    Don't interact with her she'll give you an attitude, extremely rude.
    Daniel M.

    If you want attitude from the women up front, come here. Other than that stay away from this place, you walk in and she has a stank attitude. Screaming and yelling upset that shes gotta do her job. Terrible. No customer service. Places says it closes at 7pm, with multiple people in their lobby saying "I'm only doing mobile orders." Avoid this place at all cost. Busted down looking joint.

    Man why hasn't anyone told me about this place before!! This place is fire !! We came in on a Wednesday around lunch hour , the place was jam packed!! Parking can be a little of a issue , small parking lot . But with the wait ! Service is pretty quick , and the prices are super affordable!! Seem they haven't gone up like every where else . They have tacos and mariscos . All look fresh and tasty . I got the tht meal with a shrimp taco and fish taco rice and beans for about $12 . Oh! And they have the yellow seasoned chilis up for grabs , no limit or charge !!! Will definitely be back!

    Tacos Baja: combo 1

    I first learned about Tacos Baja from the East LA branch om Whittier Blvd. Was randomly passing by when I spotted this location and decided to give them a try. Definitely a hole-on-the-wall kinda place that totally needs an uplift in the cleaning department, but the food is delicious. Purchased combo #1 plus an horchata and a Jamaica. The fish tacos were very flavorful. Loved the warm tortillas and the chiles hueros!!! The rice and beans were just ok. Would return for fish tacos and will try other menu items. The waters were over sweetened but most people like their drinks with this amount or even more sugar. Personally I diluted my drinks in half to deal with the excess. Definitely a spot to check out if you can overlook the grime and is down for a good bite.

    Ceviche Mixto

    Tacos Baja is hands down one of my favorite spots for fish tacos. Their ceviche mixto good as well--It's the perfect appetizer to start any meal there. Another highlight is their unbeatable fish taco deal on Wednesdays. The fish tacos are crispy, generously portioned, and topped with fresh cabbage and their signature creamy sauce. At such a great price, it's hard not to order a whole plate! The atmosphere is casual and lively, and the staff is always quick and friendly. If you're craving delicious seafood and amazing deals, Tacos Baja is definitely worth a visit--especially on Wednesdays!

    Shrimp Tacos

    Baltizar was a real professional and a real hustler, he went out of his way to make sure I was accommodated and even let me sample things to so I could be sure of what I was getting. Food was excellent and I will definitely make it a point to come again. Appreciate you bro

    We were in Whittier driving around looking for tacos. After striking out at our first stop we decided to give this place a shot. The place is clean and the shrimp looked fresh. The cashier was very friendly and welcomed us in. They do not have and Coke in the fountain drinks. On the plus side. They do sell Mexican Coke in the bottle:). The fish and shrimp tacos were okay just a little heavy on the batter. The food tasted fresh and not frozen.i do have my favorite, go to, fish taco spot.here in the South Bay Area. We will be heading back to Whittier to try out some street tacos that we're setting up when we driving. Hopefully we find a hidden gem. Tune back in to see what we found

    The food is so good, everything is served fresh. I personally think the fish taco is excellent, the shrimp taco is also very very good. We actually love everything we ordered here. We ordered at the counter and picked up the food ourselves at the counter. The service is at the counter. Ambiance is casual, we cleaned up our table afterwards

    Tacos de Pescado
    Suzette V.

    Stopped in for a quick lunch today and it did not disappoint. We had tacos de pescado this time but even the Cameron and ceviche is amazing here. Parking can be a little rough at lunch time but you can always park in the little plaza next door. Staff is super friendly. Everything was also very clean inside. One of our top lunch spots.

    A solid spot for fried fish tacos, super delicious and on point. I ordered fish tacos a seafood soup and their shrimp cocktail. The tacos were delicious and mainly because of the fried fish. The sauce was excellent. The rice was about average and the soup was great. The shrimp cocktail was delicious and fresh tasting also. I'd definitely come back here again to try their other menu items.

    I used to go to school in Whittier and Tacos Baja was a staple for their $1 tacos on one of the days of the week. I've eaten here so much over those years that I crave the fish tacos and the spiced pepper on the side into my adulthood. Every single time it's perfectly cooked and tender with the perfect amount of toppings. I try and get fish tacos here every time I come back and will continue to for every visit. They did forget to get me one of my tacos and I just let the counter know and they got me another one. My friend also got the ceviche and it is great.

    Fish & Shrimp Tacos with everything.

