Birreria La Guadalajara

Ensenada


A great barn of a place, rightfully famous for its birria de chivo (goat stew), but also serving excellent tacos and charcoal-grilled meats. Popular with families, the atmosphere is boisterous and noisy with a large open-plan kitchen, a few TVs, strolling mariachis and decor that has changed little since its opening in 1972.
