Ensenada Taco Trail, Flavors of Mexico

OVERVIEW
Savor an array of classic Mexican dishes including tacos in some of Ensenada’s most popular venues, beginning with El Fenix. Supposedly the birthplace of Baja California’s famed fish taco, El Fenix is a street stand with a cult-like status. The fried fish there is typically topped with pungent sauces and garden-fresh vegetables. La Guerrerense is another spectacular food stand best known for its seafood tostadas, which run the gamut from flaky fish concoctions to exotic tostadas topped with sea urchin ceviche. Tacos also take center stage in the restaurant Manzanilla, where you will snack for a third time. The seafood there is sourced locally as are the flavorful herbs and spices. Famed husband-and-wife chefs Benito Molina and Solange Muris own Manzanilla and are passionate about the quality of their ingredients. You will see where much of the seafood in Ensenada is sold at a nearby market, where you will enjoy one last taco, most likely with shrimp and cheese.
