I usually get a taco salad from here. The salsa bar has good options and I appreciate the sliced limes and cilantro. Online ordering for pick up is quick, but you have to pay when you arrive (not sure if all locations are like that). Staff are quick and nice. Not the best "Mexican" food, but does the job for a quick lunch. read more

La Bamba La Bamba this place is big time. Exquisite tastes, very classy. Watch out for the nacho burrito though. You don't want to walk into a million dollar meeting with nacho cheese on your Tom Ford lapels. On a scale from 1-10 I give it a Diaz no question. read more

I went for lunch on a Monday, so not too busy. I ordered the chicken Baja burrito and it was very good. The burrito was a good size and the avocado inside was delicious. The salsa bar had a good variety, but nothing had much spice. Overall, worth the price. read more

First time in a Baja Fresh location - - LOVE IT! A colleague and I came to try it out at the height of the lunch rush. I ordered the chicken quesadillas with guacamole. Every order comes w/ chips (pretty neat for fast food!). The line moved quickly and received our food in less than five minutes. They have coke products along w/ beer. Yes, a little odd for a quasi-fast food joint. The salsa bar is OUTSTANDING. I love pico de gallo - delicious. I added copious amounts to my chicken quesadillas for more flavor and kick. The inside was very clean, bright and modern. It was a perfect day to sit outside though. LOVED the patio seating - - relaxing and beautiful flowers. Price - less than 10 dollars for a huge amount of food. I wish there were one of these close to where I live. I have a feeling I would be frequenting it quite often. read more

It's clean and during the weekday lunch time rush the food came quickly. The salsa bar was fully stocked. There were two people cleaning the tables so the location does seem to be kept up well. read more

Baja Fresh - Mexican Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

The wahoo fish tacos were inedible. They were dry and overcooked. I practically choked on the fried version, and the grilled one wasn't much more palatable. What a waste of $9.43. The chips were stale. Rice and beans were barely passable. One star for their salsa bar, though. read more

I love the steak Torta sandwich. The meat is always seasoned and grilled nicely, and the guacamole is quite fresh. I like the tomato salsa as a side, and the hot for my chips. Sometimes a little lime juice over the sandwich adds a nice zest. Probably the most notable thing about the food is that it is fresh and made daily. You can taste the difference. read more

I like this Baja Fresh the best. It's consistent, unlike some of the other Baja's I've been to. Sometimes my burrito ultimo tastes slightly different or is smaller at other ones. It was also the first one in the area I believe. I first had Baja Fresh on vacation in California. Then about 5 years later, my mom and I noticed that this Baja was opening. How ecstatic were we? The space is pretty big and has an outdoor seating area, which is kind of slanted though. On weekends, you'll definitely be waiting to order and to get your food. I'd suggest phoning your order in if you are not patient. Oh and on your way in or out, try not to hit the millions of teenagers wandering around the town center waiting for their parents to pick them up. read more

This used to be one of our go-to places, but the quality has gone downhill and my last burrito here was so sloppily put together that we haven't been back. Don't order the Baja Burrito here unless you love tons of pico. Mine was literally 50% diced tomatoes and onions, covering just a little bit of chicken and some guac. The pico created so much liquid that the tortilla fell apart. It was gross. This is the advantage of Chipotle over Baja -- you can actually watch your burrito being made and ask for the amount of filling right for you. But truly that's where the comparison ends. Baja's menu is more diverse than Chipotle, and they're always introducing something new. Their chips are fresh, and the salsa bar is nice. Carryout is easy with either phoning in orders or ordering online. Kids meals are a good value -- cheese quesadilla, rice, chips, applesauce and a beverage. Watch for $2 off of $8 or $5 off of $15 coupons on the back of Safeway receipts. read more

Its good and cheap. Get your meal Baja style -- a rarity in these parts (esp. since they use corn tortilla as opposed to flour tortilla). Now, I've had authentic mexican from Mexico or the 2nd best place to get it (California) -- this is not it. This is a fast food bastardization of those delicious meals -- but in Fairfax, VA, beggars cannot be choosers. The staff is friendly, fast, competent, and make a tasty meal. Again, GET YOUR TACOS Baja Style (enjoy the corn tortilla and be sure to squeeze some fresh lime on top of it, you won't regret it). As for parking, good luck finding anything out front -- my advice, find a place in the lot right nearby. read more

This is good for a quick Mexican lunch. Never have been there for dinner. Food is decent, priced well and tasty. Never have had a bad meal there. Usually crowded around lunchtime peak between 11:30 and 12:45. Otherwise never a problem getting in and out quickly. read more

I am fed up. That's it. I am long, long time customer of this and other locations, but I'm finished. I always get the tostada chicken salad and ask for the shell to be cooked extra brown and crispy. Last night, I asked 3 (THREE!!!!) times when I placed the order. I paid $24.77 for 2 salads and a pronto queso. Over time, the salad shell has shrunk to the size of a paper plate (it used to be a big bowl size), but I still bought them. But last night, I got a 2 half fried shells that were CRUMBS! The complimentary tortillas now come in a tiny bag 3"x5-1/2" with 2"+ tucked in, so it is smaller than 3"x3". I got 12 tortillas in one bag. The salad cost $10.19. That's restaurant pricing where I can munch on tortilla chips and salsa until my heart's content. I will take my $24.77 to a restaurant in the future. read more

