We love this place! We go, mostly for lunch, at least once a week. The staff is fabulous, Fabi, Zelina, Ricardo, George, Anna, and the rest of the staff are so friendly and welcoming.
*I edited my original post. I realized that it sounded more critical than I intended.*
I just feel the need to review the changes in the food and beverages in the last few months. We are disappointed in some of the changes. When we first started going to Baja Joe’s, over 10 years ago, I was told that the fish tacos were made with sea bass, now they are tilapia. I noticed a change in appearance a month or so ago but they tasted okay until our last visit. So I asked if the fish had changed in the past few months. I was told it was tilapia now. Also, I used to get really inexpensive wine. I knew it was not a great wine but it tasted okay and was a decent price. Then they changed to a more expensive wine. It does taste a little better, but at $10 a glass (for a very small pour) I would expect more. I can buy THIS EXACT WINE for $10-$15 at the grocery store. I don’t mind paying $10+ a glass if it’s something I can’t easily/inexpensively get myself. Prices have gone up on all of the menu items, which I understand. It’s happening everywhere. I know that the restaurant’s costs have also increased.
Still love this place. We dine here as frequently as we once did.

The tacos on Taco Tuesday were just delicious! We enjoyed chicken, beef, fish, and shrimp tacos.

Food is not at all good not even 1 star i dont recommend d
Going here again
They have a large seafood aspect to their menu and it is fantastic and very large portions. I am a huge fan of salsa and they have great Salsa prior to meals.
Taco Tuesday tacos mostly lettuce. Sauce not any flavor to it. Very little grill fish and shrimp. Price is right but not worth it. Waitress spent more time with a guy at bar counter
We went to Baja Joe's last night for my grandsons birthday. The food was great, and we didn't have to wait long either. We will definitely be back!
The hostess at the front desk was absolutely the worst person in the whole staff. Actually, they're the only one that was sincerely just an awful person.
I was there today on Fathers day (June 15th, 2025) and she was wearing an off the shoulder red shirt. Immediately, we could sense that her attitude was very disrespectful and rude towards not just us, but all of the customers. She racially profiled me and my family by confusing us with another hispanic family that she spoke to prior to us arriving.
I have never met a Karen that young. I would be surprised if she works there for longer than a month.
Most likely I will not be coming back. Unless shes gone.
P.S. Everyone else, especially the manager, was extremely kind and helpful. We appreciate you very much for the quick service after we sat down.
The food is good but the customer service to this place is awful. I attempted to do a order Over the phone, so it was ready when I picked up. I got hung up once put on hold and then hung up the second time and then they didn’t pick up. I assumed it was because they were extremely busy, and when I show up to the restaurant, it wasn’t that busy. The girl that I placed the order with had a horrible attitude. I honestly will not be back

Oysters especial are the best! Cold, fresh with shrimp, scallops, avocado and jalapeño! Love Baja!
Server is like never around. And they definitely neglected to refill the drinks. Otherwise, the food is yummy. A little bit pricey.
The price bracket per person is not correct says currently in maps $10-$20. It is not more like $30-$50.

Flavor wise, the food was delicious. My only complaint is the fried items are extremely greasy.
