Baja Cantina & Grill offers a lively atmosphere with great ambiance and fun. The outdoor patio features a fireplace and vintage car racing memorabilia that create an easy-going vibe, making it a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. The restaurant is known for its excellent Mexican food and margaritas, with plentiful outdoor seating shaded by umbrellas. The food is generally good, with highlights like the Guadalajara carnitas and a burrito as big as a person's head, all at reasonable prices. The outdoor dining area is beautiful and well-maintained, and the waitstaff are attentive and knowledgeable. Parking is plentiful and the bathroom is spotless. The music is a highlight, with some bands receiving high praise, and the fireplace patio is considered one of the best in the area. However, the small dance floor may make dancing difficult during live music events, and service can sometimes be inconsistent. Some guests have experienced delays, such as waiting a long time for tortillas, but overall, Baja Cantina & Grill remains a decent choice for a night out with good food and a fun atmosphere.
