    When I am craving fish tacos, this is where I go. Their fish tacos are by far my favorite item to order from here. They taste even greater on Taco Tuesdays. Currently, these are their daily weekday deals: Monday - Buy 2 get 1 free taco sonora Tuesday - 8 fish tacos for $14.99 or $2 each fish taco Wednesday - $9.99 fish burrito Thursday - 8 shrimp tacos for $16.99 or $2.99 each shrimp taco Friday - $14.99 fish & chips All of these deals give you a pretty good bang for your buck, considering the big portions. Separately, I really like their agua fresca drinks, which you can usually add on to your order for only a few bucks. Good value from this restaurant, but it does feel unorganized during peak hours. There is no separate line for pick ups and in-store orders, so you will end up having to wait in the line even if your order is ready.

    #bajacalifishandtacos #birriatacos 4/24/26 We have a winner! Loved the fish tacos, Quesabirria, and Hubby loved the shrimp bowl. Everything was fresh and delicious. The green salsa was very so darn good that I saved some for later. Service was friend & everything was made to order. Our food was ready in a few minutes and everything was just so fresh. My favorite was the fish tacos. I also had fish Chicharron and the.CDMX taco combo with fries & a drink. The shop is fairly clean. We dined in and enjoyed our food. We see ourselves coming for more. Street parking. Drive thru available, decent prices.

    Daily deals

    I believe this is the original location. It has a small drive-thru. Street parking only but I've always been able to find convenient parking. Fish tacos used to be $2 many moons ago. As of 6/2/26, the price of fish tacos (on Tuesdays) are now $2.79 (40% increase) or 4 for $9.99 (25% increase) . Fish tacos are pretty good. They no longer have an open salsa bar. Instead, they come in little packets like Taco Bell now. The mild (green) and medium (red) salsas were ok. I did not try their spicy salsa because it did NOT look the same as the photo on display. I've never seen yellow salsa before... definitely not fresh (possibly overdue) Everything else was good. Clean restaurant. Good and fast service. The packets of salsa really rubbed me the wrong way. I'm not sure if I'll be coming back again unless they have fresh salsa bar again.

    Meat Bowl (Asada & Birria)
    Jonnie N.

    Baja Cali Fish & Tacos is one of those no-frills chains where the food truly speaks for itself. Ordered the asada bowl and the birria bowl, and both meats were distinctly flavorful. The birria was richer and deeper in flavor, while the asada had a peppery, slightly lemony brightness that made it really stand out. Both bowls came loaded with fresh pico de gallo and guac, and the red and green sauces added that much-needed heat kick to bring everything together. Simple, satisfying, and packed with flavor. Next on my list: the ceviche and the caldo.

    Thank you Gaby at the drive threw. You are very sweet and kind . I will definitely be returning to this location. By the way.... The watermelon agua fresca was delicious and super refreshing. You deserve a raise The employees at this location are the best!!!

    I wish the service was consistent as their food. The food is always fresh and well prepared. The service is hit or miss. I don't mind waiting for my food don't mind paying over $30. If the service would put salsa, chilies, onions, and lemon in my bag when asked. I don't want the service to roll their eyes at me because I had to ask twice for it. Then there are times when they tell me I put in the lemon onions in what kind of salsa would you like. If that would change I would change my stars.

    They changed their fries!!! Nooo, it's not the same go back to the other fries you had it was much more crunchy. I visit Baja Cali like twice a week and when they suddenly changed their fries I was a little sad. The fish tacos are still really good. Not sure if it's a change in the management, I see some new faces. For the most part the vibe and everything else is pretty much the same so can't complain. Just the fries

    ***03-03-26*** Busier today than my other visits and received nothing but all-star customer service. It's always a great vibe here. The employees are down to earth and overall real cool. My guy Nuni had us try 2 drinks today. One tasted like honey dew and the other was like some cucumber drink. Fire !!! And they were freshly made too. Surf & Turf bowl is a must try.

    Noooooo....... I didn't visit twice in two weeks. Delicious. Especially the fish chicharron. That was an incredible discovery for me. It tastes great. Tacos made fresh, friendly service, I enjoyed both visits. Nothing unique or crazy genuine about the other tacos but they are good. Nice cool environment to sit and eat.

    I have been a regular customer of Baja Cali for a long time. I love their fish tacos and shrimp tacos. Today I was curious with their potato tacos. I've tried potato tacos from other places and it was pretty good. So today was the day for the special 3 potato tacos for $9.99 It tasted decent however the size was so small! It was a decent appetizer for all of us. We had to eat something else after the appetizer. Maybe make them a little bigger??

    $2 fish taco on Tuesdays. Good size piece of fish. Really good deal. Ample street parking.

