Shrimp tacos
Kat L.

Enjoyed our food. Everything we tried was fresh and not greasy. The chips were crisp and salsas fresh. The pickled onions added some great flavor too. Service was good and staff was helpful. Very clean and the salsa bad was kept orderly. Plenty of seating.

Blackened Fish Burrito enchilada style
Firas S.

The original Lake Forest location was may favorite lunch spot for the last 10 years. Was excited to learn they were opening one in Tustin Ranch. I finally had the chance to visit and ordered my go to dish, blackened fish burrito with green enchilada sauce on top. The taste was exactly like I remembered. Their salsa bar is consistently being restocked with fresh pico de gallo and is probably my favorite part about this spot. Other notable dishes are their original fish taco and fresh ceviche. Plenty of indoor seating as well as some outdoor tables. Will definitely be a regular here.

Baja Fish Tacos specializes in Mexican and seafood cuisine, particularly fish tacos. They have locations throughout most of Orange County and parts of the Inland Empire. This particular location can be found near the intersection of Jamboree Road and Irvine Blvd. I always order the Taco & Enchilada Combo when I visit any of their locations - cheese enchilada, all rice and no beans, and a fish taco Ensenada style is where it's at! You can't go wrong with a cheese quesadilla for the kiddos. My daughter and I also tried their cheese nachos, but it was disappointing because all the cheese turned into a solid sticky mass. We washed down our meal with a fountain beverage. I found both the cashier and restaurant staff at this location to be super friendly and helpful. Prices have gone up since my last visit as our meal totaled almost $50 with tax and tip, but at least I ordered enough for us to have leftovers!

I've been to their other location and so I knew this spot was a safe call for lunch. Their fish tacos are pretty good. I enjoy both the blackened and charbroiled. I got the plate and it comes with a good portion of rice and beans. I usually will also order a side of chip and salsa so that you can have a bigger container to put the self-serve pico de gallo in. Service is quick. This place is spacious and open. Overall, it's a nice spot for lunch with easy parking and chill environment.

Muy Excellenté!!! Baja Fresh fish tacos is my favorite place to get the best tasting fish tacos in town today. I have been here many times to get gasoline at shell and just drop by for a quick bite and use the clean restroom inside. They are always busy here because everyone is nice and friendly with beautiful fresh fish cooked perfectly to order. A great place for lunch or dinner inside or on the sidewalk patio space. It's all good with Baja Fish tacos to go for take out too. They have been open to the community since 1996. That's a testament to their vision and mission to provide the best fish tacos from Mexico to enjoy here in Tustin and Irvine. Happy Full Moon eclipse tonight.

Two Tacos Combo (Carne Asada with Double Rice)
Johnna E.

Gosh I love this place! Today I ordered the two taco combo plate - carne asada tacos and double rice for my side. Please note this was ordered through DoorDash so prices were a little higher $17.90 for the combo. First off their rice is my favorite rice; it's like a butter rice. The carne asada tacos were FILLED of meat cheese and lettuce; I could barely close it! Absolutely delicious, the carne asada is so tender and flavorful. 10/10 place I always love eating here.

Baja salad with fish
Calli Y.

Huh, how have I not written a review for this place yet! It finally opened in 2025. I've been here a couple of times now. I love the location since I live near by. The prices are a little high, however, the food is good. I've gotten their taco plates where I sub for salad and it's really good. I believe they even offered taco tuesday price which was nice. I just tried their baja salad with a protein as well and it was good. A little on the smaller side for the price for everything was fresh. They have a salsa bar so help yourself. Plenty of parking as well.

Ensenada fish tacos
Leslie S.

I had a great experience and really need to come here more often! All I ordered was one street fish taco and it was all I needed! My family told me they load up each taco and they certainly did! Since the tacos come on 2 corn tortillas, I separated the tortillas and basically had 2 full fish tacos. That with the chips and guac we shared was plenty of food for me! I liked the self serve salad bar so we were never short of any salsa or toppings. It was a very hot day when we visited so I was very happy to see plenty of seating inside. For nicer days, there is also plenty of seating outside. It does seem to be a popular lunch spot so it does get crowdesd during peak times so prepare for that! But the food is definitely worth the wait! We will be back here again very soon!

Great food the right price and most important service is very good. The ambience is clean and enough seating including outdoors.

This place always seems to have a line so we decided to try it out I ordered the blackened fish tacos and my friend had the chicken Taco platter along with chips with guacamole. The fish taco was excellent! The fish seemed very fresh and cooked perfectly -- juicy, a little flakey, and very flavorful. The blacken ingredients were strong but also did not totally mask the flavor of the fish. The cabbage was also very fresh and crisp. My friend said the chicken was also very good and well cooked. He also liked the rice as well. It looked like just white rice but he said it had a little butter and was very tasty. Only the chips and guacamole were just ok.

New Tustin location is now open!!!

I do prefer fuller pieces, but the flavor and so much meat I was absolutely impressed. Everything tasted fresh. The shrimp was crunchy. Perfect amount of rice and beans. A ton of salsa was given as well. Fish taco was very good and again ample amount of meat. Two tortillas to hold that shark together! BRC burrito was lived by the vegetarian in the household. Great flavor and very authentic tasting was her comment. Now the street tacos flavor was good. But the chop meat was so fine I felt like a baby being fed steak. Bigger bites people! Having said that the flavor was still good. And wrap them so they don't fall apart in the packaging. Overall five stars! Super friendly service. Proving is fair for what I'm getting. I'd pay 15.00 for that surf/turf burrito. Well done Chico tacos. Oh and they have a lovely stone sitting outdoor area to enjoy your meal. Or inside is great too. See you tomorrow! Gotta have that burrito!

