Baja Fresh Express Anaheim Reviews
Super tasty food and beautifully presented! 😍I don’t know why many people didn’t get a good experience. Ours was fantastic! Everything we ordered was delicious and all the ingredients used were fresh and of great quality. We will definitely go back when we visit the area again 😋
The food came by really fast It’s fresh as advertised and very tasty Doesn’t give you that feeling of fast food it’s quite healthy
This is the second time I eat at this restaurant, the service and food were fantastic!! The quality and amount of food are very good.
Très très bon repas. Cuisine et légumes fraîches. Je recommande vraiment. Un service au top option veggie.
As saladas são muito boas, e também gostei dos nachos
Produits frais et goûteux. Jamais déçue par Baja Fresh.
Sabores intensos, naturais, refeição bastante satisfatória, parabéns
Preços baratos e comida boa
Absolument fantastique. Un rapport qualité-prix excellent, les quantités étaient très généreuses, les plats sont très bons, le personnel était chaleureux. Si vous aimez les repas mexicains, foncez !
Die Baja Bowl hat sehr gut geschmeckt. Der Reis war gut gewürzt. Sehr zufrieden
AMAZING! Fresh, big portion, fast. Been here 5 times and I’m always super pleased.
Very good Mexican food served at this restaurant. Recommended.
This place is great, it's all fresh made ala minute. I've been here more than 20 times in the last 10 months, most of the time I even drive the 25 minutes to get here so I can eat at this place. The food is inexpensive the service is friendly and always greet you with a smile, the products are fresh the sauces taste absolutely great I can only recommend it. I am a chef, have worked in over 40 kitchens among the nine countries that I have lived in. So I know what I'm talking about this place is awesome enjoy. Chef Huckleberry
I dined in there twice during my visit to Algarve. Portions were generous and food was tasty on both occasions. Would not hesitate to order from them again should I happen to be there.
Absolutely delicious!!! Super fresh, great seasoning, good portion, fair prices… don’t know if they had problems in the beginning but there’s nothing to complain.
Me gustó mucho. Comparado con cadenas mexicanas, mucho mejor. El sabor de la carne muy del estilo portugués, al carbón. Por lo demás, bien. Buen precio, servicio simpático pero algo lentos
Muy bueno todo.
Vriendelijk geholpen. Portie groot genoeg en smakelijk. Blijft fast-food, maar hier prima prijs kwaliteit.
Essen war lecker, Personal hilfsbereit.
Niet duur, prima eten. Grote porties, waarde voor je geld
The brand was recommended by some American friends and I must say they were right…👍👍 the service was polite and quick and the food was great. I would definitely eat here again, and I will try the branch at Algarve Shopping…
El ambiente espectacular, Por eso le doy 5 estrellas. En cuanto la comida le falta más sabor mexicano por eso 4 estrellas no está mal la comida Pero pueden mejorar , el serviço está bien
Went in with pretty low expectations because of the reviews, but it actually turned out okay. The atmosphere was nice, and I loved the little open ”buffet” with spicy sauces, pico de gallo, and coriander (so you haters don’t have to hate). The menu could be clearer though - I ordered a shrimp salad and got a surprise sprinkle of cheese, which I don’t eat. Managed to eat around it, and honestly, it wasn’t too bad in the end. Sallad was not really worth the full price, but my friend’s cheaper American burrito was a hit, and I wasn’t suffering drinking the margarita 😋
Somewhat large portions. Diavolo was average spicy. Quite short waiting time.
I had the Baja taco with chicken. There was very little filling in the taco. The tables were not clean and we had to ask for a wipe down.
Good food but it takes way to long
Já por duas vezes que como aqui, ou seja, duas oportunidades de me surpreender, mas não conseguiram. Da primeira o burrito estava tao picante que nem consegui comer, os nachos de pacote e secos, o suposto sour cream é uma colher de sopa de iogurte grego e uma outra de guacamole. Na segunda vez, queijadilha de beef e nachos novamente, tudo sem sabor, insípido e seco. E caro para um franshising de centro comercial. Vá lá pessoal, a comida mexicana tem sabor, tem vida, tem alma. Nota 5 para o staff que na maioria é simpático e prestável.
Preços normais para o tipo de refeição. Comida feita à pressa sem qualidade. Burritos muito mal compostos, desfazem-se logo apos agarrar. Local limpo.
Waiting time was over 45 minutes, due to a mistake. Food taste was oké, however a part of my guacamole was still frozen. Employees were very friendly even tough it was very busy.
