Jonna is an amazing server and EVERYONE should request her. She was fun and witty. She kept us on our toes in the best way. We were there to celebrate Mother's Day and the entire staff made us feel welcome. There were 8 of us and the food was was just a impressive, I had the Huevo Rancheros, which was fresh and spicy but not too spicy, and just delicious. Others at our table ordered the Cinnamon Roll pancake, which was AMAZING, the Cinnamon Roll french toast, an omlet, a blueberry pancake, the Baja breakfast burrito, and the Coyote Benedict. Anyone who had leftovers took them to go. Oh, and when I say one pancake, I'm sure that is all the average person could possibly eat. It covered the whole plate. The burrito was so big that my mom and dad shared it. This was my first time here and I will be going back, for sure. read more

Food was amazing and so was the service! I appreciate chance very attentive. All smiles!! Made me feel like family!

The food is amazing and so is the service! I highly recommend the snickerdoodle pancake! My server, Chance, was really helpful and I will definitely be returning! read more

Crazy loud and very busy. If quantity is what you want then this is the place for you. Piles of food all in a big huge heap. Yes you can take it with you if that is your thing. Caution-Bloody Mary too hot even for my husband's cast iron mouth and tummy. read more

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would without hesitation. Baja Cafe has been one of my go to breakfast/ brunch spots for a while now, and it never disappoints. The food is incredible, and the service is always friendly, fast, and welcoming. I've tried a bunch of different things on the menu, and honestly you can't really go wrong with anything, but my personal favorite is the King Kong. Fair warning, this place gets BUSY, especially on weekends or when snowbirds are in town. Even if you get there early you're going to probably have to wait a bit for a table but it's 100% worth it! Easily one of my favorite breakfast spots ever. When the weather is nice I prefer to sit on the patio outside because the inside has that hectic diner feel to it but if they are busy I'll take a table wherever I can get one! Phone never eats first when I'm coming here. read more

10:30 Thursday. 3 big parties waiting. Staff scrambling, sweating and serving sweetly. Energetic breakfast crowd, upbeat, sunny dining room. Food was piping hot, savory and succulent. Corned beef was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Finally, the pecan roll pancake was heaped with cinnamon roll goodness and a pecan in every bite! read more

I'm surprised the wait time wasn't longer after trying the food. I get why it made the Top 100 list! They have a great balcony area where pets are allowed and staff was very nice. Sadly, they were out of Prickly Pear mimosas, so I got a Wild Berry Mimosa without OJ and my guy got the same with OJ. We both agreed it was way better without the OJ. The wild berry mix they use was tasty and not overly sweet. Foodwise, we got the Berry Danish French Toast and the Southwest Smoked Brisket Tots (cheese sauce on side, no chipotle aioli). They brought the tots wrong the first time, but quickly brought us a correct version. It was really good! We actually preferred it without the cheese sauce since it made it feel much heavier. The brisket was cooked wonderfully and had great texture and the bacon was nice and crispy. The tots themselves were a bit disappointing and needed to be crispier. The french toast was soo good! It was honestly unbelievable how amazing this dish was. The french toast itself was perfect texture and delicious on it's own. The creme an-glaise was soo tasty and really elevated the dish. They gave a good amount of a variety of berries and didn't overuse the agave syrup. The whipped cream arrived already partially melted, but it's made in-house so we weren't upset. That's the only acceptable form of whipped cream in my opinion. 4.5 rounded to 5 read more

I went here for breakfast on a Sunday morning and although there was a wait it went by pretty quickly. We sat outside, but inside options were available. The menu was mostly egg Benedict pancakes and waffles. The food was plenty full and I did enjoy the flavor. The price was very decent as well for the food and value that you get. Overall, I would return here to try other items. The service was great. The ambience was chill and casual. read more

