Grilled Fish Tacos were amazing, as were the chips and queso. 100% will be coming back. Thanks, Baja Haus for becoming my new favorite place and for making takeout so easy! read more

Baja Haus - Seafood Near Me - Wayzata, Minnesota

I was really excited to try Baja Haus for restaurant week. I got the poke appetizer, scallops, and flan for dessert while my partner opted for the chimichanga. He said the chimichanga was nothing special and it tasted dry. The flan was also dry and had no flavor. The scallops were actually delicious with unique flavors. I was hoping for more than 2 scallops for the price but the real kicker is biting into a huge staple that was found in my dish. It scraped my teeth and I was disgusted to pull out a huge metal staple out of my mouth! My partner and I stopped eating after because we lost our appetite. The manager came out and said it must have fallen on the expo line for take out and said she would comp my meal. They didn't even try to bring me out a new entree! I was expecting they would at least comp our entire bill but the lack of customer service was apparent the entire night. Really disappointed since we wanted to like this place. read more

Years ago we had a cocktail and a snack here not long after it opened but until last night, we never had a meal. We went with another couple and everyone enjoyed their food. It was fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The waiter was good but stretched way too thin so everything was a little slow. Fun decor but kinda industrial so LOUD, like leaning across the table and yelling to be heard loud. The crowd at the bar was clearly having a good time. I'd recommend it solely on the food. read more

Don't let the strip mall store front fool you, this place has a fun and lively atmosphere!! The decor is a fresh, bright, beachy California vibe. My family stopped in for an early dinner. We arrived right when they opened at 4:30 on Friday of their opening week and about 20 people flooded in from their cars after we did. Baja Haus has a cocktail list with a variety of Mezcal on the menu. I love Mezcal, it's a smokey liquor made in Oaxaca, Mexico. I ordered the Sexy Mongolian (Mezcal, ginger liquor, lime). I liked the the smokiness of the Mezcal contrasted with the fresh lime and ginger. I had a taste of the Bad Hombre (Mezcal, jalapeño, orange crema, agave, sour mix). I thought the muddled jalapeño was a nice touch and everything just tasted really good together. In transparency, we had to try the drink because of the hilarious name, it ended up being a great drink. We ordered a few appetizers. Chips and salsa (the server highly recommended because the make the chips and salsa fresh daily), whole squid (with chili butter and citrus) and yucca (yucca with coconut, lime, chile butter). The chips were really good, super crunchy, the salsa tasted incredibly fresh, guac didn't seem anything too special, there was a jalapeño salsa that I didn't try but I heard it had a big kick. The whole squid was the star of the show, it was tender and flavorful. The yucca was unique with the lime and chile butter, it tasted like there might have been some cheese in there too. The service was very attentive and quick. I was very impressed being that they just opened. This is a great addition to Wayzata's restaurant scene. I will definitely be back! read more

Great Mexican Food with a German-like beer selection. I really enjoyed the fish taco's and because they are large, 2 was enough for dinner. The beer selection was great and the salsa trio is a great side. Service was swift, and the very next day this restaurant was written up in the local newspaper. Trendy and fresh ingredients make for great taco's. Free parking and no wait for a table! read more

Went to Baja Haus for the first time. Was excited initially by this fun concept going into DT Wayzata but was surprised/concerned by some of the bad the reviews. We arrived about 5pm on a Saturday and had no problem getting a table. Happy hour was a good selection of the menu. The cheese roll is like a crispy Parmesan roll with sauces. It wasn't our favorite, it also wasn't what we were expecting. The daily ceviche was absolutely wonderful. Fresh and very flavorful! The pork tacos and crunchy fish tacos were very good. Our favorite was the chicken tiki tostadas on happy hour. These were packed with flavor, and sauces. Messy to eat but well worth it! They have a very wide selection of Mezcal. If you've never had Mezcal - have George (one of the bartenders) make you his special drink. It will be a good intro to trying Mezcal without all the smoke of some Mezcals. Another little fun tidbit is for all you blue point lovers (old restaurant in Wayzata) be on the lookout for their large sign- it's in the restaurant :) We definitely will be back. Another reviewers mentioned this and I will second, if your at dinner DT Wayzata please know there is a premium you will pay for location. So this is higher priced, but happy hour is a great selection and was reasonable. read more

