Bajas Catch Mexican Grill

Title: A Delightful Experience at Baja's Catch Fresh Grill! I recently enjoyed dining at Baja's Catch Fresh Grill, and I cannot recommend it enough! We decided to try their takeout, and it was an excellent choice. We started with the Salmon Tacos, which were nothing short of amazing! The perfectly grilled salmon paired beautifully with the fresh cabbage, cilantro, and onions, drizzled with their signature Baja cream sauce. Each bite was bursting with flavor. Next, we enjoyed the hand-rolled tacos, which were delicious. We opted for a mix of shredded beef and shredded chicken, both of which were fantastic! They came with fresh guacamole and sour cream, making the meal even more indulgent. Finally, we tried the Baja Fish Tacos, featuring battered swai fish cooked to perfection. The combination of the fish with the crunchy cabbage, cilantro, and onions, topped with more Baja cream sauce, was simply irresistible. The best part was the service! Our order was prepared quickly and completely accurately, and the prices were very affordable. If you're looking for fresh, flavorful seafood and a delightful dining experience, Baja's Catch Fresh Grill is definitely the place to go. I can't wait to visit again soon!

This place is a hidden gem. My husband and I discovered it not too long ago and have been back since. Food has always been amazing (so far we’ve gotten a couple different burritos and some fish/shrimp tacos). Above all though, service and the way the customers are treated by staff has always been exceptional since we’ve been there. Thank you guys for being here and open, also whatever you guys are doing is amazing! Update July 2025: This has easily become mine and my husbands favorite place to stop and get food. This place deserves way more than it seems to get. We cannot be happier with our experiences coming here and the friendliness given to us from the staff. Always so welcoming and accommodating. We have tried more menu options since coming here and continued to be pleased with the quality. Couldn’t be happier that we found a small business not to far from us to keep supporting. Side note, vibes inside are always good including the music :)

Wanted something cool and refreshing in this 100 degree weather so the shrimp cocktail was delicous and the nice acc room was really great aswell with cold lemonade with chia seeds hit the spot

Soooo yum! Had the grilled Baja fish tacos and the California burrito. Was barely able to take a picture before everything was devoured. Delish! Will be back again!

This place is the BEST place in town. Authentic Mexican taste! I love the Surf and Turf burritos! Family friendly atmosphere and great prices. Come on down and try for yourself. Coming from the Los Angeles area, this place reminds me of home.

First visit. Highly recommend. Delicious salmon tacos and in my opinion the best ceviche ever - its seafood and veggies fresh and the combination very flavorful. Even the black beans were surprisingly tasty. The service was excellent and friendly. Enjoyed the in-house made drink choices. We will be back soon.

We were unlucky to visit when they had sold out of fish and soup. Still, the food was decent, though the portions were on the smaller side.

I can't recommend this place enough. This has easily become one of my go-to places. (Despite having other taco shops closer to me, it's usually worth making the 20 min drive) The prices are decent and everything I've had so far has been delicious. I usually order some variation of the Baja battered fish (add that chipotle crema), pork al pastor and pulpo (but they've unfortunately since discontinued the octopus). Shout-out to Victor for recommending the best loaded fries I've ever had. I usually order it with pork al pastor (however I know most people order it with carne asada - probably can't go wrong with that if that's more your preference).

Amazing!!!! And soooo friendly, will be back. Got the loaded nachos with Birria and they did not disappoint :)

Coming from a Mexican house hold my standards for flavor are pretty high, so I will say the food was absolutely delicious and authentically prepared. The atmosphere was fresh and inviting, and our meals came out quickly and full of flavor. Victor, the owner, personally took care of us and made our first visit feel genuinely welcoming. We'll definitely be coming back the next time we're in town!

This place has always been a go to for me since they opened. The food is great every time and so is the service. Mucho respecto to Rafa and Victor and Christina and everyone else. Definitely a must try if you're in the mood for fish tacos or Mexican food in general

We stopped in our way back to OC after our road trip! Best decision ever! I had a battered fish taco and the fish ceviche pure perfection! Staff at register was super kind and attentive! Not super close but will be sure to return!

