Baja Burrito - Review - Berry Hill - Nashville - The Infatuation

"Before Chipotle and Qdoba opened around these parts, Nashville had Baja Burrito in Berry Hill serving big-as-your-head-burritos. They’re no spring chicken in the Nashville food scene and they’re in on the joke—the website looks like it did in 2000 and you can fax in takeout orders (though we haven’t tried that yet). photo credit: Casey Irwin photo credit: Casey Irwin photo credit: Casey Irwin photo credit: Casey Irwin That said, the menu is beautifully simple: pick your tortilla (regular, spinach, chipotle, wheat) and all the usual fillings: beans, cheese, salsa, etc. The marinated tinga chicken is especially good, and tomatillo salsa and corn pico offer some nice finishing touches. Baja also has taco options, of which the fish tacos are king. Post up under one of the patio umbrellas burrito and beer in hand, and life will feel a bit breezier. Food Rundown photo credit: Casey Irwin Tinga Chicken Burrito The burritos here follow the traditional assembly line: meat, beans, cheese, toppings, and sauces, all wrapped in a stretchy tortilla that always seems to hold way more than it should. The chicken tinga (a.k.a. chipotle chicken) is tangy and tender, and served pulled as opposed to cubed. Salsas vary from pico to green tomatillo to spicy red (our favorite), and we love the grilled corn relish as the final topper. photo credit: Casey Irwin Fish Tacos Lightly crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, the fish in this taco hits all the right notes. It’s amped up by the crunchy slaw and Baja’s mystery “white sauce,” which tastes like a creamy chipotle. It’s served wrapped in surprisingly soft and pliable corn tortillas, too. Dessert Dessert here rotates, but always get a churro relleno if it’s on the menu. It’s just the right amount of crispy and filled with a smooth caramel sauce." - Bailey Freeman

If you live in Nashville and haven't gone to Baja Burrito, you need to go like right now. This place is a Nashville staple. I went at 5:45pm after work on a Wednesday night and it was surprisingly pretty empty. Within minutes of me arriving there was a line out the door. That's the Baja that I know and honestly was expecting. I got a steak burrito. This was a new choice for me and as always it didn’t disappoint. Can't wait to go back again soon! Baja has a small parking lot so while parking is available it can be a little hard to park. Luckily people do tend to come and go so sometimes it’s a matter of just waiting a few minutes or just getting lucky. All in all you might just have to be a little flexible

This place is always jammed. It's a tiny parking lot for a busy place but I found a spot and went on in. Love the interior. Colorful, fun. Ample seating. You counter order and build your burrito with different tortilla options, choice of beans, selection of meats and fixings. Burrito was good sized, plenty of fillings but on the bland side. Everything could have used a pinch more seasoning. Everything was quality and fresh made. Here's the Breakdown: Solid grub at a reasonable price in a cool setting with damn near impossible parking +4 stars. I'd go back.

This is truly a place you don't want to miss! From burritos to tacos, a ton of fresh ingredients & so many menu choices! 😋🌮 #Food #Tacos #Burritos #Restaurant #Foodie #Delicious

My friend recommended to me and did takeout. The price was reasonable and the quality was higher than I expected. You can choose foods for burritos. They had four different sources and I like pineapple source. I really loved their fruit juice. I like the decorations in the restaurant.

I am sorry although food is tasty. Some health and safety concerns. Way too many flies flying around the food prep area. Very unsanitary. That needs to be fixed. Should be some fly repellent used to stop the increase of flies .These are big ones too. I wont be back.

Fast, delicious, and filling! We went at lunch and despite the line, they moved very quickly and there was plenty of seating. The burrito was fantastic and I was full the rest of the day - amazing for around $10-12/person. I loved their pineapple salsa (I like to mix it with the hot) and their fruit tea.

As someone born in Nashville, each trip I take to Baja Burrito when I visit my hometown is a like a warm hug from an old friend. I miss the Nashville I grew up in and Baja Burrito is one of the last places from my teenhood remaining. Onto the food: It's a better option than Chipotle or Moe's, in my opinion. Because it's not corporately owned, the atmosphere is of a well-loved hometown restaurant, because that's what it is. There's handwritten signs for the main menu and special items. Seating can be separate or communal, depending on how the tables inside are arranged that day. The patio seating is plentiful and features a cute cactus garden as well as table umbrellas. Because I'm autistic, I always get the same thing every time I come: a regular burrito with chicken tinga and my fixings. I think guacamole is extra, but I wouldn't know because I never get it. There's a lot of options for things to add to burritos and salads. I always make sure to get their picó. There's also a salsa bar for their fresh, house-made tortilla chips. I love those chips, crispy thin and salted!

