Had the Ca Burrito with steak. It was huge and tasty! The Chips and salsa were delish! The restaurant was clean and inviting. Even though it was late and they were closing they welcomed us in. The owners waited on us and had great customer service! We definitely will be back. read more

While I was waiting for my eldest daughter, I wanted to try Baja Taco. I love Mexican food. Shrimp is my go-to seafood so anything shrimp is good for me. I was the only customer at the time. The lady behind the counter greeted me soon after she saw me. It was my first time here so I had some questions about the menu. I ended up getting the shrimp burrito and two tacos plate with rice and beans. Shrimp burrito had 10 shrimps and great flavors... it was indeed very tasty... wowza! My kind of burrito LOL. As for the tacos, they were okay... beef and chicken were a tad dry. Beans were very moist and yummy. Rice on the other hand was a tad tough... not fluffy enough. They have a salsa bar... their salsas are very authentic in taste and flavor! Btw, they have a 3 feet burrito. Look up! Staff was very nice and friendly. Ambiance was quite clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this taco place for the connoisseurs who love Mexican food. See you here! read more

My husband was craving tacos so we stopped in and picked up a few street tacos and a crispy potato taco. The tacos were yummy and the kitchen was very quick to prepare our order and get us back on the road. Looks like a cute little restaurant but we were coming back from an all day event and just wanted to pick up something quick but delicious and go home. It was a freezing day so I was looking forward to sweats and a big old sweater. I would definitely recommend and will definitely come back. read more

I gave 1 star for the reason that I had been there three times prior, excellent burrito. Went in this afternoon. Burrito had absolutely no flavor. Turned into a commercial style burrito. 95% beans and rice. 2% meat. Yes I know there's 3% missing. That belonged to the how well they wrapped it in foil. Bummed out. Now I'm stuck with this meal if I can call it that. read more

So disappointed. Orders nacho and carne Asada fries. Asked for the sour cream on the side and fries crispy for our take out. When we got home, 7 minute drive, and opened the fried, the sour cream had curdled on the fries and partially on the nachos. The fries were also undercooked and the carne asada tastes horrible, almost like it was going bad. I'll be going back to my previous spot for sure... read more

I haven't been here since it first opened yeeeears ago! I've been missing out. Although it's not a huge sit down restaurant, it's big enough to bring your family and dine in. The service was excellent, I definitely felt welcomed and the staff and cooks were super friendly! Now the food, I ordered the Chicken Taquitos Platter and man were the taquitos delicious! I also got asada tacos and they were great too, but I think the taquitos stole the show. My wife got the charbroiled chicken plate and was taken back by how good they are. Our kids got a taco and a quesadilla and everyone ate good tonight. Don't forget to get some horchata, it's the best I've had. Just a heads up, their salsas are amazing, but have a big kick to them. I definitely felt nostalgic as the food brought me back to my childhood days at my moms. We'll be back here for sure! read more

Baja Taco - shrimp $2.50 good price. I added easy beans to my burrito I always get. and charged me a $1.79 and then $4 a piece for the medium drinks - Mexican Near Me - Apple Valley, California

Everything is always great!! Been coming here for years and after finding out that the original baja taco changed to a baja taco plus that's not affiliated, this one is 10 times better! Pepe is just the best! Everyone is friendly, it's always clean, it may be smaller but it's not that bad, it's chill and relaxing/quiet. Their mini salsa bar is delicious and they have so many awesome specials, you cannot beat their taco Tuesday for $1.99!! We got the shrimp and carnitas today and they were so good, really hit the spot! We drive out of our way to go to this one because it's totally worth it! read more

If you haven't yet tried Baja Taco, you're missing out! So go there right now! I think it's a hidden gem tucked away in the Ono Hawaiian BBQ parking lot in Apple Valley, CA. I have been here twice and each time was amazing! The food is DELICIOUS! It's so clean and fresh tasting! Today, I got the "3 mini taco special." It even came with a drink for only $12.99. What a great deal! As I said, the food is fresh and delicious. It was a generous portion of YUM! To add to this very special place is the outstanding customer service of the cashier! The receipt says "Jaydin," but I don't know if that's his name. He is so sweet and friendly. He actually smiles and gives consistently great customer service to every customer! In an era where young people have no concept of what "customer-service" even means and are getting paid $20 an hour to be surly and lazy, Jaydin totally blasts it out of the park, (or Baja Taco!) He is an example to every cashier on how to do it right! Go for the wonderful food, at a moderate price, and stay for the excellent service! Thank You so much Baja Taco team!!! Keep it up!!! Apple Valley needs you! read more