The service was extremely slow-we ordered to go and each taco was in its own box which was a huge waste of plastic overall. The salsa bar was clean and stalked but overall not worth the price of the tacos. The meat was a little dry and there wasn't much to them even with the added cheese unfortunately mostly tortilla.

The drive through can take a bit , but it's not fast food so that has never bothered me. My one gripe, and it's enough for me to knock 2 stars, is their stinginess with salsa. Only Mexican restaurant I've ever been where they are vehemently stingy with their salsa. Order chips and pay close to $5 after tax and you get a solid amount of chips, but they only allow you 2 salsa and half the time they barely fill the salsa containers (honestly sometimes like 1/4 full which is less than an ounce of salsa). Again, it's literally the only Mexican food restaurant I've ever been to that limits you on salsa and it's not even reasonable. And this last time I went finally sent me over the edge because they charged me extra for salsa because I wanted more and I finally agreed to just pay up only to get home and realize half the containers were less than half full. Honestly unacceptable. And on top of that I'm a frequent customer that will tip a few bucks every time even though I'm not dining in and I continuously get screwed on the salsa.

It is next to a gas station. It looks like a pretty popular place during the lunch hour. It's a smaller place inside, but they do have an outdoor patio. We were able to find a small table, not too far from the front counter. Ordering at the front was easy. The staff was friendly and quick. We could see the cook grilling up the meats as we placed our order. There were at least five different salsas to choose from as well as cucumbers and a chili oil at the self-serve salsa bar. I noticed a customer in front of us ordered a kids plate which included two street tacos and rice and beans. That's what I ended up ordering with Carne Asada and chorizo. There were four or five proteins to choose from for the kids plate. I loved the grilled meats with the char flavor. It was delicious! Everything was well seasoned. I wish I would've ordered a third or maybe even a fourth taco because it was that good! I will definitely come back many times and it's going to be on our lunch rotation for sure.

Taco Gutierrez you have my whole heart!…read more After having moved to Santa Ana last year this has become my go-to spot for tacos close by. It's hard to find a good Taco Tuesday but they do a great job helping the community and keeping the prices $1.50 for basic meats like pollo, asada, and al pastor. I personally love my lengua and this truck has some of the best I've tried! It is a bit pricier but definitely worth it given the taste/quality. A couple things about the condiments--green sauce is spicier than you think, red one is more of a salsa and not that hot. Radishes are unfortunately not very crunchy/juicy at this location so I don't get it as often as I would at other taco spots. If you're ever in a rush, they do phone orders AND DoorDash. I've done all the methods and quality stays up there each time! However, if you do wanna enjoy your tacos right after they're prepared, you can always sit at their tables next to the truck. They have quite a bit of dining space and I've never seen it too crowded to the point of having difficulty finding a spot to sit. In terms of finding the truck, you just need to turn into S Hathaway St. Very close to the train tracks. I park in any free space they have there, since the businesses are usually closed after 5pm (which is when the truck opens).

Came here on a Tuesday. Place wasn't too crowded and we were helped promptly…read more $1.50 tacos are a bargain these days, and they were reasonably sized. I got 3 asada and they were great! Small counter with radish, cucumber, and salsas as well as some Mexican lollipops (def took a few for the road) I definitely will be coming here on Tuesdays from now on!

We remembered how tasty it was. Today I ordered the torta de asada. It comes with cheese , guac, lettuce and order of side of fries. She got the enchilada , (I think / see image). I was disappointed, my mom paid so I had to pretend like it and eat it. I think the meat sits out all day and just gets reheated. The meat was old and tasted raw. The kind of taste when you bite into an undercooked burger and you get that smell of rotten flesh? Wasn't pleasant . The toppings were ok.. they have a salad bar but I don't think they tend to it for hours. Taste was bland , I asked my mom's how was her plate? The enchilada , she said it was so so. The only good thing here were the fries ... I don't think we will come back here again. I like my food fresh tasting . The price was not worth it for 1 enchilada and 1 torta. Over $30 bucks . Nah.. could have settled with a 7-11 hot dog drink and a bag of air (chips). The meat could have been fresh. The orders are fast. There were 3 guests after us, their food was prepared within a minute. The food is already laying outside just ready to be heated...huge pass. Clean place though . And ok friendly service.

She bought the business many years back, she said. We used to use their catering service when I was at my previous firm. Lynn's husband always delivered the food on time. Our office staff loved their tacos and the quesadillas. Stopped by today to pick up some tacos for dinner. Their salsa bar is very fresh and constantly replenished throughout the day. Of course, I forgot to snap some photos before I left. Just realized that as I drove off. The Original Taco Factory never failed me. Delicious as ever. The steak is very lean, which I really like. We do not like corn tortillas so I get them with flour tortillas. They follow instructions exactly as ordered. Only drawback is their parking. It only has a few spots and a bit of a challenge to park at lunch hour. The place is also hidden off the street.
