Baja fresh for me is like 10x better than Chipotle or del taco for burritos and tacos. Better flavor. And way better steak. The burritos are decently sized and alwayz tasty. And the wahoo tacos are bomb. read more

This location is usually not too busy. The staff is always welcoming and quick to get our order to us. We ordered 2 baja burritos and an order of fish Tacos. Baja Fresh is one of the only places I will eat fish tacos. They are delicious. And the chicken baja burritos are always delicious. The restaurant is clean and plenty of seating. I do miss that they removed the salsa bar after COVID but you can still get cups of salsa from the counter workers. read more

Baja Fresh - Grilled fish Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Modesto, California

I'll be short. Look how cute this "little" burrito is at $15 bucks. I don't know this place makes it. The portions are getting smaller all while the prices get higher. Let's talk about the steak. Tasted old as if the meat was precooked and then reheated. Gross. read more

Baja Fresh - The picture might make the burrito look big but it is not. - Mexican Near Me - Modesto, California

We got delivery from Baja Fresh today and I'm still upset! I'm not a picky eater but the one thing I just can't tolerate is black beans so before I ordered I always look to be sure I can choose pinto beans instead of black beans, which I did and they allowed me to check a box and change my option to pinto beans but still today my taco salad got here FULL of black beans and the carnitas, my favorite, was tender but had very little flavor... when we rated our meal we stated the issue and even though I had no dinner, Uber Eats only refunded us $2 for a $15+ meal because m complaint didn't warrant a refund but DoorDash always refunds anything that major 100% and we've never had an issue with them! So, we are done with both this restaurant and this delivery service too, we'll stick with DoorDash and their very long list of restaurants! I hope this helps someone. read more

Really good food. Love the salsa bar. My favorite is the mango salsa Just real clean fresh food. Always a win read more

Extremely rude employees and the food is not even worth one star. Never ever coming back to this stinky place again.

4/17/25 8 pm...... I came in at 8pm, they close and 9pm the lady behind the counter "with a dirty look on her face scooping ice out of the front counter ice box" looking irritated that I even came in. I asked for corn... no corn, I hear her tell the lady in front of me no nachos when you could see the chips right in front of us. Huge amount.... The lady asked for beyond meat none... I wanted nachos she said no we have to save those for burrito orders, I said I'm going to go somewhere else. Terrible terrible it's sad that this is how places are ran. I will never be back. Just thought maybe management might care?!?!?! read more

I love this Baja Fresh. It's always clean and employees are great. I recommend the Baja Chicken Burrito. It's my go to. Also the salsa bar is amazing. So many choices for the taste buds. read more

Baja Fresh - the inside of a restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Modesto, California

I prefer Baja fresh over chipotle any day of the week, I'm surprised no one talks about them as much as they should. The food is always delicious and I feel like I'm eating healthy every time. read more

Total fail, no chips, what the heck, mexican restaurant with no chips, unacceptable, the place was dirty too, floor was really bad dirty and broken tiles all over the place. Havnt had the burrito yet so dont know but not holding out to much hope for it being good, kinda scared actually. The place was just not a good experience. I DO NOT recommend. Update: as i went to counter to get my burrito to go, I noticed the young Hispanic man that cooked my food with the plastic gloves on was at a counter counting paper money AND the coins YUUUCK the same gloves he was cooking with, uggg. That was a waste of 13.00 for a burrito i didnt eat it, guessing that was why there was no one in there read more

Their food is good but they recently reduced their serving sizes, so I will no longer be eating there because there are too many Mexican food options in Modesto to settle for this bait and switch business model. read more

We love Baja Fresh! The one in Pleasant Hill closed in 2019 or so, but I'm glad this location is still open so we can get our fix when we visit family. The chicken tacos on corn tortillas are a staple for us. The chips are always delicious, and the dark medium salsa is good on everything. I recently tried the shrimp tostada and it might be my new favorite thing on the menu. The fish tacos are also very good, but the shrimp was so perfectly cooked this time, I was impressed. Also, if you're lactose intolerant, you may want to skip the refried beans. Delicious as they are, I have a reaction every time I have them. The black beans seem okay though! read more

