Baja Mexican Cuisine - Best margaritas and Mexican food! - Mexican Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Worst service I've had in quite a long time. Food tasted like something I could've cooked blind, do not come here.

Let's just say since stumbling across this establishment a couple weeks ago I have already been here twice. The drinks were delicious my choice was a coconut margarita and both times delicious. The hospitality on point. The bartender George' awesome and great conversation. The decor is nice as well. I have not had a chance to try the food due to both times going was mainly for drinks but it's on my list. If ever in Hoboken a must try read more

Baja Mexican Cuisine is a Mexican restaurant that has developed a disturbing pattern of unprofessional and unsafe behavior toward its customers -- especially people of color. My own experience: We sat at the bar and were told margaritas were $6 plus $1 for flavor. When the football game got too loud, we asked to move outside to the patio. Suddenly, the price doubled to $14 per margarita -- something no one disclosed when we moved. When we questioned the bill, the manager (a blonde woman) came outside, spoke less than 25 seconds, offered zero de-escalation or customer service, and instead immediately called 911. Imagine that -- calling the cops on paying customers over a $7 discrepancy. That is reckless, insulting, and flat-out dangerous in today's world. And it isn't just me. Multiple reviews on Google describe the same blonde manager being rude, dismissive, and hostile toward Black and Brown guests. Some were refused service, some were humiliated publicly, and in my case, she weaponized 911 without asking a single question or trying to resolve the matter. For a Mexican restaurant to repeatedly treat people of color this way is outrageous and unacceptable. I recorded the interaction, and it lasted no more than 25 seconds before she escalated to calling the police. My Reddit post about this has already been viewed over 51,000 times and shared nearly 100 times. I plan to continue posting this video and my experience across platforms to push for accountability. Look at the other reviews and decide for yourself Calling the police on customers over a simple billing question isn't just bad service -- it's dangerous. Hoboken has too many great restaurants to waste time or money at a place where management thinks this is acceptable. read more

I wish I didn't have to write this. This was always one of my favorite places we had the fish. I had the fish tacos and it was like five little pieces of snapper in the fish two tacos, some refried beans and rice. I don't wanna tell you the price,The salsa at the bar was way too spicy. I don't know. I don't think I'm ever gonna go back here. I must say the staff was helpful and pleasant. That's the only reason why I gave them any stars. read more

Delicious food, friendly service! Went here for a third date. We sat outside and it was nice atmosphere, but be warned of the bus coming every so often LOL. The chicken was moist and flavorful, rice was so tasty and perfectly salty, and the chips and guac didn't disappoint. Drinks were also great and had the right flavor to alcohol ratio. Will definitely be back to try a different cocktail and food item. read more

Visited on a Saturday night (after visiting pier 13 and not liking any of the options there). Restaurant was pretty empty and we were seated immediately. Nicely decorated both inside and out. Waiter was friendly and attentive. Shrimp burrito was good but I never had a burrito where my rice was on the side so that was a little off putting. Also had a mojito which was good! read more

Good food. Will visit again for sure. Close to the transit system. The chips were great

The food here is reliable and delicious. My boyfriend and I come here minimum twice per week. We like to sit at the bar with Jorge who is personable, hilarious and very attentive. We love the grilled chicken quesadilla, taco Tuesday nights 2 tacos for $10. The arroz con pollo is fabulous. And the guacamole is delicious as well. Would recommend if you're looking for great casual Mexican food read more

This is not the same place it was even 2 years ago. The meat in my wife's avocado salad was paltry, my go-to steak fajitas had maybe half of the steak it had the last time I ordered it--literally, it must have had less than 4 ounces of protein on the plate--, and even their helpful tequila menu has vanished from the tables so you'd better know what you like from your quick walk past the bar. The vegetables are nicely cooked and the homemade tortillas and guacamole are very nice, but whoever is watching the plates come out without quality checking them is asleep at the switch. The glowing reviews you read below here, specifying the names and personalities of each employee: how do they know them so well? It certainly looks like the new owners have prompted their friends to flood the reviews with perfect ratings. What good restaurant has to do that? Why not actually improve what their customers are complaining about? Because their energy is going into denial, not improvement. I don't hold out hope for this group of owners. I hope the next ones return the place to its former excellence. read more

