It's a fine place, although I do have some places I would dock points. The layout is wrong. You have a register that directs the line right into a person table. There is no logical place to line up. I would also ssay that there are too many tables. You can get around the place easy to do things like hit the salsa bar, or get your soda. Tables are too tightly compressed and the people linbing up are all over.
Review Source:I think this location makes things a bit more bland than any other Baja location.
Not sure why (perhaps the clientele around here can't handle spicy).
They have seating inside and outside.
Of course the service was nice and the food was fresh. Â For some reason, the food didn't have that 'POP!' Â Even the sauce that was supposed to be hot, wasn't even medium.
No matter what sauce I added, the food was simply bland and still needed salt.
My husband and I named this location the 'Bland Baja Fresh' (great for special diets or hospitals).
Doubt I'll be back.
Baja Fresh makes some of the best fish tacos around - made with Ono! The service here is always friendly and fast. Also, their salsa bar is amazing, with 6 different salsas. I like mixing the sweet mango salsa with one of the hot salsas - it tastes delicious when added to their tacos!
Review Source:The service here is friendly and speedy (even though they don't use can openers or microwaves). Â And now they've added beer to their menu, so I don't see any reason to go anywhere else! Â I love the fact that they also have tasty-not boring-salads on their menus for those days when I want to be "good."
I really love how clean this place always is. Â These employees are on the job and it shows!
Oh ye weary traveler, come inside to rest your head upon a pillow sized burrito...
I partook of this fine establishment's gargantuan burrito-y offerings for lunch yesterday. I was hot and tired from moving a thousand pounds of network server equipment and a Diablo Burrito with a Lemonade was just what I needed to recharge and get my head back in the game. The staff was very friendly (the gentleman behind the counter brought me my burrito because I wasn't paying attention - sorry!) and my transaction was fast and efficient and my order taken accurately without feeling rushed. I very much enjoyed the salsa bar and tried the 6 Chili variety. I was pleasantly surprised to find a nice pleasant burn to by my reward for deciding to step out of my comfort zone! My burrito was approximately the size of a fully grown dachshund and packed full of perfectly grilled chicken and tender well prepared beans.
The restaurant itself was mostly clean and the staff was attempting to curb the onslaught of hungry lunchtime patrons. I did deduct one star for the awkwardly tall tables in the restaurant; they're pretty annoying but it is what it is.
While I usually go to a place for the food, the ambiance always adds to the experience. Â When ever I go to Baja Fresh it seems so sterile. Â To much white in the decor. Â That said the food here is above average. Â The grilled tacos are actually pretty good. Of course since this is commercial mexican food the portions are small. Â The service could be better. Â If you go just before closing you might not get salsa because they start closing down about a half hour before actual closing time. Â I went there the other day and all the chairs were up and they had put all the salsas away. Â If I had just driven by I would have thought they were closed.
Review Source:Baja Super Slow!!!
I was there ordering dinner for my wife, my son, and myself. It was a "to go" order, so I was there with my 4 year old and the time it took to get our order was really amplified by my son (because he doesn't like to sit around much). The whole time I was there I kept looking at the sign that says "Fresh food takes time, thank you for your patience". So I kept thinking, "Don't worry, it's going to be worth the wait".
I ordered a Cheese Quesadilla, a child's Bean and Cheese Burrito meal, and the advertised special of the Steak and Lobster tacos. I kept thinking to myself... "It shouldn't be taking this long, maybe its the tacos?" We were sitting right by the register waiting, so I could see everybody that ordered after us get their food, eat their food, and then leave. Finally, the manager asks what my order number was and starts looking for my ticket. He couldn't find my ticket so I gave him my copy. He takes the orders that were sitting in the window and puts them in a bag and presents them like "Here you go, enjoy!" I asked him, "Is this going to be hot? It's been up there for quite a while." He looks at me like I'm crazy for asking and says, "It's hot, it just came up!"
So now I'm headed home (a 5 minute drive) and I'm figuring out just how long we waited (I can tell pretty accurately because I "Checked In" to Yelp when we got there). We were in the restaurant waiting for 40 minutes, by the time we got home it was a 50 minute round trip. The first thing I did was get all the food on the table and told everybody to "dig in".
My tacos were warm - cold, my wife's quesadilla was warm - cold (you could tell by looking at it because of the way the cheese stood there like plastic), and my son's bean and cheese burrito was cool to the touch. I didn't finish the lobster taco because it was just plain cold. I was frustrated, all that waiting and I got cold - warm food.
My recommendation is to walk next door and get a sandwich from Board and Brew. I would have done that, but I had just eaten there earlier. I don't think I'll be back to Baja "takes a freaking long time" Fresh.
Baja Fresh is true to it's name because it sure is fresh!!!
Ordered the 2 taco combo. 2 tacos, both with carnitas. Oh yummmmmmy. Loving it!!!! So fresh and refreshing. I hadn't been to Baja Fresh in years, but now I remember why I love it. The taco combo also came with beans and rice. The beans and rice aren't as worthy as the tacos, but they were decent enough. For 5 bucks, I was satisfied.
One of my friends that came with me ordered the fish tacos...and they looked and smelled fantastic. He said they were good too. Major plus!!
I know this is Mexican food for us white folks, but it serves it's purpose well and leaves me stuffed and fully satisfied. I'm sticking to an apple for dinner tonight....I way overate already today....
PS--service is excellent! Fast, friendly and effecient
You've probably already had Baja Fresh, from Burritos to Tostadas, they originally had much better ingredients / food, but have suffered through a degrading product. Â The food comes faster now than ever before, which isn't necessarily a good thing, but it still beats "fast food". Â Some of their new experiments, like the Nacho Burrito, are questionable as well. Â Stick with a steak or carnitas burrito or taco and you should be satisfied.
