Insider’s Guide to Ensenada

With its surrounding two seas, the state of Baja California was primed to become one of the world’s great centers of ingredient-driven seafood cuisines. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the state’s port city, Ensenada—home to one of Mexico’s most highly regarded mariscos scenes.

From the indigenous foodways of the Kumeyaay peoples, to the influence of Japanese fishermen who came to the port city just after the turn of the century, to the decades of internal migration from seafood obsessed states like Sonora and Sinaloa in Mexico’s north, Ensenada’s mariscos mosaic is truly one-of-a-kind.

It’s a must-visit destination for seafood lovers.

Join CTH for a deep dive into Ensenada’s famed seafood scene. We’ll begin our adventure with a hearty cahuamanta stew in the home of a retired fisherman who worked on boats in Ensenada’s harbor for decades. After, we’ll visit five distinct Ensenada carretas, as the city’s seafood stands are known locally, for a sumptuously delicious and diverse overview of the mariscos bounty that defines this port city.

A valid passport is required.