Strange as it seems, I prefer Baja Fresh to many other Mexican Restaurants-better than Chevy's, Anita's, Tequila Grande, Chipotle, etc....The carnitas, steak and chicken burritos are excellent, as are the fish, steak and chicken tacos. The chips are made fresh and warm (though they could be thinner). The black salsa is the best! Unlike Chipotle, the burrito is warm and fresh. You don't pick from a bunch of items that have been sitting out all day. Thumbs up! After writing this review, its got my mouth watering. Maybe I will go there tonight! read more

I went here years ago and forgot about the place. Went here a couple days ago and ordered the Fajitas and Burritos. The food is decent. Not great, not bad. I tried all the sauces and they are bland to me, even the spicy ones. Good portion though. I had better Burritos and fajitas elsewhere though. read more

Second time I got a burrito with the wrong toppings. Mine had just beans (two types for some reason) but I have to say they made it right! Even replaced the chips so hey....I'll give anyone a second chance and if you do it right then all is good between us! read more

Baja Fresh does taste like they have fresher ingredients that are nicely prepared - less greasy than other fast food of the same style. This location was very clean, and the staff was always cleaning the difficult-to-manage salsa area. They brought out new mixes from the back when they were ready so the bowl were always full. We enjoyed our meal, and the efficiency of the staff to take our order and get our food out quickly. It may be difficult because of the nice large windows, but on a cold day, the temperature inside of the place was very cold. We had to keep our jackets on while eating which wasn't ideal, but it is nice when warm outside. read more

I like Baja Fresh as a brand, but this particular location has disappointed me. I've ordered the Nacho Burrito three times within the span of 6 months. Each time, it has come without the queso and the crema, and the cashiers usually tell me that the ingredients are absorbed by the rice inside even without looking inside to confirm. They do give me the ingredients on the side when I ask for it afterwards, but I'd rather the burrito come as described on the menu. read more

another great place that we have in Atlanta that I've never been to. I originally went in for some tacos, bu caught side-tracked by the description of the mango chitpotle chicken salad. so good y'all! they did not skimp on one item. There was an abundance of chicken, just enough lettuce the right amount of avocado all held nicely in a great tasting, crispy but not too hard tortilla shell. of course, i added more mango salsa and pico de gallo and lime juice from the salsa counter. this is definitely a favorite for me. I was still hungry after eating the salad but it was a great size. next time I'll just add a taco to it. i didn't taste the chips that came along with the item, they didn't look too appetizing. Why sell chips and salsa for $2.25, when you give the chips away from free with each order and you offer a free salsa bar? idk, it confounds me! While the Baja Fresh in ATL is out of my way, I'll definitely become a regular at this one. read more

My family enjoys the large menu. It pleases everyone. I have been to multiple locations but this is our favorite. Having a shrimp allergy they are very accommodating in making the grill space clean from any cross contamination. The customer service could be a little better. Most of the staff members are either on their phones or don't seem pleased to be there. The facilities are decent. Occasionally we have to ask them to clean off a table but have never been told no. Restrooms could be cleaned a little more. Food quality is what I would expect for the price. Reasonably priced food and I appreciate that guac isn't expensive!! read more

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST! I haven't been here in 3 years and I live super close to this location but after today, I will never come back here again! Don't get me wrong, the cashier guy (who I think is the manager) was nice and all, however their heater broke and they didn't bother to mention it leaving my mother and I and the family sitting in front of us freezing our bottoms off... as if that's not bad, when I was almost done with my burrito, I noticed what I thought was a huge chunk of tortilla but come to find out it was a piece of RAW chicken! Full on raw like it looked like they just cut it but didn't bother to cook it! I of course let the cashier guy know but he kept insisting that it's not raw, but rather it's the nerve of the chicken... and insisted if I want another one... of course I said no because I lost my appetite. This place seriously need to get their sh*t together. I pray to God I don't get food poisoning tonight. Ugh. I attached pictures below for proof. You've been warned. read more

Baja Fresh - Mexican Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

See all

Good food, fresh and fast. Super easy to get to and loads of parking. Every table in the building is clean, restrooms are clean. Unfortunately the credit card machine was broke on our visit. read more

Mexican food is not my kind of food but we usually visit this place before watching a movie at Regal cinema. I love the nachos and their variety of salsas. My favorite will be the Mango salsa, it's sweet and fresh on the mouth. The nacho is good, our usual order that is good for 2-3 people. read more

This is the second time I've been to a Baja Fresh --two different locations --over the past year, both times it was inedible. I ordered the steak Baja bowl and it tasted like bad fish. The previous one tasted like chemical cleaners. I did want to give it another try, but I will never go to this one or another location. read more

Baja Fresh used to be one of my favorite food and the salsas used to taste so good but not anymore. worst burritos that are tasteless and the salsas tasted so bad. Its just Baja not 'fresh' anymore. read more

Friendly service. The food here is very processed though, the tortilla chips taste toxic.

