Was really disappointed in this port as there was absolute nothing at the port and the only option outside of paid excursions were paid buses to go into town, no free options, docked in the middle of nowhere.

You missed the locals then. Yummy taco, fresh seafood, and fruit carts. Also if you drink, home of the very first margarita and the best. It's not a pretentious town and it's authentic of small town Mexico as it comes. Of course there are vendors pushing their wares. They will sell to ANYONE. Tourists or neighbors. It's how they make a living. Ensenada gives you the untouristy authentic Mexico. It's not brochure pretty. But man, real Mexican food, doing my own thing, seeing everything was one of the highlights of my cruise. I'm sorry you weren't able to have the same experience.