We have had good food in the past and the service is always good. However, a Mexican restaurant should not charge for salsa and chips. We were a group of 5 and ordered the salsa and chips to go with our drinks. The "bowl" of salsa had approximately 2 tablespoons of salsa. We refilled 3 times and we're charged for each time. Sounds picky but for that reason we won't return. read more

Loved the ceviche which I try wherever I go. Theirs was particularly good as was the eine

Wow. A rare gem in the heart of downtown Wayzata. Most people hear Mexican and think heavy nachos or quesadillas. The team at Baja Haus offers an authentic, sophisticated 'Baja' dining experience where light, fresh seafood takes the spotlight. Drinks - Visited Baja Haus on a Friday night with a group of friends. Our server George instantly made us feel like family. Very helpful in recommending drinks based on our various palates (awesome spicy sweet margarita, smoky mezcal drinks, and the most buttery red wine.) Food - Chef Zach is phenomenal and each dish was put together with great thought. Menu items focus on seafood with traditional Mexican accents such as corn, jicama and yuca. Inspired by seasonal items (i.e. sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts back on the menu now!) The short rib gnocchi and scallop lettuce wraps were DIVINE. We all overate but with no regret. Ambiance - FUN. Laid back, vibrant. Great for groups, family dinner, drinks with friends, dates. Nothing fussy about this place, and yet it serves up the most high quality seafood you could get in the Twin Cities. Like I said earlier, a rare gem. If you haven't gone, go! If you've already been, definitely go back. The menu is always changing, and there is always something new and delicious to explore. Serious kuddos to this restauranteur and his team for adding fun flavor to the lakeside scene. read more

I was in MN over the weekend visiting a friend and this restaurant made a lasting impression on me. I wish I could take it back home with me to NYC where it would be a total hit and my go-to spot! The crew members at Baja Haus are so welcoming and are truly passionate about providing a laid back, healthy, flavorful and fun atmosphere. I was here with a group of over 10 people and was able to try many of the menu items. Everything was notably made fresh and packed with flavor that left you feeling guilt-free yet very satisfied. I paired my meal with their Haus Margarita and didn't stop with just one to say the very least. They were too delicious! I'd highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who's looking for a unique dining experience. I can't wait to visit my MN friends and return to Baja Haus! read more

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. From the service, to the margaritas, to the food. It just screams overpriced bs. The food at best is a 2. The drinks at best are a 2. But service is negative -5 in my books. I wouldn't recommend at all. After asking for a salt free margarita, I received a salted margarita. We also ordered salsa and chips and they overcharged us for all of the salsas and drinks we ordered. The bartender also said "stfu whore" to a woman behind me but at the time I thought it was me. It made me very uncomfortable until I realized it was the woman behind me. To be honest, I don't think "shit talk" with your friends around work is appropriate as customers can overhear this. I was then entirely disappointed with the bartender's demeanor after realizing we were just grabbing an app and a margarita then jetting. We just wanted to get out of there after the rude comments and lack of hospitality. Regardless, poor and inappropriate service. The salsas didn't wow me. I wouldn't go back. It's sad because I love Wayzata and I love good margaritas and tacos. read more

Came here a second time in a group of six. Appetizers were very good - habernero salsa has a nice burn, cheesy corn salsa really good on chips with the habernero ... crispy Brussels Sprouts. This time I got the Barbacoa burrito. Really good, better than Chipotle, but perhaps not worth $17. Small amount of rice and beans. I was not drinking tonight, but the other five were. Drinks were weak - margaritas etc, meaning the liquor was not noticeable. Service fabulous. Just noticed the surfboards on the wall today. Single men's bathroom. I would definitely come back. read more

Had an excellent spicy margarita and tuna poke appetizer. It was full of flavor and tasted super fresh!

