This was my first visit and I guarantee it will be my last. I ordered the shrimp salad and my husband a burrito. I was so disappointed with both my salad and his burrito. Very little flavor in both dishes and just so unsatisfying. Along with flavorless food, the bathroom was absolutely gross; no toilet paper in either stall, floors disgustingly flithy and holes in the wall from water damage. Overall just not impressed with this establishment or their food. read more

Nice ambiance with large windows and convenient location make for a decent lunch meeting place. I haven't eaten here in awhile, I'll admit, but the food was decent and the staff friendly. I do prefer Blue Water Taco grill and other places as the protein (seafood for me) tastes more fresh. read more

This was my first visit, as it never crossed my mind to stop here. But I was feeling a bit adventurous so decided to give it a try. It was after 8, was looking for something fast but not heavy and artery clogging.... and I found just that! Upon walking in, I noticed how clean it was. The staff was friendly, and my order came up within 5 minutes of ordering. Salsa bar was awesome with lots of options, loved the mango salsa. Also had limes, fresh cut jalapenos and cilantro to add in. We were offered free chips while we waited, I thought I was in a dream. So used to paying for my chips, esp at other chain Mexican spots ive frequented. They also threw in some free chips with my to go order. My Fajita burrito was amazing, and HUGE! Super fresh, great flavored, and they didn't skimp on the chicken!! We will definitely be going back again! read more

Some of the best fish tacos I have ever had. And I'm a Mexican from southern California so I know my tacos. Will definitely be coming back

I been here few times. This time I got Baja taco steak. Not bad. I felt their recipes were pretty bland. Rice and black beans were not good at all. Too dry. I went here during lunch time. So I'm hoping next time will be better. read more

I stopped in for one of my favorite salads, the chili lime shrimp salad, today. I order it to go since I've got to return to work. I open the salad at my desk and the first thing I notice is the avocado chunks are all brown spotted. I then see the tomatoes are all mushy looking, like they have been frozen and thawed out. There is hardly any kale in it and the onions are long and too large to eat without cutting. The chili-lime dressing is a joke. It is now a green colored, watered-down, mayo-tasting and has no chili or lime taste. It's nothing like the dressing used to be. It almost seems like this place has changed owners or managers and they are using lesser quality ingredients to boost their profits. Big mistake. I won't eat there again and I'm suggesting you don't either. It doesn't live up to the standards of the "Baja Fresh" name. read more

I love Baja Fresh. It is our go-to lunch location. Two people can easily split a burrito, they are HUGE! My boyfriend loves the nacho burrito, my coworkers get super something or other. I am a taco kind of gal, they just introduced these fire-grilled tacos and they are the bomb! Their guacamole is fresh and so good, I really could eat the large portion of it. There is a cool salsa bar inside, too. Churros for my sweet tooth, as well. I recently got some coupons in the mail so that helps, too. Yum yum! read more

Man I used to be a huge fan of Baja Fresh. Everyone alse complained that they were overpriced but I defended them on flavor. But not anymore. I just spent nearly $20 for lunch at a fast food place and got three tacos and a taco salad. Boo. I really really wanted some fish tacos - what I liked most at Baja Fresh. But the grilled Mahi Mahi taco was terrible and the two cripsy tacos had almost no meat - just tiny strips of fried fish that looked like clam strips. I am very disappointed. I will probably never eat here again. read more

As a vegetarian I can't speak to the meat quality. I once had a couple of the fish taco's and I was very impressed. I usually opt for the Diablo Burrito. Being a vegetarian, this option runs me a whoppin 5.29, throw on a 32oz lifetime refills cup of soda for an additional .99 and they provide the chips and salsa free.... Can't imagine a better bargain for a really good and fresh meal. Highly recommend this place to all my healthy friends!! read more

All orders since have been 100%, so it is back to being my favorite burrito place nearby.

For a Mexican grill place, this is my favorite. I love the people who work at this particular location. I go here as often as possible. Bean and cheese burrito is fantastic. Salsa is great. Nice variety. I love the quesadilla more than any other restaurant, but can't afford the calories since it's pretty big. Highly recommend. read more

Good for fast food. The calorie count is off the charts, but it looks like real food, not McDonald's.