Definitely on the louder side, and the food was pretty good! My only complaints are that there is not much parking, the line was long, and my friend got massively overcharged for what she ordered. Cool experience, but I am not sure I would come back again.

the BEST burrito in Nashville! I've been going to Baja Burrito for at least 20 years - food quality and efficiency of service have NEVER fluctuated. The pineapple salsa is so good. I got two fruit teas so I could stash one in the fridge since I was in town to visit family. This was of course my fave meal during my short visit.

Ok... I DO NOT want to reveal my age with this review but whatever... it's been a while since I've been coming here. A few same ppl and a few new. The menu still almost the same except the prices (for obvious reason$) as like any other place. Food has kept its signature taste and the amount of food. They still have their horchata and tea drinks, their salsa bar and regular fountain drinks. They have tables very close to each other so don't be shy, they also have a patio with umbrellas for the hot weather's, didn't see heaters but maybe they do for the winter? It's super busy and people still line up outside waiting for it to open up. Come check them out!

If you live in Nashville and haven't gone to Baja Burrito, what are you doing?? This place is a Nashville staple. I went at 5:45pm after work on a Wednesday night and it was surprisingly pretty empty. Within minutes of me arriving there was a line out the door. That's the Baja that I know and love haha. As always the food was great. I got a steak burrito. Can't wait to go back again soon! Also Baja does have a small parking lot. You can get parking pretty easily since most people come and go, but be prepared to be a little flexible with parking if need be.

This place stays packed fyi. Came for lunch and the line was wrapped around the building. I left and returned that evening in hopes to get in. It was still packed with people, but the line was much shorter. The food is really good and the employees here are very friendly. I will say if you get anxious with trying to order food because you have numerous people behind you waiting, just look at the menu beforehand to know what you want. Parking is a madhouse in that area. Sheesh. They do have outdoor and indoor seating. I can really speak on the cleanliness of the place because there was stuff on the floor and some of the tables hadn't been wiped down from the previous guests. The salsa station was a bit chaotic. Especially when several people want salsa. It's a small designated area for that, that also interferes with the drink station. Have a little patience. The salmon salad was pretty good. I had a bone in my salmon, so I didn't end up finishing it. It's a personal thing lol. I highly recommend if you want something light.

A classic build your own burrito experience. The salsas are great and meats are seasoned beautifully. I love this WAY more than Chipotle!

Tried this place later at night, very good food. The restaurant was a little cramped and very busy which could have been dependent on when we went but the staff was friendly. The food was good, the homemade salsas were a great touch and would definitely go again.

My friends always mention that this was a good burrito place, but I never had seen it until last week when I was just driving by! Parking is a little wonky there's some (not much) in front and around the side but then you have to walk around back but no biggie. Overall though this is a quick, no-frills burrito place for a good price. The guacamole was the only thing that was underwhelming, but the queso was a hit, and my steak burrito was awesome. You get to pick your toppings as you go. The line can get long but service is quick and easy.

Excellent! Try the Brisket & the Barbacoa! The food was great & the staff was amazing. The atmosphere is crowded & on the noisy side, just like you'd expect at a popular hole-in-the-wall.

I had a massive craving for a burrito and Baja Burrito was the only place that could fulfill it! The start the parking is always tricky. If you don't get the prime paring of right in the front off of Thompson lane you can find the additional parking near the back off of Columbine Place - a 2 min walk! If you come during a "slow" hour you will just walk in and order. Sometimes there is a *line so beware of time of day/day of week.* But trust that the line will go fast when you go with friends. I go for burritos but they also have tacos, taco salad and a taco plate! It is customizable so you pick your base, meat, toppings then sides (here is my order) : flour tortilla, Mexican rice, black beans, steak, pico de gallo, lettuce, jalapeños, corn salad, onions, cilantro, mild salsa, and sour cream, side of chips and queso. Then you go to the self serve salsa bar and get the mild pineapple salsa for your chips. There is plenty of seating inside but during the warmer weather sitting outside is just way better. I will say be prepared to wipe off some tables/chairs, it gets messy eating a packed burrito and there is not enough staff to keep up with the flow of people to keep the tables as clean - especially outside.

