We came hear on a Sunday afternoon at around 1:00 PM, parking was available but limited spots available. As we went in we were greeted by a hostess and were seated right away at the bar area as requested. The bar was not busy but there were people there also eating, the dining area was pretty busy and the service was pretty quick. The restaurant has a nice modern Mexican style look, they were playing bad bunny and other similar Spanish music and the sound system was good and not too loud. I order the black aquachiles which were pretty bomb and not too spicy, it was served with onions, avocado, black hot sauce and tostadas. My wife ordered the tacos gobernador and they were served in a wooden board and a side of some really good spicy Serrano chile. We had beer as well. Pretty good restaurant, they have definitely improved since the last few times I've been there in the past during covid. I would recommend this restaurant. Next we will try the micheladas, they have been good in the past and I'm sure they are better now. read more

I made a reservation for 3 PM today specifically to enjoy happy hour, which is clearly advertised on the restaurant's website with listed times and prices. I come here regularly--about twice a month--and have even celebrated my birthday here, so I felt confident in what to expect. When my husband and I arrived and asked for the happy hour menu, we were told it was not being offered "because it's Cinco de Mayo." While I obviously knew the date, there was absolutely no indication anywhere online or during booking that happy hour would be canceled. That was really frustrating and felt misleading. If there are exceptions to regular specials, especially on a day that might bring in more customers, that should be clearly communicated ahead of time. It doesn't make sense to remove happy hour entirely without offering any alternative promotions--if anything, I would expect more incentives on a day like this. We ended up leaving without ordering because the experience started off on the wrong foot. Disappointing, especially since this has been a go-to spot for us in the past. read more

Take out order. Sat at the bar while waiting for my food. Enjoyed a margarita. The bar tender was friendly and attentive. Very nicely decorated and big space. Really good chips & salsa. I ordered a carne asada wet burrito. I felt everything tasted good. It fell short on the meat and sauce. I thought they forgot to add the meat until I seen the tiny pieces. I also felt they could have put more sauce. It definitely was not smothered. read more

Came here for Happy Hour and i'm glad I did after looking at the regular prices on a normal day.. Yikes! Aside from that the QUESO BIRRIA TACOS were actually good and the consome as well. Only bad thing, they are little AF (me thinking they were going to be regular size and was getting a very good deal being HH). The TAQUITOS were quiet good as well. To drink I had 3 different flavored margaritas, favorite would have to be Cucumber and second choice would be strawberry. Will I go back.. yes, but for Happy Hour only lol read more

I was a little skeptical coming here because Mexican food is a hit or miss in the LA/OC area. The food did not disappoint! Everything down to the service( shout out to our server Michelle!) was on point! The ambiance was modern meets traditional Mexican cuisine. I'm definitively going to come back and to all my skeptical Mexicans out there; this place is legit! read more

Who knew I had a small gem of a spot a few minutes from home. The only reason why I came was because of the happy hour menu. In these times you want to enjoy some good drinks and food. The food? Wowwww the wings were delicious and the quesabirria were just darn good and great portion for the price. Service was attentive, note that I went on a Thursday 6pm. Vibe is dope music is playing and overall cool spot. The menu in general looks great so i can't wait to come back and try it again. read more

I came here to get a bite to eat after a long day at work, and it was close to my house. The ambiance was lovely, with good music and TVs showing sports of all kinds. Customer service at the bar was excellent, always asking if I needed anything. I decided to order their classic michelada and their Camarones Zarandeados. The michelada was really good. I don't know what they put inside their michelada mix, but whatever it is, it's really excellent. The camarones were terrific with delicious flavor and a good hint of spiciness. The green sauce that comes with it goes well with the camarones. My bill came out to be about $50 with tip. read more

Check your receipt before you leave! Met up with a buddy for a few beers and some appetizers. Had the al pastor fries and guacamole. They were tasty. The issue is they charged us for two orders of guacamole when we only ordered one. Why would we order two orders when it was only 2 people and we were only there for about an hour + we had al pastor fries + chips/salsa? Anyway, I should've checked the receipt, so I guess it's kind of my fault. But still, adding items that were never asked for to an order is a bit shady. Maybe it was a goof up. Idk. But as a customer, I expect the bill to be accurate. The food was good. I recommend the al pastor fries. I don't think the business should be punished for a mistake, so I would recommend people try it out. I just want to advise y'all to double check what you're being charged for before you pay. read more

