As a new beacon Hill resident, I try to find the hidden gems in the area. Baja Bistro is definitely a gem. Wonderful home cooked food. Not overly greasy, but packed full of flavor. read more

Super good happy hour and their fish tacos are actually some of the best i've had in washington, especially for the price!

I came to visit my sister in Seattle. She lives near this restaurant. We had an appetizer and a few beers and immediately came back the next day because it was so delicious! The appetizer was green chilies in a cream sauce. Great flavors and super amazing, friendly service. This is a family run establishment. I would definitely recommend this place if you want an authentic Mexican meal. read more

We came here a couple of times during out stay for the happy hour special. $5 margaritas' between 3 -7. They are good. I like them made with fresh lime so much more but these were good. They give you chips and salsa too if you'd like. The salsa was kinda watery and spicy. It's got a outdoor seating. The servers were both nice and attentive. The food smelled good and the dishes also looked good when I saw them being delivered to others. read more

The food was decent. It came quickly on a cold watery Wednesday night when Travelers was closed. It is small though and very cozy. It is a good, safe, bet. It is not going to wow you but it will not disappoint. A-OK read more

A nifty little spot in NBH, I truly treasure Baja Bistro for serving excellent margaritas at 9am. Their food comes in a variety of portions and prices, making it great groups. Service has always been top-notch, even if the kitchen is occasionally slow. read more

This place is neighborhood goodness! Some non meat eater options too! It is a place to eat and celebrate. We love it.

I have been to this cute little mexican spot twice, once for dinner and cocktails and once for breakfast and java......It is so yummy and the staff is so friendly! If you just want java you can go in there and order from their full coffee bar menu* I am allergic to cheese so I asked the waitress if I could have a guacamole and mashed potato enhciliada and she made it happen. They have a great little bar in the back room if you want to go and have a sangria and some chips! Great addition to Beacon Hill! read more

I stopped for a bite here while waiting for some car service being done next door. I was really impressed. Don't look like much from the outside, but this place is delish. Great coffee, which surprised me in a Mexican food joint. There are what appears to be real Mexican mom's in the kitchen. I'd say the food is made with love because they look like they're at home in their own kitchen, laughing and talking while they cook. The dude at the counter who also brought me my food and coffee was super friendly and genuinly nice. And the food was delicious! Flavorful, authentic and a good sized poriton although I didn't have left overs. I'd like to go some time when I'm not getting my car serviced because the trip will be cheaper :) read more

Seems like an ideal neighborhood gem--nothing fancy but great, inexpensive food. Burritos were great and chocolate flan was exceptionally good. read more

Of the Mexican places on Beacon Hill, Baja Bistro is my current favorite. All I can say is that everything tastes exactly how you expect it to taste. And you should expect it to be large portions, cheesy, and tasty. read more

Happy Hour, happy hour, happy hour. They bring back the reason why happy hour is happy: strong drinks. They're margaritas are bomb, I usually like them blended but for this place I'll have it on the rocks. They also have amazing pollo en mole and the torta is great if you're trying to eat light. Even when we were taking 20 tacos to go, they gave us hh price for some of them. Super friendly staff. Love this place! read more

LOVE IT! Fresh not so americanized mexican food and a fantastic atmosphere filled with cool folks that know your name!

The owner was at the bar with his friends drinking while people were having dinner at tables when he started yelling at the female bartender "go to hell" among other nasty things. I didn't realize that it was the owner until one of my friends that frequents the restaurant told me. I spoke out and told them that they were in public and it was not appropriate how he was speaking to her and he started yelling at me and my friends telling us that if we didn't like it to get the hell out of his restaurant. He finally left and the bartender came over and was extremely apologetic. I don't recommend a restaurant where the owner has no respect for his customers or staff. read more

First time here! Store bought chips with salsa. Why??? Homemade chips only with the nachos! Great service and ok food. Wanted to love it, only liked it. read more

Came here a few days ago with a few friends and I have to say I was impressed! I ordered the steak tacos that also came with rice and beans and it was very good! The steak was nice and juicy which surprised me because it's not like this is a upscale place but it was delicious! If I'm in the area I'll be back! read more

I've been going here for five years now & the good quality has deteriorated over the years - the salsa is heavily watered down & tastes awful & they reheat a lot of food and then serve it so it looks like dishes are several days old. Their happy hr 4-7 has $3 beers & $2 tacos but I'm gonna stop going here now - food is just not good anymore read more

