    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.

    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

    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!

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.

While waiting for our food, I noticed how well she handled a busy rush with kindness, patience, and a smile for everyone.

I'm pretty sure they are pre bagged bacon bits, judging by the extreme salty taste...they overpowered the sausage inside so all I was really getting was bacon bits. There was supposed to be chipotle mayo inside as well, but I don't think mine had it. Or it was also overpowered by the bacon bits. Burrito was grilled on both sides and wrapped up nicely. By the time I got it, it was still super hot. The green and red salsas are also delicious.

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.