This place is amazing ! The customer service is superb. Every time I've been in here they do a phenomenal job at making sure we're taken care of and the food is delicious. We've tried several things on the menu and every one has honestly, for someone as picky as me...has impressed me. The quality and freshness of the fish , shrimp and aguas frescas have been outstanding. They have a wide variety of salsas and so many options for everyone in the family on the menu. I will definitely be coming back and making this our weekly family dinner spot. It's that good. If you're looking for good food and great service, this is the place . Enjoy!

i finally found my go to birria and taco place. service was excellent super nice and helpful with my many questions. their tortillas taste homemade and their chips and guac are also perfect. i tried their quesabirilla and surf & turf tacos. the consommé was bomb. the shrimp on the surf and turf tasted fresh off the grill. makes me want to go back and try their shrimp tacos

20/10 amazing food better service but oh my god everything was amazing. Victor was the nicest guy I've ever met. You can truly tell the hard work and dedication that goes into the food. I haven't had authentic delicious Mexican food like this in so long. Ambiance is chill the seating area is super clean and well kept. I'm so sad I'm not from here or else I'd be here at least weekly. The cheese was high quality the tortillas taste home made I'm just in awe of this place. Thank you for your hospitality and the BEST HABANERO SALSA MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE EVER HAD. we would buy bottles if we could!!! Thank you!!!!

This place is awesome, the food is amazing and the price is even better. The employees are always on point and I cannot rave enough about the service everytine we go. Definitely a place to try the Baja Fish tacos! 5 stars!!!!! Victor the owner is always so kind and makes sure to talk to all his customers.

Restaurant is can. Cashier was friendly Salmon Taco was perfect Carne asada tacos were filled with carne asada and tasty Bacon avocado and cheese burrito was a hit with the 12yr old Grilled chicken burrito was good and tender. Chicken was not dry Salsas we're great. Mild, spicy, Verde Meals for 4 with 3 study drinks and a michelada was $60 Very good deal

I may have just found my new favorite burrito spot in Temecula! I was in town with one of my buddies for a material run at the hardware store and we decided to pop in for a bite to eat before driving up the mountain and getting to work. After perusing the menu's abundance of options, I went for the Maji burrito with an add-in of fries (I am a SUCKER for a Cali-style burrito) and my friend went with the surf and turf burrito. We took a seat in the spacious dining area and awaited our orders, as we sipped on our large agua de jamaica. Within a few minutes, our burritos were delivered to our table along with three squeeze bottles of housemade salsa. TIME TO DIG IN. Firstly, the burritos we had were BIG - which is what fellow-burrito enthusiasts love to see! CHOW TIME! The innards of the burrito were absolutely delicious! The fish was hot and perfectly grilled, the beans were tasty, the fries added a perfect crunch, and the pico was fresh. All the above in combination with the red salsa was SO GOSH-DIGGITY-DARN-GOOD. The lovely flavors were the sole reason why I scarfed down the entire burrito, instead of saving half of it for later. The refreshing agua de jamaica made for the perfect drink companion and is something that I find myself thinking about often, when I'm in need for a thirst-quenching beverage. I will definitely be coming back to Bajas Catch Fresh Grill to try out more menu items and experience more of the flavors they have to offer. I give this spot a 10/10 recommendation for both locals and visitors, alike!

The tacos were absolutely amazing! full of flavor, fresh ingredients, and cooked to perfection. The service was just as great friendly, fast, and attentive from start to finish. Definitely one of the best taco spots I've been to. Can't wait to come back!

Best carne asada & baja fish tacos in the area! The guy at the counter is always kind and helpful when ordering. Definitely would recommend this place to others who are used to San Diego quality Mexican food!

The shrimp tacos and salmon tacos are delicious!! I will definitely be back just not as often as I would like due to the pricing. The tacos are about $5 each and they're a bit small. They're street taco size. Wish they were a bit more affordable.

