Wow. Amazing. Gimme 14 of em. My belly, full and happy. My wallet, practically untouched. And as someone who hardly gets to speak my native language, thank you for speaking Spanish with me Nashville needs to know about Baja! read more

Have been meaning to try this Nashville staple for a while now and I was not disappointed! Visited midweek for lunch and it was quite busy but the line moves fast. I ordered the steak salad with chips. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of ingredients and serving size. Wayyyy more variety than Chipotle and everything was very fresh. There is also a salsa bar - the pineapple was my favorite and great if you're craving something slightly sweet. I was impressed by how many menu options there were and look forward to coming back to try more. read more

Baja Burrito feels like you've stepped into a local gem of a place on the coast of California. I loved this place and the vibes are on point. Very surfer Mexico Cali vibes in here. The staff is efficient and although they are pushing orders through they are attentive. I tried the basic order for my first visit and got a steak burrito but want to try some of their other popular options. Fish tacos looked good too. read more

First time here. The line seemed long but it truly goes very fast. I started outside almost at the end of the building and within 10-15 min I had my order. The register is right up front so it goes quicker than you'd think. I was debating on which protein to get and went with the pork. I was worried it might be too spicy for me (I'm a baby when it comes to heat) but it wasn't spicy at all. It was delicious! There are a lot of options. Different tortilla shells, proteins and then toppings. It was really hard to hear when the person behind the counter was talking to me. It's a small space so with everyone inside talking it was just too loud for me. My only complaint would be that the woman adding my toppings kind of just plopped them down in one spot rather than making sure each item was spread out throughout the burrito. So like my first two bites had sour cream but that was it. There was a teaspoon of pineapple salsa, so one bite has that in it. Two bites of guacamole. Next time I'd get a bowl so I could mix everything up and make sure it was spread throughout. But in general it was a delicious meal. I'm pretty small and usually don't finish a meal and have left overs but I couldn't stop eating this. I got the regular sized burrito and ate the whole thing. read more

Why do chicken and steak need gluten? They don't. I appreciate the allergen menu but I was told now the only protein without dairy AND gluten was grilled fish. And that wasn't tasty. I used to eat here all the time but since they posted this I can't even have a good salad. :( Come on, Baja! I love you guys, help a girl out. read more

Baja Burrito - Why do chicken and steak need gluten? New allergen menu. - Mexican Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

IG and yelp needs to stop hyping up this place. Someone who grew up eating California Mission Style Burritos "La Taqueria" to be exact this is a far cry from anything close to it. First red flag the chipotle set up, at least Chipotle ( I haven't ate at Chipotle in years because its quality went down) has great quac! Second Red Flag is no Dorado style, Cheese has no opportunity to melt because the meat is cold & flavorless. After a few bites we just threw away our burritos los dio asquito! False advertising! NOT A CALIFORNIA MISSION STYLE BURRITO not even hitting El Fajarito on 24th & Mission! read more

Ok... I DO NOT want to reveal my age with this review but whatever... it's been a while since I've been coming here. A few same ppl and a few new. The menu still almost the same except the prices (for obvious reason$) as like any other place. Food has kept its signature taste and the amount of food. They still have their horchata and tea drinks, their salsa bar and regular fountain drinks. They have tables very close to each other so don't be shy, they also have a patio with umbrellas for the hot weather's, didn't see heaters but maybe they do for the winter? It's super busy and people still line up outside waiting for it to open up. Come check them out! read more

Can't beat 8 bucks for a burrito better than chipotle! The restaurant itself has a ton of options and even an outdoor seating area. Parking lot is a little tight and upon leaving my husband and I got told we "pulled out of our parking spot like sh!t but I can't hold other people against this place. Amazing find. read more

If you live in Nashville and haven't gone to Baja Burrito, what are you doing?? This place is a Nashville staple. I went at 5:45pm after work on a Wednesday night and it was surprisingly pretty empty. Within minutes of me arriving there was a line out the door. That's the Baja that I know and love haha. As always the food was great. I got a steak burrito. Can't wait to go back again soon! Also Baja does have a small parking lot. You can get parking pretty easily since most people come and go, but be prepared to be a little flexible with parking if need be. read more

