Food was absolutely phenomenal. For $10, I got a MASSIVE fish & shrimp burrito (Baja Burrito) and when I tell you every bite was heaven, i'm not exaggerating at all. The people taking the orders were so kind as well! Ok, now the "negative" stuff. Says it opens at 9:00 but they didn't start taking orders till 9:30 but I didn't really mind tbh because the food was worth the wait. Might've just been that day I went and hopefully it's not a normal occurrence? Other than that, amazing place! read more

Tacos Baja - Baja burrito (fish & shrimp) - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

One of the many excellent restaurants of Whittier Blvd. If you're in the mood for fish tacos, they have a 1.50 taco Wednesday here. Service was good, ordered for pick up. Dining room indoors and some seating outside, parking on sidewalk or in the small lot in the back. I got a Baja burrito which contains fried Fish, shrimp, beans, rice, cabbage, tomato, onions, cilantro, cream & salsa. Good size and very filling, I regretted ordering an additional carne Asada and a pastor taco on the side. Saved for later, the Asada was good and the tortillas are the yellow kind. Ingredients tasted fresh and I would come again when I am in the mood again for some Estillo Ensanada. read more

Honestly an amazing fish taco place that not only had amazing tasting fish tacos but amazingly priced fish tacos. They were also filled to the brim with fish making me think I would be able to eat more than I was able to. The service was very fast and the prepared the food really quickly. There is a really long line during lunch times so plan accordingly if you are coming. I wish it was closer to where I live so I can get it more often. Located near downtown montebello and they have parking spots in the back as well as some residential parking nearby. There are a good amount of tables inside and outside to relax and eat. read more

A group of us went to Tacos Baja because we heard that the food is great, and we were not disappointed! They specialize in seafood, so the ceviche was on the top of everyone's list. They prefer the fish ceviche over the shrimp version. Delicious and worth the trip. Secondly, their fish tacos are awesome. The chicken tacos were not as special. A surprise-- the potato tacos rock!! The texture of the crunchy shell filled with potato is just the perfect bite. It comes with cheese, salsa, and crema on the side. They have mostly covered outdoor seating, we moved some tables together for our large group. You order inside at the counter and they call your number when your food is ready. So happy we tried Tacos Baja, it's a hit! read more

I love stopping here when I'm in the area! Their tacos are full of flavor and everything! Perfect baja-style tacos

Fish tacos and the Baja taco/burritos are fire. We'll make, good sauces, and always hits right.

There is a line for a reason y'all, it's delicious. I got the fish tacos and they were cooked to perfect, really flavorful and fresh. Also you gotta get the pepper- I'm not sure if it bc ones with the meal or not (my friend ordered) but it's so good. We also had a side of ceviche which is good but you might need to ask for more tostadas if you're sharing read more

Tacos Baja - Fish tacos 10/10 and get the lil pepper too - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Happened to be in the area just in time for their Wednesday $1.59 fish taco special and got 3 for just over $5. I went for breakfast at around 9:45 to a budding line (it's taco'clock somewhere) and waited around 10 minutes for my food. Their interior has about 4-5 tables and a counter for ordering and pick up, but if you're looking for seating you might have more luck in their furnished outdoor patio. Service was no frills. The tacos themselves were a delicious start to my morning - well battered, crispy fish about as long as the width of a tortilla with a healthy amount of cabbage, pico de gallo, crema, and salsa. Their salsas definitely run a little hotter than some of the places I've had in the Bay Area, which was a nice touch. No lingering grease or heaviness in my stomach afterwards - must try local gem! read more

What I Ordered: -4 Fish Tacos $1.59 Each on Wednesdays -1 Shrimp Taco $3.59 Tacos Baja is an Ensenada-style eatery. They specialize in tacos in particular fish and shrimp tacos. Each order comes with some red hot sauce and roasted yellow peppers that are dipped in chili powder. They have three locations with one in LA and two in Whittier. Come here early on Wednesday or expect a line to form around lunch time on Wednesdays. The Wednesday Special of Fish Tacos for $1.59 is a really good deal. I initially ordered two fish and one shrimp tacos. I was really hungry and I ordered two more fish tacos. I went a little overboard with my taco consumption, but you can't beat that price. The Fish Taco tasted good. The only downside is that the breading of fish fell apart way too easily. I still think Tacos Baja makes a really good fish taco especially for the price. I would have still pay the regular price of $3.59 for the Fish Tacos as they are that good. The Shrimp Taco was also good. The portion size was good for the price. Tacos Baja makes great fish and shrimp tacos. You won't be disappointed if you come here. I'll be back on another Wednesday in the future for some more delicious Fish Tacos. read more

