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

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

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!

Fish tacos 10/10 and get the lil pepper too

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!

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.

today I went to tacos baja because I was craving some fish tacos. I ordered two fish tacos--they say grilled on the menu but they're actually fried (which is good because that's what I was looking for!!). well they were soo good and flavorful!! there was enough sauce so that you didn't get a dry bite, and the fish were fried to perfection, not too much batter either!! honestly some of the best fish tacos I have ever had!! they have seating inside and outside, and also a clean restroom so you can wash your hands after.

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.

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

We had intended to go to the bar next door, but one look at the crowd there and the loud throbbing music turned us off. I had wanted to go to Mi Corazon anyway, and was glad the group agreed. Lots of great mezcal and tequila options, as well as a well-stocked bar with wine, beer and cocktails. And the food menu looks great, but we didn't try it. Next time! The bartender was great and served us at our table. Brought us chips and a delicious homemade spicy salsa. The atmosphere was perfect for conversation, with good indie music playing at the right level. I will be back.

1 Star -- Extremely disappointing experience…read more Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant was horrible from the moment we arrived. When I first arrived, I gave them the name of our reservation, and the staff had no idea what I was talking about. We were a party of 6, yet they seated us at a tiny table that was clearly not appropriate for our group. When it was time to order, my husband very clearly told the waiter which pasta he wanted and even showed him a picture of the item on the menu. The waiter looked at it and agreed. My food came out, but my husband's food never did. We eventually found out that his order was never even put in. What made it worse was when the waiter came out saying, "Oh my God, I thought you said you didn't want it." Everyone at the table looked at him completely confused because my husband had literally told him what he wanted and showed him the menu item. Instead of simply acknowledging the mistake and fixing it, we were left waiting. On top of that, trying to get anyone's attention was nearly impossible. We had to repeatedly try to get someone's attention just to get basic service. Then there was another issue with the entrance fee. My sister-in-law had messages showing that we were told that if we ate at the restaurant, we would no longer have to pay the entrance fee. We showed those messages to the woman handling the wristbands, but instead of looking into it or speaking to someone who could clarify the situation, she simply said, "I don't know, you have to pay." No attempt was made to investigate or resolve the issue. After everything that happened, they still added a tip to the bill, despite the extremely poor service we received. Overall, this was one of the most frustrating restaurant experiences I've had. Poor communication, poor service, lack of organization, and no effort to make things right. I definitely will not be recommending this place to anyone, and we will not be returning.

The service was impeccable--everyone was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel special. We had to get the Michelada Oysters again because I had been craving them since our last visit. They were just as amazing as I remembered--fresh, perfectly seasoned, and seriously addicting. For Dine LA, I started with the Tostada Campechana, which was like an elevated ceviche with scallops, tuna, yellowtail, avocado, and a citrus sesame sauce. Everything tasted super fresh and the citrus gave it the perfect balance. The Bone Marrow Mole was rich, flavorful, and came with a generous portion and toast. For my main course, I had the skirt steak, which was cooked perfectly--tender, well-seasoned, and delicious with the green sauce. The homemade tortillas were amazing too. We ended with the Dulce de Leche Panna Cotta, and it was the perfect finish--creamy, smooth, not overly sweet, and so good we practically cleaned the plate. Amazing food, great portions, beautiful atmosphere, and excellent service. Ka'teen definitely delivered. I would absolutely come back again.

