Fantastic grilled fish tacos , and the beer-battered fish taco is great also. Hoping to try the beef and chicken tacos next time. Definitely a "must try" when you get the craving!

Just like everyone else, I loved the Baja Original . 2 authentic style tacos and a Mexican beer for $10... Yes, please!

Juan Gonzalez

The grilled fish taco is one the best I've had. Each of the ingredients is fresh and well matched to each dish. Definitely a great option in the area, if not NYC.

Xiomara Tamara

The chips and salsa are good! The fish taco Wednesday $2.49 deal is niche!

Silas Morrisey

Tacos are very good, traditional / best in NY / authentic , blah blah, but ask the staff for a cup of ice water. Stuff from the dispenser is nowhere near cold enough for a "drinkie" like myself.

Tif C.

Small place but the fish tacos are great. Definitely want to come back for their specials. Wednesday after 3 for $1.99 baja tacos and I think something Tuesday too!

Frank Rimalovski

Really like this tiny taqueria that only serves tacos and quesadillas . Tried baja fish , shrimp and steak tacos and all were excellent. I'll be back. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Shrimp tacos are fried, and the chorizo is pretty soft. They tasted great, but I wish they tortillas were made on site. All in all tasty, but there are better tacos in New York.

Best tortillas soup ever. And delicious baja tacos . There is a Taco and soup special...and if u check in 3 times there is a loyalty special.... A free fish Taco !!!

Jordan Frankfurt

After coming back a second time, I have to say that the black bean quesadilla with spicy salsa was one of the best things I've ever tasted.

Stanley Wong

GET. THE. SHRIMP . TACOS. Also, 1.99 Baja Original after 3/Wed and don't forget to claim your free taco after 3 checkins

Damian Bayona

Baka style tacos and Mexican beer . In and out in 15 minutes. Get the fried fish taco and something spicy to put on top.

Prad Nelluru

The spicy tortilla chips are a must-try. And if you want a full meal, get the quesadilla . The tacos are good, but small for the price.

Jerry C

Dorado Diablo hot sauce is extra hot! The bottle pours fast, so go easy when attempting to "shake it".

Alex Kesling

Try the grilled fish ; it's well balanced and has a nice grilled flavor. The Baja Original , however, is quite disappointing.

Ina Li

Best grilled chicken quesadilla I've ever had. Only 7 dollars don't miss it!

Russell Hirschorn

White Fish , Mahi Mahi , and Shrimp Tacos . Add some Ghost Chili hot sauce for a slap in the face #fooditude

Jesse Packer

Best fish tacos in the hood, reasonably priced, too. Make sure you check in for the 3x special. A little slow on service so give yourself a few minutes - it's worth it.

Erez Schnaittacher

This place is lovely. Real sweet owner, the baja original is light and crispy refreshing goodness. The chorizo , homemade , quesidilla is delicious.

Lizzy Saxe

All the tacos are excellent, the staff are friendly , and the containers are biodegradable. Great combination.

Alex

$2 fish tacos on Wednesdays. yummy hibiscus drink. all other tacos yummy & reasonably priced.

Serena T

On Wednesdays after 3 pm, the Baja taco is $1.99. Usually it's still under $3, and extremely delicious. They're not huge so I get 2:)

Jordan Frankfurt

Absolutely amazing. The corn is the best item on the menu, but the bean quesadilla is nearly as good.

Katie Larusse

Awesome mushroom taco . Shrimp and baja too. But DON'T get the corn . It's weird, very dry and there's no corn in it.

Ian Zabel

This place is a great alternative to Dos Toros. Tacos , quesadillas , Mexican Coke , and Jarritos. The steak and shrimp tacos are pretty delicious.

Stephanie

The best fish tacos I've come across thus far. Currently the bathroom code is 4-5-6-7.

Ari Greenberg

Tacos are stellar and well priced.

Caro Schiefer

Was ok, but I expected much more. Ingredients were fresh but meat was not so good. Shrimp taco wasn't ordered by me - but grilled fish - and I needed to eat in anyways as "the line is so long".

Paul Kardous

Go for the tacos and skip the quesadillas . Chorizo and Fish are both great.

Matt Hargrave

Best fish tacos I've found in the city ! They've got ghost pepper hot sauce that kicks your ass too.

Claire S.

Seafood special is a steal: 1 Baja taco , 1 grilled mahi mahi taco , and 1 corn on the cob for $8.95.

Julia Monti

Friendly service , great food with generous proportions. Quick and easy lunch .

Calvin Multanen

Great tacos . On the smaller side so order 2-3. The Baja fish taco is ????

Alana Cadiz

Pretty good tacos , perfect for a quick lunch . Free hibiscus drink when you check in on yelp

Bladimir Jimenez

Yummy! The Baja and Shrimp tacos were great. Sip a Hibiscus Agua Fresca for a refreshing treat.

Leanne Z

Love that they have compostable options and strive to conserve! Food was average but the guac was phenomenal!
