    Nachos

    I've been coming to this place for three years and by now I can say Baja buds is truly my comfort meal in LA. Whenever I don't know what to eat I come here and never get disappointed by the quality. My forever favorite is the nachos with carne asada, everything is so fresh and tastes a lot healthier than other Mexican places I've had. The service is always nice and consistent, and the restaurant is always organized and clean.

    All the extra delicious food it's gone because I was so excited to eat this! Quesadilla carne asada & best horchata

    Baja Buds is a gem of a restaurant. The food is delicious always fresh and made in front of you. I have been coming here for 20 years and the quality has not declined one bit, everything tastes as good as it did back then. This is by far my favorite place, people working there are always so nice and friendly. My entire family loves this food I even had it for my birthday it's that amazing!

    My go to for reasonably priced and delicious Mexican food made to order. The casual spot with friendly service never disappoints. My go to is a fish tostada while my parents opt for chicken burritos and pork tacos. Their plates also are awesome.

    The last surviving location of once many around Los Angeles. I moved to LA from San Diego myself 5 years ago, so this does not taste quite like the Baja Mexican that I am used to, especially black beans and their specific flavors here, but still it's a solid choice for a good and casual meal. It's just like Chipotle or a cafeteria and that you order at the counter and then watch them put the toppings on that you wish. There is a fairly large parking lot directly in front of the restaurant in the strip mall it's located in and we had no trouble finding a spot there for a Friday night dinner. Service was very fast and they got all of our food items cracked. I started off with their fish taco, which was fairly good, although not quite like the ones back in SD. It's more of a street taco and I would still recommend it. Next came the burrito grande which was very large, but very good. I wish the carne would be a bit more seasoned, but still I enjoyed it. Lastly, we ordered the chicken taquitos which were very very good. The chicken was still juicy and it was fried perfectly and we really enjoyed it. Overall, a good casual Mexican spot for any occasion. I would recommend and plan to be back in the future.

    The food was amazing the customer service is also good. And the establishment is nice and clean. I tore up the whole plate. It was so cheesy, flavorful. I actually wanted to go back and get another order lol

One ordered the chicken salad with the goddess I ordered the veggie wrap with a few subs and another worker ordered cafe ceasar salad And one more order was melrose wrap So first thing first parking was a beast i had a literal confrontation with another person over parking which was so stressful and the parking guy/security guy only intensified the situation but it was over just as fast as it started. After that i was able to get out and make the order for my food. The lady at the window was so kind and helpful she made the experience i had with parking all worth it. I waited about 15 min which wasnt too bad i only made the order there as opposed making it online because of the subs. Now the food was simply amazing. She made sure i had plenty of sauce utensils and ect. Every single solitary bite was so delicious and the food had a very fresh appealing taste. I def recommend calif chicken cafe 10/10 for those that have never been here just plan accordingly as far as parking but the food is worth it.

I hate ranch dressing and they are very nice to give me the dressing I like. The service there is great and the place is just beautiful. The prices are fair and they will take very good care of you. Besides their salads try their burgers, they are great, especially their bacon cheese burger. They even have a kid's menu and they are kid friendly. There is nothing not to love here.

And used the Order on Line feature to place my order for pick up. I was feeling adventurous and veered from my usual Burrata Salad and ordered the Truffle Parma Burrata Sandwich (panino) and headed over for pick up. I remembered why I don't stop by as often as I'd like, the parking lot is awkward, despite the kind and attentive parking lot attendant. Squeezed into a compact spot that had an over sized truck next to me that made for maneuvering in and out of my compact vehicle a bit ridiculous. Walked in, picked up my sandwich and headed back to work to enjoy it. Now I'm in no way complaining, but this sandwich is exactly what it says it is, fresh ciabatta bread, fresh burrata cheese (yum), prosciutto, caramelized onions (perfection) and truffle cream sauce. Everything delicious but the truffle cream is pretty potent, be aware. Maybe they went a bit heavy on the Truffle Cream sauce but it was just too rich & potent for me today. (I ended up just scraping the burrata cheese off and eating that alone instead of the second half of the sandwich, and yes I'm a truffle fan). Will I be back, absolutely! Would I order this particular sandwich again, no. The Burrata House is pretty small, so just a small wall counter and bar stools inside to eat and a few tables outside to enjoy your meal.
