| - What separates this chain from others? Nothing. Their concept is that they use fresh, healthy ingredients with no freezers in the house, which was fine and dandy in the 90s putting them ahead of the fast food Americanized Mexican chains. But the rise of the fast casual, custom restaurants left Baja Fresh eating their dust. The minimal variety of selection for burritos and tacos which have set ingredients make it a hassle to customize your food to your liking. Combined with prices that are elevated compared to others pretty much leaves this place off my list when looking for Mexican.
I went to this location twice in the last month. Once to pick up a catering order and the second time to have lunch because I was in the area. Although, it was wasn't too busy during the lunch hour, the place was cluttered with uncleaned tables. Language barriers made ordering more difficult than it should have been. I had the steak Burrito Mexicano ($7.39) which was a typical burrito with rice, beans, salsa, onions, and cilantro. If you're looking to fill up, you can find larger burritos for a buck or two less. This burrito didn't do the job for me.
I used their catering to order their Fajita Fiesta for a company meeting in which I needed to feed about ten people. Ordering over the phone 24 hours prior was a breeze with all options covered and the order was ready when I arrived except for the chips which were in the fryer because the manager wanted to assure I had hot chips to take with me. For $70, you have your choice of two proteins, flour or corn tortillas, peppers, rice, choice of beans, cheese, onions, guacamole, cilantro, salad with dressing, and the aforementioned chips with salsa. This was plenty of food for 10 and probably the only thing I would recommend from here.
