    2 Combo: Charbroiled Fish Taco and Carne Asada Taco
    Annie Y.

    There are plenty of parking spaces. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the 2 taco combo (Charbroiled Taco and Carne Asada Taco) and it comes with choice of pinto or black beans with side of rice. They also have a mini sauce bar where you can chose your sauces, cilantro, lime, etc. The Charbroiled Taco was a fish taco and was delicious. The Carne Asada Taco was okay compared to the Charbroiled Taco, but still good as well. The rice was lightly salted, but I squeezed lime into it, so it tasted better. The black beans were good too. Recommendation(s): - Charbroiled Taco - Carne Asada Taco Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Order first - Plenty of parking spaces - Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating - Accept Apple Pay - 2 restrooms

    Baja Fish Tacos is one of those dependable spots that always seems busy, and for good reason. Located in a small strip mall within a larger plaza, there's plenty of parking, and the restaurant is clean with ample indoor and outdoor seating. It's an order-at-the-counter concept, but service is fast and the food is brought to your table. The salsa bar is a nice bonus with several fresh options. We ordered the carne asada burrito combo with white rice and black beans, and the burrito was huge, packed with flavorful meat, and easily enough for two meals. We also had the Ensenada-style fish taco and carne asada enchilada combo with white rice and pinto beans. Everything tasted fresh, portions were generous, and the quality was consistent. A solid go-to for fresh, satisfying Mexican food that delivers every time.

    Nachos!

    Baja Fish Tacos never disappoints. I come here often, and every dish I've tried has been consistently delicious. Today I went with the nachos, and they were everything I hoped for -- a generous portion loaded with cheese and perfect for customizing at their excellent salsa bar. The pico de gallo, red salsa, and marinated onions are my must‑haves. The restaurant is clean and welcoming, with plenty of seating inside and out. Even though it was packed when we walked in, the staff kept things moving. Our order was taken promptly, and the food arrived without much of a wait. Great food, great service, and always worth the visit.

    I love their Ensenada Style Tacos here. It's a great place for lunch. The service is always great and they deliver top quality every single time. Inside the restaurant they have television screens, beer, a salsa and condiment bar (so good). Outside is if you want more sun, they do have umbrellas so they make it very convenient for everyone. If I could eat here every day, I would ;)

    I was hungry and saw this restaurant and went inside to check it out. It was similar to a Baja Fresh but better. I ordered a fish burrito with pinto beans, rice, and guacamole and I loved it. The fish was blackened so it gave the burrito a nice savory taste with a little bit of spice. Service was good but the clerk was a little forgetful when we received our order. She had forgotten to give us our sides' sauces we paid for and sour cream. Other than that she did a great job with the order. Nice place with a cool vibe. Easy parking is located in front of the restaurant. Prices were decent and the quality of the food ingredients was excellent. The The bathroom was clean but full of water on the floor which made it dangerous to walk. Other than that, I will dine here again if I am in the area and try more food items.

    Second time here and it did not disappoint! Tacos are made fresh and you can taste it! The ribeye taco was tender, juicy, and so flavorful. The guacamole was fresh and light. Service is quick and super friendly. Inside was clean and there's tables inside and out.

    I stopped by randomly on a Wednesday lunch hour to try this place out. This place was busy but chill inside. The guy taking my order was friendly from the start. The tacos were really good and so was the salsa. I give a B+ grade for overall and I will be back soon for more!

    Saddest $8 taco of all time
    John H.

    This place used to be great. They are starting to cut corners and make everything worse. They discontinued the incredible blackened chicken. The new chicken is dry and unseasoned. I got a special of the day taco for $8 and it was a single piece of unsalted unmarinated steak. Nothing on it no flavor. The worst taco I have ever had in my life. R.I.P. to one of my favorite spots

    TL;DR - best Baja style Mexican food. Forget the other chains, this is the one! I ordered the shrimp tacos with white rice and black beans. It took every ounce of my being not to finish the whole plate. The shrimp are succulent and cooked in butter; the white rice is flavorful; the black beans were saucey with every bite. I'm a big fan of their salsa bar. My favorite is the green salsa and the marinated onions. I put those onions on everything! It's a fast casual place where you order at the counter, get your number, and take a seat. Servers will bring the food to your table. Service is friendly. Tons of parking in the lot. I'd probably eat here once a week if I lived closer.

    Shrimp taco (left) and Ensenada taco (right)
    Michelle ..

    Came on a Tuesday and it was already busy at around 5:30pm, though the space is huge so no issues finding a table. We ordered the shrimp and Ensenada (fried fish) tacos, along with a side of chips & salsa. Chips were served fresh and warm, salsa was self serve at the salsa bar. We took a number to our table and the food was served shortly after. The Ensenada was okay in flavor, most of which came from the 1 sauce drizzled over but the fish was slightly dry. The shrimp taco was better with more sauces, some cheese & flavor to the taco overall, but after getting to the shrimp itself, it started tasted like plain unseasoned shrimp. Shrimp was cooked well and portion was decent but I was hoping for a bit more out of the over $8 single taco.

    Our fish tacos are made with wahoo that is flash frozen on the boats after the catch.