I went to this place once when I was still in college with a club I was a part of. This place was amazing and worth the price of what you get. There was such a good selection of breakfast items to choose from. Amazing pancake variety from cinnamon roll pancakes, snickerdoodle pancakes, your usual kinds like blueberry and chocolate chip, and so many others. The food was delicious as I had the snickerdoodle pancakes which were fantastic. They were made fresh, with more than enough snickerdoodle flavoring, and had a great texture as fluffy and flavorful. The service when we went was good too as they brought out everything on time along with making sure everything was accurate. And the ambiance can be very noisy here because this place tends to be packed. Since it is almost always packed and busy, it can lead to long wait times which can be tedious. But that is expected at a place like this when it's small and has become very popular. Worth a shot going for breakfast with friends and family. read more

If you can get past the long wait times then Baja is going to be your favorite brunch place in Tucson. I love Baja so much and recommend it to everyone I can. The food is amazing and the servers are all so nice. It can get a little crowded but that's only because everybody loves it! I recommend getting the Alcatraz, its insanely good. read more

Always love the food here- just got the two eggs, bacon, hash browns and English muffin. All tasty and fresh as usual. Service has never been anything but excellent here no matter how busy they are. Although they have a lovely patio to enjoy, it was a bit chilly when we went a couple weeks ago and we chose to sit inside. The inside has got plenty of seating and it must have great insulation as the noise level is not that high at all. You can enjoy great conversations at a normal speaking level and not feel drowned out. Highly recommend! read more

This is one of my favorite breakfast spots! They have a huge variety of options however my favorite has to be the skooby snak and a cinnamon roll pancake! read more

Wow! Popular diner with quality food and big portions Went here last weekend and was very impressed. It was pretty crowded and we were quoted about a 30 min wait time but luckily were seated in about 15 minutes. It's a large location but definitely recommend coming early if you have a large group. Food was delicious. Prices are high for a diner but cheaper than other brunch spots and are justified through the large portions. My favorite was the hash browns. The shredded potatoes were cooked perfectly with a crispy exterior and smooth creamy interior. The cinnamon roll pancake was also a huge standout. The portions are so large so they're great for sharing. The service was attentive and friendly. We got constant refills of coffee and were offered a free coffee to go. Sometimes they offer some extra food too but didn't this time. Definitely a spot worth the hype. read more

This spice is really busy, and we had to wait for our table, but it was worth it. He sat at the bar overlooking the kitchen, so we got to see all the delicious food, but the kitchen was cranking out. Anthony is a perfect server. He is so friendly and helpful. I wish all servers had his personality. I started with a fantastic Bloody Mary and ice water with lemon. We decided to build our omelette with crispy bacon, American cheese, mushrooms, and peppers for food. The portions are large, and we could have just eaten all of it, but we were hungry, so we also got the avocado toast. We devoured both meals. If we revisited the area, we would be tempted to return because the food was delectable and the staff was friendly. read more

Great food (menu was a great combination of savory and sweet). Service from D was incredible, friendly and fast, the whole team was amazing). Had the Wolverine and my husband had the lemon/blueberry pancake- both were flawless- and now we're so full we need a nap! Last thing, I hate mushy hash-browns, mine were crispy outer layer, perfectly done inside, thank you Baja Cafe for the perfect hash down crunchy to soft ratio! We'll be back. read more

Baja Cafe is one of my favorite breakfast spots in Tucson. It's a great place if you're looking for a solid breakfast with a mix of traditional dishes and Southwestern flavors. The service is great too. On my last visit, my girlfriend and I saw how busy it was and decided to leave because we didn't feel like waiting. As we were walking out, an employee actually ran after us to let us know they could seat us at the bar. That small gesture really stood out. It showed they genuinely care about their customers, instead of just letting us go. The vibe of the restaurant feels very Tucson, with lots of U of A decor on the walls. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros, which were tasty but honestly you can't go wrong with their Snickerdoodle Pancakes or Scooby Snacks. Those always hit the spot. read more

I ordered the corn beef with eggs and my girlfriend ordered the avocado toast. I liked my food but I felt like something was missing but overall I would get it again. My girlfriend said she absolutely loved her toast, she said it was in the top 3 of her life. The ambiance was standardly nice and clean/organized. Service was quick, there was no wait and the staff were nice. Overall will probably come here again if I'm ever in Tucson again. (I accidentally ate everything before I could take a picture, apologies) read more

