Baja Fresh San Jose Reviews
We always go for our favorite Veggie Toastada. We also tried vegetarian burrito. They always taste fresh and amazing. Their salsa is always mouthful.
Excellent food, just really good food 👍👍👍congrats to the kitchen people

EVERYTHING on site is ultra fresh. There is a wide selection of entrees and meals. They maintain a fresh salsa bar, all you can eat style. All of the portions are fit for a king (a hungry king! One meal could be enough for my wire and I, but everything taste so good that I don't want to share! 😁 The staff is very professional and not pushy. Pricing is mid-range, with 2 meals (for 2 people) is around $20. Five star rating.
I LOVE this place! By far the best fast food Mexican around- it kills Taco Bell. Everything is super fresh and just delicious. The prices may seem a bit higher, but one burrito will feed two people. The serving sizes are large and the ingredients are super fresh.
For fast food, this place is awesome. The food is fresh and incredibly hot when you get it, and they make that part of their promise to their clients. Also, this particular location had people staffing it that were very friendly & pleasant, which is always a plus as far as I'm concerned. I had the rojo enchiladas, and they were delicious, not too heavy, and (with the black beans and rice) very filling. I particularly love churros, and these were exceptional - very, very hot, generously dusted with cinnamon sugar, and light and crispy on the inside - my favorite! The full meals are enormous, so I always have some leftovers to take home and nibble afterwards!
Ordered seafood taco and Chicken Caesar Burrito. It tasted good. Also their staff were super friendly. Gave us four mango salsa. Will be back again!
The wahoo burrito is awesome.
I got a burrito with chicken and it was huge! A lot of places pack burritos with toppings and a little bit of protein but they were extremely generous with the chicken, while keeping a balance with the other fillings. It was delicious and came with some tortilla chips and sauces from the salsa bar. We sat outside and enjoyed the nice day. Very fair price. Will definitely be coming back.

Ordered pick up and overall was pretty good. Their carnitas tacos were excellent, fresh and hot. The burrito however was a bit soggy due to the Pico de gallo but still was ok. Maybe remove it if your not ordering in person.

Had the fish tacos. They were fine. The salsa bar only had dregs of popular flavors.
We had the Diablo Burrito and Seafood Tacos. The picture on the ordering site is misleading. You think you are getting 3 tacos but you actually get only one. The ordering can definitely be more clear. Taste wise though they were spot on. Both items were delicious!

Refused to reload salsa bar even they had supplies in the back. Was cleaning up before 8:00 even though they closed at 11:00. This place used to be great but not anymore
Very expensive, but can be good. It's usually a ghost town when I see it. When the food doesn't hit right for this kind of price it will surely fill you with regret.

I really dislike leaving negative reviews, but I disliked my experiences with this place even more. A couple months ago, I ordered takeout and picked up directly from the restaurant. They didn’t include the sauces for either entree we ordered. This week, there was a deal on DoorDash so I decided to give them another shot. We specifically selected 3 salsas to go, and again, none of them made it into the order. It is frustrating when you’re paying $20+ per entree (this place is more expensive than any other similar spot nearby) and you can’t even get what you asked for. As an aside, my husband’s burrito was dripping liquid while eating it. He later realized the last 1/4 of the burrito was purely tomatoes, which is what was seeping liquid. The last 1/4 was basically inedible. The extra star is solely because this location’s hours are very accommodating for late nights at work, and the tostada salad was overall pleasant, albeit some chewy pieces of steak. Overall, we decided we won’t be ordering here again. Far too expensive to not be receiving your full order / the quality.

Love Baja Fresh, their burritos are really tasty, however,for this location I have not had a good experience everytime I go there. Layout is a bit off and the place is small. Their personnel always seems to be dealing with some personal drama when you walk in and they keep talking about it while taking your order and while they have patrons eating. These things should be discuss on their breaks as some of us can understand what they are saying, including the cursing. And don't get me started in the flirtting among some of them, it will seem like either they have no manager or the manager has no authority or the manager allows this to happen. Overall I always get a very unprofessional, in-the-brink of a lawsuit vibe from their employees.
We ordered a chicken burrito and a fish fajita. The fish wasn’t fresh and tasted too salty. The burrito was fine.
The steak tostada has gotten smaller and smaller over the years. The tostada shell is half the size than what it used to be and it was stale. The employees seem like they were forced to be there and lacks customer skill. At least say "Hi or what would you like?", not a single word. Not even to tell me my total but point to the display. No wonder they are slowly going out of business. Hmm.

I ordered a vegetarian burrito and i found a piece of beef in it. There are several vegetarians or people with dietary restrictions eating here and I’m sorry they’re not maintaining separation in the kitchen. I reported it to the staff. We used to be a regular at baja but have to be extremely careful now.
They close before scheduled time 30 minutes before advertising. Sign was still lit up saying open but they said they closed everything down. If you want to close earlier change your hours opened then. Wasted my gas. Food very over priced when looking at pricing. Maybe it’s good I didn’t spend money here
Super boring burritos. A lot of ingredients listed on the menu, but only came with rice and beans. No flavor, dry, and not much meat. It just tasted like a rice and bean burrito. I don’t understand the good reviews. Maybe people just want dry burritos with no taste?
