Baja is honestly one of the best brunch spots I've ever had in Tucson. The waiters are very nice and I don't know what the 1 star comments are talking about!! read more

Stopped in on a busy morning for a late breakfast. Had the build-your-own-burrito, and it was fantastic. The tortilla was so good! One of the best I've tried in Tucson. Finished up sharing a cinnamon roll pancake, and that was amazing. Despite how busy they are, staff are always attentive and amicable. read more

There is often a wait for a table but they turnover pretty quickly. Tables are fairly close together but works ok. Service was excellent through our meal. Portions are enormous on many dishes. Wish they offered half sizes as hate to see food waster. While many do takeout , it doesn't work great with pancakes with sauce on them I had the lemon blueberry pancakes that has a blueberry sauce that was cooked and topped with lemon curd. It was delicious but could only eat half. Nevertheless, great taste and service so very enjoyable. read more

10/10 must return spot!! Immediately were greeted by great staff, they took our orders immediately and our server Connor was great! The location is pretty centrally located and plenty of space to bring family or go on your own. My boyfriend and we ordered the buttermilk pancake, eggs benedict special of the day and King Kong. He said this is one of the best breakfast diners he's ever had and he's an honest reviewer! The pancake was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. He already wants to come back to Tucson just for this special so, safe to say we'll be driving back here and making sure to make a pit stop at this diner! read more

I arrived with 14 other people and they seated us at one table within 20 minutes. There is parking available but this is a busy restaurant. Evidently it is a local favorite. They have some outdoor seating. The staff was friendly and engaging. Our server, Connor, was very good. Prices are reasonable and fair. The food was super good. I had eggs Benedict and a pancake. Overall it was a fantastic breakfast experience. read more

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would without hesitation. Baja Cafe has been one of my go to breakfast/ brunch spots for a while now, and it never disappoints. The food is incredible, and the service is always friendly, fast, and welcoming. I've tried a bunch of different things on the menu, and honestly you can't really go wrong with anything, but my personal favorite is the King Kong. Fair warning, this place gets BUSY, especially on weekends or when snowbirds are in town. Even if you get there early you're going to probably have to wait a bit for a table but it's 100% worth it! Easily one of my favorite breakfast spots ever. When the weather is nice I prefer to sit on the patio outside because the inside has that hectic diner feel to it but if they are busy I'll take a table wherever I can get one! Phone never eats first when I'm coming here. read more

I'm surprised the wait time wasn't longer after trying the food. I get why it made the Top 100 list! They have a great balcony area where pets are allowed and staff was very nice. Sadly, they were out of Prickly Pear mimosas, so I got a Wild Berry Mimosa without OJ and my guy got the same with OJ. We both agreed it was way better without the OJ. The wild berry mix they use was tasty and not overly sweet. Foodwise, we got the Berry Danish French Toast and the Southwest Smoked Brisket Tots (cheese sauce on side, no chipotle aioli). They brought the tots wrong the first time, but quickly brought us a correct version. It was really good! We actually preferred it without the cheese sauce since it made it feel much heavier. The brisket was cooked wonderfully and had great texture and the bacon was nice and crispy. The tots themselves were a bit disappointing and needed to be crispier. The french toast was soo good! It was honestly unbelievable how amazing this dish was. The french toast itself was perfect texture and delicious on it's own. The creme an-glaise was soo tasty and really elevated the dish. They gave a good amount of a variety of berries and didn't overuse the agave syrup. The whipped cream arrived already partially melted, but it's made in-house so we weren't upset. That's the only acceptable form of whipped cream in my opinion. 4.5 rounded to 5 read more

Crazy loud and very busy. If quantity is what you want then this is the place for you. Piles of food all in a big huge heap. Yes you can take it with you if that is your thing. Caution-Bloody Mary too hot even for my husband's cast iron mouth and tummy. read more

