We will be visiting Ensenada in Mid Feb. Does anyone know where they serve breaded abalone. Years ago, we went to La Cueva de Los Tigres just south
of Ensenada and that was their speciality. Is it still there? We also liked Mariscos de Ensenada, downtown, but they didn't have abalone, but the
other seafood was excellant.

Torn down years ago.
Follow Jan's suggestion for Haliotis. They are time-tested as excellent.bajabound2005 - 12-22-2010 at 07:26 PM
1. Barra Azul (no abalone but the food is divine)
2. Muelle 3 (again, no abalone, but excellent food)
3. Cocedora de Langosta, abalone likely but it's seasonal, otherwise it comes out of a can (same at Haliotis).
The above 3 restaurants are new, use fresh local ingredients, and have creative and fun menus. Haliotis hasn't changed a thing on their menu since
they opened their doors.
Just my opinion...DENNIS - 12-22-2010 at 08:12 PM

That was 1976. I'd say their trial period has passed.

Can someone give general directions to these three places plus Haliotis?bajabound2005 - 12-23-2010 at 06:41 AM
Barra Azul in on 13th St about 2 blocks west of Espinoza.
Muelle 3 is on the Malecon (such as it is), north of the Fish Market.
Cocedora de Langosta is on the same road as the Fish Market, but before you get to the Fish Market...between the Proturismo office and the Fish
Market, same side of the street.
Haliotis....so you know were the Office Depot/Soriana shopping center is? You come up that street and would turn right to continue south on
Reforma/Transpeninsular? Instead of making that right, go straight and it's about 3 blocks further on your left.Martyman - 12-23-2010 at 10:02 AM
I had abulon at Manzanilla in Ensenada last month. Near the migration at the port.bajabound2005 - 12-27-2010 at 06:50 PM
Muelle Tres is owned by the same chef as Manzanilla.djh - 12-27-2010 at 07:40 PM

Be sure and grab a mint on the way out.... you wouldn't want a case of halitosis from haliotis, would you ?Sallysouth - 12-27-2010 at 09:41 PM
So Gypsy Jan, Did you actually eat at Haliotis after your post asking for restaurants offering Abulon?If so I would like to get your opinion of the
food and service, etc. And to lwpa, who posted this, if you are staying in Ensenada, just get a cab, cost 5 bucks.If you don't know your way around
like a local, it's totally worth it(and safer!)
