Baja's Sushi - Salinas Ca

This place is a joke .... Went to try it out ,we went at 1pm on a Saturday they weren't even open yet .. we walked up to the patio and saw that it was FILTHY , dirty tables and garbage on the floor ,not even going back to give a second chance .

Overpriced, bland, nothing like the pictures on their IG account, no longer serving sushi, and hours are off. Their busiest days are on taco Tuesdays, that says a lot about this place. You have to have an instagram account to check out their menu. Not even that, you have to have service on your phone to check their menu. The tacos aren 't even 1 dollar, only the street tacos are a dollar...on taco tuesday. The taquero couldn 't be bothered to serve the plate with one of each, we were told one plate had to have 3 tacos with only one type of meat. Basically the taquero didn 't want to work that day. I missed the chance of going when it opened about a year ago, I 'm pretty sure it would have been a totally different experience since everyone in Salinas were hyping this place up. At the end of the service, the guy in charge was pretty much asking for a tip... reminded me of Chinese restaurants. We ended up at about 100 dollars for 16 tacos! The drinks are basic and overpriced. The only magical part about the food was the fried tortilla and the added cheese (this is what made it expensive). The birria is whatever, there are hole in the wall places in Salinas that do a good job with cooking birria, and they actually use goat meat! There are plenty of other good taquerias in Salinas..I mean it is Salinas after all. So much for trying to support local businesses.

I respect the hustle but the food is nothing like the pictures. No taste to the food, poorly prepared. Sorry but not good

Here’s the thing about Baja’s. I have gotten great sushi from them before. Love the poke bowls and the zucchini noodle option. I’ve tried going back several times and there’s always an issue—out of rice, out of fish, closed during normal business hours, etc. Overall, I’m very disappointed. It’s been a long time.If you want poke bowls in Salinas, go to Sushi Hut.

Good Birria great tasting caldo tender meat bomb tacos! Delicious drink left a happy customer will be back
