This was a great place to quickly stop for takeout while on a road trip. Very close to the highway, extremely fast service, and all the staff was very nice. We got a couple of quesadillas and tacos and everyone enjoyed their food. We agreed that the soft tacos were our favorites more so than the hard shells. The hard shells were clearly fried in house, made using their tortillas, so they were very crisp. The soft taco tortillas also seemed to be made in house and had great texture and flavor! All the ingredients seemed fresh and were well-prepared. read more

This was my first experience with Baja Burrito. The food was great and a lot of it. The prices were very reasonable. The owner went above and beyond to make my grandson's birthday party special. I will definitely recommend them to everyone! read more

This place reminds me of surf taco. I love surf taco. This place is great. The things I would do for these burritos. Service is great, lovely ambiance. read more

Great burrito! All the toppings are fresh! Moved back to NJ from SoCal 4 years ago (lived in SoCal for 16 years). The burritos are very much SoCal style. The staff is very friendly. The chips are also very good! The interior is very beachy style. Highly recommend for burritos and fajitas! read more

Very extensive menu with many interesting options, including many seafood options. The tacos were very tasty. Enjoyed the Baja and chicken tacos the most. The steak ones were just OK. Very nice people at the counter. Everything else coming out looked very good as well. Eager to go back. read more

Clinton has many restaurants but most are not for quick and casual dining, so it was a pleasure on a recent visit to discover Baja Burrito. On a late Saturday afternoon, most of the visitors were getting their food to go (or perhaps delivered). There is indoor and outdoor seating; I ordered from the friendly staff member and had my food brought outside when it was ready. I ordered a signature item, the surf and turf burrito, and it was filled with hot steak pieces, shrimp, bell peppers, rice/beans, cheese and spices. It was very good and fairly priced. Baja is a nice alternative to chain dining with the fast/casual style intact. read more

Baja Burrito is a great asset for Clinton! While we often get takeout, our family sat down the other day. The food is fresh and on point. It has very nice flavor and ingredients. My entire family loves it. Simple and delicious. The staff is also great. They are friendly, remember customers and always just so sweet. Whether you want takeout or a casual meal, this is a great option! read more

Food was dry. Tried the burrito and Tacos. No flavor. It's on par with Taco bell but at a much higher price.

UPDATE: Soooo.... since a covid we have turned into Dashers. The good that comes with that is SECOND CHANCES to try places in the area willing to participate. Baja has redeemed itself! The Burrito bowls are AMAZING!! Chips are good too but the do it yourself bowls are legit delicious. They can feed two people too. Why bother with a burrito wrap? For real lol... Downside- no utensils with orders. read more

Stopped on a whim on a road trip off of I-78. Very easy access. Burritos and sides were tasty and a good value. Also try the fried avocados if you're curious. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Stopped in for lunch while traveling thru NJ. My husband doesn't really do Mexican food but I convinced him to stop. He said it was the best burrito he ever had. 6 hrs later, he's still talking about the burrito! Kudos Baja- I think you converted him!!! Thx!!!! Ps, my burrito was also really, really good!!! read more

Great selection of items and everything tastes very fresh if maybe a little under seasoned which is fine with me. Had the crazy bird burrito which has chicken, beans, cheese, lettuce and tomato and it was yummy. My only gripe is maybe a few more tortilla chips on the side because they give you about 10. read more

Expensive for two tacos about $14. You should be charging like $2 with the amount of product you put into it.

I ordered the Taco Town Salad with grilled chicken and it's seriously one of the best taco salads I've ever had. It was served in a taco shell which was crispy and had a charred taste to it. The grilled chicken was the best part of the salad, perfectly seasoned and grilled. Food was inexpensive, served hot and fresh and the place wasn't kitschy at all. read more

Baja Burrito Co - The Taco Town Salad with grilled chicken - Mexican Near Me - Clinton, New Jersey

This was unfortunately some of the worst Mexican food I've ever had :( The menu seems to really sell it as authentic or at least México inspired - it's not. Salsa was laughably bad (we literally laughed at how bad it was, there was no other way to respond). I give 3 stars because the service was good, the place was clean, and the ingredients seemed fresh. They just failed to meet expectations of the category that they further built up with their menu. read more

