Review Baja Beach Cafe - San Diego

Great atmosphere, service, and margaritas. Good music, view of the ocean, and spot for people watching right along the boardwalk. It’s casual dining with good portions on the food. The salsa, guacamole, beef tacos are pretty good. Mac and cheese wasn’t my favorite but had good flavor.

Place is fantastic having fun (& mega margs) but 4 stars because the bathroom lines are just impossible to handle. Finger food was nice, same with the service. I

Nice little spot open late and walking distance from our hotel. I actually ate there 2 night in a row. The bar tenders were great both friendly and attentive. The food was good I had the lobster rolled tocas and the chicken and beans rolls. And my wife enjoyed the dessert.

I really enjoyed my breakfast. Hands down one of the best salsas that I didn't make. Delicious fruit medley pairing with crispy hash browns and a prime rib omelet. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food, except for the chicken sausage, but that was personal preference. Loved the opportunity to eat outside and watch the ocean and the passers-bys.

Prime time beachfront location and an incredible breakfast burrito. Service was quick and pleasant. If you like people watching, the outdoor tables are extremely entertaining :)

Giant drinks. I got a giant mango and strawberry mixed froze margarita and the nachos. My server Kelsey was amazing, nice, prompt, and welcoming The biggest highlight for me as a single woman: the men who walk past the restaurant or grab food there are amazingly hot.

First time visiting. It was not that busy, usually it is pretty crowded. We were able to get seated immediately. The hostess was very nice and polite. Got a seat facing the ocean. The waitress came pretty quick and took our order. We ordered 12 oz margaritas ( melon and watermelon), and Carne Asada fries. The drinks came pretty quick, food came just a little after. The service was great, our waitress made sure we are taken care of, was checking on us :) The food was good so was the drinks. They also had options of 32 oz margaritas, but 12 oz was plenty. Maybe next time we will try a 32 oz to share :) If not too busy we will definitely be back. Thank you :)

The freshest food I've ever eaten. Beautiful view too! Definitely recommend this place❤️😊

My family ate here while visiting the beach. Everything was yummy and our server was on point…she was attentive and had great recommendations (Kelsey). Great view of the ocean. Order the carne asada fries.

My husband and I love this spot. Not only does it have the greatest ocean view since it is right on the boardwalk, but the food is delicious, the staff is friendly and the drinks are strong, delicious and reasonably priced. The best things we had to eat there were the lobster taquitos, and the calamari wrap but we went 3 times in 4 days and were never disappointed. Absolutely try one of their many margaritas… They are incredible.

Lobster taquitos were so delicious! Spent a beautiful Friday afternoon on the patio. Will be back next time I'm in town!

Place was busy but the service was fast. Prices were reasonable, especially the happy hour specials. Great environment. Cool place to watch the sunset over the water too.

Great little spot to come for a drink. For me, the service and location is what earned this good review. It’s right on the boardwalk by the beach. Perfect spot. I believe my server was Brooke. She was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She made conversation and checked in on my table frequently.

4.5 stars. Great environment, service was good and food came out at a relatively reasonable time. It was very filling and good for brunch and to enjoy the sunny San Diego weather. However, I do wish they have a little more variety to their brunch menu that’s not eggs. The food is flavorful and overall very yummy!

Baja Beach Cafe, 701 Thomas Ave San Diego, CA Our waiter Dupree, was very good with recommendations. Tawny was his back up while he was on break. We had the Lobster Taquitos and Grilled Calamari Steaks for starters. Absolutely amazing, loved the calamari steak the best. My daughter had the Lobster Corn Chowder Bowl. She said it was amazing!! My son in law and I both had the Surf & Turf Tacos. You can’t go wrong with these either!! Plenty of shrimp and tender steak. Both Dupree and Tawny were excellent, offering suggestions and making sure we had what we wanted. Excellent service and food. Highly recommend and we would eat here again. Thank you from Wyoming

Ordered a Coco-Loco Margarita, Grande Quesadilla (plus Steak), Calamari Steak, and a Cantina Burrito. My partner enjoyed the margarita for its coconut elements. The portions of the Quesadill and the Burrito were very large and good for the price. The Calamari Steak might be recommended only if you prefer your calamari in steak form, I do prefer fried calamari rings. The Quesadilla was heavy with cheese and a good blend of steak within. Combined with the guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo, this made a great choice and I'm happy I went with the Quesadilla. Location is great, an ocean view if you choose to sit outside which is recommended and they do have heat lamps if the weather is cold. Medium traffic throughout the experience, it's a nice setting to have a meal by the beach.

