    I absolutely LOVE Mexican food so was super excited when I came across a chimichangas in my new…read morehaunt (hereford). There's recently been a whole load of new development in the city centre giving way to this place, other restaurants, shops, cinema and even a waitrose. The area is lovely, very modern and clean. Considering it's been around for about a year, the place still looks brand new ! So.. Chimichangas.. I had great expectations of this place and upon entering the restaurant we were greeted by very friendly staff and shown to our seats. The interior is done well, spacious and modern with plenty of booth seating as well as tables The menu was pretty extensive offering all sorts of Mexican favourites (fajitas, burritos, quesadilla) as well as various meats and paella etc. Prices are not cheap but are fair. Good drinks selection too and a great cocktail menu. The food came and I had opted for a chimichanga considering I hadn't actually had one of these before. Other half opted for enchiladas. You could choose from a variety of meats as filling so I went for the pulled pork which I haven't eaten for about a year so had good expectations and other half opted for beef. Great portion sizes, both of these meals came with rice and black beans which were lovely. In terms of the actual star attraction though.. The meat didn't really taste of very much.. It was stuffed full of fresh veg etc. But it kind of felt like I was eating nothing.. This may have been a one off though and I am more than willing to come back and try again!! We still left happy and with full bellies so not all was lost. Regardless of experience this time, j love Mexican food so much I have a feeling this may become a regular stop for me when I am in town !

    i am a HUGE lover of Mexican food so first stop had to be Chimichangas when I got to hereford,…read moreunfortunately...it was a huge let down:((( I couldn't even blame the place being busy as it wasn't, we had to wait what seemed an eternity for the one member of staff that seemed to be running around like a loon taking orders to come and get our drinks order, then another longish wait for the drinks to come, then an even longer wait to get the food order in, at this point we had sunk more than a few cocktails, we ordered enchilada and burrito, it was really disappointing :( I think they forgot to actually put any chicken in the enchilada as I could only find a few strands in amongst a whole load of veg it was like a bad spring roll:( the burrito was exactly the same, so in a nutshell pricey food but you don't get what you think you are getting, they should have said it was a vegetarian meal because thats exactly what we both got:( cant say I will be back in a hurry pricey not tasty but we ate it as we were starving

Hard to find these days for a place to do that especially in the UK. The manager was super nice and helpful. I have to say if your vegan or vegetarian try their foods. The pro hint, make reservations on line. Con: busy lol, this is a good thing for sure

However, we visited one hot Saturday evening after booking a table online (which is a great idea) and the air con was either not on at all or up high because it was that hot in there is made my father ill, we were all sweating buckets within about 5 minutes..not a great start. We ordered starters and main courses for 6 of us, we were given our starters and before we had chance to even start these, one of the servers bought over one of the main courses, to which I asked him to take it back to the kitchen after he had stood there for a minute with it in my dad's face waiting for him to take it. I had the breadboard with oil and vinegar to start. The bread was advertised as freshly baked, it was disgusting, it was so dense and hard like it had been sat out in the hot kitchen for god knows how long. Our main courses were not much to be desired either. Another server bought food over but there was no room on the table to put any plates, I had fajitas which came with overly dry tortillas and not enough salsa/sour cream etc to go in one let alone four wraps. I had to ask for a plate and a spoon for mine which due to the fact there was no room on the table was given to me to hold.....anyone who eats fajitas will know you can't make them up whilst having to hold your own plate. I eventually lost my patience and asked them to clear all the empty glasses to make some space. Not once did anyone ask us how the food was. It's not like it was that busy either. Then came the bill. ..be very AWARE of this because they added a gratuity to ours without our knowledge, at no point was this mentioned to us and nor did we read it on the menu. The ironic thing was that our server had seen us all putting money in the silver dish for the tip as well and still never said anything.......very deceitful if you ask me as we ended up giving a tip of nearly £40!!!!!!!! Needless to say we won't be back. Food was pants, cocktails were small, restaurant far too hot and cramped tables.

    It's clean was my first impression. Now let me say I have given up in finding true Mexican food in…read morethe UK, so I was skeptical. And it's not true Mexican that I am use to back in the states and that is not a bad thing. The food is what I would call Mexican inspired food and done really well. The lamb taco was more like a small burrito. The enchiladas was also more like a burrito. Now both were done real well I thought the lamb tasted better. The bar area was nice and trendy. Overall a very good experience. Oh the "hot wing" the non fired ones was really really good.

    Bedford has always been missing something when it comes to restaurant choice. Foregoing the obvious…read moreomissions of chains such as Ask or Cafe Rouge, there has been one giant missing piece which my taste buds have not thanks me for since moving to the town; the lack of a Mexican restaurant. Whilst many may not agree with me that Mexican food is some of the tastiest, loveliest, most homely cuisine you can honour your tongue with, I happen to absolutely love it. So as soon as I saw the sign, I was in like a shot to make a reservation (definitely something to consider if you want to go at peak times). Let's be honest with ourselves for a moment though. When you've been waiting for and wanting something for a long time, in the end it's more than likely to disappoint. So it was with a certain amount of trepidation that I entered Baja yesterday evening ready, as ever an Englishman tends to be, for disappointment. What I got was an explosion of spice, flavour and a sense that I'd been returning to this place again and again. I'd just found the best food in Bedford by quite some way. The restaurant itself is clean and modern, with just the right amount of colour to set the scene. A combination of tables and booths overlook, well not too much to be honest. The view outside wasn't spectacular (just some empty shops), but the view on my table turned out to be more than adequate. (As an aside, the bar at the back of the restaurant does have a better outlook, with the Castle Mound and river just in sight). I started with a bowl of Breaded Calamari and Tentacles, which was not only delicious, but also came in a portion that could feed a family of four. I'm definitely not complaining though; the squid was a perfect texture and the breadcrumbs gave a satisfying crunch. Spot on. There was the risk that after such a humongous starter, there wouldn't be any room left for the main course. That was until it made its heavenly appearance on the table in front of me. My Enchilada was stuffed with chicken, Mexican rice and beans, and sat on a bed of passata. Topped off with melted Monterey Jack cheese, salsa and crema, it practically melted in the mouth. There was a hint of coriander running through the dish, which set the whole thing off for me. As my Mexican-loving eyes are probably too big for my belly, I also chose Frijoles as a side. Black, pinto and kidney beans, refried and topped with crema and melted cheese. They were truly stunning. I could have happily sat and had a couple of those as a meal on their own. My dining companions' food was also very well received. In particular, the Big Baja Salad was a definite hit, coming in its own huge edible tortilla bowl and with more lamb than any one person would dare to eat in one sitting (again, not a complaint). Desert was a big no as we were all completely stuffed from the wonderful food, though next time I'll try and save enough room to sample a Sweet Chimichanga. The only real disappointment was with our cocktail. Our mojitos tasted of not much other than rum and definitely needed more than the single leaf of mint that had been put in the glass. But that's not really much of a complaint, when the meal itself was so well prepared. I made a point of saying before the meal arrived that I hoped I would finally find a restaurant in Bedford that I would want to return to frequently. I found it.
