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.

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

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.

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.

I've been coming here for years, never disappoints till recently went in and spent about $70 on a bunch of items I decided to get my daughter a shrimp taco ... plain this is what I got

You have to ask for condiments, onions, and salsa if you're eating outside. :) Not sure if there's a condiment bar inside at this time since I ate outside. The ceviche was fresh and the fish tacos were delightfully crispy for the fried fish. The veggies were also fresh and crisp. Ambience is casual and summery. Come in comfy clothes! Service: The lady who took our order was friendly as was the person who announced our food was ready. Parking: Street parking was easy on a Saturday afternoon.

Fish Tacos! I love me some fish tacos especially when it's fresh! Gotta eat it when it's freshly done and out. My brother and I went on a Wednesday night for $1.50 fish tacos! Service was very quick! Luckily it wasn't busy when we went and we ordered and within 10mins we got our orders. Inside the restaurant, there a few seatings as well as outside seatings! Definitely will be back for fish tacos!

We kicked things off with the queso fundido, and wow, it was absolutely delicious! Rich, melty, and packed with flavor, it was the perfect way to start the evening. For my entrée, I ordered the cochinita pibil, which was incredibly tender and saucy in the best way. My husband ordered the short rib, and it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. On the side, we shared the papas bravas and esquite, both of which complemented our dishes perfectly. The drinks truly elevated the night. My husband and I both love mezcal, and Kateen delivered. I ordered the Valentine's Day "Zona Romántica," which featured mezcal and wine almost like a sangria, but completely unique and beautifully balanced. My husband had the "Gypsy Fever," also mezcal-based, and it was smoky, smooth, and refreshing. Between the food, cocktails, and ambiance, it made for such a romantic and memorable evening. We'll absolutely be back!!

However, the reason I'm giving 2 stars is because of the valet parking experience. First, I was charged $25 even though the sign clearly stated that valet parking is $17 for the first 3 hours, and $25 after 3 hours. Our reservation was at 6:30 PM, we arrived on time, and we left before 9 PM, so the charge did not make sense. When I asked the valet attendant, he kept saying, "because you dined there," without giving any clear explanation. If it is actually a flat rate for restaurant guests, then that should be clearly stated upfront to customers. Second, when I got into my car, I noticed that someone had touched the navigation settings because the compass direction and display were different from what I normally use. I do not understand why there was any need to adjust or touch my navigation system at all. I really think the restaurant needs to improve and better manage its valet parking system. Honestly, it felt like I was being charged a random price just because I was told, "you dined there." If there is a flat valet rate for restaurant guests, that information should be clearly communicated upfront instead of leaving customers confused at the end.

It is a little slice of oasis in the middle of the fashion district. The restaurant itself - beautiful. I couldn't ask for more. Absolutely perfect in my book. Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious. The empanadas were great and as someone who lived in South America and ate empanadas every day, these really took me back to my Paraguay days. The squash blossoms were light and perfectly fried. Unfortunately my friends had gone to Funke the night before so they were comparing the squash blossoms and Funke won out, but they still liked Dama's! Small plates were enough for the 3 of us. The service was quick and attentive. Parking was easy for us. I will definitely be back!

Sadly, this experience soured my impression enough that I don't see myself returning.

The margarita flight was super cute and actually strong lol every flavor was good. Perfect for trying different drinks instead of just picking one. The asada burrito was packed with meat and flavor. The steak was juicy, seasoned really well, and the portions were worth it. The chicken taco was simple but sooo good and flavorful, but the Korean BBQ taco??? Yeah that was my favorite. The mix of sweet and savory with the sauce was insane. The vibes were fun, the food came out fresh, and the staff was really nice. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again. 10/10

The building is an original piece of the City's history, boasting a menu that features their famous burritos that vary in size from a regular to a huge party size beast that can feed several.

Hollenbeck was good but I definitely enjoyed the Okie burrito more, I ordered the "original" size once and didn't seem to learn my lesson the second time, these burritos can feed two in Original size. They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.