One of my favorite places to watch the sunset! That Part Right There!

The grande quesadilla and sunset rolls are great! Definitely recommend coming here if you happen to come by it. The staff are friendly and the food is delicious, we always come here when we visit the beach!

We had late breakfast and mimosas here this past Friday. It's prime spot on Pacific Beach, on the boardwalk. We were outside and it was shaded at our visit time. We had good service, and meat lovers omelet was good. Hash browns we're not good, tasted old, like last night's shredded baked potatoes being recycled. It's our 3rd visit. Apple-sausage-brie-cheese oneLet is too dry, no cheese at all inside, just 2 small unmelted brie pieces on top. We're going g to come back every time there is sitting room. We love the location, good and service. Get out your wallet. You'll pay the California beach prices.

Had dinner there last night . I ordered their so called prime rib dinner . What I got was steak fries a vegetable and a piece of lunch meat . When you order prime rib you would expect to get at least a nice 8oz piece of of prime rib . For $16 this was a joke . I’ll never eat there again . I would suggest that if they want to stay in business remove this poor excuse for a steak from their menu . Absolutely horrible !

Really good food! You can’t beat the view right net to the ocean. Slightly pricy drinks but it wouldn’t deter me from going back. I had their breakfast burrito which was incredibly dense and tasty. I’d recommend it.

This place is Awesome! King of the beach when it comes to margaritas & 2-4-1 happy hour is a screaming deal! Da Lobsta rolls are to die for!
Sofia Mejia
Food was good. Tried the Lobster taquitos and grilled fish tacos. Was not disappointed Place needs a good cleaning. Music was way too loud for lunch time and was very busy. The server was nice, polite, but had too many people to tend to. Place needs to add bathrooms, especially for the amount of people drinking alcohol. 1 stall is not eough. Definitely not a family restaurant, although there were some tables with children there.
Donald Christopher Hall
Great atmosphere and view. Service was above average and food was too. I recommend to all.
Chris Sherrill
I have to be honest the only thing that kept it a 3 instead of a 1 was the margaritas are awesome..the service was horrible. We were on the deck and the woman seemed like we were an annoyance to her so we closed out the tab and moved inside...that server inside never even checked on us in an hour and half..we kept getting up and going to the bar to get what we wanted. Bartenders we're cool though
Mae Jones
Such a cool place to just sit and people watch, drink outstanding Patron margaritas, and by the way, the nachos are awesome! Our waitress, Macy, is a good reason to back again and again.
Carl Glover
Great margaritas any flavor you can think of, lobster soup and the lobster taquitos were awesome
Erica Sovick Gercis
We love the margaritas here which is what kept us coming back, but yesterday we finally tried the food. We got the Fajita Skillet breakfast. We added chicken and got home made salsa on the side. New breakfast spot for us when we make our monthly trip down to the area :-)
Joe Ramzy
It’s ok place with nice view. Food was not the best. Pricy drinks

We love coming to this spot. The giant margaritas were so yummy. Food was good but we really enjoyed the atmosphere and our server Sally. What a great smile and attitude. We will definitely be back.

Loved the chilled vibe, food and music - on my to-do list every time I come to San Diego !
Lloyd Moody
Awesome food and atmosphere, with great views! Highly recommend them!!
Tina Cargill
My cucumber Margarita (the Playa del Carmen) was one of the best ever! The food was perfect and of course the view is killer. We will go back for sure.
