Just saw that they are taking out pork to make it "halal" I will stay far away from this location until management is changed back. Bring back carnitas! read more

Just a heads up, this location of Baja fresh has decided that they no longer want to serve pork as one of their proteins for any of their meals. According to the clerk that I talk to, this is the only location that is doing that so far. read more

Definitely not impressed with Baja Fresh. It's been YEARS since I visited BF and it'll years before I return. And I was even thinking about leaving a tip but good thing I didn't. Price: $-$$ Quality: B Service: D read more

I haven't been here for awhile. But I do like this restaurant. Went with the Baja bowl for the first time. The portion size was good and it really filled me up. It always comes with a side of chips and you can pick your salsa. Fresh Mexican food from a chain this is a nice choice. read more

Stop by today to pick up lunch since I had a $10 birthday award. I ordered a Diablo burrito with steak for myself and a bean and cheese burrito for my daughter. I asked for their verde salsa ( so good!!) and their 6 chilies salsa. Didn't have to wait too long for them and the guy taking my order was super friendly!! When I got home I noticed burritos were a good size & perfect temperature. I made a couple stops before going home , target & Best Buy and they were still nice and warm. They had a perfect ratio of ingredients. I loved their verde salsa I made sure my burrito had a good amount. They gave me 2 bags of chips and they tasted fresh and a perfect amount of salt. My daughter loved her bean and cheese. I look forward to coming back and trying other menu items!!! read more

I'll be short. I love Baja Fresh but this place has gone downhill. The steak even though had char marks tasted like it was boiled. Killed the food and the vibe. read more

My favorite go to sport for a refreshing Shrimp Salad. Comes with Romaine Lettuce, Kale (this time I skipped the Kale), Avocado, sliced Bell Peppers & Jicama, Pico de Gallo, grilled shrimp and a delicious salad dressing. I always order an extra. They are open only for take out, they do have a couple of table outside if you choose to eat there. Their fish taco are delicious as well. read more

I usually go to taco tuck when I crave Mexican food, Ive passed this place so many times in the last two months and tried everywhere else , but here. I ONLY REGRET NOT COMING HERE SOONER.. I got the Diablo, quesadilla, chips and variety of salsa to try. Surprisingly, they were all really delicious. The customer service here was over the top especially for a fast food place I was pleasantly surprised. The food here was so fresh, and the place was really clean. No more tacos trucks for me I've been converted to Baja fresh read more

Really great tasting fresh food! I got a Baja bowl with chicken and a side of chips and guacamole it was around $15 including a drink. I came during lunch rush hour and my meal was still brought out and ready for me in under 10 minutes. Everyone was friendly and I had an overall pleasant time enjoying my lunch here. They have a lot of great options such as burritos other types of bowls with various meats such as beef chicken Carnitas and more. They also have vegetarian options too which is great. read more

12/16/21 - In Modesto just riding through town, looking for some bargains on some Christmas gifts. I wanted something to eat, but not drive thru, or too fancy and I thought about this place!!! I haven't been to Baja Fresh in a long time, so I didn't know what was new or improved!! I ordered a Diablo burrito with steak and a can of coke. My order came to $14.00 or 15.00 which was a little pricey for what I got: a steak burrito, chips, soda and salsa and guacamole. The place was clean and had a very few customers trickled in, it was after 8 and only two couples and myself dining-in. I only saw one order going out by a delivery service and one customer picking up food to take home. I was hungry and forgot to take a picture. The food was good, but very plain. I will come back and try something else!!! read more

Seriously awesome food for a chain. Love the staff. Portions are awesome for the price, my meal was under $20 and I came home with leftovers! read more

We've eaten at this Baja Fresh on Pelandale numerous times, the food and welcoming people keep us coming back. Consistently delicious, great portions, nicely presented. Authentic, maybe, maybe not, but delicious non the less. read more

I honesty didn't expect much. The food took a lot longer than I had expected. But, it was so well done. I ordered the Baja ensalada with steak, one with chicken, chicken fajita meal, and the chicken taquitos meal. The steak was delicious. They are generous with their protein. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the fajitas as well. I don't write reviews for chain restaurants often, but I was pretty impressed. I would go back anytime I'm in town! read more

