Had the Baja fish tacos from the food truck. While they were definitely tasty, I felt like they were something I could easily make at home. Also, $14 seemed a bit pricey for just two tacos. read more

Bay Vista Taqueria - Fish taco - Mexican Near Me - Webster, New York

I was very impressed that Rochester had good tacos! First off, the salsas were AMAZING and so flavorful. I really enjoyed the spicy ones! If they ever sell the salsa by the jar, I'd 100% buy some! We got a fish taco and a surf and turf burrito. The shrimp in the burrito were well seasoned and well-sized! Overall, I was very impressed by the flavors in the burrito. The fish taco was also well fried, nice and crispy! The cabbage on top and sauce were a nice touch on top too! I'll definitely come back the next time I'm in town! read more

This review is for their food truck - the tacos were tasty ... I tried a fish and a chicken BLT... both were very flavorful.. soft corn taco shell Itself was nothing special - grocery store level and didn't taste like it had been warmed in the griddle ... the prices of fish was crispy and crunchy but small for $7... , the BKT chicken taco was $6- $13 for two tacos is pricey in my opinion ... Also- no drinks were available read more

I was sad after Gyromania left, but I am so happy Bay Vista Taqueria moved in. I've been here so many times that I have lost count at this point. Right when you enter, there is a giant blown up menu is on the wall along with the special of the day. You can order right there and there's fresh salsa on the side: mild, medium, and hot. You get chips with every order and sometimes they can be quite salty. There are about 6 small tables to eat it. My favorite item on the menu is the So-Cal Burrito; "sauteed chile/cilantro/lime marinated angus steak, shoestring french fries, cheddar-jack cheese, salsa fresca, fresh guacamole, and ancho-chile remoulade". The combination of everything in the burrito is just mouth watering. It is a very large burrito at $11.95. My husband and I always get this time and time again. I've called in orders before and had my husband pick them up on the way home from work. One I called my order in to eat there since it does take a little bit of time to prepare, they forgot one of my burritos but was nice enough to give me a discount for the trouble. I will definitely be back here. I love the food here. read more

Last night, the Bay Vista Taqueria food truck posted up in my neighborhood. The tacos were delicious, but a bit pricey. 2 tacos for $12-$14. But, they were not skimpy on the meat or toppings!! I got 2 chicken tacos and they were very flavorful. Staff were very friendly and quick with orders. I would order from their food truck again! read more

Bay Vista Taqueria - two tacos in a styrofoam container - Mexican Near Me - Webster, New York

FYI to all vegetarians. I hadn't been here for awhile, and I called to place an order yesterday. I ordered a tofu burrito, and she told me they put chicken stock in their rice!!! I appreciate her telling me, however, I'll never eat here again now. Why offer tofu on your menu and put chicken stock in your rice?? Makes no sense. read more

Very good Mexican that was freshly prepared and filing. Went with the carne molida and asada tacos. Both were served on double corn tortillas topped with pickled onions and queso fresco. The meat was tender, very flavorful and delicious. I also enjoyed the house-made habanero sauce that was available to add to your tacos. Side of refried beans were good and had plenty of flavor. Service was friendly and prices were very good. read more

I've had this restaurant on my list for quite some time. After reading numerous Yelp reviews I knew I had to give it a try, but unfortunately the food did not meet my expectations today. My friend and I arrived a few minutes after they opened for the day. The service was great and I love a good family owned local business. The owner(I'm assuming) was very nice and he was out wiping down tables and chatting with the customers. I will start with the chips and salsa. I LOVE that they provide a free basket of chips with your order and a nice selection of salsa and sauces to choose from. I love some good chips and salsa! The chips were good but I would've liked them a little warmer and a little less salty (some chips were just covered in salt). The salsa roja was soooo yummy that I could just eat a whole bowl of it! I think that will just be my go-to next time. The salsa verde was very watery and had a strange taste to it... almost too sour maybe? I'm usually a big fan of salsa verde, but this one not so much on the chips(I did put it on my Hawaiian taco which actually enhanced the flavor). Then there were two sauces in squeeze bottles that were thicker and they were both packed with flavor! I ordered a Hawaiian fish taco and a Baja fish taco. The Hawaiian fish taco had a delicious mango salsa on it, but I feel like the overall taco was missing a little flavor to it. Maybe it was the 2 corn tortillas that it was wrapped in so it was a lot of tortilla. The Baja fish taco was ok, but the slaw that it came with was full of so much mayo and it made the crispy fish soggy on one side. Overall, the food this visit was just ok but I WILL be returning to try some of their other menu items and hopefully update my review. read more