Did not send my shrimp ceviche on my delivery order and didn't even offer to bring it back to me They said come in another day and get it WTF Order #58 on Sunday 7/13 5:30pm not too professional response when we had a family member not get nothing to eat amazing never again , beware delivery orders double check accuracy, it's a Mexican restaurant and got no salsas for none of the tacos ordered smh

Best service I have ever had. The food was amazing. Will stop by again owner is very nice made a custom meal for my kids

This is my family's go-to for tacos, quesadillas, torta, and fresh horchata! Food is delicious. I love the tropical dining vibe. Friendly service.

The owner here is one of the most personable people you'll ever meet--he truly cares about his customers and makes you feel like family the moment you walk in. On top of that, the food is absolutely incredible--hands down the best Mexican food in Temecula. Every dish is full of flavor, fresh, and authentic, and the prices are more than fair. It's rare to find a place that combines amazing food, great value, and such genuine hospitality. Do yourself a favor and come support this small local business--you won't regret it! Thank you, Victor, for making our first experience a memorable one. We will definitely be coming back!

The surf and turf taco (w/o onions) is delicious! I crave it. Friendly service, laidback setting with counter service, great fresh food and reasonable prices. This place is a hidden gem in Temecula.

Saturday, May 3rd, we were visiting the Temecula area and were craving Mexican food. My husband really wanted mariscos so we searched on Yelp and found Baja Catch. We saw that it had excellent reviews. The moment we arrived our group was warmly greeted by Victor. Since it was our first time at the restaurant we weren't sure which menu items were worth a try. Victor guided us in making delicious selections for food that evening. We were not disappointed. Rafa and Francisco did an amazing job preparing our food. Everything was cooked fresh to order and you could definitely taste the quality in the food. The food was bursting with flavor and was very satisfying. The salsas provided were delicious and I'm sure we used half the bottle Throughout our dining experience both Victor and Jenny came to check on us and see if we needed anything. They really treated us like family and went above and beyond in making sure our dining experience was nothing short of phenomenal. I highly recommend Baja Catch! They'll take great care of you when you're there and the food is worth the price! We will definitely be back when we visit the Temecula area again. Thank you Victor, Jenny, Rafa, and Francisco for your superb customer service!

Our favorite local, family owned spot for fresh and delicious food! We always have such welcoming service and the food is on point. Our typical order is the grilled chicken burrito and the battered Baja fish tacos, I highly recommend both. I also love the option for black beans! Really good food!

I highly recommend trying this place out! My husband tried the grilled shrimp taco, battered fish taco, carne asada taco, and the carne asada quesadilla--everything was absolutely delicious. The homemade chips were perfectly crispy and paired beautifully with the five different homemade salsas that were also amazing. To top it off, the homemade agua fresca was super refreshing. I definitely recommend it! Beyond the amazing food, the service was outstanding. Victor was so welcoming and attentive--he truly went above and beyond to make us feel like family. His hospitality made the experience even better! The place itself has a relaxed, casual atmosphere. They played good music! We will definitely be going back...and soon! This place is an absolute gem!

This place has fantastic birria quesadillas at reasonable prices. They also have other great food such as fried shrimp and shrimp quesadillas.

Great food! Quesabirra tacos and Baja fish tacos were really good. Service was friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend

Good:food Bad:prices Just a little place. Friendly service but not even a deal on taco Tuesday, therefore I won't be back.

Found a gem today! Cold, rainy day always calls for hot soup. This spot certainly delivered that and more. I got the mixed seafood soup, along with a side of rice and beans, and diabla sauce which I put a dollop of in the soup broth. That broth is obviously made with love because it tasted so cozy, homey, and packed with flavor. The soup had chunks of salmon, mahi mahi, swai, and shrimp. The rice and beans were flavorful and hit the spot also. I am overjoyed at finally trying this place, and I cannot wait to go back and try other items.

Amazing food. Even better service. The owner is so kind and hospitable. Could not recommend enough!!!!!!

