Absolutely the worst chicken nachos. A big glob of partially melted cheese mixed with chicken on over fried tortilla chips. What happened here- they used to make the best!?? read more

8-( I love Baja Fresh with non-toxic, flavorful food! I had my first disappointing experience there. I ordered takeout. I ordered the grilled fish tacos with pico de gallo removed and asked for a container of mango salsa. I didn't spring for the guacamole pronto add on because the grilled fish taco comes with avocado. Instead, I got the breaded fish with nothing but cabbage and a container of pico de gallo. It's not bad but it's not what I asked for and Baja Fresh does not allow you to contact them about issues. read more

Haven't been to Baja Fresh since I was a kid, and I was pretty disappointed. The flavor profile is greasy and bland, and overall, much worse than any actual taqueria. The only bright spot was the seasoning on the carne asada, but the rest of the meal was forgettable at best. Somehow, after a 20 minute wait, my burrito came out cold, even though it was wrapped in foil. Seriously, how does that even happen? I recommend you save your money, and spend it at Chipotle if you want some actual flavor. read more

Just did take out and it was horrible. The burritos were small and dry and the pico was atrocious. In times where people are eating out less, you would think there would be more of an effort with take out orders. Will not be coming back. Don't waste your money!!!!! read more

The service is fast. My wife and I also enjoy the tacos or burritos. Their vegetables burrito and add carnitas is an excellent burrito.

Holy burrito. This placed really messed my stomach up. The chicken burrito was disgusting. Tasted like the chicken was sitting out for hours or days. Just picture the worst taco truck burrito youve ever had and it was a little worse than that. This place was good before. Go figure. read more

Wtf drove over to here to pick up some of their Quaso which I've had about way too many times before aNd got home to see it looked like this! This is not how it normally looks and it was so gross! I'm so disappointed tthat the girl would even allow someone to eat this. read more

First and last time here, I got the expensive and small steak ultimo burrito,$14.32...no flavor whatsoever, steak overcooked, for that price it should be a bigger size burrito and have some flavor... read more

We've eaten here a few times and it's normally ok most of the time. But today was really awful. We placed an online order for nachos for me, quesadillas and rice and beans for my husband they quote the wait time at 18 mins so we get there at the 15 min mark just in case and our food is ready to go which was great. They are usually fast so no surprise. We get home and disappointingly they didn't give us any of the salsa we asked for but you know things happen. Then I open my nachos and they are completely soggy, every single chip. Even the sour cream looked like it was staring to curdle or separate. My husband's were fine but my food obviously sat for a while before they gave it to us. Gross enough that I couldn't really eat it and definitely not worth the time and money I spent on them. read more

See all

Not authentic Mexican food but it's still good food. Couldn't give it higher than 3 because of the lack of flavor. But my order was made accurately staff was nice and the restaurant was clean. I had the nacho steak burrito most bang for your buck if you choose to go the burrito route if you go there. read more

Rude ass women working register needs to be taught customer service and how to speak to a customer. Ordered online over hour ago I got here a little earlier than expected so I asked if it was possible to get my order made earlier. She right off just shakes head no before looking at receipt than saying no this isn't our location when it says clearly las Positas location on receipt with order number and she just keeps saying no like look it up she's talking to me as if I'm lying and making this up. So I'm just sitting here to see if I'm gonna get my order or if I need to call corporate cause I'm getting nothing from her seeing me sitting her and just choosing to ignore me. What did I even do to her to be treated this way I will never come back again disgusted by the way Iv been treated the minute I walked in! No wonder why so many of there locations close down . read more

I took advantage of the Facebook promotion today and got a Carnitas Burrito Ultimo for free with the purchase of a large drink. Several cool things occurred: -My entire meal cost me $2.18. -The drink came in a plastic jug-type thing that I can now re-fill anytime for 99 cents. -I now have a coupon for $2 off because I filled out the survey listed on the bottom of my receipt. -The staff didn't give me crap for getting a free burrito! They were very kind. read more

Haven't been to one in years. Was always pretty pleased with them in the past. Had to grab a bite to eat this was right off the freeway. Trying to be good, I ordered a salad to go. It was ready and I noticed that the bag was big, so I was happy that it was a good sized salad. But after opening it up at my destination, I noticed there wasn't a whole lot of chicken. Kind of disappointing. Looks like I won't be ordering salads next time. read more

Its fast. but its not as unhealthy as fast food... its not mexican food (well real mexican food) but its a better choice then taco bell... so, if I really want to eat mexican food at home, then odds are that I am making a pit stop here. I like their steak burritos, but I ask that they hold the salsa's because it ruins it for me...plus you can choose your own off to the side...communal salsa, so germ freindly read more

