“If you have not had the chance to dine in at Girasol, I highly recommend it. The chicharon with guac is a must as a starter, make sure you get some of the spicy sauce. As for a recommendation for a meal, well you have to come in and try. We loved the chilaquiles, the carne en su juego, the menudo, and the breakfast burrito. If you have a sweeter taste, the French toast, the pancakes and the crepe are awesome. But as mentioned before, you just have to come in and try everything.“

“Great tacos of all kind & affordable. Fish tacos, potatoe tacos, carne asada tacos, & more Mexican dishes. It's a small place with only a few tables. But it's mainly a take home food place. They have special either Wednesdays or Thursday & it's 2 for one. They select which tacos will be on special. Customer service has always been kind friendly people.“

“This was my first time eating here and I had a great experience. I ordered an asada burrito, and the staff were very friendly and thoughtful — they even asked if I had any dietary restrictions.
I’ve tried some Mexican food before, but I’m not an expert on what’s considered “authentic.” Still, I genuinely thought the food here was really good, especially as a work meal — filling, fresh, and satisfying.
I was also surprised by how carefully everything was packaged. They included tortilla chips and several different sauces, which was a really nice touch. You can tell they care about the customer experience.
l was just passing by this place, but I will definitely come back again.“

“Very comfortable place to be in. Everyone was relaxed and you could hear the staff in the kitchen communicating getting the orders out. They have good lighting, a larger modern menu board with a great selection. They had light hearted music playing and a big tv to watch the Dodger games. I was surprised to see Birria on the menu so had to get that for sure! I think I will may this my goto spot a couple days a week so I can eat better for less and no dishes to wash.“

I ordered a mixta tostada and the fish was too chunky. They also added ketchup on it! The tostada was not good. Shrimp was fresh! We will not be coming back.“

“I've been a fan of their Burrito Ultimo for over two decades. It is the same high quality and great taste it was in 2004 when I frequented the Baja Fresh near my then workplace. I retired a few years ago and visit a different Baja Fresh that is near a business I go to every few months...the taste hasn't changed in all that time. Love the salsa bar and freshly sliced jalapenos.“

“This is a Very hit or misplaced. But most of the time they miss! It seems things are getting cheaper and cheaper, especially their taco shells! You barely lift the taco when it falls to pieces! In this case, I didn’t have to do either when I opened the bag. This is how it looked.! I’ve just decided that I can’t go there anymore because the people just don’t seem to care about anything especially the food. You order something and most of the time you don’t get what you ordered you get something different or just plain wrong! Whenever I think it’s time to take a break from cooking, I give them a chance, but I can’t do it anymore. The food is just lousy and the service is not that great. Maybe during the day it’s a different story but at night it’s a nightmare! When you see them, it’s like let’s hurry and make the food and get the customer out of here so that we don’t have to deal with them. Anyway, anyone that goes there the best of luck I hope you’re the best but I’m just warning you right off!“