I ordered two chicken burritos which were delicious. The kitchen was prompt and the service friendly.

Stopped by while in town and SO GLAD we did! The food is delicious one of the best burritos I've had with a variety of salsas to choose from. Customer service was amazing! Will definitely be coming back as an after winery MUST!

The service was great and the food was delicious! We tried carna asada tacos and mahi mahi tacos and then tried Baja tacos! The Baja tacos were the best! We will be coming back to this place!

Crunchy Tacos and Birria Quesadillas were so delicious. Victor the owner I had great customer service. My family and I visited this place twice in one week. Thanks for taking such good care of us Victor!! We'll definitely be back.

This place is hands down the best spot in town for fresh fish tacos and all around never disappoints from ambiance, service, food quality and pricing! They have great beer choices as well & I always enjoy sitting on their patio in the evening! Definitely gotta check them out, I highly recommend every time I come, I am highly satisfied with the customer service, everyone who works here is very friendly and kind!

Great food, amazing customer service & ridiculously good prices. As a lover of traditional Baja fish tacos this is the first place (& I've searched far & wide) that I've found with the flavor of Baja & the pricing to match! Victor was so friendly & accommodating, it's rare these days to see that kind of genuine customer service. Shout out to Brito (the man behind the grill) everything you do is magic! *Fish tacos are perfectly light & crispy, perfect ratios of crema, fish, cabbage & onions. *Queso Birria tacos are packed to the brim & perfectly flavored. Priced incredibly with no secret up charge for consommé *Birria quesadilla is a monster size, full of flavor & yet again crazy cheap for such amazing quality Can't wait to return!

This place is aaahmazing! Clean, nice interior. Staff was very pleasant. I ordered the #2 Combo 2TJ tacos with rice and beans... it was delicious! I love that their sauces and beans are not salty. The tacos were very refreshing! I already bookmark this as one of our stops on our way hone

Food was ok not the best Tables need to be little more clean Restrooms really need some attention 4 year old daughter almost threw up as soon as we walked in to just wash hands

Guys this place is so good! My boyfriend and I walked in on my lunch break and we were warmly greeted. For it being our first time, the cashier (who I am assuming was a manager) thoroughly described the menu and was so accommodating to what we wanted! I got a grilled shrimp and a chicken pastor taco. He got 2 quesabirria tacos. We also got guacamole, rice, and beans on the side. When he sat down he brought out three salsas and described his favorites etc. checked up on multiple times to make sure everything was tasting good! We mentioned we wanted to try the carne asada next time and to our surprise he came out a with a piece for us a try and offered us drinks on the house. It was truly one of the best service experiences I've had in a minute. I wish I caught his name for this review, but we will so be back. Thanks again for everything!

Run, do not walk, to Temecula Baja's Catch Fresh Grill! Victor & his team are delivering a fresh, flavorful, whole foods menu with something for everyone. Craving mahi fish tacos with that stand-in-line at the best food truck vibe? Yup! Want authentic Birria with consumé? Yup! Crazy good fresh guac, salsa, site-crafted sauces, beer, and incredible service, squeaky clean tables, and all served with a grateful smile and chill music. We felt like we were on a mini getaway and it's just Friday night. Add this place to your regular stops!

I came here to get food for my family before staying at Pechanga nearby. They have a large menu, I chose to get two fish taco combos ($10.95) for my family. I got two fish tacos which came with rice and black beans as sides. I also got their shrimp tacos to try alongside them. Both my mom and aunt liked the place. The fish tacos were crispy and the portions was a good size. The chopped cabbage and cilantro piled on top the tacos with the white dressing sauce was filling. The shrimp tacos were large and crispy. I would go back if I near Pechanga. The staff is nice.

Wow!!! Visiting area and looking for dinner. Great food. Mason was wonderful. Come here, you will be happy!