I went for taco Tuesday and they had tacos for $1.99. I got a shrimp taco, fish taco and chicken taco. In all honesty, the only one I don't have any complaints about is the chicken taco. The shrimp one only had 3 small shrimp and was slathered in some kind of sauce that completely took away the shrimp flavor. The fish taco had the same issue. I've had their hard shell chicken tacos before and they were fantastic so I was surprised these soft tacos weren't that great. read more

I have been eating Baja Taco for 15 years when I moved here to Apple Valley from Chatsworth California, I saw that they were selling 2 chicken soft tacos, Spanish rice and beans and a soda for $1.99 and now in the year 2025 there 2 Chicken soft tacos, Spanish Rice, Beans with a Soda. Cost $6.89 it's still worth it, there tacos come with pico de gallo which is chopped onions, cilantro, tomatoes everything is always fresh. read more

Extremely disappointed with THE worst menudo. Please do not come for food; the menudo had so much oil, the meat did not look cooked ,it did not look ready to eat. We left and did not even eat it. Shame on Baja Taco for allowing food to be serve this way. Baja Taco has the worst menudo in the high desert. read more

Where do I start! Being Mexican let me be the first to say not all Mexican should open a taco place! I ordered a bean and carne asada burrito, $8 for some mucked up flavorless beans, and maybe, MAYBE 3 pieces of meat not asada either cause we all know it's not the same as the cheaper meat. This was 100% not carne asada! The large piece of pelliejo (fatty piece) was the icing on the cake! Carne asada fries!? Again, that is not carne asada! It was almost shredding, that's something else. Not rotted, not gone bad, but it sure the hell wasn't carne asada. Learn your meats you're Mexican! The fries tasted of pure old oil! Guacamole more like Guacala (means yuck for my gringo peeps)! The cashiers couldn't get it right. We said no this, she decided no that! For Pedro's sake (like Pete, but you know, a Spanish version)! I don't know how this place is standing, it must be that many people that don't know good Mexican food are bamboozled thinking this is as good as it gets! Trust me everyone, Mexican food when done right is amazing! Try downtown L.A. for real Mexican places, no one around here seems to be able to get it right! It is clean. Can't say staff smiles, the person training the cashier looked like she was going to slap me for asking for no rice in the burrito...guess I'm OG Mexican cause we normally do NOT out rice in a burrito, q la chingada! read more

Muy buen menudo my first time buying at Baja taco will be back soon and try the tacos

The food was amazing. I love the lady that took my order. She was super nice and I love that she made conversation with me. I love the guy that made my food. He made my food really really good. I will definitely come back to this place. read more

I wish I had taken a picture of the food before we ate because it looked SO good but I was so hungry! I had the Chile Relleno burrito and my mom had the Chile Relleno plato with rice and beans. The quality was really impressive! I highly recommend the Avocado Salsa to pair everything with. The food was hot and very fresh! And the prices were very reasonable for the huge portion you get for everything! And the customer service was really great also! The young lady that helped up gave us the recommendations and she was very sweet! She checked up with us and really made a great effort. The restaurant was very clean, and had a warm and inviting atmosphere. I will 100% come back! Thank you! :) read more

The food was good. Very tasty and delicious. Got a decent amount of food. The family bundle was what we ordered and it was pretty much worth it although I feel like it could have used something more. Maybe some grilled onions on the side or a side of beans/rice. The service was fast and reliable easy. The restaurant itself is very nice. read more

First time visiting this location. The service was decent. It took a while to get our food but that's understandable due to only one person cooking. I bit into my breakfast burrito and I crunched on some egg shells. Not what you'd expect but opening it up, I discovered more shells. Flavor was lacking from most of the food we ordered. Very disappointed with our meal. read more

I absolutely love this place.We ate the 3 ft long burrito. 4 adults couldn't even destroy this sucker.I recommend the carniasada burrito. The meat has been marinaded in the best ingredients. SO GOOD!!!The service was polite and kind.Thank you Baja Taco... read more

The food is good. But not consistent. One time nice full tacos and the next time skimpy tacos. We go a couple times a month but sometimes we are disappointed. Also, the staff sets the phone off the hook. Sometimes they answer and forget to come back to the phone. This can be frustrating. It's happened more than a a couple times. So now we go in person to order. It has always appeared to be clean when we have gone in. read more

Went there today for a Torta de Carne Asada. It was delicious. The service was quick and professional. Mexican music was playing on the overhead speakers. The atmosphere was quiet and nice. I took home an order of chicken taquitos combo with beans and rice which was also delicious. Good work guys! read more

I'm new to this town so this was the first time trying out this place. I was surprised at how good the food was! They had great customer service! The restaurant and the restrooms were also very clean. I'm definitely coming back! Btw, their carne asada tacos and shrimp tacos are tastier than other tacos I've tried in the area. read more