Got there with my dog along with my friend and her dog just after 8 am. Only had to sit in outside waiting area for maybe ten minutes for patio seating. Weather pleasant with light breeze making that fine. Service great from get go- the gentleman also owns a husky named Bobbi and was one of the wonderful and best servers there . Just outgoing, friendly, super kind to the pups, and efficient. When my friend realized she got coffee instead of soda ordered and finally got up nerve to let him know in her kind way(she is shy) , he was apologetic and kind back and brought it quickly. The food we both ordered was the Shaggy Snack. Love the English muffin with egg, green chile, herb cream cheese and bacon! Perfect start to my day , along with the delicious black coffee. The patio is adjacent to parking and a bit noisy but still able to hold conversations easily . The friendly server, welcoming of dogs, excellent food will all bring me back again and again! Highly recommend!! read more

I went here for breakfast on a Sunday morning and although there was a wait it went by pretty quickly. We sat outside, but inside options were available. The menu was mostly egg Benedict pancakes and waffles. The food was plenty full and I did enjoy the flavor. The price was very decent as well for the food and value that you get. Overall, I would return here to try other items. The service was great. The ambience was chill and casual. read more

Sunday morning 9/6/26 i went with a friend for breakfast it was recommended by her as the place to eat. I have order Eggs Benedict , and I was very disappointed it was not what I expected ham was not right regular Benedict had Canadian bacon and it is grilled not fried plus the sauce was not right . I was very disappointed it cost me 31 dollars and it was bad. The server was polite and helpful but I will never be coming back and will not recommend it. It was very disappointing that for that price you expect better quality. read more

If you can get past the long wait times then Baja is going to be your favorite brunch place in Tucson. I love Baja so much and recommend it to everyone I can. The food is amazing and the servers are all so nice. It can get a little crowded but that's only because everybody loves it! I recommend getting the Alcatraz, its insanely good. read more

Wow! Popular diner with quality food and big portions Went here last weekend and was very impressed. It was pretty crowded and we were quoted about a 30 min wait time but luckily were seated in about 15 minutes. It's a large location but definitely recommend coming early if you have a large group. Food was delicious. Prices are high for a diner but cheaper than other brunch spots and are justified through the large portions. My favorite was the hash browns. The shredded potatoes were cooked perfectly with a crispy exterior and smooth creamy interior. The cinnamon roll pancake was also a huge standout. The portions are so large so they're great for sharing. The service was attentive and friendly. We got constant refills of coffee and were offered a free coffee to go. Sometimes they offer some extra food too but didn't this time. Definitely a spot worth the hype. read more

While the food was decent. The pancake was overly sweet and the combo was bland. When we first got there to celebrate my friend birthday, the waitress spilled a whole pitcher of water all over the birthday girl! Throughout the whole time we were there, several workers kept approaching her to make jokes which made her more uncomfortable. When we asked if the restaurant was going to give her any type of discount for her meal, the waitress Chelsea, just stated "it's just on me but no discount would be offered". The birthday girl was still charged full price for everything. Overall, disappointing service and experience. read more

10:30 Thursday. 3 big parties waiting. Staff scrambling, sweating and serving sweetly. Energetic breakfast crowd, upbeat, sunny dining room. Food was piping hot, savory and succulent. Corned beef was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Finally, the pecan roll pancake was heaped with cinnamon roll goodness and a pecan in every bite! read more

This spice is really busy, and we had to wait for our table, but it was worth it. He sat at the bar overlooking the kitchen, so we got to see all the delicious food, but the kitchen was cranking out. Anthony is a perfect server. He is so friendly and helpful. I wish all servers had his personality. I started with a fantastic Bloody Mary and ice water with lemon. We decided to build our omelette with crispy bacon, American cheese, mushrooms, and peppers for food. The portions are large, and we could have just eaten all of it, but we were hungry, so we also got the avocado toast. We devoured both meals. If we revisited the area, we would be tempted to return because the food was delectable and the staff was friendly. read more

Baja Cafe is one of my favorite breakfast spots in Tucson. It's a great place if you're looking for a solid breakfast with a mix of traditional dishes and Southwestern flavors. The service is great too. On my last visit, my girlfriend and I saw how busy it was and decided to leave because we didn't feel like waiting. As we were walking out, an employee actually ran after us to let us know they could seat us at the bar. That small gesture really stood out. It showed they genuinely care about their customers, instead of just letting us go. The vibe of the restaurant feels very Tucson, with lots of U of A decor on the walls. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros, which were tasty but honestly you can't go wrong with their Snickerdoodle Pancakes or Scooby Snacks. Those always hit the spot. read more