I love this location and every one that works here. This baja is my favorite. Steak and chicken salads and burritos are delicious

This location isnt as clean as the one in Chantilly. Also they serve their food in squared plates compared to round ones. Food is still pretty good though. read more

Dirty staff does not care. I told the kid behind the counter the bathroom condition no response. Walls falling apart salsa area gross. You can see no employee knows or cares where there paycheck comes from. Customers ! Clean house!!! read more

I am DISGUSTED! Terrible service from website, store & telephone! I have not been here in years. Received some coupons, so we gave it a try. BAD DECISION! Could not order online, would not accept the coupon. Drove to the store. Ordered. Got a cup of water. Got my order. Drove home. On way home noticed there was some MOLD floating in the cup! Yuck. Now I feel nauseous. Get home and start unpacking. Fixed hubbys plate and then realized MY BAJA BOWL WAS MISSING! Really!? Great, my blood sugar is crashing and I have no dinner. Opened the street corn and half of it was stuck to the lid and that dropped to the floor. Ate the tortilla soup and the avocados are not ripe. I attempted to call the store TWICE! BOTH TIMES THE STORE HUNG up ON ME! Never got anyone to answer! It is 95 degrees today and I am one very hot and upset lady tonight! Going back as soon as I calm down. NEVER GONA EAT HERE AGAIN! p.s. hubby hated his rice & bean burrito...no steak! Salad? Not very good either. Sorry, honey! read more

Been going here for a long time recently in my last three visits I had horrible experiences. I hesitate to go back. Last experience we waited for 30 minutes as no orders were being made with two other people in the restaurant. I finally said something and the manager threw cash at me and told me sorry. I retorted you're not gonna make my food? He said no sorry. That is probably the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard at a fast casual place. Avoid this establishment! read more

This is a good place for a quick bite to eat and it's pretty cheap. I've had the tacos and salads before. I prefer the tacos, the salads are too big for me. Every order comes with chips & salsa. The salsa bar has a nice variety of options. My personal favorite is the pico de gallo. The customer service is good for the place it is, honestly this isn't a sit down restaurant where the employees are working for tips, so as long as they get my order right and don't seem angry I'm happy. Next time I'm here I plan on trying the guacamole or the queso. read more

First time eating at Baja Fresh. I've heard it's Chipotle's rival. Ordered the Baja Burrito with the roasted veggie and it came with chips. I liked the salsa bar which had 6 different flavors/hotness. The price wasn't bad either. The burrito came out to be around $8 with tax. Overall, I liked it and is better than chipotle in my opinion. read more

Came here for lunch and ordered a salad with detail ingredients and the service was wonderful. The presentation was Amazing, the food was fresh and everyone seemed to be really happy! Absolutely the best Ever!! I'm the area for 3 days for business conference. I'll be returning on the remainder of my stay!!! Thanks Guys for not compromising my experience and deliving outstanding service and Great, fresh food!! I will let everyone else know so they can return with me. read more

Excellent food Nice customer services This restaurant is very nice I never,see like Any other Bajafresh Thanks read more

Three and 1/2 stars for inexpensive, fastish food with fresh ingredients and friendly counter service. I am not usually a fan of fast food, but sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and get something quick, cheap, and easy. Baja Fresh satisfies this requirement gracefully in a clean environment well-stocked with a variety of fresh made-in-store salsas. I enjoyed the Baja Surf and Turf bowl, an absolutely HUGE portion of fire-grilled steak and shrimp, lime rice, black beans, avocado salsa, veggie mix, grilled calabacitas, roasted corn, chipotle vinaigrette and pico served with avocado slices and sour cream large enough for two people. I was surprised at the generous portion at a very reasonable price, and noticed that it included at least 1/4 of an avocado in the toppings. Flavors were better than I expected and I was pleasantly impressed with my overall experience. After I had ordered, I noticed that there are menu options less than 500 calories--- something to look into the next time I visit. read more

Obviously, Baja Fresh is a chain restaurant, so it's not only food quality but also service that makes a location stand out and maintain a positive reputation. I've visited this location several times, both to dine-in and carry out. The past couple of times, I have made online orders for pick up. My order is always correct and the people working are always prompt and professional. The restaurant is clean, as is the salsa bar, which is kept regularly, from what I can tell. Will definitely order from them again in the near future. read more

I've always had great meals at this fresh, fast, chain. Since I don't see the point in reviewing a chain, so I'll focus my efforts on the cleanliness and service which are both fantastic. The salsa bar is spotless and my order is always taken with a smile. read more

Definitely a way better option than Chipotle if you have a coupon. Given they serve chips/salsa and have a variety of fresh salsa trumps. We like our food spicy hot and just the salsa, cilantro and jalapeno station makes the visit worth it. Not to mention fish tacos are so rare to find, most authentic mexican places only provide other meats. read more

Great service! Best Baja Fresh location I've been in. Food is always prepared properly and quickly. High marks to this location.

good- there was no line. food came quick. bad-no taste from burrito. the only taste came from their regular red/green sauces. didn't accept online email coupon and insisted to bring the paper print. the other baja fresh we use gladly accept the email copy. read more
