    Fish taco and chili
    Janice C.

    First time coming to their new location. This place has more room and better parking. The inside is well kept and the staff is friendly and efficient with the amount of customers coming and going. They have a TV which was playing a sporting game. We had the shrimp and fish tacos which had generous portions. I love the chilies that are here. This place is great to grab and go or sit and enjoy a beverage and great food! This is a must try!

    Yep!

    Another grand opening in Whittier I attended today! Live Mariachi & $1 fish tacos till 4pm I ordered 6 fish tacos to go /sour cream on the side please! I get home & only 2 sour creams for 6 fish tacos ‍ Overall food is tasty! Service is kind! Give them a try if you haven't yet!

    Service was super quick and easy going. Prices are very reasonable and the quality of the fish tacos are superb. But if you visited Tacos Baja before well you already knew that. The tortillas used are full of flavor. This is their new location just down the street. Place has been upgraded and is comfortable but some of the fixtures are fixes and not newly replaced. Seems like they haven't quite dialed in the operations yet. Overall a very good experience.

    Tacos Baja has been a staple in my household. Great quality and delicious flavor! Always a quick to-go for lunch or dinner. I usually get the fish tacos, I tried the shrimp taco today, I love their breading! Highly recommend and love their new location!!!

    I enjoyed this spot for a quick grab and go. The staff was friendly and my order of three tacos came up very fast. The tacos were a little too drenched in oil for my liking but overall the food was good and I would visit again in a pinch where I need a quick grab and go meal.

    Menu as of 6/6/25

    The food here is amazing. Great service & friendly staff. The seating area is so clean & spacious. I'll definitely be visiting here again! The Coctel de Camaron is perfectly seasoned, no need to add lime, & the shrimp are a decent size. The fish, shrimp, & carne asada tacos are Baja style with lots of toppings. The red salsa is so flavorful! The tacos are pretty big & filling! These are not your ordinary two-bite taquero tacos. & don't forget the Chiles Güeros sprinkled with chili powder, so good! I had the #4 Combo which includes a Small Coctel de Camarón, 1 Tostada de Ceviche (I chose Jaiba), & a drink for $10.99. Great deal if you're looking to try a little bit of everything. They offer self serve water cups with cucumber & lemon slices, which is nice while you wait for your order. The parking lot is large & much more spacious than the location on Painter Ave. Great location & food overall. Definitely a new favorite in the area!

    Heading to another fish taco place when we tripped across this place. Lucky us! Service is quick. Service is with a smile, polite. Prices are on point . Place was clean. Jayden was our first point of contact, answered our questions, made suggestions, great attitude! Had the fish tacos, plate. Came with rice and beans, and a drink! Also had the fish ceviche. Tacos were really good, the ceviche was really good. But the rice and beans were Devine!!! Overall, great experience. Glad we went to Tacos Baja!!! Good stuff!

    PSA: Tacos Baja @tacosbaja__ remain the best fish tacos in LA County. This place would be worth the drive, even from Phoenix. Must try!!! Our old favorite taco haunt, when we lived down the street, that continues to sustain us when visiting Whittier, CA. The food is a five star but the place could use some housekeeping. I ordered: -Fish Taco Plate -Piña

    Ask the Community - Tacos Baja

    What's the difference between taco de pescado and taco de Baja?

    Hello, i’m glad you asked this question. it’s actually a very common question asked. The difference is the fish taco is just fish with a corn tortilla and the baja taco is fish and shrimp with a bigger flour tortilla than the corn.

    Does anyone know what happened to their Lakewood-Downey location?

    I went there in Dec 2019 and they had a note on the building saying they were closing that location and opening a new location also in Downey. That's the last I heard.

    Is the $.99 fish taco deal on Wednesday all day long?

    Yes it is! Go get some tacos!

    Do they have an updated phone number?

    I think they went out of business as I drove by two days ago and it was dark at 6:30pm. I've called for two days now and the number is disconnected

    Are they still open with the coronavirus restrictions on businesses? I called the number for this restaurant and it's not going thru.

    They are open

    Do they have fries or nachos?

    They have fries! And they're delicious

    Can you order fish tacos without batter for people with gluten allergy?

