Baha Restaurant

Food was amazing. I have to come back to try other things on the menu. You can come for all occasions whether you are celebrating a birthday or even a night out. Plenty of drinks to choose from.

Whole fried red snapper (Huachinango) was the best I've ever had. Cocktails are perfect, the bar knows what to do.

My 1st time coming here and let me say that everything was so delicious. The waiters were so attentive to our needs. I would definitely come back again.

I came to eat with my family to this restaurant, really nice vibe inside the restaurant. Friendly workers. I would recommend it if you like seafood.

Amazing Mariscos and Atmosphere! I drive 35-45 minutes just to come here! Baja Restaurant is hands down my go-to spot for delicious mariscos! The flavors are bold, fresh, and incredibly satisfying. Every dish I’ve tried has been packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Their cocktails are just as impressive—especially the Palomas, which are absolutely tasty and refreshing. The waitresses are always so nice and attentive, making sure you have everything you need for a great dining experience. What makes this spot even more special is the live entertainment. They have talented singers every Saturday, adding an extra layer of fun to the vibrant atmosphere. Plus, they provide all the sauces you could possibly need to customize your meal just the way you like it. I can’t recommend this place enough—it’s a must-try!

We stopped in for drinks. Very fresh environment. Looks good if you'd like seafood. Cocktails we ordered were delicious.

My family and I came here on Fathers Day (6/15/24) with out a reservation and were still seated promptly. First time here and I will absolutely be back. Great food even tho it was BUSY service did not skip a beat. Constantly being checked on and the Fathers at the table got free Coronitas. Great savory food, awesome drink menu. If I had to complain it would be the guy entertaining was fine but my sister and I left with a headache at how loud it was. But that’s really nitpicking. Awesome place. Def coming back to try out more of the menu and drinks. The Torre Sears 🔥🔥🔥

I almost don't want to write this review. I feel that this hidden gem is going to blow up, and then I will not be able to just walk in whenever I want. This is a new-ish place in the northwest side of Chicago and it was a pleasant and surprising addition to our neighborhood. The place is big and nicely decorated and boasts an incredible Mexican inspired seafood menu. The drinks are wonderful! I just can't say enough about them. Very upscale and very delicious. We ordered the Levanta Muertos, and the salmon à la Plancha. Both were amazing! The levanta muertos has this Nayarit sauce that is silky and elegant and a delightfully complex. Similarly, the Salmon has a hit of it and was to die for. All in all, a Great experience and will definitely be back!

It's over 100 degrees out there, but luckily I'm chilling in here with some sweet ceviche and superior sauces. This place is a gem. Nuzzled just west of all the commotion, this fanciful Latin seafood restaurant is a breath of relaxing, beach soaked air. I suggest touring the menu, and don't sleep on the pasta del mar- a fantastic cream pasta with various sea critters abound. Also, the bathrooms were really clean. Not something I usually care about, but it was remarkably clean.

Mezcal flight ok Ceviche good Coco a la diabla ok I was like put taken by the looks of this restaurants Inside it's very nice .. my dish ok I am willing to give it another shot .

This is a hidden gem. My brother-in-law suggested we come here for a birthday, and we made a reservation for a party of 8. First off, they have their own parking lot. There is beautiful outdoor seating. The service is fantastic. The staff checked on us frequently. They bring out a tray of crackers and tortillas, ceviche, along with a mix of salsas/hot sauce. The food and drinks were great. There is a condiment tray on the table with 15 different hot sauces. I had the tacos, empanadas, rice and beans, and I tried the steak from my husband. Everything was good! My kids enjoyed the quesadillas, french fries, and pan de ajo. Their nonalcoholic mocktails are DELICIOUS! Then there was live music. Honestly, this restaurant was such a good time and experience. I hope to go back soon!

FIRST OF ALL A HIDDEN GEM! been in the area for 10+ years and recently decided to check it out. Great in and outdoor seating. The decor wonderful! They had a dj out front parking lot FREAKIN AWESOME! Perfect volume, the food was outstanding, The oysters were chefs kiss FRESH. The drink flight! THE DRINKS! The bartender definitely knows what they are doing. Will most definitely visit again!

My absolute favorite place for Ceviche Service is always food and portions are perfect. If you love seafood you have to come here.

