Still great bites for a good price I come here from time to time. This place is very much a good quality but ample portions place. So for those looking to fill their bellies with good eats then this place fits the bill. Tried their birria tacos, and they were cheesy and greasy in the best way. The consommé was flavorful and not too overpowering. You could eat it like a soup and be pleasantly surprised. The beef was tender but a little dry. Needed the broth. As a quick casual bite place, it's a very solid place to go. The parking lot is the biggest gripe, but outside of the businesses control. Worth a try if you're hungry and want lots of good food read more

My friend and I tried Baja's for lunch today and were very pleasantly surprised. We had never heard of Baja's despite being in the area often, but we are so glad we got a chance to try it. We ordered a wet burrito and a chimichanga, both of which were delicious and huge, especially for the price. The food was all very fresh tasting and cooked/prepared perfectly. We also chose to eat in the restaurant, which for a quick-service place was quite cozy and inviting. Overall, great prices, great food, and great convenience. We will definitely be returning soon. read more

HUGE bonus that this place offers maduros, which are a game changer to any dish. They are an additional cost but that is compensated by the free guac!! I love the alternative option to a Chipotle or Moes, and this place offers much more variety at a fairly cheaper cost. Everything tasted delicious and we would come back again. My only complaint are the plastic containers that the food comes in.. Hot food on plastic is not great for your health or the environment, so I hope they switch these out with something more eco and human friendly. read more

The wet burritos are HUGE and very delicious! Highly recommend this place. Would def come back again!

Yes, yes, yes! Surprisingly good!! It used to be a Burger-Fi that closed down, but they kept the furnature and lighting fixtures. The ambiance was good, It was bright and clean the music was appropriate and not blaring. I had expected it to be like another Chipoltle (which I don't love, but we won't get into that here) but I was pleasantly suprised. This place had excellent service, the meats were cooked and seasoned perfectly, and the veggies tasted like they were fresh off the grill! Portion sizes were generous and the food was served in a to-go container that were (pro: leakproof with great seal as not to leak juice from leftovers and very sturdy / con: VERY hard to open.) The concept is "similar" to Baja Fresh which is also good, but I thought this place was a step above that. I was impressed. I would definately re-visit this establishment & recommend it to others. read more

Service was quick, food was ready, and the ambiance felt like an authentic Mexican meal. Reminds me of the flour tortillas my family makes from Honduras. It was cheap considering the fresh food you can eat. I spent $13 for this burrito. Thanks Bajas. read more

One of the best bang for your buck in the area. Food always tastes fresh and it's always ready right on time. Ordering online is super easy and convenient. Every meal turns into two with the size of the portions! Honestly haven't been disappointed once getting our food to go from here. This is what chipotle should be !! read more

I had the chimichanga and it was absolutely delicious! The staff was very friendly and kind. The food was so fresh and yummy. It was also very affordable. Definitely so much better than chipotle. read more

Always a delight! Great food and service. A bargain and a pleasure. I really appreciate the care and consideration the employees offer.

I had no expectations going in (I just needed a quick bite after shopping at BJ's nextdoor), but was very pleasantly surprised. The prices match the going rate for Mexican-style, fast-casual restaurants (Chipotle, Qdoba, Moe's, etc), but very jusy weights when it came to protein/toppings. The seasoning on everything on my burrito was excellent, and the extra hot salsa was flavorful, while still packing a wallop of spicy heat. The staff was very friendly and attentive as well. I'll definitely return. read more

Today I stopped at Baja's for lunch... it's the kind of food that warmed my heart!! So much so that I couldn't wait too long to write this review. In general I love Mexican food, and if you are too .. then you really must check them out ASAP. So many menu choices soups & salads, tacos, wet burritos, enchiladas, and quesadillas they even have subs and wraps. But when I saw the taco shell salad.. I had to have it... you can add your choice of protein but I had a vegetarian bowl, rice, bean guac, jalapeño oh and those pickled onions (yum) topped with hot sauce. I ate it to my hearts content. I was tempted to have churros (6) with ice cream but I'll save that for next time. They also had horchata, tamarindo and passion fruit for drinks. The interior is so elegant and aesthetic.. It's probably my favorite restaurant at the moment and I can't wait to go back! read more

Last night my friend and I went to Baja's in Manchester. We were both in the mood for Mexican food, so this was the place. The colors are sure to catch your eye, there's colorful words on the windows outside. The inside is very cute with some colorful, Mexican decor. This is a fast food type of place. You order at the counter, tell them exactly what to put in your meal, it will be ready very quickly. You can then dine inside, or you can take it to go. I got three soft tacos. I'm not really fond of meat, when they asked me what kind of meat I would like, I'm not sure why I said pulled pork. I should have skipped it for sure. This pulled pork completely ruined these tacos. It was far too salty. Additionally, I got guacamole, tomatoes, corn and shredded cheese in my tacos. Everything appeared pretty good. It was difficult to deal with the salty pulled pork once it was already there. My friend got a quesadilla with shrimp, beans, zucchini and cheese. This was a very filled quesadilla. It was very good, not at all salty like mine was. Both of our portions were pretty big. Baja's is a nice place to get some Mexican food in a pinch. Just choose your ingredients wisely. read more

The food was excellent and prepared very well. The menu was a little confusing but after a few minutes, we figured it. The restaurant was very busy, but the wait staff handled it very well. read more

This visit was our second to a Bajas. We've been impressed with the quality and value of the food. Lots of choices - no matter your tastes or dietary needs. My wife and I both had veggie salads - in addition to the lettuce base, we got a lot of sautéed vegetables - and of course, lots of other choices, including rice, beans, corn, pico, cheese, salsa olives, peppers and more. For a reasonable up-charge, you could get add-ones like guacamole, avocado and plantains. (We got the avocado and plantains.) They also make rice bowls, tacos, burritos, and more. Here's the surprising thing: they have a variety of non-Latin foods - from Chicken wings to steak and cheese grinders! Service was speedy. The place - which used to be a Burger-Fi - is big and clean. read more

Definitely would come back here again! They have a large selection of items to choose from. Their meats were delicious and they have a variety of toppings to choose from similar to chipotle. The service is good. Inside the restaurant you seat yourself and order up front. It is very clean and the decor was fitting. A quick delicious new spot to try in the buckland area! read more

The food at Baja is great however the multiple times that I personally been there, I never see any smiles , noone greeting us , wishing a good day or at least telling their customer to enjoy their food. Im a good tipper however I never do cause I feel that they there to work without interaction . Its sad that such of great place have hire people who don't have any people skills. They'll laugh and talk to each other but never with the customer and if they do I never experience it. I wouldve gave a 5 but im knocking 3 off cause for me ill like the people that makes or serve my food to be a bit pleasant read more

I haven't been up this way in about three months, and in that time Baja's opened in the former Manchester BurgerFi location. Going on positive reviews, I placed an online order for a rice bowl and went to pick it up. The thing was HUGE and made correctly, and a serious value for the number of ingredients included, namely: Rice Black Beans Shrimp Grilled onions and peppers Grilled veggie mix Cheddar Cheese Cilantro Sour Cream Guacamole Tomatoes Pico Olives Lime Wedges This gut buster cost $11.50 before tax and was worth it. Happy to see they were pretty busy at noon on a Friday, perhaps cashing in on the BJ's shoppers wandering over from next door. If I had any complaint it would be the pickup process. There isn't one. You have to kind of stand near the register and grab the attention of someone to get your bag for you. Maybe to prevent theft? read more

Went there for lunch. Got there just in time. Line was to the door as we sat and ate. Food was great, No issues. Portions were great, and they were very generous. Beats chipotle 100%. Two burritos and a quesadilla was 30 bucks. Drink selection is huge. Mexican Coke and Fanta, fountain drinks. 100% would go again. Place was clean and the staff was very nice. read more

This place is so damn good. My friends and I love going it's like a chipotle on steroids. You get so much food and it's always so tasty and flavorful. They also have amazing cheesesteaks which you wouldn't really expect. Their bomb stir fry wrap is so fire. I get their delivery too and they don't skimp like chipotle but if you do go there in person I usually get more. read more

Great crew, friendly and quick. Brightly lit, plenty of seats. But thats where it ends for me. Tried a trio of taco's. They were...ok. But by the time they got home they were a mushy taco salad. Blame it on the transit. Got a trio of enchilada's. The salsa verde poured on top was... not sure where they got the recipe from, but I wasn't thrilled. The meat filling was uneventful. Rice on the side had a funky flavor. I ate one enchilada and ended up tossing the other two. Overall I felt $26 bucks go down the drain. Maybe i'm just used to the Toro Azteca up the hill, cus this was like a different flavor profile all together. Wasn't working for me. Hopefully they are able to last longer than the Burger FI that was located here before this. Best of luck. read more

We ordered take out. Restaurant was well lit and clean. They made our food fast, and it was excellent! We ordered tacos and the rice bowl. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

This place beats any chain! Fast casual done right. Everything is fresh! The service is outstanding, the restaurant is always immaculate and has plenty of seating! I eat here multiple times a week and refer this place to anyone who is tired of Chipotle and Moe's. read more

There's a lot of choices in the area when it comes to burritos tacos etc. I was honestly happily surprised with how good the food is. I was expecting a chipotle vibe but so so much better. I got a pork burrito and it was a 10/10. Queso was great, guac was amazing, and I ordered the tamarind juice and it was gone quick! I didn't finish my burrito and heated it up the next day and somehow it was just as good! Happy we found our new place!! read more

I really love this place. The food is always fantastic, you get a generous portion for an affordable price, it tastes fresh and flavorful, and is always ready quickly when placing an online order. My go-to rice bowl Never disappoints, 10/10 read more

So far i tried just about everything on the menu & it's always good. I highly recommend this place for fresh food & good service

I loved this restaurant. Very nice friendly servers that truly look like they want to be there. Food was fresh and many options. Large portions and brought half of my salad home with me. Hubby had very filling and delicious nachos. Prices were very reasonable. Restaurant was very clean. Will be coming back. read more

Meh, it's fast food. I had the chipotle chicken enchiladas with red sauce. They were mediocre. My biggest complaint is how luke warm they were. They went through a device to melt the cheese but otherwise they were pretty cool and not super appetizing. Not sure I'll come back. Flavors were ok, but the temperature was really off putting. read more

Great food, great service and great value. This restaurant is our new go to when shopping in Manchester.

Fantastic find, not too far off of 84. Fresh food, and very clean establishment. We had carnitas tacos, quesadillas and churros. They have a nice selection of salsas as well. Everything was delicious--the churros come out hot with a side of ice cream. Friendly staff behind the counter. We did not feel rushed despite a small line forming behind us. We will definitely be back. read more

Wow! I grew up in a Mexican household. This is where I'll eat when I want to go home.

Usually very good but today not so much. Ordered online a salad with chicken. The salad was SOAKED it was so gross and idk what it was soaked with because the dressing came on the side. Couldn't eat it at all threw it all away. Luckily I got 2 tacos on the side those very good and very much loaded up on toppings but the salad really sucked. read more

Excellent service! Super delicious. My mother ordered the chicken quesadilla and she's not one to eat all her food and she finished it all. I ordered the taco salad and let me tell you I was stuffed. Chicken was so well seasoned and tender, plus you add all the toppings you want. Will definitely return there again!! read more

Been here about five times, I've had quesadillas, burritos, and wet burritos. Extremely great bang for your buck. The portions sizes are huge. Food is fresh....for all you back of house restaurant folk, they keep all of their toppings in shallow third pans so you know it hasn't been sitting out all day. All of the counter workers are friendly, and very clean looking open kitchen environment. I just wish they had chorizo as a protein option read more

Food was good. Only issue is they forgot to include my Veggies in my takeout order. It's frustrating to get home and find something is missing. read more

Save yourself the hassle and order online. Waited in line for 20 mins expecting my food to be ready by the time I got up to the counter after ordering once already. Nope, they took my order for a 2nd time and had to wait an additional 10 mins for my food. Make it make sense. read more

First time here, and first mouthful was so delicious I couldn't wait to have another bite, I had a Mexican bowl combination and it was so flavorful. My wife had a burrito which was huge and she thought it was awesome. Wait staff were very patient and helpful with my selection since it was my first time but definitely not my last since this is my GoTo Mexican restaurant from now on read more

Thier food is DELICIOUS! Comes fully loaded and wit LOTS of authentic options. Definitely now my regular spot. You heardddd
