Carnitas Quesadilla
Angie B.

Located at the Marketplace with ample parking! Attended an event to try out some classic menu items. My husband ordered the carnitas quesadilla (seperate from the event). The cheese and carnitas in the quesadilla were delicious and flavorful! Loved the guacamole and sour scream that accompanied the quesadilla. Next, I tried a trio of classic street tacos: steak, chicken, and carnitas. The carnitas was my favorite as the meat was seasoned perfectly, the steak was my next favorite seasoned well, and the chicken was my least favorite. The chicken needs more seasoning in my opinion. Next item we received was the cheese quesadilla! Quality cheese and perfect cheese pull. The sour cream that accompanies the quesadilla is creamy and delicious. The next items we received were the chicken Taquitos, rice and beans. I love the Taquitos as they were perfectly crispy and flavorful. The rice was flavorful yet the rice was undercooked. The last item we received was the churros. Perfectly doughy, soft, and warm! Highly suggest getting the churro. I can't wait to come back and try out more menu items. One note: the dining room was full this day and perhaps that contributed to the overall temperature yet the space was hot. Would like to have been a bit cooler to enjoy the delicious food. Thank you to the Baja Fresh team for this wonderful event.

Third time coming in the last 3 month and the soda machine still doesn't work. The employees are not welcoming and a little weird. Also it smells like dirty towel or if they aren't cleaning well. Definitely going down hill, would not recommend this location anymore. Always out of something when I come in. Nacho cheese, chicken, asada, molcajete salsa,and the drinking fountain never gets fixed.

They also do catering

Vegan options!!!!! The cashier was very friendly very helpful. She suggested things to order. They have two big screen TVs music as low smells nice and fresh nice and bright. This car was completely clean. They even have the mango salsa. Thank you, Bakersfield Baja for making my experience memorable

This salsa bar is always clean, cold and loaded with a variety of fresh salsa's!!

I order here regularly and the food is fresh, tasty, served hot or cold (if I get a salad) and they always get the order right!! The restaurant is always clean and the service is friendly and fast! Jose helped me this evening. My mom and husband also like this restaurant so it makes grabbing a quick and healthy dinner easy!

The last of what used to be several locations of Baja Fresh locations in the city, this spot was clean and plenty of seats inside. It's been a while since I've had the food but coming here reminded me that Baja's food was fresh and always made-to-order. There are new menu items now like their version of a Texas hot chicken taco and burrito. However, I stuck with an oldie but goodie, the Baja Ensalada. Greens were fresh and plenty of chicken. The salsa bar was clean and well stocked. Overall, a satisfying lunch hour.

This is barely my second time at this Baja Fresh, and I've gotten the same meal both times. I love their quesadillas! And their salsa is so bomb with the guacamole and sour cream! Staff has always been friendly to me...place always seems clean. And it's at The Marketplace, next to Starbucks!!!! What more can you ask for?

Went back and I can say there were more chips and salsa bar was filled. Food is still better than other places around and good price for amount of food.

Chili Lime Salad with shrimp as an added protein option, chicken, steak, carnitas are the other protein options.

Came here for the first time in many years, the customer service was great, my food was delicious and the dining area was super clean.

Kids Meal: Chicken Quesadilla, Beans and Rice
Ella P.

I am the definition of a quesadilla enthusiast, it's what I get everywhere. Baja Fresh, hands down, is the best I have EVER had. If y'all want an amazing combination, get a chicken quesadilla, rice, street corn, and a root beer. I have to admit, the beans and chips are not good, but that's my only complaint. Everything else is INCREDIBLE. I go here almost every Sunday, and everyone there is so nice. The location is nice, I've had no problems with it, and it is always clean. If y'all ever want a meal, especially a cheap one, this is an absolute must.

I've passed by it plenty of times, but have never thought to drop in during lunch. Finally came here to celebrate my boss's birthday. The parking lot was packed & very limited considering the lunch rush, but after waiting around a bit, a space freed up. The line was out the door! It felt like a bit of a wait to get through it, but they were doing their best. Once we finally made it inside, I loved the whole vibe. They had license plates on the ceiling, framed photos on the walls, and signs/paintings with little nods to Bakersfield. When it came to their food, I had no idea what I was in for, but was told by a friend that their salad lites were pretty good. And wow--there was nothing "lite" about this salad. They gave you a huge portion size. I could only eat half of what I was served. Granted the price reflects coming in at a little over $20. But it was still a solid meal. Didn't get the chance to take a photo of it, because I was so hungry after waiting that I stuffed my face. But I think I will return!

You follow your chef and sever down the line, assembling your ideal burrito or bowl. There are lots of spaces to sit, so there's plenty of room to socialize or hide, depending on whether you are an introvert or an extrovert.

It seems like everything costs extra--shrimp, queso, onions, and more. Normally I wouldn't mind paying extra if the portions matched the price, but they don't. I paid for onions and was given a tiny portion. When I politely asked for a little more, I was told I would have to pay again. That felt ridiculous. She actually said "Welcome to the real world nothing is free" after giving me the smaller onion when they had plenty of extra. On top of that, the customer service was disappointing. Instead of feeling appreciated as a paying customer, I felt like I was being treated as an inconvenience. The attitude from staff came across as rude and dismissive, which made the situation even more frustrating. My friend payed for his food with Apple Cash and the system took the money then the employee told me it hadn't gone through. When the money on my friend's end was gone. This being the systems fault we were told they couldn't do anything about it leading to us paying once again for the over priced meal. Prices continue to go up, portions seem to get smaller, and customer service has gone downhill. I don't mind paying for quality food, but I do expect fair portions and respectful treatment. Unfortunately, that's not what I experienced here.

Parking is street only, but trust me... it's 100% worth the hassle. From the moment we walked in, the experience was great. We were warmly greeted and given the option to get recommendations or browse the menu ourselves, which I appreciated. After taking our time, we ordered the chicken quesadilla, nacho fries, and a California burrito, along with salsa verde, chubbie salsa, and chipotle salsa. The food? Incredible. A solid 10/10. Everything was packed with flavor, the meat was juicy (not dry at all), and the salsas absolutely stole the show. On top of that, the staff really made the experience stand out. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and kept checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Great food, great music (nothing but bangers the whole time), and amazing service. I'll definitely be back!