For a long time I thought Baja Fresh was a glorified Taco bell that offered above average fast food. Sorry for judging too quickly. My husband had been a fan long before he convinced me that it was a good place for fresh mexican eats. I had been to other Baja Fresh locations a few times and nothing really impressed me. Recently, our list of local restaurants has been tweaked a bit because we've made efforts to eat healthier. The taqueria isn't ideal for this kind of lifestyle. I'm picky about fresh, flavorful food and if healthy can be added to this mix I'm all in. Knowing that I'm going to get freshly made food at a lower cost than the other popular mexican restaurants in town is reason enough to drive across town. Outdoor seating is perfect on a warm summer night. Depending on who is working, the music can be really jumping. I'm a salsa music fanatic. The employees are friendly and the service is tops. The salsa bar is pretty good. Guacamole and chips is a MUST. Isn't this a super food? For the most part, I have a few things that I look for on a mexican menu. One of them is fish tacos. When I first tried the fish tacos I knew it would be my go-to order for a satisfying, light and flavorful meal. The chicken tortilla soup is also very good. The other night I tried the cabo salad burrito. It was decent, but I always add lime and a ton of salsa to make it just right for my palate. Next on my list of items to try is the Bare Style burrito- basically a burrito served in a bowl without a tortilla, on a bed of Romaine lettuce and the Fire-grilled Skinny Chicken Bowl- Achiote marinated fire-grilled chicken, black beans, green chiletomatillo rice, squash & achiote onions topped with tomatillo salsa fresca. That sounds really good. Hubby loves the asada tacos and sometimes a burrito. They list the calories so you know what you are getting into before you order. *** Don't throw your receipt away. There is a deal for $5 off your next purchase at the bottom of the receipt. All you have to do is take a few quick minutes to provide feedback on your experience. Even better, sometimes they have completed their surveys for the month and just give you the redemption code when you call. How can you beat such a bargain? We've been using this the last couple of times we've eaten here and our meals are less than $15 for my husband and I. read more

Love this location. The people are so nice, the food is consistently good, and the place is clean (yes, even the bathrooms).

Damn, the quality of the food went wayyy down. It used to be so good. No more salsa bar. Burritos taste bland. The pronto guac looked like it had been sitting out for a couple days, tasted like crap. Shrimp tastes like it's been laying in the sun for 3 days. Their salsas have no more flavor to it. Idk what happened man. I used to eat here almost everyday. This place is like the livermore chipotle now. read more

Brown guacamole and floppy soggy taquitos. Come on guys, you can do better.

I always the the burrito ultimo with grilled shrimp. Its a bit pricey but the robust flavors and textures in the burrito make it worth it. Service is fast and friendly! read more

I never have eaten worst food in my life. The chicken had no flavor and Was extremely burned and dry. The beans tasted like water. The cheese was extremely gross. I do not recommend this fast food place at all read more

Ordered online with a specific pick up time but upon arriving, they had no record of my order or payment so I had to go in and order again and then wait my turn as they made other patrons' food first. Made me late for an appointment. Had been trying to be efficient and get a decent meal and make it to my next stop but this put me about 20 minutes behind. Food was ok read more

Me and my kids eat there once a week, good food and nice employees. Would recommend, I usually grab the shrimp burritos

Baja Fresh delivers above and beyond delicious Tex Mex food with fresh ingredients prepared to order your way. I spontaneously came here to the Blackhawk location on my drive to the area after craving a grilled chicken Diablo Burrito with the tortilla grilled Dorado style and prepared to perfection. I cannot imagine other Yelpers complaining about the elimination of the Salsa Bar. They are generous enough to give you extra Salsas per your request. It is for our safety and the safety of others, it's temporarily not available. These small businesses are not to blame for policies stipulated by our government. Please consider this is a small business which has lost a great deal of business because of Covid. Please support these small business and take in consideration they are going above and beyond to provide a great dining experience with delicious amazing Baja Fresh food. Thank you Victor and Baja Fresh Team for the excellent dining experience. read more

I have been to this place 3 times. Every time I am there they have no soap in the bathroom & I wonder if the help washes their hands are clean when they cook. I mentioned it to the cashier & was told he would address it but in the entire time I was there it never happened. I don't want to get sick so I won't eat there anymore. read more

I decided to take my girls here since I have not been to a BF in many years. Food is seriously overpriced and lacks the quality I get at their competitors. They completely forgot to make one of our meals so we had to wait 15 minutes for it to come out. The salsa bar is about the only thing I can say was good. I won't be returning. read more

Negative stars During my visit this restaurant refused to follow any safety protocols. I left without ordering.