Drove from New York City to Arizona last week. Many stops. roadside food. We even had olive garden one day. Baja burrito was by far the most outstanding. I wish I could have stayed another day just to eat there again. The food was fresh and delicious! The owners and staff were friendly and gracious! want to eat there again! read more

The food is fresh. Nice friendly staff. Clean restaurant. We tried the guacamole, fried avocado, a burrito and tacos. They serve pizza also, but we didn't try it. There is not much to choose from in Clinton, so we will probably go again when we are in the mood for Mexican food again, even though not authentic which is my preference and it tasted a little bland. I definitely prefer more spice. read more

The food isn't as authentic as it could be, but given their location its understandable. Ingredients are fresh and they have some well made sauces to go with certain dishes. read more

my husband and I stopped at Baja Burrito while traveling and found it fresh and tasty. The interior is warm and creative, with wooden beams, and a mosaic countertop. The staff were very friendly and we found options on the menu. My husband really enjoyed his traditional burrito of beef, rice and veggies. I loved my Kai's Hawaiian Burrito with delicately seasoned chicken and rice, crisp corn, avocado, and more. Wr cannot handle heat, and ate the soft-wrap burritos without additional sauces and found them fresh and delicious. read more

Fantastic food with a great atmosphere. Service was fast and friendly and menu is reasonably priced.

Friendly, fast & kinda fun. We tried some of the "different" pizzas & enjoy them. Burrito Bowls were big! We will probably go back.

Got the loaded nachos to-go because I was in the mood to not care about calories that day. It was okayyy. I wish the salsa bar wasn't a thing and you could just order them to go when you had a pick-up order as my family and I did. read more

Burrito was good but for $19 I would've thought it would come with a few chips. Instead, it was just a plain burrito. read more

My husband and I love coming here! It's a bit of a drive but well worth it! The food is always super fresh and packed with flavor! The people that work here are always friendly and quick to accommodate. Took a star away for this visit because the Mexican Street Taco was too dry (husband said). Not pictured but absolutely amazing was the Nola Taco omg if you love Cajun style chicken this is for you! Outdoor shaded seating is available it's on a quiet country road. To be noted this restaurant uses eco friendly and sustainable products that are better for our environment and oceans!!! read more

Absolutely LOVE this place! I love the cool vibe. I love the decor. I love the friendly staff. I love the salsas. I like the prices. Most importantly, I LOVE the food! Huge selection. Decent portions. Fresh as fresh can be. And the flavor is sooooo bomb! We had the Surf & Turf Burrito. Super tasty and the shrimps were huge! And I had the Smiling Salmon Salad. Words cannot express my LOVE for this salad. I eat out a lot and only one other place has a better salmon salad. ONE. I LOVE it even if it's #2 (imo)! So much to try! MUST go back! Only one tiny suggestion: I wish they used real silverware & plates. Not only is it environmentally friendly, but it's cheaper (for the store) and easier to eat on/with (for me...because it's hard to cut the burrito with plastic utensils in that tiny basket & the paper underneath gets soggy & you end up cutting the paper with the burrito & eating both of it...it's a nightmare for me...ijs). read more

Baja is great! Fast service, food is very authentic. New in our community. Menu is fantastic, a lot of choices. 5 stars!! read more

i usually give this place 5 stars, however the last few times i got delivery from here it has been a disappointment. My mexican street tacos were good, but I always ask for extra of the salsa verde (they give you 4 salsas usually) and I never get it. I like to put that salsa on my tacos so when i asked for it and don't get it, it brings down the quality of the tacos for me. The Hawaiian bowl had barely any chicken and was all rice. honestly i'd rather just make tacos at home next time instend of spending $30 on disappointment. read more

Baja Burrito Co - Mexican Street Taco with salsa verde yum!!!! - Mexican Near Me - Clinton, New Jersey

