Matt DebesApril 12, 2013Fantastic grilled fish tacos, and the beer-battered fish taco is great also. Hoping to try the beef and chicken tacos next time. Definitely a "must try" when you get the craving!
Louis MierFebruary 27, 2013Just like everyone else, I loved the Baja Original. 2 authentic style tacos and a Mexican beer for $10... Yes, please!
- Juan GonzalezApril 21, 2013The grilled fish taco is one the best I've had. Each of the ingredients is fresh and well matched to each dish. Definitely a great option in the area, if not NYC.
Xiomara TamaraAugust 13, 2021The chips and salsa are good! The fish taco Wednesday $2.49 deal is niche!
Silas MorriseySeptember 29, 2015Tacos are very good, traditional / best in NY / authentic, blah blah, but ask the staff for a cup of ice water. Stuff from the dispenser is nowhere near cold enough for a "drinkie" like myself.
Tif C.June 27, 2015Small place but the fish tacos are great. Definitely want to come back for their specials. Wednesday after 3 for $1.99 baja tacos and I think something Tuesday too!
Frank RimalovskiJune 19, 2012Really like this tiny taqueria that only serves tacos and quesadillas. Tried baja fish, shrimp and steak tacos and all were excellent. I'll be back. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Justin HAugust 23, 2016Shrimp tacos are fried, and the chorizo is pretty soft. They tasted great, but I wish they tortillas were made on site. All in all tasty, but there are better tacos in New York.
Best tortillas soup ever. And delicious baja tacos. There is a Taco and soup special...and if u check in 3 times there is a loyalty special.... A free fish Taco!!!
Jordan FrankfurtApril 19, 2015After coming back a second time, I have to say that the black bean quesadilla with spicy salsa was one of the best things I've ever tasted.
GET. THE. SHRIMP. TACOS. Also, 1.99 Baja Original after 3/Wed and don't forget to claim your free taco after 3 checkins- Prad NelluruJune 25, 2017The spicy tortilla chips are a must-try. And if you want a full meal, get the quesadilla. The tacos are good, but small for the price.
Damian BayonaNovember 2, 2015Baka style tacos and Mexican beer. In and out in 15 minutes. Get the fried fish taco and something spicy to put on top.
Jerry CSeptember 3, 2014Dorado Diablo hot sauce is extra hot! The bottle pours fast, so go easy when attempting to "shake it".
Alex KeslingAugust 9, 2014Try the grilled fish; it's well balanced and has a nice grilled flavor. The Baja Original, however, is quite disappointing.
Russell HirschornJune 9, 2013White Fish, Mahi Mahi, and Shrimp Tacos. Add some Ghost Chili hot sauce for a slap in the face #fooditude
Jesse PackerMay 6, 2012Best fish tacos in the hood, reasonably priced, too. Make sure you check in for the 3x special. A little slow on service so give yourself a few minutes - it's worth it.- This place is lovely. Real sweet owner, the baja original is light and crispy refreshing goodness. The chorizo, homemade, quesidilla is delicious.
Lizzy SaxeAugust 5, 2015All the tacos are excellent, the staff are friendly, and the containers are biodegradable. Great combination.
AlexMarch 29, 2016$2 fish tacos on Wednesdays. yummy hibiscus drink. all other tacos yummy & reasonably priced.
On Wednesdays after 3 pm, the Baja taco is $1.99. Usually it's still under $3, and extremely delicious. They're not huge so I get 2:)- Jordan FrankfurtMarch 26, 2016Absolutely amazing. The corn is the best item on the menu, but the bean quesadilla is nearly as good.
Katie LarusseSeptember 17, 2015Awesome mushroom taco. Shrimp and baja too. But DON'T get the corn. It's weird, very dry and there's no corn in it.
This place is a great alternative to Dos Toros. Tacos, quesadillas, Mexican Coke, and Jarritos. The steak and shrimp tacos are pretty delicious.
The best fish tacos I've come across thus far. Currently the bathroom code is 4-5-6-7.
Go for the tacos and skip the quesadillas. Chorizo and Fish are both great.- Caro SchieferNovember 13, 2017Was ok, but I expected much more. Ingredients were fresh but meat was not so good. Shrimp taco wasn't ordered by me - but grilled fish - and I needed to eat in anyways as "the line is so long".
Julia MontiJune 4, 2018Friendly service, great food with generous proportions. Quick and easy lunch.
Calvin MultanenFebruary 28, 2016Great tacos. On the smaller side so order 2-3. The Baja fish taco is 🙌
Matt HargraveMarch 13, 2014Best fish tacos I've found in the city! They've got ghost pepper hot sauce that kicks your ass too.
Claire S.July 31, 2013Seafood special is a steal: 1 Baja taco, 1 grilled mahi mahi taco, and 1 corn on the cob for $8.95.
Alana CadizAugust 29, 2014Pretty good tacos, perfect for a quick lunch. Free hibiscus drink when you check in on yelp
Yummy! The Baja and Shrimp tacos were great. Sip a Hibiscus Agua Fresca for a refreshing treat.
Leanne ZApril 2, 2016Love that they have compostable options and strive to conserve! Food was average but the guac was phenomenal!
Went with the Baja Fish tacos for my first time and they are beyond delicious, will def be going back :)- Fish tacos and tortillas soup a must. Wednesday they have soup and Taco special. Yum!
Fresh, fresh deliciousness. Grab a fish taco. Go here instead of Tortaria.
Be sure to add the seasonal soup to your order, especially on those cold winter days.
