    I guesses as the last Baja fresh in the area they get to do whatever they want, including refuse to take orders in-person. You are met with a scan code to order. If you decide to stand there a while in case they'll come help anyway, they will come over to double down, and point to the sign and tell you that's the only way they're taking orders. Forget about asking questions or needing any modifications. Also apparently they now make their Pico de Gallo hot instead of mild at this location? See photo.

    Burrito

    Definition of subpar. Chips were slightly stale, salsas lacked flavor, and even the steak was meh. The establishment was clean and the workers were kind, but the food wasn't good. If I was forced to come back, I'd try a bowl instead of a burrito; most likely, I won't ever come back.

    Salsa Bar and Outdoor sitting under redwoods are the two best things here. Service was okay, Chicken tostada was good. Nachos were good too. Veggie quesadilla was a bit oily and extra soggy.

    Baja Fresh location is convenient for Los Gatos as it is close to the 17 and 85 freeways. ------ One star ----- I ordered on a Friday at 1300 so the parking lot was full and I had to circle the whole lot one time to find an open parking spot. The restaurant was clean and the staff member who took my order met the minimum expectations. (It's 2025. There is no customer service expectation anymore - I don't expect to be greeted with friendly salutations, I don't expect polite, professional customer service conduct and I don't expect stellar amicable customer service anymore and I was met with what I expected.) I don't fault the staff member, this is the norm today and in Baja Fresh Los Gatos. Food ordered Chicken nachos - the chips were thin chips - chicken was very sparse, I could count the 1cm X 1 cm pièces of chicken and at best there were 10 of them. The guacamole was there, nothing flavorful, but it was there. The diced tomatoes simply lacked any taste to the dish. Pork carnitas ultimate burrito. I wish I just hadn't ordered this, it was all very below average with regards to taste. Chips with cheese, guacamole and salsa. This was another regret and made me wish I had gone to the Taco Bell drive thru as I originally planned. For me, this is the last time I will choose Baja Fresh for any "Mexican" food craving. If you want Mexican "adjacent" food, Baja Fresh is an option for you.

    The Burger Bots website implies that robots make the burgers. Being a technology junkie, I wanted…read moreto see that! The truth was a little different. Burger Bots is not actually a restaurant. The "bot" is in the back of First Born in Los Gatos, and in fact looks somewhat out of place. First Born is an attractive upscale restaurant, with a fascinating menu, and a great cocktail selection. I plan on returning to try it. But that wasn't the purpose of this trip! I was there for a burger, made by a robot. There was a small menu with a few options - including a chicken burger, a bahn mi burger, and an Impossible burger. I ordered a traditional beef burger, with cheese. All burgers come with fries, and there are no other options. (I did order a cocktail off the First Born menu, which was wonderful!) I was disappointed to learn that the robot does not actually cook the burger. The patty is cooked behind the scenes by a human, who places the cooked patty on the bottom half of a bun, in a Burger Bots carton. The burger then is carried from the kitchen to the robot on a conveyor belt. The robot places the condiments on the burger: fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup and mayo. The completed burger advances to the next station on the conveyor. Another set of robot arms closes the carton, picks up a box of pre-cooked French fries, and adds them to the tray. The conveyor then carries the tray with the burger and fries to the pickup station. The cartons are cute, but kind of superfluous when eating in the restaurant. The burger was very good! Not the best I've had, by far, but certainly well cooked with fresh ingredients and a tasty bun. The fries were also good, but just a tad soggy. They were, after all, pre-cooked and had been sitting in a small container waiting while the burger was prepared. My burger & fries combo was $18 (my cocktail was $17). Very cheap for a nice, sit-down restaurant, but really expensive for what was basically a fast-food burger. I should add that the staff was very friendly and attentive, and they were happy to chat about the restaurant and the burger bot. It was a nice experience and a good burger, but I had hoped to see the "future" of the food industry, and instead saw something that was little more than a gimmick. I'm going to rate this as a burger place - which is what I was there for. The menu was very limited: a few burger choices, and everything came with fries. The fries were good, and the burger was very good, but not worth $18. My friend ordered the bahn mi burger and thought it, too, was very good. The "show" put on by the burger bot was mildly entertaining, in a kind of see-it-once way, but quite disappointing in that it only added condiments and closed the box. So overall, I give Burger Bots a 3. It was fun to try. If I'm in the area, I might stop by for a burger - but probably not.