I ordered a vegetable base burrito (on the menus it specifies vegetables, no rice), but it was mainly rice and beans with traces of veggies, mainly onions. Unfortunately, it was a takeaway so couldn’t go back, but certainly won’t ordered from here again.
Poor service. Meat wasn't well done at all. They forgot we ordered extra tortillas and we already paid for it (3 tortillas for the fajitas plate it's not enough) We didn't complain at the moment cause after waiting more than 30 minutes for this, we got two tickets for the cinema and we were getting late. Pretty disappointed.
Calidad mejorable y precio alto
Cada vez menos qualidade e opções de molhos, no incio havia jalapenos e uns 5 molhos diferentes, ja não tem jalapenos e tem apenas 2 ou 3 molhos a escolha
Food was ok but nothing amazing, had to wait over 30min for it aswell. Can't recommend
J’ai choisi un burritos, il manquait de goût et la viande était presque introuvable. Le burritos veggie devait comporter plus de protéines 😩
Péssimo. Desde comida reaquecida, wraps frios... E o pior é saberem o que estavam a servir comida com péssima qualidade. De longe a pior experiência.
Todo recalentado. Carme durísima, gusto de la comida muy lejos al sabor de la Mexicana. Personal parecía perdido ... No lo recomiendo.
Mudaram o tamanho do burrito dos manos?? Fui servida uma porção extremamente pequena!
Comida podre.
Horrível e caro
Waited 50 minutes for my food before I gave up.
Horrible
Carne de vaca da Fajita estava igual a borracha não se conseguia mastigar
NÃO VALE A PENA GASTAR SEU DINHEIRO MAIS NESSE ESTABELECIMENTO. ANTIGAMENTE ATÉ VALERIA APENA , MAS MUDOU MUITO. A COMIDA ESTÁ HORRÍVEL E DE PESSIMA QUALIDADE, FORA O ATENDIMENTO. PARECE QUE FAZEM DE QUALQUER JEITO. SEMPRE LEVEI MIMHA FAMÍLIA E TAMBÉM FUI SOZINHO OUTRAS VEZES COMER E DEIXAVA BEM DINHEIRO NOS PEDIDOS, AHORA NÃO VALE 1€ . PEDI UM PRA DE BURRITOS COM ENCHILADOS E VEIO MUITO POUCO E OS NACHOS TODOS QUEIMADOS ARROZ PARECIA DE 3 DIAS ATRÁS E A CARNE CHEIA DE NERVO E GORDURA. PAGUEI 13,49€ INFELIZMENTE NÃO COMSIGO COLOCAR A FOTO AQUI . É MELHOR FECHAR ESSE ESTABELECIMENTO E COLOCAR UM RESTAURANTE DE JEITO DE UMA EMPRESA QUE REALMENTE QUEIRA PRESTAR UM SERVIÇO DE JEITO .
Comida horrível, pedimos um prato e o prato foi completamente diferente, quando fomos pedir comida livro de reclamação o gerente não conseguiu explicar porque doeram nos outro prato . Não pediram desculpa! Não gostei ! Não recomendo!
Cheguei ao restaurante pelas 22h30, o shopping fecha às 23h, quando vou pedir, um dos empregados diz me que já estão fechados e não servem comida após as 22h30 porque têm de limpar e querem sair às 23h...já trabalhei em shoppings e desde sempre as limpezas eram feitas depois do fecho, alem do mais não existe em lado nenhum nada que diga que já não servem a partir de certas horas. Se o homem tivesse falado com modos e pedido compreensão talvez fosse diferente, mas a arrogância e a pouca vontade de trabalhar demonstrada levam-me a fazer esta crítica.
Hatte einen Burrito XXL, der geschmacklich einfach nicht gut war. Zu wenig Salz, Pfeffer, Chili, das Fladenbrot gummihaft, der Überbackene Käse ebenfalls, die Chilisoße ranzig und einfach nur scharf, die wenigen Tacos auf dem Teller ebenfalls alt und durchweicht. Das Personal an der Kasse hoffnungslos überfordert, musste alles nochmal hinterfragen, da sie nichts verstanden hat, auch die portugisichensprechenden Gäste nicht.