I can't speak to the food but we came for margs. The service staff were super attentive and kind. And when you sit down you get a few sauces, ceviche (I think), and crunchy selection. But OMG the drinks. I watched the bartender making the drinks and every. Single. Drink. Was made with such care. They even had the type where they smoke it with a glass top. I'm absolutely coming back for food.

Cuidado! Caro. $$$$ Caro. Esto no es mariscos recién pescado, ¿verdad? No vale la pena. Los colores, el arte y la presentación son una distracción. Si no pagamos esto en el centro de la ciudad, ¿por qué pagar esto en un vecindario pequeño? La gente de este vecindario lo probará una o dos veces, pero no regresará ni recomendará este lugar. *Hay otras buenas opciones en Chicago que no le cuestan un tercer de su renta/hogar por 3 personas. Watch out! Expensive. $$$$ Pricey. Seafood isn't freshly caught, right!? Not worth it. The colors, art & presentation, are a distraction. If we don't pay this in down town, why pay this in a small neighborhood. The people in this neighborhood will try it 1 maybe 2x but won't return or recommend this place. *There are other good choices in Chicago, that don't cost you a third of your rent/mortgage for 3 people.

Everything is wonderful and the patio! at 4 PM. We got a parking spot two in their lot, a heart shaped dish of guacamole and a variety of empanadas as well as a delicious cocktail. Please see my pictures for results!

Baja is the fresh catch in the large sea we call Chicago. This place has a heavy seafood menu, but they also have traditional Mexican dishes from the land. The location is a bit outa the way on the far northwest side, but the trip is worth it. The large patio is a great place to enjoy a smokey Old Fashioned, or a Margarita. The staff is a delight as well for birthday celebrations.

Maybe somewhat decent service would make up for the poor taste and quality of the food. Drinks are decent. Ambience is nice; nice decor. Gram worthy. Don't go hungry or with family.

Went here Thursday afternoon with two colleagues. Came here wanting seafood and instead the 3 of us ordered breakfast. Chillaquiles and steak. The food was delicious. Steaks were cooked to perfection. Everything was just exquisite. I will be back for seafood but my goodness the breakfast was delicious! Fair prices, excellent food and excellent service. What more could you ask for? Was not expecting this believe me.

The patio was amazing, service was wonderful, and food was alright. I do think it left some things to be desired.

What a great addition to the neighborhood. They have a nice little parking lot, but it does get full, especially during the peak hours. Luckily there's more tables than there is parking. We were able to get seated right away and received great service all the way through the end. They start you off with a cup of clam chowder. It's a nice touch especially during the winter months. Most other Mariscos places will serve you fish ceviche, which isn't bad at all, Baha just decided to change it up a bit. My wife ordered their Strawberry Piña Colada and I ordered their Jalapeño con Pepino Mezcalita. Both were very delicious. The Strawberry Piña Colada tasted very tropical and made me feel I was on an island until I looked outside the window. The Mezcalita was very refreshing and has a hint of spiciness. Would definitely order these again. For our entrees, my wife ordered their Ceviche Tropical. This was made with fish, shrimp and mango. I've never had ceviche with mango and I must say was quite tasty. The mango added some sweetness that went perfectly with this dish. I ordered their Coco a la Diabla. My go to dish at any Mariscos restaurant is a Piña Rellena, but I already have a place that I go to for that so I wanted to switch it up a bit and order something different here. So instead of in a pineapple, you get a stuffed coconut full of mixed seafood, in a spicy red sauce. And it was indeed spicy but with so much flavor. You get a mixture of shrimp, calamari and octopus and covered in cheese. Overall we left very satisfied and very full. What a perfect evening and I can't wait until I come back. I highly recommend this place.

Had a great time- food was good &so flavor! We had a variety of different dishes! Great service and such a vibe!

The service is here is excellent! They make you feel welcome since the moment you walk in the door. They are constantly checking on you. The food is very flavorful but the spot light was taken by the cocktails. I really enjoyed the options and presentation they offer. We went late on a Saturday night and it was very laid back. We really enjoyed ourselves. Recommend!

Neighborhood favorite! I love their fried fish! The aguachiles! Tuna plate! And micheladas are just right! The service is great and really attentive. The ambiance is relax for a date night or just right to be around with friends.

