Baja Fresh

We operate Baja Fresh Mexican Grill restaurants that serve fresh, high-quality Mexican-style food in a quick-service format. Our menu features the standard Baja Fresh selection of Mexican-style meals, soft drinks, and other items designed to appeal to both adults and children. Customers can dine in or order takeout at our restaurants. We operate traditional locations in standalone or inline spaces of about 1,800 to 3,000 square feet, as well as smaller non-traditional locations in captive-market settings such as airports, hotels, colleges, hospitals, stadiums, and convenience stores. Our focus is on fast service, consistent food preparation, and a clean restaurant experience built around our menu, recipes, and operating standards.
