This is my 3rd or 4th time here. Excellent food! Love the food and the atmosphere. They give you a small complimentary shrimp soup and it is delicious. My issue is it takes a looooong time to get your food. Which isn’t a deal breaker but it is inconvenient. My second issue is they charge a $0.75 fee I’m assuming on credit card transactions. I was not told there would be a 75 cent charge, nor was it explained. Now the 75 cent would not have done anything to our visit, order, or perception of the restaurant. However it would be nice to know about it. Still one of the best tacos we have had and we will be back for more.
Edit: Stopped by here while visiting family and the prices have skyrocketed and they still charge $1 for the credit card fee and they didn’t mention it. Lowered my rating to three starts and the prices seem excessive and the fee not being mentioned. Only restaurant I’ve been to that charges a fee for using a credit card.

One of my coworkers put me on to this place. Amazing food, I love their fish tacos, their consome and the chipotle sauce. Absolutely cannot beat the fish tacos here. The ceviche tostada is really nice as well. I’ve tried the adobada taco as well which is good. I also like how they give a good amount of limes to eat with the tacos. Also I always wash the food down with horchata.

Didn’t like $1 dls fee for credit card use. It was a surprise after I’ve paid. They didn’t tell me!!
Prices are high, specially for a shrimp cocktail $ 27 dls. Cocktail is missing condiments but the amount of shrimp is very good. Only 2 stars

We have ordered from MLB for takeout on numerous occasions. The fish tacos are tasty. The octopus-shrimp cocktail, beef-shrimp quesadilla, the guero loco and tostadas loco are all fantastic. Unbeatable price for top quality fresh seafood!
Dine-in experience is even better. Best Mexican food all around!

After reading reviews that this place had the best fish tacos we had to try it. Let me start by saying that at $2 each, they are the cheapest I’ve had. The positives end there though as the batter is too thick and becomes soggy almost immediately. The fish would do better with a thinner batter and some seasoning.

Aguachiles verde is a must. Call in orders we’re odd and we couldn’t get an answer for a phone number. If they’re busy, wait time can add up. We waited a little over an hour for a medium order of ceviche (holiday weekend). Would have been nice to phone an order in. Still highly recommend this place.

Unlike what I’ve come to expect of mariscos purveyors around the county of San Diego, Mariscos La Baja is clean, bright, and modern; a comfortable place for a meal. The ownership is from San Felipe, a fishing village of less than 20,000 residents on the Sea of Cortez in Baja California. Although Ensenada is the Mexican municipality most associated with the “invention” of the Baja-style fried fish taco in the 1950s, San Felipe claims to have originated it as well. Regardless of which city you believe, San Felipe-style mariscos are every bit as mouth-watering as the seafood dishes and tacos I’ve had from places run by Ensenada natives.
Here, the “Fish Taco” is fabulous for a $1.75 taco in a sit-down restaurant with a waiter who delivers your order to your table. The beer-battered piece of fish was crispy and large. Although I consider the bagged corn tortillas here to be somewhat problematic, they were at least edible. I suggest drizzling Mariscos La Baja’s fish taco with their chipotle salsa.
The taco to order at this restaurant is the “Gobernador Taco,” featuring plump, grilled shrimp entombed in gooey cheese with sautéed celery, onions, and bell peppers. This is a $5 taco, but a fairly large one that is served with a fork. I recommend leveraging Marisco La Baja’s zesty salsa roja with this.
The final taco I ate was the “Octopus Taco,” which is filled with a bounty of chopped grilled octopus that has been marinated in what tastes like a wine sauce of some kind. It is a solid taco de pulpo, about average for seafood tacos in the San Diego region, which means way above average elsewhere.
The tacos here come with a complimentary “Consommé,” or tasty seafood-vegetable broth with chunks of fish and shrimp. Again, one gets great value for their dollar at Mariscos La Baja.
