Creator's Key Takeaways

One thing I love about the Insanada port is it's a quick 15minute walk to get into everything.

If you want to come have a party when you get off the cruise ship, this is where you come.

It's unfortunately not a casino anymore, but what it's known for is that this is where the modern margarita was invented.

You get to see some great sites, have some tasty food and drinks, and it's quite affordable.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you want to get beers at Julia's empanadas, grab them at the Oxxo next door and eat them on the patio.
Use the 15-minute walk to explore downtown on foot to save time and money.
Visit Tacos Luceros for authentic, affordable Ensenada-style battered fish tacos.