    When I said "Bar" and "Santa Ana" in the Yelp search - of course it said "Club 616" in the first…read morespot - OF COURSE IT SAID 616!!! I was lucky enough to stumble across this gem of the center of OC when they first opened - and I am proud to be a regular here. I don't know how to go somewhere else - because I feel like the staff are giant gems in this jewel of a spot. Winters is a curator of boozy information that has helped me learn about "gin" and "root beer whiskey" so I can sound like an adult-ish purveyor, when really I know close to nothing except being a willing student to his creations. Dan the Man and Jacob always see me raise my hand in the corner of the bar, like the student I am, and have been willing to fill in the blanks for me when I know I am of thirst, but do not have the words for what to order. Every person working in the well has treated me with kindness - they have taken the time to get to know me, and I will be forever appreciative of how they have taken care of me over the years. But the real joy has been the transformation that this spot has for building a community of people in Santa Ana for real recognizing real. I have been bringing my Dad with me to play pool for the past few years. Sometimes people ask me if he plays professionally, I am terrible, and my skill incline is slow, he is patient and plays with the same level craftiness that the staff offer the cocktails. My Dad is always stoked when we have time to go have a few hours of games at 616 - especially now that there are regulars on 4th street that are excited to see that he is there playing - and they rush to write their names on the chalkboard to challenge him - or beat him in a game they really earned the W. On lazy Sundays, I watch couples sit with their drink, listening to Jazz, and watching my Dad whoop my ass while making amazing shots. I am forever grateful to Memo who sometimes takes a break from his shift behind the bar to give my dad an actual challenge - which allows me the chance to watch my Dad enjoy fellowship around the table. Knowing the table was a relic of the bars former self, and knowing the history that this spot has in Santa Ana is a reminder that so much around us can change - but it is those moments of the crack of the rack, the cheer of getting the combo shot, and the shake of hands when it's over that shows that it's not just about the pool table - but about the energy of a place that is welcoming and curated by people who care about what they do - and care about who comes through their doors. Thank you Jason and Mike B to bringing this to 4th St and supporting the community that was already here - and for building a community for the future. Thank you to Christina and Brandon for always having amazing pictures, decor, and fun events at 616 that help introduce new folks into this great spot. Time is short. Learn about Root Beer Whiskey. Write your name on the Chalk Board. No one lives forever.

Reminiscent of the bars /…read moreclubs in Baja California or Mexico in general, it's lively with a back patio area and even like a taquero there, at least on weekends.

After our party of six chatted over cocktails and preyed on pupus, we moved to a "secret" room tucked in the back of Stowaway and walked into a Belly Of The Beast. The founders and co-owners of Stowaway, Leonard Chan and Dominic Iapello, created this extension to the tiki bar with a wildly interesting Pinocchio theme and the famed encounter with Monstro the whale all the while serving the same offerings in Stowaway but with also an exclusive limited menu just for this adventure. With its proximity to Disneyland and its Enchanted Tiki Room, with the very niche underground-like society of tiki culture they found a consistent customer base and the thrill of island escapism through colorful cocktails, pleasurable pupus, tropical trimmings, and nostalgic know-how. How would my belly handle the beastly drinks concocted here!? PURCHASE(S) Gepetto's Last Words ($16.00): Intrigued by the cocktail's name, this elixir was crafted with Fid Street Gin, tangerine, creme de violette, lemon, and cucumber, it was a citrusy refreshing sweet drink that was decorated with bright yellow petals. It was nice, but for whatever reason it just didn't quite hit the spot. [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 4.0 of 5.0 STARS] Onion Rings ($9.00): A decent portion with rings of medium to large sizes, these were hot, dark golden browned, crunchy, and had a slight tendency to crumble when bitten into while the onion ring (sweet Maui!) rarely pulled out at times. They were lightly oily while the catsup wasn't needed but used. SERVICE While in Stowaway, we informed our male server to let us know when we were allowed to enter the belly. Once inside and situated, we had the place and bartender to ourselves. After we all perused the menu, we placed our orders, and everything arrived within ten minutes. The rest of the time was spent chatting, picture taking, and our bartender checked in on us also giving a Dole Whip taster. All was casual, chill, and somewhat on island time - aloha and mahalo! PARKING (FREE): They shared a medium-sized private lot with several other businesses who were closed at this time with plenty of spots - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE "Hidden" inside Stowaway which was located within a strip mall, the entire theme was based on the Pinocchio story, the interlude in time spent inside Monstro, and as we entered it felt like the beginning of the Disneyland "Storybook" ride as you road a canal boat into the mouth and sharp teet of a whale. There were several marionettes (appropriate and non-appropriate) that hung from the ceiling and belly walls, along with other Disneyesque memorabilia, a few sitting booths, and a tiny bar at the end of the roo. No natural lighting whatsoever while an assortment of extremely low-lit electric lights and table candles glowed. There were no TVs while I couldn't recall any background music. ATTIRE Although I was actually dressed appropriately for the occasion in an aloha shirt, linen pants, and flip-flops, this place was totally casual, so a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops would suffice. OVERALL Belly Of The Beast was an adventurous fun evening with friends, it left me feeling childlike with the need to watch "Pinocchio", and I couldn't wait to return to try more of their awesome-soundling elixirs. I generally loved all-things Disneyana, and this new wrinkle, albeit probably not approved by the mouse ears brass, caught my fancy. My one drink was tasty but just didn't hit the right spot, the onion rings were very good, the prices were a tad elevated, the atmosphere was awesome, and the service was friendly and professional. They had an extremely limited menu, and there was some doubt whether or not ordering from the Stowaway menu was an option. Plus, I always preferred to support small local mom & pop businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $27.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS
