Biggest burritos and chimichangas I have ever seen! This spot is conveniently located on Thayer street and if you go in-person, you truly get to customize your meals! There are endless filling and topping combinations. On my last visit I was greeted by a staffer who complimented my outfit. I immediately wanted to order everything after that welcome! The staff waited patiently as I evaluated all the topping choices and finally ordered nachos and a chimichanga. I watched in awe as the guy behind the counter expertly arranged the 50/11 toppings I chose into that flour tortilla with style and grace. It defied laws of science, but he did it! He then deep fried it to perfection and added the extras on both plates with the skill of a culinary professional. It was all in the wrist! Both meals had a beautiful aesthetic. No mess, no slop...and I appreciate my meal looking as great as it tastes. The flavors were amazing and everything looked and tasted so fresh. The "pièce de résistance" was the jugo de tamarindo from the fountain. It tasted homemade, not like a mix...I can't confirm or deny if they make it in-house, but it was amazing! read more

Bajas Tex Mex Grill - **CHIMICHANGA (Fried Burrito)** - Tex-Mex Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Bajas is a fast-casual Mexican restaurant that's apparently open til late. My friends and I had a small afternoon snack here and ordered a range of their tacos. The tacos are served in soft shells and come with sour cream, lettuce, cheese, and some guac. I ordered the carnitas and grilled steak tacos. Both met my needs and left me full for hours. read more

When your coworkers are starving and you succumb to peer pressure (and order a meal). They chose Bajas...I was told their rice bowls are really good so I ordered one. I really enjoyed the option of making it My own by picking and chosing the type of beans and ingredients in my bowl. There was alot of rice and black beans and meat (I chose chicken) but the lettuce was very sparce and I think they forgot the lime dressing so it was very dry. Luckily I ordered it with salsa. Could have used some sort of seasoning though, it was pretty bland. The chicken, however, was tender and abundant and the taco bowl was crisp and fresh. My coworkers raved over the quesadillas which looked good, maybe next time I'll try one of those instead. read more

Bajas Tex Mex Grill - Rice bowl - Tex-Mex Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Bajas is so good. You can get potatoes and queso and even plantains. The prices are pretty reasonable unless you start adding a ton of the add-ons in but for the most part it's a good deal. They have a few tables in the front and then a couple in the back so there's plenty of for them to sit down and a drink machine. Everyone there is so nice and I'm sure we'll be back. There are I think two on Thayer Street. We've gone to both locations and both are good. read more

When I'm not in the mood to cook, Baja's is easily my favorite take out Mexican spot in the area. I just ordered some on doordash and was not disappointed. I'd describe it as a great Chipotle alternative....this might be a controversial statement, but I actually prefer Baja's to Chipotle. They have a phenomenal selection of authentic and tasty Mexican cuisine. From quesadillas, to burritos, to rice bowls. Personally, I recommend their nacho bowl. The portion size is very generous and it's reasonably priced. read more

So glad I stopped by this place! I got the bowl and everything tasted so fresh, flavorful, and delicious! I would definitely come back if in the area. The workers were great and the inside of the restaurant is very spacious and clean. I recommend and can't wait to be back. read more

Bajas Tex Mex Grill - ** RICE BOWL** - Tex-Mex Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Best Mexican around... I go to all the locations. Burrito bowls are the best! The staff is always super friendly. Plus the vibes are fun. Love the colors and branding read more

Omg all i can say is yum yum yum . Everything so fresh hard to choose but The nachos with all the meats and nacho fixings can't resist it .

