After checking out of hotel in the Excalibur resort, I stopped by for a quick Mexican food lunch to beat some of the exorbitant prices at the airport. I ordered the steak fajita plate and thought for the price (under $20) and for the taste (not to mention it comes with some tortilla chips which you have a selection of over 4 salsas you can pair with at the self-serve counter) this was an excellent meal! Service was fairly quick and has same layout as most burrito/texmex places like Chipotle. The servers and cashiers were cordial and there was plenty of seating around.
Late Saturday Night after an event that took place at the MGM. There weren't many options open or with food. Each place I visited had no food but we're still open! No I don't want to buy just biscuits! Are you serious!? Baja Fresh was open and the crew worked to get food out. Kudos to the team. Appreciate it! I didn't have a problem with my meal. In fact I bought two burritos and a kids meal with drinks. $50 seems like a lot but when nothing else around has food... I had to pick my poison. Sleep hungry or fill up and empty my wallet lol. I had two problems, which is why I docked them two stars... Kids meals were to come with apple slices but they subbed apple sauce and they don't have spoon! Either have my son try with a fork or use a straw so it isn't wasted and he gets some nutrients. Hmmm... The other problem was there were really no clean tables to eat at. I probably wouldn't eat here again.
Food was delicious! Service wasn't great. The restaurant is inside of the Excalibur casino/food court. I personally can't stand the smoke inside, especially eating, so I took it to go. I ordered the tostada with shrimp for meat choice. I was suspicious about it because it was only $13.50. So yummy!!! Everything tasted so fresh, which made me very happy because that's exactly what I wanted. And it's in the name, so it better be! The shrimp had a lot of flavor. The tostada came with choice of meat, choice of beans, romaine, guacamole, cheese, and pico. I got no pico or tomatoes, but they have a salsa bar! I got mango salsa, and a black one that I forgot the name of. It's a medium salsa and I'm pretty sure it's made with black beans. They also had cilantro at the salad bar which added even more depth and flavor. The service wasn't friendly, and there was a particular employee helping me who didn't take one second to acknowledge me. She did not look at me and she was talking to her co-worker the whole time. At least she listened to me when I said no pico or tomatoes tho then I asked her about salsa and she quickly said something I didn't understand. Then I asked the third employee what she said, and she pointed me to the salsa bar! They also didn't even have water cups, but I guess that's not the employees fault... Once I tried the food I completely forgot about the bad service and would go back again.
Worst customer service and very rude. employees chatting and not attentive. Terrible experience overall.
I miss Baja Fresh. The service was good . Family friendly. Great deal for strip. Overall, good and fresh.
A Tuesday evening around 6:30 pm. Not too crowded. Located in a busy Casino. The food tasted fresh. The salsa bar was clean. The burrito was pretty good. I would go back.
My husband absolutely loves Baja Fresh! We used to have some in Salt Lake City but they closed up. So every time we come to Vegas, he has to stop in and get his favorite burrito. This time he said it wasn't as good as usual. But it was still good. Just not amazing. I got chicken quesadillas and wasn't all that impressed. It tasted like a cheese quesadilla with a piece or two of chicken. And it was kind of soggy. I prefer my quesadillas with a little crunch on the outside. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't my favorite. He will be back many times. I'm sure.
Came here for a late lunch on a Monday (labor day). There was no wait, no line, and plenty of seating available. We ordered a steak and shrimp burrito, and a steak and shrimp quesadilla. The way they prepared the quesadilla was kind of strange... they grilled it with just the cheese then put the toppings (steak, shrimp, veggies) inside, which were cooked separately. Plus, it wasn't grilled well, still pretty soft. But I didn't mind cuz it tasted so good. The flavors/ seasoning of the steak and shrimp are so amazing at Baja Fresh. The reason I took off stars was the employee making our food either didn't understand English very well, or was a worker in training and not very bright. She seemed to be very lost when given very simple instructions. Also, they charge extra for every single addition, ie. I wanted veggies in my quesadilla so that was an added cost. Still love Baja Fresh (it really does taste fresh even when it's not), and it's great to have one at Excalibur.
