A visit to Baja Taqueria is always a high point of any day for me. I’ve tried a number of items on the menu but my favorites are the fish taco and the bean and cheese burrito. I also cherish a stop to the salsa bar to pick up the spicy goodness of a little heat to fire up my entree. There are several areas to eat on site - by the street-view window or at one of several tables inside or outdoors. I have encountered smiles and wonderful service from the staff. Overall whether I eat in or take out my tummy is happier because I stopped here.

Very clean, friendly service. They will bring your food to you if you choose to sit outside. They will modify the menu options upon request for people that are vegan or gluten free. Quick service and lovely atmosphere.

Ordered Two taco combo plate. Fish taco was really well cooked. Chicken was fine, but not as good as the fish. The bluegrass show made the atmosphere excellent and was a lot of fun.

I live in NYC, was visiting family in California. I heard about this place went and got a bunch borritos for take out for family. Tacos are huge, and made fresh as you wait. I'm not a fish eater but family loved the fish. I had a vegetable one and loved it. Went back the next morning and got another for my flight home. Out door seating in rear. Plenty of tables, place is huge and great staff. Owner is really nice. Place is spotless, including restrooms. Plenty of room for wheel chairs and street level entrance.
