“ This is one of few places that serve very authentic Mexican food. Anything that you order is very delicious. If you want a good taste, I highly recommend to mix the red salsa with the green. I also recommend their fresh juices. ”
“ stopped in on a whim, as this is a 5 minute walk from me. ordered the chile relleno after it was recommended and it was delicious! the batter was so fresh and filling but not too greasy or heavy. the beans, rice, and ranchera sauce were yummy and full of flavor. the red salsa was spicy and flavorful as well. i love chile relleno and definitely recommend! ”
“ Authentic made mexican food the flour tortillas on a warm bed of rice beans that bring you back to grandma days when the tacos are all ready topped with loads of ambiance such as pico and carrots Salasa Fresca y jalapenos the more spice the marry. Great place to feel the taste of Mexico ... ”
“ I love the soup in here, it has flavor like no other latino place in LA. The only problem is it has no parking, but it wasn't hard to find one in the street. And I just have to be honest, it has so much flavor almost like home made food, so if you ever visit Santa Barbara do not skyp this place. ”
“ I hadn't been here in 25 years. The last time I was here, abuelita was still in the back making tortillas by hand. The handmade tortillas are still worth the price of admission—which is not that bad, these days. Such amazing food, and birria de chivo on the weekends. Hopefully I'll be back before another quarter-century has passed. ”
“ My first time at Taqueria El Bajio......Great quality fresh food and flavor, staff and REASONABLY priced!! I ordered the Ceviche of the day (fish or seafood marinated in lime juice) and two chicken tacos. My only suggestion, the Ceviche would be more reasonably fair at 5.50, not 8!! TOO small for 8:( ”
“ Had a bacon and chorizo breakfast burrito after a long night at a great wedding and it really hit the spot. My wife loved her huevos con Chile Verde ”
“ The most mouth watering, authentic Mexican Food ever with excellent flavors and healthy options. Fish tacos and chilaquiles are on point Also great aguas de sandia y melon (fresh watermelon & cantaloupe drinks) ... ”
