The food is decent, much like any other Baja Fresh location I've been to. The fish of the fish tacos is like a long lightly battered fish stick. It's nothing amazing, but it'll do. The esquites were on the dry and burnt side, which called for much more mayo than was already on there. The service was okay. I didn't know we get chips with our order and had to go back to the counter to request some. The chips are thin, crispy, and warm, which is welcomed. They didn't omit the pico de gallo from my meal, which I'd requested, but it didn't ruin my meal. The restaurant is bright and clean with plenty of seating. For a Mexican food place, it can feel a bit sterile, but that's the least of my concerns when I'm going for fast Baja flavors. read more

Great service. Super hot day, we got a bottle of water and the cashier brought us an extra cup for a fountain drink. It was so considerate.

Ordered the grilled veg bowl. 99% of it was soggy overcooked peppers. The rice tasted stale. Won't go back.

Good experience - clean, fast, fair prices. The nachos were ten-ish dollars and enough for me and my toddler son to share with leftovers. They do have high chairs also, and lots of salsa to choose from. read more

Baja Fresh - Nachos - Mexican Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Baja fresh is usually pretty consistent across the board. Their food ain't top notch but it's alright for around a $10 plate of food. I ended up getting the diablo burrito which was pretty spicy! I got the chicken which was shredded and flavorful! Comes with chips! The front counter people here are super nice though and the food came out in under a couple minutes! read more

First time here and I'm glad to say that the food did indeed taste fresh and delicious. Good variety of food and drink options. Healthy options are a plus. read more

Baja Fresh - Baja Bowl - Mexican Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Horrible food, slow service, and over priced servings. I will never eat at this restaurant again! read more

This spot is now open for in-store, air conditioned dining providing tables that are socially distanced. This restaurant is committed to freshness and safe environmental practices . There are no freezers, microwaves, or lard used as well as other ways to keep the promise of their fresh food. Here's the main reason for having a meal here. The food is delicious and the menu lists the calorie count of the lowest food if you are interested. I had the chicken bowl. My daughter had the shrimp tacos with mango salsa, so I had the same salsa. . . DELISH!!! Oh, BTW, there is a nice assortment of various salsas available and those come free, for as many as you want. Two was perfect for us. All waiters wore masks and were as friendly as could be. Trying Baja Fresh has my highest recommendation for tasty and healthy Hispanic food. read more

Piss poor experience, fyi if you want quesadillas you get three little triangles with cheese for $6. Lastly everything else is over priced. These ladies don't even deserve tips. read more

Good clean food in nice sized portions. Prompt friendly service. We love the burrito mexicano with chicken.

This place has gone down hill. I have ordered the steak burrito in the past and this is what I experienced most of the time : some of the pieces of steak would turn out to be chewy and just not edible by my standards. I would basically not eat the chewy pieces and enjoy the rest of my burrito - which was satisfying. This last time : ALL of the steak was chewy and just not edible. No matter how much I chewed , the steak would not break apart. I ended up spitting out the steak and just ate the beans and rice. So basically I paid for a $10 dollar bean and rice burrito. Thanks Baja Fresh! I if you're going to charge ten bucks for a burrito make sure as hell your meat is edible. I've had better quality steak from tacos at a lunch truck. read more

I always have gotten the Dos Manos. It's so good! Wish they would expand their locations to Iowa.

My husband and I tried the nachos and the veggie tacos. Pretty good portions for the price and good flavor!

Gave Baja Fresh a try thinking the catering option for a family meal looked like a nice option. This was the most bland tasting food ever!!! We got the party platter so there was multiple things to choose from and the burritos were the only thing that had any flavor to them. The tacos were 90% onion and was so over powering it's all you tasted. Very disappointed and I won't need to try this chain again. read more

Did you know Baja Fresh on Lancaster is locally owned and taking to go orders? I enjoyed the chicken taco and chips. I loved how crispy both were! read more

See all

Excellent Service and food is consistent even when ordering for delivery. It is literally the only place that's gotten our order correct each and every time. My last pick up order was good. The cashier was so friendly and had a wonderful attitude despite having to work through covid. read more

Had the gluten free Fish & Chips and the fish was fresh and beautifully crisp. The fries were ample and tasted clean. First time there but they now have my appreciation and future business. It has been years since being able to enjoy a F & C dinner. Thanks folks. read more

Not nearly as good as other Baja Fresh locations. Any time we buy food here, they forget something or mess up the order completely. Most recently (11/6/21) they forgot to put in the tortillas to go with my fajitas. Go to another location if you can. read more

We order here probably twice a month. Last week the cashier was dealing with an upset customer, as soon as the upset customer walked away he turned to us and started complaining to us about how the customer was an "asshole". He also told the customer "if you don't like it don't come back here, sir". Didn't bother me much, I don't know the whole story, but their was two little girls behind us in line with their parents. Today we went there and after getting our burritos, I asked for cilantro. The cashier Magda, says they were out. Like 40% of their menu items have cilantro in them, including the salsa they handed me. She just didn't want to go get it. It was not busy and their was 3 people working up at the front counter. I do like Baja Fresh, but I definitely won't be back anytime soon to give them another chance. You can't have a culture that's it's ok to treat customers like the enemy, it ruins places. read more

