I've been to a lot of Baja Fresh's but this one has been my favorite so far. The young lady at the register named Leslie offered excellent service and the Baja Steak burrito was made to perfection. I'm so happy that this location has the salsa bar open. If you're in the mood for Mexican food I would definitely recommend this location. read more

This Baja Fresh has great service and food is always really good. The service is great and they are always nice and considerate. The food is always great and the open salsa bar is always a great time. read more

The ratings? Why?! This place is awesome. Love the fresh ingredients. The grilled chicken is not marinated or salted out. The grilled steak tacos were generous and very good. The salsa bar is so good, especially mango salsa, fresh cilantro, limes. Generous with their servings. Thank you for keeping the quality we started with years ago, some haven't. read more

It's been along time since I've been to Baja fresh, as the ones in my Costa Mesa area keep closing. Great food, great service, happy and cheerful people. Also not insane about masks... I don't patronize businesses that require me to wear a mask, as it's overkill in this day and age. Merry Christmas! This is a well run the store, clean, and good, hot food. read more

We love Baja Fresh bit had never been to this one in Seal Beach. I should have turned around and walked away when I whiffed an unfavorable smell upon entering. Customer service was good, but the chips had that toxic old grease taste and my fish taco tasted like old fish . I knew I'd be sick if I continued eating therefore I stopped. My son enjoyed the kid bean burrito (hence a star) and the salsa (second star). We were already far from the location when we began eating which is why I didn't return it. I just threw it away. . I don't like wasting food or money. Today i woke and my stomach isn't happy. Will do a water fast to flush that mess out of my system. read more

On a road trip & stopped for a quick lunch. My mom and I got the Baja bowls, hers with shrimp and I got mine with just veggies so much flavor in both our bowls. I'm sensitive when it comes to spice but it was just the right amount. It's pretty good healthy spot, the salsa bar is awesome. Tons of amazing salsas to choose from cilantros & limes. Great customer service ! :) read more

Zero stars! My husband and I went in there today for lunch. While waiting for our order my husband observed the cook dropping tortillas on the ground and picking them up and putting them back on the grill. Needless to say we walked right out of there, $20.63 lighter in the pockets. No, I'm not going to call the GM whose number is on the receipt, because what's he going to do- tell on himself? You can be assured corporate was called. We'll see how long it takes to respond to this........ stay tuned. In the meantime save yourself some food born illness and skip this place read more

I was in the Seal Beach location. I placed my order with Eddie. He was very polite and kind. He told me I could get salsa at the salsa bar as I waited for my food. I accidentally spilled some salsa on the floor and asked for some paper towels to pick it up. He said don't worry about it! I'll get it. We went back and forth a few times and he cleaned it up. I appreciated him doing so. He had a great attitude and was very helpful!! Thank you! read more

With so many options close by: chipotle, rubios, wahoos, not sure I'll be back. They have a great salsa bar but they seem to skimp on everything else. I had a Baja burrito with carnitas. This is supposed to have guac which is why I ordered it but they literally just put enough on it to color the tortilla. You can not taste it. Pretty small serving too, good thing I ordered 2 with a bogo coupon. If I just had one I'd probably be hungry still. My wife had grilled shrimp salad and there were 7 shrimps, which is usually a good thing, but these shrimps were like super small. She wasn't impressed either. I used to love Baja Fresh but i guess times have changed... read more

Baja Fresh - Baja burrito with little to no guac. - Mexican Near Me - Seal Beach, California

I typically am a big fan of rubios, but when i order a large side of chicken, i expect a large side of chicken . I ordered a large side of chicken and this is what I got. Thanks for the generosity rubios in Seal Beach! Your loyal but disgruntled fan. BTW, congrats on being my first negative review on yelp!! read more

Baja Fresh - Less than half a bowl of what is supposed to be a large side of chicken. - Mexican Near Me - Seal Beach, California

The cooks are super slow. Place is completely empty and it still take 30mins for a cheese quasadea. If there people here your order will take 1 hour to make. Go to Chipotle they will have your food in 5 mins read more

