      My god, I love how they cook shrimp. It's absolutely lovely. It tastes so good.

      However, fish was terrible. Maybe I got unlucky that one time I ordered some tacos with some Wahoo(fish) or whatever they call it, but it tasted like a mixture of rubber and rocks.

      Everything else was great. Delicious. But not the fish. That fish gives me nightmares.

      It's been a couple of years since my last visit. The dining room was clean and the staff friendly. The salsa bar is still very good and was stocked fresh. The pricing has gone up considerably with tacos over $5 and chips and guacamole over $8. We spent $43 for the two of us. The fish and shrimp tacos were a little too wet but the steak taco remains very good. I would probably come more often if it weren't for the price.

      It's a decent place. My opinion is the burritos are the best. Get one with cheese on top. You'll definitely be full. As for the bowls and tacos here, they are okay. Nothing too exciting, but they are fine for lunch.

      Good location. It's in Fairfax Town Center, in the back across from the movie theater. Employees are very nice and efficient. You can relax here for the most part, but weekdays lunch and weekends can be busy. The tables and chairs are comfortable enough for most.

      Before you are going to Chipotle again, give Baja a try. Clean, fresh, delicious and affordable! What else you can ask for.

      I came in here this evening to order some food, but unfortunately I came in fifteen minutes before they were due to close. So I skipped it. I did have questions however about some of their menu items, and I felt that whoever the female employee was with glasses was short and not helpful at all. She was not nice. If this employee was at all decent, I probably would have ordered the steak taco combo with the corn flour tortilla. I got the impression that she didn't want to help me, really more focused on joking with her co-worker. Her coworker kept calling her "negra" which is a slur in Spanish. The two of them probably thought that I wasn't fluent in Spanish. After that lousy impression from these jokers, I figured that I would roll out to the restaurant next door.

      I haven't been here since well before the pandemic. Their operation is returning to normal. I was pleased to see that salsa bar was operating and well-stocked. I had my usual bean burrito smothered in hot source and salsa. It was as I remembered. Hopefully, I will be able to return soon,

      Great portion size and value. The nachos are my favorite, and it has been great to have the salsa bar return, as well.

      Ok, so I've actually never been to baja! My my is a school bus driver and always gets little gifts and stuff for the holidays from her students. Someone gave her a gift card and well-- she knows I'm currently employeed at a non profit, in social work no less- so ya girls a little tight on the money. So I said, thabk you and decided to try it out today. Who doesn't like free food?!

      Service was quick, like any old fast food place. I got the nacho pork burrito. Got it to go because I got off work a little early & wanted to eat in the comfort of my own home. So when I pulled this thing out to eat I was FLOORED by how freakin big it was. If I had known in advance I would have saved it for next week (spending the card) because who knows that when you can make one meal last two days, it's a very good thing.

      It was pretty good. The pork was great! The only thing that made me sad is I should've just eaten it there. The nacho cheese hardened pretty fast :(

      SO, the experience was a great one! You get what you paid for for sure. If you want a quick, inexpensive meal consider Baja Fresh!

      Picture so you can see how stinkin BIG this thing is, what the...?!?

      We had chicken and pork bowls. They were fresh and flavorful. The chicken was tender and generous. The pork was also good but a bit skimpy. The chips are excellent.

      I have an entertainment coupon that I use here. The cashier would not accept it. Food is just ok. I would go somewhere else next time.
