On vacation from san diego and this place was recommended to us by a local (gringa).
My suggestion is to skip this place if you're a tourist.
The ambiance, service, and Tuna shasimi are 5 stars... unfortunately the rest of the food we ordered didn't come out as good.
My wife and I sat outside. It was very dark outside, some lighting would be nice but we used our phones to read the menu.
I ordered a mojito fruta rojo... it was not good. I think it might have been made by someone who has never had a mojito before. I returned it and order a beer instead.
For apps we had the shasimi and portobello tacos. The portobello mushrooms were very earthy. I love love LOVE mushrooms and I couldn't eat them. The shasimi was the hero!
For the entree I love steak and potatoes so I ordered the NY steak, potatoes, and seasoned veggies. The best part of the plate was the veggies (which says A LOT). The steak was cooked medium but it tasted burned or smoked and was also somehow dry. It tasted like it was seared after it cooked in the oven then smoked or cooked over an open wood flame. Very charred. The fries were cut with completely random sizes so some were crips and some were super soft. They need to cut the fries uniformly so they cook evenly and also at a higher temperature so they can get crispy. I'm not a foodie snob or anything like that but if you pay $30 USD for a plate it should be good. In mexico if you pay $30 USD it should be the best thing you ever had! Right? It might have been an off night for the chef though. If you end up coming here just for the shashi only it would be fine.

The Foodie Queen Hits Baja First! Coming to Mexico - I always hope I can make the time to make the drive to Ensenada once I cross over the TJ border from California. What drives me to come is The Blue Fin Sashimi - it's the freshest and most delicious cut of fish I have ever tasted in my life ! And the price ? The equivalent of 275 pesos or $16 if the exchange rate is at '17' that day ...deep past Las Salinas and right outside the Valle of Guadalupe towards the port of Ensenada is this little gem... my 2nd favorite delicacy here is the Grilled Octopus Mashed Potatoes pickled veggies and chili aioli. The pizza here is also made fresh ... brick oven in the house. I recommend the New York Steak Pizza w Extra Cheese. The Iced Tea is Brewed Fresh and yes of course - they have Raspberry. They have daily desserts available so today for this review they made me a sampler platter of Pecan Pie w Vanilla Ice Cream, Ginger Cake w Lavender Ice Cream and Zucchini Cake w Beet Ice Cream. You can ask for the Tania Estrada special which is this dessert platter- show this post ! Thanks Ophelia's ! This is one of my favorite places to eat - worth the drive ...it's scenic in 2 ways...the chef and waiters are pretty hot here too 😍😍😍The #FoodieQueen gives this place 5 stars for Flavor Presentation Ambiance and Amazing Staff !!! And for all you Drinkers.. they have a full wine selection and full bar... whatever you wish - they will make it ! And yes - it's all Organic - everything south of the border pretty much is 👍

Very nice food. Great selection of fresh seafood and a great bar as well. Very friendly staff and artsy atmosphere. Parking was cumbersome, if not outright difficult.
