Ensenada Restaurant

Charming local veteran owned small Mexican restaurant. Freshly made food and friendly service. High quality ingredients for a extremely reasonable price. Go support this family establishment!! I ordered chilaquiles green, montados, which means the eggs are on top. It was authentic and tasty!! I've also attached photos of the most recent menu. This is a very short drive from town and from Hueco Tanks state park so if you are in the area this is a great option!

If you want an authentic Mexican place with amazing Mexican breakfast options, and are willing to go a ways off the beaten path, look no further! Ensenada is rustic, charming and absolutely delicious. The service is chefs fucking kiss.If you're a gringo reading this, stop asking Mexicans what their favorite "Mexican food restaurant" is. In a place like El Paso, this means NOTHING. Are you asking about a flauta place, a burrito place, a Mexican steakhouse, a Mexican seafood, a Mexican diner, a MEXICAN BREAKFAST?!? Dear gringo, Mexican food is a spectrum of cuisines, flavors and traditions. Ensenada occupies a very specific region of the spectrum, Tejano/Norteño breakfast food. Stop tasting the rainbow, and taste the torta! Taste the steak omelette, with a side of hash browns, freshly refried pinto beans, homemade salsa and homemade tortillas.If you're a Mexican reading this, carry on. Eat here - you'll be taken care of. Promise.

Nice little neighborhood restaurant. 1st time trying and will definitely be returning for breakfast. We had green chilaquiles montadas and our girls had pancakes and eggs everything was delicious! Girls loved their Mickey shaped pancakes! Staff was also super friendly and attentive!

We were looking for an authentic Mexican Restaurant with the mom and pop feeling of those available in Central EP. The other Mexican restaurants in the Far East EP aren't very good and I'd rather drive a away for some good food. Fortunately for us we found a hidden gem. This place has everything! Good service, good food, and good ambience at a reasonable price. Open since 1997 and family owned, I'll definitely be back and bringing family and friends.

Very casual place with amazing food. We came in looking for a quick meal before heading to the airport for our flight and the owner made a huge effort to give us our food as fast as possible and make sure we had a great experience. We had the steak tacos, chicken tacos, and guacamole and loved all of it.

What a great find. It's right off the road a very small place. The food is amazing. I had the fajita, it came out still sizzling, and full of flavor. The portion is huge I was not able to finish all the food. The price is very affordable. The owner is super friendly, came by to check with us if the food is ok and opened the door for me when I was leaving so I didn't have to touch any surface. If you drive by El Paso, highly recommend this Tex Mex restaurant

My wife and I found this restaurant about a year ago. Definitely a hidden gem. It's like going to your friends house and getting wonderful food every time. Oscar makes you feel right at home. The food is delicious and we have always left feeling GREAT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO ALL OF YOU.

I love family restaurants and Ensenada is run by a mother and son duo. For lunch I had fresh albondigas soup and tacos, as recommended by the chef. The soup was fantastic: flavorable broth that wasn't too rich, tender meatballs, and fresh vegetables. The tacos were good - love the toasted corn tortillas and a very good, fresh and spicy. Nothing fancy but full of hospitality and good home cooking. I'll go again if I'm in the area.

This tiny little place had a whole flavors !!! Such a nice crew working there also. Had me laughing all the way to the door. Excellent customer service. We just called in our order and it was ready when I got there. The food was amazing also! Had green chille enchiladas Montana's! YummmmAlso ordered pico tacos. Double yum. The price was perfect. Great find!!

We were looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant for breakfast in far east El Paso. Ensenada did not disappoint. Great food and service at this family owned and ran hole in the wall.
