I was craving this place because I've always had really good experiences here. Came in at 5:30 on a Wednesday & it was totally empty. No big deal because faster service for me! The facility was clean. No weird smells like some of these reviews have said. The cashier was friendly. I ordered a bowl with steak. It was overall okay. The steak wasn't the best quality. It was kind of mushy honestly. But the veggies, rice, beans & salsa I had with it was bomb. I love that dark salsa and chips they have' I was craving it. I'll definitely try to come back to get fajitas or tacos, maybe chicken. read more

Third time coming in the last 3 month and the soda machine still doesn't work. The employees are not welcoming and a little weird. Also it smells like dirty towel or if they aren't cleaning well. Definitely going down hill, would not recommend this location anymore. Always out of something when I come in. Nacho cheese, chicken, asada, molcajete salsa,and the drinking fountain never gets fixed. read more

Baja Fresh - Fresh salad unlimited - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

The last of what used to be several locations of Baja Fresh locations in the city, this spot was clean and plenty of seats inside. It's been a while since I've had the food but coming here reminded me that Baja's food was fresh and always made-to-order. There are new menu items now like their version of a Texas hot chicken taco and burrito. However, I stuck with an oldie but goodie, the Baja Ensalada. Greens were fresh and plenty of chicken. The salsa bar was clean and well stocked. Overall, a satisfying lunch hour. read more

This is barely my second time at this Baja Fresh, and I've gotten the same meal both times. I love their quesadillas! And their salsa is so bomb with the guacamole and sour cream!

Baja Fresh - Chili Lime Salad with shrimp as an added protein option, chicken, steak, carnitas are the other protein options. - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I ordered food with my family on 9/19 around 7pm and it was good, no problems there. But the MANAGER!!! Absolutely rude. he disrespected the staff (a young girl) in front of the customers even pointing his finger in the cashier girls face. Poor girl looked like she wanted to cry (I don't think she was any older than 17/18) . I will not be coming back to this location in the marketplace. I felt so bad for her! Treating people that Way is completely unprofessional and unacceptable. I come here pretty often and I don't haven't seen him before. He might be new. He needs to take training classes in how to treat his employees. I wasn't going to say anything but if it was my daughter i would've pulled her out immediately and called the franchise read more

Great food, nice guys! Tried the new blackened citrus fish taco, excited to try the chicken.

I am the definition of a quesadilla enthusiast, it's what I get everywhere. Baja Fresh, hands down, is the best I have EVER had. If y'all want an amazing combination, get a chicken quesadilla, rice, street corn, and a root beer. I have to admit, the beans and chips are not good, but that's my only complaint. Everything else is INCREDIBLE. I go here almost every Sunday, and everyone there is so nice. The location is nice, I've had no problems with it, and it is always clean. If y'all ever want a meal, especially a cheap one, this is an absolute must. read more

Really clean and delicious food. Also workers here are very friendly !! Love this place

We went at 1130, the staff kind and the food.. I got a Baja bowl with chicken and it was not hot, it was lukewarm but I just kept and ate it anyway, it was still good, but my husband's nacho burrito was perfect... I'd still come back the salsa bar was excellent and we both got free chips! read more

Steak was undercooked, chicken was overcooked. Overall poor quality, and it was slow but still took forever.

This was my first time trying Baja Fresh. My burrito was interesting. I ordered the Sea of Cortez. The fish and shrimp were great. But the mango salsa really overpowered all the flavors in the burrito. The burrito itself was a nice size, but I also found that as I reached about half way, it began to fall apart being that it was so saturated. The salsas that came along side the burrito were again, just ok. Not really packing much flavor or heat. Considering the meal was over 13 dollars, I probably would not order it again. read more

I bought taquitos and they were horrible, over cooked, and an oil taste that was not appetizing. I'm very disappointed, I've always had great taquitos there. I will not eat taquitos here again. yuck. read more

Ordered through Door Dash. The food was the incorrect order - we ordered no meat, received spicy chicken. Guacamole on food was brown and inedible. Could not eat and, of course, Door Dash only offers less than 25% back. We had to toss the order. read more

Ate here a couple of days ago I always get the steak burrito enchilada style. It is always cooked to perfection. The flavor is always good. The service is excellent. The restaurant is always clean. I have never had a bad experience here. The chips are including the salsa. read more

I am a big Baja Fresh fan, I was so happy to see that this location turned out to be such a good one too! I have been here several times now and I have zero complaints. The food is always good and consistent. I like that you can order ahead on the app if you choose or, just go right on in and place that order. The staff is always friendly and will take care of your order properly. It had been a while since I had been to a Baja Fresh that was so regularly consistent with the quality of the food too. Hey, you got my business for sure! Until next time Baja! Just great food! read more