    Went here for the taco Tuesday deal it's $7.50 for 5 fish tacos. Found parking on the street and there was a long line already when I came at 6pm. Of course, I had to still try it and waited a bit but from what I saw on everyone else's plate it looked very well fried. The plate was incredible and the taste was so good. The fish was very tasty and fried in such a way that made sure that it wasn't super dry. I like the outdoor seating as well and parking wasn't my super difficult but I did need to find parking on the side.

    I ordered the Churros Fries and to me... it was not that good at all. Of course the picture made it look so delicious but when you order it and it arrives on your table, it's not good at all. They were made thin to look like French fries and it was just so hard and crunchy and was not good at all. Everything else on their menu is Delicious and Great! But it was just the Churros Fries for me. I feel like they should just make regular sized Churros instead of baby thin French fries.

    What kind of fish do you use?

    Is there still daily specials?

    Yeah, Monday-Friday they have a different deal

    Is this restaurant open or modified hours during the Covid 19 pandemic?

    I've gone at night around 830pm and they were open. So I think they are still doing regular business hours.

    Hi, does anyone have a list of all the specials for each day? Also, do they also apply for drive-thru and take outs? Thanks a bunch!

    How is the shrimp cocktail?

    Really good!

    Do they allow dogs in outdoor seating?

    We sure do! Dogs at our outdoor patio is perfectly fine

    Is there a new location in Pasadena on Washington Blvd?

    Hi Claire - We are opening our Pasadena location this Friday.

    Does the Tuesday 99c special only include the fish taco?

    Tuesday is 99c fish tacos. Thursday is 99c meat (carne asada, al pastor, carnita, chicken) taco.

    So apparently i can call in my order and then cut in front of the line?

    Hi yes it's just like Starbucks. You call in your order and you go right to the front of the line to pick up your order. They made it very convenient for people phoning in their orders.

    Is this a cash only taco stand?

Carnitas Tacos: The warm corn tortillas contain chopped pork shoulder that has been crisped up on the flattop. The simple dressing of a pickled jalapeno and pickled carrots with cilantro allows you to focus on the flavor of the carnitas. The meat is tender, rich and juicy, while also crispy. Carnitas Mulitas Aporkalypse: If you are really hungry, a mulitas will always hit the spot. Two large tortillas are covered in cheese to form a thin, crispy, cheesy crust that extends past the edges. More gooey cheese is filled between the tortillas, along onions, cilantro, and carnitas. If you select the Aporkalypse, you are signing up for an explosion of flavor that is provided by all the meats. There is an incredible assortment of pork butt, pork belly, pork skin, and burnt ends. The spectrum of textures is unrivaled from soft and succulent to crunchy and shattering. The slow cooking respects the ingredients and offers up the fullest expression of pork flavor. Parking: This location has a large parking lot.

The menu is quite simple, but beware that no prices are listed on the main menu, but they are on the paper menus. They accept Apple Pay/credit cards. I ordered the asada burrito and the pollo caramelo and added the grilled poblano (as recommended on Yelp!). The tortillas were the true stars -- soft, nice chew, with a buttery mouth feel (probably lard). The fillings were just ok. The inside reminded me of a Taco Bell 7 layer burrito -- a lot going on but all the flavors kinda blend together. I (incorrectly) thought the beans were refried, but they are not. Whatever is going on inside, I didn't find much structure. The burrito was the best. The caramelo was a lazily folded burrito. I read that it was like a quesadilla, but I couldn't disagree more. I would skip this next time. I spent $25 and it was a lot of food, but I wasn't impressed, especially given the hype and the fact that LA should really be the pinnacle of Mexican food. Not sure if I'll make a second trip here.

    What a great find!…read more We stopped by East Los Tacos for lunch and decided to try their keto menu instead of breakfast. We ordered the keto burrito, a keto chorizo taco, and a keto carne asada taco, and every single item was packed with flavor. The meats were well-seasoned, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the portions were satisfying without making you feel weighed down. The real surprise was the salsa bar. If you're a salsa lover, you'll probably spend a few minutes deciding which ones to try. They have a great selection, but the avocado salsa absolutely stole the show. It was creamy, fresh, and had just the right amount of kick. I found myself going back for more. The restaurant itself is spacious with plenty of seating, and everything was spotless. Our food came out quickly, and the staff was friendly and welcoming, giving the place that comfortable family-owned atmosphere that keeps you coming back. Even though we didn't order breakfast, it's impossible not to notice their "East Los Pantry" menu, served daily from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. What makes it especially interesting is that it's prepared by cooks from the original Pantry restaurant after it closed following a change in ownership. If you miss the old Pantry, you'll definitely want to check it out. The menu features omelets, French toast, and many of the classic breakfast favorites that made the original so popular. Whether you're following a keto lifestyle or just looking for really good Mexican food, East Los Tacos delivers. Between the delicious food, incredible salsa bar, clean restaurant, and friendly service, this place earned a return visit from us. Next time, we're coming back for breakfast!
