Pretty sure I've tried Baja elsewhere before, but this was my first time visiting this location. For a Monday afternoon, there was a decent crowd and it seemed like at least half the customers were stopping by for lunch from nearby businesses. This is more of a fast-casual setup where you order at the counter, receive a number, and your food is brought out. I opted for the two taco combo ($14.75) with one chicken taco and one blackened fish taco. The portions were a good size for the combo and left me feeling satisfied without being overly heavy. There's also a self-serve salsa bar with red and green salsa, onions, limes, and cilantro so you can customize your tacos. Overall, Baja is a nice spot for a casual lunch when you're looking for something flavorful but not too greasy or oily. Located in the same plaza as Trader Joe's and Coffee Bean. read more

Baja Fish Tacos - Blackened Fish Burrito (wet) & Two Tacos Combo - Tacos Near Me - Brea, California

Grabbed lunch at Baja Fish Tacos in Brea and was really impressed. The place has a casual, laid back vibe with a clean and inviting setup, exactly what you want from a spot like this. Service was quick and friendly from the moment we walked in, and the staff made sure our order came out fast without any mix ups. I got the Grilled Chicken Platter and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was juicy and well seasoned, and everything on the plate came together perfectly, you could tell it was made fresh and with care rather than sitting around under a heat lamp. Portions were generous for the price, so it felt like a great value overall. Great spot if you're in the Brea area and want something tasty without breaking the bank. I'll definitely be back to try more off the menu and recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a solid, no frills meal. read more

I stopped by Baja Fish Tacos for lunch. The indoor dining room was very busy and loud, so I ate at a table outside in front, which was enjoyable on such a nice day. They also have a large covered outdoor patio with ceiling fans. I had the taco and enchilada combo ($14), with a carne asada taco (+$1) and a shrimp enchilada (+$3.50) with green sauce. The plate also comes with rice and pinto or black beans. You order at the register, and your food is delivered to your table. The enchilada was great, filled with perfectly grilled shrimp, and a nice layer of gooey cheese on top. There was extra cheese on the plate above and below the enchilada which made it even better. The green sauce was great and had a very mild heat. They don't skimp on the tacos here. Two flour tortillas hold a ton of flavorful carne asada and it is topped with lettuce and pico de gallo. They have a great salsa bar, and I always enjoy the salsa verde and some lime wedges with my tacos. The rice is light and fluffy, and I drench it with salsa verde. I usually don't care much for beans. The last time I had lunch here, the pinto beans were very watery and bland. This time, they were much better and I ate almost all of them. There was a lot of extra green sauce from the enchilada on the plate which helped. The woman at the ordering register was very friendly and wished me a great day. The gentleman who delivered my food and cleared my table was also very pleasant. This plate is a little on the expensive side with the premium upgrades ($23.50 after tax and tip), but it was delicious and very filling. read more

As usual-consistent and fresh every time I come here. Service is fast and friendly. I get the shrimp soft taco..this time with a salad instead of rice (be sure to get the champagne dressing). The shrimp are big, perfectly cooked, and packed full. Their fresh salsa bar has a great variety from pico de gallo, green, and a spicy red. Ambience isn't anything exciting...you order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. The fresh guacamole and chips are always a must! read more

I recently had a team lunch at Baja Fish Taco, and I can't recommend this place enough! The restaurant itself is beautifully designed with vibrant Mexican aesthetics, creating a welcoming atmosphere. It's also impeccably clean, which is always a plus. The highlight for me was the fresh salsa bar, so many delicious options to choose from! The food is fantastic; you can really tell they use the highest quality ingredients. Each dish was bursting with flavor, making it hard to pick a favorite. What truly sets Baja Fish Taco apart is their exceptional service. The team is consistently professional, helpful, and accommodating. They go above and beyond to ensure your order is correct and delivered quickly, making the dining experience seamless. If you're looking for a great spot for lunch or dinner, definitely check out Baja Fish Taco. You won't be disappointed! If I could give it 10 stars I would. Every location I go to is just as wonderful as this locations. my recommendations are anything with the shrimp, the white rice and the pinto beans. Also, their guacamole and chips are fantastic. read more

