I have two types of favorite food... Cheeseburger Tacos!!! The very first Eat the Street that my honey and I attended, we veered quickly to Baja Style Mexican Food because: 1. We followed them on Twitter. 2. I also knew that they also had a tent / area at Honolulu Farmer's Market. Did I regret it? No way, José! Especially when I ate their Taco Duros (see pictures). It didn't matter to me if the price was kinda steep for two tacos... it was worth it. The crunchy shell and taco fillings were delicious and crisp to where if you weren't thinking straight...you'd be digging into your pocket for another $8 to pay for two tacos At the Second Eat the Street, again I veered to their tent again and ordered the tacos. YUMMMMAYYYY Third Eat the Street...I had to regretfully and sadly walk away from them because I wanted to try the other food trucks that was there. But, I do know that should I ever venture to Honolulu Farmer's Market, they will be one of the vendors that I will be standing there, waiting to order those tacos that screams to me everytime I am near that tent. read more

A new vendor to join the Eat the Street event: Crispy Quesidilla - 4 stars for the taste, 3 stars for the price. For $7 you get a pretty good size quesidilla with a side salsa (see photo). Very crispy and flavorful, that you don't need the salsa to enjoy the flavor, but not worth a $7 dinner. I could probably eat 4 of them before I get full, which would exceed my budget. read more

Baja Style Mexican Food - Mexican Near Me

As a transplant from New England (which has some amazing Mexican food thanks to a sizable first generation immigrant population) I've been frustrated by the lack of homestyle Mexican food in Honolulu. A few places I've tried out here have one or two components right (e.g. the frijoles or the salsa), but no one's been able to make it sing. New flash, friends. The best Mexican on the island is at your local Farmers Market. I discovered Baja Style on a random trip down to the Blaisdell Wednesday night Market and their burritos are now a weekly pilgrimage for me. From the homemade tortillas to the salsa selection to the slow roasted meats, I literally cannot get enough of these things. Huge bonus that their beans are fat free and they use brown rice which makes this a relatively healthy meal in addition to tasting amazing. I would suggest first timers try the carnitas with the salsa verde (and throw on the guacamole for $1 extra - totally worth it). I'd love to be able to recommend some of their other dishes, but frankly, I can't make it past the burritos - they are just so good! read more

Most Mexican restaurants in Honolulu bore me, so I was excited to try huitlacoche quesadillas ($10) at the Baja Style food truck after seeing yummy photos on Twitter. Huitlacoche isn't the easiest ingredient to come by -- even on the mainland, but so lucky here since Baja's has them fresh from corn grown locally in Waimanalo. It's an earthy, deep flavor like some mushrooms, and combined with corn and melted cheese they formed a rich gooey package lovingly wrapped in a perfectly grilled homemade tortilla. Bright pico de gallo, cool cucumber? relish & a punchy tomatillo salsa were nice accompaniments. The BF had a very tasty smoked chicken & smoked ahi burrito ($10) but wanted my plate after he wolfed his food down. Wanted to try the other goodies they cook from scratch like the carnitas & chile verde but was too full and will just have to wait until next time. That's ok though since I got another huitlacoche plate to-go and will lucha libre wrestle the BF for it if I have to. ING location was great since parking was easy, and no crowds like at Eat the Street. https://twitter.com/#!/bajastylehi read more

Decided that I had to go to Augusts Eat the Street because the theme was spicy. Seeing that I LOVE spicy food it would be a sin not to go. Before I even got the Eat the Street I printed out a list of the vendors that were going to be there and highlighted which items I wanted to try. I stopped off at Baja Style Mexican Food because I knew I wanted to try one of their HOT tamales. I believe one was about $6. I thought that was a little steep seeing that they only gave me one and it wasn't big or anything, but I can appreciate the hard work and labor that went into making it. I got home and unwrapped it from the foil and Mmmhhmm did it smell spicy. It was delicious!! It was actually one of my favorite dishes. Not only was it so tasty but it was the hottest thing I had from Eat the Street (I tell ya I think vendors think we can't handle the hottness, but for this theme they should've turned up the heat!). Anyway, this place is awesome I will definitely try more items from them the next time around!! read more

