Found this spot by just driving around during my lunch break and it's an absolute GEM!!!! I first had the shrimp taco yesterday and it was so next level delish, I craved it the rest of the day yesterday that I WENT BACK AGAIN TODAY!!! Seriously dreamt about it. Today I added the Baja style, protein style fish and honestly this may be have just turned into a serious addiction now. Walking in this place is so clean and organized, the staff is extremely friendly (front and back of house). From ordering to receiving order all was smooth, quick, and just right. I'm new in the area, so I'm so excited that there's a place like this that I can grab lunch and go. Going to start making off items one by one on their menu, so far they are 2 for 2 and I'm in love read more

Food is consistently tasty but portions are not. A little pricey for what you get especially the fish taco, you guys need to up the portion of fish because the filet is very small and the fish taco toppings overpower the whole taco read more

Food is really good for a fast food place. They have exceptional service as well. I love this place! Times that I've been here the tables have been clean and clear. This is a for sure a regular for us now. read more

Not sure if this location is affiliated with the La Bufadora in El Monte that I've been to but they make a mean fried fish taco like the ones made famous in Ensenada Mexico (and I've eaten many in Ensenada). It's interesting that they give salsas in presealed bags but that is for sure the cleanest way. Just haven't seen this done with REAL salsa. Both work with the fish tacos and I'd say they are medium heat. Check out my pics. read more

Not a bad place to grab some lunch for work or just for some Mexican food. Came here since my coworkers wanted to come here. It was my first time and I was told about their combo specials. I ended up getting the crispy potato tacos, a drink, and a side of fries to share. Everything was about $10 which is good price for a quick lunch these days! My potato tacos were decent and very fulfilling. Fries were piping hot and decent too. Place was pretty spacious and clean. I would give this a 4 stars based on my first experience but I won't be craving for it so much so I am not sure how often I will stop by. read more

Their breaded shrimp taco and the yellow chile was so yummy. Three tacos felt like the perfect amount. Their green salsa reminded me of king taco salsa. 10/10 read more

I came back and the portions were much better, quality is still amazing. My girl was fully satisfied with the potato tacos. Thank you. The service was exceptional and the vibes were good. read more

Great service. The food taste amazing. I had asada quesadillas. Going to go back for more soon. The also have a good taco Tuesday with a 1.50$ price for street tacos. read more

Best burrito in a long time. They have shrimp or fish...I think that's the Ensenada vibe. But they also have surf and turf which is shrimp and asada. It's jam packed full of that, with some rice and beans. Unlike larger burritos which have lots of rice and beans. The pepper was hot, the salsa was not. It was all fresh, with the salsa was vacuum sealed. A bit of a waste of packing. read more

Disappointment all around. Never again will I come here. I entered this place with my service dog and my man, as I'm ordering the employee tells me "if you want to eat here you can't be here with the dog you have to eat outside, or you can only do takeout" I was very upset but respectful and told him sure. Then my man proceeded to order his food and asks if he can get a beer. The girl employee asks him "you're dining in right? You can't leave with the beer" so we responded "well since we can't eat inside with my SERVICE DOG, how can we get a beer?" Then my man asks "can we take a table outside to eat?" They say no. So why even ask if we are dining in? Also I ask what does the burrito have? They said guac cheese and sour cream. I said no cheese and they gave me and my man a plain burrito. What a terrible experience. My food was wrong and plain, Nasty and cold. The service was SHYT! they rejected my service animal. I would give this place zero stars!!!!! read more

This place has pretty good food. There are a lot of times I that I have tried other Mexican food restaurants around the area, but I always feel guilty eating them. I can say that I don't feel that way here. I placed an order on their website (not grub hub) and it was quite easy to select what I wanted, and you even have the ability to choose when you want to pick up your food. I can say that even though I scheduled my food to be picked up 2 hours later, it was freshly made, timed for my pickup. The person that helped me get my food was nice. Food The food like I mentioned did not feel real greasy, and was packed with flavor. One of the things I like most about this place is their peppers that comes with certain food that you order, they are so good. I would recommend all the food that I ordered here. Al Pastor Street Taco Fish Taco (breaded) Carne Asada Nachos Regular The tacos were huge, and was packed. They also come with two different salsas that was great with the food. The Nachos was not the ones with the cheesy cheese liquid, but was topped with lettuce beans cheese, and was really good! I'm glad I gave this place a try again, when I first came by when they just opened, I did not know what to order. I found out that this is a chain, and this particular location has plenty of seating inside. Keep in mind that they have certain specials everyday, I like to take advantage of those and give new things a try. Until next then! read more