Great tacos and burritos here with some interesting twists on Cal-Mex cuisine. One semi-hidden treasure tho is the Shrimp Scampi pizza; a white pie loaded with shrimp and garlic. Pizza at a Cal-Mex restaurant? The previous restaurant in this space was a pizza & Italian restaurant and I guess they left the pizza oven behind. We stumbled upon the scampi pie almost by accident and it's our favorite item on their menu, but in truth, everything we have gotten from Baja Burrito has been excellent. read more

I just got a small order for takeout. They have wonderful food with generous portions and extremely friendly staff. It's also very easy to get to. I would highly recommend it to anyone!!! Can't wait to go back again! Michele read more

I drive past this place every time I visit my mom and there are not a lot of mexican/burrito places in the area so I checked it out! Just a warning, the parking lot is very small and at times hard to pull out of as it is on a busy street. I ordered the surf & turf burrito as it looked like that was the most popular item on their menu. It was good but there could have been more meat in it. It came with like 6 chips on the side. I will be coming back if I'm craving burritos but I think I like chipotle better? I agree with the other reviews that it did not have a lot of flavor. The interior design is unique and cool. read more

Really good, freshly prepared burritos and homemade guac (perfectly under salted). Liked the outdoor seating set up as well. Biggest complaint is their abundance of single use plastics. We dined "in" but everything came to our table in those to-go style containers and individually wrapped utensils. There was no obvious recycling effort of the plastic waste either, it all went straight into the garbage. Very disappointing. read more

New go-to place for lunch! Wish I took pictures. My boyfriend and I had never been before, but I'm happy we did. The burrito was nicely wrapped and a decent size, very thick. The tacos tasted authentic and two was enough to fill me. So so so good. Never going to Taco Bell ever again. The decor was adorable too. Lots of colors and a cute small octopus mural. It was quiet and simple. The only staff member was a gentleman, all smiles! Will 100% go again. Kinda hidden on the side of the road in Clinton. Price was very reasonable, our whole meal was around $20. Recommend for a good place to chill and eat. read more

As we were coming home from a weekend in PA we decided to stop for some food and came across Baja burrito! I'm glad we did because the food was soooo delicious that I would make the 40 minute drive from home just to eat there again!! read more

Fantastic quick meal. I got the surf and turf bowl which was a perfect amount and was pleasantly surprised that it came with chips as well. Got the small cheese quesadilla as well which was good. read more

I criticized the sauces the first time I visited, which was when the restaurant first opened. The current sauces are terrific! Great improvement! The chips are also very good. I REALLY loved the BBGood BBQ Burrito, which has chicken breast, rice, beans, avocado, pineapple, etc. It is so delicious you don't need additional sauce. Absolutely fabulous! Will order it again! read more

Kinda hit and miss, which would be ok if it weren't so expensive. Bought a few tacos and burritos. I'm both cases the chicken was super dry and overcooked. Great homemade tortilla chips and salsa. I would eat there more often if there if the food quality was more consistent read more

Great place for gluten free. I ordered a frijoles black bean bowl which was fresh and delicious. The others ordered various soft and hard tacos. Everyone enjoyed the meal. The service was attentive and the ambiance was festive. read more

Expensive and white washed. Come here if you want Americanized Hispanic but if you're looking for authenticity and flavor, this is not the place. read more

We had high hopes as we love tacos. However, this was a disappointment. The Mexican street taco, which is grilled beef, onions and a lime, came with very little beef and the beef was bland and tough. I've attached a pic. The guacamole was unsalted and bland. Baja shrimp taco had the same issues of lack of flavor. Additionally, the flour tortillas were cold-they could have been better if they were grilled or at least placed on the flattop for a moment. read more

Baja Burrito Co - a hand holding a burrito - Mexican Near Me - Clinton, New Jersey

Had driven past it many times and was always curious, so we finally came here on a Friday night for the first time. Small place but very bright and colorful and cheerful. You place your order at the counter and staff brings your order to you. I had the South Street Shrimp Tacos. They are kind of small so I recommend order two versus one. It comes with tortilla chips on the side, and you can choose from 4 different types of salsa at the salsa station. They were good. Not great. I've definitely had better shrimp tacos but if you're very hungry and want your food fast, this place is great. We placed our order at the counter and our food arrived 5 minutes later. Everything on their menu is very inexpensive, which makes it great for families. read more
