    Small shrimp cocktail!!

    Checked out Baja Mar Taco in Pico Rivera and had the shrimp cocktail and the enchilado shrimp taco. Both were really fresh and tasty, and the portions were solid. Everything was fresh and had great flavor. The taco had a nice little kick without being too spicy. Loved both salsas from their salsa bar Only small thing I'd change is the shrimp cocktail--would be better served in a chilled glass instead of a plastic cup. Overall great spot. I'll definitely be coming back.

    Good fish taco spot. Big portions! Fish tasted fresh. Service was quick and kind. Inside about 8 tables. Part of a medium plaza with parking.

    Go on Monday or Wednesday for discount tacos! The shrimp tacos are good and the place is clean.

    Updating to let everyone know that their salsa cups are the TINIEST sizes ever. I brought in a bigger container to fill for a large group order (almost 20 tacos) and I was reprimanded and asked to use the tiny containers. I had to fill each sauce cup (about 20 total) and held up the entire self serve bar during prime lunch rush hour. This was really inconvenient and left me scolded for trying to fulfill my order. I understand salsa being limited, however, for large group orders, there should be a much bigger container to accommodate the group. Baja mar is not good for groups.

    Two taco plate

    The food comes out fresh! The two taco plate, you can mix or match any meat or fish. It comes with a drink! Soft drink or Fresca! My favorite is the cucumber! It's not overly sweet and you can taste the cucumber. Not like some other spot, they do not include Fresca with your meal. It comes as a separate charge. So this is a plus for me! Jaiva Tostada is always good. Everything is a 5/5.

    Burrito de Cameron enchilado, cocktail de Cameron and tacos de Cameron empanizado.

    I haven't been here for a while but good remans the same. I got a burrito de Cameron enchilado and it was delicious, every bite had a shrimp or 2, it did fall apart since it was so big, but that was ok because I ended eating it with the fork! My hubby got cocktail de Cameron and the flavor is so GOOD and had ALOT of shrimp as well. We also ordered the tacos de Camerones empanados and they were ok, that's why a 4. The employees were very nice and quick, it was fairly quiet at the time we went, 12:30 and not a lot of people. I heard a lot of people ordering tacos de asada, I will be back to try those.

    Stumbled across this place on my way to another place I was heading and had to try it. Don't let the looks deceive you! Good service and clean inside. I ordered a battered fish taco fully loaded, a chicken tostada, and a half order of beans and rice. They included a jalapeño toreado and had a green and red salsa bar with sliced lemons and pickled onions. The fish taco was absolutely amazing!!! Comparable if not better than La Bufadora and Taco Nazo. Yes it was that good! The tostada was okay and their salsas could use some work. The beans were good but the rice was really good. That fish taco though!!! Going back with the family to sample some of their other seafood delights and of of course their fish tacos!

    Solid service and delicious food. The fish tacos were perfectly crisp, the fish burrito was loaded, and the horchata did not disappoint. Highly recommend.

    First time coming to this restaurant. It does get busy for takeout orders, but they are so fast! We ordered the shrimp tacos plate and coctel de camaron. I loved that both dishes were flavorful.

    I've been eating at this spot for a few years now and it never disappoints especially when they are having their daily special of the fish tacos! So delicious! The service has always been great every time I have went. I'll be back for sure!

    Shrimp Nacho

    A friend ordered takeout for a gathering on 5/25/25 for dinner so I can't speak to the service or the ambience. However, I ordered the camaron burrito (I specifically said "grilled shrimp" because I saw that on Yelp), and was surprised to see the shrimp fried + battered inside. I was expecting the same shrimp that were on their signature nachos. I'm not a huge fan of fried food so luckily my friend who got a Al Pastor burrito was willing to swap with me. The Al Pastor burrito was significantly smaller than the shrimp burrito and tasted ok. Tastewise, the nachos really stole the show.

The idea was to enjoy my coffee while getting organized--paying bills, planning calendar events, and having the opportunity to focus without any distractions from my usual surroundings. In search of the perfect spot, I turned to Yelp, a reliable resource for uncovering hidden gems nearby. Upon stepping into the coffee shop, I was immediately greeted with warm hospitality, setting the tone for a delightful experience. The ambiance of the place was truly captivating--it was bright and welcoming, infused with an aesthetic charm that instantly put me at ease. I couldn't help but be intrigued by the design elements throughout the shop, which added an inviting touch to its overall atmosphere. Before I settled in, I asked the staff if I could snap a few photos to capture the essence of this delightful space. They graciously welcomed my request, and I was shown to my table, which, quite uniquely, was designated by a number--a small detail that I found charming. As I browsed the menu, I encountered a small conundrum: I wasn't entirely sure what to order. I wanted to break the mold and try something out of the ordinary. My curiosity was piqued by their exclusive offering of Café de la Olla--a traditional hot drink that piqued my interest right away. I ultimately settled on a hearty plate that included rice, beans, and enticing potato tostones, accompanied by two beautifully cooked sunny-side-up eggs. As I waited for my order, I noticed the café was filled with the sweet sounds of old-school music from the '60s and '70s, which only enhanced the cozy ambiance while I sipped my drink. Now, let's talk about the food! I must say, I rated the café itself a solid 4 out of 5 for its overall charm, while the rice earned a respectable 4 out of 5. The beans were rich in flavor and received a fair 3.9 out of 5. The potato tostones, delicately bathed in a savory red sauce, stood out with an impressive score of 4.3 out of 5--these are a must-try if you visit! And as for the sunny-side-up eggs, they were good, but hey, eggs are eggs, right? Overall, the entire experience was quite enjoyable, from the delightful food to the warm atmosphere. A special shout-out goes to Ana, whose exceptional customer service made my visit even more memorable. The combination of fantastic service, inviting aesthetics, and satisfying food truly made for a perfect morning retreat. I can't recommend this spot enough for anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind and focus on what matters.

It comes as part of an entree, but never found out which one. Turns out the cook/owner was once the executive chef at Angel Stadium. So food was solid, traditional and nothing fancy nouvelle or la de da...nothing crazy experimental...just good solid Mex that will satisfy a craving. The Jamaica was not too sweet not too sour....not watered down...light and refreshing....wish I had asked for a refill or maybe they don't do refills on agua frescos, I don't know. Very nice extensive menu. Plenty of free parking. Tucked in the corner of a strip mall on Roaemead Blvd. Not easily visible from the street in any direction. So pay attention to your GPS.