Great place for quick, Healthy and fresh Mexican food. We frequent here often when its too hot to cook indoors. Can be busy during lunch time but usually pretty quiet for dinner. read more

Yum! Love the fresh tortillas, the salsa bar is fun, and they had excellent vegetarian options. Very clean inside for a fast foodish restaurant. Will be returning! read more

One of my favorite lunch places in Renton. Always fresh, always fast and always yummy! I love the sauce bar and the nachos you get during waiting. read more

I used to love Baja Fresh and have been a customer for almost 20 years but I will never give my money to this location again unless the management/ownership changes. The guacamole was literally brown (I had to throw it away) container only partially filled, rude and disrespectful employees. I asked to speak to the manager and after his very disrespectful response it was apparent why this location is so terrible. He was obviously someone who did not clearly understand he was in the food service business and is dependent upon customers actually buying his product. His loss! read more

The first time I ever ate at a Baja Fresh was in Marina Del Rey, California in 1996. Even in Southern California, a place loaded with great Mexican and Tex-Mex food of every type, Baja Fresh was an amazingly high quality and authentic option. The chain has grown since then, but the quality and freshness of their ingredients, and the authenticity of their preparation has remained consistent, and has perhaps even gotten better. Up here in the Northwest, Baja Fresh represents an true oasis of flavor in a vast desert of bland and disappointing Mexican food. My favorite is the enormous steak Burrito Ultimo ordered "enchillado style," but everything on the menu is very, very good. Throw in free chips, a free fresh salsa bar (including mango salsa plus four others, lime wedges, sliced jalapenos), and a deal for cheap soft drink refills for life, and you are in a chain that has a very different approach to what they put on your plate. You are warned by their motto that their quality is not served at "microwave speed" so there is a brief wait between when you put it in your order and when it comes up on the counter a few minutes later. Baja Fresh's food is certainly many notches above the crummy fast food at Taco Del Mar, Taco Time, and their ilk, although you'll pay about the same. Baja Fresh is a bit of a drive from my house, but I try to make it in there whenever I have things to do near Valley Medical Center and Southcenter. Sometimes, I'll make the drive just for their food. It is well worth it. read more

I love this place. I come here a lot for my steak fajitas freshly made and my steak tacos. Not only that I love the fast service but also the big servings you get for a reasonable fast food price! read more

I love Baja Fresh in Southern California where I am from. This one is not the same at all. Chips were stale, my burrito was not what I ordered and the prices were way higher than any other burrito joint in the Seattle area. The medium salsa is just as I remember it and was delicious, definitely the highlight of my lunch. read more

This location has a very friendly staff that always ensures that customers receive the best customer service. If one is looking for quick, casual Tex-Mex in the Kent area, Baja Fresh is the place to visit! read more

Love Baja Fresh! Their salsa bar is the best. Make sure you try the chipotle kind. I really like that you get chips and salsa free with your meal like an authentic mexican restaurant. I have tried almost everything on their menu but I have to say I like their fajitas the best! I knocked 1 star off because everytime we go there, it is FREEZING in there. Turn on the heat please! Also, the manger I am guessing? made fun of me one time because I asked for no beans. He said I'd just have a bowl of rice and then snickered. Yes.. I love mexican rice! Load that plate up haha. read more

Best place to get something absolutely fresh, delicious, and VERY affordable. Great family atmosphere and even better customer service.

So I love their steak tacos on soft corn tortillas. Actually, what makes them better that the other Qucik mexican places like Qdoba and Taco Del Mar is their salsa bar.. Love it. so many choices from Green salsa to smokey Chipolte to mango, hot and mild. I love to mix my choices. Fresh ingredients and its all about the salsa read more

These guys are good the only down side is I wished the war more food with each order. Fresh Tortillas and cheese and they got volt in a bottle! read more

The food was alright. It was better then Taco Bell but no better then Taco Time. They got my order wrong but it was still good.

Super fresh delicious food. Helpful friendly staff. Custom orders for large groups. Great self-serve salsa bar. Located near IKEA in Renton/Kent area. read more

I have only been here a couple times, but I have really enjoyed the baja bowls. I have only tried the steak bowl, but it is way good. My favorite part is how fast it is every time and the many different salsas they have that you can try. Definitely a good place for a quick yummy meal. read more

Just visited tonight. The girl we ordered from was very impatient. I changed my order from to go to dine in and she was so rude about it. And she went back to the cook who said something in Spanish to the point that the manager had to tell them to shush. Not only that but when I just called to complain, he didn't apologize but just hung up. And finally, there was some trashy customers who verbally abused us as we left. Suffice to say I will never return. read more

Was sad when the Lakewood location closed and became a Big 5. Too far to enjoy normally, but a lot of food at a good value.

