They recently increased the Tuesday fish taco special from 8 for $14.99 to 4 for $9.99. I ordered 12 fish tacos, so I should have received three boxes with four tacos in each. When I opened the first box, I only saw three tacos. At first, I thought it was just a mistake, but after opening the other two boxes, I found that each box only had three tacos as well. In total, I only received 9 tacos instead of the 12 I paid for. I'm not sure whether this was intentional, and I don't want to jump to conclusions, but it definitely left a very bad impression. read more

I had the two fish taco combo, it came with fries. Tacos seemed a tad under cooked, the fries were crispy and crunchy. I really liked the fries. We also had the seafood tower, the presentation was nice but some of the shrimp were undercooked ( they looked/were grey). There wasn't any music when we sat down but they ended up turning music on while we were there. Service was fair. read more

Here for the $1 taco tuesday. Other than that, too expensive! Great price but they do get greasy. I get sick if eat too much, 3-4 is max. Fish not crispy but ok. They're stingy with the salsa too. We asked and got 2 tiny tubs for 2 orders. They also don't automatically give the peppers. Did not ask, did not get. For me, definitely need it to cut the fattiness. Shrimp burrito barely have any shrimp. Loaded with rice. Too much carb, too much food in general, unless I need the energy to do alot of labor work. read more

Service is all over the place. Lack of management. Food is very hit or miss. Undercooked or undercooled. That's a health hazard. I've come here several times and every time food is different. Ambiance is brightly lit and music is loud and can't have conversation with your guests. They don't answer the phone because cashier said they don't have time? Opening another location less than a mile away for over a year now? Furthermore, a lot of the reviews on here are fake or posted by somebody affiliated with them. You can always tell by the amount of friends or followers and history. that the Then the reviewer never writes another review again that's a fake review. Be forewarned. read more

What started as a Lent-friendly meal has officially become a weekly tradition, Baja Cali's potato tacos are that good. Perfectly crispy on the outside, creamy and flavorful on the inside, and topped with all the right fixings, they hit the spot every single time. It's rare to find a vegetarian option that feels this satisfying, but these tacos are crave-worthy. Add some salsa and a squeeze of lime, and you've got a little pocket of perfection. We originally stopped by looking for a meatless option during Lent, and now we can't imagine a week without them. If you haven't tried the potato tacos yet, do yourself a favor and make the trip. Baja Cali, you've got us hooked. read more

Dozo is located in the quiet Monrovia plaza next to Good fortune supermarket. So there's plenty of parking available. The interior was very beautifully designed, modern, clean and spacious. Staff were very nice and attentive. We arrived on a Sunday night for an early dinner at 4:30pm to an empty restaurant but customers slowly piled in. We loved that sashimi was included in the AYCE option because there's no AYCE restaurant in LA (at least we haven't been) that has that and the quality was pretty good. They even had unlimited ikura, raw shrimp, bluefin tuna and so much more include!

Do you want Baja Cali to cater an event? Don't waste your time - look for a different vendor. My fiancee and I wanted to cater fish tacos for our wedding and reached out to Baja Cali for information. We first reached out in AUGUST 2022. Someone by the name of Luci started the process for us and directed us to Marielena - the "event coordinator." I reached out to Marielena multiple times over the course of two months and was ghosted. Radio silence. I gave up on them but in JANUARY 2023 my fiancee decided to give it another try. This time, Marielena reached out and restarted the process for us again. She said that she would print out a quote for us so that we can look over it and put down a deposit to secure their service. From this point on, we never heard back again. Radio silence again. It is now almost MARCH 2023 and we've tried calling many different people multiple times for the past 4 weeks only to be ghosted constantly. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. DON'T ASK BAJA CALI TO CATER YOUR EVENT. read more

Driving by the location many times, one afternoon decided to try their tacos. I believe it was Taco Tuesday. Got in line and ordered a few tacos and a couple of drinks. One thing I noticed was the staff was very rude. Kinda brushed it off. Well after the meal, which was decent, my wife needed a "to go" container. She walked up to the counter and the lady behind the counter, no further information, told her in a demeaning loud tone, "What do you want!". She was stunned but told her she needed a to go container, which was given to her. I don't care how good the food is. If the employees are rude, we just don't ever go back, and I mean never; even if we were starving. We never went back. read more

