    Restroom sink Baja fresh has designated this for their customers

    Visited Baja Fresh today. Although the food is very tasty I will not be returning to this particular store. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restroom that they designate for the public was so dirty. It was so dirty. I didn't even want to wash my hands in it. It's obviously been neglected for a very long time! It's dusty! Everything has a film of dirt! The toilet bowl has mold growing in it from lack of cleaning[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I'm sure Baja Franchise would be very disappointed to see their company name attached to such a poorly kept store. I sure hope this particular store can take this horrible review and make necessary upgrades. I do believe the customers from Los Gatos would greatly appreciate and show their support.

    I guesses as the last Baja fresh in the area they get to do whatever they want, including refuse to take orders in-person. You are met with a scan code to order. If you decide to stand there a while in case they'll come help anyway, they will come over to double down, and point to the sign and tell you that's the only way they're taking orders. Forget about asking questions or needing any modifications. Also apparently they now make their Pico de Gallo hot instead of mild at this location? See photo.

    Definition of subpar. Chips were slightly stale, salsas lacked flavor, and even the steak was meh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The establishment was clean and the workers were kind, but the food wasn't good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If I was forced to come back, I'd try a bowl instead of a burrito; most likely, I won't ever come back.

    Salsa Bar and Outdoor sitting under redwoods are the two best things here. Service was okay, Chicken tostada was good. Nachos were good too. Veggie quesadilla was a bit oily and extra soggy.

    Baja Fresh location is convenient for Los Gatos as it is close to the 17 and 85 freeways. ------ One star ----- I ordered on a Friday at 1300 so the parking lot was full and I had to circle the whole lot one time to find an open parking spot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was clean and the staff member who took my order met the minimum expectations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] (It's 2025. There is no customer service expectation anymore - I don't expect to be greeted with friendly salutations, I don't expect polite, professional customer service conduct and I don't expect stellar amicable customer service anymore and I was met with what I expected.) I don't fault the staff member, this is the norm today and in Baja Fresh Los Gatos. Food ordered Chicken nachos - the chips were thin chips - chicken was very sparse, I could count the 1cm X 1 cm pièces of chicken and at best there were 10 of them. The guacamole was there, nothing flavorful, but it was there. The diced tomatoes simply lacked any taste to the dish. Pork carnitas ultimate burrito. I wish I just hadn't ordered this, it was all very below average with regards to taste. Chips with cheese, guacamole and salsa. This was another regret and made me wish I had gone to the Taco Bell drive thru as I originally planned. For me, this is the last time I will choose Baja Fresh for any "Mexican" food craving. If you want Mexican "adjacent" food, Baja Fresh is an option for you.

I tried the popular baleada, which is a home-made flour tortilla filled with a layer of mashed red beans, queso fresco, eggs and with or without meat (I got it with carne asada). The flour tortilla was just as other described - soft, buttery smooth, almost melt in your mouth goodness. The carne asada was dry and hard so I could've gone without. I bet a braised beef like barbacoa would've been perfect for this item. It also came with salsa and I selected mild which gave it a nice bright flavor. I also ordered a chicken tamale (they also offer pork) and I was surprised to find a whole chicken wing (no skin) stuffed into the tamale! I broke into it using a fork and hit something hard which turned out to be the bones. But honestly, this was one of the best tamales I've tried in a long time. Flavorful, moist, and a nice sized portion. It came wrapped in what I think was banana leaf. The service was fast on a Wednesday night and there were a handful of friendly patrons seated nearby. You could tell that they were regulars. The space was intimate with around 10-15 tables seating about 4 people each. Maya's Cafe menu has a wide assortment of dishes to choose from: serving breakfast dishes like chilaquiles, lunch items such as burritos, or soups and full on dinner plates with rice, beans, and choice of protein. There's even more selection and the whole menu is in Spanish so I'll be sure to use Google Translate next time!

When I tried the food last year, I ordered the Blackened Salmon but asked to have the coleslaw taken out since I don't like it. The cashier didn't mention anything about substitutions at the time, so I only received the fish, mango, and mashed sweet potatoes. While I enjoyed my meal, I wasn't full and figured spending $20 wasn't worth if I wasn't going to get a full meal. What made me come back to Aquis is eating with the same friend who hyped up the place. She told me I could actually get different veggies and try it with the herb sauce. When I did this, it was a game changer!! It was nice that I could enjoy a full meal and the herb sauce is a must every time I dine. It is a creamy, fresh sauce that can be paired with anything. It tasted great with the salmon too. You may be thinking, why not order a different dish if I don't like coleslaw? The thing is, the other dishes here are more of mexican cuisine, and I rather go to an authentic joint. Also, they cook seafood very well! The Blackened Salmon was so good, I actually ate it twice in a row. Funny enough, the worker recognized me from the day before. Aquis is definitely a spot to check out, and they are busy on the weekends!
