About Baja Cantina

Baja Cantina is a popular dive bar in Virginia Beach known for its great food and drinks at affordable prices. It offers a casual atmosphere with multiple screens showing football, a pool table, and daily specials. The menu features delicious fish tacos, which are large and satisfying, and shrimp tostadas that are highly recommended. House-made salsas, especially the hot one, add fantastic flavor with enough heat to enjoy. The restaurant also serves burritos and taco salads, with suggestions to ask for sour cream if preferred. Other popular dishes include wings, scallops, shrimp, and grouper ceviche. The place is open late and near the boardwalk, making it a favorite for both locals and visitors. The friendly staff, including servers like Maj, provide excellent service, making it a great spot to enjoy good food and a relaxed vibe. Visitors praise the environment's beachy, Mexican-mix feel, with some mentioning the surf & turf tacos as a must-try. The bar staff, such as Macy, are appreciated for their drinks and food recommendations. Many guests enjoy the quick, affordable lunch options like the “working man’s lunch” with 5 wings, a taco, and a soda for just $10. The food is generally fresh and delicious, with house-made salsas and guacamole standing out. While most reviews highlight the great atmosphere and tasty food, some mention that service can be slow at times, especially when there are few staff members on duty, but overall, Baja Cantina remains a favorite for good vibes, pool, and flavorful Mexican-inspired dishes.

Best chicken nachos on the east coast!! We don’t get to VA beach often but when we do, gotta get our fill!! (Then we go back home and talk about how good they are for a few more years)

Food is almost double the price now, they charge 25c for To go box , make sure you go inside and get some free water and a bunch of napkins because they charge 20% gratuity on takeout orders

Delicious always delicious and fresh service was great too