It's been awhile since I've been to this place. Me and the kids were out and decided to treat ourselves to lunch. My daughter and I chose to split a quesadilla with steak, a side of guacamole and a drink. We receive a container of the guacamole with chips. The guacamole had a ton of onions in it, not much flavor there but way too much onion. I know a lot of places stretch guacamole with onion and sour cream to make it go further but this was way too much. The chips were so bad. I mean as in stale, stale bad. I took the order back up and happened to tell the manager, who was at the counter, that I would like another order since they weren't fresh. Not much in comments from him, just ok. So we try the second batch, yeah not much better at all, Still stale and so tasteless. The quesadilla was not all the way melted and not much steak. Their salsa bar is good and the pico de gallo is good too. Here's the thing: I've been here before and I'm noticing that they aren't putting much effort into producing good food. Mexican food is one of the easiest to make and it can be good, fresh and tasteful. This chain has become careless with this and it's no longer good food. I say if you want good Mexican food, go to El Rinconsito in Burien, now that's good Mexican food. (if i had just been closer) As for Baja Fresh, I won't be back. read more

I love Baja Fresh. Love the steak tacos, love the quesadillas, love the chips and salsa. Super yum. Sad the Fremont location closed, but it was in a weird spot so it was hard to get to (unless you could walk). Now the only time we get to eat at Baja Fresh is after a trip to Ikea. read more

I haven't had Baja Fresh in 3 years, last in L.A. so thought to stop by and have some nostalgia. But this place sucked. Bad. Talked to a few other patrons waiting for their orders and between mine and theirs, average time to get your food was over 30 minutes. Bathrooms were unkept, trash bins were overflowing (dining area and bathrooms), no clean trays to carry your food. Cooked food just sitting on the kitchen counter, no one calling out order numbers. Don't bother asking anything of Pablo. (He'll roll his eyes and ignore you). Any dialogue with him is just pointless. (Pablo mumbling 'churro' five times to the manager while everyone else is waiting for their food is just sad). Obviously the people working there do not care to be there. read more

good fresh food, good quick service and if you get a burrito you can probably skip dinner cuz they are large; salads are good too; you will prob spend $10 for lunch with a drink but its alot of food and tasty read more

Had food there yesterday, I use to love Baja fresh when I lived in Vegas. Not so many around here. I was looking for that Bahafresh taste I craved for 3 yrs. Well, I was disappointed, food didn't taste the same. I ordered the same ultimo burrito as I used to and tasted very different. I didn't like it. I didn't even finished it. Veggies were caramelised not fresh and somewhat crispy, rice was way to sweet and didn't fit well, I got better experiences at Baja Fresh in Las Vegas, to bad we don't have the same here read more

Carnitas nachos that I bought were better than the Baja chicken burrito, IMO. I enjoyed 4 out of the 6 salsas, bottled Coke was great, and price was decent. I'll try diff things next read more

First time at a Baja Fresh. It was okay. Had a chicken burrito and nachos. Nachos were above average; chicken burrito was lacking. Preparation time was quite lengthy. Two of three people who in my party who ate here had gastrointestinal distress the next day and we are pretty sure they were the culprit as its the only thing we shared-- but you can get a bug anywhere-- so I would still eat here again. read more

Thought I'd try this place again after 2 years. Hoping I'd have a better experience but today my order was missing an entree, also one salad was completely incorrect and cheese on items that were specifically asked NO CHEESE. I spent over $60 and it completely missed the mark. When I had to drive back to pick up items that were ordered & not included, I wasn't even compensated for my inconvenience having to leave work and drive all the way back. read more

Love the wahoo grilled taco! The best in town. You get fresh food every time with chips and service is friendly and fast!

The best family platters you can get. I dont mind paying a little more than Taco Time because they make everything fresh when you order it and the taste destroys any other taco place around. read more

It has been a while since I have been here, but the salsa bar sounded good. Unfortunately, that was the highlight. The food is of average flavor. Had the spicy cheese burrito or something along those lines. Was not memorable at all. It was good size for the price as I could not finish it, so I left full. But it will be a while before I return again. read more