I used Bay Vista for a fiesta bridal shower I was throwing for my daughter. I walked into the restaurant without an appointment and had planned on speaking with a few different restaurants to compare prices. When I spoke with the owner I immediately felt that I was at the right place and in the right hands to get the job done perfectly. I booked him right away. Not a single moment of regret! As the event drew closer, Dave called me to verify details. On the day of the event his staff showed up on time and quickly got things set up. The food was fabulous. Everyone loved it. The serving staff were professional and friendly. At the end of the meal they even helped clear plates from the tables. I would highly recommend Bay Vista for anyone who desires the best taco bar in town for their fiesta, Cinco de Mayo, or whatever other event you have. This place is great! read more

I read mixed reviews about this place so I needed to try it for myself. My sister has been going there quite often and she told me it was simply fabulous. All in all, this is a good place and I would go back no doubt m! Me being from Tampa Bay, I was a little skeptical because, let's face it, we have amazing Mexican, Cuban and Spanish food down there. But this place turned out being really tasty. I was surprised at the quality and pretty presentation of the meal. It didn't have quite the feeling of the places I eat at in Tampa but that may be due to a variety of reasons. Usually in Tampa the places have those distinctive smells and sounds and people working there. It feels a little bit more authentic. However this place still can put together a mean taco. This restaurant is located in Webster. It is pretty unassuming from the outside. When you walk in you get greeted quite nicely! You can tell the people like being there and it really has a family feel. They have a nice dining area and also little toy dinosaurs on the fireplace mantle which they encourage children to play with or to take one. I ordered the Hawaiian fish tacos. They have two types of fish tacos one fried and one grilled. I opted for the grilled one. I also ordered a traditional taco with carne asada. My mother ordered the nachos. They have this green salsa there that's really to die for. I think it's the best thing I tasted there. The tacos taste really good when you place the green sauce on them. They also give you complementary chips and limes. You could also grab more salsa at the salsa bar. My Hawaiian fish taco was really good but I felt the need to put more salt on it as I usually do. Once I put the green salsa on it, it really improved the taste. I would suggest making it a bit more juicy if possible. I liked the pieces of mango. The Carne asada taco is usually my favorite type of taco. However in this case I felt like the cheese didn't complement the meat. I don't like the type of cheese that was used in this taco. I prefer no cheese to be honest with you. I don't think it is needed! To make this better I would make the meat a little bit juicier. Also when someone orders the traditional taco I would make sure you put more pickled items on it. I would even double the amount of pickled toppings you put on there. It may need a little bit more spice too. Admittedly there was a section for hot salsa and I did not try it. Upon reflection I should have. I felt like the nachos were good but again the cheese was strong for me. I don't know what type of cheese is used but wasn't my favorite. I did have a couple bites of it and I can see how I would just keep eating and eating them. Nachos are dangerous! So even though the cheese was a bit strong for me I would probably order and eat these in the future! We tried the coleslaw too. I felt it was good but it wasn't overly flavorful. Another suggestion I have is to put the green salsa and the other salsa in plastic squirt bottles right on the table so people don't have to keep getting up to get more salsa. You may want to warm the chips as well. It may add a nice smell to the place too. I wanted to give some helpful suggestions to the owner. I met him and he seems like a great guy. I also met his wife who was working there that day. All in all a great place and I'm proud that this place is in Rochester. Keep up the great work! read more

Always happy to see new Mexican joints in town! Really good food. I had the carnitas burrito and a side of rice and beans. You get free chips with every order and their home made red and green sauce in the squeeze containers (not the salsa) are even better than John's in my opinion. They have Tapatio at all the tables which is a huge plus considering it is the best hot sauce ever made. They take credit cards too which is nice. The only negatives I have about the place is that the burritos are a bit small (see picture). I know authentic Mexican burritos are not very large, but these are not authentic Mexican burritos, they are the the American version of burritos, so they should be gigantic. The seating area is limited and very noisy inside but that's not a huge deal. Also the parking lot is pretty small so if you show up during a rush you might have to find someplace else to park. Other than that, great stuff and I will definitely be back! read more

When I walked in to the taco place . I was looking for Real Mexican Taqueria. Unfortunately The flavors were bland . I really want this place to be a success but they need to work a little harder on the flavors. I enjoyed their salsa it was very fresh and had great flavors I like the fact that the tortilla was corn. They also make their own hot sauce that was pretty good it could be a little bit hotter but that's just me. I will come back and hoping that they take it up a notch.also I think he could be a little bit more generous with the rice and beans, the rice was really nice and flaky but the beans didn't have enough taste.I plan on trying to squeeze one more time hoping to find that flavor that I love. read more

