Dinner was great. We were nine and the food and drinks came quickly and with a smile. It's always a pleasure having dinner at Baja Cantina.

Always a great experience and good service. Make sure you have the mixed dips and a margarita on the rocks and enjoy the sounds of the Mexican bands.

Vibrant atmosphere, quick service and large proportions of great tasting food. Our fajitas came with not enough tortillas for the amount of fillings however which was slightly disappointing.

Amazing and authentic Mexican food on a great atmosphere with awesome service. The only place to get chips and Queso in the city. I highly recommend the tamale!!! The live Mexican music was a really great touch. I'll definitely be eating here again.

The food was absolutely amazing out of a taco lover perspective. Good service and atmosphere. P.s if your not that hungry I recommend to share two mains. You get so much food for a good valuable price!

Excellent service straight away from walking inside. The food was great and brought out in a timely manner. The pricing of the food was not over priced at all. Big servings and delicious!

Very busy as usual. They lost our order, but were very apologetic and sent over sangria on the house. Really enjoyed the harpist, less noisy than the guitar. Plenty of food, we now share the dishes as no one can eat a whole main. Love everything about this place, we travel from the North Shore because its worth the drive ,even in the traffic. Tortilla soup and ceviche were great

The service was slow and staff were inattentive. I ate the vegetable tacos and the only vegetable on them was capsicum. I guess it was just not my style.

Nice authentic food at a good price. Found some plastic on my plate from the cheese being grated but they didn't charge me for that meal. Both meals we ordered needed salt but no salt on the table but they organised some for us. Margarita with patron was to die for.

Great atmosphere for a colourful cruisine of much flavour and freshness. Service was excellent. Generous servings bring your appetite. Sangria was excellent and totally complements the food. Go.

Food, cocktails and service simply amazing. You have to try this cafe. Make a booking and ask to be seated outside on the back patio. Chicken Mole is the best.

Food is good, but very much let down by the service and the rush to get you out to close. We had an 8:30pm booking for a birthday (told it would be a two hour sitting), but the first thing they said to us was "the kitchens closing at 9" ... by the time our group all arrived at 8:50, we were given minutes to order. They then turned the music off and started packing up around us. We were then asked to leave because they wanted to close. We really felt like they didn't want us or our business at all and it really showed in their actions.

Food was tasty and abundant. The sangría was potent. We would have preferred to eat earlier than the 8:30 sitting, Being summer the windows were open and an enormous spider ran up the wall behind us just as our food was being brought out. This was beyond the control of the restaurant but it did add some drama to the evening.

Friendly service, staff was attentive and accomodating. It's a lovely looking place. The food was good but not amazing, I had not been there in a while so think in my nostalgia I built up my expectations! I got the beef burrito grande spicy but no spice and was a little bland, lots of rice and beans. Would have liked more fresh salsa in the burrito but that's just me!

For one of the only places in Sydney that does them, I was very disappointed the tamales were not available at 8:30pm. I had planned this for a friend who had not had them in a long time. Besides that the food came very quickly and was tasty and very generous quantities. Would definitely eat there again for great Mexican!

The food is amazing - there are plenty of options for vegetarians. The staff are friendly and the service is fast. Not the type of place to sit around for endless hours taking up the table and sitting there all night - it does not have that type of ambience.

The food was good, however a very bad first impression when I got there for dinner. The table was dirty and it looked like it has not been cleaned after lunch... also when our booking time finished (6:30-8:30), a waiter came and treated us like ^*+%it, practically kicked us out. I went to have a chat with the owner but the lad was not listening and although he apologised, he seemed like not caring much about my complain... I was recomendéd by one of his friends but he does not give a @>%^!!! One does not go out wanting to be treated like shit in a restaurant!!! Will never come back!

Baja Cantina is one of my favourite restaurants in Sydney. They have fast service, delicious food and reasonable prices. The serving sizes are enormous so be warned. Also if you get the 'fajitas' get one between two, I made that mistake once, never again.

Baja Cantina is always amazing! The food never disappointing, the service is always great. The burrito is always a top pick with the mixed dips and corn chips to start with! The cheese dip will change your life!
