I'm a local. live in Irvine. I've been here countless times and this place never misses. The food taste amazing, quallity is great, portions are hearty, and the service is always top notch with friendly caring staffs. I always get the beer battered fish taco, the blackened grill fish taco, and loaded nachos with chicken. All of their sauces at the sauce bar hit the spot. If you love fish tacos, I can't think of anywhere else to go than here. read more

Ordered a carne asada burrito and somehow ended up with a veggie burrito instead. Not even close to what I asked for. I didn't pay for a burrito full of vegetables -- I ordered carne asada and expected to get exactly that. Mistakes happen, but this one should have been obvious before handing out the order. Really disappointing experience, especially when you're craving something specific and get the complete opposite. Definitely makes me think twice about coming back. read more

I can't believe I've never been to this location before. I went around 12:30pm on a Wednesday and while it was packed, we snagged a spot on their patio. The service was wonderful and surprisingly fast too. I love the self serve salsa bar with so many options as well as limes and lemons. I ordered a chicken bowl with a side of chips a guacamole. Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. When I'm in the area, I will for sure be back! read more

We visited this evening and had a very disappointing experience. The staff member with spiky hair who assisted us was unfriendly, didn't greet us, and came across as rude throughout the interaction. Based on this visit, the customer service was poor and the food quality did not meet expectations. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. read more

Asked my fam what I could pick up for dinner and of course they wanted Baja Fish Tacos! We LOVE!!! We were able to call it in and as I waited for the order to be ready I stocked up on some fresh salsa and toppings at the salsa bar. My fellow vegetarians- don't miss their wet veggie burrito. Everything was perfectly delicious and fresh! Staff always friendly. Prices are fair. Was happy to see it was busy because this biz deserves it. I'm sure I will see you soon BFT! read more

After seeing one of our YouTuber friends' videos where he's enjoying fish tacos in San Diego (lucky guy) we thought of doing the same thing in OC. As we had to be in Laguna Hills for business purposes, Baja popped up as a nice opportunity. Place looks inviting, nice interior. Ordering was quite easy, Ensenada style tacos for my better half, blackened fish for me. $5.50 for each would have been a shocker awhile back but OK for an experience it's fine to stomach. A side of chips however is $5.00 which IS rather shocking.... but what are tacos without chips and salsa right? Two waters to complete the meal and it was good, fish prepped and seasoned nicely and the soft tacos not soggy. Earth moving, no but it does the job. What was nice though, 1. we had proper plates and flatware, none of the plastic stuff that gets disposed and 2. the place was kept very clean. Recommended? Yes. read more

The best fish burrito ever!!! The staff is very nice and i love how fresh all every thing is. they have a salsa bar and the green and red sauce and even pickled vegetebles. My friends got fish tacos and a bowl chicken. I had a bite and everything tasted so good. Inside was very clean and bathrooms clean too. I have been to other locations and always good. Yummy and Fresh! read more

I used to live in Dana Point and now live in Hollywood. One of the things I have missed most is Baja Fish Tacos. I was in Irvine for work and decided to get to Baja and see if it still held up. Man it sure did. Just as good if not better. My go to is the shrimp burrito, wet, with black beans. Perfection. It always looks too big but I manage to finish most if not all of it. It still rocks! read more

Crunchy.. very disappointing. We buy our 9 employees lunch every Friday and Baja Fish Tacos has been in the rotation the last 5 years. Normally their food is great. I'm assuming they changed their meat vender or bought cheap carne asada. It was a red flag when the first bite of my burrito was crunchy. The next 5 bites were pure fat and tendons. I ended up throwing most of it away. Paying $20 for a steak burrito, they really need to use better quality meat. Don't think they'll be back in the rotation read more

Baja Fish Tacos - Carne Asada Burrito fat and tendons. Inedible - Seafood Near Me - Laguna Hills, California

Love this place. We get the carne asada tacos often and they really load them up. Great salsa bar (not sure what to call this but it's not just salsa) which takes this to the 5 star rating for me. Good inside seating and patio. Always great service here read more

After seeing all the good reviews, I've tried Baja Fish Tacos a few times and still can't figure out why everyone raves about it. I've ordered their charbroiled fish burrito and their charbroiled fish unwrap and the food seems kind of bland. One time, the rice and beans were left out of my burrito, which made it super small and even more bland. I haven't tried their tacos, so maybe I've just been sleeping on their best item. The staff have always been super friendly and there always seemed to be offering samples, which was nice. Maybe I will give them another chance and get the fish tacos and plenty of salsa. read more

Food was fresh. Ordered enchilada Combo with chicken. Portions are generous. It's a big enchilada. Bean and cheese burrito was great and inexpensive. A lot of places make the beans too salty. These were just right. Also got 3 soft tacos (blackened fish, chicken, grill fish) which were very hearty. No skimping on ingredients . Service was quick! Food came out as soon as we found a table and sat down. Staff very friendly. read more

Making an update to previous review on my last experience and now changing to 5 star. This is based on the response I received from the business making the wrong right! Excellent and prompt response from Baja Fish and their commitment to quality will keep me a forever customer. Thank you, Oscar. read more

