    There was no parking in the front, Luckily there's secret parking in the back next to the dollar tree. Not sure if it was a long wait or I was a bit hangry, The family Infront of me where taking so long to decide that the cashier left the register. Ugghhh, can't blame the cashier since it's not her fault. I got the Friday special fish and chips and a Cali burrito. The burrito is absolutely stacked, real heavy and delicious. The fish and chips come with two 12" fried fillets and a bed or fries with 2 different sauces and lemons. Baja Cali also serves beer, they have indoor and outdoor seating areas.

    I love, love, love the taquitos de papa. I've had them four times at this point and they NEVER disappoint. My guy orders the two-taco plate with grilled fish and loves it. My teen son (who is picky af) ordered the birria burrito during our previous visit. The fact that he practically unhinged his jaw to swallow it whole signaled to me he liked it. He said, "It's good." which in teen-talk means it was amazing because everything else merely gets "It's mid." from him. They really do have the "best damn fish tacos." (Today's order is in to-go boxes because we were in a hurry to get to the movies, so I called my order in.)

    Baja Cali! Who remembers the OG spot with the drive thru that has that car wash spot next door? u kno.. the one that got famous for their one dollar fish tacos on Tuesdays? Well now their Taco Tuesday fish tacos are $2 dollars plus tax! Not really impressed with the food too much but still a bit impressed they are consistent with their quality and service. on the north side of main st. This restaurant have two entrances. One in the front on Main Street and one at the back where the dollar tree parking lot is on North Stoneman Ave. It's small and tables are sometimes clean. But the workers are so nice here! I couldn't get the names of these two gentleman that didn't speak much English but they gave me so much free salsa when I asked for extra. It was a Monday or Tuesday I believe. Restrooms are down the hall. The food is not bad! I can have it or survive without it but it doesn't disappoint! Just don't get their carnitas. Go to a taco truck for those. The agua frescas here look pretty good but a little too sweet for my liking. Not my go to but it's nice to have once in a while. Oh and they have this new green spicy sauce actually gives a good kick if your into that. Thank you so much for being nice Briana! Hard worker!

    Food was good. The restaurant is very clean and so are the restrooms. The portions are good as well. The service was great!! Yadira made suggestions for us to try. The birria taco comes in a handmade tortilla and it was free today. The fish tacos were good and I recommend their cucumber lime chia agua fresca.

    They have very excellent service here. I work in the service industry and this is one of the best service I've had. Vito in the kitchen made our food with care and passion and Christine made sure that we were taken care of!

    Favorite fish tacos in the area! And this location by far is my favorite as well. Crispy fish tacos and fresh ceviche tostada. The restaurant was very clean, as well as the restroom. Service was great! Christine was very friendly and attentive. Offering condiments before I even had the chance to ask. Made my visit very satisfied and will definitely be a regular. Thanks for a great meal Christine and Pedro!

    Stumbled upon this little spot last minute while walking around Alhambra and decided to give it a try. service was amazing friendly and welcoming. The food was fresh, flavorful, and the portions were really generous. Everything we ordered was really good, especially the tacos and seasoned fries nice casual little spot to grab some good food they also serve alcohol and have TVs where you can watch a game.

    Surf N Turf burrito is the way to go. Tacos are great as well. Service has always been friendly and the establishment is clean. Has outdoor seating and they sell beer and even coffee. The fries are always perfectly crunchy and light when ordered for dine in. I'll update this review once I try the soups because they have a variety of seafood soups and even pozole and menudo every day. With Baja being so close to the theater nearby I think it'll be a good idea to take a burrito to go if they let you bring food into the movies! There are many food options nearby so I think this place is a little tucked away and underrated so it's worth a shot if you can't make up your mind about what to eat before or after a movie, you won't regret it. Thanks to the staff and management for being great.

    Got hungry before going to see a movie and found this place around the corner. Didn't have much expectations but it was really good. The location is great and the staff was helpful and gave recommendations. They have a fish taco promotion on Tuesdays which was great. The food was filling and had a lot of flavor. I would definitely recommend going here.

    What you should expect

    I would have been extremely embarrassed to serve this to anyone. Paying $5 for scraps. Absolutely absurd!! I understand why they were empty

    This place makes the best shrimp cocktail. I also love their guacamole and chips. The service is fast and friendly. The dining is fast casual. They have convenient take out. They also have tables for indoor and outdoor dining. You can park for free at the Regal movie theater parking structure. It's just a quick walk. Next time I want to try their fish tacos. They have so many items for Mexican food including meat tacos and taquitos.

    Fish & Chips

    I saw the fish and chips on a TikTok feed and it looked amazing and the guy was going on and on, well clearly that dude has no clue what fish and shift is supposed to taste like. I was really disappointed that I drove quite a distance from where I live to try it. Fish was overcooked & It has a breading VS a batter coating . Looked delicious coming out, the flavor just wasn't there. It tasted like it needed salt.. I didn't mention it to one of the gentlemen working there. I don't know if he was a manager cook crew leader whatever, he admitted that yeah it can get overcooked because of pieces are so big. He did offer to replace it with something else props for that. Which it was that gesture right there that would make me come back and try something else. I did order one of their Al Pastor tacos. Definitely definitely doesn't have the Mexican flare flavor. That is a big big pass..

    We came today to try the surf and turf bowls here (Mexican rice and refried beans), it was pretty good and filling! We ordered at the front and the food came out pretty quickly. We had exceptional service from the moment we stepped in from a blond cashier/server 9/14/25 7PM shift (I should've asked a name). She was putting on the football game for guests and offered us a whole platter of sauces/lemons/pepper. It really gave us a full picture of the flavors of the bowl. Ambiance is a nice clean small indoor setting with about 4 group tables. I'd come back!

    20 bucks for a carne asada burrito with extra meat.. looks more like extra rice and dry

    What kind of fish do they use?

    Do they still have cheese quesadillas?

    Where and how I can get the daily special online?

    Why did the restaurant in Alhambra stop giving military discounts? That was one of the main reasons I enjoyed going there. Now they said we have to be in uniform.

    Sorry I have no idea.You should talk to their Corp.Office.

    Can we make Phone orders?

    Yes

    How are the shrimp cocktails?

    Very good. Generous portions.

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!

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.
