    Chicken Quesadilla with Large Guacamole ( 6 oz)
    Stacey C.

    Solid, reliable spot in Santa Ana. I've had lunch here five days in a row and it never misses. The chicken taco combo and the quesadillas are my go-tos; always fresh and paired perfectly with their guacamole. The inside can get pretty noisy during the lunch rush, especially on Mondays and Fridays. If it's too crowded, grab a table under the umbrellas outside. Great value for around $20.00 and plenty of free parking.

    PARKING (5/5): It's a BIG parking lot. Shouldn't have any issues. AMBIANCE (4/5): They play music loudly here. It's bigger than it looks! Goes really far back and has a TON of tables! FOOD (4/5): $11 CHIPS & GUACAMOLE: they give you a tray of fresh chips and a little plastic container of guac. It's yummy, but not seasoned much. $8 RIBEYE TACO: this was their special taco! It's definitely on the pricey side for a single taco, but they do put a big piece of ribeye inside and a hefty scoop of guacamole on top. The ribeye was super tender. REALLY GOOD! But again, pricey. $10 ONE ENCHILADA COMBO: I got SHRIMP. The shrimp was overcooked and hard. The flavor of the enchilada with red sauce was really good. Pinto beans and rice were good as well! $17 CARNE ASADA BOWL: their bowls are SO FRESH & NOT GREASY! I really love the bowls here. It's BIG & FILLING and you don't feel gross afterwards. SERVICE (4/5): They are quick to bring the food & also pretty quick to clear your empty plates, but when I asked for to go boxes they sometimes forget and I have to go to the front cashier.

    I always see a line out the door, so I had to try it! Even though there is a line, food comes out fast. They have a variety of options from enchiladas to tacos to burritos. We tried the wet carne asada burrito, which was amazing. Loved the sauce; it went very well with the burrito. The fish tacos also tasted good; I liked the grilled taco very much. The enchilada was a little underwhelming in my opinion; I think the sauce could be much better.

    Foods always fresh and hot every time I order from them and or eat there always have that fresh salsa

    Shrimp ceviche

    Fresh fish tacos or rice bowl is what I get to enjoy here at Baja Fish Tacos. I usually visit this place during lunch where there is usually a line out the door for the staff to take my order. The restaurant is a bit loud especially during lunch. I usually get the blacken fish in taco or in a bowl. The salsa bar has fresh salsa and condiments for the meal. I had tried the shrimp ceviche. It was a bit more sour as I liked it but was definitely freshly made that day.

    Steak quesadilla
    Jessie D.

    There was a long wait and our food took about 30 mins. I got a steak quesadilla and it was like $18, which normally I wouldn't mention, but it was not a great quesadilla. The asada was okay. Everything else was meh. The salsa bar was pretty great. Ambiance wise, it was quite loud, and hard to hear the people at my table. I would like to come back and give it another try, but for now I'm unimpressed.

    People would say that these are the best fish tacos. I say they are very, very good. The lines out the door do speak for the place, although I'm a bit picky when it comes to soft tacos. I would highly recommend their fish, have it in a taco, or in ceviche, it's super fresh. However I am not a fan of their non-fish tacos, or their rice and beans. They do have a great salsa bar though, and lots of good bottled drinks. And every order comes with a side of chips. Now that is muy bueno!

    Incredible food so good for a decent price. My only complaint is how nice they are. I made a mistake with my order and they replaced it free. The place is very clean and the salsa bar is perfect. Seating is plenty and the place is so inviting.

    Beef in the shrimp taco.

    Usually love the tacos here, but someone isn't paying attention in the kitchen. My wife doesn't eat meat due to dietary restrictions, and there was beef in her fish taco. Also, someone didn't wash the rice correctly because there was a small rock in her rice. She could have chipped a tooth. Please see photos below.

    When the line extends out the door, it's a good sign. With steady customers coming & going I couldn't wait to try my blackened fish burrito. Orders: Blackened Fish Burrito-well seasoned fish with shredded lettuce was a light & healthy choice. I only wished there was rice & beans, but still good nonetheless. Enchiladas & 1 soft taco-great enchilada sauce with plenty of carne asada(additional cost). The meat was charred to give it that crispy edge & the seasoning was perfect. Although I initially wanted the soft taco's after seeing it for $5 each I opted for the burrito at $12 & it was another good alternative. This is close to UCI,so it's a great to stop by if you crave good fish burrito's.

    Chips less than half of the bag

    Te portions of the ceviche is so small!! The chips less than half not enough for what I ordered.

    Even though it was really busy, the staff here is efficient and cranking through the customers. The staff up front is taking orders quickly, the kitchen is getting the orders out. As soon as someone stands up to leave, their table is magically cleaned and ready for the next guests. I ordered the Shrimp Burrito ($17.00) add Sour Cream $.76, Pico De Gallo $0.00 and Avocado $2.32. Yes, it was expensive but it was delicious. The shrimp were large, plump and plentiful. The two taco combo was $13.25 and comes with rice and pinto beans. They used to have really good buttery herb rice. Now it's just plain rice with a touch of butter but still ok. Pinto beans were good. You used to be able to choose from a bunch of different kinds of fish but now its just one white fish option. We were here in 2014, 2016 and now 2024. Why only 4 stars, you ask? The prices are a bit high. We got cups for water and there are 3 water symbols on the fountain drink machine. Guess which one is plain water and not seltzer water? We guessed wrong and had to try again. Just a simple label maker would fix that confusion.

    Great go to quick spot for some awesome Mexican cuisine! Chips and salsa with your order and refill salsa bar, the food was tasty and very satisfying I will be back. You order at the front register and food is brought out to you, very convenient and affordable! 5 stars!

    I ordered tacos and chip and salsa to go but no salsa was included. $5 for a small bag of chip only is way too expensive and not worth it.

    What kind of fish do they use for the blacked fish?

    We use wild-caught wahoo for all fish options, including ensenada, charbroiled, blackened and the ceviche.

    Do they have a catering menu?

    Want to pick up food I can assemble at my location

    Is there a taco Tuesday?

    No. But the prices are so good it doesn't matter.

    Does Baja sell guacamole, salsas, &/or pico gallo by the pint or larger? I need some fixings for a Mexican barbecue! Thanks.

    I know they do sell the guacamole...and provide containers for salsa when you purchase a platter .. I'm almost positive they do since I always just buy the guac...

    Are their beans vegetarian?

    The pinto beans are not, they are made with lard. The black beans,on the other hand, are vegetarian!

It's hard to find a good Taco Tuesday but they do a great job helping the community and keeping the prices $1.50 for basic meats like pollo, asada, and al pastor. I personally love my lengua and this truck has some of the best I've tried! It is a bit pricier but definitely worth it given the taste/quality. A couple things about the condiments--green sauce is spicier than you think, red one is more of a salsa and not that hot. Radishes are unfortunately not very crunchy/juicy at this location so I don't get it as often as I would at other taco spots. If you're ever in a rush, they do phone orders AND DoorDash. I've done all the methods and quality stays up there each time! However, if you do wanna enjoy your tacos right after they're prepared, you can always sit at their tables next to the truck. They have quite a bit of dining space and I've never seen it too crowded to the point of having difficulty finding a spot to sit. In terms of finding the truck, you just need to turn into S Hathaway St. Very close to the train tracks. I park in any free space they have there, since the businesses are usually closed after 5pm (which is when the truck opens).