Decided to try this place out, as we're in the area. We were greeted right away. We walked right in and sat at the bar. Chips & salsa were served. Salsa is good with mild bit of heat. (I don't do hot) Ordered a couple of drinks and they were well made. Food arrived quickly. My enchilada tasted so good. Lots of flavors. Wife had the taco and the chicken also was well flavored. The place is nice and clean with plenty of natural light. We were before happy hour, so we'll be back for that. (M~F 3~7pm) read more

Food was good was missing a bit of favor in my opinion. The first server was an older lady and was very welcoming. The girl that came to drop off our food was more worried about going to talk to her coworker that was on lunch break than us. She literally rushed to give us our food. I had to stand up and find the older server so I could get what I was missing. While the younger server was in a full on conversation with her other coworker right in front of our table. It was soo overwhelming to hear those girls talk about nonsense and male attention while you're trying to have a peaceful meal. read more

The food did not have good flavoring. Also, I ordered a fountain drink. There was carbonated gas in the soda. It was flat and taste like sugar. The waitress is very nice very accommodating and also the chips taste like they were fried and old oil they had an after taste that was not good. I've gone there. I will a couple of weeks before for happy hour. Everything was fresh and tastes was good I don't know. I felt bad because I took Family there. I'm trying to show them. The restaurant was good. Fortunately, they did not like the food. They were not satisfied that the flavor was not good. read more

Beautiful ambiance, amazing food, great service!! Loved it and will be back next time we are in the area.

I visited this Mexican restaurant for Taco Tuesday with a friend. We arrived around 5:30 pm and found the parking situation to be quite frustrating. The restaurant has a small parking lot that can probably fit around 20 cars, and there was no parking available. There's a small taco stand next door with its own private parking, but I didn't want to risk it, so I ended up parking down the street. Based on this alone, I won't be returning. We waited over 10 minutes for a server to come to our table. When they didn't, my friend had to go ask the hostess to send our waitress. She wasn't apologetic or gave a reason for the delayed service. She seemed very irratated when she approached our table. For drinks, I ordered a strawberry margarita and a mango margarita. They were good and didn't give me a headache like most sugary drinks, so that was a plus. I ordered two steak tacos, which came plain, and you have to add your own toppings from the taco bar. The music was VERY loud, making it difficult to hear my friend, who was sitting directly across from me. I couldn't wait to leave because the music was so loud, I felt like I needed earplugs. Overall, between the challenging parking situation, the slow service at the beginning, and the deafening loud music, I won't be back. read more

For an unlimited buffet and mimosas this was a nice place for brunch. El Baja bar & Grill is located close to us and we have seen them advertise their brunch on social media but have never had a free Sunday to go. We finally did and I'm glad we came to check it out. We arrived around 11AM and were seated right away. There were only about 4 other parties seated so it wasn't too busy. I will say maybe an hour or so after we arrived there were tons more people who arrived. The waitresses are nice and very attentive. They ask you what you want to drink and mimosas are included with the price and are bottomless. They come back pretty quickly to refill your glass once it's empty which is always a good thing. As far as the food it's really good quality for a buffet. Since this is a Mexican restaurant the focus is on Mexican food so you will find Enchiladas, Birria, Tacos Dorados, Quesedillas, Ceveiche, Sopes, Posole, Menudo, Concha's, even sushi and I known I'm missing a few things. They even have a person making fresh chilaquiles and omelettes. Every thing we ate was really good and didn't taste like just some ordinary buffet food that's just been sitting there. It all tastes fresh and would be a great stand alone dish if ordered on their own. The fact that you can keep coming back to grab more just makes it that much better. One thing to note is the music is kind of loud and has sort of a party vibe as there is a DJ playing the music. For us it was not a party and once you get a few mimosas in your in the partying mood. Just thought I would mention this if it isn't your vibe. I feel like it is a good value at $37.99 even if you don't drink. If you do partake in the mimosas I feel like it's an even better value. If you have been hesitant to try this place out for brunch I really think you should consider this for your next Sunday brunch outing. read more