The food wasn't that great, my tacos were very dry and everything els seemed not seasoned at all. I stopped here to give it a try but will not be returning or recommending. $10 for a two taco plate that I couldn't even eat because it was so dry. read more

Delicious food & great service! The Mango Chipotle Salad with shrimp is my absolute favorite! Lupe is always super friendly & the food always served fresh. read more

Baja Fresh - Best salad: mango chipotle with shrimp. Their guacamole is a must, too! - Mexican Near Me - Seal Beach, California

I get the grilled fish tacos, baja burrito, or fajitas!! The service at the Seal Beach location is always consistent, it's super clean inside and the salsa bar is always good! I come here consistently and even saw Paul Stanley from Kiss here!! A healthy and fresh alternative to other spots! read more

What happened to Baja Fresh? Or is it just this location? My husband and I came here today for lunch. We both ordered burritos. Mine was a shrimp Baja, my husband got a shrimp ultimo. Both of them were TINY compared to what I remember. We didn't get our free sides of tortilla chips...we were charged for a side of chips. The food was just alright. There could have been less "filler" and more shrimp in both burritos. But the taste was still good. I don't think we'll be back here. We'll just go up to the Rubio's which isn't much further up on Seal Beach Blvd. Disappointing. read more

Quick service. I'm not really reviewing all of Baja Express here, but just this particular location. If you like the chain, you will probably like it here too. Lots of indoor seating and a few outdoor spots. Plenty of parking! Right next to a hotel--it is the closest good food to Ayres Hotel, at least walkable. read more

This used to be my favorite place, but was just turned away because I tried to use a coupon that they put on their website.

Over $9.00 for a shrimp burrito!! Lots of rice and very little shrimp inside! No sides!! Go to Del Taco in February....for a better crispy shrimp burrito for half the price!! read more

1st time here. Staff was polite, even went the extra mile to hand me a bag for my salsa. Open area to dine and eat and seats are comfortable. read more

Baja Fresh - The gentleman who rang me up was excellent. You could tell he was new. He didn't hesitate to go the extra mile. - Mexican Near Me - Seal Beach, California

Stopped by yesterday around 1:30. Friendly staff and excellent service as always. Food tastes great as well. Highly recommend.

I never write reviews but the service today was unbelievably bad so I feel like it's necessary. We ordered online at 6:00pm and our food wasn't ready until 7:15. The cashier was rude and not helpful at all. I would expect a free item or something as an apology for the terrible service but no one seemed to care. Highly disappointing - we'll never order here again. read more

Oh My Gosh...The last time i went to Baja Fresh I had a pretty bad food experience and decided to give them some time. I just came back and it has gotten worse. You now have the young cute girl at the counter with the way too wavy and long hair and a dirty shirt taking your order. The cooks prepare your food with the enthusiasm of your local Taco Bell and the supervisor who is handing you your food stepping over cups on the floor that look like they have been there for a while. The Salsa bar was not stocked and dirty and the biggest food FAIL!!!! THE FOOD SUCKED. The beans were burnt, the tortilla on the burrito was stale, the rice was dry. They gave us the wrong meat on the Nachos...UGHHHHH I WILL NOT GO BACK.... NO STARS FOR THIS PLACE!!!! read more

The service was good, but the baja shrimp taco was lacking shrimp and flavor. They only put 4 very small shrimps on the taco for about $4.00. Definitely not worth it. The pictures in the restaurant displaying the shrimp in the tacos are of course larger than what they serve you. I'm so disappointed. I use to love this place. Not sure if I ever will return. read more

What's not to like about healthy food that is freshly prepared? Their pinto beans are second to none. I recently did a low calorie diet. After quitting the shakes, the next step is to move on to REAL food. Here's my first meal. It was lovely. The side of grilled veggies isn't listed on the menu, but it is shown in calorie brochure. What a great find. Finding vegetables in a fast food restaurant is magic. Tasty magic. read more

Baja Fresh - First real meal after Optifast - right on program - Mexican Near Me - Seal Beach, California

I like the food here (especially the mango salsa) but I don't live in Florida because of the heat and humidity and that's what you get at this location. I don't come anymore because they don't turn on their air conditioning read more