We picked up some food from the truck at the Honolulu Night and Market. Waited about 20 minutes. I ordered the Al Pastor ($7), which I was hoping would be a decent size portion, but was slightly bigger than one of their tacos. Tasted pretty good, but not worth the price. My girlfriend got 3 jalapeno and cheese tacos ($10). She is full blown Mexican who knows and loves good Mexican food. The tacos were way too spicy. Couldn't even enjoy the taste of the taco. And she can take a pepper. It simply burned. There's no problem with making really spicy food, but make sure you can actually taste what you're eating at the same time. Also, they charge $1 for sour cream (which by the way, is just from a Costco size tub). Come on... And where were all the other options? I read reviews of burritos, nachos, enchiladas? wtf? I want those. I guess this particular time / truck / event only offered a limited selection and it probably wasn't their best dishes. We have yet to find good Mexican from our home in California.

Not worth a star! Worst tacos eaten in my life. Meat no flavor and salsa=wtf! Anyone can make shredded beef with no flavor and same with pork and chicken. On a sanitation note: the food crew dropped food and put it back on grill and one food prepper has open lesions below his elbow. Happy eating! Will never go to this place again! read more

Eat the street (and similar events with food) quite honestly disappoints me often. I want fresh, homemade, delicious, affordable food and it seems that I usually get 2 out of the 4. Baja Style Mexican food is definitely 4 out of the 4. 12" Chili Verde Burrito: Delish! Crepe-like tortilla, super thin & hand rolled then cooked on the flat top. I've never had a tortilla quite like it before and that is why this food truck gets 5 stars. They turned me on to something interesting and delicious that I will crave again. It really is as good as it gets in Hawaii for Mexican food when it comes to the burrito & that crepe-tortilla it comes in. They have salsas and pickled peppers/onions on the side for your choosing. The portion I had was stellar in comparison to other food carts which charge $7-9 for a bite sized plate. A small plate really needs to be $3-4 if you want to try multiple things. read more

I make sure to hit this place every time I'm at an Eat the Street event! They're one of the few food trucks that I follow on Twitter and they actually do what I think a food truck should: make the gourmet experience a little more accessible. I'm only sorry I couldn't try their specialty theme item from February's menu as they sold out (a good sign and one that a lot of the trucks were posting). I'll make sure to show up earlier next time! I'm a big fan of their burritos (make sure to try the chicharones) and the nachos. Both are good sized servings and I can say from experience they're still good after a night in the refrigerator. I especially like that the cheese used on the nachos isn't the standard thick sauce, but a crumbled cheese with a taste that really works well with the beans. The fresh ingredients really come through and and the fact that they're geared to be healthier than the average Mexican menu (OK, the chicharones might be a bit of a cheat-day treat) makes it definitely worth while! read more

Had the chile verde pork burrito w avocado for 11 bucks. It was the size of an entire plate and tasted like the food from a taco stand in SoCal. Great food and came w a drink from the ing cafe. i got it to go and they put the chile verde on the side so it didn't get too messy. tortillas are truly great. read more

Had the burrito with al pastor (pork). Hate to say this, but it was skimpy. For $11 I al least expected to be full. Overall, it was OK, but not good. Salsas are really good, Zaratez (Mexican place on King Street) could learn a thing or two from them. read more

