I ordered their shrimp plate which was really delicious with large size shrimps. It was a bit on the pricy side but I thought it was worth it because of the food quality. read more

We always have a great experience when we order takeout from here. It's very convenient for us and the quality taste great even when we order out. We are a little sad that they got rid of the blackened chicken bowl. However, the blackened fish bowl is a great replacement. The staff is always so welcoming and helpful when we go there, even if the lines are long they're very apologetic . We will always have this on our go to list! read more

This is always one of my go to spots for consistency in a well prepared dish, and great customer service. It's not quite your high dollar restaurant $$$, nor your typical greasy fast food place. My usual menu choice is chicken nachos, which is more than enough for one person, usually. My food was brought out relatively quickly, and perfectly combined pinto beans, Jack cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and plenty of chicken. The dining room was bustling with crowds coming and going, and the outdoor seating area was well occupied as well. I went around dinner time (6:30/7), and despite how full the restaurant was, there was still enough room to fit our party of four with multiple tables still open. They do serve your usual fountain drinks, sangria, and Jarritos, while also offering a variety of beers both domestic, and imported. They also have a self serve salsa bar which included, green chili peppers, salsa verde, salsa roja, pico de gallo, radish, lime wedges, cilantro, and pickled onions to name a few. read more

Totally stellar upscale Mexican comfort food in a wonderfully casual, relaxing environment! I've been here several times and always forget to do a review, but it is always excellent. Such a treat... From their wonderful large side bowl of refried beans & a Baja shrimp soft taco... along with a trip or two to their amazing salsa bar, you can't beat it! You must try their pickled onions, fresh chopped cilantro and hot green salsa on anything you get there - topped with a few freshly squeezed limes alllllll over everything. and all is re-set and right once again with the world! Top it off with your choice of a great assortment of Mexican beers, and you're in heaven! I totally recommend it. The staff is amazing too! read more

So happy Baja Fish Tacos is in Irvine now! Same great food I've come to love at other locations. I love their pinto beans and rice, and their tacos. Steak is my go-to, but chicken would be a close second. Never had a bad experience here! read more

This restaurant is so clean and organized. It took them a long time to open their Tustin location, and it is so worth the wait. The food is incredible here. The salsas are all homemade and legendary. They have perfected rice and beans. The servers are all very nice and helpful. This place does everything well. read more

Solid spot for Baja-Style Mexican grub! The restaurant itself was very organized and clean as you walk in which is always pleasing and the staff were efficient and friendly. I ordered the 2 taco combo which consisted of an Ensenada style fish taco and shrimp taco. The fish taco had that perfect fish-to-batter ratio where it didn't taste like pure batter and you can actually enjoy the fish which was excellent. It could have used a bit more of that famous white sauce that I enjoy but the salsas they offer at the bar made up for that, so all good. The shrimp taco was the show stealer though; on a flour tortilla, the shrimp was wonderfully seasoned in a blackened sort of way and they were definitely generous with the amount of shrimp and was perfect with the green salsa they provided at the bar. I would go back and just grab 2-3 of those shrimp tacos alone if I was that hungry lol Definitely coming back! read more

Baja Fish Tacos - Ensenada fish taco and Shrimp taco - Seafood Near Me - Tustin, California

Baja Fish Tacos specializes in Mexican and seafood cuisine, particularly fish tacos. They have locations throughout most of Orange County and parts of the Inland Empire. This particular location can be found near the intersection of Jamboree Road and Irvine Blvd. I always order the Taco & Enchilada Combo when I visit any of their locations - cheese enchilada, all rice and no beans, and a fish taco Ensenada style is where it's at! You can't go wrong with a cheese quesadilla for the kiddos. My daughter and I also tried their cheese nachos, but it was disappointing because all the cheese turned into a solid sticky mass. We washed down our meal with a fountain beverage. I found both the cashier and restaurant staff at this location to be super friendly and helpful. Prices have gone up since my last visit as our meal totaled almost $50 with tax and tip, but at least I ordered enough for us to have leftovers! read more

