This was my first taste of fish in Ensenada. Oh my goodness, this was the best fish ever! They said it would take 20min to cook but it was so well worth it. White fish cooked in aluminum foil with vegetables. A must go place.

A client recently introduced me to Mariscos El Primo Nava while in Ensenada. I had driven by this eatery several times but really never paid much attention as I thought that it was just another small cafe. We drove into the rear parking lot ... and as we entered the building i was "Pleasantly Surprised" to see approximately 150 people... More

Very friendly place, just a short cab ride from the cruise ship! Great food, especially the shrimp! Great for fresh food and good ambiance.

Filled with locals, not tourists. Fabulous cocktails--these are shrimp, scallop, octopus, and/or fish in a slightly spicey tomato juice. Order the small and it's the same size as the medium for a lesser price. The 'botanas' are large, almost a meal in itself. Haven't tried the fish dishes, but the seafood is excellent. Avoid the oyseter rockefeller and the baked... More

very good mexican style cocktail, the best marlin tostada, and the clam with cheese, but sometimes they use too much butter and cheese, thats the only bad thing about them.

My girlfriend had a clam tostada and fish stew. The tostada had so many fresh raw clams that she could barely finish. The fish stew was a medium size and chock full of marlin, octopus, calamari, clams and tuna. (After a few spoonfuls she took the rest to go..) Absolutely excellent. I ordered a 1/4 kilo of crack and peel... More

You gotta be doing something right. And El Primo Nava is firing on all cylinders. The staff are friendly and helpful, the cerveza is ice cold and the seafood; fresh marlin, tuna, octopus, shrimp, clams, oysters, sea bass. It's hard to spend more than 10 dollars. The kilo of crack and peel shrimp is 120 pesos. My Mexican friends think... More
