The place is a unique place in the middle of the city. Very unique to say the least. The cheese here is probably one of yhe best cheese I have ever tried in Mexico, if you are in town stop by and ask for 200g of Ramonetti before breakfast with a bit of Pesto. You won't regret it. The wait line was not that bad to be sunday but be prepared to wait for a little bit. The food is very good with some variety of the classics in the Mexican breakfast.

A hidden gem. Unassuming on the exterior, but a beautiful leafy courtyard inside for a very chill ambience and they were very kind about our children tagging along who only wanted tortilla chips lol. The food was incredible, both the portobello risotto and cochinita pibil were delicious and even the cheese they brought with the bread was delightful. Highly recommend.

The space is absolutely gorgeous and the food was 10/10. So glad we found this place - might be the best chilaquiles I’ve had.

We ate here a year ago and found it wonderful. Now we are back and have just finished a scrumptious lunch of green chile chilaquiles and tortilla soup. They are very conscientious about cleanliness yet the ambiance is welcoming and cozy. I had to buy some of the ricotta cheese to take home. Yum Yum Yum

This place has been rated by Michelin as Bib Gourmand for a reason. Very good food at reasonable prices. Excellent dishes with their twist. We had the casuelita en salsa verde and the platos Marcelo. Both were great options. They start you off with some bread and their signature cheese on the house accompanied by a salsa matcha with what I think is Chipotle. All very good. The customer service was excellent and the place is very near, within walking distance of the main strip in Ensenada.

My wife and I only visited Ensenada for a few days, so we had no intention of being repeat customers anywhere. But with Casa Marcelo, we had to make an exception. The breakfast is unbelievably good. The service and environment are wonderful too.