The customer service here sucks !!! Everytime I come here they have such sour faces and they look absolutely Miserable. One time I was actually about to ask her if she hates her job because her customer service was that poor. But I left it because everyone has a bad day. However it's consistent. Today my sister ordered nachos with extra guacamole and sour cream. She noticed they didn't put anywhere near extra. So she took it back in and she said they forgot to put extra on my nachos and the girl without even checking says yes they did..... um no! They didn't. Otherwise I wouldn't in here. Then the cook even said he didn't put extra!! Atleast he admitted it. I only come here because it's convenient, otherwise I would go to the Pelandale location. They are SO SWEET there. Get some tips from that location ladies. You could learn a thing or two! read more

Been a customer here many times but this will be my last time Ordered A Chicken Burrito Chicken Baja Taco and Large Chips and Salsa. Chicken Burrito terrible very Small Chicken old tasting crispy like reheated not worth 11.99. Large Chips were burnt at Over 5.69. Threw away Waste Sorry you lost me as a customer I will still go to your other location. Should of took pictures. read more

I haven't been in a while, that's because I'm busy and I moved far away from it because this is my favorite Baja Fresh place to go! But it's soooo good! Like the food is amazing and the service is amazing! They treat you like you're a VIP! The place on the inside is wonderful! Enough seats for 22 kids! Even more! read more

Walked in, front counter was unmanned for too long, staff was flirting in the back room, they said "they don't carry cilantro" when they do, gave me the incorrect salsa, chicken and chips was horrendously burned. Writing my review in hopes that they address these issues. read more

As I took 1 bite, I had to spit out. The smell was awful and tortilla were so dried up. Burrito were watery too. On the add pic, showed avocado but they didn't put in any. Not sure if can go back! read more

Baja Fresh - Taco Chicken - Mexican Near Me - Modesto, California

I was craving some baba fresh, I ordered a steak and shrimp burrito as I usually do however I was unable to receive it due to the facility not accepting Apple Pay which was a bummer read more

Love the Baja bowls. Service is great and they are very careful to wear masks, gloves. Makes me feel safe ordering food from here read more

They left out half the ingredients in my salad last time I was there and this time didn't have any Chile Lime dressing for the Chile Lime salad. The cashier told me I should give her my phone number after ordering my food, and then she rang up my order without asking for my phone number so it didn't count towards my Baja Rewards. She said she couldn't void the transaction and start over. read more

Honestly, it's amazing that this is considered fast food. Yes, it's served fast, but the ingredients are so fresh and taste so healthy it's hard to believe it's in the same category as, let's say, McDonalds. So I ordered a 3 seafood taco combo (with 2 grilled wahoo tacos and 1 shrimp taco) served with pinto beans and rice. I also added a pronto guacamole. Oh man, so good! The portions are huge and they are definitely NOT skimpy. The fish and shrimp actually taste like they're grilled outdoors with a nice smokey flavor and include 2 slices of avocado and a cabbage mix with salsa. And speaking of salsa, the salsa bar is always clean with fresh ingredients and many types of salsa and extras (like cilantro, peppers and lime) to choose from. Prices are so reasonable too. A 3 taco combo with quacamole, chips and salsa was $11 with a $2 off coupon. Skip the burgers, people, and treat yourself to some healthy and fresh Mexican food. read more

Baja Fresh - Two grilled wahoo tacos, 1 shrimp taco, pinto beans & rice with pronto guacamole, chips and salsa. - Mexican Near Me - Modesto, California

Have been here a number of times and though I did a review, but not so. Had the grilled shirmp tacos for lunch and thery were great! Four nice sized shrimp on two corn tortillas (you could get flour tortillas), cabbage, salsa and a slice of avacado. You can doctor these up at their condiment bar to your taste. Very clean place, courteous and accurate order takers and quite a crew grilling and frying in the open to view kitchen. A la carte as well as plates with rice and beans. Good options and a lot of them. Flavors are excellent and your mouth will appreciate the excitement. read more

For the amount you pay... you'd think they'd give you a generous portion of meat, but instead they skimp. Wanna cheat yourself? Order a $4 shrimp taco. 4pc of Shrimp that look like the size 51/60. Do you know what that means? It means 51 to 60 pieces of shrimp add up to a lb. The wholesale rate of that size shrimp is less than $4.00/lb. And what does THAT mean??? That means at the rate you are paying, $4 for a shrimp taco, you are buying 51-60 shrimps but only getting 4. Which also means Baja Fresh is giving you $0.26 cents worth of shrimp for $4 LOL. In other words, that's barely over 1oz of Shrimp. That is pretty much you paying $58/lb for that Shrimp!!! I know it's a business and it's business model is for profit, but after seeing my 9 year old step son get two shrimp tacos with no cilantro and onions... spent $8 on him and seeing that sad little plate..... which he still looked hungry, and after paying 8 bucks on something that costed that company $0.50 to make... Just... wow. Never buying their seafood options there again. The rest could use work too, obviously. read more