One and done, Paid $23 for delivery, tip, and service fee. Ok, pricey but ok. Received text stating food would arrive shortly. Driver left at door but didn't knock. Ok, not that big a deal but now food is cold. Missing order of guacamole, which I paid $8.00, burrito dry, paid $3.00 for sauce, no sour cream all of which paid extra for. Of course, now there closed so I paid $15 for food I did not receive. Side note, food was ok but very dry without sauce and toppings. read more

Wow oh wow the portion have changed in a matter of months to this. When approached after witnessing the staff cut my steak in half and serve me half of my portion, I asked the manager Norma A. If the portion was right as you can see I the picture to which she replied "yes, that is the correct portion. Sorry I have ate at Baja Fresh for a long time and that is not the correct portion. It doesn't matter what portion you buy you should get what you pay for. To make matters worse a chicken quesadilla was made as a regular quesadilla, this trip was not a good one and we drive to this close restaurant because we like the food sadly that is no longer the case. I will give it another shot and maybe they change their behavior and see what happens. I give them a 1 but should have been a zero. read more

Updating previous review. Been a few years since I came back here and glad I did. Friendly people working here who were polite. Shrimp burrito was the best tasting I've had in a long time. Only real complaint was it's a little dirty but overall a great place read more

Order online if at all next time! Been a baja loyal fan... but have to agree with other egative reviews @ pelandale. There were a nice gal who was just leaving shift but the gal (who was bigger at the counter) treated me so condescendingly and demanding it were enough to make me review. Really poor service in this particular case = ew, no thanks read more

Service was slow took awhile to wait for my take out order. Ordered baja chicken bowl and chicken quesadilla. Chicken in baja bowl was burnt and you can taste the char in it. Manager seemed irritated that I had to call my wife to find out what kind of beans she wanted in the bowl. Her attitude went down after that! Seemed friendlier to the haole dude and even allowed him to get his own condiments and said have a nice day as he left. When my order came up, she watched me like a hawk while she was asking what kind of condiments I wanted and just handed them to me. Didn't even greet me goodbye like she did the previous customer. I'm pinoy while she was hispanic. We're both brown skin, so don't know what her problem was! Haven't felt this in awhile!!! read more

What the picture showed and what we got was literally say and night difference. I get the print ads and all are props. This didn't even resemble food once the tortilla was opened up. The beef tasted horrible and old. Went their prime lunchtime on a Friday. Never will go back. Yuck! read more

I had to get some quick food before my Amtrak train departure and this place nailed it. I got there, they had all the COVID safety nets in place, friendly service, and my food was ready very quickly. I've always been a fan of Baja Fresh. Can't go wrong with their burritos and baja bowls. Food is consistently good. This was a great choice compared to the hour long wait at in n out and the other nearby fast food chains. read more

I modified my order for a healthy salad and it was really good. They have a fresh salsa bar with several options. The young lady who works at the front is always so professional and detailed. I always forget about this place but I am going to start coming here more regularly. read more

I understand that during Covid food is not going to be like it used to be. But this was unacceptable. And completely avoidable. I got to fish tacos and the corn tortillas that were used were dripping with grease. It's like they dipped them in oil right before building the taco. absolutely disgusting. I was OK that they weren't warm and not as fresh tasting. That's no big deal I understand because restaurants are doing the best they can. But the weird grease on the tortillas was totally disgusting. And tasted awful. read more

Don't do it !! Food gave me and my husband diarrhea after one hour of eating there. After a couple bites of the steak fajitas we knew something was wrong and told the staff that our food taste bad and they were happy to exchange our meal for chicken tacos. However it is too late. We should have know because the place is not the same. It's dirty , the tables are sticky. Another clue .... very few people there on a Saturday afternoon at noon . Forgot to mention the tortillas were dried out and stale tasting. For the price we paid we could have went to a real restaurant and gotten way better food and been served . Instead of getting food poison. So sad I used to love that place. Calling the department of health .... this is not right. I have read several reviews and people saying the same thing . read more

Perfect place to stop by. GET THE NACHOS!!!! Good quality food. Never gonna forget the taste in those nachos. Yuummmm!

