Baja Cali Fish & Tacos (Pasadena-Lake Ave)

The super burrito is SUPER BIG! It’s longer than my arm! I had 1/3 and was full, tasted great too! Many clients and friendly stuff.

Went on a Tuesday to grab their 5 fish tacos for $5.55. It did not disappoint. The fish tacos were tasty and well seasoned. They could've used more coleslaw and tomatoes though. The rice was also good but a bit too greasy. The beans were okay, nothing special. The red sauce they give you is pretty good and the green sauce seems more spicy than the red one. Will be coming back. They have a Parking lot and the service was fast.

The food was hot and fresh. I did a phone order, which was good, because there was a line after I arrived. They were operating a limited menu, so no vegetarian optiobs when I went. I ordered four fish tacos and the cucumber lime drink. My only issue was there were no limes included with the fish tacos. Thankfully I had some limes at home. FYI check your take-out order before you leave. The juice was a perfect blend of sweet and tart. Overall a good experience and I will be back.

Now open for business on Lake Avenue! Baja Cali Fish & Tacos is my wife's favorite inexpensive fish taco chain. It is also a go to spot for many of our friends because of the daily specials. We were excited to get tacos on the grand opening day for this new location right here in our neighborhood.

Best tacos and service! Gabi is absolutely Amazing 👏🏻 We came here a year ago after stagecoach and the tacos were so good we had to come back this year... We stopped in on our way to stagecoach thur evening and then came by on our way back home today (we live for good tacos) worth the 6.5 hour drive from home! Gabi was working again and she remembered our order and is just a super kind and friendly person. Definitely looking forward to our trip down next year!

There new Breakfast Burritos are really good, like homemade style and they are pretty big too. And really good customer service.

Delicious fish tacos 🌮. I love the way they make them. The strawberry juice was tasty. They have no restrooms here.

Great place for lunch. If you only have .30,min, this is your place. You are in and out within minutes. The food is fresh and affordable compared to locations around it. I strongly recommend this place.

Baja Cali Fish & Tacos is a gem! The flavors are absolutely divine, with fresh ingredients and perfect seasoning in every bite. The staff's treatment is warm and attentive, making you feel right at home. The ambiance and variety of options are impressive. Highly recommend this spot for an unforgettable dining experience! Let me know if you'd like any tweaks! Maribel at the register greeted me with this huge, genuine smile that instantly upgraded the vibe. And the real stars? Osmondo and Jose back in the kitchen, flipping fish like wizards-everything came out scalding hot, Im coming three times a week and they also have the best Horchata that I've ever tasted

Always great food to enjoy here. Good service as well. everything is always well prepared

I had been craving fish tacos and found this place. I was not disappointed. Very fresh, hot, and tasty. It was taco Tuesday and the fish tacos were only $2 each. I'll definitely be back. Liz Milner

I love this place.For the price you cant go wrong,tacos burritos etc but their new mole bowl is the bomb Check them out

The assistant manager is a really cool guy. It was only him and a cutie working the front--providing quality, clean food at reasonable prices.

Love Baja Cali , come here every Tuesday! John and Junie are the best! The chips and guac are so yummy and they fry them fresh to order!

Took care of me great spot . Camille wqs awesome and did a great job Daily specials are good yoo

Absolutely delicious and for $2 each. Pickled red onions and green salsa was very good addition. Personal favorite, sturdy actually useful napkins!

Solid Baja style shrimp and fish taco spot. Great daily deals to load up on some tacos. Came here on a Thursday and got the 8 shrimp tacos deal for $15. Also ordered the shrimp cocktail which was a refreshing addition to my meal. Service was great, food was made to order and quick. Walk in spot only no drive thru, with good seating inside and some table outside. Not a lot of fish taco spots in the area, and this place is pretty good imo.

Disappointed with today's take out order from this location. I was surprised to see how small their birria tacos were for $3.99 each. They also didn't include any red salsa and hardly any onion and cilantro. Also ordered their shrimp caldo, the broth didn't have any flavor.

