Tacos Baja

Located on historic route 66 in Glendora the white with blue trim caught my eye. It is counter service. Had a bevy of delicious tacos and a fish ceviche tostada. Coating on the fried seafood was a little dense, almost corndog-ish but flavorful. Grilled fish was light and flakey. The pastor and carnitas were really well seasoned and very deliciously flavorful. The ceviche was cut consistent in size so the distribution of fish and veggies worked really well. They do use what seemed to be fresh grilled tortillas and a lot of cabbage on all the tacos. I was not used to so much cabbage on meat tacos but it made them feel healthier and gave a freshness that usually is not achieved with the usual onions and cilantro fare. I should have asked for some limes and fresh salsa but I really didn't miss them. Tuesday meat tacos were on special and wed fish tacos are on special according to the back entrance reader board. Parking can be a little squiffy but there are a couple spots including ADA spots behind the building and possibly accepted in the adjacent buildings. There is indoor and outdoor seating though the outdoor seating is just off Route 66 which can be a little noisy. Overall, I would recommend and would probably eat a lot more tacos there again if I was in the area. The only real concern was the amount of meat on the tacos. It did seem a little sparse and kind of got lost in the cabbage.

The food was amazing. Happened to visit on the busiest day of the week. With that being said, we ordered ahead of time, after attempting to call about 10 times and getting a busy tone. I suggest just making the drive and ordering in person. Although we were given an estimated time of 10 minutes, our order wasn't made until we paid in person,so the wait ended up being more like 45 minutes. The food was excellent so I would definitely order again, just skip the call.

I use to think the only place I could get a delicious Baja style burrito was if I went to Chronic Tacos but boy was I wrong. Cabo tacos is a local spot (major plus) and has an amazing Cabo burrito! The burrito was evenly stuffed with all the good stuff and it was so big I ate half at lunch and the other half for dinner. Highly recommend you check this spot out. Shrimp is good quality and the food is delicious. Picture below is of the other half of my burrito. Sorry it’s not a beautifully posed foodie shot. I keep it real.

This is a great place for delicious food. There are a ton of great seafood options to choose from as well some other standard Mexican foods. Downside is that parking is tough and you are better off parking on the street than trying to fit into their parking lot. Be wary if you have a large vehicle because there is not much room to maneuver. There are two patio tables if you want to eat there, but currently most people just take out. The last time I was there, I had a grilled shrimp burrito, quesadilla and ceviche. The burrito was very good and filled me up pretty good. The quesadilla is a really good size as well. My wife had the ceviche and she said it was perfect. I will be adding it to my rotation of places to eat when I need something quick and delicious.

The fish tacos were so good, we went back for seconds. I’ve drove by here a few times and it has always stuck out for me. Well today I was craving fish tacos so we decided to try it. I got the combo #3 (1 shrimp taco and 1 fish taco plus rice and beans) the rice and bean are nothing special but still tasty. The green salsa is so good, I love spicy and it does not disappoint. Nothing wrong with the shrimp taco but the crispy fish taco was amazing, I am already excited to come back.