More like Baja Not-So Fresh. Don't waste your time and money here. I was excited to see a Baja Fresh nearby as we used to have an amazing one near us in FL and it closed. So we walked down to the Excaliber to this location. Upon entering the line my fiancé and I both noticed three huge overfilled containers of precooked and uncovered grilled chicken just sitting behind the workers. It was horrifying so of course we decided to get something other than chicken. He ordered the steak burrito and i opted for the wahoo tacos because I knew most likely that required cooking, which it did. The workers were the absolute rudest trio I have ever encountered. The one taking orders would ask my fiancé what he wanted and then turn her head and look off at something else. By the time we were through the line we both had given our orders THREE times each!! When we were checking out I asked the lady if we could have fresh chips because she put all the broken chips in our bag and instead of saying "sure" she said "It's the same thing" and refused. No it is not the same...half the chips were crushed into pieces. The salsa bar was closed. I had to ask her twice for salsa. And of course they had no mango salsa. The food was not great either. It was bland and mostly unedible. My wahoo tacos had 3 small pieces of fish in them each...hence all the cheese to cover it. Overall horrendous experience. Keep walking to better options...too much good food nearby to waste on terrible customer service and mediocre food.
The food was so good the first time we had dinner here the night before, we're back for a late night snack since we haven't eaten since brunch. Last night we had a baja salad with steak, baja salad with carnitas, a americano style taco with carnitas, and grilled shrimp taco on corn tortilla. The steak was a bit dry, the carnitas was juicy and flavorful, and the shrimp was awesome. The pico de gallo on the salad was outstanding. The free chips that came with each taco was flavorless. It should have came with a very small salsa for dipping. The tables are socially distanced but no one has time to clean them. They should at least have a tub of wipes for the patrons to do themselves. I had to ask for napkins then use the hand sanitizer from the stand to clean our table. Tonight we are trying the quesadillas that we didn't see last night. Update to follow...
Maybe it was because I was starving but my Baja steak bowl tasted so good. Steak was tender and well seasoned. It was also a little crispy on the outside. Just like I prefer. Greens were fresh and salsa was flavorful. Food came with chips and salsa. I can't say the chips were great but with enough salsa they were edible. Price was reasonable and there is ample seating spaced out enough to give you separation from other customers despite being an open concept type seating.
If you're looking for quick & cheap (for Las Vegas standards) this is a good choice while staying at Excalibur. For those who haven't had Baja Fresh before it puts you in the mind of Chipotle. We both ordered chicken nachos. Wasn't much to choose from toppings wise, pinto or black beans, cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole. Once your chips or top of the chicken and beans and cheese, they put undef salamander to heat/melt and with both of our the chips that weren't covered in cheese got burnt. Besides the burnt chips, everything tasted pretty good & fresh. Good value for your buck, so would try again if hungry in Excalibur.
A Baja Fresh in a casino? Is this heaven? I was tired from a long day at a trade show and a harrowing shuttle bus ride in very heavy traffic. I had to kill some time at the Excalibur before my next ride to the airport and I was very hungry. I started to wander about. Around a corner there it sat, an oasis truly in a vast desert. Baja Fresh! Like a tractor beam in a Star Trek episode of grabbed me and pulled me in. I was helpless, resistance was futile. Ordered two Baja style tacos and a drink cup, made myself an Arnold Palmer and hit the salsa bar. There is something about people watching in Las Vegas, it's a neverending entertainment stream. Doing it with a tray of tacos and a cool drink takes out to another level. Staff was very friendly and helpful and the dining area was very clean.
Not bad. Was better than I had anticipated. The Wife and I got sausage breakfast burritos. Should have split one. Good size, heavy. Nice salsa bar and salsas. Clean place and that must be hard with creatins that waddle around the Excalibur. Nice staff Expensive for fast food but that's the gig in modern Las Vegas. $35 for two standard breakfast burritos. Go. Eat OK. Have fun!! read more
Not the Baja Fresh you remember. The food was still better than going into a Moe's but it definitely lacked the freshness that it once had back before Wendy's bought them out and dropped the ball. The employees weren't overly friendly, just to the point and on to the next. read more
Update: on my final night in Vegas I decided to get my go to steak nachos, only this time, they forgot to add on everything except beans steak and cheese! I'm already gone. How do you forget everything? This location in the Excalibur was a god send after having way over priced burgers at the resturant by the Royal Tower the night before. Granted it's just a plain old Baja Fresh and was nothing special, but the food is what you expect and at the price that you can't really complain about. The staff was decently friendly, and you get what your order pretty quickly. I ordered the steak nachos with black beans and all the extras. The steak wasn't great, but it did make the whole thing more hearty. The nachos is what you would expect and sour cream and guacamole is included. They have a salsa bar on the side to get all the spices you need to enjoy your meal. I've already visit this location twice in the 4 days I've been in Las Vegas. It's just a convenient, well priced, and open until 2am location in the hotel. Perfect solution after a night of drinking. read more