I've made two orders with this location in less than a month and both times they gave me very small amount of protein (steak) . So if you are someone trying to meet your protein goal this is not the location to order from. Very frustrating I have to move around rice to find a piece of steak! read more

I ordered a rice bowl. The order was delivered by DoorDash arrived with wilted lettuce and NO RICE. Very disappointing

Went there late night to pick up an order and was treated horribly. The service was below par, and they were saying nasty things to me in Spanish and thought I couldn't understand. Never again and I will tell 10 people about my experience. Did not take the order. Asked for my money back. read more

I'm a fries girl and the loaded fries are something I could eat every night! They're crispy and fluffy at the same time! The fries definitely were a huge part of the score. The burrito/meat was three stars, but the fries were five: the average four. The service was average; I was a little confused about why my took so long since I watched them make it, then paid for it, but they were waiting for the fries before handing any part of it to me. It's a very tight space, so there may or may not be seating! Fun music and straight to the point cashier. I've been here for 3 weeks, and I ate here on my first week. I'd definitely go back for the loaded fries! read more

So glad I came across this place! I am visiting from Los Angeles and I will say that this place is delicious! Quick tip, if you like your tortilla a little crispy as for it to be extra heated. It comes out very soft, yet still delicious! To each their own :) Overall meat was seasoned very well and they are very generous with their portions! read more

Bajas Tex Mex Grill - **BYO TACOS (3)** Chipotle Chicken and Carne Asada - Tex-Mex Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Love the Taco Shell Salad and the steak and cheese wrap. Tacos and burritos are very good as well. The line moves quickly and wait times are pretty short. Staff is always helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and ordering options read more

Under staffed or incompetence? Unable to get questions answered and make an order over the phone. Interrupted our order to work on other customers repetitively. Forgot we were on the line. When finally realized it, tried to do it again. They need help with customer service. read more

When I laugh at bad Tex Mex, I go bajajajajaja. The food here is more 3 star and it's definitely not Mexican but more American style like an unhealthy Chipotle perhaps if you will. Like Baja Fresh in Cali but slightly more fresh (LOL). The reason I upgrade it from 3 to 4 stars is because there are a couple of tasty things on the menu and I've been here a few times now and it's packed with fun people and college people (mutually exclusive, jk), and it's open till 2 in the morning - I can't really ask for more than that - and I'm talking even on unfashionable weekdays. read more

Came to Providence for the first time and my friend had to take me here! I can say that it did not disappoint. The chicken quesadillas tasted great, however the pico de gallo was on another level!! We also got the chips and salsa and they were also delightful! read more

Bajas Tex Mex Grill - Tex-Mex Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Came here while in town for work. My little cousin goes to URI and suggested we try this place out. It was Taco Tuesday, so I figured why not?! We arrived on Tuesday evening, so the place was packed with college students - no biggie. I look about 19 and fit right in....right. So it's your typical taco spot, you order closest to the door and work your way down until you get to the cashier. They have tacos, burritos, fajitas, whatever you want! They have soooo many toppings. For a rinky dink taqueria, they sure get packed and the customer service is great too! Thank you Novely for showing us such kindness while we were in town! Great service goes a long way. She was super helpful with everything and really made us feel at home since it was my first time there. I got a chicken and shrimp taco. I must've added at least 6-7 toppings on my tacos. They were so large I could barely hold them together to take a bite. So sorry for the people who had negative experiences here. The bad reviews seem to be more based on service than food, which is crazy because I had such a positive experience all around. If you've never been here, don't let the bad reviews deter you. I had a great time and left super stuffed. Oh and I got a side of fries and they were the good, big fries, golden and fresh out of the fryer - just how I like them. The verdict? Soooooo goood, take me back! read more

Vegetable tacos in a hard shell are so good and they aren't stingy with their toppings! The shrimp quesadilla is also tasty and again they are generous with toppings! The chips are good, the only thing negative I can say is that their cheese sauce isn't very flavorful! read more

Bajas at this location has been a favorite of my family as long as we've been in Providence. The food is consistently good and the service and people are great. I recent ordered catered food for my daughter's graduation party and I can't say enough good things about the experience. I had the food delivered and it arrived on time and piping hot. Portions were enormous and fairly priced IMO. They even offered to return with more salsa if we ran out. If you haven't tried it yet, you must!! read more

