    The food is Fresh. The service is patient attentive and helpful. The patio outside is cool

    Baja Burrito
    Joel M.

    One of the many excellent restaurants of Whittier Blvd. If you're in the mood for fish tacos, they have a 1.50 taco Wednesday here. Service was good, ordered for pick up. Dining room indoors and some seating outside, parking on sidewalk or in the small lot in the back. I got a Baja burrito which contains fried Fish, shrimp, beans, rice, cabbage, tomato, onions, cilantro, cream & salsa. Good size and very filling, I regretted ordering an additional carne Asada and a pastor taco on the side. Saved for later, the Asada was good and the tortillas are the yellow kind. Ingredients tasted fresh and I would come again when I am in the mood again for some Estillo Ensanada.

    Great fish taco place, can tell the ingredients are fresh. Definitely would come back if nearby. Service is quick and kind. Outdoor seating only. Small parking lot in the back and street parking $3.75/ fish taco

    This is supposed to be 2 servings, and where's the juice.

    Tired of always getting my order incomplete, now look at this. This small cup, the" new way". This is suppose to be for 2 order of ceviche tostadas.

    A group of us went to Tacos Baja because we heard that the food is great, and we were not disappointed! They specialize in seafood, so the ceviche was on the top of everyone's list. They prefer the fish ceviche over the shrimp version. Delicious and worth the trip. Secondly, their fish tacos are awesome. The chicken tacos were not as special. A surprise-- the potato tacos rock!! The texture of the crunchy shell filled with potato is just the perfect bite. It comes with cheese, salsa, and crema on the side. They have mostly covered outdoor seating, we moved some tables together for our large group. You order inside at the counter and they call your number when your food is ready. So happy we tried Tacos Baja, it's a hit!

    There is a line for a reason y'all, it's delicious. I got the fish tacos and they were cooked to perfect, really flavorful and fresh. Also you gotta get the pepper- I'm not sure if it bc ones with the meal or not (my friend ordered) but it's so good. We also had a side of ceviche which is good but you might need to ask for more tostadas if you're sharing

    Happened to be in the area just in time for their Wednesday $1.59 fish taco special and got 3 for just over $5. I went for breakfast at around 9:45 to a budding line (it's taco'clock somewhere) and waited around 10 minutes for my food. Their interior has about 4-5 tables and a counter for ordering and pick up, but if you're looking for seating you might have more luck in their furnished outdoor patio. Service was no frills. The tacos themselves were a delicious start to my morning - well battered, crispy fish about as long as the width of a tortilla with a healthy amount of cabbage, pico de gallo, crema, and salsa. Their salsas definitely run a little hotter than some of the places I've had in the Bay Area, which was a nice touch. No lingering grease or heaviness in my stomach afterwards - must try local gem!

    Good food but I ordered 2 burritos 5 shrimp tacos & 7 fish and only gave me 2 sauces and when asking for extra just 1 was givin

    Very good food but food was giving with no sauce and when asked for more for a order of 2 burritos & 13 tacos only 3 sauces were giving

    What I Ordered: -4 Fish Tacos $1.59 Each on Wednesdays -1 Shrimp Taco $3.59 Tacos Baja is an Ensenada-style eatery. They specialize in tacos in particular fish and shrimp tacos. Each order comes with some red hot sauce and roasted yellow peppers that are dipped in chili powder. They have three locations with one in LA and two in Whittier. Come here early on Wednesday or expect a line to form around lunch time on Wednesdays. The Wednesday Special of Fish Tacos for $1.59 is a really good deal. I initially ordered two fish and one shrimp tacos. I was really hungry and I ordered two more fish tacos. I went a little overboard with my taco consumption, but you can't beat that price. The Fish Taco tasted good. The only downside is that the breading of fish fell apart way too easily. I still think Tacos Baja makes a really good fish taco especially for the price. I would have still pay the regular price of $3.59 for the Fish Tacos as they are that good. The Shrimp Taco was also good. The portion size was good for the price. Tacos Baja makes great fish and shrimp tacos. You won't be disappointed if you come here. I'll be back on another Wednesday in the future for some more delicious Fish Tacos.