Based on only one meal- and I'm from Texas so have high standards of Mexican food. I felt like the coffee was lacking punch but the service and atmosphere were excellent. The chilaquiles was not the same chilaquiles I've been served near the border- the corn tortillas were soggy and it was heavy on the tomato sauce- reminding me more of lasagna than chilaquiles! But it was surprisingly still good and it hit the spot after spending 4 days camping in Rainier. I would go back for sure, but maybe I'd order something else. read more

Came on a Thursday about 11 and it DID NOT disappoint. Machaca is ridiculously good! Homemade salsa and guacamole and don't get me started on the homemade tortillas! Small, clean and SUPER yummy! read more

Hidden neighborhood gem! Love their cheese enchiladas, fish tacos and burrito. Also the margaritas are excellent!

Amazing little spot. Boyfriend and I went there on this past Sunday. He had been here before and kept raving about it. So, we went. The staff was wonderful and courteous. I ordered the cheese enchilada and he had the mole chicken enchilada. Oh, wow the taste was delicious. I ordered coffee to go along with the meal. Tasty. I truly was stuffed. I would truly recommend this place. read more

We've been going there on pretty much a weekly basis after church, and i have yet to try anything aside from the chorizo tacos because they're so good. My nieces and nephew always get the diner breakfast and my husband always gets the breakfast burrito. We have yet to change it up because we all like our choices so much! The service is great too - always really nice and on top of it. The only drawback would be the pretentious customers who seem to frequent the few beacon hill establishments that we have. read more

I've been coming here since they named it Baja Bistro. Over the years the food has declined a little bit to mediocre. BUT, I love the staff and that bar is just so friendly and those margaritas are the perfect combo of sweet and sour and fumey. Tip: go for dessert on the way home from downtown and get the key lime cake read more

Love this place. Sweet little neighborhood place w/great food & homemade tortillas! Oh & the prices are very good.

This place is a 4 minute walk. Very nice and busy. Every time i go, anything I try is tasty and good.

This place is a regular for me. The food is simple, cheap, and tasty. The ambiance is cool and relaxed. Always a good time for a margarita.

BEST place for food and drinks in Beacon Hill. Fish tacos are amazing and the margaritas are strong and savory.

Just left, paying 22$ for 2 bloody Mary's and a cup of coffee, after waiting 45 minutes for our food. The server was absolutely horrible, seemed interested in everything other than taking care of our table. Just let us know that the kitchen isn't set up for making food for more than 2 people at a time PLEASE! read more

Found this place on yelp whilst in the area, staff was very friendly and helpful in helping me find something I would like to eat, however the quality and taste of the food could have been better. read more

This is one of the best spots on Beacon. Good prices, fresh tortillas and a great local atmosphere. I eat breakfast here at least once a week because they make the absolute best chilaquiles. My only qualm is a lack of authentic Mexican drinks like Horchata. read more

My coworker and I have recently been going to baja a couple times a week. If I were on Beacon Hill more often, I'd probably find myself there every day. This is because the staff is amazing and sweet and the food is great! Plus I love their cocktails! The chicken nachos are a must especially if you can't decide on what fantastic entree they have to offer. They even make their own margarita mix and all the food is made from family recipes. read more

Nice little local place. Friendly staff, average prices, pretty good food. Free street parking if you can find an open spot.

Great little spot! Had the Steak tacos while waiting for my car's oil to be changed next door at Lieo's. Delicious!

It's just flat for me. I went there for breakfast one day and lunch another and both times I was disappointed. I ended up with a belly ache both times. read more

Wow finally a great place for stellar huevos rancheros and chilequiles. Such a cool place with a neighborly feel.

I love this place. The food is extremely cheap and delicious. Free coffee refills and homemade corn tortillas. Plus, they are open for breakfast! I drive 20 minutes out of my way just to come and eat here. One of the best Mexican restaurants in Seattle for sure! read more

Our Airbnb people suggested this place and we couldn't be happier. The pomegranate margaritas were to die for! They had real fruit. Clean, fast service, nice waiter and great food. read more

Great Happy hour, friendly bartender and delicious margaritas make this place awesome to hit after work. It's about a block from the light rail too, so it makes it easy to get to from downtown. read more

Authentic Mexican food! I love this place and it's my first time here. I'm an out-of-towner, too. I'm pretty sure I'm coming back tomorrow. They gave me the biggest mug filled with delicious coffee. read more

Awesome food, awesome drinks, awesome people! It can sometimes be loud in the bar, so beware. Go for the breakfasts- so awesome! Happy hour is great! read more