This is our favorite lunch spot. The food is consistently delicious. My husband loves the steak burrito and I get the steak rice bowl. Even though the steak is a little extra, it's worth it. And I love that guac is not extra unlike in so many other places. You get a ton of food for the price. I usually have enough leftover to use as a lunch or a dinner side. The place is extremely clean and the service is great! read more

Bajas is my favorite Mexican spot in Rhode Island, the foods banging but the fact they're open late is always a plus. Everytime I go I get 3 tacos in different varieties, last night I got 3 soft steak tacos with rice, guac, sour cream, corn salsa & mild sauce with a lime. It's typically busy but the line moves quick, a Rhode Island staple in my opinion read more

The food is fresh, flavorful, and abundant. The Reservoir Avenue location is always clean. The staff are helpful and considerate.

Best tacos I have tried ! And service was good & quick it's a pretty cool place . It was my first time there

Boy did this place fill me up. There was no line in the afternoon on a rainy Saturday as I took a break from work. The servers worked quickly as I ordered some nachos. I had it to go and was only able to eat about half my order because it was humongous. I think this is meant for at least two people to share. The chips are a bit salty so make sure you have some water on hand. I added steak and grilled chicken. The steak was very flavorful and grilled steak was average. You can add as many toppings as you want. Overall, I'll come back for more when I'm getting my nacho crave again! read more

Uber Eats got my food to me in half an hour and it was still delicious and hot!! AND I find that they gave me a lot more of the sides when ordered out This place is always good anyway!

Freshly made favorites, wholesome and inexpensive. Family favorite! Clean digs, friendly staff.

Nom nom nom! People have mentioned this place numerous times to me and I would just say no I haven't been and that's that. Thayer can be a bit chaotic to me ( someone with severe anxiety ). Any-who it's a small hole in the wall on Thayer BUT boyyyy was this hole in the wall YUMMY! They have a variety of stuff , tacos , nachos , taco bowl , nacho bowl , rice , beans , etc etc ! It took me a minute to get my life together , and I finally ordered. I got a nachos with shrimp , chicken , melted cheese , hot sauce , lettuce , tomato , banana pepper and beans. I believe that's it and OMGGGGGGG it was so yummy. 1st and for most it's small as hell in here but they do have tables for 2 or families of 4 but not bigger than that and this place gets packed quick we went around 4pm, and we got the last bigger table. Now back to the food my food proportion was huge they give you soooo much and it's fresh food and scorching hot. They put the meal together right in front of you so no funny business here and the workers aren't rushing you , they answer all your newbie questions. I'm literally salivating right now because I want to go back and have another plate. The shrimp was nice and seasoned and nice sized and they gave me like 30 shrimp no lie and they gave me like 50 pieces of cut up chicken. I was so worried since there was so much condiments on top that there wasn't going to be any meats , that wasn't the case everyone was greatly proportioned. They don't hold back here you get your moneys worth. The prices are also so very reasonable! I think my meal was around 7-8.00 for everything and I got a guava bottled soda drink. This location is smaller , super small! But a few blocks down they have a bigger location, an actual restaurant feel, I've never been clearly but I've heard about it as well. This place is a 5 Plus stars from me! Very very clean and each table has a TV. read more

The best burrito on thayer street. Meat and fillings are delicious and the whole thing is wrapped up perfectly. Always hits the spot

Great spot on Thayer for a quick bite. My favorite is the chimichanga--a true full-sized deep-fried burrito. You have to keep track on your order though as the line gets pretty disorganized and I've had orders get mixed up. read more

Easiest 5 star I've ever given. Cheaper, fresher, and much better than Chipotle. Would eat here everyday if I could.

I was starving and wanted something quick. I decided to keep it simple and got the 3 taco meal. I got 3 hard tacos with seasoned ground beef and all the fixings... They were absolutely delicious! So so good! The meat was so flavorful and all the toppings just made each bite a delight. read more