I didn't have high expectations for salmon from a Mexican cuisine restaurant but woah! The salmon dinner was delicious!! It was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Flavor on point! Highly recommend. The grilled veggies had a nice char on them too! I don't eat peppers though. I ate the squash. It came with rice and black beans. The rice was good. Had some kind of flavor. I only had a bite. And the black beans were perfect. Delicious. I ate them all. I will definitely be reordering from here! Want to try their other foods and the salmon again. Highly recommend!! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE I have come many times before and I have never brought someone that didn't like it. The staff is courteous and the food is delicious. Probably my favorite restaurant salsa and chips and they keep it coming. I really enjoyed my michelada and my friend enjoyed her jalapeño margarita and said it was nice and spicy. My go to order is the baja special for 2 and it's enough to feed 3 or 4 and includes grilled steak, chicken and shrimp, garlic shrimp and shrimp parm. It also comes with rice, beans, tortillas and guacamole. Everything is super fresh and soooo tasty. Definitely must try read more

The food and service is great. The atmosphere is really pleasant. My wife and I love their Mexican cuisine.

Over a year ago, I had learned that the long-time owner of Baja had retired, and that the place was taken over by two of its dedicated patrons. Since then, I had only been to restaurant for drinks, until a recent visit for dinner. The menu had changed, and I no longer saw my old standby of the Alambre Cancun with grilled chicken and shrimp with rice; they now only had the dish with shrimp alone. Because of this, I, instead, opted for the Grilled Chicken Fajitas, another dish I used to order rather often. While I waited for my meal, I enjoyed the same tortilla chips and refreshing salsa of yesteryear. I did not have to wait long, however, as the server quickly brought over the sizzling platter. The chicken was well-marinated and extremely tender. It was served with yellow rice, onions, peppers, guacamole, sour cream, and black beans (also had the option of refried beans). Overall, I thought the dish was excellent and less greasy than it had been in the past. I would have loved more than just 2 thin slices of bell pepper, though; there used to be many more and in thicker slices. While it might not be the same Baja of your memories, it is still excellent and worth a visit. read more

Eehhhhhhh, if you're looking for the most average restaurant in Hoboken... you have found it. Not sure why the reviews were so stellar? It was giving white man cooking Mexican food. The service was also not great, took 15 mins to get water (both times we've been) Have to be honest, first time we came we sat for an hour without our order being taken so we wanted to give it another try and it did not impress or disappoint? (My roommate said 6.8/10 for reference) PS- skip on the jalapeño poppers... taste EXACTLY like the ones at Carls Jr (iykyk) Fun outdoor patio tho and good drinks! read more

Baja Mexican Cuisine - Jalapeno Poppers (6 per order) - Mexican Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

I'm a huge fan of standard Tex-Mex fare - chips and salsa/guacamole, margaritas, and enchiladas, and Baja did not disappoint! We came with a group of five during prime time dinner rush on a Saturday night after making reservations a few days before. We had no issues making a reservation, so good start. I started off with a spicy margarita that came with a huge fresh jalapeño garnish. Despite having the jalapeño on it, the margarita itself was just the right amount of spicy; I've had ones that were almost unenjoyable to drink before, but this was just right. Our table split an order of fresh guacamole and of course, many baskets of crisp, fresh chips and salsa. Baja's salsa is smooth, reddish brown and not chunky - my preference. The guacamole was very fresh and delicious... and demolished within minutes! For an entree, I ordered the enchiladas a la parrilla but switched the enchilada sauce to verde sauce. The enchiladas themselves were a little dry because cheese was baked on top of them, but I added a bit of sour cream and leftover guacamole and they were tasty. Staff was fairly attentive and service was pretty quick given that it was a busy Saturday night. Overall, great experience and will definitely go out of my way to come back next time I'm in Hoboken and craving Mexican. read more

