    I was a little intimidated by all the choices of seafood and Mexican food selection. The place is rather small, but really give you a large serving for fish tacos and are totally fresh and tasty. You really need to hunch over and take in the fish tacos in large bites, as they are fragile and have so much stuffed into the soft taco tortilla that you can loose much of the delicious toppings. I would like to dine in the restaurant, as there are plenty of seats, but since I was alone, I'd rather eat this at home. The fish tacos were ready in about five minutes and the staff were friendly and helpful in explaining the menu to this gringo. Although not a chain restaurant, the cuisine was that of a beach hut somewhere along a Mexican Beach, and so relaxing.

    Although the downside is no air conditioning on a hot day when you dine inside, the impeccably fresh and tasty fish tacos more than make up for this! Service is pleasant and the inside is clean. I tried the Fish Taco Combo with rice and beans. Everything tasted from scratch and full of flavor!! Would totally return!

    One of the best fish taco deals ever, 1.49 each on Wednesday and Sundays and good amount of delicious fish with free chips and salsa. Doesn't get much better than this. Come check this place out if you haven't yet. Service is amazing as well. Inside is on the smaller end but it is kept clean.

    Love this family. Father and son duo. The owner of this taco place came from PEPPERS in Arcadia back in the day. I usually get fish tacos and Menudo on Sunday.. i've actually seen mom making chile rellenos in the back.. everything is always fresh made quickly and orderly. Times are tough out there for people support your local taco spot...

    Tasty fish tacos in this quaint spot in the city of Monrovia. Located in a small plaza next to a laundromat and across from another taco stand. This place has friendly, quick service and known for their fish tacos. A great place for a quick meal or snack.

    Asada street tacos

    Got asada tacos -- a note, price has gone up to $2.49 for street tacos -- and they looked & tasted very fresh and delicious! Salsas served with tacos were watery and could really be improved if they were thicker with more concentrated flavor. Food was served with chips and pico de gallo which was nice and chunky yet also watery somehow, but the flavor was very good with just enough heat (could have been a little spicier for me!). Service was fast and friendly and the place was clean. I'd eat here again!

    Baja Mar Fish Taco is a local gem. They offer daily specials of (chicken, fish, shrimp, etc) tacos for $1.29, which are a great value. My favorites are the potatoes, fish and shrimp as I love potatoes and seafood. Excellent portions and quality.

    Still as good as the first day I came here in 2009. I haven't been here in 10 years and passing by the area I felt the need to stop by, the team member was extremely friendly, chatty and generous. Gave me free chips and salsa for the wait which was very accommodating. The dining area looked clean and well kept. Overall I think this will keep me coming back whenever I want fish tacos. Thank you

One time I ordered 4 tacos, 1 burrito, a drink and churros and it took them longer than 25 minutes to be ready. The people who dined in that were behind me in line were served first. This defeats the purpose of takeout... also they burnt the heck out of my churros and still have them to me like that. Their employees are rude especially the girl with the fake red hair. She' s vulgar talking to coworkers instead of customers and a rude attitude. She was rude with an attitude when asked her about drink prices (not on the menu) and a question about the salsa bar . She made me feel like I was a bothering her after spending over $50 in their establishment. The way she behaves makes you think she owns the business. Another thing is that they don't listen or pay attention to your order. Both in person and for delivery they end up messing up your order. It was simple no onions on 3 tacos and they always mess up my son's food. Now I have an angry and hungry little kid on top of the experience. I keep going back because their food is good and kind of hope to have a better experience. I don't I'll go back, it's a shame but it's not worth it anymore. Gave this place many chances to support a small business but they don't reciprocate the love back. This place could be a 5 star but their employees hinder the restaurant back from being that.

Everything looked so clean, well-organized, and inviting. The restaurant itself is lovely, with plenty of seating for a party of one or many. There is ample space for special occasions, a large bar area, a large dining room, clean bathrooms, and AMAZING staff. Every single employee welcomed us to the restaurant. Employees were very friendly, polite, hard-working, and engaging. The food was absolutely delicious! I had the "Martha Salad" while my wife had the Pozole Verde. Both were delicious, perfectly made, very tasty, and filling. The chips and salsa were so good that we ordered a second serving, which is rare for us. We plan to invite family and friends in the very near future so that we can reserve the private group area and have our own party :)

The margaritas were honestly some of the worst we've had -- they tasted like straight margarita mix blended with ice, and we could barely drink them. The enchiladas were also very underwhelming, especially for the price. It was basically shredded chicken in tortillas with sauce, rice, and beans, and for $20 it just wasn't worth it. The food tasted very Americanized and lacked authentic Mexican flavor and seasoning. That being said, the customer service was amazing. The two ladies who helped us were incredibly attentive, kind, and kept checking on us. They offered extra drinks and multiple items, which we normally appreciate because when we go to Mexican restaurants we usually order multiple rounds and end with Cadillac margaritas. Unfortunately, the drinks were so bad we didn't want to order anything else, but their effort and service did not go unnoticed. One small disappointment was when I asked for hot sauce to add more flavor to my green sauce enchiladas, and I was brought the same red enchilada sauce instead, which made the meal worse. I am a food and beverage manager myself, and I can honestly say I would hire those two servers in a heartbeat because they were fabulous. The service was excellent -- it's just the food and drinks that really need improvement.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. We did run into a minor snag--the kitchen printer actually ran out of paper right as our order went through, which led to a bit of a delay. However, this is where the service truly shined. Rather than leaving us wondering, the staff was incredibly transparent and apologetic. They went above and beyond to make it right, surprising us with a round of drinks and a big bowl of fresh guacamole on the house while we waited. It's rare to find a place that handles a mistake with such grace and generosity. The tacos themselves were high-quality, flavorful, and very reasonably priced. It feels great to support a small business that clearly values its customers. If you're looking for great food and a team that genuinely cares about your experience, look no further!
