First time coming here. My friends and I are doing a roadtrip from NorCal to LA and saw this place go viral. Deff worth it. Line is out the door but you understand why once you eat the meat. Tender, juicy and flavorful. Location is small, so deff a to go place or if you're able to snag a table out side, that would be better option. We were eating and the birria I had gotten was so salty, I couldn't eat it. A team member heard my complaint (I just told my friends it was too salty to eat) and they got me new tacos with a different meat and it was SO good. Friendly, decently clean, and great food. Would come again if I'm ever in the area

Tip: stop in after 12 better around 2 pm to avoid the crowds. Set up is like chipotle for Mexican Cuisine . First decide if you want a burrito or a plate , pick your carbs rice , beans and protein choice of 7 different types of meat options. Next decide on which sides corn, salsa , cucumber, cilantro etc. then choose a sauce , green , red or guacamole . Lastly a choice of salads . They are not stingy here , it's piled on high . The 3 plates I ordered were shared amongst my self and the kids. Its portions were huge and definitely worth sharing. 4 star due to each bite had tough texture of meat . I had to spit out 3x , the meat were so tough I can't chew . My daughter had the same Baqba beef and hers were fine .

Salad. Steak and chicken.

Been loving this place. Always fresh, good selection of food and abundant servings. Service is good and fast.

Bowl

A good way to describe this place is it's like chipotle, but better, authentic, and everything is freshly made. Found out about Baqba from Instagram, as it has gone quite viral. I just had no idea their location was in the Renaissance! Baqba is always packed and it can be difficult to find parking. We got in line which was out the door! It is always busy and everyone is always coming in and out. The line did move quickly. You can see the staff making freshly made tortillas for burritos and cooking in the back. I ordered a bowl with birra, white rice, pinto beans, jalapeños, salsa, sour cream, onion, tomato, and cilantro. Additional meat/toppings cost extra. We were in and out pretty quickly, considering the line. There are a couple of tables inside and out. It was good! I will definitely be back. The hype is worth it.

Wow!! Great food! And you get ALOT! Service was great. No ambiance.. small seating! Great for take out!

Condiment options.

First time here. I went on a Monday around 1230 and this place was BUSY!!! It's a small eatery with a few tables inside and outside. It's very much like chipotle except that the proteins are seasoned to the Gods! And so are their pinto beans!!! I loved all of the condiment options- different from chipotle. I also added a small bag of chips and queso for $5.49 more. Everyone was so nice, since it was my first time they offered multiple samples. if it was closer to Loma Linda i would definitely be back!

Humongous chicken burrito.
Jeanne W.

I was in the area so decided to check this place out. Same concept as Chipotle but heard it was better. There was a line when I went but it moved fast. The huge flour tortillas are made to order and you can watch them cook them fresh. Can't beat a freshly made tortilla for a burrito. I chose chicken for my protein along with toppings of grilled vegetables, brown rice, both pinto and black beans, jalapeños, corn, onion, cilantro, pico and green salsa, and pineapple. It made for a humongous burrito which almost didn't close. The chicken was well seasoned and flavorful. The rest of the toppings were fresh and good tasting. All in all, a very large burrito which is large enough to share or have for several meals. I will probably come back to try the arrachera next time since that appears to be very popular. Service was very fast, friendly, and efficient.

Chicken burrito
Ed L.

This place reminds me of the food trucks from the '90s, and I mean that in the best way. Back when food trucks were packed with Hispanics/Latinos pumping out great food that reminded you of home. This was before certain people in Southern California complained and got the food trucks shut down, only to reopen them a few years later with shitty food and call it "gourmet." The staff is friendly. Honestly, they're all working hard like a well-tuned machine that's churning out amazing food. The place itself is clean, and that freaking matters. I appreciate a clean joint. Now for the food... I ordered a chicken burrito. When I unwrapped that burrito, it was huge and glorious. It was like the first time I saw my Chicana wife's butt, it brought tears to my eyes. It was about one and a half times the size of a Chipotle burrito. The flavor... the flavor was truly amazing. The chicken was well-seasoned and cooked perfectly, with a slight smoky flavor and a light peppery finish. The toppings for the burrito were great too, with plenty to choose from. I also ordered a chicken quesadilla. That bad boy was huge and packed with chicken and veggies. My wife's bowl was loaded with so much chicken that she couldn't finish it. The beans and rice were juicy and flavorful as well. Also, their tortillas are fresh and made right on the spot. Overall, this joint is dope. It reminds me of a '90s Mexican spot. It's packed with friendly staff, and they have BOGO deals before 5 p.m. I'll definitely be coming back. I want Baqba to know they'll be contributing to me becoming diabetic... but it's worth it.

Bowl entree
Suzanne L.