I had a great time visiting Baha Restaurant. You are greeted with a smile and we were seated right away. There is really great music constantly playing and the restaurant itself is really nicely decorated. The menu offers many options with a focus on seafood but also has many others. Each dish is HUGE. You really get a lot of food so its worth every penny. We ordered the Parrillada for two and 3 of us ate and there were leftovers to go. Everything was super flavorful and well seasoned. Do not miss out on the empanadas de camaron. Probably best ones I've had in the area!

This is a great restaurant! First time I went I had the margarita flight which was great and the ceviche. Went back last week to have the oysters and ceviche tower and again, we were blown away. The food was so fresh and delicious. Service is great. Love the atmosphere, outdoor patio is nice to sit at.

This is a very high quality restaurant. The service is very friendly and welcoming. The food is off the charts. Ceviche is served before you order anything. The manager came around with complimentary tequila shots. I enjoyed the Mexican Poke and my spouse had the ribeye steak. Both were outstanding. We started with the mushroom quesadillas and wow, best mushrooms I've ever tasted. We will be back soon.

A hidden gem on the northwest side! My wife and I went for dinner with our 2-year-old and loved it. The food was delicious and plentiful. Waitstaff was attentive and friendly. When you come into the restaurant, you know you're going to have a good time. They have great Latin music and decoration. Can't wait to try the patio in the summer!

Hats off to this restaurant. Great, clean, beautiful restaurant. Amazingly nice servers, hosts, and bartenders. And the food is a 10/10! Have been coming here for multiple occasions over the last few years since it's opened and definitely recommend everyone come and try their menu and cocktail options!

Went for mother's day at 11am. Online it says they serve breakfast until 12. They gave us the menu for lunch and I asked if they had the breakfast ones and the server said they don't serve breakfast now. They have signs all over advertising breakfast. The kitchen staff refused to make breakfast. service was trash. don't recommend this place.

One of the best dining experiences we've had in a while. Great outdoor space, amazing and attentive service, delicious food, and great cocktails. When you get seated you get a ceviche appetizer (for free!) and it's not some crappy ceviche. This Torre (tower) was absolutely delicious. Such a great way to start your meal any Baha. We tried- Guacamole- this guac was delicious and is a large portion. I have been sick of going places and getting two table spoons of guac. Not here! Here you get a large enough portion to share and have left overs. EL ESCORPIÓN (SERRANO-INFUSED TEQUILA, MEZCAL, LIMON, PINEAPPLE-SERRANO ICE SPHERE, CILANTRO) such a delicious cocktail- tangy, sweet, and spicy! Order one. CHILES RELLENOS ESTILO BAHA (Chiles rellenos de mariscos con salsa de la casa (poblano peppers stuffed with seafood). I was a bit apprehensive about this dish. I mean, chiles rellenos are such a staple of 'land' food and would it be any good filled with mariscos? Yes! Yes it was! So delicious. I highly recommend as they are a great twist on the classic. QUESADILLAS (Orden de 2 (two cheese quesadillas) we ordered this for my son and he loved it, also a large portion so he got lunch for the next day. PIÑA Del Mar (Piña rellena de mariscos con queso gratinado (pineapple stuffed with seafood & covered in melted cheese). This is a great, delicious rendition. On it's own it is not spicy but I added some salsa and it gave it the kick I wanted. The pineapple gives the dish a sweet taste couple with the creamy sauce and the fresh seafood it's a dance of different textures and flavors. All portions are huge and you can definitely share with another person. Since they have a large menu I think Baha is a great place to come with a large group, order a lot and just share the dishes. They have shows on Saturday night (singers) and they sing in between the tables. It can get loud and awkward (for me, I'm awkward). I would definitely go back but might need to skip the show on Saturday nights. I will be going back and trying the shrimp tacos and the lobster. Can't wait!

Good food everything time the sauces are so good and homemade. Overall we had a great night

Pros - Authentic! Every customer was Hispanic. Loved that - Extremely fresh seafood. Felt like I was on a beach with light, fresh, flavorful seafood. Amazing - I tried guacamole, ceviche, cocktails, etc to see how well this restaurant makes the basics. They were SO great. I LOVE the homemade chips for the guacamole. I even got a free bag to-go - Great free appetizer (like a creamy, mini-ceviche with tostadas) - Big portions of fantastic food. I love that - Very clean. Also clean bathrooms - Very friendly service. I felt very at home - Point and pay enabled. Love paying with my phone, especially after COVID - Live singing! He serenades people sometimes Cons - Really none. If I had to say something, then I wish the parking lot was bigger (it's small and was full) Best Bites - Guacamole on homemade chips, with ceviche & shrimp cocktail on top - Mango ceviche - Free appetizer ceviche was a great introduction to their cuisine Conclusion - As another reviewer said: perhaps the only thing better than Mexican food is fresh Mexican seafood? Well, this is the place. I've only been once, but I'm going to become a regular - I HIGHLY recommend everyone try this place

