The decor is vibrant, the music adds to the energy, and the overall vibe is welcoming and enjoyable. The standout for me was the chicken burrito special--it was huge and packed with flavorful ingredients. You definitely get your money's worth! The fresh guacamole was another highlight. It tasted freshly made, with just the right balance of avocado, lime, and seasoning. The food was delicious overall, but the pickup service was a little slower than expected during my visit when it was crowded, which is why I'm giving it four stars instead of five. Even so, I'd happily come back for the giant burritos and fresh guac. If you're craving satisfying Mexican food in a fun setting, this place is definitely worth checking out.

Decor is nice and this restaurant is clean and well cared for.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the experience we had this time around. The tacos were pretty soggy and lacked the texture that apparently made them stand out before. She even joked that they must've had a different cook working that day. The food wasn't bad, but it also didn't live up to the expectations that were set. The consommé was decent and the portions were generous, but overall the flavor was just average. If I were rating this visit alone, it would probably be closer to a 3/5. That said, I'm giving it a 4/5 because my girlfriend has had a much better experience here before and swears it's usually better than what we received. The other factor is the price. For a restaurant where you order at the counter, grab your number, and seat yourself, it feels a bit expensive for what you get. I'd be willing to give it another shot since it sounds like consistency may be the issue, but based on this visit, it didn't quite live up to the hype.

The portions were ok, and the margarita was large and refreshing and good actually, but I had to ask for it 3x, but the food itself was only okay. Nothing we ordered stood out enough to make us want to return. We sat down and it wasn't busy. 15 min later they came and took our order. The hostess that came to us first was attentive he was really the only one. The biggest disappointment was the customer service. Throughout our entire visit, there was very little attention from all staff. We rarely saw our server, drinks went unrefilled longer than they should have, and there was no effort to check in and see how our meal was. I never once was asked if I would like another margarita. Hospitality can make a huge difference, and unfortunately it was lacking here. This is huge for me in a sit down. The restaurant has a fun sports-bar atmosphere with plenty of TVs, but the restroom also needed attention and wasn't as clean as expected. Overall, not a terrible experience, but not one I'd go out of my way to repeat at all. There are too many great Mexican restaurants in the area for this one to make it back onto my regular rotation. Probably won't be returning at all.

I cannot express my displeasure for this place! I went to the senior baja's on foothill blvd for lunch today, got a shrimp burrito(not the meal!) for 7.99 and fish and chips(3.99) for my son. grilled shrimp taco(2.49) and grilled mahi mahi burrito(6.99). we got them in the drive through, so i didnt see what i actually got for my money. BIG MISTAKE!! Upon getting home and opening our packages, i discoverd that "fish and chips" actually means two very greasy fish sticks and a handful of tortilla chips, and "grilled shrimp burrito" actually contained mostly rice and sauce, shrimp were fried, not grilled. The mahi mahi tasted like fish that had started to go bad, and the shrimp taco was tiny, had almost nothing in it, and what was in it tasted awful according to my 12 year old son, who will eat just about anything! Quite frankly, I'm a little concerned about food poisoning at this point! I will never vist this "restaurant" again, and i would advise anyone who is considering going there to rethink it! Don't waste your money, go to Del Taco, it's light years ahead of this place. read more

I like their fish taco. They always get busy during lunch hour, especially on fish taco promo day(Wednesday). I don't like to eat there because of the crowded space. The food taste better without the crowd. Their condiment is fresh most of the time. Occasionally, when they get too busy, the condiments were not replenished. Overall it is a good place to grab something quick without too much grease. read more
