Came here with the SO to meet up with a couple of friends. Our friends like this place, and it seemed popular enough, so we figured it ought to be good. We were lucky that there wasn't a wait to get seated, and we were served right away. I got their veggie tacos, which also came with a side of rice and beans. The tacos were pretty good, and the rest of my party enjoyed their respective choices as well. They have a full bar and a few specialty cocktails on their menu as well, though I chose not to drink. There's also a parking lot, which we were not aware of initially. read more

The place was pretty dirty and felt a bit uncomfortable to dine at. The food was delicious though and the cocktail was good enough but have had better read more

Randomly walked in here while visiting the town of Beacon and am I glad we did. Interior is very rustic and clean. We had the $14 three tacos: steak, barbacoa and shrimp. Steak was my favorite; well seasoned, tender and oh so delicious. Barbacoa was great too and the fried shrimp was good. We also had the southwest platter which was pork belly taco, buffalo chicken chimichangas and carnitas taco. Pork belly was very tender and carnitas were well seasoned. I have to admit I was not a big fun of the buffalo chicken chimichangas; it was on the sour side of things. This platter came with yellow rice (needed salt), black beans, guacamole (now I'm not sure what but something was off with this guacamole, it had all the ingredients but the taste was not good) and salsa. Our waitress was very attentive and cheerful. read more

Amazing strawberry jalapeño margarita! We ordered flautas, paella, beef brisket burrito and coconut short ribs bowl. All were very good, large enough portions for another meal. Service was good too. Numerous sporting events were on tv. read more

Baja 328 - Paella, brisket burrito and strawberry jalapeño margarita. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Beacon, New York

Great upscale Mexican dive bar. The most expansive offerings of tequilas. They have sampler menu for the tequilas as well. Food is very authentic. Does not have the standard Mexican restaurent vibe. Service friendly and assist you selection of tequilas and food. Will be there again! The challenge is parking in Beacon. We lucked out and got a spot close by. Great evening. Enjoyed it. read more

Oh where do I start? I'm glad this place is open until late on Main Street. It's a really big place with lots of seating. The workers are nice and they are clearly short staffed for the amount of business they get! Now, onto the food, we ordered too much for two people, but the tacos were just awful. It was very dry and we had to drench it in hot sauce and lime juice. The beef ones and the rice and beans tastes like school food. The fish tacos were sooo sad looking, you can't call those fish tacos! The two stars are for the drinks - I recommend the Tito's watermelon lemonade drink! read more

Not many vegan options. The ones they had were not good. Need impossible meat or other creative option

We were seated in back of the restaurant what a dark, gloomy, dismal, and depressing space. The loudness was unbearable. A staff was moving tables and chairs and slamming them down loudly right next to us while we were trying to eat. We were hoping to be seated towards the front. This space was really awful. Our server was great, our cocktails were great! (Spicy mango margarita) Empanada was bland as was the accompanying "crema". It was actually not a crema. It was a thinned out bland green sauce that had no flavor. Our tacos were also bland. We asked for salt to help elevate it-but it only helped so much. I remember coming here a few years back and the food was flavorful. This was a disappointment. What a waste of a "cheat day" read more

Went here on a Friday night after my son's baseball game at Beacon Memorial Park (just around the block). Called ahead and made a reservation, no problem. The place was jamming but our table was ready when we arrived. The restaurant has a cool vibe. Indoor & outdoor seating in the summer, plus an open air feel with the garage door open, and right in the heart of Beacon. We ordered a combination of items such as nachos, quesadillas, fajitas and salads and everything was just ok. The service was very good. No complaints about that at all. The hostess seated us right away and our waitress was attentive and friendly. The restaurant is definitely very loud on a busy night, so you just have to be prepared for that. Also, be careful ordering the fajitas as it may set off the fire alarm lol. I'd definitely give this place a 4 if the food was a little better. Seems like a good place to go for drinks though. read more

