What People's Say About Place

It was actually quite tasty. The chicken was fresh. Location is not great. But the food was very good

Shovanna is AMAZING! She will walk you through the menu, offer add on options, and help you decide, if needed. She was friendly, fast, and helpful.

Its a good spot to stop when you're driving on 5 and there is no where else to go. The food was ok, pretty expensive for what it was.

Stopped over to grab a bite and was pleasantly surprised by the amazing friendly staff and good food. The food was spicy and fresh. Thanks to the staff for suggesting food options and checking on us afterwards if everything was OK! A definite stop if ypu driving by!

Great fresh Mexican food right by the highway. Friendly staff.

I miss Baja Fresh! We discovered you in Elk Grove when we moved to Cali in 2000. Were excited to see you in Contra Costa when we moved over and then, pop! Gone.... So when Google told us about you on the 5 en route to So-Cal we had to stop. Nothing has changed. Same great flavors! Same terrific service. Best street style polo taco, EVER! Oh how I miss you

We were heading back from San Diego to the Bay area. The food was very good. Ordered a Baja bowl, Burrito and Taco. The customer service and the people were so nice . We headed back home only to realize 5 days later that I had forgotten my credit card at their facility. When I called, the lady who answered the phone was so pleasant and friendly. She said she had it. She then gave it to her manager who mailed it back to me. I want to thank Baja Fresh for their excellent customer service.....friendly and honest. THANK YOU! You guys are awesome.