The cinnamon roll pancakes really are that good. Sweet, but not cloying! The omelets are delicious if a bit simple, but they do simple very well. Expect longer waits on the weekend, but even still the service is pretty fast. read more

One word- AMAZING! This place is definitely a gem. I had brunch here with colleagues and enjoyed every bit of my first visit to Baja Cafe. Our waiter was friendly and attentive + he took time to explain the menu to us. I ordered the Corned Beef and Eggs. The corned beef was tender and full of flavor. It paired nice with my poached eggs and cheese sauce. All of those ingredients were on top of a hash brown. It was divine! I highly recommend this menu item. I also ordered the S'mores latte. The iced, sweet concoction was delicious. It's a must try for any s'more and/or chocolate lover. This place hit all things for me-great service, flavor, and a great vibe. I'll be sure to stop by the next time I am in Tucson. read more

Finally headed over to try out Baja Cafe on Campbell and 10/10 glad we did! It was packed - always a good sign - but we were seated right away. Our server was also the "bartender" but he stayed on top of it and we were happy with our service. I ordered a iced caramel latte- the menu did say that it had whipped cream and caramel on top and mine did not come with that. But when I asked for whipped cream as a side to add, they took care of that right away. We ordered the lemon blueberry pancake as well as one of the benedicts (Roadrunner) and breakfast sandwich aka Skooby Snak. The pancake was insane, it was so big an incredibly filling. The blueberries were so fresh and the lemon curd was perfectly tarp, and the crispy edges on the pancake were heavenly. This may be the best pancake I have ever eaten. The breakfast sandwich was small, but mighty, and I slammed that down so fast I probably could have eaten three more of them!! The benedict was massive and also very filling - while it was big and very tasty, the price comparison in relation to the other menu items and their size and taste had me struggling. It would absolutely be perfect to share. And that would justify the cost. Otherwise, I would definitely be back for a pancake and a sandwich any day of the week. It's a hustling and bustling kind of place. They turn over the tables quickly and the vibes are chill. read more

The food was incredible, the lemon pancakes were a perfect combination of sweet and not too rich. The burrito was phenomenal, packed full and the cheese crust was a nice touch. The King Kong was a very pleasant surprise and all the flavors meshed together very well. While the food was awesome, the service was even better. In the midst of SLAMMED graduation weekend Sunday morning Chance was AMAZING and will be the reason I came back! read more

While I was visiting Tucson to see my uncles who were visiting a friend, we stopped by here for a wonderful lunch/brunch time. This was a crowd pleaser at least in my family lol each of us got different items but they were all so wonderful. My avocado toast was oh so good. I love how flavorful it is and but still very refreshing. The service was incredible as well, very attentive and friendly server. We just sat on the patio and it was perfect. There was a long wait but no wonder, since it's so good! read more

Wow--this breakfast truly blew me away! There was a short wait when we arrived, but it moved quickly and was absolutely worth it. Our server was super friendly and gave us great recommendations, which we appreciated since it was our first time dining here. I started with the s'mores latte, which was rich, chocolatey, and the perfect way to ease into the meal. For my entrée, I went with the Brisket Caramelo, and honestly, it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the brisket was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We also tried the Corned Beef & Egg, which was another standout--definitely a must-try! To finish things off, we shared the Cinnamon Roll Pancake. We were torn between that and the French toast, and while we didn't try the latter, the pancake was phenomenal--sweet, soft, and full of that warm cinnamon flavor. All in all, I've officially found my new favorite breakfast spot in Tucson. Can't wait to come back read more

Lemon Blueberry pancake ie the bomb, crispy around the edge. Go to favorite in Tucson.

