OMG!!!! This is a must try for their FISH TACOS ENSENADA STYLE! JESUS CHRIST himself couldn't make a better fish taco! The batter was light, tight, crispy and crunchy! As if they used beer or soda water to create that airy bubbly batter! And the size? Forget about it! It was impressive! This is a must stop in once to try. Haven't tried other foods here yet but will be coming back!

I had the best time at El Gobernador! Their food is incredible – I’m still thinking about those Camarones Momia! Bacon-wrapped shrimp, stuffed with creamy crab – each bite was heaven. I also got the El Gobernador Tacos, and the combo of crunchy shrimp with melted cheese, bell peppers, and onions was so tasty I didn’t want it to end. Oh, and the Ensenada Taco with battered shrimp topped with fresh cabbage, pico, and a chipotle sauce was just amazing. To top it off, I sipped on two mango margaritas – so refreshing and just the right balance of sweetness. One thing that really added to the vibe was the remodeled seating area. It's stylish and comfortable, perfect for catching a game – we watched Game 2 of the World Series there, and it just felt like the best way to enjoy amazing food and sports. If you’re looking for fantastic seafood with a fun atmosphere, El Gobernador is where it’s at!

I had heard about this place and was told it was good. They offer a wide variety of seafood dishes. I ended up ordering the shrimp zarandiado taco(left, shrimp covered in cream chipotle sauce. Served in a nice toasted tortilla), the gobernador taco(right, filled with cheese,bell peppers and onions. Also, served in a toasted tortilla.), and shrimp ensenada style taco(center). All three tacos had great flavors. Each one had it's own taste. I also ordered the shrimp empanadas. They seemed to be filled with shrimp, minced onion, cilantro, and they were well seasoned. They were deep fried in some sort of different masa texture. Nice and soft shell and was served with creamy chipotle sauce. Prices weren't that bad. It all depends on what you order. The micheladas are good btw!

First time there. Fish tacos were delicious. Service was superb. I went right after work, place was empty. I suggest you call in order for pickup. I did wait for a bit for my food- that's freshness

Found this place on google maps close to where I live . It was empty but I guess since it was still early . The food was absolutely delicious, I ordered agauachiles and I loved them . Also the prices were very reasonable.

Great service and delicious food. I had the pineapple aguas fresca and I could taste that it was hand made. The al pastor tacos were very flavorful and perfect with the green salsa ...