Avoid at all costs. The food was mediocre, nothing special about it. Also since it is a chain, you won't get authentic Mexican food here. I have been to atleast 1 more Baja Fresh location before, this one is the worst. The tacos and quesadillas tasted like frozen ones. Service was good though. The lady behind the counter was friendly, she waited patiently while we placed our order. read more

I love the quality of the food it reminds me off moms food the Green Enchiladas are very delicios with a light spicy taste. The food is served hott and on time i bring my family here every sunday i recommend it to two friends and they to love it. read more

Baja Fresh - Red chicken enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Salem, Oregon

This was my first time here and at any Baja Fresh. The salsa bar is a plus - they have all kinds- including pico de gallo and salsa verde. The food is fresh and the tortillas HOT. I was shocked at how hot they stayed even after 10 minutes the way they were wrapped. The food was good, fresh and hot but not anything "special." I had the chicken fajitas but after I saw a person with the steak- I wish I would have tried that. It wasn't that I didn't like my meal, I did - the steak just looked amazing. The rice was a little dry for my personal taste but still ok. The portion was more than enough - I could not eat it all, especially with the chips. I probably would give them three stars for the food but the service warrants the fourth star as does the 99cent "lifetime" refills if you purchase their plastic cup. I feel biased because I am a super fan of Chipotle. Similar but different. It would be great to merge some of the features together (salsa bar, free chips and drink selection). read more

Great service, good food, and amazing salsa! Every employee seems to truly care. Very refreshing in a semi fast food environment. Did I mention, best salsa ever? read more

Not the first time we've gotten our order messed up... today it was three kids in the kitchen. After I called about our messed up order the manager offered to remake my items and said they'd be ready in 10 minutes so I show up 15 minutes later to find out it was not ready. So I wait. They had about 6 orders on their screen with one guy in the kitchen (didn't know what he was doing) one on a little break and the manager waiting for the orders. The guy making our food was putting things on that we didn't ask for and when the manager said no no no the kid looked confused and said "I don't know what goes on it" and grabs a cheat sheet on how to make the tacos. Our original orders meat was barley cooked and had a salsa that was BLACK (not sure what that was). If you work in the food industry I think you should be considerate on how you're making people's food that they pay for. Very disappointed. Maybe the kids working in the kitchen are the problem. read more

So the last few times we have been hear we have noticed a decline in the cleanliness...the food has always been delishes but the service has been sub par. I think this stems from the folks taking our order...he rushes us through the order not listening to our request just blasting out questions instead of listening too what were saying...terrible cashier/counter presence...same fella the last 3 visits. Seems like the manager but lacks personality.... read more

We placed our order online from our hotel and arranged for curbside pickup. I received acknowledgment of the order and my payment. We drive to the parking lot a few minutes before it was to be ready. We sat there, and sat there. Nothing. Finally, my husband went inside to pick it up directly. Nobody there knew anything about the order. My husband spoke with the manager and placed our order again, only to wait again. They gave him one drink cup to fill. 30 minutes had passed since our pickup time. After talking to the manager a second time, he yelled at his guys about the status of the meals, walked to the prepping area, and started putting my meal together. We finally got our meal after watching others walk in, order, and get their meals. I asked where the second drink cup was that we paid for. We got the additional cup and picked up our food. The manager put an extra guacamole cup in the bag to make up for the delay. I asked if our sauces were in the bag. Nope nor were napkins. The people working there were nice enough, but man, what a major mess up from beginning to end. read more

I have to say I'm really disappointed in this store in the last year or two. I've been in here maybe 3 times in the last 6 months and every time has been FILTHY. I LOVE their food, but the store is always a complete mess. Crumbs and food all over the floor and tables. The Salsa bar is always a mess as well. I much prefer Baja Fresh compared to the other place across the street but I may start going there instead because if the dining room is always this filthy how must the kitchen look? read more

Very disappointed today. They sent an email saying there was free pronto guacamole if you bought an entree and were a rewards member. I ordered 5 entrees online and kept pressing the free pronto guacamole, but it did not allow me to do it. I finally just ordered my food and expected I could just get the free pronto guacamole when I picked it up. That was a big mistake of mine. When I went to the store, instead of seeing what I ordered and the email which I received and giving me a free guacamole, they would not budge for over 15 minutes. Finally I said I would make a complaint, and then they finally gave me a guacamole. This is such poor customer service. Also, I looked online to let Baja Fresh know what had happened, and there is no contact information except saying to go to the store. It appears Baja Fresh does not care about their reputation. read more

BAD SNOTTY CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! From girl at counter !!!!!!!! First of all I have three kids holding a baby and was starving. My husband had the other toddlers. My mask wasn't over my nose because my purse and infant. The lady at counter yelled at me so loud and refused to serve me until I pulled my mask up. I usually have more patience but I write this with serious disgust. I pulled up my mask as my husband looked at me in disgust with her attitude too. I pulled up my mask and she still gave me attitude. It's was slightly past my nose... At that time past I could've got food. My husband stormed out with the kids and I followed. We were appalled by her rudeness!!! Today is October 2 2021. read more