This place was sooooo tasty! The menu is simple but still has awesome options. This was our first time so we both just got tacos, but we will be back - definitely! The tacos we had were so delicious and authentic, I can only imagine what the rest of the menu tastes like. Next time we'll definitely try a salad and the fish tacos! Best part is, everything is local and fresh and EXTREMELY reasonably priced. Be sure to get some of the red salsa/sauce in the squeeze bottle! read more

We've been excited about trying Bay Vista Taqueria since it opened and finally got the opportunity this evening! We weren't disappointed! The woman taking our order and serving us was very personable. She waited patiently for my 5 year old and 9 year old to order their food themselves. I never caught her name, but she made our visit so enjoyable. My hubby and I each got a combo, allowing us to sample the four house special tacos. We were both impressed with the freshness and flavor of the Hawaiian Fish Taco and the Baja Fish Taco. My boys were pleased with their orders as well, and of course loved the chips and salsa. I'd definitely recommend Bay Vista Taqueria and look forward to sampling some of their other dishes. Update: 4/24/18 This was my third visit and the new taco offerings knocked it out of the park. The flavors for the Hawaiian Fish taco was on point, and my husband has declared that Grace's Mango-Poblano Chicken taco might be his new favorite. Keep up the great work! read more

Got 3 tacos on a Saturday afternoon. Fresh EVERYTHING including salsas and sauces. A more authentic and better version of Moe's, and it's a local business rather than a chain. Chatted with the owner. Would definitely return. Side note - I know this isn't related to the food but I liked that when I ate in the dining area the food was served on paper rather than whole disposable plates like at Chipotle - less waste. read more

Bay Vista Taqueria - Sauces and salsa - Mexican Near Me - Webster, New York

Called in a pick up order, the man on the phone was helpful and polite. When I got there, my food wad just coming out, lucky me! The counter staff was friendly when cashing me out. Every order comes with tortilla chips but... no salsa? I didn't realize that until I got home. I don't do dry chips, so I didn't really eat them. Tacos come traditional style or American style. I got the traditional shrimp tacos, they were very good and 2 filled me up. Not sure if it was worth 9$ for this.... maybe if the chips came with salsa. read more

As we continue touring all the local fare it seems fairly obvious that the one cuisine I would not be able to cope without has to be Mexican. The SoCal burrito was outstanding. It's not the biggest but dat boi has some girth to it. Gotta get the guac and chips because that tastes like the feeling of leaving your house during lockdown. Im gonna gain like 40 lbs by the end of this thing but that will be turned into muscle after a few 30 minute power walks on a treadmill. read more

We ordered food to go here yesterday and it was delicious. I got the Flying Fish Burrito which was packed with flavor and super filling. It comes with homemade chips and you can choose from an assortment of salsas. The guy working at the counter was super friendly and the food was ready pretty quickly. I would definitely go back! read more

BVT's super taco, CCB burrito bowl, and the guacamole was great. Hot food and the packaging was almost all green. We want to keep this business in the neighborhood. Excellent service, timing, and packaging. read more

$38 for one taco and one burrito and one Corona seems like highway robbery. I could have accepted it if the food knocked my socks off, but instead it just kind of made them pull half way off my feet. The taco was a chicken BLT, so not much for expense in that little pocket. And the burrito was a $12 mess of a meager 3 shrimp and a massive amount beans. At 2 am on a Friday night, I might hit up the food truck, but at 2 am on a Friday night, chances are I might already be making bad decisions.... read more

Great and reasonably priced. Homemade guacamole and salsas. They use corn tortillas. I had 2 of the specialty fish tacos. One was shrimp with mango, chili, cilantro and the other was cod with slaw, avocado, etc-- both were excellent. But what was even better was the black beans and rice. Extremely tasty. Great place to grab a quick, tasty, inexpensive lunch. Beats all those horrible fast food Mexican places like Moes! My only complaint is they are closed on Sundays. read more

We order food from Bay Vista Taqueria every other few weeks and are always impressed! We have tried quite a few different things but, their fish tacos and shrimp burritos are by far some of the best that I've had in Rochester, NY. Definitely try this place if you haven't before or if you're in the mood for some tacos. read more

Craving Mexican? A little Baha maybe? I have tried everything once (ok maybe more than once) on the menu and this place nails it every time. A little pricey you say? Well folks, this is the real deal. Fresh ain't cheap and cheap ain't fresh. Sooo why are you still reading this? Go! Now! read more