Came here off a nostalgia memory- having this place in Mall of America. It was exciting to see it within the casino for sure. The staff was alright, the one was a little snippy at me when I was ordering. He spoke really softly and it was hard to hear him I think he was annoyed because of that. Other then that, the food was ok. I ordered a burrito and then enchilada styled it. The sauce was tasty and the chips were alright as well. But, the inside of the burrito was bland- even with the added cheese and such. Nothing special. In short, it was cheap and you get what you pay for. read more

I have not been to a BF in probably ten years. I came to the one located inside Excalibur casino so not sure I tagged the correct address? We wanted something quick and tasty that was not greasy. It is somewhat Chipotle style ordering where you go down the counter to add your ingredients. I ordered the special steak and shrimp burrito while hubs ordered the steak quesadilla. We were so hungry we added the steak nachos to share. Boy that was a LOT of food! Everything was fresh and tasty. I especially liked that they melted real cheese on the nachos and that it wasn't cheese sauce. There is also a salsa bar. The people working here were also very nice and pleasant. Average price will be about $10 pp so not bad for Vegas standards. We enjoyed our meal so much we had to look up the one nearest home. read more

I was looking for something vegan for a late breakfast or early lunch. Not much to choose from at the Excalibur where this Baja is located but thank goodness I found Baja. I had the roasted veggies burritos. The veggies looked kind of limp going in but it was pretty darn good. At just under $9, it's pricey for what you are getting but again I didn't have a lot of options. Had some chips and mango salsa that was pretty good and this place is open 24/7 read more

This is the only remaining Baja Fresh restaurant in Las Vegas, after all the rest of them suddenly shut down, but this was disclosed to me as I was making my purchase through Smiths @ Buffalo/Flamingo; which really ticked me off, because gift cards are not returnable, Smiths policy (WHY do grocery stores still sell gift cards to stores or restaurants when they no longer exist here?) When I told my husband about this, he called this location to see if they take these gift cards, the male voice on the line said that they do not take coupons (**why is the website still sending me coupons that I can't use anyway?!**) but they do accept gift cards (my husband did not get a name). I wanted to use the gift card before this one would be in danger of losing up shop too. We local residents only have one hour for free parking, just scan your ID. The restaurant is located next to Dick's Last Resort restaurant. It is a big location (lots of seating). The menu is on the wall at the ordering side. This one has breakfast items and is open 24 hours/ 7 days a week. Order on the left side. You can see the food being prepared and cooked. Pay at the counter. Get your drinks on the right side, alongside the napkins, forks, etc. and salsa bar- my fave is the mango salsa (my husband said it was wrecked, so this area needs attention). The rest of the restaurant was clean and I did notice the workers cleaning off the tables that were used. We could not use the gift card. The lady at the counter said that it was a difference franchise and they do not accept gift cards. She did give us a 20% discount though (it was nice of her to do that, hence the 4 star rating). My husband did tell her that he'd checked by calling ahead and spoke with a man, but didn't get his name. I got the carnitas fajitas (a good size- choice of beans, choice of corn or flour tortillas, rice, onions & peppers, options were: cheese, sour cream, and guacamole, and came with chips) to share with our son, and hubby got a carnitas burrito. Ours was good, but the meat was cold (it was on top), while hubby's was contained in a burrito, but he did enjoy it. And so did our son (he loves meat, Mexican food, and Asian food). There were 3 or 4 employees working here, I don't quite remember if we got a greeting, but their demeanor seemed to be that they were there, working, but really didn't enjoy dealing with customers one on one- no smiles, no enthusiasm. I would say that this area of the operation needs work. Has a good customer base, there were quite a few other diners in at lunch time yesterday. I wouldn't say it was crowded but there are several other options inside the casino, so there was a good amount of people here. ((Side Note: It's sad that these restaurants didn't seem to last against other Mexican restaurants. Like Chevy's, sad face, another one bites the dust. It was on our regular rotation of Mexican restaurants, but these days my fave is Rubios, and hubby's fave is Chipotle. Rough business, lots of competition in the restaurant world.)) read more

This Baja Fresh is in the Excalibur Hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was fast and competent. The restaurant was clean. There was plenty of seating. There were plenty of menu items to choose from. Food was fresh and delicious. My fave is the shrimp burrito. There's tacos, quesadillas, salads and more. Prices were great. Hotel guests receive a coupon for a percentage off total orders. read more
