Baja Fish Tacos

It is in a strip mall next to Waba Grill, Ulta, and Ross stores.I ordered a sides of black beans, white rice (delicious unique flavor that melts in your mouth), grilled corn, and avocadoes to be placed together in a plate upon my request. I ordered mine without cheese and sour cream. I went to their assorted salsa bar that has little containers to put salsa, pickled white onions, and cilantro. Afterwards, I placed them on top of delicious order. My friend ordered nachos which looked divine! It is very crowded so it is wise to have someone in your party stay behind to procure a table inside or outside while the rest of the group orders.

Food: Delicious, without a doubt. Perhaps I'm biased as this was my first Baja fish taco experience, but it was really good. It all tasted fresh and seasoning was on point. Service: Staff were quite frankly a bit rude. Both at the counter to order and on my way out. I guess saying "thank you" and "have a good night" gets you a side eye and no reply at this place - at least that's what happened to me. Ambiance: Average for a quick delicious bite. Loads of people were doing take out and I get why.

When the line extends out the door, it's a good sign. With steady customers coming & going I couldn't wait to try my blackened fish burrito.Orders:Blackened Fish Burrito-well seasoned fish with shredded lettuce was a light & healthy choice. I only wished there was rice & beans, but still good nonetheless.Enchiladas & 1 soft taco-great enchilada sauce with plenty of carne asada(additional cost). The meat was charred to give it that crispy edge & the seasoning was perfect.Although I initially wanted the soft taco's after seeing it for $5 each I opted for the burrito at $12 & it was another good alternative.This is close to UCI,so it's a great to stop by if you crave good fish burrito's.

Even though it was really busy, the staff here is efficient and cranking through the customers. The staff up front is taking orders quickly, the kitchen is getting the orders out. As soon as someone stands up to leave, their table is magically cleaned and ready for the next guests. I ordered the Shrimp Burrito ($17.00) add Sour Cream $.76, Pico De Gallo $0.00 and Avocado $2.32. Yes, it was expensive but it was delicious. The shrimp were large, plump and plentiful. The two taco combo was $13.25 and comes with rice and pinto beans. They used to have really good buttery herb rice. Now it's just plain rice with a touch of butter but still ok. Pinto beans were good. You used to be able to choose from a bunch of different kinds of fish but now its just one white fish option. We were here in 2014, 2016 and now 2024.Why only 4 stars, you ask? The prices are a bit high. We got cups for water and there are 3 water symbols on the fountain drink machine. Guess which one is plain water and not seltzer water? We guessed wrong and had to try again. Just a simple label maker would fix that confusion.

Glad I stopped in. I had a combo with a fish taco and a blackened chicken enchilada. I knew I was in store for a treat when the line was out the door. To for rice and pinto beans which were amazing. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and the staff is very friendly!

The food is good, but it's a bit pricey for what you get. Fresh ingredients and decent portions, but there are more affordable options elsewhere for similar quality. Service is quick and friendly.

This restaurant is located near the market near by South Coast plaza. It is a crowded place, especially on the weekends. There are outdoor tables and an indoor seating place. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. When places are so popular and crowded, sometimes they get dirty. The salsa bar always has three to five people waiting for it. The pico is excellent. The guacamole is very good. Their rice is the best, ever. My shrimp taco was lacking shrimp. My fish taco was lacking seasoning. It was okay. Costa Mesa and Lake Forest locations taste better and are cleaner, especially the location on 17th Street. The food was not terrible, but not great. Just three stars for me.

Baja Fish Tacos will ALWAYS hit the spot! I finally introduced my boyfriend to this place and he is a happy man! We came on a Thursday around 5:45pm and got into a line of about 3 people (usually there's a long line but it goes by fast). Our cashier was very nice like usual. We found a table indoors very fast (they also have outdoor seating). I ordered a burrito ensañada style with no pico de gallo and the guac on the side, I also added black beans. My boyfriend got a carne asada burrito with added rice. Both of our burritos were delicious. We also got a side of chips and salsa, they were super crispy. Every meal is amazing, just depends on what you're craving. The 2 bathrooms are very clean. The restaurant itself is also very clean and I especially love the salsa station with chiles and limon.

This place was recommended to me by other friends. It did not disappoint! Their fish tacos here are pretty good. I love the self serve table where you can get all the fresh toppings. We got the chargrilled, blackened, and beer batter fish tacos. My favorite is the blackened fish tacos. It was had more flavors to me. The portion of the fish they put in these tacos are huge! You definitely should also order a side of chips and the salsa is refillable. This place was super packed around lunch time, but they also seem to have a constant flow of people waiting in line. Service was quick. I want to get their burritos next time. Overall, this place is on my top list for fish tacos.

I have only ordered from here via DoorDash but this place is amazing. The shrimp quesadilla is great! I love how they give you huge whole shrimps, and they are sautéed in this butter sauce. I do wish they added a bit more cheese but overall great quality for the price.