Service and hostess attitude is horrible. Sat with an empty drink for 15 minutes before waitress came back. Not busy at all! Food has gone way down hill. Scallops way over cooked pork belly extremely tough! Used to be good now is just mediocre food at best tourist trap. Many better places to eat at in Beacon and fishkill. Walk down the street to carters for an amazing meal or cafe maya for Mexican so much better. read more

The service was fast and very friendly. The atmosphere was eye appealing. The latin cuisine was authentic, plated very nicely, hot, plentiful and deliciosos!!!! Worth the trip to get here. I should mention the Bartender went out of his way to meet us and was so nice! read more

This place needs a manager customer service it's very bad and that's a huge no no especially when your sitting here waiting for 20 min and no asked if we have been helped bummer. read more

I've been here handful of times in the afternoon on weekends for drinks only. This is the first time I'm here for dinner with friends on a Friday night. The place was pretty hopping and we were lucky to get the last table without waiting. The had a lot of tequilas and about 6 beers on tap. We ordered yuca fries and nachos as starters. The nacho was decent but the yuca fries were tough and not great. I ordered their 3 taco combo: shrimp, scallop, and sushi w. Rice (daily special), and was not impressed either. The taco wrap was corn tortillas, a bit stiff and not much taste. The shrimp was a bit overcooked and the scallops in the taco were small and tough. My least favorite was the sushi rice. The rice was too mushy and it was just weird eating rice, sushi, wrapped in a tasteless corn tortillas. I don't think any of my friends liked their food either. The only thing we enjoyed were the drinks and atmosphere. By 10 pm, they have DJ playing hip-hop music and it was fun hanging and chilling with friends. If we do come back, it will be drinks only for me. read more

Bar top was gross and the bartenders were not attentive. Drink was nothing special. Overall the staff is not on top of cleanliness or tidiness in restaurants in Beacon and it's disappointing. read more

Been here a few times with friends and I've had good experiences each time. There's a variety of things to try and choose from. Serving portions were good and food was fresh. read more

Drinks were good and nice environment to sit and have a drink on a nice day. Calamari was overly fried, dry and salty, empanada was okay, the tacos, just no, and in stark contrast to calamari I think no salt is added to rice and beans, or any seasoning for that matter. Service was good. read more

Ordered 4 tacos. 1 was great, the blackboard special. The carnitas and al pastor are average. Drinks were good though. We ordered a watermelon-mint margarita and a Mexican mule. Service was good as well, though the servers should be a bit more knowledgeable about the tequilas given their extensive menu. read more

Look I've been driving by this place for years, I thought one day I have to try it. That day was today, stopped in and honestly didn't have huge expectations on the food I was more excited about the drink selection - this lead to my 4/5 review. Service wasn't bad, they had a routine which made sure we were taken care of, drinks were yummy - I had a Don Julio the ol' lady had a refreshing drink with watermelon, . Food- this wasn't their highlight, I mean don't get me wrong it was fresh and well put together; it was more of a product of the Hudson Valley - lacks flavors. Again, the taste was good, just wished the tacos had a bit more flavor, that makes or breaks a taco in my mind: Seasoning! It was a good stop on our way home, good drinks and good food - I would return. read more

I'm am sad to say I will not be returning. This is my Third time at this place. First time, second time great atmosphere, food, and drinks. I returned recently to have lunch with a friend. They asked us if it was okay if we could sit in the back outside. I though no problem, that they have to have done something nice back there. To my surprise we were placed next to a cheap tent, the door, and Best of all the garbage bin. The specialty drinks were awful, the taco salad, dry and the shell was over fried. The waitress was good and she made sure we weren't charged for the crap they gave us. If you do plan to go I would say yes to the taco and street corn. read more

Baja 328 - Street Corn - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Beacon, New York

This review is strictly for food. Drinks look great and the selection of tequila is strong. The food, tho - bland, big, and so inauthentic. I'm all about fusion and new takes on traditional cuisine. Been here three times now and each visit is more meh. Today we had guac and chips, and honestly I've had mayo with more flavor. Street Corn - weird but not awful. Tortilla soup - nope. Rice bowl with shrimp, shrimp tacos, enchiladas rounded out the selection. Drenched in hot sauce it finally started to wake up and taste like something, mostly hot sauce. Meet friends at this central location for drinks, then eat elsewhere. I've tried three times now for food due to convenience of meeting there, but won't get fooled again. Really good service and clean bathrooms, tho but not enough to o compensate. read more