    Idk.

    What type of fish do they use for their fish tacos?

    I think is Talapia

    Can you get the 99 cent fish tacos to go?

    Yes ;)

    Do they clean their shrimp?

    Yes

This place instantly became one of my favorites after just one visit. From the moment you walk in, the whole vibe hits you--the moody, neon-lit ambiance sets the tone perfectly. It feels elevated, a little edgy, and honestly just the kind of spot you want to spend your night at. The music is curated so well. Not too loud, not too mellow--just the right balance where you can vibe, have a conversation, and still feel the energy of the room. You can tell they actually care about the experience, not just throwing a playlist together. Now let's talk about the drinks... because that's really where they shine. Every cocktail feels intentional and crafted with care. You can taste the quality immediately--nothing watered down, nothing basic. They have a really cool mix of classic cocktails and modern twists, and even the familiar drinks feel elevated. It's the kind of place where you want to try something new every round because you trust the bartenders know exactly what they're doing. Service was on point too. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain drinks and made great recommendations, which made the whole experience even better. I came in not knowing what to expect, and left already planning my next visit. If you're in Uptown Whittier and looking for a spot with great energy, amazing cocktails, and a full vibe--The Vandalist is it. Thank me later

There was live music, which was a really nice surprise! A pianist and a singer. We shared flash fried peppers and warmed mixed nuts. The peppers needed a little more salt, and I was able to get more salt fairly quickly from the staff. They had a decent selection of wine, and the vodka martini I had was nice. I think it's a lovely place to stop by for pre-dinner drinks (i think they had a full menu of heavier foods, not just appetizers if you're wanting something more filling), or after dinner drinks. It's also right by the movie theater, so probably nice for that as well I probably don't need to list all the occasions a drink could be had, hahaha.

We were…read moredoing a bon voyage dinner for my nephew as he ventures off to his master's program out of state, and we were able to make last minute reservations. I got excited as we walked in because of how cool the vibe was inside the restaurant! Modern and clean aesthetic ... such a surprise! I had already looked at the menu the night before, so I made some suggestions for our party of four adults and kiddo. Our server brought fresh sourdough rolls with seasoned butter. Solid start. We then ordered the stuffed 'shrooms and proscuitto-arugula pizza as starters. Both were very excellent, and was tell-tale of what we were about to experience with our entrees. Entrees ordered were the rigatoni with vodka sauce, the pappardelle with shortrib (two servings but really enough food for at least four ppl!) and the chicken Parmesan salad. Everything was impressive, especially the pappardelle dish. With the beurre blanc and creamy Alfredo sauce with two huge pieces of short rib that were fork tender, it was the star of the evening. This dish is made table-side to ensure that it's eaten immediately. The portions were enough for four ppl, and the sauce is just absolutely decadent. Service was attentive and prompt. Our server was lovely! She shared her favorites with us, and we followed suit by ordering her favorite desserts too! The bread pudding was amazing, but the carrot cake, being a new recipe, was just a bit too sweet for our palates. Plenty of parking as it is onsite. Loved that!

We didn't get her name but she had glasses and septum nose piercing. She was more accommodating at then end but we were very off put at the beginning and it left a bad taste in our mouths. Our server at our table was the complete opposite. Very attentive and made the group less angry with our initial treatment. Wish I got her name to share. The desert and cocktails were nice but due to the service it did not make up for the overall experience. Desert: Tiramisu 4/5 - great flavor, ratio of cream was too much compared to cake portion Canolli 4/5 - duo flavors were nice and had a good shell with crunch Crème brûlée 2/5 - pistachio flavor was light and it's was almost too warm and liquidy. Cocktails overall some major hits and other misses. Sgroppino 5/5 - strong but with a great flavor profile Dragon fruit cocktail 2/5 - too light tasting, not much flavor or alcohol? Gave more juice Peach Bellini 4.5/5 - table side pour is nice touch and rest of bottle was nice. Syrup has a sourness but mixed in with Bellini and gelato and tasted just right. Melontini - 2.5/5 light, somewhat good flavor but nothing memorable. Ambience seems nice but it can be loud inside with open floor plan.
