This is a very popular place for fish tacos, burritos, and platters. They have chicken and steak as well, but I think the emphasis is on the fish. I had the blackened fish burrito. I found it very good. There was plenty of fish and it was very tasty. I thought it was a little in the dry side, though. I also had the charbroiled fish taco as well to try it out. I think the blackened was better, but adding some salsa from the salsa bar helped. My friend ordered the fish platter and tortilla soup. He said he gets it frequently and thinks it's great. Service was also good and there's lots of seating both inside and outside. read more

I stopped by for some fish tacos and was not disappointed--the food was delicious and the quality was matched by the excellent service. Even though the person at the register was juggling a heavy influx of customers and phone calls, they remained incredibly apologetic, attentive, and kind. That level of hospitality really stands out! The atmosphere is super chill and casual, making it a great spot for a relaxed lunch or dinner. A few highlights: * The Salad Bar: Very well-kept, fresh, and clean. * The Hot Sauce: If you aren't looking for something that blows your head off, you'll love their sauces. They have great flavor without being over-the-top spicy. The staff here makes you feel truly welcome. I'll definitely be back for "Round 2" to explore more of the menu! read more

Solid, reliable spot in Santa Ana. I've had lunch here five days in a row and it never misses. The chicken taco combo and the quesadillas are my go-tos; always fresh and paired perfectly with their guacamole. The inside can get pretty noisy during the lunch rush, especially on Mondays and Fridays. If it's too crowded, grab a table under the umbrellas outside. Great value for around $20.00 and plenty of free parking. read more

PARKING (5/5): It's a BIG parking lot. Shouldn't have any issues. AMBIANCE (4/5): They play music loudly here. It's bigger than it looks! Goes really far back and has a TON of tables! FOOD (4/5): $11 CHIPS & GUACAMOLE: they give you a tray of fresh chips and a little plastic container of guac. It's yummy, but not seasoned much. $8 RIBEYE TACO: this was their special taco! It's definitely on the pricey side for a single taco, but they do put a big piece of ribeye inside and a hefty scoop of guacamole on top. The ribeye was super tender. REALLY GOOD! But again, pricey. $10 ONE ENCHILADA COMBO: I got SHRIMP. The shrimp was overcooked and hard. The flavor of the enchilada with red sauce was really good. Pinto beans and rice were good as well! $17 CARNE ASADA BOWL: their bowls are SO FRESH & NOT GREASY! I really love the bowls here. It's BIG & FILLING and you don't feel gross afterwards. SERVICE (4/5): They are quick to bring the food & also pretty quick to clear your empty plates, but when I asked for to go boxes they sometimes forget and I have to go to the front cashier. read more

I always see a line out the door, so I had to try it! Even though there is a line, food comes out fast. They have a variety of options from enchiladas to tacos to burritos. We tried the wet carne asada burrito, which was amazing. Loved the sauce; it went very well with the burrito. The fish tacos also tasted good; I liked the grilled taco very much. The enchilada was a little underwhelming in my opinion; I think the sauce could be much better. read more

Fresh fish tacos or rice bowl is what I get to enjoy here at Baja Fish Tacos. I usually visit this place during lunch where there is usually a line out the door for the staff to take my order. The restaurant is a bit loud especially during lunch. I usually get the blacken fish in taco or in a bowl. The salsa bar has fresh salsa and condiments for the meal. I had tried the shrimp ceviche. It was a bit more sour as I liked it but was definitely freshly made that day. read more

I've been to Baja Fish on several occasions. My regulars are the shrimp enchilada plate- delish, carne asada quesadilla- to die for, and their shrimp ceviche- mouth watering. Today I decided to try their chicken bowl- it was lackluster. The chicken was boiled chicken, probably just with water and salt, white rice, beans, lettuce and some chopped tomato and onion. The bowl of food was large- but absolutely no amount of salsa could get me to have more than 4 spoons before I had to stop torturing myself. I'm glad I stepped out of the box and gave something different a try, at least now I know how the chicken bowl tastes. I'm definitely going back- I love Baja fish. read more