I just really like Baja Fresh...I'm just a Mexican food junkie. I love the "street like" Tacos they serve here, which is generally what I order. Food is always fresh tasting, and the hot sauce bar has always been clean and well stocked. read more

Its a chain... but this place has fresh food and Im a big fan of the salsa bar. Ive never had anything that didnt taste good here. Good food, nice people, clean. read more

Yeah................ no. Well, I guess it's OK, but it's really not very flavorful. The salsas were so bland they literally tasted like water and the only thing I tasted in the steak burrito (nacho) was jalapeno. The quesadilla was terribly un-delicious. Prices are a little high, too, for the amount of food you get. The quesadilla (cheese) was $6 and was one tortilla folded in half. The "nachos" my son ordered consisted of a handful of chips, barely any cheese, and a few random tiny pieces of steak. And this was the 'grande'. To top it off, both of felt a little icky a few hours later, with my son spending a bit of time in the bathroom. Kind of weird for a place that isn't exotic at all. read more

Went for dinner. I ordered a enchilada style burrito and my wife had a chicken tostada. We split a shrimp quesadilla and an order of con queso. When we ordered the counter person was blunt and rude and apparently couldn't hear either of us. We had a hard time understanding her as she spoke very fast and not very loud. When we got our to-go order we asked for mango salsa. Instead of a polite "we are out" or something similar we got "we dont have any" very rudely and very blunt. It was obvious she didnt like her job. As our order was being made she was laughing and talking like a very happy person, but not when she was at the counter. We got home and opened our food. Mine was absolutely nothing like the example shown on their site, and neither was my wife's. Mine tasted burnt and bitter, hers was full of romaine and some dark greens but the example looked like iceberg lettuce. The chips and con queso were good (bland chips) and the shrimp quesadilla was good, but the rest of our dinner went in the trash. Not very impressed. It used to be good. read more

This is a good place, it's not authentic mexican fare, but still pretty good. The burritos are tasty, the chips are a bit oily most times I go in, however when I ask for spicy I really get what i'm asking for in a good way. The staff is friendly, and the service is about the time and wait you'd expect to get your burrito made fresh, but well worth it. Far better than taco bell, if you want something but don't want to go to a sit down restaurant. read more

Baja Fresh - ordered the steak bowl - Mexican Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Tried ordering online for Mother's Day, but I was unable to get promo code to work. I instead went into the store and ordered the Family Taco Kit which came with 12 tacos which was listed in the online menu. FYI, I now see this is no longer listed on their on-line menu. It stated the sides the tacos came with. After paying, they told me it only came with 10 tacos. I asked them to provide the amount of tacos and sides which were listed on the menu. After much insistence, they finally gave me the grilled vegetables. Again, I had to be very persistent to get the 12 tacos which were listed on the menu. After all this, I gave up on getting the rest of the toppings as I was physically exhausted from the interaction. When I got home, I looked online for the customer service number. I called and left a message. The manager of the store did call me the next day. He apologized for the incident and agreed the staff should have provided the items as stated on the menu in a willing manner. He said he would send me coupons for four meals of my choice to make up for the whole incident. He asked me to call him back when I received the coupons. I waited over two weeks and nothing came in the mail. I called the store and left a message for the manager to call me. I waited for over a week after that, and I never received a call back. I again reached out to the corporate office with an email and received an acknowledgement email. Yesterday, I received a letter in the mail from the Lancaster Baja Fresh store. Included were four coupons for one basic taco each. This was not at all what the manager said he would provide. I will let others decide if they wish to patronize this restaurant, but I value customer service and keeping to your word which did not happen. read more

I love this place! Not only are they always friendly, clean and smiling. They remember my name and I always get the chicken ceaser salad with an extra side of the cilantro ranch dressing. They have never once forgot it! My family gets a variety of things and are always pleased as well. Wish every establishment was like this place! read more

Terrible service. Mediocre food. Went here with my family. The woman at the register spent much too long trying to find our food in her system. She looked at me like I was crazy when I ordered a fish burrito and she tried to correct me by telling me I wanted a fish taco. She also mumbled and was hard to understand when she read back our order (which she placed wrong). Then top things off, she must've placed our orders wrong because everyone at my tables for the wrong food. My burrito was the wrong style (I wanted Mexicano and I got Baja style), my father had the same problem. My sister somehow got a steak fajita instead of a shrimp taco (wtf?). Then when my sister came back from changing her food at the counter, the register girl glared at her like she was threat. It was awkward to say the least. Food is good but absolutely overpriced. I will not return. If you come here, make sure an adult takes your order, not these dense amateur teenagers. read more

This place continues to make some of the best quality Mexican food around. It's very clean, as are the bathrooms and their staff/service is top notch. I have seen the manager take personal pride in the operation, including giving a free meal to a woman who had lost her money. Once, when my order was forgotten amidst my colleagues' food, I was given a complimentary gift certificate without even asking. I go here for work and eat out nights. I love the steak and shrimp burritos. They have many gluten free and dairy free options. Can't say enough. read more