The dish I was most excited to try at this month's Oktoberfest themed Eat the Street was the Jalapenos Rellenos from Baja Style because I used to eat Chile Rellenos all the time when I lived in SoCal. It's just too bad that they didn't take the seeds out so the first bite I took lit my face on fire and I couldn't enjoy the rest of my food. I went back to suggest that they warn customers about leaving the vein and seeds in so they weren't taken by surprise as I was and the girl taking orders was so nice and helpful and if it had stopped with her I would have left happy and willing to try them again. But instead the boss stepped in and instead of apologizing, told me in the most condescending tone that they leave the seeds in because, "they like it spicy." I told her that I liked spicy food too but I'd never been to a restaurant that left seeds in their peppers without warning customers. She talked down at me some more, because I obviously had no idea what I was talking about, threw her hands up and spat out, "I'll just give you your money back." I declined, even though I threw the food away because it was inedible, because she totally missed the point. I just wanted to make sure that others knew about the heat level before they got a mouthful of jalapeno seeds. So I left pissed because of her. But it's cool, I'll never go back because of that rude, rude woman. I assume she was the owner and I won't support an establishment where the owners mistreat their customers. read more

Amazing food! Tried them at the Cinco di Mayo street fest. Awesome is all I can say! And thier salsas! Nom nom nom! read more

Baja Style Mexican Food - Spicy pork burrito - Mexican Near Me

Tried this at eat the street yesterday. We ordered the Chile Verde Pork plate and the Carnitas plate. The flavor was really good! We like spicy, so I appreciate the fact that when they say spicy, they actually mean it. Portions were okay, but I think $7 instead of $9 would've been more reasonable. read more

Tried the beef tamale at the Eat the Street event and at the KCC farmers market the next day. Actually very delicious. A bit pricey considering the small portion size. $6 for one beef tamale. But I love tamales and this was a really good one. Filling was very spicy too which I liked. However, hard to justify 6 bux for one tamale. It would take three of these bad boys to get me full. Not sure I want to shell out $18 bucks for a meal of tamales. definitely worth a try if you like tamales. I hope to try their other stuff next time. read more

monster burritos? yes! crispy delicious nachos? yes! tacos, tacos, tacos? yes! they also have the "delicacy" known as Huitlacoche, or "Corn Truffles"::: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/baja-style-mexican-food-honolulu-4?select=nGCdfdcsxFb4wY4cyC8Gfw#73rKA4sYv54Jk8kdqwxUXA i've tried their monster beef burritos, and you def need a friend to help you attack this one.... its huge, and delicious. you mouth will say "feed me more!", but your stomach will say "girl you crazy"..... you can pick who wins this battle. O_O their pork carnitas nachos are particularly delicious with moist smoky pieces of pork, and they are even better when they fry their own chips! sometimes, when it is too busy, or if they run out, they'll use bagged chips.... so try to go early and get the fried kind! and their tacos are dope too! maybe some of the best taco's i've received from a truck.... plus, if they have any Agua Fresca, get some of that too! its delicious and refreshing! track them down when you can... and you're gonna get some good eats! read more

At the Honolulu Night + Market and got a little hungry. A friend of mine wanted some tacos so we stood in line at Baja Style truck. Ordered a few Al Pastors. I thought they were gonna be a burrito, but it was a medium tortilla filled with the great tasting meat. Not a burrito, a little bigger than a taco. Tasted good though. Just made me wish it was a burrito. I really liked their pickled onions. That was crack indeed with the salsa. I gotta try this place again to give it a better review indeed. I wish the had cheeseburger tacos. Maybe next time. read more

I appreciate the recognition and a response to my eat the street experience. I understand the challenge in managing the demand. I'll add stars for responding to my experience, I look forward to trying the chili verde and will arrive earlier. Thank you. read more

Love this food! Very tasty & authentic, but also healthy! Their burritos are the BEST! They always have specials, never been disappointed. Their salsas are to die for! read more

Try the vegetable quesadilla only $7 bucks. Then ask for the (huge scoop freshly made) guacamole on the side. Extra Cheese and you're still under $10 bucks for a good size, fresh, healthy (spicy) pan-fried large tortilla meal. read more

The owner Wendy is a thief and refused to pay me for over 40 hours of work! The food is made from crappy ingredients. Seriously, dont buy her food, she freezes the left overs many times and re-serves them...many have gotten sick. Stay away from this terrible food truck! read more