Came in here to try a new place! For it being a basic entry Mexican food takeout, it was actually very tasty. I would only give take away half star for the room inside the store because it's very very small but they do have tables outside to eat. Otherwise they get a complete five. You have many options to choose from - you can order burritos, bowls, tacos, etc. My choice was Carne Asada with whole beans & brown rice and it was actually very good. I added creamy guacamole, pico de gallo, sautéed vegetables, sour cream cheese. They have a variety of fixings to add to the entree choice. It is like an assembly line like Subway... I would recommend trying this place in the Rialto marketplace shopping center. It's right off Renaissance on the southside near Yogurtland.

I pulled up around 11:30 thinking I beat the lunch rush but nah lol , line was out the door. The line moved quick though! I got a burrito with al pastor and a bowl with their baqba steak. The burrito was massive, I have no idea how they managed to roll it up their sauces were good too, red is definitely spicier than the green. Definitely coming back here , just for the portion sizes

Half the burrito so big !!!!
Jessica M.

The food is very Fresh and delicious. I really enjoy coming here. Great customer service all the employees are very helpful and nice even though they are super busy.

Carne asada burrito. It's gigantic !
Nicole D.

This place is busy! Expect a line no matter what time you come here. They give pretty quick service so the line moves at a decent pace. The flavor of their food is great and they give MASSIVE portions. There's very little seating inside but there are a few tables a Ming a wall with some art/slogans on it... they have a couple patio tables on the sidewalk outside their doors.

Steak arrachera bowl
Brian V.

This place first popped up on my radar when it was described as a 'more authentic' version of popular chain where you get to order Mexican food in a conveyer, fast casual type of way. And for the record, I am a fan of the referenced chain, but I am also a fan of authenticity, so I knew I had to come here at some point. I stopped by off the freeway while returning from a trip up to Big Bear and this place is conveniently located not too far away from the exit. As soon as I walked up, it definitely had the same vibe and feeling where you get in line and you wait to order your main and which form you want it in. The service here is very friendly. I thought I'd beat the dinner crowd by a little bit, but it was already pretty packed. I ordered the Steak Arrachera in the form of a bowl. I added my usual toppings that I do at the other place so it's pretty similar. I do have to say the steak was delicious. If anything, the food is little more well seasoned here. I'm a fan! It's also very reasonably priced compared to other similar places these days There's plenty of parking in the lot, but this place is pretty high traffic with the amount of retail stores and other restaurants in the area

I love finding a legit mom-and-pop spot, and this family-owned Mayan & Yucatecan restaurant did NOT…read moredisappoint. Nothing fancy--and honestly, that's the charm. Just friendly service and seriously good, freshly made food. I ordered a combo to try a few things outside my usual comfort zone: panucho, salbute, and their style of empanada. Everything was delicious, and even my to-go order was plated beautifully. The chicken was juicy and packed with flavor, but that hot sauce? BABY, I was not prepared. Consider yourself warned! Love supporting a local family-owned gem like this. I'll be back in no time!

Long review but I think it's important to say what needs to be said:…read more THE SHORT VERSION; First time visiting this place since reviews were generally good and it's truly something special to see a restaurant specializing in Yucatecan food only. The food was different than your standard Mexican offering and overall very good, good seasoning and portions. Pricing was not out of what would be expected for quality Mexican food. The service, unfortunately, was half baked, which is really sad for me to see as a staunch supporter of local, immigrant owned businesses and being a child of immigrants myself and knowing how much hard work is involved in maintaining a business alive. THE LONGER VERSION; It was apparent that the waitress that served us during our visit could not only benefit from more training in offering (and caring to offer) a better customer service experience / better table side communication but also needs to make the connection about how her actions affect the livelihood of a business that others have undoubtedly worked very hard for. But, I guess this assumes she wants to genuinely work there. To begin with, my party was greeted by a poorly delivered and off putting joke about making sure she served us lots of alcohol; delivered in a way that in Spanish is known as "ser llevado" or overly familiar. Odd to make jokes like that when you just met someone visiting your business for the first time, but we passed it off as just a poor attempt to connect. Fine, we moved on. The music was extremely loud. When we asked if it could be lowered somewhat, she lowered the volume from an 11 to a 2, which then made the ask not only awkward but almost passive aggressive. (I only say this because once we left, we heard the volume quickly go back to 11, as if they were just waiting for us to leave to crank the volume back up again). The waitress did explain the dishes well, letting us know what the unique ones were. However, in the middle of our conversation a guy walked through the door and it was obvious that there's a connection between them because she then got more impatient explaining things to us as said guy moved to sit at a table towards the back of the restaurant. We completed our order, she served us and then kind of disappeared to wait on the other table, we thought. When she did happen to pass by our table again, I politely asked for additional plates and silverware, when she had a chance, to which she replied that I could pick them up myself from near the register area. Her response seemed out place since we were dining in and we were under the impression that she was our waitress, so I asked her again for silverware, not plastic utensils. Again, she told me that I could pick up plastic utensils myself from the register, pointing, "see they're right there" and walked away to the kitchen. We were still processing the exchange, a bit in disbelief, when she then appeared with requested silverware and additional plates but visibly annoyed and in some kind of hurry. It was really hard to focus on enjoying our meal after that. The waitress then made her way to the back table to sit next to, one could now only presume was her boyfriend, and we never saw her again. She never checked on us, asked if we needed anything, etc. Her priority was staying seated and chatting it up with that guy. Who did come to check on us was the owner, who seems to have cooked the meals and walked out of the kitchen to speak with us. He asked if we had enjoyed the food, if it was our first time there, talked about how he sourced his ingredients, shared some of the restaurant's history. Then he walked away to continue working. Unfortunately, we were forced to engage again with the waitress (who remained seated at the back table) and had to ask her across the restaurant where we should pay. Before she answered from her chair (didn't even get up to speak with us and was getting ready to yell back at us from her seat) the owner appeared at the register and told us we could pay with him. Unfortunately, the whole service experience did negatively color our desire to return to this place again. Giving more like 3.5 stars because the food was good but not enough to overlook the unpleasant service.

