    This Baja Fresh is located in the North Park Plaza. They have plenty of parking, but it can get challenging during peak hours because they share it with other restaurants and H Mart. Service is friendly, polite, and fairly quick. They have inside and outside seating available. They have a good salsa bar with all the fixings, especially their mango salsa, which is good. I've only gotten their burritos, which are good. Their fountain drinks are nicely carbonated.

    Not terrible but certainly not great. Since I was in the area, I made the decision to grab myself some Baja Fresh. It had been YEARS & YEARS since I last ate here and thought "why not??" While they are widely known for their fish tacos, I ended up with the Steak Burrito Ultimo and my purchase came with tortilla chips. Chips were not good- I like that the chips weren't thick but they were undeniably stale. Salsas were alright but the burrito was small in size and not tasty. 2 stars, I should have just driven a little further & hit up another burrito joint located in the neighboring complex.

    Grilled veggie baha burrito

    $60 for 3 baja burritos and drinks. Too expensive. This location will be closed next month according to baja fresh corporate at 1-800-705-5754. Food quality has gone from bad to worse. The tortilla wasn't crisp, like Baja fresh bread. Burritos did not have cream, guacamole, salsa, cheese or even salt. Blend and blah taste. Soggy tortilla with rice, beans and grilled veggies (see picture). Food quantity is low. One plate of chips was given with 3 burritos. When asked at the counter, he asked us to purchase with no explanation of why each order did not come with a plate of chips. Service is rude and inattentive. Restrooms are filthy. It's horrendous to see a restaurant to go from my favorite to last choice. My last visit. Hopefully this location closes soon. to give place for a new and exciting one.

    Had a great experience here on a Sunday evening. The worker was friendly, and answered all of our questions patiently. Repeated our order back to us to make sure she got it right. I didn't want guacamole so she replaced it with extra sour cream at no additional cost. We ordered two quesadillas for takeout with both steak and shrimp for each. I added roasted veggies in one. The wait was about 10 minutes or so, with no other customers in front of us, and the worker offered salsa of our choosing to go with the chips which were included with our meal. We got one mild and one spicy. Nothing extraordinary about these, pretty watery actually. But the quesadillas were so yummy. Cut and packaged perfectly, generously filled with fresh toppings and melted cheese, and the steak and shrimp were juicy and flavorful like right off the grill. The store was clean and inviting, with a modern look. Lots of seating both indoors and outside. And plenty of parking out front. I'll definitely be back!

    Chicken Baja Burrito Chips and Salsa (8oz)

    I've been eating at this Baja Fresh since I was a child, and man....it's so disappointing to see how the quality of food has progressively gone downhill over the past few years. They've cut a lot of their best items from the menu, such as the chicken torta, and every time I order, I feel like their recipes become progressively more bland and mediocre. Baja Fresh used to be incredible and my favorite place for Mexican food, but I would never go out of my way to eat here anymore. I sincerely hope that management takes a good look at how they can improve the quality of their food and service, especially with so many competitors nearby like Chipotle across the street.

    Guac, chips, & my salsa lineup from the salsa bar
    Evelyn H.

    I cautiously ventured out for dinner tonight, despite unsuccessfully trying to recover from my annoying cold. A warm, comforting bean & cheese burrito sounded nice, so the hubby and I decided to do it. I've been to this location a few times & each time,the parking lots is a little nutso. If you can avoid passing through the HMart as really of the lot, I'd highly recommend it. We ordered 2 bean & cheese burritos with a small side of guacamole & chips. We also remembered to bring our reusable cups, so our sodas ended up being $.99 each (woohoo - so worth it!) Let me just say now that not all Baja Fresh locations are the same. This one probably makes the best guacamole I've had. Their bean & cheese burrito is also on point. I always say that if you can't get the basics right, then you're in trouble. These guys get the basics right! The place is clean, the salsa bar is well-stocked & also clean. The service was super-nice. We even got offered extra chips! I

    The hand-tossed BBQ chicken salad
    Angela B.