One word- AMAZING! This place is definitely a gem. I had brunch here with colleagues and enjoyed every bit of my first visit to Baja Cafe. Our waiter was friendly and attentive + he took time to explain the menu to us. I ordered the Corned Beef and Eggs. The corned beef was tender and full of flavor. It paired nice with my poached eggs and cheese sauce. All of those ingredients were on top of a hash brown. It was divine! I highly recommend this menu item. I also ordered the S'mores latte. The iced, sweet concoction was delicious. It's a must try for any s'more and/or chocolate lover. This place hit all things for me-great service, flavor, and a great vibe. I'll be sure to stop by the next time I am in Tucson. read more

10 stars. I started going to the Baja on Broadway MANY years ago. Always consistent food and frankly, the staff puts up with me- AND they smile through it. Fast forward to about 2 years ago now?.... I started going to the Baja on Campbell. They are even BETTER at putting up with me. I usually sit at the bar- PRO TIP- far less of a wait time. Even on the weekends! Go alone and sit at the bar. But even if with family or a group, my family and I are always taken care of very well. I'm a local since 1987. Breakfast is my meal :) Is the restaurant a tiny bit loud? Meh, yeah. Sometimes. They are busy and the kitchen is open to the restaurant. I personally like seeing how my food is made. Did I mention they have THE BEST hash browns I've ever had, from anywhere. The kitchen is clean. The people are nice. Accommodating (I have many food allergies and so ...I pick apart their menu and order from what I know the kitchen has available). They usually have an item on the menu that I like and then I ask for many substitutions. They do that for me. Every time. If you are a local and have not tried Baja- I highly recommend. Bring in your visitors or friends who haven't yet been. There is a reason that it's a top, if not THE top breakfast joint in town. One time Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunez were there. Ashton said how great the hash browns were and so I had to agree and say "hi". They said they'd leave a review but that they don't have Yelp lol. So- even the celebrities know what's up with Baja Cafe! - read more

While I was visiting Tucson to see my uncles who were visiting a friend, we stopped by here for a wonderful lunch/brunch time. This was a crowd pleaser at least in my family lol each of us got different items but they were all so wonderful. My avocado toast was oh so good. I love how flavorful it is and but still very refreshing. The service was incredible as well, very attentive and friendly server. We just sat on the patio and it was perfect. There was a long wait but no wonder, since it's so good! read more

Wow--this breakfast truly blew me away! There was a short wait when we arrived, but it moved quickly and was absolutely worth it. Our server was super friendly and gave us great recommendations, which we appreciated since it was our first time dining here. I started with the s'mores latte, which was rich, chocolatey, and the perfect way to ease into the meal. For my entrée, I went with the Brisket Caramelo, and honestly, it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the brisket was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We also tried the Corned Beef & Egg, which was another standout--definitely a must-try! To finish things off, we shared the Cinnamon Roll Pancake. We were torn between that and the French toast, and while we didn't try the latter, the pancake was phenomenal--sweet, soft, and full of that warm cinnamon flavor. All in all, I've officially found my new favorite breakfast spot in Tucson. Can't wait to come back read more

I ordered the corn beef with eggs and my girlfriend ordered the avocado toast. I liked my food but I felt like something was missing but overall I would get it again. My girlfriend said she absolutely loved her toast, she said it was in the top 3 of her life. The ambiance was standardly nice and clean/organized. Service was quick, there was no wait and the staff were nice. Overall will probably come here again if I'm ever in Tucson again. (I accidentally ate everything before I could take a picture, apologies) read more

Amazing Experience! The food here is absolutely incredible -- high-end quality with large, satisfying portions. The ambiance is casual and welcoming, which makes the elevated food stand out even more. I had the Liège Waffle, which is no ordinary waffle -- it's made from dough rather than batter, giving it a rich, chewy texture and amazing flavor. My husband ordered the Benedict special, and while it had a lot of components, everything came together beautifully and tasted delicious. Our server, Tyrell, was outstanding -- very knowledgeable about the menu, personable, and even went above and beyond to recommend a local hiking trail that fit our needs. Overall, an excellent dining experience from start to finish. We'll definitely be back! read more