First time here. What a treat! Had the poblano bowl excellent! Located right on lake in the corner of Villa and lake in Pasadena. Enjoy!

Food is good and the tacos are big (not the tiny street taco size). Go on Tuesdays for their fish taco deal (as of today it's $1.59 per fish taco or 5 for $7.50). Service was good and quick. There's seating inside and outside. There's a parking lot right in front of it.

Love it here! So close to home and the food is always . We always get the Baja Cali burrito . Today I'm trying the garlic shrimp bowl. Camilla is the sweetest. Always helps with a smile.

Excellent service from Gaby the cashier and very tasty delicious food at a good price! Everything is cooked fresh

The best service , the best fish and shrimp tacos ! Daniel and juni! And the whole staff

I love this place! The food at Baja Cali Fish & Tacos is so good, but what really made my visit amazing was the service. There's this employee named Ismael with curly hair and the softest voice . he was super kind, really attentive, and just overall made the experience so much better. He made sure we had everything we needed and was so helpful the whole time. Definitely coming back! Highly recommend this spot! Great food and even better service

Love the food and the agua Frescas, Juni has great energy and great service. Excited to try the new bowls

Excellent music, excellent service from Daniel & Juni. Don't miss the fish taco Tuesday! A taco deal that they keep alive where most places stopped.

Good food, good prices, great staff (thanks to Camille and the other staff). Always happy when I leave.

what a great place they're always helpful always showing us the deals. We love it. Been here many times you can't find a better spot.

Found this place by my job and its a must go in the area. John brings great vibes there and can't go wrong with those agua frescas. I recommend this gem

Great spot for lunch in Pasadena! I personally love the surf and turf burrito and their cucumber agua Fresca. Service is friendly! John, Gabby and Osvaldo were very kind & prepped my order quickly.

Tacos are amazing! Good quality, great flavor, friendly staff! Try the surf and turf or the crisp fish tacos.

Love this place. Esp on Tues they have deals on fish tacos. Their service is good. If you want condiments, lime, or salsas, just ask. :-) Highly recommend this place!

Had a hankering for some fish tacos and ordered from Baja Cali Fish and Tacos. About 7 locations in SoCal and most in SGV. The Surf and Turf bowl had shrimp and carne asada over rice and beans with avocados, very good. The shrimp taco kept its crunch, very good especially with the green salsa. The fish taco platter was also very tasty plus fries and a drink. The queso birria was great, crunchy and really tender filling. Overall, very good and will definitely order from again.

My favorite Agua Fresca ever! Always good on a hot day. Good daily deals with fresh food

Camille is so sweet! First time ordering here and felt so welcomed! Food is great and very clean! So glad it's local!

This place is amazing. I come here almost every week and both the cook and the cashier, Camille are extremely kind and welcoming. They both are patient and always give us great suggestions on what to get. The food is delicious, we love the fish tacos, bowls, and burritos. If we ever have any requests or adjustments they always help us with it! The food always comes out quick and hot and they are always the perfect portions. We also love the seating area, comfortable chairs, nice tables, and always great music playing. The place is also always kept clean. There is a good amount of parking also.

This location never disappoints. Great, friendly, happy employees. Online orders are always on time. Food is always great and the hot sauce a-plenty! Love the new churro fries!

I loved the service at this location and the experience ordering, Camile was helpful and really pleasant and I would definitely come back!

Typical fast food joint. They do have some unique Mexican hybrid options like Al pastor chicken or Al pastor fish. The people at the cashier were fair with service, nothing spectacular but it is fast food. The chicken tacos may be of super value but it did get my stomach a little upset probably due to the amount of grease these items are soaking in. The place is clean and located across from The Hat. They do close early which doesn't make it a good late-night option.

Juni was really nice and helpful. He greeted us w a smile and made sure everything was in the bag before we had even gotten a chance to ask. I recommend going on Taco Tuesday and getting some fish tacos. Love it here!

Juny served me and he's great. The deals is good and drink is nice. Great choice for a quick dinner

This place is amazing we love the food! Juni was very kind and funny service was amazing. absolutely loved it!

