    Our family loves Baja Fish. We eat at all three locations all the times. We happened to just eat at their LN location the day before with my daughter and eating at their Tustin Ranch location again the next day with my sisters. :)

    Ensenada fish taco and Shrimp taco
    Jamal A.

    Solid spot for Baja-Style Mexican grub! The restaurant itself was very organized and clean as you walk in which is always pleasing and the staff were efficient and friendly. I ordered the 2 taco combo which consisted of an Ensenada style fish taco and shrimp taco. The fish taco had that perfect fish-to-batter ratio where it didn't taste like pure batter and you can actually enjoy the fish which was excellent. It could have used a bit more of that famous white sauce that I enjoy but the salsas they offer at the bar made up for that, so all good. The shrimp taco was the show stealer though; on a flour tortilla, the shrimp was wonderfully seasoned in a blackened sort of way and they were definitely generous with the amount of shrimp and was perfect with the green salsa they provided at the bar. I would go back and just grab 2-3 of those shrimp tacos alone if I was that hungry lol Definitely coming back!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Tacos de Papa (potato tacos)
    Clarice D.

    The Tacos de Papa are the reason I keep coming back here. They are always hot, fresh, and filling, and sooooo delicious. Ensenada fish and shrimp tacos are great, and their chips and guac are good too. Food comes out fast, and the staff are always helpful.

    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!

    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 (1 Ensenada Ensenada-Style Taco, 1 Shrimp Taco, black beans), Blackened Fish Taco, and Tacos de Papa
    Valentine N.

    I understand why this place is always packed with a line out the door. My husband and I came for dinner tonight (Friday) around 6:30pm. Of course the line is out the door and the restaurant is packed, but it didn't take too long to order and find a seat. The food came out quickly. I was excited and ready to EAT. Everything was delicious, soooo flavorful, and FRESH. We got the 2 taco combo (shrimp taco, Ensenada style fish taco, black beans), one blackened fish taco, and an order of the tacos de papa. My favorites were the Ensenada style fish taco and the tacos de papa, but everything we ordered was amazing. The salsa bar was fully stocked and everything was fresh. The portions were generous. Flavors were perfect. Service was fast, super friendly, and warm. It was so busy but all the workers were locked in. Parking isn't an issue, but we walked there since it's by our house hehe When asked to describe his experience at Baja Fish Tacos tonight, my husband simply said, "Magnificent." We will be regulars here, for sure. :D

    This place never disappoints. Been going for years and it still is the best fish taco I've found. I'm a regular at least once a month.

    We are blessed to have amazing taco and burrito spots in OC. But for tortas... Bandido's can't be…read morebeat. They have their sauces to a science. The green is my favorite, but the red is what you need with their carne asides. Meat is tender, hardly ever dry. The buns come toasted and wrapped with care. Service is speedy, and the cucumbers are fresh. When I'm abroad, there are always things I want to bring back to the OC - better public transit, affordable housing, universalized healthcare... But you know what those places don't have? They don't got the best goddamn tortas. That's right.

    Later on: - They still aint picking up the phone…read more + Taco Tues still a steal though! + Still nice, helpful staff. Apr '26: Likes: + Scrumptious tacos. My fav: cabeza (head). So flavorful and fatty! + Taco Tuesdays (originally $2 each) are $1.50 each! I get full off of $12 worth of tacos. Delicious money-saver! + Splendid sauce bar. They've red sauce, green sauce, diced onions, cucumber slices, and lemon wedges. The green sauce is bomb! + If you order in Spanish, the staff respond in Spanish. + Pleasant ambience. . Decent amount of seating inside. Non-likes: - Sometimes they don't pick up the phone at all. - Limited parking. Tues evenings can get crowded. - In the past, they have run out of their signature cabeza tacos if you come later in the day. - (Apr '26): Crowded and slow on a Tuesday. Waited 30min for my order. And yeah, they still don't pick up the phone. What a drag... . Note: Last year people were hospitalized due to this establishment's unsanitary violations.
