The 2 best things you can order here are the burritos or a salad . Salads are HUGE and best when shared with a loved one! All the meat is GOOD, but my top choice would be the pork , HANDS DOWN. Enjoy!

Brian Tran

Food is great here. The tortillas are freshly made in front of you and are the best part. Taco Tuesday is always a good to come for!

Alex Ambrosi

Bowls, you say? Yeah, we tried them instead of tacos and let's just say they were very generous with the portions!

The salads & cilantro dressing are amazing. Don't appreciate how quick the servers are to assume that you want "everything" included tho. And they seem unhappy and grumpy. What happened to good c/s!

June Suwanagorn

I'd say its a cross between Chipotle because they prepare your food in front of you and Fat Burger because they yell your order out :) They have green chili and tres leches cake . Yum!

People race about the barbacoa but it's a little sweet for me. Have the carne asada instead.

The salmon tacos are amazing! But the rice and beans are just meh. As a whole, Baja Fish Tacos is way better.

The only thing that sets this place apart from Chipotle is the decor. Which isn't saying much.