The original Lake Forest location was may favorite lunch spot for the last 10 years. Was excited to learn they were opening one in Tustin Ranch. I finally had the chance to visit and ordered my go to dish, blackened fish burrito with green enchilada sauce on top. The taste was exactly like I remembered. Their salsa bar is consistently being restocked with fresh pico de gallo and is probably my favorite part about this spot. Other notable dishes are their original fish taco and fresh ceviche. Plenty of indoor seating as well as some outdoor tables. Will definitely be a regular here. read more

Already fans of Baja Fish Taco's menu, we've always returned to the same location, knowing that service and quality of food has been consistent. We decided to visit this location and so glad we did; great experience from the start! I like the bright-&-roomy atmosphere, ample and convenient parking, attractive and well-kept salsa bar, and wide-&-open counter at which one places their orders. We were impressed upon receiving our regular menu items we've ordered many times at another location; the Chicken Tortilla Soup was chock full of meat and vegetables; and their Baja Bowl (with Blackened Fish) was generous in size, attractively & appreciatively topped with a nice layer of finely shredded lettuce! The staff was impressively positive, friendly, and helpful, diligently checking on us -- expressing appreciation for our visit. We've found our favorite Baja Fish Tacos location -- and more conveniently located to us, too! read more

Gosh I love this place! Today I ordered the two taco combo plate - carne asada tacos and double rice for my side. Please note this was ordered through DoorDash so prices were a little higher $17.90 for the combo. First off their rice is my favorite rice; it's like a butter rice. The carne asada tacos were FILLED of meat cheese and lettuce; I could barely close it! Absolutely delicious, the carne asada is so tender and flavorful. 10/10 place I always love eating here. read more

Huh, how have I not written a review for this place yet! It finally opened in 2025. I've been here a couple of times now. I love the location since I live near by. The prices are a little high, however, the food is good. I've gotten their taco plates where I sub for salad and it's really good. I believe they even offered taco tuesday price which was nice. I just tried their baja salad with a protein as well and it was good. A little on the smaller side for the price for everything was fresh. They have a salsa bar so help yourself. Plenty of parking as well. read more

Baja Fish Tacos - Baja salad with fish - Seafood Near Me - Tustin, California

I've been to their other location and so I knew this spot was a safe call for lunch. Their fish tacos are pretty good. I enjoy both the blackened and charbroiled. I got the plate and it comes with a good portion of rice and beans. I usually will also order a side of chip and salsa so that you can have a bigger container to put the self-serve pico de gallo in. Service is quick. This place is spacious and open. Overall, it's a nice spot for lunch with easy parking and chill environment. read more

Love this spot for a quick lunch! Everything is fresh and delicious! Easy to find healthy options. Lots of flavor and high quality ingredients. My favorites are any of the tacos and the bean/cheese burrito. The restaurant is always super clean, and the service is very attentive and friendly! At a time when so many of my old favorites have gone down hill, it's nice to find a place that still trying to be good to its customers! What more can you ask for? read more

I had a great experience and really need to come here more often! All I ordered was one street fish taco and it was all I needed! My family told me they load up each taco and they certainly did! Since the tacos come on 2 corn tortillas, I separated the tortillas and basically had 2 full fish tacos. That with the chips and guac we shared was plenty of food for me! I liked the self serve salad bar so we were never short of any salsa or toppings. It was a very hot day when we visited so I was very happy to see plenty of seating inside. For nicer days, there is also plenty of seating outside. It does seem to be a popular lunch spot so it does get crowdesd during peak times so prepare for that! But the food is definitely worth the wait! We will be back here again very soon! read more

