    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.

    4 fish tacos and 1 horchata aqua fresca

    I've always been a fan of fish tacos and horchata. It's been awhile since I had fish tacos specifically from Baja Cali. They have improved but the only thing I truly dislike is their onions. They packaged it seperately and I really do not like how it is marinated superrr salty and with loads of black pepper. I think just cut red onions to the side and leaving it would be good enough, or not letting it soak in salt and black pepper. It is over seasoned.

    #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.

    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.

    Great place to eat! They have pretty good deals during the weekday. Javon helped us take our order and he was kind and helpful. The restaurant was clean and well put together. Parking is a bit tight. They have a drive thru if you don't feel like getting out of your car. Best part, everything is made to order!

    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

    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.

    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??

    ***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.

    Ask the Community - Baja Cali Fish & Tacos

    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!

    Hi, Monday - Meatless Mondays $1.00 OFF Tuesday - Fish Taco Tuesdays $.99 at participating… 

    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.

Sonoratown was our first stop as it was highly recommended by my boyfriend's brother, and it did not disappoint. It immediately earned a spot in our top five favorite taco spots for carne asada in all of Southern California! The location that we went to is located in between Elysium DTLA and Perfumeria Starlux on E 8th St in downtown LA. There is only paid(?) street parking around the area that could be extremely difficult to find during work days. Because we couldn't snag a spot, my friends and I opted for takeout and didn't end up eating until about 30 minutes later. Despite the travel time, the tacos were still absolutely incredible--I can only imagine how spectacular it tastes fresh! My friends and I ordered the carne asada tacos, and my boyfriend opted for the cabeza. Before I even took a full bite, I tasted a piece of the loose carne asada and was blown away; it was perfectly cooked with a wonderful tenderness and deep smokiness. The use of a single, thin, handmade flour tortilla--rather than the standard double corn--was a total game-changer and exactly how I preferred my tacos. The salsas were equally impressive, offering fantastic flavor and a great kick. My boyfriend's cabeza taco was just as standout, featuring super-tender meat with a rich, savory profile. Wowowow! Between the exceptional meat quality, bold flavors, and great value, this is easily one of the best taco spots I've visited. It's a huge bummer that they don't have a location down in San Diego, but we will definitely be back!

Don't forget to take a picture by the "Cinco Puntos" sign on the wall and the well-known tree nearby! The food was edible, I ordered a carnitas taco with chicharrón. The meat itself was flavorful, chicharron nice and crunchy and I liked that you get to choose your own toppings. The tortillas are handmade, which many people will appreciate, although they were a little thicker than I personally prefer. If you enjoy authentic, handmade tortillas, this place may be more your style. The service was the highlight of our visit. Everyone was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and kind. It was an extremely hot day, and one of the ladies even gave my daughter a small bag of ice to play with and cool off, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Thank you for going the extra mile. There is a small parking lot, and we were able to find street parking right in front near the outdoor tables. The outside seating area was perfectly fine for enjoying our meal. The biggest downside for me was the cleanliness inside the restaurant. While nothing prevented us from eating there, I felt the interior could really benefit from a deep cleaning. Overall, I'm glad we visited and experienced such a well-known East L.A. landmark. While I probably wouldn't return because it wasn't quite my personal preference, I can still recommend it to anyone looking for authentic carnitas, handmade tortillas, and a piece of East Los Angeles history.