Habe mir zwei vegetarische taccos bestellt. Diese waren mit jeweils einem kleinen Stück Paprika, zwei Streifen undefinierbarem Gemüse, einigen eingelegten roten Zwiebeln, ein paar Blätter Koriander und 2(!) Esslöffeln roher weißer Zwiebeln belegt. Absolut keine Empfehlungen. Nachdem ich die rohen Zwiebeln auf ein erträgliches Maß reduziert habe, blieb ein geschmackloser, fader tacco übrig.
Fiz um pedido esperei 10 minutos e veio um marroquina falando inglês a dizer que não tinha comida, quando olho lá para dentro estava já a cozinha limpa isto ainda nem era 22h veio uma rapariga ao balcão ter comigo e fez a devolução do dinheiro sem me ter dito rigorosamente nada eu peguei em mim e fui ao McDonald's quando olhei para trás estavam os dois a rir isto foi no dia 01-03-2023 ao jantar
Não permitem escolher que a carne de vaca seja mal passada, simplesmente porque se trata de comida aquecida. Para um restaurante que tem « fresh » no nome, é no mínimo ridículo…
Haben uns gerade Fajitas mit Beef bestellt, und das Fleisch is so zeh wie Schuh Leder !!!! Schade das man kein Deluxe Fleisch bei Fast Food ist klar aber man darf auch nicht so eine schlechte Fleisch Qualität an den Mann bringen 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Péssimo! Um burrito sem sabor, comida reaquecida, carne queimada... Muito mau e caro para aquilo que apresentam! Não aconselho a ninguém
Comida muito pobrezinha, de fraca qualidade, feita à pressa e sem brio nenhum. Horrível. Os 12 € mais mal gastos de sempre (preço para duas pessoas).
1 ESTRELA PORQUE NÃO POSSO DAR MENOS. VERGONHOSO VERGONHOSO VERGONHOSO 30 MINUTOS Á ESPERA DE UM PRATO DE NACHOS SEM FEIJÃO PARA AO FIM DE DESSE TEMPO DIZEREM QUE TINHA DADO UM ERRO NO SISTEMA COM O PEDIDO. AINDA FICARAM AMUADOS DE LHES PEDIR O DINHEIRO DE VOLTA. ARREPENDIDO DE NÃO TER ESCRITO NO LIVRO DE RECLAMAÇÕES
I got sick after eating here, i threw up all night, it was not fresh at all. I do not recommend eating there.
I ate beef nachos here on Sunday and have been in bed and out of work with food poisoning for the last 3 days. Please avoid at all costs!
Waited 1 hour for a quesadilla which was disgusting and I could not finish it. The restaurant was not even busy. So disappointing.
Staff doesn't understand the difference between chicken and beef. We received 2 chicken burritos when we only ordered one. Or they can't read the order correctly. I also ordered for takeaway and had to remind them. Save your money and peace of mind and go elsewhere. You won't get what your ordered....
Poor quality food. Not fresh. The “chicken bowl” is mostly rice and beans and a bunch of onions. The chicken is very scarce on your plate so it’s a big plate of rice and beans for almost €9. Not worth it at all!
I ate here on their opening day and returned regularly. I’m not going back again. My last 3 meals have been very poor quality. The extra sauces have reduced to poor choice, charged for margueritas but never served. Undercooked nachos, covered in watery beans with a teaspoon of guacamole was the final straw. Used to be great, now it’s a waste of money with grumpy staff who aren’t interested.
The concept is really good! I ate here maybe 30times already, cause I love Mexican food and comparing with the other options on the shopping it is the one that I more like. Unfortunately on this baja, you don't have a standard line on the plates, it is rare to get the same always different. I talked to the onwer once she agreed. But yesterday again bad quality! So I'm writing here to help Baja make the service better.
Anything but fresh. Soft Tacos were hard, meat was dry despite being drowned in an overpowering hot sauce and served with a mix of lettuce and cabbage. My friend's fajita dish was equally disappointing, dry, reheated meat, rice and beans, and tasteless guacamole. It was awful experience and not to be repeated.
I got food poisening from eating here. Stay away
They never have fish it as been like every 2 weeks that I go there and they never have it so please take it of if you don't thank you and they took out the refill drinks for the same price you have 330ml and they are not nice so don't go
Lo peor, de mexicano no tiene nada. Pedí 2 burritos y a pesar que los pedí con carne pero sin cebolla ni frejoles, al parecer también se olvidaron la carne literal jaja. Los tacos no era lo mejor tampoco. No lo recomiendo para nada este lugar.
Todo recalentado. Carme durísima, gusto de la comida muy lejos al sabor de la Mexicana. Personal parecía perdido ... No lo recomiendo.