The service was one of the best I've had not only in Hoboken but also all of New York. The food and drinks (tacos, quesadillas, margaritas, and amazing fresh steak) are absolutely phenomenal. Lastly, my girlfriend is celiac so they offer tons of gluten free options that aren't cross-contaminated so by far safe. Enjoy!!! read more

I can't recommend Baja enough. The food was incredible and the drinks were top notch. We ordered the classic margarita and the spicy margarita with tajin on the rim. Both were made to perfection. The house was a good mix between tart and sweet, the spicy wasn't too spicy but had a nice kick. The mix they use for the tajin rim was wonderful as well, they added a little salt with it. For dinner we ordered the steak fajitas and the steak chimichanga asada. OMG. THE STEAK!!!! It was so tender and had so much flavor. I feel a lot of Mexican restaurants over cook their steak and don't care to season it well but this was PHENOMENAL. I really can't say enough about how good the food was. We will certainly be back! read more

This place is the absolute worst and I would never go there nor order from there. Ordered today online and it said it was open to have a rude man wave at me from the window when I went to pick it up. They were not open and they charged me for my food. Worst service ever. read more

After we finished our meal, the hostess came out and rudely asked, "Did you pay the check?" When we said yes, she curtly told us, "OK, so you guys have to go." We explained that we were waiting for the rain to die down and that they could clear the table. Despite the restaurant being near closing with no other parties waiting for a table, she proceeded to go to other tables and told patrons they had to leave while they were still eating. The worst part was when she approached a family with two elders and children, telling them in the exact words, "You have to get up and get out," and when confronted, she yelled, "Get the fuck out." This family was so nice and clearly confused by her aggression. To make matters worse, she even grabbed the seat from under the elderly man, causing chaos. Other tables stepped in to defend the family, and all hell broke loose. The owners finally came out but instead of addressing the rude hostess, who was obviously under the influence, they yelled at everyone and told us to leave. Do not waste your money at this trash restaurant! The service is terrible, the staff is unprofessional and rude, and the management is completely inept at handling situations. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this place at all costs! read more

Love this place! Always good! I always order a chicken quesadilla and it is consistently good. The drinks are amazing!

not sure why they feel they can charge 25$ for a simple burrito!! extremely unreasonable... this place has suffered for a while and looks likes it will continue to .... We ordered an 2 small apps and 2 margaritas and paid over 80$ , WTF! Nope~~ last time, it sucks it was just starting to turn around but charging these prices is beyond ridiculous...... good luck, food is 5/10 at best so never again! read more

I ordered the crispy Taco with chicken. When I opened the food the meat looked like ground meat so I called the restaurant and explained the issue. The person on the phone ask if the meat was brown or white ( I said brown) after a short pause he came back on the phone and told me the kitchen said it was chicken. I said it is not, I know the difference between chicken and ground meat. He then told me they have being make it this way for 15 yrs, so basically I was wrong. He offered to send 2 new tacos. The deliverey seem very annoyed when he came with my new order. I wanted to stop on the way home to show them what they delivered (but no parking available). Note to Baja listen to your customer. Here are the photos of the meal and as you can clearly see the first order was ground meat. I will not be eating from you again. The meal was blah! I love Mexican food and this had no flavor. read more

The good-music, drinks and service. Recommendations-add house music (like hugel or something like that vibe), add an extra taco to the meals. 7 dollars a taco is pretty ridiculous. Bottom line is the food needs to be better. Come out hot and flavorful. If you want it packed during the day on weekends, add brunch specials with discounted margaritas. read more

Went here for an anniversary dinner and got the perfect outdoor table on a nice day. Originally, we went to city bistro down the street but they stopped doing happy hour and that's kinda the whole reason we went. So, we walked by this place. They drew us in with their $8 margarita special and kept us there with the free chips and salsa! My bf & I shared a burrito smothered in salsa verde which was also great! We came for an early dinner around 5 so it was before the dinner rush. We got excellent service and fresh food. I recommend. read more

Amazing food, drinks and service!! Jorge is engaging; he kept checking in on us - his service was impeccable!!

