Baja's Mexican Restaurant

"This is the real thing" chorus admirers of the "spicy, well-balanced" Mexican fare with a decidedly "south-of-the-border" authenticity dished up at this "casual local" in Orange; sure, the decor teeters on "blah-looking" but never mind – those who prefer their comida "less Americanized" than the norm insist it's "worth returning to over and over", and besides, "takeout is a great option."

Baja’s boasts the Best Burrito, a big, bountiful, balloon of a soft tortilla bursting with beef or beans — or seafood. Affordable, filling and easily accessible on the Post Road. What more can you ask for? Well, at Baja’s, homemade chips and the popular salsa bar are free with every meal.

Winner of Best Burrito in the New Haven Advocate Best Of Readers' Poll 2012.
