“Baja Fish Tacos is easily one of the best spots in Costa Mesa for anyone who appreciates fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, and consistently excellent food. Every visit feels like discovering a little piece of Baja right here in town. The moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by a casual, friendly atmosphere and the comforting aroma of grilled fish, warm tortillas, and perfectly seasoned salsas. It’s the kind of place where the food speaks for itself—and it never disappoints.
The fish tacos are the star of the show, and they’re done exactly the way they should be: flaky, flavorful fish lightly battered or grilled to perfection, nestled in a warm tortilla with crisp cabbage, creamy sauce, and just the right amount of spice. Every bite tastes fresh and balanced, with the kind of attention to detail that you can only get from people who take pride in what they serve. The shrimp tacos are equally outstanding—juicy, well-seasoned, and bursting with flavor.
Their menu offers a variety of options beyond tacos too—burritos, bowls, enchiladas, and even vegetarian choices that are just as satisfying. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the freshness is unmatched. You can tell everything is made from scratch daily, from the perfectly cooked rice and beans to the zesty salsas that add that extra kick of flavor.
What really sets Baja Fish Tacos apart, though, is the people. The staff is always welcoming, fast, and attentive, even when the place is busy. They’re quick to make you feel at home and ensure your order is right every time. The restaurant is always clean and well-kept, with a relaxed beach-town vibe that makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal slowly.
Whether you’re grabbing lunch after the beach, meeting friends for a casual dinner, or just craving something fresh and satisfying, Baja Fish Tacos delivers every single time. It’s local, reliable, and delicious—everything a great neighborhood restaurant should be.“

“I have been coming here for years. The Asada and fich tacos and are my favorites. Good pricing and very convenient with outdoor seating and limited parking. The whole corner building has been revamped and is looking really good. Also, if your in need of something else, there's hilltop liquor right next door.“

“There is a God!! I have been away for years working in North Dakota praying for a shrimp burrito. I was in Balboa over weekend and got my Shrimp fix. So darn good! The best shrimp soze and taste anywhere. They have not changed anything during this bad inflation. Miss the salsa bar but they gave us plenty. Most great places come and eventually go but GM is still.#1. Thank you Peter and staff!!.“

“The food and drinks are always fabulous but the service is honestly what keeps me coming back. Literally the best service I’ve had at any restaurant and I go to a lot of high end restaurants. The best part they always remember me but, honestly I think it’s because my very large brown and white standArd poodle who actually sits in the both with me. Either way I love the waitresses there all so sweet and friendly and, I really enjoy the food and drinks. It’s my Tuesday night go to.“

“El Pollo Loco is a go-to spot for flavorful and affordable Mexican-inspired grilled chicken dishes. With locations across the country, including one conveniently situated in Lake Forest, California, this fast-casual chain never disappoints.“

“Good food here! The cheese enchilada was the best I’ve had in this area, the beans were very good too. I thought the beef tamale was good but not exceptional. The sauce that covered the tamale and enchilada was very good! The chips and salsa were tasty but not very spicy.“

I went to the carniceria, they have a great marinade and prices are decent. It's a 20 minute drive for me but I go here often since I found it. Worth it.“

“Ordered to go. Service was solid. Started out hot out the gate with a 10/10 Baja style fish taco. Al Pastor taco = 6/10
Rice and Beans were also a mediocre 5.5/10 overall rating 7.2 but the happy hour and $13 lunch special is pretty good value. Will try again.“

“I used to eat at Wahoo’s (different location) every week in college and then I moved out of the area. When I came back to the area and rediscovered this place, I was so grateful to be able to still get great food at a reasonable price. Burritos are tasty and not too heavy. My favorite is the bowls and different protein options“
