is cozy and feels like home — everything is clean and well maintained. There’s convenient parking too. Honestly, this is one of the best spots I’ve found for tasty and fulfilling fast food. Highly recommended! Good price

I’ve been coming to this location since it’s closer to me now than the original Durate location. I’ve always loved their fish tacos and I think they have one of the best side bars available for free. this most recent time I’ve been, the onions weren’t as great and they are missing some of you jalapeño carrots, but I understand you can always have the same things and you must adapt. The fish tacos are still great and I’m always going to come back! and I absolutely love that they have a pretty much standing fish taco Tuesday and that it’s persisted since they’ve opened the first store.

Took a chance on this location and it was the last chance I had left chips for the nachos were not strong enough to hold the refried beans. Carnitas was very salty and almost everything lacked flavor. Asada tacos, no seasoning. As we sat by the window more people began to come in, I think we have that look that says “if they are eating there we can try it too” sorry folks our bad.
In El Monte off Lower Azusa there’s a place called La Bufadora. I’ve always liked it there, this place made me realize just how good La Bufadora really is.
They do have clean restrooms at Tacos Ensenada

Love the fish tacos here. They are freshly battered and fried (I know because you can see the cooks while you are ordering). Also love the pickled onions and jalapeños at the salsa bar to the left of the register. Haven’t tried anything else because I really love their fish tacos.

A wet asada burrito. O my goodness, superior meat, great fulfilling size and the sauce had a wonderful taste with a little heat. I’ve never had a wet burrito with heat in the sauce. Had me sweating, I loved it. Could only eat half of it this time, spicy good.

This chain is probably one of my favorite quick seafood places. Love the fish tacos and fish/shrimp burritos. The beans and rice are really good, so a very solid option. Has one of my favorite salas too that pairs really well with the seafood offerings.

I have to say I’m disappointed in this restaurant
I had ordered the fish tacos and a burrito. The sad part is that this food was covered in hair. I don’t know why or how anyone would sell this kind of hairy taco . . But it definitely made me mad! I have been here once on a chicken taco day. And it was amazing! But as it wasn’t chicken taco day. I had to switch it up and order a refreshing fish taco. I was deceived , and well let me get to the food review here. First the tortilla. It wasn’t cooked I believe. It tasted as though they pooped the tortillas in the microwave. Because they didn’t bend. They would break as soon as you fold them or try and gather the taco together. The fish itself was amazing! I had a bite and noticed it was covered in hairssss..