Dinner at 5pm on a Wednesday. Little busy here. Burning smell isn't too appetizing, but we were hungry. We ordered a shrimp taco combo, chicken tortilla soup and some Queso and chips and drinks. 38 dollars later we got our queso and chips. Hot and tasty. Food arrives. $5.99 for a cup of soup. I thought it would've been bigger for the price. Maybe the high price was for the appetizing black hair found in it. Ick! My tacos were huge! Then, I noticed the seven shrimp...two small and the rest were tiny! I ate half a taco with all the shrimp in it. Beans and rice were plentiful, a plus, I guess. Very disappointed. Very sad food. Probably not visiting again. read more

Made my final trip to baja fresh today. Will never be going back. Ordered 2 of the fajitas for $15 each. Got 5 small strips of steak in each order. What an absolute rip off. Very disappointing. read more

You can't go wrong for a quick fresh meal. I got the shrimp burrito and it was very tasty. The shrimp were cooked perfectly. They're a little light on the staff and even though they were very busy, they were polite. read more

Nohemi always takes our order and she is always soo sweet to my family and I! She makes coming here a great experience!

Had a quick stop thru the day because I had come out of my Chase Bank at the Marketplace. Initially I was going to eat in but realized I only had 12 minutes to get back to work. Although it was 2:00 pm, there was still a pretty decent afternoon crowd. I asked the super friendly girl behind the counter if I could switch to "to go" because I had to hurry and get back to work. The entire crew stepped it up double time to get my order served and helped me get out the door in time. I appreciated that very much. I ended up getting the Baja Ultimata Burrito with grilled shrimp. So fresh and delicious! Grilled veggies, fresh baja salsa, jack and cheddar cheese, baja rice, and sour cream. This was a GREAT burrito but probably more than I needed to eat in one sitting. But it was so good I devoured the whole thing!! They offer three levels of heat salsa at thier salsa bar, I tried the mild, and and both mediums, but couldn't bring myself to try the hot. All three I tried were really good!! Couldn't find anything to say that was worthy of a negative rating. Give Star visit for Baja Fresh today! read more

Love the food, I am especially interested in eating healthy. They have a wonderful tortilla soup with chicken. Their salads are very tasty and filling.

Used to be on my fast food rotation of restaurants back in my single days. Recently, I returned with the family on a Sunday. Came at a good time because they were not busy. So how was the food? My salad was alright. Something that I can easily do at home. Tacos were okay too. I did like the Mango salsa from the salsa bar. Also, the restaurant was very clean. Bottom line is that Baja Fresh is a good place to grab a bite to eat at an affordable price. That is all folks. read more

Baja Fresh - Chicken Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Just got some steak fajitas from Baja Fresh and this was in the guacamole on the plate ! This is some kind of wire!! We ordered our food from Uber and not only was it cold but had some kind a metal wire in it !!! This is so dangerous! I know small children eat chips and guac so PLEASE don't let your children eat the guac from Baja ! This could have really injured a child or anyone really. It's a little stronger than tinfoil I have no idea how they could let this get into food obviously not paying attention. I would not eat at Baja Fresh again. read more

Baja Fresh - Metal shard in my guacamole - Mexican Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Very poor customer service and poor attitude. Went in to order and there was an elderly man already in line but has not ordered. The grill cook said some one be with you'. Hispanic lady comes out and yells across the room 2 minutes we don't open for 2 minutes!! Rude, disrespectful and definitely unprofessional. Don't open doors if not open!!! Duh! Don' yell at customers across the room and especially not senior elderly! Hope she is not manager and know you must well off to have that attitude to run off customers read more

For QSR they have really good food. The Salads are fantastic. The salad with chicken is one the best I've had anywhere. The children on top is hot and juicy and he cilantro ranch dressing is delicious. Try it. read more

Love love love salsa bars! So this place is gold. Their food is fresh and really good. I got the BBQ Chicken Salad this time and it's now my favorite thing ok the menu. I'm counting calories and this one was 400 calories and huge! However, it came drenched in dressing. I think that totally derailed my diet. I'm not sure if the calories are counted with or without dressing. But it was too much. Next time, dressing on the side. i assumed it came that way but I was wrong. I wish they had more salad options. Like a fajita salad or something would be good. Kids meals are really big but also $6-7 which is almost as much as an adult meal. Seating is limited at lunch time. The place has about 3 booths, several regular tables, and then those that are high with bar stools, a nightmare for a short lady and a toddler! I didn't take pictures of the food because I was fighting my two-year-old the entire time. But it looked really really good and tasted great too! read more

If you have a coupon, you best print it out or bring it in because they don't accept coupons that are on the mobile phone. The management will refuse it. The shrimp burrito + wahoo (mahi) fish burrito are pretty good and decent size. We get it "baja" style. The burritos are quite expensive at over $7.50 each, but if you come in with a coupon that's acceptable by them, you can get the entrees at a decent price. Convenient to the Edwards Cinema in case you want to grab a bite to eat before you head to the theater. read more
