| - I gotta be honest, I was pleasantly surprised with this place. The food was actually really good and the salsa bar was stocked and very fresh! Fresh is a great word to describe Baja Fresh. Well for the items I had anyway. They have a fresh salsa bar, with 6 different salsas ranging from hot to mild, as well as jalapenos, limes and cilantro. I really enjoyed the mango salsa the best. It had bright, citrusy flavors that danced on my tongue. This was nothing like the jarred mango salsa you can find at the grocery store drowning in artificial flavorings and syrups. This was fresh made salsa and it was gooooood. The other salsa I liked was the baja salsa. It was a dark green and had a very good flavor. I stocked up on both of these.
I was in the mood for a burrito or tacos, but the grilled shrimp chile lime salad caught my eye. It's described on the menu as: fresh (there's that word again) salad greens and kale, pico, onion, bell pepper, jicama and tortilla strips, with fresh (and again) avocado and anejo cheese. All tossed in a chile lime dressing. This salad was amazing. The shrimp were grilled nicely, the veggies were crisp and that dressing was light and flavorful. That was a fresh (told ya) and filling salad. I also got a side of tortilla chips and small guacamole for only $2.99. I mostly got the chips to dip in the different salsas, but the guacamole was tasty. I can't say if I would come here for Mexican food, but I will certainly come back for that delicious fresh (haha) salad.