Jonna is an amazing server and EVERYONE should request her. She was fun and witty. She kept us on our toes in the best way. We were there to celebrate Mother's Day and the entire staff made us feel welcome. There were 8 of us and the food was was just a impressive, I had the Huevo Rancheros, which was fresh and spicy but not too spicy, and just delicious. Others at our table ordered the Cinnamon Roll pancake, which was AMAZING, the Cinnamon Roll french toast, an omlet, a blueberry pancake, the Baja breakfast burrito, and the Coyote Benedict. Anyone who had leftovers took them to go. Oh, and when I say one pancake, I'm sure that is all the average person could possibly eat. It covered the whole plate. The burrito was so big that my mom and dad shared it. This was my first time here and I will be going back, for sure. read more

Baja Cafe is hands down my favorite breakfast spot in Tucson. I love how the atmosphere is always bustling.

Finally headed over to try out Baja Cafe on Campbell and 10/10 glad we did! It was packed - always a good sign - but we were seated right away. Our server was also the "bartender" but he stayed on top of it and we were happy with our service. I ordered a iced caramel latte- the menu did say that it had whipped cream and caramel on top and mine did not come with that. But when I asked for whipped cream as a side to add, they took care of that right away. We ordered the lemon blueberry pancake as well as one of the benedicts (Roadrunner) and breakfast sandwich aka Skooby Snak. The pancake was insane, it was so big an incredibly filling. The blueberries were so fresh and the lemon curd was perfectly tarp, and the crispy edges on the pancake were heavenly. This may be the best pancake I have ever eaten. The breakfast sandwich was small, but mighty, and I slammed that down so fast I probably could have eaten three more of them!! The benedict was massive and also very filling - while it was big and very tasty, the price comparison in relation to the other menu items and their size and taste had me struggling. It would absolutely be perfect to share. And that would justify the cost. Otherwise, I would definitely be back for a pancake and a sandwich any day of the week. It's a hustling and bustling kind of place. They turn over the tables quickly and the vibes are chill. read more

I'm not from Tucson and was looking for breakfast with a local flavor. We lucked out and were quickly seated for Sunday brunch. When we left, the line was super long though. Whatever the wait, it's worth it! Breakfast was great! The Brisket Caramelo Benedict was insanely good! So rich, and so flavorful. I didn't want the experience to end, but my stomach finally tapped out. I'll definitely be back next time I travel to Tucson. read more

I went to this place once when I was still in college with a club I was a part of. This place was amazing and worth the price of what you get. There was such a good selection of breakfast items to choose from. Amazing pancake variety from cinnamon roll pancakes, snickerdoodle pancakes, your usual kinds like blueberry and chocolate chip, and so many others. The food was delicious as I had the snickerdoodle pancakes which were fantastic. They were made fresh, with more than enough snickerdoodle flavoring, and had a great texture as fluffy and flavorful. The service when we went was good too as they brought out everything on time along with making sure everything was accurate. And the ambiance can be very noisy here because this place tends to be packed. Since it is almost always packed and busy, it can lead to long wait times which can be tedious. But that is expected at a place like this when it's small and has become very popular. Worth a shot going for breakfast with friends and family. read more

I just got back from Baja Cafe and even at noon this place is busy inside and outside. I had the "Oops Burnt the Meat" Benedict. Firstly, sodas were by the can (meaning no refills). Our server was great but my Benedict wasn't. The burnt ends in the dish was 90% fat and it didn't taste good. I figured the burnt ends would be trimmed to remove some fat. Boy was I wrong! I've only been to Baja Cafe once. However, if today's meal is representative of the food they serve, then I don't understand the buzz or the lines to eat here. read more

Always a staple when in Tucson, Baja offers SO many yummy breakfast options. Their wait times can speak to that as there is (usually) a wait time to get in here unless you show up early. Showed up around 8am on a Saturday with no wait, yay! My favorite here is their cinnamon roll French toast, although their cinnamon roll pancake is delicious too! And they're well known for their Benedict options also! Fair pricing and delicious always! Good amount of seating options at this location, including outdoor patio seating. read more

I can't believe I've lived in Tucson this long and haven't tried Baja before. Kicking myself for it too! It was so good! I got the Alcatraz Benedict and a "small" Pineapple Express pancake.