I'll be honest, I haven't tried any other baja style seafood because this place is so good that I don't wanna try another spot, lol. So far I've tried the battered fish tacos, battered shrimp tacos, octopus taco, and my favorite item so far has been the battered shrimp burrito. It usually comes with grilled shrimp, but I requested it to be battered shrimp, and holy hell, I think that's gonna be my new go-to item, I don't wanna try anything else. Only been here twice, but both times customer service has been above average by different employees on the register. Only minor setback is that food can take a while to be ready, but that's not a huge deal breaker for me. Ambiance is casual and laid-back, the inside of the restaurant is reminiscent of baja and is definitely giving off those vibes. Will definitely keep coming back here for my baja style seafood cravings. P.S. The light colored green sauce in the bottle is fire, both literally and figuratively, so use sparingly if your heat tolerance is on the lower side.

Loved the food and customer service. Definitely will be ordering again when I'm in town again.

Outside- in a busy strip mall, plenty of parking Atmosphere- quick eat sort of place. Can grab a quick bite with a small family, co-workers for lunch, or a small group of friends on the way or coming back from something (shopping, errands, athletic activity, etc). Or a place to have drinks and a festive meal. Order at the register and someone will bring your food out to the table. They will also clear it off. Seems to be a good place for takeout orders. Inside- multiple tables of 4 seats. Mix of high top and regular 4 seat tables. Clean. Drinks- mix of sodas, few beer selections, some traditional Mexican beverages. Food- we had the fish tacos, chicken pastor tacos, and street corn. The tacos are street taco style and size. The street corn is well done but basic. The salsas that come out to your table are mild, green, and spicy. They're fine enough. I should have tried their premium sauces- they sound amazing. For what this place is and what I'm comparing it to, I'd definitely come back again when I'm the area.

I always get the chicken tacos. They are the best taco in town. Serving size is filling. Ambience is inviting. Service is great!!! Thank you

This is as close to authentic Mexican food you will get in Temecula. I loved the flavor and spice of the chips and salsa and the fish tacos were amazing!

I have been coming to this place for many years and it has been such an amazing place. I have ordered serval different items on the menu and they did not disappoint. Tonight I came in and ordered the shrimp flautas they had so much flavor. Victor helped us tonight he had soo much energy and helped us choose this delicious meal! The atmosphere is chill and very welcoming. I come here often they have a variety of options! I would definitely recommend!

This is the 3rd time I've been to Bajas Catch. First time was for grilled calamari tacos and the last two times I had the Tres Ceviche (octopus, shrimp and fish). They make a really balanced ceviche and I've been happy each time. They also give large enough servings that I take half home and enjoy it for dinner! On this last trip, my wife came with me and she had the grilled shrimp tacos and really enjoyed them. It great that they offer either beer-battered or grilled shrimp for their tacos. Looking forward to coming back soon!

A great restaurant with a wide selection of foods and such friendly staff! Def recommend giving this place a try.

Fish and chips Fish pieces small take the batter off and not only partially raw but less than half the size. Being from out of town was depending on the ratings, very disappointing Service ok but good thing they get tip upfront cause the food deserves no tip whatsoever. Ambience non-existence terrible music front of restaurant 90s hip hop but back kitchen area drowned out and made a terrible mix with louder Mexican music would recommend going elsewhere

First I have to point out the most important thing Christina the cashier provided my wife and I exceptional service. Christina explained the menu to us in detail. When asked what does she recommend or what's most commonly purchased all her suggestions sounded scrumptious. Now let's talk about the food. The chia lemonade was super refreshing one of the best I've ever had. I got the Birria taco with consommé and 2 beer battered fish tacos. My wife got a taco plate with a burrito or something like that. She loved the beans and rice. Her being Hispanic and loving the beans and rice should tell you something. A review without pictures isn't really a review so check it the photos below. Lastly, the place was super clean and the cooks were awesome. The music that was playing wasn't too loud nor quiet. The set up is very welcoming kid friendly. Parking was super convenient in a nice shopping center. I will definitely be returning back and recommending all my friends and family to try this place if ever in Temecula.

The food was good and the service as well the owner was really friendly I would recommend coming here again I've been here 2 times