I went to Baja Burrito in the Berry Hill/100 Oak area today. Upon looking into it seems like it's been around for years and somehow I just passed it without noticing. I was craving an oversize Chipotle style burrito but didn't want Chipotle pricing/quality/skimpiness so I went more local. There is a lot of parking for this spot including next to the building, behind the building and across the street, as well as some street parking. Free parking will win me over everytime, and overflow free parking is almost unheard of! I arrived around noon and it was pretty busy but I was able to order right away and it moves fast! I did a small (10 inch) steak burrito, with beans, green salsa, pico, sour cream, corn, cheese, and guacamole. The rice looked great, but I'm allergic to white rice so I couldn't try it but it's Mexican restaurant/Spanish style/ red rice. The burrito was only $7 I think, which is great! I added a glass bottled drink so after tax only $11. The burrito was excellent! The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, the beans were seasoned, the meat wasn't chewy or fatty and had good flavor, and a steamed giant tortilla really helped satisfy my craving! If you are on that side of town (or want Chipotle style but not from Chipotle) I highly recommend checking them out! Also, they have a nice patio too for those who love a patio as much as I do!

I am channeling the enthusiasm of my dear friend, Ellie, as I write this review -- Ellie loves, and I mean LOVES, Baja. Baja does not claim to be anything but exactly what it is: a fast, affordable local Chipotle-esque burrito joint, with generous portions and unlimited salsa. Here, Ellie would probably mention the pineapple salsa, which she adores and raves about. I'm more of a spice lover, so I opt for the option with the most HEAT to douse on my burrito bowls. Baja is a crowd pleaser, and it has a special way of bringing people together. You probably don't need me to tell you to try it, as it seems like the whole of Nashville gets in line every time I'm there :) Baja is a staple of the college diet, and to Ellie it's even more, it's a comfort food.

This place constantly has a line for a very good reason! Don't worry though the line moves quick and the employees are super efficient. The vibe is a casual beachy taco joint so if you are wanting fancy it wont be here. The food is so good for the price you are paying. You can get three of the best fish tacos I've had in recent memory for $8.... Some nicer restaurants nearly sell you one taco for that! The chips and queso were also pretty good, not mind blowing but not bad either. They pretty much just sell burritos and tacos so you cant really go wrong. Parking can be a bit tight if you go at a busy time but people are always coming and going so it's manageable. So glad we have a delicious casual taco joint to frequent. Give them a try!

I have been coming here for years. The food is always great. The only negative I ever have to say is that the parking situation is unfortunate, and is the only reason I'm ever deterred from making a trip.

Tried this place for lunch the other day and it was pretty good. They have a lot of variety as far toppings. The service was very quick and it was priced around the same as I would have payed at a chain like chipotle but this spot tastes better. Will be returning soon.

I love Mexican food! The place is super busy, during lunch hours, good luck finding a parking spot. You'll have to park at different store and walk here. I was very skeptical on Baja burrito but honestly, it did not disappoint me at all! The food here is soo good! I love that they have a salas bar (unlimited salas....YES)! This is a definite plus for me considering that lots of places do not give or provide enough salsa! The burrito was outstanding! I can't wait to come back and try the other food here.

I cannot stress how good this place is. I work very close to Baja and I can easily have it everyday for lunch! Their prices are great, and their food is even better. The employees are always so kind and helpful. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good meal.

Yes...(or mejor dicho, "Sí")...this place is about as good as it gets for baja-style "good eats." Ademas: (este lugar es tan bueno como para "comer bien" al estilo baja.) Flavor-filled with just the right spices and seasonings, wide range of options, fair prices. and "order-customize-fillings as you go, watching as they prepare your order right in front of you. Starter: The warm, crispy tortilla chips reminded me of my favorite Southern California taqueria. The brisket burrito was 5 stars delightful (over stuffed with "sabroso" meat, beans, rice, cheese, and more; served warm, with steamed tortilla that melted in your mouth! Salsas are nice, queso dip is excellent. And so much more to choose from...you're gonna have to get a bigger boat ...(oh, wait! that was Jaws.) You and I are gonna have to come back several times to check it all out.

Baja is literally the best! I am not a huge fan of Mexican-style food, but I jump at any chance to eat here. The food is always fresh and excellent. The biggest problem is that there's always a line out the door. But the service is usually pretty quick.

You know, I wasn't as wow'ed by this place as so many others. The corn and flour tortillas here aren't homemade - they're a bunch of floppy store bought shells from the story. And the fish in the fish tacos were just eh, while the brisket taco was the best part. Juicy and bursting with flavor. Wouldn't come back but glad to try it.

This place is a whole vibe! (Do we even say that anymore?) it's our absolute favorite dive near Nashville. The prices are really good and the food is excellent quality! They give you a lot for the money. Their shining star has to be the burritos of course but the peach salsa is a close second. My only complaint is that there is just this one location. Sure wish I could go grab a bite today!

Finally made it into Baja burrito after having it on my must try list for way too long. Everything here is no frills with full on flavor. Serving up chipotle style burritos with much more depth of flavor this is an easy better option. The salsa bar is also a beautiful addition that is a must.