The idea was to enjoy my coffee while getting organized--paying bills, planning calendar events, and having the opportunity to focus without any distractions from my usual surroundings. In search of the perfect spot, I turned to Yelp, a reliable resource for uncovering hidden gems nearby. Upon stepping into the coffee shop, I was immediately greeted with warm hospitality, setting the tone for a delightful experience. The ambiance of the place was truly captivating--it was bright and welcoming, infused with an aesthetic charm that instantly put me at ease. I couldn't help but be intrigued by the design elements throughout the shop, which added an inviting touch to its overall atmosphere. Before I settled in, I asked the staff if I could snap a few photos to capture the essence of this delightful space. They graciously welcomed my request, and I was shown to my table, which, quite uniquely, was designated by a number--a small detail that I found charming. As I browsed the menu, I encountered a small conundrum: I wasn't entirely sure what to order. I wanted to break the mold and try something out of the ordinary. My curiosity was piqued by their exclusive offering of Café de la Olla--a traditional hot drink that piqued my interest right away. I ultimately settled on a hearty plate that included rice, beans, and enticing potato tostones, accompanied by two beautifully cooked sunny-side-up eggs. As I waited for my order, I noticed the café was filled with the sweet sounds of old-school music from the '60s and '70s, which only enhanced the cozy ambiance while I sipped my drink. Now, let's talk about the food! I must say, I rated the café itself a solid 4 out of 5 for its overall charm, while the rice earned a respectable 4 out of 5. The beans were rich in flavor and received a fair 3.9 out of 5. The potato tostones, delicately bathed in a savory red sauce, stood out with an impressive score of 4.3 out of 5--these are a must-try if you visit! And as for the sunny-side-up eggs, they were good, but hey, eggs are eggs, right? Overall, the entire experience was quite enjoyable, from the delightful food to the warm atmosphere. A special shout-out goes to Ana, whose exceptional customer service made my visit even more memorable. The combination of fantastic service, inviting aesthetics, and satisfying food truly made for a perfect morning retreat. I can't recommend this spot enough for anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind and focus on what matters.

However we were going either way because it was also our featured DJ's birthday. We made reservations but that was difficult too as we called for several days until someone actually answered the phone. I was a little surprised because the food we ordered were all pretty tasty, decent portions, and reasonably priced. The service was ok. Orders took a little time to arrive, but they made sure we had chips and salsa and with a full crowd and a limited number of wait staff, they made sure we were still being attended too. It is very loud here with a full restaurant of diners, the live DJ and football games going with loud cheering fans, so if you have sensitive hearing, bring some ear plugs.

Even though the restaurant is small and busy, we were seated right away, which was a great start. Our waiter Washington, was fantastic, friendly, attentive, and made our whole experience even better. The atmosphere was perfect too. They had music playing at just the right volume and a big TV showing the live Dodger game, which the kids loved. We started with chips and salsa. The salsa had the perfect level of spice for everyone at the table. The kids ordered horchatas and were excited about the unlimited refills (something you don't always see at other restaurants!). The drinks for the adults were just as impressive. My wife's watermelon margarita on the rocks was perfectly made. It was not overly sweet or syrupy like at some places. Our friends had the "El Jefe" margaritas, and they definitely didn't skimp on the tequila! For dinner, everything was a hit. The kids loved their meals. Albóndigas soup, shrimp tacos, and street tacos--all served with rice and beans. The adult dishes were just as good. The carne asada arrachera was cooked perfectly, the chile verde was full of flavor, and my chicken mole was delicious with a great balance of spicy and sweet without being overwhelming. The portions were very generous, and everything came with rice, beans, and both corn and flour tortillas. The only small thing I would've preferred differently was the chicken in my mole. I personally would've liked a leg and thigh instead of sliced chicken breast but the dish was still very good overall. What really stood out was the hospitality. At the end of the meal, Washington offered us "holy water"-house tequila shots on the house--and it wasn't cheap tequila either! Then after the bill came, he surprised us again with another round of "holy water". That level of generosity and care really impressed us. We also learned that the restaurant has been there 20+ years and is family-run by him and his siblings, which made the experience feel even more personal. You can tell they have a loyal customer base--one couple even said, "See you tomorrow Washington!" The only feedback we'd offer (coming from a customer service background) is that we noticed a few guests waiting at the entrance without being greeted, and one couple actually left the restaurant. A simple "Welcome, we'll be right with you" would go a long way. That said, it didn't take away from our experience. Overall, amazing food, great service, generous portions, and a welcoming family atmosphere. We will definitely be back to try more of their menu!

    I went on a taco run yesterday to try to find the best taco in Whittier…read more Started off the run with a keto taco mixed with asada and al pastor and then a regular tripa taco. Keto taco - toasted/grilled cheese instead of a regular tortilla - needed to be done a little more on one side as the cheese wasn't quite toasty enough to stay in place to slightly resemble the shape of a taco. Bit hard to eat, covered my hands in grease. Asada tastes almost boiled, and this being my 2nd or 3rd time getting the Asada here, it consistently tastes like it was boiled and not grilled. Unsure of meat quality or preparation, but there are no grill marks and it's a bit chewy. Same with the al pastor. Tripa taco was bizarre. Strips of flat skin instead of the usual roundish, cylindrical shape of tripa (intestine). Usually a saltier, fattier meat than asada, which is my preference but the one here was lacking in flavor and the texture threw me off a bit. Tripa can be chewy - unless requested extra done, which is how I normally order it - but there was no saving this tripa. I think it needs to be sliced differently, the cuts made it inedible. Brother shared some of his chorizo taco and it was the better of the bunch. Red chorizo, TJ style, although it was also lacking a teeny bit in flavor... onions and cilantro to the rescue! Still, mediocre. Salsas were ok, nothing out of the ordinary. Don't think the tortillas were homemade. Service was fine, cashier takes your order, dude at the counter was chill and had a friendly attitude. Seating was limited. Mostly bar style seating but the majority was in front of a window and it had so much heat trapped from the glass that it was kind of uncomfortable. Other seats are too close to the bathroom. Good for a quick bite or just pick-up orders. Wouldn't plan a sit down/dine-in visit. Parking is scarce and has really small spots, wouldn't come if you're driving a pick-up truck or anything like that. Food was reasonably priced, which is good, however; the food was lacking so I would not return.
