    Grilled fish & shrimp tacos

    Everything you will want out of fresh Mexican seafood restaurant. It is clean& the employees are friendly

    John P.

    So I remember when I was a kid this was Norths, Johns Place and then jays grill. Then I'm going down Whittier Blvd and noticed it now was Baja Grill which I remember when they opened up at their older location down the way. First off let me get this out of the way..yes they do have amazing fish tacos, really good fish tacos. However, I decided to mix it up a bit, and get their Fish burrito. My friends, I was not disappointed in anyway, the flavor was there and the fish to beans ratio was perfect. I'm always worried that if I get a burrito I'm going to get nothing but beans. Not this day my friends it was perfect. The staff was quick and professional and the place was busy with hungry customers. The awesome part was looking at how much they transformed the inside of the restaurant. Growing up as a kid I remember it being old and not very well kept up. But they did what no other own ever took the time to do, they revamped it and made it look great inside. Wishing them the absolute best in their future business endeavors. I will be back for an awesome fish burrito.

    First time coming to their new location. This place has more room and better parking. The inside is well kept and the staff is friendly and efficient with the amount of customers coming and going. They have a TV which was playing a sporting game. We had the shrimp and fish tacos which had generous portions. I love the chilies that are here. This place is great to grab and go or sit and enjoy a beverage and great food! This is a must try!

    Yep!

    Another grand opening in Whittier I attended today! Live Mariachi & $1 fish tacos till 4pm I ordered 6 fish tacos to go /sour cream on the side please! I get home & only 2 sour creams for 6 fish tacos ‍ Overall food is tasty! Service is kind! Give them a try if you haven't yet!

    Service was super quick and easy going. Prices are very reasonable and the quality of the fish tacos are superb. But if you visited Tacos Baja before well you already knew that. The tortillas used are full of flavor. This is their new location just down the street. Place has been upgraded and is comfortable but some of the fixtures are fixes and not newly replaced. Seems like they haven't quite dialed in the operations yet. Overall a very good experience.

    Tacos Baja has been a staple in my household. Great quality and delicious flavor! Always a quick to-go for lunch or dinner. I usually get the fish tacos, I tried the shrimp taco today, I love their breading! Highly recommend and love their new location!!!

    I enjoyed this spot for a quick grab and go. The staff was friendly and my order of three tacos came up very fast. The tacos were a little too drenched in oil for my liking but overall the food was good and I would visit again in a pinch where I need a quick grab and go meal.

    Menu as of 6/6/25

    The food here is amazing. Great service & friendly staff. The seating area is so clean & spacious. I'll definitely be visiting here again! The Coctel de Camaron is perfectly seasoned, no need to add lime, & the shrimp are a decent size. The fish, shrimp, & carne asada tacos are Baja style with lots of toppings. The red salsa is so flavorful! The tacos are pretty big & filling! These are not your ordinary two-bite taquero tacos. & don't forget the Chiles Güeros sprinkled with chili powder, so good! I had the #4 Combo which includes a Small Coctel de Camarón, 1 Tostada de Ceviche (I chose Jaiba), & a drink for $10.99. Great deal if you're looking to try a little bit of everything. They offer self serve water cups with cucumber & lemon slices, which is nice while you wait for your order. The parking lot is large & much more spacious than the location on Painter Ave. Great location & food overall. Definitely a new favorite in the area!

    Heading to another fish taco place when we tripped across this place. Lucky us! Service is quick. Service is with a smile, polite. Prices are on point . Place was clean. Jayden was our first point of contact, answered our questions, made suggestions, great attitude! Had the fish tacos, plate. Came with rice and beans, and a drink! Also had the fish ceviche. Tacos were really good, the ceviche was really good. But the rice and beans were Devine!!! Overall, great experience. Glad we went to Tacos Baja!!! Good stuff!

    Ask the Community - Tacos Baja

    What's the difference between taco de pescado and taco de Baja?

    Hello, i’m glad you asked this question. it’s actually a very common question asked. The difference is the fish taco is just fish with a corn tortilla and the baja taco is fish and shrimp with a bigger flour tortilla than the corn.

    Does anyone know what happened to their Lakewood-Downey location?

    I went there in Dec 2019 and they had a note on the building saying they were closing that location and opening a new location also in Downey. That's the last I heard.

    Is the $.99 fish taco deal on Wednesday all day long?

    Yes it is! Go get some tacos!

    Do they have an updated phone number?

    I think they went out of business as I drove by two days ago and it was dark at 6:30pm. I've called for two days now and the number is disconnected

    Are they still open with the coronavirus restrictions on businesses? I called the number for this restaurant and it's not going thru.