This is our favorite restaurant, our go-to spot in the twin cities. We love Billy, Josh, and especially TROY!!! And everyone here. The food is awesome, drinks are great, and the environment is full of energy. Some favorites are haus margaritas, bad hombre, steak tacos, queso, corn, Baja poke, wings, Niman ranch steak and the SERVICE at the bar!!!!! Did we mention Troy? read more

This place is pretty amazing! Took my husband out for birthday dinner and really everything was fabulous! We tried the guac (so fresh!!!), queso (not my fav), Street corn, steak street tacos and Ribeye. I would go back JUST for that Street corn, it was THAT good. Also one of the best ribeyes we've ever had and we eat a lot of steak! It's a little cramped and loud do my personal taste but seriously my only reason for 4 and not 5 stars. Service was also totally on point! read more

Great cocktails and food! My favorite is the bad hombre. Atmosphere is always inviting and fun here

Food was great. Very refreshing, clean flavors for this time of year in Minnesota. I had tuna poke, diver scallops and a great dessert. Kathleen had fresh chips with guacamole, fish tacos and a different dessert. All excellent and highly recommend. As we were leaving, the owner asked how everything was and we had a nice conversation with him. Though we live in Wayzata we haven't been to Baja Huis for a year or so. This will be changing. read more

Absolutely love this place! The bartenders and servers have always been amazing and very friendly, drinks are too tier and food is never disappointing! read more

I love two styles of Mexican restaurants. Authentic Mexico City style restaurants and fresh nuevo takes on Mexican food. Baja is a nuevo style restaurant. Baja checked all my restaurant "Will be back" list items: -Fun, bright, colorful and welcoming. -Fresh, yummy, well prepared and presented food. -Excellent servers and service. -Affordable prices with a good Happy Hour. Hey this is Wayzata where finding a good and reasonably priced restaurant is not easy to do. -Friendly engaged owner. Billy made us feel really welcome and was very involved with all the customers. Restaurant owners who are actually around and paying attention to their customers is becoming rare in these days of large corporate chain restaurants. I highly recommend Baja Haus and we'll be back soon. read more

Best. Tacos. Ever. Seriously, the tacos here are AMAZING!! Tonight was our first time at Baja Haus and we will be back for more. The atmosphere is casual, modern and comfortable. We came at 6:15p on a Friday night (just missed the 4-6pm happy hour) but we were sat immediately and the service was on point and friendly. Between the two of us we decided to skip the appetizer and split 3 orders of tacos instead. Each order of tacos came with 2 tacos and a side of rice and beans. We picked the chicken, grilled steak and grilled fish tacos. My favorite was the chicken, my other half's favorite was the grilled steak. We both left with FULL bellies and super satisfied hearts. Sorry no pictures for proof...you'll have to trust me on this one! read more

This was my first time dining here with a group of friends who had been here several times before. Our service was good, although it wasn't overly busy at 830pm on a Friday night. I ordered the pork chop, and the moment the plate showed up in front of me I knew I was in for a downhill experience. 26 dollars worth of a small piece of dry, unseasoned leather. By far the worst chop I've ever had that couldn't even be saved by sawing through it and drenching it in whatever sauce it was sitting in. Absolutely terrible that the kitchen let this out. To be fair, I tried the Pollo Loco chicken that a friend ordered and I would recommend that, especially for the price. I also tried a friend's ribeye, and that was pretty solid as far as being well cooked and a quality cut of steak, although a bit under seasoned. Although good, harder to justify the price when you can go to a designated steakhouse for around the same price. I also want to note that this was his third time here and had the chicken twice before, and wasn't let down either time. STAY AWAY from the pork chop and go with the chicken, which has a track record of being successfully ordered by someone 3 times in a row. read more