Fresh, warm, hearty, wonderful food. Orders can take a fair bit of time to be prepared, even when there aren't many customers, but food is prepared when ordered, so it is understandable. Clean interior. read more

Fast food??? Nope this is fresh food. A great salsa bar is offered with tons of different items and fresh limes. I watch my weight and they actually clearly display calories count. The BBQ Chicken Salad is amazing with fresh fresh items avocados, tomatoes, kale, jicama etc. a delicate dressing drizzled over it. So yummy. My husband loves their steak burrito and it's made just like he wants no extra charge. I love this place for yummy fast food The staff is always helpful too, a bonus. read more

My first time being here and it was amazing!! The cashier who was new had great customer service and was able to answer my questions because I couldn't decide what to order! I got a chicken bowl and a small order of chips and guacamole and it wasn't even $11!!! I went back to go order another small guacamole and they gave it to me for free!!! salsa bar was clean and full and has a great variety! Definitely coming back!! Thank you for a wonder experience and great food! read more

Thursday morning about 1135 am stopped here to take a salad home. The cook was gloved up(yeah) as he wiped the counters with his hands and that dirty rag, he went back to preparing the food without washing his hands or changing his gloves. Isn't there a California code if you change task you should wash your hands? So never mind, I don't want a salad!!! read more

Baja Fresh - Mexican Near Me - Modesto, California

Baja Fresh is American-Mexican food at it's best. Ideal for those who value freshness and quality ingredients over...well, what you find at most Mexican restaurants or taco trucks. The advertise that they don't use freezers, lard, msg, etc in their cooking, and I think it comes through in the food. Those who adore authentic Mexican dining will probably be disappointed in the lack of seasoning, etc. The Burrito Dos Manos is HUMUNGOUS. It comes divided in two and will feed 2 violently hungry people, or three normal people. Trust me, I have a large appetite, and one half of this thing nearly killed me. The Baja Taco (fish taco) was excellent. They use fresh Mahi-Mahi fillets for which I was grateful; I didn't miss that freezer burn taste I get from most fish tacos at all. My family prefers the Fajita Burrito which was recently taken off the menu -- but they'll still make it for you. Bonus star for good service! I love the salsa bar. You can take as many plastic containers as you like. The pico is fresh, the green sauce has a nice little kick, and they even provide cilantro! I highly recommend the take out trays for large groups of people/parties. I first had Baja Fresh at a function where it fed about 60 hungry dancers. The best thing about the fresh ingredients is that you can fill up without feeling like there's a brick in your stomach afterwards (like many Mexican restaurants make me feel). This place is very clean - I love how you can see them preparing food, just behind the counter. It always makes me feel a little more secure when a restaurant has nothing to hide. ;) Again - this is Mexican food for white people - not in the taco bell kind of way, it's excellent food, just don't go expecting what you've had at Chevy's, Acapulco, El Rosal or La Morenita, etc. You'll taste the difference in quality and freshness. American Express is good here. Another reason to like Baja Fresh. ;) read more

I'm so sad to have to do this, but after a recent experience with a to-go order of burritos. I've become much less of a fan. Hubby went to pick up a couple of burritos here because we had a buy one get one free coupon. The drive is a good 10 to 15 minutes from home, so when he got back and realized what was wrong with our burrito's, driving back wasn't really an option. Hubby said it wouldn't be worth it to call and complain and go all the way back, so we just decided to eat them. I don't remember what his issue was with his exactly, I just remember it being nearly inedible. I had ordered a nacho cheese chicken burrito, and not only was there NO nacho cheese whatsoever, but there was no CHEESE of any kind on it! It was so dry, and I was so disappointed, I wanted to cry. You just don't screw with a pregnant woman's burrito. I tried adding my own cheese and melting it, but it still sucked. Very disappointing experience :( read more

I like places which focus on fresh ingredients; especially when it's quick, cheap, tasty, and healthy all at the same time! This spot is great for a quick stop on the way home from work. It's right near the freeway entrance and parking is pretty open. the staff are friendly, the restaurant is clean, and it's worth the visit. read more

I had the grilled chicken burrito? I believe that's what it is called, anyways it was a good burrito but the only thing that was really disappointing was the chicken was really really dry - I needed to add some good amount of ranch for so they burrito wasn't that dry, very disappointing. read more

Food quality and service in the last 3-6 months has been extremely inconsistent. I used to eat here weekly and know what good quality used to look like. Can never seem to get my order right. I always get no meat in a burrito, today they decide to skip the cilantro and onion too. I never said I don't want cilantro or onion. My Diablo burrito was cold and barley had Diablo sauce. Employees always come across unprofessional when taking phone orders and running the register. The credit card reader wouldn't read my card, I was forced to do cash. Tonight isn't the first time I've encountered a poor experience. Been noticing little things each time I go in recently. read more