    They are open

    Do they have fries or nachos?

    They have fries! And they're delicious

    Can you order fish tacos without batter for people with gluten allergy?

    Idk.

    What type of fish do they use for their fish tacos?

    I think is Talapia

    Can you get the 99 cent fish tacos to go?

    Yes ;)

    Do they clean their shrimp?

    Yes

He made the reservations online with Nine Social but when he got the confirmation, it said for Macallans so he called and spoke to the manager and we got a table here. Wine list was extensive and since he knew a lot about wine.... I told him to just choose for me. We did a pinot noir to start and then went to a cab. The cab was great! I ended the night with a moscato. I ordered the mango tango and he ordered the wedge. Both delish! The mango tango had that sweet and salty blend perfectly. For dessert we had the chocolate mousse. It was really good! Service was excellent! They let you try the wine before you order a glass! They checked on us constantly and were really attentive. The place had an older feel to it and it's quaint. I like the coziness of it. They had live music going on and Tom the pianist did a great job! He sang to me when Tom was playing. Super sweet! Tom came over to introduce himself and told us about music nights and there will be singers there. We love this place so much we stayed until closing time. We were the last ones to leave! We were already talking about coming back for when the singers will be there. Our first time here... And definitely won't be our last!

    Nine Social is a cozy wine bar located on the far west end of Birch Street in downtown Brea, right…read morenext to Macallans. There is a free parking garage right across the street. Their front of house focus is the wine bar, but they also have a good cocktail and martini menu, as well as a nice selection of food items. The interior is warm and cozy with two different seating areas. The larger front area has bar seating, quite a few tables, and a lounge area in the back corner with several couches. There is another area in the back which is smaller, and houses their cocktail bar and a number of two seat high top tables. You can order anything on the menu from either area. We sat at the bar in front for some Sunday evening cocktails and small bites. We started out with the spinach & artichoke dip ($15). The dip came out very hot, was a big portion, and was very good. However, the menu said it came with toast points, but instead it was served with tortilla chips which were just ok. The advertised toast points or fresher tortilla chips would have made this appetizer better. My first cocktail was the Limoncello Martini (vodka, fresh Limoncello, lemon juice, $15). I usually love anything lemon and this was a good martini with light lemon flavor. She started with the Purple Martin Martini (vodka, raspberry puree, pineapple, $15). This was another good martini with light sweetness from the raspberry and pineapple, not a sugar bomb. We wanted a little more food, so we ordered the Caprese flatbread ($18). It was a good size, and the dough was great. It had a good amount of cheese and tomatoes, and I really liked the balsamic drizzle on top. However, it did not come with the basil that was listed on the menu. Next, I tried the Peperoncino Martini (vodka, Italian Peperoncino brine, black pepper, extra virgin olive oil, $15). I loved this, one of the more unique martinis I've had. She liked her sip so much, she ordered her own for number three. Her second cocktail was the Carmel Apple Martini (carmel apple vodka, Licor 43, lemon, star anise, caramel cube garnish, $15). Most of the time, you would expect a caramel apple martini to be a sugar bomb, but not this one. The flavors were great with a light sweetness. And who doesn't like a caramel square treat? For my last one, I had the Cinnamon Sleigh (bourbon, cinnamon spice, maple, orange twist, $15). This was a good sipping finisher with light cinnamon notes and those great orange aromatics. KJ was our server, and she was very sweet and friendly. We came early in the evening and it was a little slow, so we chatting with her quite a bit. I'd take a half point off for the two food items not coming with the listed items, but rounded up to five stars overall. The bill had a 3% charge added for using a credit card. They have a music trivia night on Thursdays which would be fun to try. We enjoyed our first visit here, and will definitely return again.

There is plenty of parking in their lot or on the street. We ended up talking a lot and our poor server came back often to see if we were ready for drinks or appetizers. Thank you for your patience. We ended up splitting a bottle of wine and ordered the caprese. The caprese was so fresh and even had pesto in the middle. It was a great start to dinner. We were even given rolls with butter as well. We actually chose this place because they have a cheese wheel and no one ended up ordering that. They also were very attentive and refilled our water without us asking. I got the rigatoni a las vodka with chicken, and my two other friends got the baked rigatoni and the fettuccine Alfredo. Our dishes were delicious and perfectly seasoned. We also ordered the chocolate Gelato and tiramasu for dessert. Those were a perfect night cap to our dinner and catch up session. The restaurant is deceptively big and had a whole back area, I am guessing for large parties. It was very clean and we were able to catch up without any issues. I definitely recommend coming here for the food and excellent service.