Service was okay. Oysters were okay with the exception of a really bad oyster. I brought it to the attention of my server, and she said she would inform the kitchen. It was so bad, I had to spit it out into my plate. The ceviche de pulpo was good. I received no compensation nor an apology for the rotten oyster. I WILL NOT RETURN.

Great The free ceviche started us off on a high note and the food did not disappoint. Both our kids ate up and we really enjoyed our drinks and the music. Our only disappointment was that they didn't have the churros but all and all an A+ experience. We will definitely go back. We recommend the bacon wrapped shrimp, the shrimp quesadilla, and the steak tacos all were delicious and the steak was great quality steak. The mariachi band was a fun addition and played great music.

So happy I can walk to this place. Food is CONSISTENTLY good. Good service and great outdoor patio.

The restaurant is beautiful.. the waitress didn't speak English but we made it work. Lol. The drinks were good but the food was just regular. No real seasoning or flavor.

Lovely new addition to the neighborhood!! We drove by and the small patio caught our eye. We sat outside on a windy day. I ordered the Jamaica Mezcalita and an appetizer called Torre Sears as my meal. The Mezcalita was DELICIOUS. I did notice some other guests ordering Mezcalita flights and wish that I was offered that as an option! I will need to order it next time. The seafood tower was MASSIVE. Chock full of seafood - it actually left me wanting a bit more sauce or seasoning to go with it because it was a little bit on the blander side. My husband ordered the fajitas and it was phenomenal. So beautifully grilled and marinated! Definitely recommend. Overall, very excited to have this addition to the neighborhood and am excited to try other menu items. The portion sizes were huge (maybe a little bit too - even, if that's possible), innovative, and fresh!

My brother and I treated my parents for dinner (it was my mom's birthday) and the food was delicious. Service was also amazing. We had two orders of Parilada Para Dos. We plan on returning soon!

I've probably driven by this restaurant 100 times and always noted how nice the patio was and finally stopped in for lunch today. I would give it 10 stars if I could, amazing atmosphere (including inside dining), fresh fish (and I'm not a big fish eater), strong cocktails, and fabulous service!! I almost hesitated giving this restaurant a great review because I want to keep it a hidden gem all for myself. I will definitely be back.

Good food; LARGE portions; interesting neighborhood; good service. And a parking lot to boot!

This place is really cool. The staff and band are so friendly. I was seated around 3pm on a Sunday afternoon pretty quickly and the wait staff were quick to come to my table. I ordered a pina colada and that's it. I just wanted to sit back and enjoy the band and I definitely did. The band was so nice and inviting. They danced with a lovely older woman and then convinced her to sing a song with them. It was quite entertaining and awesome to see. Would definitely come back here to try the food and see the band again.

Great restaurant. Super clean and decor is top notch to match the cucumber jalapeño mezcal cocktail. Perfect blend of mezcal and cucumber. We had the pariallada for two. Tender chicken and the chorizo was super flavorful. Comes with beans, rice, salad and tortillas. Great service too.

My must Go and New Favorite spot for some very delicious food and good drinks! Friendly staff and great environment! I highly recommend here

I came with family on a Friday night! Place was busy and music was way too loud! Imposible to have a conversation. We ordered fajitas, pollo asado, Carne a la tampiquena, coco seafood, piña colada and horchata/Jamaica water. Steak on fajitas tasted horrible, and coco seafood is the worst thing I have ever tried. It is a supposed to be combination of seafood a la Diabla (spicy and hot). However, it tasted like a blend of Chile powder mixed with cheese!!! The only decent tasty meal was the pollo asado. Even Jamaica water was all diluted ... street vendors is way better. I wouldn't recommend unless you want a nicely decorated bland/unpalatable food

I decided to stop in by Baha after work for some Friday night dinner, and left a very happy customer (and very full)! For starters, the place is absolutely beautiful- seems brand new in terms of design and layout, and the location offers free parking on their property for customers. In terms of food, I had the shrimp empanadas for a starter and they were absolutely delicious, and come with a sauce that makes every bite even more enjoyable. The Chile relleno entree (peppers stuffed with seafood) was absolutely delicious, and quite filling to say the least. Lastly, their shrimp and fried fish tacos were also delicious. The seafood is seasoned nicely, the flavors are very well balanced, and more than anything the food is fresh. It's been quite some time since I've been this impressed by a new location, and I certainly plan to come back. Also, the staff is excellent! Very nice, communicative and overall, the experience was fantastic.