For tacos in mid December this place really impresses. I was on the way to chipotle when I flipped open yelp hoping to find a gem. I found the menu to have plenty of options rather than just a generic assortment of tacos. I love Baja fish tacos and I was not disappointed. I also had the mahi mahi taco with mango salsa that was incredible. The salsa was just perfect for me, I'm low on the spicy threshold and this taco had such a good blackened fish flavor with the mango salsa cutting through. The carne Asada Americana was equally impressive. Generous amount of protein and the Americana dressing fits it great. I also tried the camarones shrimp taco and was happy with it but it didn't really jump out to me in flavor as the others did. Maybe a bit of a marinade or blackening would help with the overall flavor. All in all this was a very pleasant surprise. read more

This is by far the worst restaurant in greater Rochester NY, it beats them all and here's my story. Dined here at 7pm on a Thursday night, after I placed my order at 7:10p, the overweight woman behind the counter had looked at the clock and exclaimed "we're only open until 8", I knew I was in for a bad night. To start the tacos here are outrageously priced, yes, even more than southern California. Secondly, they suck. As previous Yelpers have said, bland and bland and bland. No taste on any of the tacos I ordered. The fish taco was among the worst, a dump size, long john silver fish piece with (nothing) in the taco. Horrible. We were the only ones in this dump and were given take out containers instead of plates?!? Worse, when my date and I were finishing our meal at 7:50 ( we got our food at 7:40) the same woman was harrasing us telling us "ok, finish up, we close soon" This place is an absolute joke. I will celebrate like I won a million dollars when they go under. If you wrote this place 3 or more stars, you've never seen the sun and have been living in Rochester, far too long. read more

First visit to this small neighborhood taqueria. We were welcomed by a young woman who explained the varied available options. They offer salads, tacos, burritos and more of Mexican fare. It is self serve with ordering at the counter and when order is ready it is brought to your table. Self serve is for disposable utensils, napkins and a variety of salsas and house made hot sauces. Our order included a basket of tortilla chips and with free refills. I ordered a shrimp taco and a mahi mahi taco. My husband ordered a steak and chicken tacos. All were yummy but we liked my mahi taco the best! It was prepared on corn tortillas with fresh corn, cilantro and mango. Really good!! Prices are reasonable and a good value for a fast and pleasant meal. Next time we may opt for take out as there is limited seating. They mentioned they're shooting for an outdoor seating and deck area this summer. Hopefully a beer and wine license will be in place by then as well. In the mean time you can bring in your own beer or wine. read more

Fantastic tacos! Came to Rochester while visiting my sister in law and had a hard time finding a good Mexican restaurant in the area.

Also, the staff is wonderful, helpful, and friendly. read more

I had high hopes for this place. Several people told me the food was great. I should know better than to have expectations before entering a restaurant. We went on a cold Tuesday evening thinking it would not be very busy on a weeknight. The gentleman at the counter was very nice but ill equipped to handle the line. Mind you it was a line of only 3 or 4 people. Perhaps they need to streamline the ordering process. They seemed short staffed. We finally put our order in and sat down to wait for our food. 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes go by. We've devoured all the chips and salsa, finished our drinks, the guy at the counter finally comes and offers free drinks for the long wait. This was a nice gesture but too little too late. Our food finally arrives and i am expecting fabulously flavored tacos. Not so much. I ordered a variety, chicken, beef, and fish. The only one i felt was decent was the fish. Their sauces were flavorless. Disappointment. I'm hoping they were just having a bad night but i probably won't be back. read more

Had lunch there for the first time over the weekend and it was great. I had the traditional carnitas, the baha fish and the shrimp tacos. The baha fish was my favorite out of all of them. Meals come with complimentary chips and salsa too! read more

Went recently for a 5pm dinner before a movie at the nearby AMC theater. They have a few parking spots out front and a large gravel lot out back. The dining area is small but very bright and open. Ordered 3 soft shell tacos with flour tortillas. Went traditional style with Carne Asada, Carnitas & Pollo for the fillings. Started with their chips and salsas, both red and green. Chips were good, crisp and not over salted. Salsas were both very tasty. The tacos were just OK. They came with rice and beans which were also just OK. I don't live in the area so I probably won't go back, but I hope locals find it enjoyable and support the place. read more

At first I was torn about this place. The location is awkward to get in, and it took the place of one of my favorite Greek Places in Rochester. Then it it turned out to be a taqueria, but so close to a Qdoba?! I was concerned about their viability considering the access to the place coming from Empire (it's an awkward left turn, next to a traffic light) But since I was coming down from 104, it was easy access for me and decided it was time to give them a try. The fact that my friend told me that they had mahi mahi sealed the deal for me. The have tacos, burritos and quesadillas, served with salsa and sour cream (for the quesadillas at least) I ordered the quesadilla with poblanos and mahi mahi, and frankly I wasn't terribly impressed. It lacked something. The salsa was tasteless also. The fact that the food didn't agree with me sealed the deal. Sorry but I am not going back. read more

