Not one to write reviews but this place was delicious! I ordered a sope, expecting round sope but it was long like a gurrache. I also got a delicious catnitas taco, but was full with sope. Still good after eating in evening. Auga fresca watermelon was delicious and not too sweet. As to other folks stating it’s over priced. What do you expect your in Beautiful Santa Barbara! Location, location. Location! So yes pricey but Authentic and home made tortillas, sopes etc. Gladly pay higher price for the quality food. Beautiful scenery looking towards the mountains. Parking is small and difficult; your better off driving down the street to park.

the place is not very good the mexican food was. awful. sings to me. but. this. it has no taste the service is lousy. since it does not have waiters. and. Finally, the outside area where he is. wooden deck. is very. Dangerous as you feel the cars hit the wall. in the end. the only. good is that I take off. a little hunger

Everything tasted fresh, right down to the refried beans. I had a chicharron gordita, and it took longer to cook but was worth the wait. There was enough food that I couldn’t finish. She had a decent pork taco and an asada taco that was another five stars all by itself. It was so good I’ll have to order something asada next time.

My first time at Taqueria El Bajio……Great quality fresh food and flavor, staff and REASONABLY priced!! I ordered the Ceviche of the day (fish or seafood marinated in lime juice) and two chicken tacos. My only suggestion, the Ceviche would be more reasonably fair at $5.50, not $8!! TOO small for $8:(

This is one of few places that serve very authentic Mexican food. Anything that you order is very delicious. If you want a good taste, I highly recommend to mix the red salsa with the green. I also recommend their fresh juices.

I love the soup in here, it has flavor like no other latino place in LA. The only problem is it has no parking, but it wasn’t hard to find one in the street. And I just have to be honest, it has so much flavor almost like home made food, so if you ever visit Santa Barbara do not skyp this place.
