I finally made it here after years of recommendations from several friends. The owner and his wife happened to be in when I was there as well. He was very kind and attentive and the service was great from the staff as well. I did not have one of the famous margaritas on this visit, but I did get the brisket Chili Rellenos. They were great! The only thing they could do better is maybe chop the brisket up smaller inside the Poblano peppers, but the flavor was on point. I would recommend this place, but go early to avoid the insane crowds.

I love it there at Baja! We go there very often and I never leave disappointed! The food is to die for! Definitely try the brisket tacos, fish tacos, or anything from the menu really. The margaritas are the best I have ever had! No other place could out do there margaritas. Not only is the food and margaritas, but the service there is also great! I enjoy every server we have had. Everyone at Baja is just so nice. From the hostess when you walk in, to the server who you have, to the customers there having fun and enjoying themselves.

Open room and super loud. Sat at the bar for drinks and then ate at a table. Didnt help that they put us in a corner near a bunch of kids. If you have 2 couples out for dinner, why would you put us next to a huge section of kids especially when other tables are Open? Bartender personality was as described, bland... like the chicken quesadillas. Chicken did not taste fresh like it was pre made or something unnatural. The other Baja restaurants have much better food. Too bad we will stick with the other bajas.

Weve been there a few times and the service has never been outstanding. This last time it was not good at all. Six of us there and we always had to wait for refills on drinks, chips etc. Brisket tacos are great but the fajitas came out over done. Beef was tough to chew and veggies were partially burnt. There are too many Mexican restaurants in the area to go back to this one anytime soon. Maybe Ill give it a another try in the future.

Prices seem high for lunch on the weekend. Service a little slow. Had the table guacamole $8.99 and only ate half. Got the rest to go. Walked outside, realized I left it on the table, turned around went back in and it was already gone. Said it was thrown away, no apologies or anything. I was barely out the door I would think someone could have told me I forgot it.

Its Friday Im hungry and wanted some margaritas from this awesome bartender Cesar but come to find out he was just wrongly fired he was actually a very great bartender so Ill go find some where else to run up a tab on drinks they lost a good asset to this place smh poor management communication from the owners daughter Gloria Im guessing from what I was told

If it wasnt for our waiter, the rating would be much higher. Took forever just to get our margaritas and when they finally arrived, they were not even what we ordered. We kept getting margaritas meant for other people. On top of that when it came to paying, the waiter brought a friends tab with his credit card missing and wrong items on our bills.

This place is horrible, the wait staff is rude and the service staff is incredibly rude, I asked for extra salsa for my fajitas that tasted like PLASTIC and she said "fine" with a very rude tone to her voice and she also got mad when I left a 6 dollar tip as if she was expecting more for the lousy service she offered

Our first time and last time. fajitas were lousy, tortillas are store bought, an order of sopapillias youd think an order would be four, wrong only two a order. Very high priced for mediocre food. Service poor staff very confused standing around talking having a god time with other staff. Will not come back ever..

we got brisket tacos (dry meat, no flavor, rice no good, beans no seasoning) & the Baja fish tacos ( fish good, cabbage dry, tortilla taste very store bought). Margarita was good if youre ready to drop $10 a glass. will not be back....I could have had a feast at Torchys for the price I paid here. NO BUENO!!

THE PRICES HAVE GONE Up - This used to be the goto Tex-Mex place in the area. However, upon going tonight and seeing the new menu well never go again. The brisket tacos are now $13 and used to be $9. We ended up having queso and leaving. Time to find a new place to eat that has reasonable prices.

Your Margaritas are good... They are NOT $10 good (used to be 6.75 something)... And by inserting an automatic 18% gratuity you cheated yourself from an additional 2%... Even when service is mediocre I tip 20%. Youve gotten to big for your britches for okay service and okay food... Wont be back.

The Grapevine location was my favorite restaurant/bar. It was the happiest day of my life, really, to find they had this location by the same owners. This along with the Grapevine locations have the Best Margaritas in DFW hands down. The food is an afterthought but still delivers....

This place is just too overpriced for the service and food.. Brisket Nachos $12 bucks really? They only provided a dab of guacamole and sour cream, presentation of the plate was horrible for the price paid. Would have been a better deal at Taco Cabana. Will not visit again.

Overall experience is pretty good. Weekends are AWAYS crowded so get there early. The margaritas are a must have! The Perfect margarita is excellent. Food is ok, I like the brisket tacos and chimichonga. If you like Baja or the atmosphere Def try Peace Burger in grapevine!

Great little mexican place; a little hidden from the main road. The food is great; my family loves their Hot Cheese dip. I personally love their "Huevos Rancheros" on weekend mornings. The decor makes you feel like you are in, well, Baja! Try it, you wont regret it

Me and my family come here a lot. We love the Ceviche, but wish they had saltines, and we absolutely think the food is satisfactory for a good experience. Id definitely recommend this over Rosas Cafe, as well as Taco Bell or Bueno.

The bartender Noe has the personality of a door. They use to have the best margaritas in town. Now theyre all pre-measured. Too many men servers what happened to the women. I guess Ill just start spending my money at Los molcajetes.

Love it! Brisket tacos are AMAZING. Great chips, salsa and margaritas. The servers are so friendly and their food is great. Im from south TX and good Mexican food is hard to find up here...this place is definitely one of my faves!

I love this place. I go there for brunch almost every week. The breakfast quesadillas are my favorite but it is hard not to order the brisket tacos. The margaritas are good too. Its a great way to spend a Sunday morning!

Messed up my order. 30+ dollars and they forgot two orders of guac, sour cream, beans, pico, and cheese. Ruined the meal. They are terrible. Called them and they didnt care at all. Dont go... Trust me.

First time here and it was super tasty! The margarita was delicious and worth it. The chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce (subbed) fantastic. The brisket super tasty and tender! Must come here.