I'd been to other locations and always liked the pizza, so thought I'd try this one out. Their logo and "Hard Rock Cafe" type branding of having the city below the logo on merch always struck me as kind of cool. So I wanted to grab a t-shirt at some point, and their $8 special for both the t-shirt and a slice of pizza (which runs $6-7 by itself) is such a great deal, I decided to pull the trigger the day I was here (it was also colder, so I wanted an undershirt to wear under my other shirt). The pizza was very good (veggie) like I've had at other locations, and the shirt is pretty thick and all cotton. Service was friendly enough - young workers who are casual and not overly attentive, but responsive enough. :D Happy to have several of these in the area, and this location is convenient and food quality is on point.

    The burger itself was pretty good, but definitely could pass on all of the rest…read more I do appreciate that for the burger instead of going all out on a ton of not great ingredients, they focus on serving a high quality, delicious, simple burger. And it's a reasonable size- I don't feel like I have to expand my jaw to unreasonable sizes to enjoy a bit. I do wish they used yellow or white onions for the grilled onions instead of red onions as I hate red onions, but the burger was still good. I wish as much detail had been put into the fries as the burger. My husband and I shared the garlic cheese fries and they were incredibly disappointing. I expected actual garlic pieces in the fries. I think they just drizzled them in garlic oil. They were incredibly greasy and soggy. And the cheese on them was good, but it did not stick to the cheese and was not melted to them very well. I had a few, but they really weren't worth finishing. My husband rated them as "edible". This feels like the type of place that should be serving specialty type sodas or aguas Frescas. Mt husband was happy with his Arnold Palmer, I just got a regular fountain drink. The seating is very uncomfortable and it's very loud inside. As soon as I was done I hurried out of there as the environment is just overwhelming and seats unbearable. The pickles are good, but I wish they had less spice and were sliced in a way that made them easier to stack on the burgers. I'd definitely order a burger to go in the future. I don't think I'd waste money on fries again and I certainly would not want to eat in again.

The Coke was standard McDonald's Coke ( meaning it was good ), the fríes were warm and were standard McDonald's fríes. The Big Arch itself was pretty interesting... First of all, this burger is BIG and for the price-to-value ratio in today's economy you get what you pay. As for the taste? Look, it's nothing but a variant of a Grand Mac ( if you remember that large version of the Big Mac ). The special sauce is tangier, they use white cheese instead of yellow, and better pickles. It tastes exactly like a Big Mac and it hits it the spot because they pile on the meat, which itself was seasoned well and was quite satisfying. I did enjoy the burger and will order it again in lieu of ordering a Big Mac if it is still on the menú.

Since Main St Burgers is at the end of the street, I guess we've missed it in previous visits. It's located in a cute little corner and can be seen when crossing the streets. Not sure about parking, as parking anywhere in DT can get crazy during busy times. It's self order at the front and then wait to get called. I ended up getting the Cali Burger plus garlic fries. While I'm not a big burger person, I actually really enjoyed my burger. I thought it had the right amount of seasoning unlike some other places that relay on condiments to create the flavor. The mixed greens and avocado also gave it a great balance from the meat. I also enjoyed my garlic fries, but I wish the flavor was cooked more into the fries as opposed to having it just sit on top. My other three friends also enjoyed their burgers/sides, but we did have a little issue with the onion rings. While one friend had nice, crispy rings - the other had really soggy ones. He asked the staff if he could get new ones, and they complied. The new batch was much better. Kudos to the staff for willing to fix the issue. Staff was efficient, but there wasn't much interaction between us other than ordering and the onion ring incident. We couldn't figure out where the trash can was to leave our trash in, so we followed everyone else and left them in a bucket. It should be made clear where dishes/trash are supposed to go.