This place stays packed fyi. Came for lunch and the line was wrapped around the building. I left and returned that evening in hopes to get in. It was still packed with people, but the line was much shorter. The food is really good and the employees here are very friendly. I will say if you get anxious with trying to order food because you have numerous people behind you waiting, just look at the menu beforehand to know what you want. Parking is a madhouse in that area. Sheesh. They do have outdoor and indoor seating. I can really speak on the cleanliness of the place because there was stuff on the floor and some of the tables hadn't been wiped down from the previous guests. The salsa station was a bit chaotic. Especially when several people want salsa. It's a small designated area for that, that also interferes with the drink station. Have a little patience. The salmon salad was pretty good. I had a bone in my salmon, so I didn't end up finishing it. It's a personal thing lol. I highly recommend if you want something light. read more

the BEST burrito in Nashville! I've been going to Baja Burrito for at least 20 years - food quality and efficiency of service have NEVER fluctuated. The pineapple salsa is so good. I got two fruit teas so I could stash one in the fridge since I was in town to visit family. This was of course my fave meal during my short visit. read more

I'm from Arizona and I'm becoming saddened by the fact I'll never have this marvel of meat and grain. This left me feeling better and I could taste every amount of freshness. literally so good I can't even somewhat compare to a language it's more of a moan read more

Baja Burrito is worth the hype and the years of love. This is a great family owned business that brings so much joy to the community. It feels like a hole in the wall type of place. Parking is kind of hard depending on the time you go. Price is amazing and I have moved the food I've gotten from there. read more

Best spot in Nashville. I eat here regularly and recommend it to everyone. Food is fresh, filling, and reasonably priced. Always a long line, but service is very fast. This is a must go spot. ALSO: Try the churros; they are amazing read more

Baja Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I am channeling the enthusiasm of my dear friend, Ellie, as I write this review -- Ellie loves, and I mean LOVES, Baja. Baja does not claim to be anything but exactly what it is: a fast, affordable local Chipotle-esque burrito joint, with generous portions and unlimited salsa. Here, Ellie would probably mention the pineapple salsa, which she adores and raves about. I'm more of a spice lover, so I opt for the option with the most HEAT to douse on my burrito bowls. Baja is a crowd pleaser, and it has a special way of bringing people together. You probably don't need me to tell you to try it, as it seems like the whole of Nashville gets in line every time I'm there :) Baja is a staple of the college diet, and to Ellie it's even more, it's a comfort food. read more

Baja Burrito - friends - Mexican Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

A classic build your own burrito experience. The salsas are great and meats are seasoned beautifully. I love this WAY more than Chipotle!

This place constantly has a line for a very good reason! Don't worry though the line moves quick and the employees are super efficient. The vibe is a casual beachy taco joint so if you are wanting fancy it wont be here. The food is so good for the price you are paying. You can get three of the best fish tacos I've had in recent memory for $8.... Some nicer restaurants nearly sell you one taco for that! The chips and queso were also pretty good, not mind blowing but not bad either. They pretty much just sell burritos and tacos so you cant really go wrong. Parking can be a bit tight if you go at a busy time but people are always coming and going so it's manageable. So glad we have a delicious casual taco joint to frequent. Give them a try! read more

Baja Burrito - Tacos and chips + queso - Mexican Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

My friends always mention that this was a good burrito place, but I never had seen it until last week when I was just driving by! Parking is a little wonky there's some (not much) in front and around the side but then you have to walk around back but no biggie. Overall though this is a quick, no-frills burrito place for a good price. The guacamole was the only thing that was underwhelming, but the queso was a hit, and my steak burrito was awesome. You get to pick your toppings as you go. The line can get long but service is quick and easy. read more

I had a massive craving for a burrito and Baja Burrito was the only place that could fulfill it! The start the parking is always tricky. If you don't get the prime paring of right in the front off of Thompson lane you can find the additional parking near the back off of Columbine Place - a 2 min walk! If you come during a "slow" hour you will just walk in and order. Sometimes there is a *line so beware of time of day/day of week.* But trust that the line will go fast when you go with friends. I go for burritos but they also have tacos, taco salad and a taco plate! It is customizable so you pick your base, meat, toppings then sides (here is my order) : flour tortilla, Mexican rice, black beans, steak, pico de gallo, lettuce, jalapeños, corn salad, onions, cilantro, mild salsa, and sour cream, side of chips and queso. Then you go to the self serve salsa bar and get the mild pineapple salsa for your chips. There is plenty of seating inside but during the warmer weather sitting outside is just way better. I will say be prepared to wipe off some tables/chairs, it gets messy eating a packed burrito and there is not enough staff to keep up with the flow of people to keep the tables as clean - especially outside. read more

Excellent! Try the Brisket & the Barbacoa! The food was great & the staff was amazing. The atmosphere is crowded & on the noisy side, just like you'd expect at a popular hole-in-the-wall. read more

Tried this place later at night, very good food. The restaurant was a little cramped and very busy which could have been dependent on when we went but the staff was friendly. The food was good, the homemade salsas were a great touch and would definitely go again. read more

Line forms outside the door. Very family friendly. Priced fairly and very tasty. Great queso!