As a Californian with high standards for Mexican food this is by far one of the best Mexican restaurants in all of New York State. I highly recommend the steak quesadillas and passion fruit margaritas. The manager is consistently involved and treats the customer with great respect. read more

Came here for the first time and we loved it. Definitely will come back again. The food was fresh and hot. Our server was sooo pleasant. We asked for their hottest hot sauce and she was nice enough to bring a milder version. That was the best because we could t handle the hottest We had two special margarita. A fajita a camarones and a chicken fajita. The chicken fajita was a generous portion. Shrimp fajita was reasonable. Love that it came with guacamole and beans Very reasonably priced. Two drinks and two entrees tax and tips for two is under $80. read more

Visited here yesterday, by accident. I was supposed to eat across the street at Madison but, it was too noisy, and it wasn't the vibe I was looking for. So we came across the street to what I thought would be a hidden gem. It was ehhhh.. Upon arrival, the bar tender, just looked bored/annoyed.. not really all there. But he took out information down and then sat us at our table in the back. The waitress very friendly came asked for our drink. Mojitos, and margaritas. Both very good. I then tried the sangria, it was great!!! The food. Not so great. We ordered the ceviche, and for $14 I expected the food to taste a lot better. The ceviche tasted old, just not right. I then ordered a chimichanga and my husband ordered the shrimp with garlic. My chimichanga was good. The guac. Not so tasty. It was ehhhh... the shrimp with garlic, not good. He ate it, because we paid for it, but it was bad tasting. Very off putting. The only person that really enjoyed the meal was my son, because he loved the chips, and he had French fries and chicken, and he ate it all up. Other than that, I did not like it. The service was great, the drinks was great the food. Not so much. Will I come again....?! Only for drinks.. The potiental is there! Fingers crossed next time I go, food taste fresher. read more

$60 for cold, unseasoned, and frankly probably undercooked food. Perplexing. How is this 3.3 stars.

We went to this place today, 5-25-24, for dinner. Table for 2, we sat outside... we had 1 round of drinks (1 house frozen margarita, 1 corona light)... shared 1 appetizer (the shrimp stuffed with jalapeno, cheese, breaded and deep fried, you get 2 on a plate with kind of wilted lettuce and some pico de gallo and sour cream), the cakey breading was cold, the inside shrimp/jalapeno was warm... ergo, microwaved, I thought they were sad. My partner had skirt steak and shrimp fajitas, I had skirt steak tacos. Our bill was around $108 plus tip. I found that exorbitant given the quality of the food. Their skirt steak was very flavorful, I'll give them that. They seem to know what they're doing with one protein and the salsa and chips, but nothing else in my opinion. We were charged for a ramiken of house hot sauce... Don't waste your time at this place... Go to Orale Mexican Kitchen in Jersey City... better everything, less of a rip off. They have 3 house hot sauces and they come with your meal. The service was fine. read more

So very disappointed! After 35 years, the food has become disgusting..They use something that resembles cheese wiz, horrible. The restaurant was EMPTY, now we know why! The service was terrible, the waiter messed up the order then disappeared for so long that we had to go find him for the check. We told him he should pay attention and he turned and complained to the manager, telling her something that we definitely did not say. I think there was a language barrier. We will NEVER come back again, yuk!! To cement our decision, the manager banned us LOL! We've never been banned from anywhere...beam me up Scotty! DO NOT GO THERE! After reading more reviews, I can see the manager mistreats customers and as the leader does, so does the staff!! read more
