I personally think the food is good, but I cannot get past how many times they forget to bag something for the delivery items. I predominantly order from Baja through their site or another one. I stopped ordering from their site since mine guarantees e delivery. I need that because Baja ALWAYS forgets something. Before using my delivery system, I would have to call them and it was a long song and dance, but since I do order from them probably weekly (I really like their Baja Ensalada), I was calling weekly. Overall, their food is good but when you cannot enjoy the salad because they forgot to send the dressing or the chips, but they forgot to pack the guacamole, it's not as enjoyable. Hopefully they will eventually get it rigth, but thishas been going on for some time. read more

two of us ordered meals with steak and what we got was fatty and fully of gristle. we had to toss the meat. May 2026. I don't know if all the locations are like this but the one at 160th and Mill Plain in Vancouver WA was definitely sub par. I guess the fact there were few customers in there should have clued us in. read more

The service is always really friendly and kind! The seafood tastes fresh/good, especially coming from a fast food restaurant. read more

Baja Fresh - Grilled fish and shrimp tacos - Mexican Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

yes, when they're asking what you want they look like you're inconveniencing them. I used to love to go there. There is no ambience and the food is just OK. They've gone downhill if I make a decision to go there, I have to make the decision that I am going to feel annoyed with a customer service, which there is a lack of. And I'm not a Karen complaining. I used to go there all the time no more. read more

What happened to my favorite place to order to go food, tasteless and one are where rice should be was empty and added to the beans fitting into that small area. Maybe 1 teaspoon each of rice and beans. My enchilada was skimpy and tasteless. I'm so disappointed!! read more

Thank you for the wonderful veggie burrito ultimo today and, more importantly, being such a thoughtful person. You have been here, over the years - even through Covid - working long hours to make your restaurant successful! read more

Not sure if it's the manager/ owner or just an employee, but she is very rude definitely should not be working in customer service

The service was extremely bad, and the staff was rude and unfriendly. The food was terrible and when I asked to have one item replaced, I was told no. They said they would have to charge me again. The location was on Highway 99 in Vancouver, Washington read more

Another restaurant I'm marking off my list. Paid $17 for a Fajita Burrito Enchilada Style yesterday. Huge, so only ate 1/4 and brought home. It appeared to lack much of anything except rice and a whole lot of sauce on top. I figured I'd bring it home and doctor it up a bit, which for that much money I shouldn't have to add anything! I just now heated it up and opened it to see if there was any meat in it, not just rice. It had about 2 TB of pork max. The rest was filled with a bit of veggies and 3/4 rice. Really? You raise your prices, put less protein in the item and think we don't notice? This used to be my go to restaurant for Mexican food. No more. Paying that much money for pretty much a rice filled burrito is more than a rip off. I would have had more meat in a burrito from Taco Bell. Go ahead and continue to advertise on TV. Pretty Sure I won't be the last customer to decide to go elsewhere after eating at this chain, nice commercials or not. read more

OMG the shrimp Baja salad is to DIE for!! So good. Great customer service and I love that they still do curbside!!!

Food is always fresh and never disappoints, and fresh salsa bar is phenomenal. Customer service has always been friendly.

On February 4 I ate here and thought my total was $42.00 and I ok it and on Feb 6.2023 I looked at my bank statement and I had a charge of $84.00 and they never credit me $42.00. read more

This is our local Baja Fresh. We've been coming here often for quite a few years and always have good service and a clean restaurant. My go-to order is the chicken quesadilla or black bean burrito. Love their salsa bar too...some nice options from spicy to mild and plenty of cut limes and chopped cilantro for added flavor. My favorite, by far, is the mango salsa...it's like a sweet dessert ;-) My husband loves the taco trios (chicken, steak and shrimp). Everything is so fresh and delicious! This is a perfect, quick, Mexican style restaurant if you're looking for something in-between fast food and a sit down restaurant! They have a shared parking lot with the strip mall behind the restaurant, near JoAnn Fabrics. read more

"Better than Taco Bell" could be their slogan ... and should not be your main goal when choosing an almost-fast food place for lunch or dinner. Unfortunately, this inconsistent Baja Fresh location is never great and often slow, but it also isn't the worst attitudes or totally disgusting food. So, it is "better than Taco Bell." Recommendations: * Chips & Guac Although twice I got chips that seemed stale/soft, I'm a sucker for fresh avocado mixed with lime juice, jalapenos, cilantro, and onions. * Steak Fajitas Corn tortillas for me and flour tortillas for my wife whenever we share a pile of tender steak, grilled veggies, fried rice, and black beans. * Burrito Ultimo Sour cream, jack & cheddar cheeses, and rice inside the flour tortilla are the difference makers alongside grilled veggies with steak, chicken, or pork. * Enchilado Style Make even the most bland of Baja Fresh burritos better by paing the upgrade to smother it with red chile sauce (not spicy), cheese, pico de gallo, and sour cream. Baja Fresh on Highway 99 in Vancouver, WA sells (sometimes) fast food that is Mex-style and "better than Taco Bell." read more

I think they need to rename themselves Blah-Ja Not-So-Fresh Ordered online and picked up easily, only to find that they'd forgotten every one of my salsa choices, but given my husband extra of his. No biggie. I've got guac, right? Wrong. It's brown. Chips are stale, and the burritos were beyond skinny. The quality has gone downhill in a big way. No bueno. read more

Yummy food and great service ! They also give us a big plate of chips and salsa free every time we dine in!

