I had vegetarian quesadilla, and it was terrible, almost inedible. American cheese, canned mushrooms, white rice that was dry and crunchy, and refried beans from a can with more American cheese on top. Low quality food, not spiced properly, extremely unimpressive. The salsa was good, but the chips were stale. The salad that my friend had was lame: shredded iceberg lettuce with one slice of unripe tomato and a small dollop of guacamole. Don't bother.... read more

New visit. Came for dinner; I love this place. Very quiet. No delay with nachos/salsa, drinks (2ice teas), or ordering. They do not hover but are very attentive. My only complaint, is the Flan. This visit, and the last (a couple days ago), I ended the meal with the Flan. Both times, it was hard, and gritty (with probable sugar bits, but Flan shouldn't be like this. Otherwise, the meal, once again, was flawless. read more

See all

It is a great Mexican restaurant with authentic delicious food. The service was prompt and friendly and we loved the older rustic interior with exposed brick walls. Prices were very reasonable and the free chips and salsa were a nice touch and very tasty. read more

This restaurant is always spot on. Never a bad meal. The whole family enjoys. Food is great. Staff are wonderful. Nice clean interior. Reasonably priced. Try the Enchilada Suprema and Carne Azada. Delicious! read more

This was a great find! Good and service was great! Cute little town too. They can make almost anything on the menu gluten free which was important to us as our son has an allergy. We really enjoyed everything! read more

Went for a drive around the lake and stopped in. The food was amazing. I would recommend this to anyone looking for good simple Mexican food. read more

This place is a little gem. Surprisingly good Mexican food for a small upstate town. The service is always speedy and excellent - despite the fact that there's usually only two servers on the floor at most. Alcohol is a tad pricey but everything else makes up for it. Recommend the pork carnitas or one of the combination entrees. read more

We were in Seneca Falls, in from Syracuse on business, and figured we would drive down the main drag to look for lunch. We decided to eat here because the restaurant was quiet and clean. The chips and salsa were delicious. I ordered the huevos rancheros, which were perfectly cooked and well seasoned. My daughter ordered the chicken, which was smothered in sautéed onions and just the right amount of cream sauce. Two lunches with drinks cost about $21.00, and we could not eat it all. Everything was delicious and the service was quick and friendly. I would definitely eat here again. read more

The salsa, flautas, and rice are fantastic! What a surprising find in upstate New York.

Delicious! Got vegetarian enchiladas off their vegetarian section, and it was filling and cheesy delicious. The service was perfect, too!

LOVE. We live nearby and have been here 7 or 8 times... we've never had a bad dish. We love: THE CEVICHE, the mole, the carnitas, the chimichangas, the enchiladas, the shrimp diabla, the guacamole, the salsa, the pickled onions (on everything!), the margaritas, the service, and -- without a doubt -- the prices. We feel lucky to have such good Mexican food in our little Seneca Falls. If you're passing through and have one meal, El Bajio is as good as it gets. With soda, an appetizer and two entrees, you can leave for around $35 - usually with leftovers. P.S. the other reviews that mention no booze are outdated. Plenty of bar here :) read more

Just went for the first time and I was extremely satisfied. Interior is simple and what you would expect for a new restaurant. I got the pork carnitas which is slow roasted pork and it was one of the best I've had. Everything was very flavorful, even the refried beans which is impressive. Servers were very friendly and attentive. I have been looking for a good restaurant in Seneca falls and I finally can say I've found it! Highly recommend! read more

Meh... chips and salsa was decent. The tacos, not very good. Taco bell shells, bland chicken and steak like kibble. One Margarita and a draft beer was almost 12.00. Not a great meal by any means. read more

Absolutely love the chimichangas. Chicken fajitas are always a great choice as well. Super friendly guys running this place and work hard to provide top notch food! read more

A simple restaurant with unpretentious Mexican food that was fresh and delicious. Service was excellent with unlimited chips and salsa offered. The restaurants decor and signage reminds one of Mexico, in a good way. read more

Excellent food! Service was fast and courteous. Authentic Mexican - fresh fast yummy. I appreciated the fact that I was able to get options that were not spicy. I love Mexican but I'm a wimp. Food was excellent. read more

great authentic mexican! the "special" burrito with the cheese sauce is to die for!!! would definitely return if i was back in the area

Solid 4.5. Vegetarian poblanos huge with delicate egg wash - excellent. Mole rich and gravy like . Good chips, nice service!!!