Omg by far the best favorite restaurant of all time now !!! The food was phenomenal!!! The shrimp A la diabla omg sooo good ...and my hubby had the the skirt steak enchilada plate sooo good as well!!! When I tell u I'm stuffed I'm stuffed up to ribs and bra line lol....we had the ceviche de pescado soooo good as well....we then got a the flight which was 4 of there drinks made with mescal and UGHHHHHH sooogood it was a tamarindo ,a jalapeno cucumber a Jamaica one and and orange one omg soooo good . All I have to say is this is my number one restaurant now and we can't wait to try other things on the menu .....!!!! I would give it 10 stars..

I will begin here, I have been waiting for this location to open since I saw the coming soon sign. I found out Baha opened through the Belmont Craign United social media page. I am glad I finally stopped in. From the start, the exterior draws your eyes and pulls you in. The moment we walked in, we were greeted instanly. Friendly staff outright, from the start of the experience until we left. Very clean location. The appetizer did hit the spot. Water we two glasses in a very cold twist bottle was a nice surprise. The sangria (soda bottle) was prepared in a large mug with fruit, it was delicious and well prepared. The shrimp taco was amazing along with the carne asada tacos did hit the spot. Well prepared, the side of rice and fries were freshly made and was a perfect addition. It was worth the wait. I am glad this location open. Welcome to Belmont Craign. I will back soon. See you soon.

Baha didn't disappoint . It's definitely not your regular Nayarit sea food, they incorporated a Guadalajaran sea food seasoning. Loved how they were very attentive the waitress kept making sure everything was OK. We had the Langosta Rellena , the Langosta was big, the rice portion was more than enough. For drinks we ordered The Mezcalito Tamarindo , El Escorpion, La Mula chula (highly recommend) and a Mezcal oyster shooter called Caballito that one It was OK it was on the warmer side. For my kid I ordered a steak tacos and let me tell you it was delicious too , yes I took a bite out of it! Dessert was on the house for being their opening week. They had a live trio group playing to some good Norteñas. The owner and the hostess came up to ask if everything was going great they were super friendly. I wish them the best to this new place . We see ourselves being regulars.

Wow the staff the food, drinks, and atmosphere was terrific. I want to keep it a secret but can't because it was so delicious!! Love love love this place!!

Love this place , have a big open space outdoors and very delicious food and drinks plus I think they have chinelos show dance which I enjoy plus other good music too, love the environment I recommend

Piña Del Mar was excellent! Not to mention a generous portion of mixed seafood! You absolutely HAVE TO TRY their Mezcalita Flight! Will make you want to make babies!

This was my first time coming to this restaurant and I'm so glad I did! Since it was Friday, they had live Mariachi music playing in the restaurant which I loved. The staff is so friendly, the pl super clean and new inside, the outdoor area is super cute and colorful! The food was delicious. I had steak fajitas which also had avocado and rice on the side for it. I ordered a strawberry piña colada (tasty and the drink was huge!) My friend ordered shrimp stuffed pepper and we shared a side of guacamole and shrimp empanadas. I would've liked a little more lime and salt on the guac. Other than that, all of the food tasted fresh, the food came out very quickly, and our waitress always made sure we had what we needed. Can't wait to come back again!!

The best Baha style in Chicago! Fresh ceviche! Great cocktails! Nice patio ! Free parking! And the whole fried red snapper is amazing!

Absolutely Amazing! Staff, FOOD, drinks were great! My family and I have been to multiple sea food restaurants but Baha surely sets the bar high for all the others. The pasta de Mar is delicious here . Plates are well served and beautifully plated. Portions aren't too small either. Piña Colada is also amazing- not too sugary, very well balanced with the alcohol. The servers are great and very sweet. All in all we loved it & it surely is the restaurant to go when you're craving sea food! Todo estuvo delicioso. Muy buen servicio. Muy limpio. Meseras muy amables.