We don't come here often but went recently and had a great lunch. The salads are great and the salsa bar is dy-no-mite. The place looked to be clean and the location is great. read more

My husband and I ordered from here on Valentine's Day because we had both worked a really long day and didn't want to cook. We ended up both getting food poisoning from our meals. I only had a small amount and threw the rest away, I got sicker than the dog. I will never eat here again. read more

I've only been here twice (x1 was about 10 yrs ago). I honestly wasn't impressed and was better off eating Taco Bell. My grilled taco looked like a gyro, and was stuffed with a TON of lettuce. Though, I did enjoy the burrito which was about $10 (I could go to a local Mexican joint for half the price). I think my expectation of this place was completely different than what I actually experienced which is why they're receiving 2 stars. Their food I feel is overly priced for the quality and authenticity. I know it's not the Baja Fresh workers itself, but the company overall. I recommend going to another place for dinner if you're looking for Mexican food. read more

Terrible food not fresh dirty establishment that I will not go to again I was looking for a quick night off the freeway on the way home and I stopped here.I can't express enough on not wasting your money worst food experience I've had.The staff was nice but everything else was terrible. read more

Baja Fresh - Mexican Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

The food here had no flavor to it at all ! I paid $5 for a side of guacamole and it came in the smallest container ever not even enough for my chips . Spent 50$ for two bowls wouldn't recommend ever . The steak was so chewy took me 5 min just for one bite !!!! read more

This place is great! I've been coming here since I was very little and have always been impressed with the food. My family doesn't eat meat and it's usually hard to find a place to eat with a lot of flavor under those conditions. Their meatless burritos are amazing!! The place always looks clean and everyone is really nice. Definitely recommend eating here :) read more

This place is pretty good. The service is usually friendly and they get it right every time. On 4.28.22 I called between 3 and 4 for a pick-up order and after a few rings with no answer, I hung up thinking they're busy and I'll call back in a few. When I called the second time, it rang a number of times again and a girl picked up sounding like she thought she was answering her personal phone. "Hello," she said, sounding annoyed. While I placed my order, all she said was "alright" flatly and repeatedly and when I was done, she said "alright" one last time rather than anything resembling customer service. If this was normal at this location, I would never come back. When I picked up, they were NOT busy at.all, she continued being crappy, offered no condiments, and was devoid of any customer service propriety. Hoodrat needs a talking to and maybe another job...Wal-Mart might be hiring. I tip here...never seen this girl before...she can piss up a rope. She is not alright. Giving them four stars and dealing with garbage takes away one star = three. read more

I enjoy this place. A lot! Just the greatest flavors, great customer service, clean (even the bathrooms) and the salsa bar is always well stocked, and even better a good selection of diet sodas to choose from. Speaking as someone who has spent a lot of time in Baja California the food may even be fresher at their restaurant than in Baja, and here I would drink the water. read more

My mother and I ate at the Vancouver Mill Plain location this weekend and ordered 2 burritos. As I bit into the end of my burrito I thought I had a bone in my mouth but it turned out to be a chunk of sharp plastic!!! I am very fortunate I did not swallow the plastic. I will never eat at any Baja Fresh again!!!!!! My mom brought the plastic to the counter and told the staff and they did not even seem concerned or offer any type of apology. read more

I've driven by this place and never given it a try. Reason being I thought the outside looked dirty and would be reflected inside as well. I was wrong! Finally gave it a try and happy I did they have a whole salsa bar.... YUMM!!!! Plus they give you FREE chips for when you are waiting on the food. The food is good I normally get the chicken quesadilla which comes with sour And guacamole which are also great with the chips. The quesadilla is big not like chipotles at all. I definitely feel like I'm getting my Money worth also full and satisfied. This isn't anyone near Taco Bell and for the price it's a steal. Wish they offered Baja on DoorDash. read more

No Guacamole. What Mexican restaurant has no guacamole?? When asked what I would get in place of the guacamole she said sour cream. Really??? I asked for pico and she provided that. read more

Ordered a shrimp burrito for my husband Online. when he took a bite the stick the cook the shrimp on was inside the burrito. call the restaurant and told about it was told sometimes that happens. Shame on you Baja Fresh for taking care of customer giving out quality food read more