Fresh! Fresh! Fresh! for sure! And yummy for the tummy! As far as chains go...wethinks this place rocks. My family's favorite menu item is the nacho burrito. Both the chicken and beef have been very delicious. Recommend it to those who like some spicy hot pizzazz a'la burritos. A Scrumptious spicy Smokey Queso Fundido and oodles of jalapenos are packed inside the HUGE nacho burritos. Yes...HUGE, Ginormous, Holy-Guacamole sized burritos. read more

I actually chose this over *real* Mexican food one night. Having just moved back to Livermore from a year in Danville -- the opposite of the Mexican food capital of the Valley -- you'd think I'd be attached at the hip to my favorite taqueria, Tequila Taqueria. But odd as it is, I've only been there once and I've been to Baja Fresh twice. And it's even a further drive to hit Baja Fresh! What am I thinking!? I'm not. But as much as I love taqueria food, sometimes you like to pretend you're eating healtier. I tried the fish tacos for the the first time (got the breaded ones because I wasn't feeling THAT healthy) and they were pretty decent. Was a bit peeved that after I specifically asked if it came with chips and was told "Yes," it did not come with chips. And then recently got my old fave, the tostada (veggie, no meat) ... only now it comes in a wider, flatter tortilla bowl making it easier to eat. Pretty satisfying I must say. I would venture 3.5 stars because the service and cleanliness at this Baja Fresh is 10x better than the jacked up one in San Ramon, but it's still Baja Fresh, so I ain't givin' no four stars. Their mango salsa is surprisingly good, considering I like the food at La Salsa probably a little better but their mango salsa disappoints. One of the salsas (the tan-colored one -- not the dark brown, the tan) is surprisingly nasty, but that's personal opinion. I even purchased the "souvenir" cup so I can now pay 99 cents next time I go here wanting soda and mediocre Mexican food. read more

I was on my way to Stockton yesterday and I needed a quick road bite. I've decided that Baja Fresh, besides being the best place to steal Cholula from, is the freeway fast food that most resembles the cuisine it is actually mimicking. I had a shrimp diablo burrito and it did its job. Perhaps if they wrapped their burritos in tin-foil they would seem even more authentic. Anyway, I lost my favorite hat in there. Karma's a mutha-f-er! read more

I'd give 3.5 stars if that were possible. This is another favorite of my wife and I. The food is tasty, the service is solid and the atmosphere is reasonable given the prices. The "Pronto Guacamole" is a great and very affordable choice if you come in and order something to go and have the munchies. You can also phone ahead if you want and they'll have your food ready when you get there. read more

As far as Baja Fresh goes, this one does a good job. The place has always been adequately clean when we visit. Our food is always prepared as ordered and delivered quickly. Now, whether or not you enjoy Baja Fresh food is up to you. I'm okay with their food. For me if I'm in a rush and need to grab fast food, I'm more concerned with cleanliness and quickness than whether or not I think the food is awesome. The food is decent and you can get a few healthier choices. So, boxes checked for me. read more

I've always had fantastic service and great food and big portions at this Baja Fresh. It's super efficient and clean too. Highly recommended and you'll wait wayyyy less than if you go to In & Out across the street. This location is solid. read more

The seafood tacos are fabulous! I added the yummy mango salsa from the salsa bar & it added such a depth of flavor to the shrimp taco. read more

Baja Fresh - One of the 3 fish taco... so yummy! - Mexican Near Me - Livermore, California

I'm pretty sure Baja Fresh is franchised (yes?) because this location (vs ones where we used to live on the east coast) has won us over with their consistent quality and value. It's our tex-mex go-to when we want something cheap-ish that tastes good without being overly greasy. That is hard to find here apparently!! Pros - filling portions - salsa/cilantro/lime bar, esp mango salsa mhmm - clean place - good music - professional staff Cons - too convenient, sooo we don't make our own nachos anymore :O read more

I would be guilty of being that American audience who's not into super spicy, as well as being picky, fussy and vanilla as foodies go. That said, love it. It's not the literal, authentic Mexican place that wife adores, but everyone in our group can find something they enjoy on the menu. The store is consistently clean and help is prompt, and enjoying their new (recent?) thing of bringing your dine-in to the table (saves on tray pickups? no matter, works for me). And unlike the Pleasanton mall store, they're pleasant to talk to... doesn't hurt that the register spits out $5 discount coupons here but $2 ones at the mall store for taking the online survey... and for a typical $18 check, a $5 coupon rocks. read more

Baja Fresh is one of the healthy fast food chain in US. This store is especially CLEAN. Employees are friendly and give large portions of food. I don't know why the bad reviews. This is a fast food chain restaurant. Their food is standardized. Which means you get the same food at all Baja Fresh, so you won't get surprised. We can not expect them to make customized food like local restaurants do. I like to go to this particular one in Livermore because it is very clean. I have seen their employee wipe almost everything in the restaurant. I care especially the salsa bar, which is always clean. They also give quite large portion of food. Chips are warm and delicious with their salsa. I always get a lot of spicy salsa and chilies for my burrito and taco. Sometimes I can't finish one burrito in a meal. I always go there when I need a fast and delicious meal. read more

My husband and I generally get take-out from Baja Fresh at least once a week as we live nearby. The food is always fresh and tastes good. And the service is quick and friendly. It's not fast food. It's good food quickly. This is our go-to restaurant for after work when we don't feel like cooking at home. HIghly recommend to anyone wanting good, fresh, & healthy food in a hurry. read more

We don't get here very often, but the food quality is always great! Love the guac, and the shrimp is so good. Baja Bowls and salads are always fresh and generous. Had the grilled shrimp and wahoo tacos tonight, wait was a bit longer, but I assume it was for the shrimp. Very good and worth the wait! read more