So been to this place a few times , do yourself the favor and only order shrimp or fish. I ordered carne asada plates and carne burrito here before, horrible! The shrimp fajitas and fish tacos on the other hand are absolutely delicious . The shrimp Diablo is a burrito is a must. This place is pretty pricey, so this is when I'm on the go and dnt want to eat a burger. Otherwise I would choose to go to a actual restaurant and be waited on. I ate there with two other people and bill came out to over $70 . Not a good deal . read more

I ordered the chicken Baja bowl and there was more beans than anything else in there. Maybe if you ask for no beans then it'll be better or less beans than usual! There was barely any rice and very little amount of chicken in there. The grilled veggies tasted good! I like the salsa bar, so that's unique. The place is clean. I probably will not be back for their bowl, maybe to try something else! Overall it was okay, nothing that makes me think wow I can't wait to come back! read more

Went way downhill. Cheese dip was like water. Corn tortillas were like frisbees, rice tastes like fish, fish was very dry and no flavor.

Always consistent, fast, clean and customer service is friendly . Top favorites - soup, Baja chicken bowl or the chicken flautas (taquitos) my go to place on my lunch break. In and out with my order in about 10min. read more

Tasty fish tacos. I like this place. They are quick and friendly. They offer six different types of salsa. They are all very good quality. I always hit Baja fresh when I'm in the area. read more

Why are you going to offer online order if you're not going to make it until I show up! I made a online order at 11:30 it said it'd be ready at 11:50 I show up at 11:57 it's not ready they haven't made it yet and I also ask for salsa on the order and I did not receive it. Left around 12:10. I was in a hurry but online orders obviously won't help if you're in a hurry! It wasn't even busy when I arrived the cooks where just talking with the workers and didn't even notice there was a online order read more

I would skip it and go to an actual taqueria. Both times I have eaten here it has been blah food and I've gotten sick within an hour of eating. Both times were the nachos, so maybe it's just that dish. The staff are very nice and super fast, which is why I still give two stars. read more

Oooooooh my gosh shrimp quesadilla me love you long time! !! It was sooo good. I had to get another! !! I love the food here. Its not scary. Its hella fresh an the staff here is great VA VA voom! !! read more

This location is our neighborhood Baja. We stop in here often because the food is great, the staff is friendly and it is a fresh convenient alternative when cooking at home is not going to happen. Our toddler loves the kids meal. It's always a nice treat to get Baja Fresh. I also recently shared Baja with my father and his wife who fell in love with the Baja burrito. For the price, you can't go wrong. Quality food! read more

The floors were not clean, the soda fountain looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a very long time, tables were sticky as well. Overall this is just not a very clean one and in the result of it not being very clean, my friend suspects that she got food poisoning from this establishment. read more

Great food. Was exactly what I ordered and was ready when I arrived. Picking up food was simple and hassle free since it was my lunch time. Thanks a bunch. read more

Once a mo stop for us, always fresh and tasty. Salsa bar available with peppers and sauces. I order the shrimp dishes and am always satisfied. Price is comparable. Tables are usually clean and bussed. read more

I hate the customer service here! Many times my younger brother and I went to Baja Fresh. I ordered everything correctly but,somehow they kept messing up the kid's order! I asked for apple juice for the drink and they didn't put it in there even though they paid for the same amount they would have if they gave me the drink. Fortunately I love Baja Fresh's food! It's great! My favorite is pretty basic but,I like the regular bean and cheese burrito. It tastes good and fills me up nicely. Though if I'm feeling lazy I will just get Taco Bell so I won't have to pay as much but,Baja fresh tastes better at least. And I only gave it two stars cause of the food. read more

This place is ok. The food is kinda bland. I would rather have taco bell. I can get more food for the price that taste good.

A perfect meal! For a group of 8 ordered pick up. It was made on time and hot. More than enough food with all the trimmings.

Great food, especially the guacamole & chips. However they keep increasing the prices, kind of ridiculous on how high their food is now, might as well just go to a real Mexican restaurant and get waited on. read more

I ordered the chicken bowl and it was delicious! For the price they sure do fill up the bowl unlike other places where you barely get any food. This location is very clean and they have friendly staff! I will be sure to stop by again for my lunch order! read more