Stumbled upon this newish addition to Seneca Falls Dining. Food very, very good! Signage outside pretty much non-existant, unfortunately for them, because the menu is awesome and seems very authentic. We had poblanos chiles stuffed with cheese, great beans, warm, fresh chips and good salsa. I would definatelygo there again! read more

Authentic Mexican food! The guys who run this place are hard workers. It is always clean and inviting. Great margaritas! Highly recommend!

Delicous food served by a very enthusiastic and polite staff. The Bajio meals as big enough to order just one for on couple. All in all i will be eating here again in the future read more

Seneca Falls has a secret, amazing authentic Mexican food right downtown. It was impossible to find from the street, it was nearly empty, and the old pizza joint feel left a little to be desired style wise, but the food was amazing. I went a la carte which is a great option to have. Three kinds of enchiladas, carnitas, and the best chile relleno I've ever had. The sauce over all was fresh, light and home made. The salsa was fresh. I wanted more spice in the tamale but the texture was smooth and dense. The test of any Mexican restaurant is the rice and beans which did not disappoint. Cojita cheese on the beans. Service was attentive and quick. I'll definitely be back. read more

Great food..pleasant employees...if you like Mexican food (not Taco Bell) i would recommend El Bajio

A much needed alternative for Mexican food in the area. Very well priced, attentive wait staff and each meal I had was fantastic. I hope more people find this place and it stays for quite a while. read more

We were surprised that upstate NY has solid Mexican food! We ordered Hawaiian fajitas, burritos, Chicken soup, molcajetes and quesadilla and all the food was fantastic. Our server was super friendly and helpful. Must go if you're close by! read more

Ate here on a whim while visiting Seneca Falls for the day. Unassuming storefront location but really excellent food and friendly attentive service. Recommend if you are in the area. read more

Good food recommend eating so food doesn't chill. Good amount of food for the price and great location. Finally a Mexican restaurant in Seneca falls! read more

Not a bad place... authentic Mexican... nope not at all... but that being said not too bad

The best chips and salsa I've ever had. Everything else was great too but the chips and salsa were extraordinary.

My heart goes out to their staff. They had 2 employees who were hosting, waiting tables, tending bar, checking on the kitchen and bussing tables - it was an impossible task. As the line patrons grew in front of the hostess stand I died a little inside when I overheard someone order a margarita as I knew it was yet another task the 2 Renaissance workers would try to juggle. They approached what was a Herculean task with good cheer and I'm hoping that multiple people didn't show up for the dinner shift on 7/10 - otherwise ownership is blowing it. Food was great! Only reason why they don't get the single star. read more

Spence and I hit this place for lunch today. It was great! We tried several dishes including carne asada tacos, carnitas tostados, beef enchiladas, chicken tostadas, a carne asada tostada and rice and beans. It was all Very Good! And, on top of that, they offer Coca Cola products to drink. They don't have a liquor or beer license yet. Another plus is that the excellent waiter who used to work at the mexican restaurant in Geneva's T&C Plaza is now working here. read more

Good Mexican food. Slightly thin chips and Salsa w large onions. A good portion of food for the price.

I love this restaurant. The food is as good as any Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles. Be sure to try the shrimp soup - full of beautiful large shrimp. read more

Bruh , I got the mocahetas omg the shit was bomb , Pablo served that shit up hot and called me amigo!! No joke tho shit was so bomb get the mochaetas best spot in Seneca falls read more

So good! We went for lunch on the busiest day ever - 1/21/17, the Women's March where approximately 10,000 people descended on Seneca Falls. Obviously there was a bit of a wait but, we were amazed how the one busboy and two waiters were able to keep the 20 or so full tables moving. Once seated, they brought chips and salsa & quickly took our drink order. Chips were the homemade hearty style, not too salty, and held the salsa nicely. Salsa was good to please most palates but, I'd prefer it with more of a kick. The menu is large with all the expected dishes and some creative vegetarian options. I had the spinach enchiladas. It came with rice and guac 'salad' - guac on a bed of lettuce, red onions & tomato.The dish was delish and the enchilada sauce was perfect. My companion ordered the vegetarian burritos which were deep fried but, not too heavy or greasy. Hers came with beans, rice & the guac salad. Her only thought was the cheese on top was of a processed variety but, we did not confirm. Prices were reasonable. Looking forward to stopping there again when in the area! Kudos to the staff - hope they are resting their feet today! read more
