Baja Fresh Simi Valley Menu: A Review of Their Signature Items

As a fan of Mexican cuisine, I recently had the opportunity to visit Baja Fresh in Simi Valley and try out their menu offerings. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the vibrant colors and lively atmosphere that filled the restaurant. However, our experience was not without its hiccups.

Firstly, the service at Baja Fresh left something to be desired. We were not immediately greeted upon entering, which is always a bit disconcerting. It took a few minutes for someone to come over and take our order. The server seemed friendly enough, but it took some time to receive our drinks and food.

Speaking of drinks, I opted for a strawberry Margherita blended with sugar on the rim. Unfortunately, the tequila flavor was somewhat lacking in my opinion. It was either too weak or I didn't get enough of it in my drink. Perhaps they could work on perfecting their margaritas?

Moving on to the food, we ordered the two chicken flautas combo, which came with a bowl of beans and rice. The flautas were served cut in half, so we got four in total. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, just like I like them. However, the bread that accompanied our meal was a thin, flaky layer of crispy goodness that added an extra layer of flavor.

One thing I did notice about Baja Fresh's beans and rice is that they were standard fare for the industry. While they were cooked well and had good flavor, they didn't particularly stand out from what we've had at other restaurants. That being said, it's always nice to have a reliable option when you're in the mood for something comforting.

In terms of quantity, our bowl was a tad small compared to what we've had at comparable restaurants. However, the staff was happy to refill our bowls with more beans and rice if needed.

All in all, while Baja Fresh Simi Valley has some areas where they could improve, their menu offerings are still worth trying out. The combination of good food, decent service, and a lively atmosphere makes it a solid choice for those looking for a quick and delicious Mexican meal. Just be prepared for a potentially slow service and smaller portions than you might expect.