If you need a GREAT place for drinks, food and entertainment El Baja Norwalk is the place to be. Alison is one of the best bartenders I have had the opportunity to meet. Super friendly and can mix up almost any drink you're looking for. I have tried a number of the food options they offer and it is all very flavorful and freshly cooked. It comes to your table so hot that you have to wait for it to cool down. Taco Tuesdays are always a hit, great selection of meats and plenty of fixings to pile your taco as high as you want. Thursdays and Sundays there is entertainment which is always enjoyable. Come see Allison at the bar, you will not be disappointed!!! read more

First time visiting for lunch around 2pm so there were hardly any people there but I could tell that it was a fun place! Lots of cool lights and speakers, I can only imagine how fun it can get! I had Mole enchiladas but with cheese only & their Mole was super yummy! It's hard to find a good quality Mole and this place has it. Their rice & beans were super tasty too. My friend had the burger & said it was good, I guess he wasn't feeling like good Mexican food, lol! We had very friendly service and they were very attentive. I would have given it 5 stars but they didn't have a Watermelon Margarita! This is summer, it's almost a must to have in a Mexican restaurant. They had it in a flight of Margs so it's interesting that they don't offer a full size one. I did have their Strawberry Martini and that sure was delicious! read more

First time leaving a review for Baja, we've been coming to this restaurant and location for years (through the name changes) we've gotten to know the servers and love the food Here. Today might've put a thorn in me, Sundays they offer a brunch menu, which is excellent. There was an issue when we wanted to order 2 scrambled eggs with bacon for our toddler (I would've paid for them al a cart or for the inconvenience) The server said she would ask the kitchen, came back and told us that the kitchen cannot and will not because of their brunch menu, even though they have the product. Working in hospitality I always make sure to go above and beyond for my clients. So this kind of pissed me off. I Guess this review is for management and kitchen staff. read more

This our 4th time here. Never wrote a review until now. Food is consistently great! So far we have tried many things on the menu and We still have yet to complain about any dish we have ordered. All delicious. Even their happy hour appetizers are delicious and better quality than your average happy hour food. All there wait staff we've ever had have been very sweet and efficient. The prices are reasonable. The music can be a little loud and hard to hear each other talk but it adds to the festive atmosphere. There's a separate bar for people who just want drinks. This is our go to place for Mexican sit down food. read more

I have being in restaurants with disrespectful waiters, but never in a place like this one. This will be the first and last time I visit this restaurant. The waiters got mad because my friend asked her for a plate because the shrimp ceviche had a lot of lime juice and she gave us so much attitude! This place doesn't deserve one start!

Beware of hair: Visited 2/21/26 traveled from Rancho. Worst customer service. Inspect your food before eating. My man order fajitas. Plate looked beautiful until a long hair was in his food. We told the server, she said "not mine". Ask if we still wanted to keep eating from the plate. Once the bill came, the full price of the dish was listed. When I asked the server she said "yes, it was almost gone" . No discount no apology. read more

First time at this restaurant/bar and have mixed feelings. Gave it 4 stars but could be 3 stars depending on your preferences in food. Tacos... Great, generous portions, homemade corn tortillas and flavorful proteins. Lumberjack lunch special was good $ (eggs, bacon, ham, pancakes and hash browns) but flavors were fair. Unfortunately hash browns were cold in the center. Staff nice and attentive. read more

Much left to be desired. Stopped by for lunch with a friend. I sat there for 5 mins before the server even asked if I wanted anything to drink. mind you there was one party of 8 and 3 other parties of 2-3 people. Ordered the lunch special: carnitas place and quesabirria tacos. Both did not have any flavor. Ordered the guacamole and it had way too much lime juice making it watery. Server never came back to ask how the food was or if we needed anything. Ended up having to wave her down for salt and more water. Def will not be going back. read more