Leaving 1 star because it's the lowest possible. I just ate here and had to write this review before I forget. DONT EAT HERE. This is the worst Mexican food I've ever had in my LIFE. I'm not exaggerating and not very picky. The rice and beans were so bland and tasted boxed. The tacos were loaded with dry meat and nothing else flavorful on them. The quesadillas were bland, dry, old, no flavor. Everything lacked flavor but just wasn't good? The max and cheese was mediocre at best. Drinks were nothing special and very sweet. Very very disappointed. As the restaurant got more full the service got worse. Me and the other 2 girls I was with didn't finish our food and agreed it was just bad. read more

Came here after hearing great things. The wait staff was good but the food was kinda bland. The drinks are really good though! I would come back for drinks anytime, but I'd eat at home before I came here. The Baja burger didn't really taste like anything and it's half chorizo! How does something that's 50% chorizo taste like cardboard wtf!!! But my husband doesn't eat meat and he said his tamales with veggies was amazing, but I tasted it and I was not impressed, salt is important please start using salt! Please try the spicy cucumber margarita it is amazing!!! I will be back for drinks in the near future and maybe a taco if I drink enough margaritas to forget that the food has no salt. This is just my opinion please please stop by and support a local business and make your own mind up about this place! read more

Baja 328 - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Beacon, New York

easy no for me. everything we ordered was SALTY. i got a trio of tacos: steak, shrimp, al pastor - all were very salty, i couldn't finish it despite my hunger after climbing mt. beacon. we also ordered the tequila scampi, which was also very salty. quesadilla was decent. chipotle wings were ok. hence the two stars and not one. for drinks, a draft beer and a sangria. don't go for the sangria, as it tastes more like a glass of simple syrup. i had to send it back. staff also needs a little work. our order was initially given to the table next to us. luckily, i noticed. otherwise, if the other party touched our food and had to wait for more food, we probably would've walked out. go elsewhere ‍ read more

Everything about this place is amazing, from the tequila pitcher, tacos and wings, and mostly the service. Our server George took care of us and made our experience here very enjoyable. read more

Stopped in here for lunch on a Friday. Got a bowl of chicken tortilla soup, which was a huge bowl (red flag) and completely inedible. Way too salty, grease running up and down the sides of the bowl. Actually was disgusting. Thankfully, the waitress took it off my bill when I couldn't eat it. Ordered 3 tacos which were messy and pretty below average flavorwise. Definitely will not be back here again unless I want a margarita with no food. read more

Yum, yum, yum. We had tuna nachos and a trio of different tacos - barbacoa, carnitas, and chicken. So good. Another diner had street corn that arrived on a platter and looked incredible. I had to ask - "how was the corn?" Answer: "Unbelievably fantastic!" Nice decor and when nice, they open the front windows. Good customer service too. read more

Food is not good. Guacamole had a strange acrid flavor with huge chunks of avocado....like they couldn't even both to mash it. Didn't taste fresh at all. The tacos were gross. The fish taco came with a sickeningly sweet pineapple salsa on it and the chicken taco was strange with big chunks of chicken and a creamy sauce. Also they charge $14 for 3 tacos. The sour scream served with the nachos is not sour cream at all, rather some kind of mayo substitute. read more

Great food and excellent service Morgan is the best server! I love this place! Drinks are spectacular! And I love their burritos

We loved this spot. From the awesome bar area with amazing selection of tequila and mezcal, to the very friendly and helpful waitstaff and the open air feel with outdoor tables and garage door open onto Main Street. Happy hour specials - $2 off drinks. Spicy margarita was on point! We had a selection of tacos six different kinds and they were all delicious. We'll be back and maybe for a flight of tequila. read more

Food is decent (hence the second star), but very inattentive, very rude and aggressive staff. Will probably proceed to provide insults if you question anything. They also charge the customer 4% for using cards. This is after multiple visits, not just one. The environment needs to change in this place. read more

