    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!

    Went on a Wednesday for their Fish Taco Wednesday special. There was a bit of a wait, but it was totally worth it. The fish tacos tasted fresh and flavorful, definitely hit the spot. The staff was friendly, which made the experience even better. The store was also clean and well-kept. A big plus for this location is the parking--there's plenty of it, unlike their other spot where it can be a bit of a challenge. If you're craving fish tacos, this is a solid choice!

    The menu.

    Great tacos!! Tacos are half price on Wednesday, so come on by. You will Not be disappointed!

    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!

    So I remember when I was a kid this was Norths, Johns Place and then jays grill. Then I'm going down Whittier Blvd and noticed it now was Baja Grill which I remember when they opened up at their older location down the way. First off let me get this out of the way..yes they do have amazing fish tacos, really good fish tacos. However, I decided to mix it up a bit, and get their Fish burrito. My friends, I was not disappointed in anyway, the flavor was there and the fish to beans ratio was perfect. I'm always worried that if I get a burrito I'm going to get nothing but beans. Not this day my friends it was perfect. The staff was quick and professional and the place was busy with hungry customers. The awesome part was looking at how much they transformed the inside of the restaurant. Growing up as a kid I remember it being old and not very well kept up. But they did what no other own ever took the time to do, they revamped it and made it look great inside. Wishing them the absolute best in their future business endeavors. I will be back for an awesome fish burrito.

    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!

    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

They were fresh, crunchy, with ample green tomatillo salsa that was flavorful, making for a very authentic bite. The beans were very good and complemented the chilaquiles perfectly. Authentic Mexican flavors showcased well. Service: The waitress was friendly, attentive, and joyfully answered my questions about the menu. I also asked about the traditional colorful head piece located behind glass next to the register and learned that it is a Chinelo, a traditional iconic carnival character from Morelos, Mexico.

(See attached picture). This restaurant is in such an obscure location, I can't believe I was going to a Burrito Track across the street for so many years not knowing this place existed. Friendly staff and prompt service. The unfortunate negative is it's location and I'm referring to parking. There must be 8 business crammed into this lot. With a bar to the right and a laudermat on its left finding a parking spot is like winning the lotto. Now layer in one driveway and you have to make a 3 point turn just to navigate to leave. The short answer is I will absolutely go back to this place as long as there is a parking space to be had.

The staff was very friendly and welcomed us in. The asada taco was spot on delicious. All the flavors and the hot sauce worked really well together. The meat was beefy and marinated well. This taco came with a flour tortilla. The al pastor taco was delicious as well. The sweetness hit and the flavor blended well. This taco came with a corn tortilla. The spicy steak picadillo did not hit like the above tacos. Don't get me wrong, it was not bad, it was flavorful, but the above were better options. The asada fries was also delicious. The fries were regular sized fries, not thick or crinkled. The flavors blended well. The cheese was white and it appeared to be Monterey jack, not the conventional ball park yellow cheese sauce or shredded cheese. The cheese was melted, and it worked. This fries is perfect if you are fighting a hangover or drunk. The ingredients used was fresh and overall, I view these tacos as a premium taco. Larger than a street taco and does the job. My overall experience was exceptionally positive and I will be back. By the napkins, there's a red and green sauce in a bottle with plastic containers. The red or orange sauce had the right amount of heat. The green sauce was like any other green sauce. The red sauce does separate this place from other places. One thing I would wish they were to add is an optional side purchase of radishes, pickled onions/carrots, and cucumbers. If this place wanted to be fancy, they could also add toreados. If the price is right, I'll buy it. However, I do understand the each restaurant is struggling to minimize costs and overhead, but this would be something I would purchase.

I asked if the carne asada could be cooked extra crispy, something a previous employee did for me without hesitation, and she immediately gave me pushback. She made it seem like a "take it or leave it" situation, claiming the meat wouldn't look good if put back on the grill, rather than just accommodating a basic customer request. When I clarified what I wanted, she simply stared at me and tossed the meat onto the grill with a terrible attitude, no "sure thing" or acknowledgment, and certainly no apology. Then, when I asked to have my carnitas crispier, she threw them on the grill, but once they were done, she mixed them back in with the rest of the meat on the line instead of using the extra-cooked batch to make my tacos. It completely defeated the purpose of the request and felt genuinely spiteful. As someone with a background in customer service, I know how important attitude and professionalism are. The food is great, but management really needs to hire staff who actually care about treating customers well.
