The place is clean but the Ensenada style fish taco was not really good with the frozen fish. Felt like frozen fish filets cut up to fit taco. Would rather drive to Fullerton through traffic. read more

Our family loves Baja Fish. We eat at all three locations all the times. We happened to just eat at their LN location the day before with my daughter and eating at their Tustin Ranch location again the next day with my sisters. :) read more

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

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

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

Enjoyed our food. Everything we tried was fresh and not greasy. The chips were crisp and salsas fresh. The pickled onions added some great flavor too. Service was good and staff was helpful. Very clean and the salsa bad was kept orderly. Plenty of seating. 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

Baja Fish Tacos - Blackened Fish Burrito enchilada style - 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

They got rid of Blackened Chicken which was the best thing they had. My whole family ordered it every time. Really confused and dismayed by this decision. read more

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

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

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

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 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

The food is just so good. I eat it all. I'm a picky eater so it's hard to find things that I like, but this is so good Baja fish is very good. Service isn't good but isn't bad so I would rate it 3 1/2 stars read more

DANIELA was amazing! We had a same day cater order and she was so organized, communicative, SO kind and helpful, even though she was really busy. Thank you to her and the rest of the staff for such great customer service! 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

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

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

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

The fish tacos were seasoned well, and the tortillas were fresh and soft. The selection of salsas was nice, the tomatillo one was our favorite. The place is pretty busy, and the price is comparable to other similar restaurants. When you place your order to go, the hostess goes over your order to make sure all the items are accounted for, which is nice.' 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

Wish they had this in FL. 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

We picked up lunch last Tuesday and the food came out quickly. We ordered two 2 plate combos: Ensenada fish taco, carne asada taco, rice and pinto beans; Carne asada taco, cheese enchilada, rice and pinto beans. The food was delicious, the portions of protein were huge! The cheese enchilada had the longest cheese pull I've ever had. They also have a self serve salsa station. The staff was warm, friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was very clean, and great for families and groups. This used to be a Boston Market back in the day. Check out this gem next time you're in the area. read more

I've been going to the Costa Mesa location for 20+ years so I was super excited they opened near me. Food is 10/10. Service and cleanliness is 11/10. A little on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. A real asset to the community. 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

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. Food came out fast and the staff is friendly. It was busy for a Saturday lunch but plenty of seating. Order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Heard the carne asada plate was also a good choice. Will have to try that next time. read more

I have been telling all my friends about this place! Genuinely the best shrimp tacos I've EVER had and the Ensenada style fish tacos are the best I've had outside of Baja, Mexico. Super tasty and generous portions. The rice is incredible, as is the salsa bar. Generally my new go-to favorite The staff is super friendly and helpful and the restaurant has plenty of room for tables which are a reasonable distance away from each other. I have a hard time with noisy places and this place has never been too noisy even with a full house and a line to order. My dad is super picky about Mexican seafood and he is moving back to OC from out of state, and I can't wait to introduce him to this spot. I know he's going to LOVE it read more

We've been here several times now and the food is tasty and fresh. This last time we ordered a platter with fish and a platter with carne asada. The platters came with rice and beans (pinto or black) and a healthy scoop of guacamole. The fish was nice and firm ( one time they told me it was ono), not some cheap tilapia or swai often used by restaurants to sub white-fleshed fish. The pinto beans were nice and creamy, well seasoned, not bland. The carne asada was nicely grilled, tender and flavorful. We also ordered a tacos de papas. Three crunchy tacos came to an order. It was topped with a drizzle of cream, some chopped lettuce and a side of guacamole. Delicious as well! Overall we had a most pleasant experience and left satiated and happy. See you soon! read more

Yum! Huge portions when dining in. It can be a bit loud and chaotic, but the staff has their system down. You can eat inside or outside, and even take your order to go.