My parents were visiting from Florida for their annual family trip, and I wanted to treat them to a…read moremeal and introduce them to the diverse food scene in Los Angeles. Since they live in an area with limited Mexican cuisine, I chose Guelaguetza, a James Beard Award-winning restaurant with authentic Oaxacan recipes, something completely new to them. They were excited to try something different, as they don't have many Mexican food options where they live, and I wanted to expand their culinary horizons. We were greeted with complimentary chips - some were drizzled with mole and Oaxacan cheese, which we requested refills of, and others were served with red and green salsas. The green salsa had a nice kick to it. For our meal, we shared two large dishes: the Festival de Moles ($53.00) and the Tlayuda Guelaguetza ($27.50). The Tlayuda Guelaguetza, which is also called a Mexican pizza, was layered with bean and chicharron spread, queso fresco, cabbage, quesillo, beef tasajo, pork Cecina, and pork chorizo. While I've always wanted to try Tlayuda, this one wasn't good, and I wouldn't recommend it. The pork chorizo was particularly unappetizing, and neither my parents nor I enjoyed the dish, feeling it was a waste of money. The Festival de Moles ($53.00) featured four individual moles - negro, rojo, coloradito, and estofado - with a choice of shredded chicken breast or pork spare ribs. We opted for a mix of both and found this dish to be excellent, and we would definitely order it again. They were very impressed with the moles, and enjoyed them for the first time. The only minor complaint was a lack of tortillas to dip with the mole, though they did provide some rice. We ordered several drinks, which significantly increased the bill. I was surprised we spent $200 on lunch for three people with only two meals. I started with the Pasion De Oaxaca ($16.00), a mezcal, tequila, passion fruit, grapefruit juice, and tajin cocktail that was excellent, perfectly balanced, strong, but not too sweet. For my second drink, I had the refreshing Aquas Frescas - Jamaica ($6), which was perfect after my meal. I even took it to go, and they kindly provided a cup. My dad ended up taking it, as he needed it with his medication (they're old!). My parents, who were trying mole for the first time, were very impressed and really enjoyed it. Our only minor complaint was the lack of tortillas to dip in the mole, although they did provide some rice. The food took a little longer to come out, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. I imagine this type of cuisine is labor-intensive, and you can't rush the cooking time for mole. You just have to trust the process! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Guelaguetza Restaurante and will definitely be back. I can see why they're a James Beard Award-winning restaurant; you can get authentic Oaxacan flavors in LA! We're lucky to live here.

We came here for my friend's birthday and her steak was perfectly cooked and delicious. The pulque bread with miso butter and the guac were also delicious appetizers. Those were the 3 best dishes of the night. We also shared the crab bunuelos, the cochinita sopes, and the pulpo tacos. Sopes are my favorite Mexican dish, but these ones were too difficult to cut through/bite through. The pulpo taco, we could mostly taste the tortilla, the pulpo didn't shine through. And the bunuelos were fine, but not something super memorable. One of my friends had the duck emolada, and I had the branzino. As I mentioned, the birthday girl got the steak and that was delicious. But my other friend was really let down by his emolada which he has been wanting to try forever. My branzino was well cooked, the green sauce was pretty good. But the tomatillo greens salad on the dish was possibly one of the worst things I've ever eaten. And I love bitter, and I love greens.... But this was next level where I involuntarily made a sour puss face with each bite. For dessert we had the chocolate cake with cafe de Olla which was moist and good. We also got the pulque with the prickly pear, which was veryyyyyy sweet and none of us cared for that much. (Even tho I usually love prickly pear desserts) The service was nice, no one dropped the ball, but nothing stood out either. The restaurant itself is beautiful but it is open air (with no AC) so it was very hot since we have had so many hot days here in LA. We took a Lyft so we didn't have to worry about parking.

Patience definitely pays off because the food was absolutely delicious! We started with a huge bowl of creamy guacamole, it was well seasoned and great but we ran out of chips. My uni and bay scallop ceviche was super fresh, the seafood tasted so sweet and was paired with the perfect amount of citrus and creamy sauce to tie everything together without overpowering the seafood flavors. I also tried a bite of the kanpachi tostada and that was wonderful too! Everything they made highlighted the seafood so well. I didn't get a chance to try everything we ordered but we all loved every dish we tried. Definitely check this place out if you love seafood, but I'd recommend coming either on a weekday or really early to avoid the crowd. There are a few parking spots available outside and street parking as well so it's pretty convenient.