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this location due to the rude and unprofessional behavior of an employee named Eddie (cashier). I was overcharged .50 for each individual chile and when I politely questioned the charge, Eddie was dismissive and condescending. Instead of resolving the issue, he insisted the charge was standard and brushed off my concerns. The attitude was completely uncalled for and made me feel unwelcome as a customer. I've been a loyal customer, but this experience left a very sour taste. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses how customers are treated -- especially when it comes to honest billing and respectful service. read more

Great food and great customer service. They always have specials and it is very clean in here. I love the fish tacos and the agua fresca, they always have a variety of different flavors like strawberry horchata or orange passionfruit, or orange mango. My favorite thing is coming in to try all the newly featured items...like the a la diabla shrimp or the birria quesatacos and most recently, they opened a new breakfast restaurant next door called Girasol Cocina Mexicana. An entirely different concept with a different menu, the salsas there are AMAZING. Can't wait to see what else they will do! read more

I was already in the area and when it was time for dinner I was walking around to see what looked good. I was so excited to see Stinkin Crawfish. It was weird though because I went to the restroom to wash my hands, and when I came back, they gave another group the table they gave me. I picked a different table, but I thought that was odd. After a quick glance at their menu I saw that they had Happy Hour is Monday to Friday from 4 to 6:30pm. It was a bit pass 6pm so I put in a Dozen Oysters (HH $15 | regular $33) while I looked at the rest of the menu. Ugh regret. These were SO BAD!! First off, the majority was not shucked, it was still attacked to the shell. I turned to the table next to me since I saw they had ordered oysters and I asked if theirs were shucked, and they said some were and some weren't. Oh goodness, so inconsistent. Then they also warned me that they got charged regular pricing instead of happy hour pricing. Also they didn't give me any utensils... so I had to go grab a plastic fork myself cause no staff was in sight and I had to scrap these oysters off their shells. First one not good. Second one, I drowned it in marinara sauce, still not good. Third one... SO BAD I SPLIT IT OUT... Fourth one, ALSO BAD. Okay I don't want to get sit... I'm over this... I just set it aside and covered it with one napkin to indicate I'm over it. Honestly they can see there were many untouched if they wanted to ask me how I liked them. Maybe I should have left but I made the mistake of ordering more food. I ordered a Raspberry Iced Tea ($3.75). Can't really mess that up but I want to point out that no refills were offered my whole time there. I did their Build Your Own with 1lb Shrimp ($17.75), 1lb Crawfish ($11 when added on to an order), with the Make it Awesome ($5.75) which is 1 corn, 2 potatoes, 3 sausages all in their Garlic Butter Mild. Okay... garlic... butter... can't go wrong right?? Well I'm wrong wrong wrong. I don't know HOW they managed to serve me the blandest cajun meal of my life. I am beyond baffled. I see the garlic. The color looks like butter. Definitely not mild, more like zero spice and zero seasonings. Even the limes they gave were dried out and bitter. My theory on the bland garlic was that it was prepped and frozen for so long it lost its' flavor. The seafood itself didn't taste fresh either. Bleh. It really needed a better sauce to mask the musky taste. Oh and the sausage was BURNT. Sigh. I think service tried to be nice. They did come and ask if I needed anything else. But honestly I didn't even want the food in front of me, let alone anything else. At the end they provided complimentary dessert to every guest. It was like a deep fried oreo with a scoop of ice cream on the day I went. The dessert was good. Just nothing else. Oh wait for it... when I got the check, I was also overcharged for the oysters, ringing up at $33 instead of the $1.50/oyster HH price being $15. The waitress was surprised and she even expressed how that happened to another customer (I know) previously and she had asked "him", who I assume is a manager or boss, to fix it in the system. Sigh... Apparently he didn't. The portions were fair, the pricing is fair... WHEN THEY RING YOU UP CORRECTLY. it just tastes bad. Low production quality. Maybe they are able to keep these prices by buying low quality product. Regardless I DEFINITELY won't be coming back. This meal, or rather the stuff that was edible, is not worth the calories. I rarely give 1 star reviews but I almost considered it... but no one was mean and I didn't get sick (because I spit up the bad oysters and stopped eating them). This is such a generous 2 stars review for the mess I had to deal with.

Of coarse, this was not the only reason for my final decision to end my relationship with Taco Ensenada. They've been raising their menu prices a little too much in recent years. To a lesser extent, what Mexican resturant offers sushi rolls?! Stay in your lane! Customers don't patronize a Mexican restaurant to get Japanese food. Taco Ensenada has lost their way since my discovery of them over 10 years ago. That is why I will seek alternatives--there are plenty out there. Although, I am not knocking their food quality and offerings, which is still fine.