If you are anywhere near East LA and are hungry, Tacos Baja is a stop for you! I can only vouch for the Baja burrito, but it's a big vouch, I would say stop by and try them. They have off street parking and plenty of places to sit down and enjoy their food. Your order goes in quickly and your food comes out fast. It is definitely old school and that brings quality and good taste. Stop by and enjoy your meal inside or on one of their two dining patios. read more

Great fish tacos and. Ceviche de Camaron. It's my go-to order when I go. Good service. Ambience isn't anything special, it has a casual feel, matches the price point. The restaurant appears clean and maintained. The ambiance here is perfectly serviceable, not a spot for a romantic date, but a perfectly fine place for a quick lunch you know is going to hit the spot. read more

today I went to tacos baja because I was craving some fish tacos. I ordered two fish tacos--they say grilled on the menu but they're actually fried (which is good because that's what I was looking for!!). well they were soo good and flavorful!! there was enough sauce so that you didn't get a dry bite, and the fish were fried to perfection, not too much batter either!! honestly some of the best fish tacos I have ever had!! they have seating inside and outside, and also a clean restroom so you can wash your hands after. read more

Where else will you be able to get a combo of 2 FISH tacos, rice & beans and a DRINK for under $10 bucks?! When we first saw the review we thought it was overhyped with how many reviews they have and rating. Nope. 100% deserve all the reviews they have. Im not saying wow these are the best tacos but they are pretty freaking delicous for the price. Good for them and I hope they stay in business for a long time. Best value ive seen a long time. Its hard to find a good bang for your buck nowadays but this place is definitely it. read more

Tacos Baja - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I feel their fish tacos have gotten skimpy, not as meaty. They double up on tortilla and not really fresh. Perhaps, it was a bad day but in the past I remember they loaded up on the fish. I gave a 2 star because they have been tight wads on their Chile's. They claim it's 1 packet (1jalapeno/yellow pepper) per order. When I asked for one more packet they refused. As if they will lose money by giving 1 more. So I will be going to another place in which they aren't so chinsey. read more

You have to ask for condiments, onions, and salsa if you're eating outside. :) Not sure if there's a condiment bar inside at this time since I ate outside. The ceviche was fresh and the fish tacos were delightfully crispy for the fried fish. The veggies were also fresh and crisp. Ambience is casual and summery. Come in comfy clothes! Service: The lady who took our order was friendly as was the person who announced our food was ready. Parking: Street parking was easy on a Saturday afternoon. read more

Tacos Baja - Fish tacos - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had to try it with all the good reviews. They are a small restaurant located in East LA with a tiny parking lot. They were busy when I arrived. I ordered a fish couple of fish tacos and a ceviche. The tacos came with a piece of fried fish with cabbage and tomatoes. The tacos were good with my wife approving. The ceviche was made with mystery fish. But, it was tasty the way it was prepared. It's a good spot that I may have to try again when I'm in the hood. read more

Pulled up to Tacos Baja on a casual mission and accidentally found my new go-to for barbacoa. I ordered one chicken, one carne asada, and one barbacoa taco--and that barbacoa? Full Beyoncé energy. Tender, seasoned, center stage. She did not come to play. Carne asada was solid--had that grilled char, tasted like a cookout done right. Chicken was the weak link, but not in a tragic way. Just the Michelle of the group. Respectfully. Now the salsa? Whew. That thing had more layers than a Christopher Nolan movie. Smoky, spicy, and built different. I was dragging chips through it like it was guac at a Super Bowl party. Straight disrespectful. No indoor seating, so be ready to dine al fresco whether you like it or not. Luckily, the weather was vibing. Spot was decently clean--not spotless, but clean enough to not side-eye your plate. It's giving... Flavor Town meets Fast & Furious, barbacoa in the driver's seat, and salsa doing donuts in the parking lot. read more