This was my first time here, but I was hoping for some bomb fish tacos! I used to love the fish tacos from Rubios in the area and haven't found a spot to replace those cravings. I've been to the boba place in that plaza and had seen this place. It smells good but had never tried it. Over a weekend my bf and I weren't sure what to eat and I was craving fish tacos so I just drove him here. They have parking on the front and seating indoors and outdoors. You walk to the front to order, self serve sauces at the sauce bar and food is brought out. This is a family friendly restaurant with a casual feel and alcohol available. We ordered a ceviche to share which came with chips. The ceviche was fresh and really good. It had a little bit of kick but not too much. I ordered the fish tacos and were really good! I will need to go back to try their beer batter fish tacos. My bf had a burrito which was big and good. Overall it was good casual quick lunch. read more

We really enjoyed this location of Baja Fish Tacos. The staff was really friendly and helped us put together a few tables to accommodate a few families with kiddos. The food came out relatively quickly and the fish tacos I got were really good. Generous portions, plenty of seating inside and a nice covered patio outside. Will definitely stop by again when we're nearby for basketball games! read more

Still love Baja Fish Tacos. Food is great, portions are pretty good size and I love their salsa bar. I ordered the carne asada platter with rice and beans, with a scoop of guacamole. You also get a side of tortillas. Staff is very nice and always working hard to clean tables and floors. Only critique is I wish they had trays for salsa especially if you eat there instead of those tiny plastic containers. Can't barely fit one scoop of salsa. As for the onions or jalapeño forget about fitting it in there. read more

What makes a chain restaurant stand out is when the employees are amazing. That is why we will definitely return to this Baja Fish Taco because Angel and Rodrigo (I think that's his name, as his name tag was a bit blocked by his apron) were friendly, helpful and patient. We love the fact that we can get a fresh salad for $6, the kiddos love the nachos and they do nicely accommodate getting the fixings on the side and the hubs gets a two taco plate. We've tried all the proteins and there isn't one we don't like. The black beans and white rice is always cooked perfectly-- so the texture is consistent. The salsa bar is a favorite-- as everyone gets to get their desire of spicy. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious. read more

I was running errands and realized it was 2pm and I haven't eaten all day! Stopped in for a quick bite before I went to Trader Joe's (located in the same plaza!). To my surprise ... it was excellent service and the perfect spot for a quick bite to eat! The girl at the front was so helpful. I opted for the Ensenada fish taco and the crunchy potato taco! Both were packed with flavor! I would come here again for sure to try their other menu items. Ambiance was chill. You can order your food and dine-in or take it to go. read more

I love Baja fish tacos . The shrimp tacos and shrimp burritos are my to go! Ohhhh and the salsa verde bomb ! service is great !

I love coming here. I can always count on the food coming out freshly made and alway tasting delicious! They are very welcoming, the restaurant it self is well maintained and always clean, there's someone always walking around, wiping down the tables or busing the empty plates from the Guest that have just wiped them clean because the food is so great. They have outdoor seating as well on those nice days where you can just enjoy the fresh air. The patio is a good set up and definitely has enough space for a good amount of people. The food is priced decently and you definitely get what you pay for. I definitely recommend this spot! I have yet to come here and be disappointed once read more

Honestly a bit disappointing considering the price. Ordered the 2 Ensenada-style fish tacos and a Ensenada fish burrito. The fish tacos were quite dry and bland, I had to douse it in tapatio but still couldn't finish. The dryness was slightly alleviated in the burrito because they add guacamole inside, but again the flavor was very one note, as if nothing was seasoned. Both were served very plainly, since they were a la carte, but it felt underwhelming considering each taco was over $5 and the burrito was close to $14. Our total bill was about $30 after taxes and tips, which just didn't feel worth the price. Lots of outdoor seating in the covered patio with ceiling fans, which would be nice in the summer. However, I personally wouldn't return. read more

The guru was in the mood for some shrimp tacos and this place popped up. I happened to be in the area so I stopped by. I like the decor and it was clean and well maintained. You ordered and then sat wherever. I liked that they have a salsa bar. A lot of places took theirs out during the pandemic and never put it back. The food was served to me. Tacos were quite nice. Not quite authentic Mexican but not American style either as it didn't have that fish taco sauce they always put on it. This was somewhere in between. I like the small menu as it only has fish tacos and burritos and shrimp and beef and chicken. They also had bowls too. I guess this would fall under fast casual but the food did take a little time to come out. It looks like they're doing everything right. No complaints here. I will be back. read more

Yummy! Came here with the kiddos, our toddler really like the chicken platter. Food is good, portions are great and they have a really good salsa bar! Kid friendly, nice outdoor patio and easy to park. Food itself is really yummy and we always end up taking leftovers home. read more