Spencer W.

Overall pretty tasty and I'd recommend. The reviews saying they have "huge portions" are exaggerating but they are also not small. Cool vibe to the place, and service was pretty smooth. It's chipotle style which I wasn't expecting but it was solid.

THIS is the best lunch spot in Nashville. It's very casual, walk up and order. The food is fresh, flavorful, and makes you feel good. Their salads are tasty and filling. Baja is a local gem! It hurts me to see people at the chipotle across the street!! Their is often a line around lunchtime, but it moves quickly so don't let that dissuade you.

OMG!!! Dude this was so good. Made me miss my home state of SoCal but also fulfilled my craving for real Mexican food. This little gem is tucked into a little building with so fresh toppings. I got the steak burrito and it was so good and chunky. There was a line the entire time but never lasted long because the service was very quick and friendly. Kinda like going to a chain restaurant where you order and follow your food and add on additional toppings. I love the flavor of my he hot sauces and the pineapple one was so refreshing. Since I now live in Florida i know there is no good Mexican Restaurants.

Baja is one of the go-to Mexican places for college students in the area. The food is delicious and cheap and the service is fast. It is set up "chipotle style" where you can choose what goes into your burrito/taco/etc. t This time I tried the taco plate which came with two tacos, rice and beans. I chose the guac taco which was amazing and the chicken taco which was a bit dry. The restaurant itself is kinda small and there is limited indoor and outdoor seating so not the best for large groups.

Best burritos in Nashville! I love the vibe of the decor when you enter the establishment. There's usually a line out the door around lunch time, but the workers are very efficient and keep the line moving. I highly recommend the barbacoa and tinga chicken for the burritos. They also have great queso and chips. Very reasonably priced especially for how huge the burritos are. Don't get overwhelmed trying to park. There is extra parking behind the building if you can't get a spot in the front. Highly recommend!

Whatever you're doing, just stop. Stop it! It doesn't matter if you're watching your kids, someone else's kids, working, relaxing, prepping dinner - stop what you're doing and grab a burrito from Baja Burrito. You'll thank me later and your taste buds will thank you for treating them right. Get ready to wait for about 20 to 30 minutes in line though. That's just how the cookie crumbles when it comes to good food.

My favorite taqueria in Nashville. Tried it for the first time today at lunch and came back with my partner for dinner. Had 5 different kinds tacos, you can't go wrong with whatever kind you get. Both times it was very busy and the line went super fast. The workers are all very nice. Check this place out. Queso rocks too.

This is a super neat little restaurant. Fast and friendly service. The prices are really great for being in Nashville. I have eaten here a couple of times and I'll definitely go back. The "hot" salsa isn't hot at all... but we figured it was to protect us Wedos!

THE best burrito in Nashville. This place has a certain charm to it (in addition to the delicious food) and I recommend to anyone in the area. Super flavorful burrito and the tortillas are made so well. The pineapple salsa is a great touch on your burrito or chips. The chicken and steak are always cooked really well and spiced perfectly. If you like a little kick get the jalapeño cream in your burrito. The queso is also phenomenal - however the one thing I won't recommend is the guac (not great). The service is friendly but be prepared to order once you get to the front of the line because it moves quickly and requires focus during busy times. It gets pretty crowded inside the restaurant seating-wise but the outdoor seating is cute if the weather permits. Also if you go during typical lunch/dinner hours there WILL be a wait - so don't go if you are in a huge rush. Solid prices as well - I think I'd spend about $14 for a steak burrito with chips and queso.

Food: Ordered chicken and fish tacos. They were okay. Nothing special unfortunately for me. The salsa is amazing though. The 5 stars come from the amazing brisket torta!!! Wow! I was not expecting it to be so good. It was even slightly cold, but the flavors were amazing! Super messy so don't expect to look good eating it, but delicious! Highly recommend!!!! Overall: Good experience. Smaller inside but cute esthetics. Patio is nice too but the lights don't work so wouldn't eat out there at night unfortunately. Staff is nice and accommodating.

Well, I sure am late to the game in discovering this gem. Delicious fresh food for reasonable prices, lovely staff, yummy horchata- can't get enough of this place!

Not to be like "I'm from California so I know good Mexican food" but like this is the only Mexican spot in Nashville that hits the spot when craving a Californian-Mexican meal. It's also the spot when I'm trying to save cash but still need to go out. You can eat cheap and come away feeling full and healthy. The food is fairly priced and they don't upcharge you a ridiculous amount to add guacamole to a meal. Also, veggie options? Their veggie burrito is my go to when I'm not eating meat.