Will they ever serve cahuamanta? They took the trouble of placing it on their menu. Are they satisfied with that: advertising the dish, but stopping short of actually preparing it? This is the real reason I ever came here, for manta ray soup. I come from the torrid terrain of the Inland Empire. Those of you from Los Angeles might think of us as the villains from The Hills Have Eyes. You might be right. I don't come to East Los for fish tacos. The IE regional chain La Bufadora does a top notch baja taco. Taco Nazo in Puente holds it down too. Three visits to Tacos Baja, still no cahuamanta. The churrigueresque movie theater turned CVS pharmacy on Atlantic and Whittier was exciting the first time. The googie motifs to the Tacos Baja building itself were interesting the first time. The charm has faded. Sopa cahuamanta needs to be available. This better happen soon. Please. The tacos are well executed and the place has a generous policy when it comes to handing out condiments. I had an octopus and abalone coctel which was one of the better ones I've ever had. That being said, such good will can be stripped away if the manta ray is not delivered. read more

Not good and don't be fooled by the photos. All of the sauce and toppings are full of nothing but under seasoned and bland ingredients. I was genuine shocked how much flavor and seasoning this lacked based on the photos and reviews. The fish tasted like they battered it and dropped it in the fryer. No salt. No pepper. Nothing. read more

Everyone inside kept saying how good the food was. read more

Tacos Baja - Fish tacos, Taco de Asada and Tostada de ceviche - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A place that feels like the neighborhood spot and that's been around for a long time. They specialize in Ensenada style Mexican Food (like battered fish /shrimp tacos, ceviche, etc) Folks here were super chill and friendly. Very helpful. The prices are very reasonable, and it seems like a place that families can come here for dinner in the middle of the week. I ended up ordering a fish taco, a shrimp taco, and a fish ceviche tostada. The shrimp and fish for the tacos were perfectly fried. Nice crunch. The ceviche tasted fresh and delicious. also, I was pleasantly surprised on my full cost after the order. You definitely get a lot of bang for your buck here. I've had this place bookmark for a while, so I was expecting to like this place, but not as much as I did! I thoroughly enjoyed the food and experience here. Definitely a great neighborhood gem for Ensenada tacos. There's some parking in a tiny lot out back, but there's also a lot of street parking around. read more

The food is good, love the soft shrimp tacos, the batter mix is so flavorful. On Wednesday they have a deal on fish tacos which are also good. They have a good selection of seafood both cold and hot. Their prices are affordable. The service is good and prompt, staff is nice. They have limited parking and a few tables. It's more like outdoor dining. Since it's on the main blvd it's a high trafficked area. I usually order to go. read more

The food there is up to par... after seeing it post from other customers, we went and tried it.. food taste will not disappoint...

Was in the area and stopped by this place for delicious tacos! I got the Taco De Pescado / Taco de Baja - The fish was freshly fried and had lots of flavors, the vegetables were fresh and crunchy, good sized tacos. There are a few seats, or you can order at the outside window, there's a bathroom, and small attached parking lot or street parking. Service was friendly and fast! read more

Fish taco Wednesday $1.69 each! No line when I went and parking lot was not full. Street parking available. Service was really good. Tacos came out in like 5min and staff were also in providing sauces and bagged onions and peppers. Plenty of seating outside and some inside. Overall fish tacos were a solid 9/10! Fish had chunky white meat and batter was not dominant but also it wasn't as crispy as I wanted. It wasn't soggy either but just wasn't crispy even though I ate there fresh. The veggies were fresh and so were the red sauce and cream. Flavors mixed really well! read more

A must go to, I usually get the Baja burrito with is a burrito for the gods. I once went twice in a row!

Saw a YouTube video on this place recommending it. We were in town for 4 days and 3 nights with making this place a must eat. It is a small place with two outside seating areas and one inside. The staff was super friendly to us when we went it. Not sure what to expect, we ordered 4 fish and 4 shrimp tacos. We got them to go. We had just flew in from Ohio and were starving. We got to the car and unboxed the tacos. They looked awesome, although no limes they gave us lemons. When I say we SMASHED. I mean we SMASHED. We do not have anything like this back in Cincinnati. The tacos were fresh, with hot delicious corn tortillas with them piled high with cabbage, tomatoes and onion. With a spicy sauce and a cream. The fish and shrimp was so fresh and made to order, We went back two more times and risked missing our flight to get them before leaving town. 10/10. Perfect read more

They changed the tortilla. They are serving the tacos with flour tortilla instead of corn tortilla, totally changed the whole taco. They need to stop changing the recipe and go back to the original.
