What you got to love about this place is their food, specially, their breakfast food. With a great selection of dishes and beverages to choose from, this place will warm up your appetite and satisfies all of your expectations. I personally recommend the "Huevos Benedictos". Its personal is also very friendly and nice toward you, and if you have any... More

My husband and I wandered into this lovely restaurant after sailing down to Ensenada from our home in San Diego. It was the highlight of our stay in Ensenada. We had the caprese salad and rib eye steaks with black pepper sauce. The restaurant is romantic, the food is delicious and the staff is wonderful!

We really enjoy the table side Caesar salad and the complimentary appetizers from the chef. We went on a Saturday for lunch and walked out very FULL. Normally I am not a fan of tableside music but the older gentleman with a guitar is terrific! He knows just about every American and Mexican song that was ever made. Any request... More

We had breakfast on the street, it was wonderful. The service was great, they threw in pastries and quesadillas at no extra charge. The food was fantastic, almost the best I have ever had. I tried the Mexican version of eggs benedict and I am looking forward to having it again. There was one little problem and it was, once... More

My husband and I chose El Rey Sol for our last night in Ensenada. This was our "splurge" dinner. I'm so glad we did! First off, we had an awesome meal for about $50 total. I got the Filet Mignon, which came in a perfect, while generous, portion, and perfectly cooked. I got it with the Black Pepper sauce, which... More

This restaurant used to be one of my favorite and must-see stops on every trip to Ensenada, when I used to come down regularly for great food and drink. I hadn't been back for a long time, and was really looking forward to checking it out again when we came down in May. I kept talking it up to my... More