Went here for restaurant week and loved the tuna poke, tacos, AND the tres leches dessert. All three were phenomenal and honestly probably not what I would regularly pick but very happy I did. The tres leches was the perfect finish since it was light and not over powering-very similar to a bread pudding. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a casual and cute atmosphere that just wants food done right! read more

Sally. Sally was one of the meanest servers I've ever had. We were seated in very empty main dining area annoyingly right next to the drink station. The huge, open bar area was bustling but still plenty of good seating. We found out after we ordered a drink that the half price happy hour only applied in the bar area. Sally literally told us there were no drink specials! (Found she was lying on the menu) So we were gonna move, but sally was so stand offish we decided to just leave. AND she charged us almost $10 for the drink my wife didn't even have a sip of. Sad. We live nearby and had never tried. So we never will. read more

This is easily my favorite restaurant in the western suburbs. They have a well cultivated menu with a wide variety of options for their coastal grille. The owners are so nice and take time to get to know the people they are serving each day - truly an environment that will leave you wanting to come back! They are also very conscious of covid-19 - all staff are wearing masks and restaurant is sanitized very often so it's super clean. I highly recommend the yuca, jicama chips, steak burrito/bowl, mussels, and any of the shrimp tacos! read more

LOVE Baja Haus! The light hearted atmosphere lifts your spirit with color and whimsical displays. Josh is such an attentive owner who creates a warm, welcoming environment. Their margaritas are awesome, those Brussels are the best you will find anywhere and we love the fish tacos. My husband loves the burritos and the bowls!....everything we have tried has been great read more

Overpriced and overrated. Two drinks, an app & tacos will cost you $40-50. We went on a Friday night when they opened at 4:30PM (confusing because some online sources said 4pm, might want to fix that!). We tried the "bad hombre" and "sexy mongolian" cocktails - pours were small and drinks weak. Sad at $12/ea! The chips and guacamole ($10) had the smallest container of guac, pico & sleeper salsa. We asked for more chips which were another $3 (nothing is free in Wayzata). We split the chicken tinga tacos (2 for $13). They were drowning in sour cream and the shell broke after two bites. I won't be back...several places with better quality, authentic Mexican food and much cheaper! read more

Friday night wait for a table was 55 mins so we walked down the blvd to kill sometime, no call ahead or reservations can be taken. The Steak tacos were tasty & the chicken tinga had a nice flavor. The salsa trio was a very small portion for the price. You get what you pay for-for me I rather go to an authentic taco shop and feel like I got a better value for my money. read more

We walked in on a Friday night and the place was full of people and blasting with pounding music. Actually, it was a little too loud and I was basically shouting across the table to be heard. We were able to get a table right away which was a plus. My husband and I both got house margaritas and somehow we ended up with an extra one which our waitress just gave to us on the house! No virgin drinks listed on the menu but you can ask for the margaritas to be made virgin. I got alcohol in mine and it was weak, even for a lightweight like me. For the food: CHIPS & SALSA - Not on the house? $10?! I thought complimentary chips & salsa were a given, but I was wrong! It's a bit pricey for what you get but they were a good compliment to the meal. The chips I hear are made fresh and had a satisfying crunch. They come with guacamole, pico, and a third salsa that was orange and creamy. HAMACHI CEVICHE - Tasty, but this was a lot smaller than we were expecting. It was about 5-6 pieces of thinly sliced fish. $17 ALOTE CORN - Flavorful, but I was expecting a full husk of corn and we got a small pile of kernels. $9 GRILLED FISH TACO - Nothing special. When we first ordered, I thought it might be too much food but it ended up being too little. While everything was tasty, it was pricey while still leaving my husband hungry at the end (so hungry he made us stop to pick up takeout on the way home!). Given that it's a bit of a drive for us to get there, we likely won't be returning soon. read more

Excellent fish tacos and ceviche. Yes you are going to pay more for food in DT Wayzata but you already knew that. The layout is unique but I liked the large bar area. Great ambiance and great service from everyone. My only complaint is that they don't serve lunch yet, but they assured me that it is coming. read more