Bay Vista Taqueria - Mexican Near Me - Webster, New York

I've been there twice and must say that so far it's the best Taqueria food in the Rochester area. Stop wasting your money at chains like Chipotle, which in my opinion is just crap quality and flavour. The food quality here at Bay Vista Taqueria is quite good and the staff and owner are nice. I would like to see prawns/shrimp available without being marinated already. Just not a fan of cilantro. The only problem I have with this place is that they use styrofoam for take outs. I know the East Coast is a long way behind the times in a lot of things, but for Earth's sake, stop using styrofoam. I will be glad to add a star if they forgo the styrofoam and opt for a more biodegradable option. The other great thing about this place is that it's very close to our house, so it's a nice option for a quick take-out order when we don't want to cook. read more

Unfortunately this place missed on so many levels. First, and worst, there was a 50 minute wait for my order, and that was after a 15 minute wait in line. For TACOS?!?!? I have no problem waiting in line, there were a lot of people. But that long for tacos? Unacceptable. I have been to numerous taquerias around the country, and never had to wait more than 10-15 minutes. I understand this is fresh food, but a taqueria is also supposed to be fast food. But really? 50 minutes for tacos? While I was waiting for my order, they announced the wait time to people, which is nice, but at least 10-12 groups left also saying it is insane waiting that long for tacos. A lot of money walking out the door. For the food it was average, at best. Ordered 5 different tacos and a burrito to split with my wife and kid. After a 50 minute wait(!), one taco didnt even make in into our bag, Our burrito was unrolled and fell apart. The Baja fish taco had one piece of fish on it. And the flavors were quite bland overall. I am actually quite sorry to write this review. I was so excited about this place, and even wished them good luck when I ordered. It is impossible to find a proper taqueria in Rochester, I was hoping this would be it. The menu was authentic and promising. This was just a huge disappointment overall. I am not sure a place which is supposed to serve "fast food" can survive with 45-50 minute wait times for food. Ugh, too bad. read more

M husband and I and my daughter visited here when we were going to some music venue in Webster. I was really excited and the menu looked great. First of all, chips were dry and cold, maybe just not my style. I ordered a Baja taco and the chicken fresca taco. My daughter ordered a mini quesadilla with a side order of refried beans and rice and I'm not sure what my husband ordered. I thought the Baja taco was good oh, but the chicken fresco taco lacked flavor. It was very dry and the refried beans were so salty that I could not eat them. My husband said his was okay and my daughter's quesadilla was kind of dry. Overall, it was okay and I have to say the service was stellar. The guy that was running the front all by himself was more than polite. The place was clean, including the bathrooms. read more

I so wanted to love this place. As someone from South Texas I LOVE and miss authentic Mexican food. I was hoping this place could come close to a taste of home, but I was disappointed. I had one pollo and one carne asada traditional taco with rice and beans. The size of the tacos was perfect and I actually couldn't finish eating the entire lunch plate. Great job there. The disappointment came from the lack of flavor in the meats and the salsa. If the meats had more seasoning and the salsa had any heat, I would have given this place an additional star. The traditional tacos come on corn tortillas with cilantro, cheese, and pickled red onions. The onions were great! They have four sauces/salsas to try on the counter. The red salsa had the best flavor by far, but it was not at all spicy. The green salsa was too acidic. The two creamy sauces were interesting, but not for me. Although I didn't have them, the do have flour tortillas. I asked and learned they do not make their own. Bummer, because if they did it'd make up for some flavor. Big plus for free chips though! I hope this place does well. I'll probably try it again in a couple of months. It's not the best Mexican food, but definitely not the worst I've ever had. Like I said, I'm from South Texas so I have high standards for my tacos. Up that seasoning and I'll try again! read more

A great addition to the Webster food scene. We tried a variety of tacos, quesadillas, and burritos. The tacos were packed full of flavor with each bite better than the last. Our favorite meat was the carne asada - it melted in your mouth delicious. Also got a chicken quesadilla with jalapeños - fantastic! Just the right amount of jalapeño for a nice kick in every bite. The shredded chicken was juicy, delicious, and makes me want more! We usually call ahead with our order and the people answering the phone are always pleasant and nice to talk you. Small place, but great for takeout. Hopefully they start to offer delivery! read more