Great potato tacos and chicken taquitos Staff is nice. We stopped by randomly to grab a quick bite. We were pleasantly impressed. Will definitely come back to try the other items. read more

We ordered through door dash. Horchata was good but their asada burrito and fish torta left us feeling like we won't come back again. They do pack the salsa in a sealed bag so it doesn't spill. The lady who called me to confirm the type of fish was very pleasant. All in all, lacking in that yummm feeling when eating. read more

The food is great. Menudo is my favorite. The staff is always friendly I recommend this place. Try the potato tacos

I've been meaning to try this place after craving some potato taco ($2.50) and fish tacos ($3.50) after work. The potato taco was filling with plenty of sliced cabbages, chopped tomatoes, and cotija cheese. The fish taco came with sliced cabbages and tomatoes. The staff is nice. Plenty of seating. read more

Fish taco Wednesdays!!! Yess!! In the area running errands. I am still on my venture for good fish tacos. La Bufadora came up and I was in luck! They don't have their combo weekday meals, it's all a la cart now but still a good deal! They do Wednesday fish tacos! The service was friendly and quick. The tacos were so good! There was a family in front of my table and the teenager was dancing in the midst of her meal. That has to count to something, right? Fresh veggies, pico de gallo, cabbage, their house sauce and crispy thick pieces of fish! The roasted pepper served with the tacos were amazing! I loved their salsa, they packaged it individually but wish it was spicer, well I should have just asked. But everything was so good! New plaza and this place is definitely a place you want to put on the map! read more

Food is great. I like the variety and the food quality is consistent. Only thing that has thrown me off last few times is the cashier. She has zero personality or expressions no smile nothing. Almost as if you were ordering from a robot. Regardless the food and service is good just don't expect any substitutions. read more

Me and my husband love this place. This is our go to for ceviche, fish and shrimp tacos. However we decided to try the quesabirria tacos and we were very disappointed. Tacos tasted as if they were fried in old oil. Won't be coming here for anything other than seafood. read more

Potato tacos are absolutely delicious, I've made most menu items vegetarian friendly but I stick to the potato tacos

My craving for baja fish tacos are often, and this is my usual spot. The food is fresh and the salsas are on point, but it seems like every time with this location, my order never goes through. I always end up waiting the same amount of time as if I went there to order. It's frustrating, but the service is always friendly here and the food is good enough that I choose to come back. Good baja fish tacos are hard to come by, and La Bufadora does them right, as they fry them fresh. They are generous with the cabbage and pico de gallo, as well as the amount of fish. For the most part, the La bufadora chain stores taste the same across the board, especially as their salsas are prepackaged (likely from a central kitchen). Both the red (chipotle) salsa and the green are good, but can be a little spicy for those who don't usually tolerate some heat. read more

This place has great service, great Mexican food, great seating area. I have found my go to Mexican food joint! These are items we've ordered that are delicious: -Asada, Fish, Shrimp Tacos - loaded with protein and topped with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, cream. -Birria Bowl - comes with tortillas which are kind of hard but the bowl is so good, full of meat. -Birria Quesadilla - stuffed with meat and cheese. -Potato Tacos - fried taco that is filled with mashed potatoes and topped with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, cream. -Fish and Chips - battered and fried nicely. The salsas are pre packed with expiration dates. They have a good heat level and very tasty. The staff is very kind and they keep this place very clean! read more

They got rid of the salsa bar (which was the best part),i just ordered the seafood soup ($17) CRAZY expensive! I paid it thinking it would come in a nice big bowl. Nope, it came in a tiny container with some nasty tortillas that were all chewy. I don't mind spending money when its worth it but this is NOT it. Also, I love olives but why put olives in a seafood soup? That's just a nasty mix. PASS. read more

Very good food. Employees were very nice. And it was clean and not packed. I would come here again.

This place is legit I go to Baja often and yeah it passes most authentic shrimp tacos I've tried in a while deliciously crispy and the perfect amount of toppings. The fish ceviche is good too always tastes fresh, they have a torre ceviche I'll keep you posted haven't tried it yet (but I will) I also had the Shrimp cocktail and it was good plenty of shrimp and aguacate . The girls at the front are genuinely friendly and patient. The -1 one star is due to the setup of the tables it's just kind of an awkward layout but no big deal, it is always clean and fresh. Come and try their tacos that's my fav so far. read more