Very fast. Much too fast. We were seated and swept back out onto the sidewalk in less than 25 minutes. I'm looking forward to trying this place again when they have more dishes available. Chips and salsa - fresh made, guacamole, pico de gallo Jicama salad - crunchy, tasty Taquitos - little fried mini rolls filled with good stuff Cheese rolls - tried to order but they ran out (at 5pm) Elote corn - ran out Fish tacos - very fresh Chicken tinga tacos - just ok, mine fell apart immediately Prawns - too smoky, weirdly mushy, heads unnecessary Yucca - crisp and flavorful Thank you, please leave now. read more

Go to chipotle or Qdoba, it's better food larger portions and it's warmer. Sent my bowl back and it was barely like warm both times. Flavor was a solid meh. Date had two mushy chicken tacos that fell apart so she ate them with a fork. Definitely a pass. read more

We had a great experience at Baja Haus. Billy knows how to run a restaurant. I'm wondering why this place doesn't rate higher. We had great food, cocktails, and service. We brought our 6 month old and it was perfect for many different types of diners, date night, family night, little guy with mom and dad. I'd say the food was the best part. Only potential downside is it's not inexpensive but it's not expensive either. Give it a whirl and rate it for yourself. read more

Baja Haus - Corn was damn good and they were very accommodating to an allergy. - Seafood Near Me - Wayzata, Minnesota

Very over priced. There wasn't anything in my taco even. The yucca was decently good but would not recommend anything else. Even the margarita left a lot to be desired. For how much I love sushi fix I hope they get it together. But as of now I would never go back. read more

Baja Haus fell far short of my expectations. The guacamole was bland and the ceviche tasted extremely fishy. I could only eat one bite and I typically love ceviche. The tacos had hardly anything in them and the chicken was extremely fatty and hard to eat. On a positive note, the red snapper and pineapple salsa was good! This is not a place I'd revisit, but the atmosphere is fun and the drinks were good. More of a happy hour spot than a delicious dinner spot. read more

The ceviche of the day was great! Chips and gauc were home made and very good. The haus margaritas on happy our are $7 instead if $10 and very good. Shrimp tacos were really good and cooked well. read more

Your food captured the blandness of traditional Mexican food and your price reflected the pretentiousness of Wayzata. Good job?

Great place in Wayzata... surfin' theme in Minnesota, helps forget the cool weather. Staff was very nice and helpful. I had the tacos which were very good. It is a little expensive, but it is in Wayzata. read more

Baja Haus - Tacos were very good... - Seafood Near Me - Wayzata, Minnesota

Went here with a reservation for restaurant week. Having been to many restaurants post-pandemic I usually feel very safe even dining indoors-have visited multiple other restaurant week restaurants within the last few days that felt well socially distanced and safe. When I walked into Baja Haus, however, I immediately noticed SO MUCH CROWDING. I thought-I'm sure it's fine these must be bigger groups and they will have a table that's more spaced out from others for our group of two. That was not the case. I was less than a foot away from both other tables I was in between-both groups of four. I didn't feel like being exposed to 8 unmasked strangers considering the precautions I've taken over the last year-and left. Disappointing because I was excited to try! read more

Parking: easy to find. Decor: beautiful tropical looking with the bikes hanging from the ceiling. Food: good food. Great appetizers. Tacos from the main course were insipid but I really enjoyed salmon. Not so tasty dessert though. Server: greatly attentive, friendly yet professional. Overall a good experience! read more

I'm going to begin with the ambience. It is difficult to discern whether or not they are trying to be a hip SoCal place or a 50s malt shop, which was slightly confusing. Whatever Decour they were trying to achieve fits the $14 tacos a lot more than the $36 entrées, I must say. The squid, ribeye, and margaritas were all very good, same with the chicken tacos, but I do not see anything unique about this restaurant that would make me want to come here in comparison to the other restaurants in the area. read more
