Sabor Baja

You want the best fish tacos in Unincorporated Whittier? This is the place. The fish tacos are so so so good. Perfectly fried, crunchy, juicy, yet not greasy. Their salsas have just the right amount of heat. I’ve had a bean and cheese burrito as well and it was a hefty size. If you try anything here though, make it the fish tacos.

Fish tacos are yummy. Haven’t tried anything else, but my friend has and always enjoys.

I have to admit, I’ve gone here many time but have only ordered the .99 fish tacos. From my experience (with no exposure to other items on the menu), I would give them 5 stars. Nevertheless, they have many choices on their menu including, seafood cocktails, molcajetes, fajitas, various deep fried and grilled seafood items, as well as the traditional Mexican restaurant entrees like tacos, burritos and enchiladas.
Depending on my appetite, I generally order 3 or 4 fish tacos. 3 fish tacos seems to do the job most of the time, unless I’m super hungry or looking for a hearty lunch to hold me over in anticipation of a late dinner. They have a great salsa bar with my favorite, grilled and salted yellow peppers! Although this is not a traditional sit down restaurant, the food is well presented and they use ceramic plates!
Not entirely their fault but parking during the lunch hour (12−1pm) can be a challenged. Since I don’t have a set lunch time, I generally try to arrive closer to 1pm to avoid some of the lunch hour crowd.

This review has been a long time coming. I work nearby and Sabor Baja has been one of my favorites for several years now. I think they underwent an ownership change a couple of years ago, but the quality is as good or better than ever.
The food: as good as it gets. I love the food here. You can tell they put real heart into the cooking. Everything I’ve had has been perfectly and lovingly prepared. Even the plating is nice. My absolute favorite thing is the carnitas taco. I like to use the ample amount of tender meat they give you to split the taco in half using the two tortillas they provide per taco. Topped with salsa verde (so, so good) from their salsa station, this is one of the best tacos I’ve ever had in my life. Their fish tacos are also out of this world. Huge pieces of tender, flaky fish — perfectly battered and fried with cabbage and white sauce. They’re not too heavy like fried fish tacos can be sometimes. My favorite meal is two carnitas tacos and one fish taco. This is a LOT of food, but I sometimes get four if I’m feeling particularly ravenous. I’ve also had their burritos, nachos, quesadillas, and asada tacos. Everything has been super high quality and delicious. Prices are reasonable and they have daily specials.
The people: great people. Not something I normally notice, but everyone that works here is nice, humble, and kind. I get a good vibe from them every time I’m there.
The place: The place is a tad beat up, but isn’t that what you want from a hole-​in-​the-​wall little (not really that little) taco shop? I think it’s kind of charming, but some people might look down on the torn, sagging booths. I don’t really care, though, because the food is legit.
Overall: easy 5 stars. Try it — you’ll agree. Everyone I’ve ever taken here has been very impressed.

3^rd time I’ve been here and it’s great… The service was great. Food was brought to our table and looked awesome. The ladies there are super nice they came to our table and checked on my hubby and I. Very friendly!

Been here several times, mostly for Wednesday $ 1 fish taco. Their $ 1 fish taco is great, good size and tasty. There are many other fish taco places have smaller fish taco, so this place is really good for that, and at $ 1, it is pretty awesome. Plus, they have the yellow pepper, which adds to the taste. So if I was rating on the $ 1 fish taco, then I would give it 5-​stars.
But a group of us went there this past Wednesday. We didn’t know that for Ash Wednesday, the fish taco wasn’t on special. They still had it but wasn’t $ 1. So our group took the opportunity to order other items from the menu. With a combo plate and a drink, it was easily $ 10. So for $ 10, the food was so-​so at best. And with the 6 of us, they made 2 orders wrong.
I will definitely go back for the $ 1 fish taco in the future, but if I wanted other Mexican food, I would probably go else where.

Their fish tacos are delicious!!! If you go on Wednesdays & Fridays, I believe they have a $ 1.00 taco special. Can’t beat that!

I really enjoy this place. The food is good and fresh. I try to had different plates each time I do, but their shrimp tacos are definitely a must have.
The staff is friendly. The establishment is nice and clean.
Recommend it to everyone I know.

This place is the best. Fast service on weekdays during lunch and inexpensive. Their fried fish tacos and guac are the best!
Tip: They have a card minimum of $ 4 or $ 5.

First time here and was really pleased. We tried the fish tacos and Baja nachos. Everything was really good and fresh. They have an A grading and the customer service was excellent. The young man working the register was nice and attentive. Will be coming back for more of those tacos

The good is amazing and the place is very clean. I would highly recommended it. I ordered the mixed fajita plate, came with beans rice tortillas and Addams, chief and mofo SHRIMP!!! DELICIOUS!!!

Noticed some upgrades since they did their Re-​Grand Opening. Quality of food hasn’t changed, it was already amazing, but mood and atmosphere definitely feels lighter.

My favorite quick meal are the fish tacos!!! Can’t beat $ 1 ea

Food is always good. One of the best places to go for lunch if you work around there. I have tasted more than a few things there and it never disappoints. One of their highlights (at least for me) GRILLED SHRIMP TACOS!!! They are the best, great flavor. You must try!

Excellent food. We loved the menudo, crunchy tacos, chip and salsa. The guacamole was very good. It was small but clean and they take your order at the table and serve you.

Love this place! So underrated. Its really clean and they make delicious home made Mexican food. I saw they had chile rellenos on special and ordered them. The rice tasted homemade and was very fluffy. The chile rellenos were also light and fluffy and delicious with an ooey gooey cheesy center. I definitely recommend this place if your around.

I came in with disabled friends and they were rude to us, they claimed we were messy when my friends aren’t. The owner’s wife was rude and very ignorant towards us. It would have been a different story if she would have come up to us with her concern in a nice way instead of having an attitude trying to talk down to us. I will NOT be coming back here! I got sick off the food anyway so I’m not that worried about it.

$ 1. Fish taco Sundays & Wednesday excellent ensenada style tacos for a dollar are u kidding me wow & delicious highly recommend. Need to also mention yummy Shrimp tacos NOT a $ 1. But bomb