I have not been to a Baja in forever.....I recently went in w/ a friend. I ordered the chicken salad tostada. I was pleasantly surprised with the flavor. The service was fast & friendly. Overall decent place read more

Baja Fresh - Chicken Salad - Mexican Near Me - Seal Beach, California

Go up a block to Rubios or drive an extra 5 min to Super Mex they serve a much better meal. IMHO the food was way over priced unless you like your chicken burrito with 90% rice. Can't help but feel they are cutting corners by replacing meat with dry rice. Will not be going back to Baja Trash. I can't help but feel ripped off after my visit. I do like Baja Fresh just not this one. read more

Ordered takeout on 9/21/2020, steak and shrimp Baja burrito had small steel wire in it. Claimed to the HQ following day over voicemail, so far no response. Had diarrhea as well. Health Dept. should check this place. read more

I love this place, great service, always fast, and they have very high quality meats....not the cheap stuff. I'll never go to Rubio's again....they messed up my simple order waaay to many times now. My order here is always right! Fish tacos here are great, carne asada burrito is the best! I don't mind paying for the higher quality food at all. I usually like to drive thru when I need a quick meal but this place is worth getting out and walking in! Thanks for the great food. read more

I walk in and the place is empty; 9$ burrito JUST a burrito nothing else comes out close to $9 with tax, this is why places are going out of business. read more

Fresh food, smiles all over the staffs faces.... The young lady up front is very talkative and attentive. Im glad I found this place, especially after the one on katella closed. read more

Bad nachos for the first time ever. The Cook burned the beans. Beans should not be served. Nachos were terrible because of the burned beans. Ugh! Never serve burned food to a customer. Belongs in the trash. read more

The food would be okay if they cooked it. Of the 4 or 5 times I've eaten here, the food has been COLD, not lukewarm, but COLD. On the plus side, the food is pretty cheap, the inside eating area is relatively large, and it's right off the freeway. read more

Baja Fresh?? More like Baja CRAP! The last time I have had lunch (or dinner) at this location was about two or three years ago when this place was actually COOL; now, I'm actually not that surprised that a lot of (or even all) the Baja Fresh locations have been closed down or getting replaced with either more Chipotle's; Rubio's; or Chronic Tacos. The food just tasted HORRIBLE! Why did I give this location a measly 1/5 stars? I'll tell you why: 1) When I stepped into the door, I thought that the place seemed like it was a ghost town. Not a lot of people were dining in, and did you know that I had to wait about 10-15 minutes for my food to get prepared?? The food at the Seacliff location in HB was ready in about 2-3 minutes!! 2) The food? Not even worth the damn price!! I had the seafood tacos, and the fish taco just didn't do me justice (the garlic lime shrimp taco was okay, though). The filling for my fish taco was NOT fresh (even though they said it was "wild-caught") and they used WAY too much breading to deep-fry the damn thing! CONCLUSION: I got three words for this location/establishment: WILL NOT RETURN! read more

I've been coming to this Baja Fresh for a few weeks now since I moved close by. I highly recommend the impossible burrito, bowl, and tacos they are amazing. The cashier Isamar M. Is always very friendly and understands my complicated orders lol....I will continue to come here only thing is can someone tell management to fix the ac!!!! It's too hot in here especially y for the workers!! read more

Good location, friendly staff, and always clean inside. We stop here on our way to football games and the food always sits well, too.

The ingredients they use are all very fresh. Portions are generous; the staff are super friendly, and the prices are comparatively low. Do not miss this place if you are ever in Seal Beach. read more

Stayed at the Ayres Hotel, ate lunch here. I have eaten at a few of these, they skimped on the chicken on my salad. Their portions are small compared to others, they weren't even busy. Salsa bar was good and ample parking though. read more

I love the wahoo/mahi grilled fish bowl. You get so much in it, and you can add all you want. Very healthy and tasty. Staff here is really nice and attentive if you ask for anything and it's easy parking. One of my go-to lunch places. I've been going every week for years and they haven't messed up an order once. It isn't really "mexican food" but labels are pointless anyway, the food is quality for what you are paying for. read more

I love this place! The staff is fun and the food is awesome. I only wish there was one closer to Huntington Beach.