Baja fish tacos does not disappoint. My usual go to is the asada nachos with pico and salsa from the generous salsa bar, but today I got the baja chicken bowl and was happy with the portion size and the quality of the white meat chicken. I would totally get it again. Restaurant is always packed inside and out. Mike took our order and brought our food to our table. He was extremely nice, great customer service. read more

Workers are all nice. The only thing I would give it minus one star is due to their one line when it gets busy anybody that does pick up has to still stand in that line. Also, I've been to the Santa Ana location and they are very generous with their shrimp ceviche as this location gives a little a smaller portion. Otherwise love the salsa station and food is always delish read more

First time at this location. The restaurant is clean and the ambiance is peaceful. What I mean with this is that if there is music is soft enough to ignore it and have a conversation, and the televisions are muted. The service was quick, friendly and helpful. The food was good. I ordered tow enchilada combination plate and the meats (asada and chicken) were really good. Everyone else said their food was really good too. My daughter ordered a salad and can chose the smaller portion if chicken. They should offer a kid size serving of their food too. They don't have a kid menu and we order side dishes for my grandson and throw away half of his food. read more

The food was very fresh and tasty. I got the shrimp ceviche and my dad got fish tacos. Good portion for the food but it was a bit pricey for individual tacos. They did not skimp out on the shrimp!

Very spacious place. We had a party of 11 and we were able to put the tables together so we can sit together. Food came relatively quick. We ordered fish, chicken and shrimp platter. It came with rice and beans and tortillas. Food was pretty good. Everyone enjoyed it. The best is the shrimp. It was well seasoned. The chicken and the fish was on the dry side but it was good with some lime juice and guacamole. read more

Great place all around! The service is on point. It's not a quiet place but instead bustling with activity. The salsa/lime bar is kept clean and well stocked. They serve Coke products and fresh brewed iced tea. I usually get the carne asada burrito and a charbroiled fish taco on a flour tortilla. Staff goes around and checks on you and picks up plates. Have not been disappointed yet. read more

$9 for 1 shrimp enchilada is insane! It nearly had no sauce super dry. Will not be returning

The food was decent. I was very impressed by all of the cleaning going on. The staff was friendly.

Good food and pretty consistent, I been coming here for 8 years now and never been disappointed. Quick, healthy and rich with flavor. What more can you expect. Yes a bit on the pricey side but most places that are cheaper reflect in the taste. This is solid good food. read more

I decided to order from here for a family get together and the food was delicious!! We ordered the carne asada tacos & breaded fish tacos, also all the fixings! Although it was a bit pricey but still worth it! The manager Mike was very helpful when I went in to order the day before the event. Great service from him! My husband and I eat here so we know it's good, great atmosphere and clean! Will order again! read more

I really like the food here! To be clear, this place is NOT the same as the Baja Tacos franchise which specialize in battered fish tacos Ensenada style. This place is more Americanized, though the food is still really good. I tried their steak nachos, shrimp burrito (with black beans), and blackened chicken. Everything was on point. Love the generous salsa bar which has free pico de gallo. The staff is friendly as well. Prices are on the higher side but could be worse. Would recommend for a solid recommend spot if you're in the area. Maybe not worth a long drive, though. read more

Shrimp Tacos are super fresh and delish!! I love their pico de gallo salsa and that they have a salsa bar available. I think burritos are their weak spot though, such as their Chicken Burrito Combo. While the rice and beans are stellar, the burrito was the opposite; lacked flavor and the chicken seasoning was unappetizing. A very unsatisfying burrito. Skip the burritos and stay for the tacos! read more

Since it is a chain restaurant, I have been to the one in Costa Mesa and recommended my friends to visit the Brea location this past weekend since it is closer for them. Unfortunately, the blackened fish was over seasoned and saltier than what I am usually used to (at the other location). I had to break the fish apart into tiny bits and mix it with the rice and beans to compensate for it's saltiness. The flavors are delicious tho and other than that, this restaurant is just as delicious as its counterparts. I always recommend their chips and salsa with the Baja Bowl so it adds a texture of crunch to the meal. The restaurant isn't as busy as the one in Costa Mesa, which is nice as well because seating is plentiful. read more

I'm a big fan of fish tacos, but the ones from here didn't meet my expectations. The fish was dry and the taco overall lacked flavor. I had to use a lot of salsa and sauces to add some taste. Aside from the food, the store is spacious and cashier and workers were attentive and helpful. I did also try the potato tacos, which were decent because I liked the texture but overall, I wasn't very impressed with the fish tacos from here. read more