The food is bland and basic. The prime rib taco meat wasn't cut, it's just a big slab of fatty meat in a tortilla that's low quality. read more

Went here after climbing with a good friend. We definitely worked up an appetite and Baja Fish Tacos delivered! The staff were super sweet and the food came out fast, hot, and fresh. Delicious. I got the blackened fish taco and the carne asada taco and they were absolutely delicious. There's an indoor and outdoor area, both of which are quite spacious. There's even a TV in both areas showing various games and matches. Pretty cool spot! The restroom was also super tidy -- major plus! read more

This restaurant was super convenient for us. The parking appeared busy, but there was room. Even though it was at lunch time on a weekend, there was plenty of seating. You order at the cashier (see my pic of the cashier/ordering station), and they'll deliver your meal. The environment was a bit noisy: concrete floors and steel chairs. I did like the themed music, but if you want quiet they're a bit noisy. The staff was quick and efficient. We ordered the Charbroiled Fish Bowl and the Chicken Bowl (they do look identical - the lettuce covers all the proteins). Not pictured, is their self-serve salsa station; which was pretty good and inclusive. We always like to mix and match the salsas. As you can from my pics, the bowls were very similar: fresh lettuce, vibrant salsa (fairly mild) and a layer of beans on the bottom. Both the fish and chicken had the appropriate quantity and were mildly flavored (hence it's good to have a salsa bar to dial in the flavor to you). Both proteins were quite tender. read more

Came here for lunch today. It was a late lunch but there were still a few tables with diners in the restaurant. Got my usual, Baja bowl with chicken. Chicken was mostly burned when I got my order. I do not like burned meat because it's very unhealthy for us. Walked up to the counter to let them know. The gal went into the kitchen to let them know. I just wanted them to replace the burned meat but the kitchen ended up making another order. It was delicious though after they fixed it but I didn't see much beans in the bowl, mostly rice. I'll just let them know next time to give me more beans when ordering. read more

Was in the mood for a fish taco and stumbled upon this place. Unfortunately, I was highly disappointed. The tacos I got, beer batter, were bland. Having two tortillas was also too much. It was missing maybe some salt? I don't know felt like I was eating bland mush. read more

Super casual Mexican food place. Order at the counter and they bring it to your table. They clean up for you. Not the friendliest encounter with any of the workers but also not anything bad. Food is really good! Hearty portions too. There were a couple of flies by the salsa bar and one that hovered at the table so that's not always great. read more

Who wouldn't love an amazing taco place! They have papas tacos, gluten free cheese enchiladas (if you know a celiac or someone gluten intolerant), nachos, soup, bowls, (I love their blackened fish bowl), and their salsa bar is amazing too. They also serve beer. Good bang for your buck! read more

This place is a solid lunch spot. I judge a Mexican taco/burrito place by their salsa bar and tortillas. Tortillas ain't bad and I really like the salsa bar, especially the charred green salsa. They are quick, the food is good, salsa great as I mentioned... The burritos are expensive though with $17 bucks for carne asada last I checked, the $13 charbroiled chicken I think is fair for how big it is. Burritos do come standard with guac so that helps justify. Overall still recommend this lunch spot! read more

This is consistently good fast casual food. I typically have the two taco combo with the fish tacos. It comes with rice (awesome and buttery) and beans (black or pinto). This is a good portion of food. They also have a salsa bar with nice selection of heat. This place never disappoints. read more

Grabbed an early dinner on Friday and this place was buussssy. A lot of ordering to go but a good amount of people dining in too. Indoor and outdoor seating is offered, very spacious inside. Service is fast, employees are on it! I ordered the 2 tacos plate, shrimp and empanizado fish, with rice and beans. Definitely liked the shrimp taco more than the fish, rice was really flavorful and the salsas were delicious! Spicy which I loved. Chips and guacamole were yummy. This place was worth the stop! read more

The manager reached out, apologized, and fixed the issue for us. We did appreciate the apology.

Horrible experience yesterday ! Went with my family to eat and they had us waiting for more than 20 minutes for our entire order ! They said they ran out of rice and when we got our food the rice was all wet and still raw . What kind of restaurant does this . Horrible experience . Not coming back . Don't recommend. read more

Best value and quality. The fish bowl is healthy, fresh, tasty, and cost-effective. Same with whole menu (asada, shrimp, ribeye, chicken). I come multiple times a week. The food and service is unbeatable. Always a line for a good reason. Try the spicy onions. read more

Still eating here and the food is still excellent!! Don't forget to try the Ensenada style fish tacos. Nachos and enchiladas are great too. read more

The food was incredible. The service was quick and nice. They even had a soccer game.

Noticed a hair on my bowl after grabbing my first bite. Was asked to send a picture & only was offered to return for a new one for the inconvenience. Once there asked Maria the manager if that's all she would be doing for the inconvenience and drive back & she offered some chips. Great customer service. read more

They no longer have their blackened chicken! I'd always get two sides of blackened chicken but learned it's no longer on the menu. So I just got the grilled chicken. Quality was still good but the portion of the side was smaller. Please bring back the blackened chicken! It's the main reason I came here! read more