Amazing Experience! The food here is absolutely incredible -- high-end quality with large, satisfying portions. The ambiance is casual and welcoming, which makes the elevated food stand out even more. I had the Liège Waffle, which is no ordinary waffle -- it's made from dough rather than batter, giving it a rich, chewy texture and amazing flavor. My husband ordered the Benedict special, and while it had a lot of components, everything came together beautifully and tasted delicious. Our server, Tyrell, was outstanding -- very knowledgeable about the menu, personable, and even went above and beyond to recommend a local hiking trail that fit our needs. Overall, an excellent dining experience from start to finish. We'll definitely be back! read more

Always a staple when in Tucson, Baja offers SO many yummy breakfast options. Their wait times can speak to that as there is (usually) a wait time to get in here unless you show up early. Showed up around 8am on a Saturday with no wait, yay! My favorite here is their cinnamon roll French toast, although their cinnamon roll pancake is delicious too! And they're well known for their Benedict options also! Fair pricing and delicious always! Good amount of seating options at this location, including outdoor patio seating. read more

Baja Cafe is hands down my favorite breakfast spot in Tucson. I love how the atmosphere is always bustling.

This place just redefined eggs Benedict and I'm so here for it. We tried the Wolverine Benedict and the Southwest Smoked Brisket Tots and both were absolute flavor bombs. Service was timely and the waitress was helpful. Our plates were loaded, especially the brisket, and I would say one meal is a perfect amount to split with two moderately hungry people. I also got immediate FOMO when I saw the guy's cinnamon swirl French toast at the table over, so I'll have to be back to try that. The only downside to our meal was that we went to hike Sabino Canyon immediately after and the food was so delicious that we stuffed ourselves! It probably made the first half of the hike even more challenging but I have zero regrets. read more

I had brunch here with a friend after Christmas and luckily we were able to be seated immediately . It was around 9am yet the inside was almost completely full and there were a few tables out on the patio as well. Our server was great and on top of all our needs. My friend ordered her usual king kong meal and enjoyed it:. I got the breakfast combo with the snickerdoodle pancake. That pancake was good but I think I prefer the cinnamon roll one. By the time we were leaving there was a waitlist going. I would definitely suggest getting there earlier when going for brunch! read more

Beyond my expectations. I've been wanting to go here for a while now and finally did with my son and his girlfriend. The first thing I noticed was the chalkboard suggesting a mimosa or a bloody Mary. We got one of each, wow the bloody Mary was fantastic. I ordered the breakfast tacos, could only finish half my plate. The food portion was big and the food was great. Our service was friendly, had a great food suggestion and we got our drinks and food fast. Wish I would have been here sooner but I got to experience this first with family. They offer an outdoor patio so you can bring your four legged family, I'll be bringing mine next time. Plenty of seating inside and out. I highly recommend this spot. You will not be disappointed. read more

I had probably the best pancake I've ever had in my life. The blueberry pancake with lemon curd is absolutely to die for. It's somehow extremely fluffy and slightly crispy on the edges. AMAZING. We also tried the snickerdoodle pancake and a standard eggs/sausage/hash browns which were nothing crazy, but still really good! The place was packed and it wasn't super decorated, but there was a fun vibe. Definitely would return and get those pancakes! read more

I think Baja Cafe is amazing! I recommend this restaurant to so many friends and if they've been to Baja, they already know it is fantastic food! I'm hungry just thinking about being there and eating! My all time favorite is the corned beef with eggs! The corned beef is the best in Tucson. Seriously, it's always perfection on a plate! We went on a week day during fall break, so it was a happening place to be. We had a short wait but it was absolutely a reasonable amount of time. We had fantastic service from beginning to end! We also took a Snicker doodle pancake to go! They are too good not to get! I sincerely miss the Baja Cafe on the NW side of town because that's my hood but the corned beef is worth the 30 min drive to the Campbell location! read more

I can see why there was a 35-40 wait for a table! This cafe is one of the best I've been to in a while! There is a few bar seats for small parties of 2 or less so I did not have to wait but believe me, it's worth waiting for! I ordered the egg combo with bacon, pancake and hash browns. Everything was cooked to perfection! The strawberry pancakes literally melted in my mouth! I opted for the jalapeño crusted bacon and it was everything I thought it would be. Not too spicy but def a kick! The mimosas was well balanced and they used quality sparkling wine. I ordered a cinnamon roll to go and it was AMAZING. It's huge and satisfying. Also, the staff were friendly and courteous so that added to the pleasant experience here. I will definitely be returning! read more