Went here because of Lent and can't eat meat today. Ordered the grilled fish taco combo plate, grilled fish Baja burrito, and a side of guacamole. Everything was so good. Great salsa bar full of fresh limes and different salsas. The place was very clean. The staff was also doing an awesome job. They were very busy and full of customers. Showcase account of how you do it right! If you are searching for fresh mex, great service, and they prepare the meals quickly, this is the place. They even offer ice cold beer! Thanks Baja! read more

This place has been Usually a very good place. However we experienced a very unpleasant visit. The Ac was broke and very uncomfortable inside. (We over looked that) However when we got our food there was very long black hair in my wife's salad! So my wife brought it back to the cashier who was the manager Rosie she took the salad back and then she proceeded to remake her salad. At that time we noticed she put a hairnet on! My question is, why wasn't it on in the first place? When my wife got salad remade it was the wrong salad! So that point I wife goes back up to Rosie the face of the franchise that day and got nothing but attitude she said she was refunding the ticket and what she did she charge me double then she credit me one of the charges. And being a manager in charge she should offer the refund and remake the salad. Now keep in mind it was very hot in that restaurant and when I went to the counter I noticed the cooks are dripping sweat while cooking! While we were there they ended up closing the restaurant because of this condition! So my wife called for the general manager today's later on Monday and ended up speaking with the owner Lisa and Lisa said she would look into this matter and get back in touch with us. Well three days later my wife calls to find out why she hadn't gotten a return call and Lisa sold the restaurant! talk about a snowball effect needless to say they can keep the $35 I won't be back! read more

My husband stopped into Baja Fresh to pick up a quick dinner on his way home. Two tacos, a cup of soup, a quesadilla and a chicken burrito for close to $50! The food was mediocre at best. The piece of fish in one of the tacos was the size of a small pencil. It was even more disappointing because my husband was given the wrong order which he did not discover until he got back to our home in Ridgefield. He drove back to Hazel Dell to exchange the order. They were aware when he walked in that they had given him the wrong order and yet no compensation was offered. Very disappointing experience all around. read more

Love there salads Especially the one with shrimp and jicama. Wish I had a location closer to my house.

Not very good. I had baja bowl, wife had chicken bowl, sons each had nachos, one with chicken, one without. Plenty of food, however it was not good. We were 0/4 and ate less than half. The steak tasted like cheap beef with a hint of liver taste. All 4 were cold, the shredded cheese they put on the nachos was not melted. My teenage boys did not eat nachos, enough said. read more

This Baja Fresh is going downhill................. We used to eat here about once a month......and liked it enough to continue doing so. Hadn't been here in a while so we had it tonight. Wife's tostada salad was pretty stale, several of the chips in the order of chips were pure grease, and they have changed their queso dip to something of a darker color and thicker texture. I had the chicken burrito ultimo and it was still as good as I remember Overall, they're slipping.......which is too bad given the lack of choices for quick eats on our side of town....... read more

I don't understand this place. The name is fresh, right? Then why are the chips so stale? And, what, is there a competition for the biggest plate of mediocre tex-mex? What's the prize, because this place is a contender. Worth it only with a coupon. read more

I have been going to Baja fresh once a week now, and everytime I'm there the staff is always friendly, smiles and just good service. Just wanted to give thumbs up to the service staff there. I wish the portland location in mall 205 was just as friendly. read more

This place is anything other then fresh I use to love coming here Intell my last visit the older man that I believe is the manager was extremely rude. The food was ok but guys come on clean up the ceiling fans and all the grease in the kitchen. Dining room was ok but would love to see it clean :) read more

Friendliest of any Baja Fresh I think I've ever been to. Shout out to a very courteous cashier, Tatiana. This location satisfies the chain's consistent menu and tasty salsa bar. Pretty packed for lunch, but still considerably clean. If I'm back in the area, I'll definitely be back. read more

Giving five stars to basically a fast food place? Yah...this girl is. I adore Baja Fresh. The salsa bar rocks, the tacos always taste fresh, and the beans and rice are my favorite of any Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. You also get a huge basket of free chips, and there are limes by the pop machine to put in your diet Pepsi. (Insert smile here) Oh, and the boyfriend says the burritos are good too. Pros: -Beans and rice! (love the black beans) -So many types of salsa! A spice level for everyone...plus seasonal specials -Delicious cilantro makes my tacos happy -Lime slices for pop! Cons: -Sometimes the eating area is a bit dirty -If you go right before closing, the staff can be a bit cranky...but, I've worked food service before and I know the feeling ;) Would I go again?: Heck ya! Just wish there were more in the 'Couve!!! read more

Horrible. Great food but they messed up my order 3 times before even giving me food. Then the food they gave me was completely wrong too. It's not hard to read the order and make a burrito. It's your only job. This is why you work in the food industry. They also don't answer the phone. read more