Fish and shrimp tacos are good and fresh. Everyone that works here is very friendly especially Camilla always with a smile.

Great customer service from JOSE Food came out fast . & They brought it to our table . nice & Hot . just the way i ordered never no mistakes here . they always get my order right . they always repeat my order back to me to make Sure it's correct . Very clean Restaurant . and very friendly .

Delicious fish taco combo meals. I also like the potato tacos. Worth coming over from eagle rock for sure

Fish tacos were good and consistent with other location that we normally go to. They were out of the shrimp cocktail so we got the mixed ceviche. For the price, it was rather small and mostly had imitation crab. I would not recommend. Parking lot can get busy because it is shared with another business.

Elsa's customer service was exquisite. Food is amazing. BOGO Surf and Turf burritos for the win.

I really enjoy the fish tacos here, and buy them regularly. But, when I want to splurge a little, I get the ceviche tostada and/or the shrimp cocktail. The tostada is piled high with tasty ceviche; I usually use a knife and fork instead of trying to pick it up. And the cocktail is more like gazpacho that is full of good sized (two-bite) shrimp. Eat it with a spoon to get all the goodness! And this from a person who, as a rule, does not like anything with tomatoes in it.

Came here after a quick stop over at the Villa Verde Community Center down the street to grab a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. I opted for a shrimp burrito which is one of my go to favorites on the road and I gotta say it was excellent. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the lady who helped me at the register was extremely polite and courteous. I will definitely be coming back!

Food was good and fast. Service by Juni was ecen better. Their burritos are huge and so good. We will definitely comeback next time we're on this side of town.

I love Baja Cali Fish Tacos. They are the best in town and a short walk from my work for lunch. Keep doing what you're doing. Thank you for helping out people affected by the Eaton Canyon Fire.

The go to spot for tacos with the coworkers! Juni at the cash register is super sweet and friendly. Always makes our group feel welcomed. Tacos are 10/10!!

Food fresh & hot! Great service! Love coming here for fish sandwiches and fish tacos on Tuesday.

Great tacos and great customer service by Juni and Chuy! Will definitely come back again for lunch!

I like the food here. It is such a shame that there is no competition that offers Taco Tuesday specials in the Pasadena area. On two separate occasions, I tried to use their website to order food. The website times you out and still charges you. On a recent visit in October, I thought that the first time was just an anomaly. I utilized it again and again it did not work. This time, I went into the store and spoke to the Wednesday from the Addams Family worker who was running the cash register. She admitted that she saw my online order and just ignored it. WHO DOES THIS?! I guess in the future, I would have to adjust to come into the restaurant before the lunch rush!

This place is the best kept secret in Altadena. I've passed by this place several times and I walked in. Ate here for the first time and have come back many times just within the last couple weeks. The food is amazing. Customer service is awesome. Spoke to a friendly staff member named John. The guy is cool as ever, very personable. I'm very impressed by the staff and happy to eat here every day if I could. Highly recommend for everyone to come check out the food! PS shout out to Gabby thank you for the amazing customer service and hooking up the refill for Horchata. Bachata looks a bit diluted so Gabby gave me a completely new cup refill. Such an amazing customer service thank you crew

Baja Cali came to my neighborhood and I'm delighted at the convenience. Today marks my second visit since opening, mainly because I can never get there before closing. Anyhow, I of course ordered the fish tacos and tried the birria Dorados. Both were really good! As you probably already know, Baja has these amazing Chili's that are usually self serve at their other locations. I asked the gentleman handing out orders for a few. I then watched him as he bare fisted the Chili's and put some in a bag for me. He then looked up at me to see if I saw what he did. Wait, what!! I am completely and utterly disgusted. Not only are we full throttle in covid times, there's also a ton of other stuff going around. Not to mention everything that he's touched before clawing the chilis. I'm sure he wiped his chili hand on his pants afterwards. I got to the car and just couldn't do it, so I went back in and asked the guy at the cash register for more. He used a baggie to grab them, which was a much better alternative to his coworkers bare hand.
