Recommendations

I love Ensenada—it has everything I need for a healthy, happy life. But many of the best services and resources here aren’t always easy to find online. A lot of things run through local networks, word of mouth, or family recommendations, which is part of the charm but also makes it tricky for newcomers. Not many locals rely on TripAdvisor or Yelp.

Over time, I’ve discovered people and services that make both my everyday life and my travels in Baja easier. I don’t have any financial interest in these—just sharing what’s worked well for me and my friends.

Mexican Car Insurance
If you’re driving down from the U.S., you legally must have Mexican car insurance. It’s also a safety essential. I always recommend Ride Baja, as they’ve consistently taken great care of my friends and clients. Some of the owners even live here in Ensenada and are genuinely good people.

It’s quick and easy to get a policy online—something you can do before your trip or even while on the road. I also include Ride Baja in my safety sheet for visitors heading to Valle de Guadalupe or coming off the cruise ships.
