Embarcadero Restaurante

Makukos is the one place I requested to go while in Ensenada. They are famous for their loaded authentic Baja style fish tacos. If you have had Baja style fish tacos anywhere else, this is the standard. The atmosphere is casual, with plastic folding tables, not luxurious, but great for what it is. They have a garnish and salsa bar, so you can dress up your tacos the way you like them: Onion, pickled onion, shredded cabbage, lime, radishes, cucumber, creamy salsa, spicy salsa, etc. Top traffic times can be busy, but the servers are on point and your food is served promptly. If you're ever in Ensenada, Makukos is a must stop.

Eating the seafood at Makuko's was a revelation. The fish tacos here were by no means traditional but were super creative and delicious in their own way. The Makuko Taco was made with two corn tortillas topped with an enormous pile of battered fish crumbled into pieces, whole shrimp, and a battered and chopped chile güero (Santa Fe Grande pepper) stuffed with marlin. The taco came without any condiments or sauces, but you could help yourself at the salsa bar to a huge selection of items including chopped cabbage, cabbage slaw, onions, lime, cucumbers, pico de gallo, and a dozen different salsas--my favorites were the crema with cilantro and crema with chipotle. The monstrous fish taco was the definite highlight, but I also had to try their Tostada Especial, a tostada topped with a huge portion of chopped fish ceviche, shrimp, octopus, and scallops, topped with a sweet and acidic salsa negra, onions, avocado, and cucumber slices. The ceviche wasn't the most flavorful I've had but came at an incredible value, given the amount of seafood on the tostada! No wonder this place is so popular!

Excelente lugar para degustar unos riko tacos de pescado y camarón.. todo muy delicioso ,muy limpio lo recomiendo al me encanto

This place is the bomb-diggity only reason they didn't get 5 stars from me is because the don't have avocado but the fish (and quantity of it, got 3 tacos outa mine) was amazing will definitely be going back and highly recommend. The chipotle creama. Oh yeah

My husband and I were excited to try this restaurant, as we had read lots of good reviews. Unfortunately, we didn't love what we ordered (fish taco and fresh clam). Both items were okay, but we probably won't ever go back when we are in Ensenada. They did have beautiful balloon decorations for Valentine's Day, which was a very nice touch.