There was a long wait and our food took about 30 mins. I got a steak quesadilla and it was like $18, which normally I wouldn't mention, but it was not a great quesadilla. The asada was okay. Everything else was meh. The salsa bar was pretty great. Ambiance wise, it was quite loud, and hard to hear the people at my table. I would like to come back and give it another try, but for now I'm unimpressed. read more

The tacos are delicious here. It is not salty and just right. The chef at the santa ana location is a true professional. The food tastes better than the tustin location, which is too salty. The ambiance of the place is nice. There is a nice little outdoor seating area. Customer service is good. read more

People would say that these are the best fish tacos. I say they are very, very good. The lines out the door do speak for the place, although I'm a bit picky when it comes to soft tacos. I would highly recommend their fish, have it in a taco, or in ceviche, it's super fresh. However I am not a fan of their non-fish tacos, or their rice and beans. They do have a great salsa bar though, and lots of good bottled drinks. And every order comes with a side of chips. Now that is muy bueno! read more

When the line extends out the door, it's a good sign. With steady customers coming & going I couldn't wait to try my blackened fish burrito. Orders: Blackened Fish Burrito-well seasoned fish with shredded lettuce was a light & healthy choice. I only wished there was rice & beans, but still good nonetheless. Enchiladas & 1 soft taco-great enchilada sauce with plenty of carne asada(additional cost). The meat was charred to give it that crispy edge & the seasoning was perfect. Although I initially wanted the soft taco's after seeing it for $5 each I opted for the burrito at $12 & it was another good alternative. This is close to UCI,so it's a great to stop by if you crave good fish burrito's. read more

Usually love the tacos here, but someone isn't paying attention in the kitchen. My wife doesn't eat meat due to dietary restrictions, and there was beef in her fish taco. Also, someone didn't wash the rice correctly because there was a small rock in her rice. She could have chipped a tooth. Please see photos below. read more

Even though it was really busy, the staff here is efficient and cranking through the customers. The staff up front is taking orders quickly, the kitchen is getting the orders out. As soon as someone stands up to leave, their table is magically cleaned and ready for the next guests. I ordered the Shrimp Burrito ($17.00) add Sour Cream $.76, Pico De Gallo $0.00 and Avocado $2.32. Yes, it was expensive but it was delicious. The shrimp were large, plump and plentiful. The two taco combo was $13.25 and comes with rice and pinto beans. They used to have really good buttery herb rice. Now it's just plain rice with a touch of butter but still ok. Pinto beans were good. You used to be able to choose from a bunch of different kinds of fish but now its just one white fish option. We were here in 2014, 2016 and now 2024. Why only 4 stars, you ask? The prices are a bit high. We got cups for water and there are 3 water symbols on the fountain drink machine. Guess which one is plain water and not seltzer water? We guessed wrong and had to try again. Just a simple label maker would fix that confusion. read more

One of those places that always has a line so you know they are good. Massive parking lot and the place does not look big from the outside but is pretty deep inside. Lots of outdoor seating too. The fish is very good, Ive done tacos and the fish platter. They really pack the tacos and the platter gave me a nice seconds meal to take home. Salsa bar is packed with options that make a nice addition to your order. Friendly staff, clean environment, a well kept place for sure. read more

Not one bad plate on the menu(: My number one favorite is the carne asada nachos. The chips, cheese, guacamole and sour cream come in generous portions. The carne asada is tasty and grilled to perfection. The salsa bar is always consistent, fresh. My second favorite is the potato tacos. If you have never had an opportunity to eat a potato taco, you must come here. You won't want them anywhere else, It's quite a treat. The presentation alone will have your mouth watering. I also love their enchiladas! My third go to dish. You have to try the combo plate. The rice and pinto beans are heavenly. Idk what they do to the rice, but omg I can't get enough. I'm telling you they have great food. Worth the hype. Great options and friendly services. The only bad thing I can say is they are very busy and you will definitely have to stand in line, but that's okay the turnaround is quick. read more

This place is always popping. And rightfully so. Their food is delicious and the salsa bar is exceptional. I placed my order online and I made the correct choice because when I got here, there was a huge line! I was able to pick up easily and many people were getting there for dinner. I got the green chicken enchiladas with rice and black beans. Never, ever misses. So fire. My favorite salsa they have is the green one which they give you access too. The place is clean and has plenty of seating along with tables outside incase you want to eat there. I would highly recommend. read more

Food is good, but they give need a quality assurance person for portion control. They give you small portions "sometimes" for the price hefty. I paid $12 for the smallest portion of shrimp ceviche.

