Eat Tacos Fénix, Ensenada, Baja California

There are several taco stands that lay claim to the original Baja-style fish taco, but general consensus grants Tacos Fénix the distinction of being the first. The stand sits on the corner of Espinoza and Juarez streets, with the same family still serving the street snack since it opened in 1970. A simple menu lists the limited options – fish and shrimp tacos – and the fish is fried in a special comal with an oil well, called a disca, that is fit for frying and takes up the majority of the wooden shack’s interior. The crowd here is mixed: gringos right from the cruise ship or bar, fishermen and wealthy businessmen all flock here for a taste of the real deal.