Stopped in for lunch during the week. I feel it may be a good place to maybe just grab a drink or two but as for the food, I will pass. Very bland and overpriced. It is disappointing when places market themselves to be "authentic Mexican food" and I can tell you for certain, this is NOT. read more

Went here yesterday afternoon. Food was overly greasy but we ate It anyways. Woke up in the middle of the night and now I've been throwing up non-stop along with 2 others that were with me. The service was great and this seems like a good place to grab a drink, we left a pretty solid tip too. But DO NOT order any food. read more

Horrible. About 5 groups of about 6 people were turned down No signs of managers and all these tables reserved literally waited more than 1 hr read more

I'd like to preface this review by saying the food and space itself deserve a 5 star rating. The staff, however, get a solid 1 star. We stopped in midday during slow hours and were the only customers at the time. The staff made no efforts to acknowledge us or censor their conversations while we were there. We seated ourselves at the bar and within 2 minutes, our server Benji, the bartender and another server started talking about smoking joints and how much cash they had made, all clearly within earshot. This was a lengthy conversation. Toward the end of our meal, we wanted to double our order to take home food. We couldn't get the bartender's or our server's attention because they were wrapped up in conversation for an extended period of time with another customer, who was the only other person in the restaurant. Eventually, our server came over and said "Sh's a food blogger with 200k followers on IG. It's one of those deals." While our server was actively ignoring our requests for service, we asked the bartender who wasn't serving anybody else to place our takeout order. She kept referring us to the server, who again ignored our table (remember, the place was empty aside from the 3 customers I mentioned and 4 employees). When our takeout was finally ready, the food sat for several minutes. It was clear we noticed this so the bartender who was standing right next to the bag yet refused to hand it to us told us that our server would grab it for us in a minute. Needless to say, he didn't rush at all. I think we were given poor service based on our age and the way we were dressed. Regardless of any of this, every customer deserves respect. A word to the wise for the owner: you're acing the hard stuff. Invest more in hiring more professional staff to represent your business. read more

What a beautiful day to spend with my dear friend at Baja 328. The best thing about the mail however was my cucumber jalapeño Margarita. She had the Baja chili which was so so needed salt and some space. I had the taco salad which was ho-hum needed some help. And we each had half of three different tacos the L Pastore was only OK. The fish taco needed some pepper. And the short ribs was probably the best of the three. You're probably better place if you could go in Beacon read more

Checked this place out on a Friday night with my boyfriend. It was slammed but the staff was quick and we only waited 15 minutes. In the meantime, we sat at the bar. They have an extensive tequila menu but also other spirits; a HUGE plus because so many places in Beacon only carry wine or beer- a concept I'm not a fan of. I asked the bartender if he could make a skinny girl margarita which he wasn't familiar with but he followed my directions to the letter and it was PERFECT!!!! When we were seated (seating arrangements are tables with either chairs or community seat booths with tables ) we were given the menu and weren't rushed which was nice because like I said, it was crowded. The decor is very modern industrial meets trendy bar lounge. Dim sexy lighting. I totally approved. The menu is one page but had reasonable prices and some choices for vegetarians/vegans, including a kale salad. My boyfriend got the gringos tacos which came in a crunchy shell which we loved. It feels like no restaurant (other than taco bell) serves those anymore which is dumb imo. I ordered the veggie quasadillas which were filled with mushrooms, a black bean puree and corn- I held the cheese. It also came with a side of greens and guacamole which I also enjoyed. Food wasn't greasy but fresh and delicious. We both liked our orders and drinks (my boyfriend drank a long island which was also very good, not too strong or weak). We didn't wait long for our order which we were impressed with and we really liked how diverse the diners were. Some places in the area feel like they're meant for families or the hipster crowd or old school Beacon locals (and all are great, by the way) but this place attracts everyone and it feels more cosmopolitan for it. I highly recommend checking it out. Staff is friendly. I also love how the front door is more of a glass wall concept that opens up. Very cool. read more