Solid yummy burritos. Stand in line and get the one of the best burritos East of the Mississippi.

Yes...(or mejor dicho, "Sí")...this place is about as good as it gets for baja-style "good eats." Ademas: (este lugar es tan bueno como para "comer bien" al estilo baja.) Flavor-filled with just the right spices and seasonings, wide range of options, fair prices. and "order-customize-fillings as you go, watching as they prepare your order right in front of you. Starter: The warm, crispy tortilla chips reminded me of my favorite Southern California taqueria. The brisket burrito was 5 stars delightful (over stuffed with "sabroso" meat, beans, rice, cheese, and more; served warm, with steamed tortilla that melted in your mouth! Salsas are nice, queso dip is excellent. And so much more to choose from...you're gonna have to get a bigger boat ...(oh, wait! that was Jaws.) You and I are gonna have to come back several times to check it all out. read more

I went to Baja Burrito in the Berry Hill/100 Oak area today. Upon looking into it seems like it's been around for years and somehow I just passed it without noticing. I was craving an oversize Chipotle style burrito but didn't want Chipotle pricing/quality/skimpiness so I went more local. There is a lot of parking for this spot including next to the building, behind the building and across the street, as well as some street parking. Free parking will win me over everytime, and overflow free parking is almost unheard of! I arrived around noon and it was pretty busy but I was able to order right away and it moves fast! I did a small (10 inch) steak burrito, with beans, green salsa, pico, sour cream, corn, cheese, and guacamole. The rice looked great, but I'm allergic to white rice so I couldn't try it but it's Mexican restaurant/Spanish style/ red rice. The burrito was only $7 I think, which is great! I added a glass bottled drink so after tax only $11. The burrito was excellent! The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, the beans were seasoned, the meat wasn't chewy or fatty and had good flavor, and a steamed giant tortilla really helped satisfy my craving! If you are on that side of town (or want Chipotle style but not from Chipotle) I highly recommend checking them out! Also, they have a nice patio too for those who love a patio as much as I do! read more

Some of the best burritos Nashville has to offer. The options are endless and everything tastes fresh.

Tried this place for lunch the other day and it was pretty good. They have a lot of variety as far toppings. The service was very quick and it was priced around the same as I would have payed at a chain like chipotle but this spot tastes better. Will be returning soon. read more

An absolute favorite in the area! The La tinga chicken is a go to for my burrito. Service here is quick and friendly always. Such a great lunch or dinner spot. The salsa is fresh and delicious plus you have to try the horchata! read more

I love Mexican food! The place is super busy, during lunch hours, good luck finding a parking spot. You'll have to park at different store and walk here. I was very skeptical on Baja burrito but honestly, it did not disappoint me at all! The food here is soo good! I love that they have a salas bar (unlimited salas....YES)! This is a definite plus for me considering that lots of places do not give or provide enough salsa! The burrito was outstanding! I can't wait to come back and try the other food here. read more

The absolute best, love this place. Parking can be tough, but it's worth it. Best burritos for the price value in the city.

The blackened salmon tacos are amazing and the brisket torta is something you'll come back for again and again

You know, I wasn't as wow'ed by this place as so many others. The corn and flour tortillas here aren't homemade - they're a bunch of floppy store bought shells from the story. And the fish in the fish tacos were just eh, while the brisket taco was the best part. Juicy and bursting with flavor. Wouldn't come back but glad to try it. read more

I cannot stress how good this place is. I work very close to Baja and I can easily have it everyday for lunch! Their prices are great, and their food is even better. The employees are always so kind and helpful. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good meal. read more

Baja is one of the go-to Mexican places for college students in the area. The food is delicious and cheap and the service is fast. It is set up "chipotle style" where you can choose what goes into your burrito/taco/etc. t This time I tried the taco plate which came with two tacos, rice and beans. I chose the guac taco which was amazing and the chicken taco which was a bit dry. The restaurant itself is kinda small and there is limited indoor and outdoor seating so not the best for large groups. read more

Finally made it into Baja burrito after having it on my must try list for way too long. Everything here is no frills with full on flavor. Serving up chipotle style burritos with much more depth of flavor this is an easy better option. The salsa bar is also a beautiful addition that is a must. read more