This restaurant is located near the market near by South Coast plaza. It is a crowded place, especially on the weekends. There are outdoor tables and an indoor seating place. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. When places are so popular and crowded, sometimes they get dirty. The salsa bar always has three to five people waiting for it. The pico is excellent. The guacamole is very good. Their rice is the best, ever. My shrimp taco was lacking shrimp. My fish taco was lacking seasoning. It was okay. Costa Mesa and Lake Forest locations taste better and are cleaner, especially the location on 17th Street. The food was not terrible, but not great. Just three stars for me. read more

Hidden gem! It's tucked away in the shopping center but don't miss out! The best fish tacos around! They also have Californian bowls, keto / low carb fish plates. Super healthy. Food is fresh and clean, I can tell they use quality ingredients! Salsa bar is legit! Service is always great, even with complicated special orders. Ambiance is chill and welcoming. Great taco Tuesday place or for any day of the week! read more

I have been coming here since 2006 since we live in the area, and have to say that the food value has really gone downhill. We just went for two carne asada burritos which they now add beans and white rice inside. That's fine if that is your taste but what is not fine is the absence of meat in these burritos. This is now what I would call latin fusion food and has ingredients that are not of low quality, but are just not to my taste. Regardless of your food preferences, I think anyone who orders two $17 carne asada burritos, expects that it will include a reasonable amount of carne asada for that price. This is so convenient for me, just a-shame I will be going elsewhere from now on after coming here for so many years. read more

So, it is not on the menu but it is a secret. Ask for the "Brava Burrito." You will not be disappointed. They use a blackened chicken, some cotija cheese, and a special sauce. It is out of this world. You know this place is popular when there is a line outside the door every day at lunch. Great salsa selection too! read more

Always solid basics and the staff is great! Place is by my work so I go a lot. Minerva and Lupe take great care.

Food: Delicious, without a doubt. Perhaps I'm biased as this was my first Baja fish taco experience, but it was really good. It all tasted fresh and seasoning was on point. Service: Staff were quite frankly a bit rude. Both at the counter to order and on my way out. I guess saying "thank you" and "have a good night" gets you a side eye and no reply at this place - at least that's what happened to me. Ambiance: Average for a quick delicious bite. Loads of people were doing take out and I get why. read more

Love fish tacos ...never been here. AI Bot said they were delicious and they were absolutely right. Great food and the service was great too (so sad I didn't ask the name of the girl collecting the plates today at 3pm in case she sees this. She was awesome. She welcomed me when I told her it was my first time being there and she was just delightful. Whoever you are, I hope you see this. I was the guy that asked you which salsa was the best one and then we had a laugh. You were wonderful.) bathrooms were super clean which makes a big difference for people who know what they're talking about. The guy in the front that was doing the register was a little checked out, but it looked like he was having a bad day and he definitely looked like he was trying, so I appreciate that. Get the blackened fish the regular charbroiled isn't as good. read more

Service is awesome friendly, professional and courteous! Came in a few minutes before closing and they were still taking orders. The food is always fresh and delicious, never disappointed!

This place was recommended to me by other friends. It did not disappoint! Their fish tacos here are pretty good. I love the self serve table where you can get all the fresh toppings. We got the chargrilled, blackened, and beer batter fish tacos. My favorite is the blackened fish tacos. It was had more flavors to me. The portion of the fish they put in these tacos are huge! You definitely should also order a side of chips and the salsa is refillable. This place was super packed around lunch time, but they also seem to have a constant flow of people waiting in line. Service was quick. I want to get their burritos next time. Overall, this place is on my top list for fish tacos. read more