    If you are anywhere near East LA and are hungry, Tacos Baja is a stop for you! I can only vouch for the Baja burrito, but it's a big vouch, I would say stop by and try them. They have off street parking and plenty of places to sit down and enjoy their food. Your order goes in quickly and your food comes out fast. It is definitely old school and that brings quality and good taste. Stop by and enjoy your meal inside or on one of their two dining patios.

    Fish tacos are Good. A+ Tostadas (Shrimp and Jaiva) are good. A+ Ask for their chiles Güeros.

We ordered a variety of dishes to share, and everything was presented really well.

Portions were great for sharing, and the sauces really tied everything together. Service was friendly and our server checked in on us throughout the night without making us feel rushed.

Our waiter then told us we needed a specific Dine LA reservation, something that was never mentioned when I called or when I made the reservation. I've been to plenty of Dine LA restaurants and have never experienced this. The service wasn't necessarily bad, but it was very dismissive. No apology, no real explanation--they basically just brushed it off. Thankfully, the food saved the night! The Michelada oysters were TO DIE FOR--seriously one of the best oyster flavors I've ever had. We also had the short rib plate, which was delicious. The outdoor atmosphere and decor are really cute too. I would come back, but ONLY for those oysters--definitely not for the service.

    My friends and I recently did an LA taco tour, visiting various storefronts to find our favorite…read morespot. Sonoratown was our first stop as it was highly recommended by my boyfriend's brother, and it did not disappoint. It immediately earned a spot in our top five favorite taco spots for carne asada in all of Southern California! The location that we went to is located in between Elysium DTLA and Perfumeria Starlux on E 8th St in downtown LA. There is only paid(?) street parking around the area that could be extremely difficult to find during work days. Because we couldn't snag a spot, my friends and I opted for takeout and didn't end up eating until about 30 minutes later. Despite the travel time, the tacos were still absolutely incredible--I can only imagine how spectacular it tastes fresh! My friends and I ordered the carne asada tacos, and my boyfriend opted for the cabeza. Before I even took a full bite, I tasted a piece of the loose carne asada and was blown away; it was perfectly cooked with a wonderful tenderness and deep smokiness. The use of a single, thin, handmade flour tortilla--rather than the standard double corn--was a total game-changer and exactly how I preferred my tacos. The salsas were equally impressive, offering fantastic flavor and a great kick. My boyfriend's cabeza taco was just as standout, featuring super-tender meat with a rich, savory profile. Wowowow! Between the exceptional meat quality, bold flavors, and great value, this is easily one of the best taco spots I've visited. It's a huge bummer that they don't have a location down in San Diego, but we will definitely be back!

Cute building with lovely patio seating: from the trailing hanging pothos plants, Spanish tiles, to relaxing latin-house music the vibes were welcoming. I'm not much of a drinker though, when asked if I wanted to make my pina colada a "float" I thought incorrectly about ice cream. It was graciously explained that you take an additional shot of rum and float it on top of the drink or mix in to make it extra boozy. The pina colada is top notch they hollow out a real pineapple to make the drink and it's the size of your face! The watermelon cocktail was delicious and there is also a mezcal option. Tasted like if a watermelon aqua Fresca was combined with a margarita, there is a hint of salt that brings out the fruit sweetness. We special ordered a bunch of different proteins and vegetables at half portions to make a feast: Aguachile- Light refreshing starter, kanpachi perfectly marinated and great for the summer heat. Crispy potato- Phenomenally done fingerling potatoes. Whipped beans- Carnitas on top made this dish. Fried chicken tacos- Found the chicken slightly on the dry side, if there was a creamy/thicker sauce would be even better... nothing wrong with flavor, good mild heat. I did enjoy the fresh shredded cabbage and carrots, reminded me of bahn mi. Empanadas- Loved the acidity of the sauce that cut through the fattiness of the ground meat. Light shell. Crispy Squash flower- Delicate crunch, like an angelic version of a jalapeno popper. Lamb chops- Definition of "treat-yourself" luxurious meat lollipops. Celery salad- Simple dish but the lemon flavor and tartness really helped break up the richness of other dishes. Churros- Light crunch and small, petite dessert. The thin caramel sauce is addicting. Fine dining, for those special occasions or if you just want to splurge for a morale boost highly recommend this restaurant. Valet parking or park across the street or around the corner in a lot for $5-10.