    I miss Baja Fresh. They used to have one in Franklin, TN and they used to have one in Downtown Chicago. Both went away and I had not been back until this week when I was driving around looking for a place for lunch. I wanted a salad and because I was in a hurry, I just ordered the hand tossed Baja BBQ Chicken Salad. When it arrived, I had to laugh. The size of the salad was enough to feed a family of four people. It was almost a platter of salad. I think it even would rival an entrée salad from The Cheesecake Factory. The salad. Fresh lettuce. Jicama strips. Bell peppers. Avocado. Tortilla strips. Huge chunks of the most delicious grilled chicken. The salad dressing that came on the side was good but I barely used any. Why bother with the extra calories and fat when you can just create your own salsa "dressing" with all of the salsas from the Salsa Bar? I really like the salsa/topping bar. I think there were about 8 different salsas, jalapenos, limes, etc. to help yourself to. I also got a side of chips with my salad. I don't know if chips usually come with the salad, but I ate them. With all 8 different types of salsa. I really really wish they would bring back more Baja Fresh locations.

    Enchilada Style Diablo Burrito
    Shreya S.

    I've been coming here since I was a small kid, and maybe it's the nostalgia that gets me, but I think this place is amazing! I always get the vegetarian Diablo Burrito when I come here (they may have taken it off the menu, but as for it and they'll know exactly what you're talking about), and the sauce is so amazing it really ties the whole burrito together. Not to forget the salsa bar, another highlight of my childhood, but experimenting with them is always so fun. Anytime I'm extra hungry, I get the enchilada style burrito for just a bit more, and its so great- they also include nachos covered in the sauce which makes it so filling!

    Two fish taco combo $7.19

    Baja Fresh use to be a decent place to eat. I usually get the fish taco. I really don't know what happen, the fish they use really change, it's more like a square stick, maybe I'm just not use to eating fish this way. It's just strange. I got the grill fish and it didn't taste grill at all, no grill marks, more like steam fish. I don't know if it's only this location. I usually go to Baja Fresh in South Lake Tahoe and it's always been decent. The service was speedy and quick. Parking lot can be jam pack during lunch.

    The amount of salsa verde I received for my salad. Boo!
    Susan R.

    I ordered a Baja Ensalada with Salsa Verde dressing on the side through Grubhub. See the picture, I received a large amount of some dressing I don't want and a half filled small container of the dressing I want. I can't even call them to complain because they turned their phone off. So disappointed because I usually eat in at this location for lunch.

The churros were really good although we wish there was a non filled ones too and to have the optionof if we wanted it dressed up because churros are already super sweet with the cinnamonand sugar dusted but caramel and whip cream was added along with a strawberry filling.

I had the carne asada burrito, it was good but nothing over the top that made it stand out. My friend had enchiladas with mole. We were most excited about dessert and decided to share the churros and Tres leches. It was a nice touch that the churros and Tres leches did not come plain, a little pizzazz since they were both served with berries, whipped cream, and a cajeta style sauce. Both of the desserts were so good and a perfect touch of sweetness.

We waited 1.5 hours to be seated while half the restaurant sat empty. After we were seated, it took about 30 minutes for anyone to ask if we wanted drinks, another 30 minutes before our order was taken, and then an hour for the food to arrive. Throughout the wait, several servers were gathered in the corner talking and laughing while tables--including ours--were left unattended. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for the service. The meat was dry, lacked flavor, and the shrimp was so chewy that I couldn't finish it. It was honestly one of the worst shrimp dishes I've ever been served. I've seen countless influencers giving this place glowing reviews, and after eating here, I simply don't believe them. My experience was the complete opposite. If you appreciate good food and good service, I would strongly recommend spending your money somewhere else.

FOOD: Food is usually great. I remember them being better when they first opened, but maybe today was an off day? CHIPS & GUAC (4/5) - Chips came out hot and glistening, so I assume they are freshly made. The guacamole was good, but it lacked depth. It was creamy, not spicy, and salsa costs extra. I personally like it without salsa, but I can see this turning people off. LAMB QUESABIRRIA (3.7/5) - Consommé felt a little flat. I personally have had better consommé tbat was richer in flavor. It came out piping hot. Overall, it was good but given the price and flavor I wouldn't get it again. COD TACOS (4/5) - Again, portions are on the smaller side.

HOUSE LEMONADE (5/5) - Refreshing and sour :) SERVICE: They could probably use another waiter/waitress. Friendly and helpful, but it's a little slow.