Baja Fish Tacos - Ensenada fish tacos - Seafood Near Me - Tustin, California

Muy Excellenté!!! Baja Fresh fish tacos is my favorite place to get the best tasting fish tacos in town today. I have been here many times to get gasoline at shell and just drop by for a quick bite and use the clean restroom inside. They are always busy here because everyone is nice and friendly with beautiful fresh fish cooked perfectly to order. A great place for lunch or dinner inside or on the sidewalk patio space. It's all good with Baja Fish tacos to go for take out too. They have been open to the community since 1996. That's a testament to their vision and mission to provide the best fish tacos from Mexico to enjoy here in Tustin and Irvine. Happy Full Moon eclipse tonight. read more

Definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a fast, casual spot that still has quality food and service, this is it! They have a few locations in OC but they all seem to be consistent with their quality. I came to this location to pick up dinner after work. Everyone else seemed to have the same idea because it was pretty busy but I was so impressed with how quick the service was! And I wish I caught the name of the young man at the register, he had such good manners and was very attentive. You don't see that often anymore! Highly recommend read more

I understand why this place is always packed with a line out the door. My husband and I came for dinner tonight (Friday) around 6:30pm. Of course the line is out the door and the restaurant is packed, but it didn't take too long to order and find a seat. The food came out quickly. I was excited and ready to EAT. Everything was delicious, soooo flavorful, and FRESH. We got the 2 taco combo (shrimp taco, Ensenada style fish taco, black beans), one blackened fish taco, and an order of the tacos de papa. My favorites were the Ensenada style fish taco and the tacos de papa, but everything we ordered was amazing. The salsa bar was fully stocked and everything was fresh. The portions were generous. Flavors were perfect. Service was fast, super friendly, and warm. It was so busy but all the workers were locked in. Parking isn't an issue, but we walked there since it's by our house hehe When asked to describe his experience at Baja Fish Tacos tonight, my husband simply said, "Magnificent." We will be regulars here, for sure. :D read more

Got the two taco plate with rice and beans. Chose the blackened fish for the protein and it was really good. Was afraid the fish might be dry but it was flavorful and well seasoned.

Heard the carne asada plate was also a good choice. Will have to try that next time. read more

Love Baja Fish!! But this location seems to over salt their food unfortunately. I can't even order it from here anymore and I live down the street, bummer. read more

This place always seems to have a line so we decided to try it out I ordered the blackened fish tacos and my friend had the chicken Taco platter along with chips with guacamole. The fish taco was excellent! The fish seemed very fresh and cooked perfectly -- juicy, a little flakey, and very flavorful. The blacken ingredients were strong but also did not totally mask the flavor of the fish. The cabbage was also very fresh and crisp. My friend said the chicken was also very good and well cooked. He also liked the rice as well. It looked like just white rice but he said it had a little butter and was very tasty. Only the chips and guacamole were just ok. read more

The food wasn't good and the place was busy but messy. I was very disappointed. This place has lost its quality and service from the last time I was there. read more

Their tacos are loaded UP! The first time there, I got their fried fish taco, which was nothing to really sing home about. It was crispy and tasty, but not outstanding. However, the butter rice and the well seasoned black beans were absolutely fantastic, and adding some red and green salsa, as well as some pico with their fresh hot chips, it was already well worth coming back to. (ALL their chips tasted fresh!) My friend got the carne asada tacos and I was very envious of that, so this time around, I got the blackened fish taco and the steak tacos. The steak tacos are #1 here. Cheese melted on two tortillas, LOTS OF meat seasoned and charred, some chopped lettuce and their house pico. So simple, done to perfection. I really love their steak, it's really good quality and they give so much of it on your taco (for $17 a plate it better be loaded...) The blackened fish taco was also grilled and seasoned extremely well, underneath a bed of chopped cabbage, everything was fresh. The red salsa was smokier and spicier, while the green salsa was pretty ZESTYYYY, I preferred this one over the red, but both tasted great with the chips. I loved the pico as well, so yummy. Their salsa bar also had whole peppers, limes, onion and cilantro, and they also had Mr. Pibb! Service is always so friendly and efficient, and the shop is so so clean. they always are restocking something or sweeping somewhere and the cleanliness of the place also stands out to me. I really do think that the simplicity of their food really sets them apart since everything tastes like it was just made and the veggies were just harvested LOL read more