If you don't mind the crowd... The food is good, prices are good but not rock-bottom like they used to be. That does seem to have improved the clientele a little bit. It used to be gross in terms of the kinds of people it attracted who would then go on to leave the place an absolute mess. I mean - what do you expect for a bargain-basement pricing shtick? But, as I said, it seems to have improved. I usually doordash it so i don't have to deal with any crowd issues. The tweakers and poor folks need to seriously stay at the McDonald's on Hwy 18. read more

So my first time here and I wasn't too impressed with the atmosphere and the food. It wasn't a welcoming restaurant and the place felt like I was in the middle of nowhere and it was my only choice of restaurant. It felt like Gordon Ramsey was just going to walk in and shoot an episode of kitchen nightmare. I gave it a benefit of a doubt to try their food and it came to be as equal as the restaurant decor... plain. I wanted to order the shredded beef burrito but they ran out of beef. Mind you it was 11 in the morning. So I order the carne asada burrito..... it was more like rice and beans burrito. You would think that they were either conserving or they ran out of meat. Like I said, it felt like a restaurant out of nowhere. I definitely won't be back here. I recommend going elsewhere. read more

The food was fantastic and the family pal was a great deal! Order online and it was ready when I got there!

Came in again today to give it another shot and that short older fat lady was really disrespectful seemed like she didn't even want to be their i don't know why they haven't let her go but she should be let go off read more

Unfortunately, yesterday my daughter and I visited on Taco Tuesday and she ordered 2 chicken tacos and I got a potato taco and her chicken taco had maggots in it. When I brought it to the attention of the chef he didn't seem surprised however the cashier was shaken and disgusted. My daughter literally threw up in the parking lot for about 15 minutes and literally cried for about 15 minutes after that, she is traumatized by that experience and I'm quite frankly disappointed in the disregard of the chef. I will never go back and am sickened by this experience. read more

Love this place. We have purchased catering from them for the past two years for 30 person parties. The food is great and the amount they give us is great as well. Unfortunately the second time we purchased for catering, the girl that took our order didn't note a substitution that we requested so the day we picked it up, we were missing some food and had extra of what we didn't order. Im really appreciative though that they were able to correct our order then and there and supplement the original substitution we asked for. Definitely going to going back to them anytime we need any catering. read more

Good and clean with the service being great, this one in apple Valley, california . They helped us with daily specials and the menu.

Open for dine in and take out, I ordered to go and while the food was prepared quickly and provided with decent customer service there was no cilantro only onions in the tacos which is totally fine but the steak tasted like a campfire. It was very dry. read more

So today was a very bad day for Baja Taco. As of right now myself and my family will no longer be supporting this business. The lack of professionalism from the staff when handling a simple refund has turned into something way bigger than it needs to be. My mother-in-law made a simple mistake and called the wrong location to place an order, within a short time frame of 6-8 minutes realizing her error she called the location directly. She was told that there was nothing that can be done, and even went as far as saying the food would just be thrown out with a charge being made to her card. When she asked for the women's name, the employee responded by say "I don't need to give you that information." After being talked down too for the better part of 5 minutes and ultimately no resolution she came back home in tears... This of course is when I decided to get involved and called in. After speaking with Peppe (unsure of spelling) who identified as the manager on duty, I was told it was too late, and nothing can be done. I asked him if it was normal to not give a first name, and speak rudely to guest, his response was I don't know... After trying to get things resolved I was told I would have to speak with the owner, who renamed nameless and no contact information given.. Id just have to call back until I reach him. So I hope the owner reads these reviews! I will be updating this with 24 hours to let anyone who looks for an establishment to eat at to avoid this one completely. It's not about the food, the time taken to prepare, but solely on their responsibility to ensure great guest service within the hospitality industry. With businesses closing down every day permenatly due to COVID-19, one of the biggest things any restaurant or hospitality business can do is step up there game when treating guest with basic respect. You and your staff failed miserably today, and again, I will edit this review based on your response back. If none is given or I am not called back by the owner (peppe has my name and phone number) I will see to it that anyone who is willing to listen should not visit your place of business ever again. read more

Baja Taco - a burrito wrapped in aluminum foil and a pencil - Mexican Near Me - Apple Valley, California

Funny that a Covid reminder popped up before review. "It said remember that many businesses are doing their best" Well sorry to say not this business. They have no regard for customer service. Not only their staff, but even the manager who should do better, did not. After placing an order, I realized I had made a mistake in location. When I called to attempt to resolve, they basically said: "sorry charlie." We will not help you... This simple mistake has lost my business, as their customer service is hateful and rude. They made no attempt to rectify in anyway. The gal who took the order, was so disrespectful. Yes during covid, business owners should be mindful to be helpful and kind, not snarky and rude. So long Baja Taco Apple Valley read more