Caldo De res & Menudo in 104° weather ? Why not , I love soup in any type of weather . My go to now for Menudo , sadly it's only offered on weekends and when it sells out that's it. Caldo de res & Menudo were equally well seasoned , they were not skimping on the meat , it was big chunks of beef and lots of tripe . $2 extra to add pata .

Still very casual and simple--not really an IG-worthy kind of place. Service was okay, but nothing particularly memorable. The chips & salsa were a solid 4/5--thin, crispy chips and a slightly smoky salsa with a nice kick. Beans were thick and creamy (4/5), rice was basic/ traditional (3.5/5). The chile relleno was a 2.5/5 for me. I love this dish, but they use panela cheese, which didn't have much flavor and didn't get that melty, gooey texture I prefer. The chicken enchilada with green sauce was definitely the winner--5/5! That sauce was SO flavorful and easily my favorite part of the meal. The pineapple agua fresca was also refreshing. Overall, 3.5/5. Not my favorite atmosphere or chile relleno, but I loved the enchilada and it's always nice finding a local spot to support.

I've never spent any time in Fontana so this was a first experience here. Had to pick something up…read morewhich lead us to here. Rush hour is still no joke trying to get anywhere these days. Trying to find a place along the strip was pretty hard. We asked someone where to go for food and they even mentioned for us to go to Rancho if we wanted something fancy. But with traffic and going the opposite direction, that made the decision to stay. Let me say, Fontana does have a lot of Mexican restaurants to choose from. Good in a sense but bad as you don't know which one is good. We originally stopped off at a place that was recommended but from the look out front, they were renovating while the place was still open. It just didn't looked welcoming. It could have but first impression wasn't there. Hence we ended up here which was literally a minute or so from it. Theres a massive parking lot for the restaurant. As we were walking in, they do have a pretty big patio area that looks out to the lot. There's also a section that inside. We didn't know that you would have to order at the counter and the seat yourself. Found that out later. The inside section was smaller but it's where you would go if you wanted the ac. It was hot but bearable so we were ok with sitting outside. Menu, a bit of everything. Downfall, we did asked if they had happy hour as that what we were looking for but they didn't. The cashier didn't really understand what we meant but said they had it on Tuesday which was odd for one day. She probably meant taco Tuesday specials. Oh, they don't serve alcohol so there goes happy hour...lol... Food, we got an order of the enchiladas plate which came with beans and rice for a really affordable price. It was pretty filling and quite nice. I was craving ceviche but they didn't really have it but did have tostada with shrimp cocktail. It was decent but too sweet for me. That wasn't too filling so ordered some of the street tacos. They're quite small so a few were ordered. The Al pastor tends to be my go too but these were a little on the overcooked and dry side. The birria was quite nice and juicy. And lastly the carnitas, it was good and cooked well but overall the birria was the winner. Food was good so that was nice. Just didn't like the ordering first and seating yourself. They also had a salsa bar with 4 choices to choose from as well as hot beans where you can serve yourself. That's a first with the beans for me as I've never been to a place where you can serve yourself beans. Plus chips are an additional fee. Overall, the place was nice. Tacos and enchiladas were great.

Great spot with fast service, nice outdoor seating, and amazing food!…read more Got ourselves the quesa birria and vanilla churros, and it was great. Definitely will be going back for lunch and dinner