So my wife and I visited this location after a few months and it was sort of disappointing. I am hoping this was just a one off moment but the fish taco taste like it was filled with fish sticks, the rice was not completely cooked so it was still hard and crunchy. I am hoping that this was just a bad day but is don't know. Very, very disappointing!!!! read more

My wife ordered a carne asada burrito which is 17 dollars and there was hardly any meat. She had several bites where there was no meat at all. I ordered a blackened fish burrito which and again very little fish. For the price, I would expect a lot more protein. read more

Without question the food is pretty darn good no matter what you order. But what really sucks it's a type of music they play which kills the ambiance of Baja California style food when I go to a place to eat Cuban food I expect to hear Cuban music and when I go to a Mexican restaurant I expect Mexican music to sell the ambiance the atmosphere at Baja Fish Tacos on the corner of Jamboree only sucks music wise read more

Big portions, and even bigger taste!! We came in on a Friday night during the World Series so it was quite lively. The line moved quickly and we were able to find a table in the corner. I got a one taco (chicken) one enchilada (cheese) combo. It came with rice and beans. My partner got a two enchilada (chicken) combo. We split a side of chips. They bring you a large salsa container that you can fill with their house made salsa when you get the chips -- highly recommend the red salsa! I am used to tiny tacos. Not the case here! I had my taco and a few bites of rice and beans and took the rest to go. Delicious fresh and still delicious heated up as leftovers!! Prices are super fair given average prices. I believe my combo was $14-ish and if fed me for two meals! I will definitely be back here to try more menu items! read more

Fast casual Mexican with a clean interior with TVs on sports. What more could you ask for? Staff were friendly and very quick. They worked very hard to keep tables bussed and available.

The food was too salty that it was bitter. I had to throw it away. At this location the chef doesn't know what is the right amount of salt. I liked the santa ana location better. The food tasted right there and is not overly salty. Wasted my money here. If you want to try baja fish tacos don't go to the tustin branch go to the santa ana branch. The chef at santa ana branch is much better and is a true professional cook. I have high blood pressure and too much salt is not good for me. I almost had a heart attack. read more

We have been here several times already since they've opened. Thankful so we don't have to deal with the horrible customer service at the other Mexican food place in The Marketplace by Orangetheory. The place is clean and the workers bus the tables after you finish. The employees are friendly and efficient. Today I tried their enchiladas. The tartness of the green sauce goes well with the shrimp. Their rice is amazingly good. Don't let the plain look fool you. The place always look looks busy because they push the line queue back away from the registers. But it is definitely worth the wait. There is always an available table. read more

Yay for a Baja in Tustin! It's finally open and we decided to come around lunch time and it was pretty packed! The order did take a while, but we usually always get an enchilada, tacos, and the guac! The food is good, but this time it was pretty salty imo, it could've been a bad day! I always enjoy their seafood tacos especially with the Baja sauce! Servers cleaned the tables pretty quick, so you're able to snag a seat fairly quick. The location is also a lot bigger than the lake Forest one! read more

I'm a bit surprised by the high ratings of this new restaurant. I ordered a combo plate consisting of a charbroiled fish taco, ensenada style enchilada, beans and rice. The taco is plain by itself so you have to add lime and salsa for it to have any flavor. $5 for that taco alone is diabolical. In contrast, the plate had somewhat more depth and texture. Overall, the high price of their combo plate did not meet my expectations. I can go to Miguel's or a Mexican fast food chain with a coupon instead for half of the price we paid. On the upside, the restaurant is clean and the staff are very nice and efficient. The line was long, but we waited just a short amount of time (~10 minutes) for our food on a Sunday afternoon. read more
