STAFF PICK
Ivana Gomez del Campo
Tacos Baja Ensenada
Do not judge this restaurant by its cover, rather by the lines you're likely to find during the lunch rush. The famed fish tacos are made with flavorful, deep fried halibut filets that crumble in your mouth, wrapped in two perfectly grilled corn tortillas and topped with shredded cabbage, salsa and a rich cream sauce. For the adventurous types, there is a nice spread of condiments and salsas. The atmosphere is laid back and the prices so reasonable you'll forget you're in LA. By far the best fish tacos north of the border!
