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.

The atmosphere was very very nice, they had alive Mexican music which was lovely. The food was average, the service was nice and the food came out fast. But gave it a 3 as the food was not amazing.

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 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.

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!

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!

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!

Easy to book. Good service. Trio of dips were delightful and a very generous serving so much so that we barely touched our fajitas. Great night.

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.

Tasty Mexican food. Good value for money. Quick service. Too noisy to hold a conversation. Well located to public transport. Bookings recommended as have unsuccessfully tried to get tables here as walk-ins in the past.

Too many tables in such a small space. Food was average and the sangria wasn't made on site, it was just a premix. Very disappointing.

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!

The service was excellent, however while the food offered a no meat option for the vast majority of meals they didn't counterbalance with vegetables or anything and my friends meal was 90% rice.

Pretty Standard Mexican restaurant. Gets really loud inside when it's full. Nice food. If I did the Pepsi challenge with this place and flying fajita sisters, would not be able to tell the difference. Make sure you book early though as they were turning walk ins away.

We are from Southern California and Baja Cantina is the closest to Mexican food that we have had here in Sydney. The chicken mole is incredible. The staff is very friendly and the service is great.

We love Baja cantina, best Mexican in town! Big portions and fresh ingredients. The chipotle prawns are great in fajitas or taco supreme and love the trip of dips for the table to start.

Great food, drinks become expensive with a group so would prefer BYO option. We had a family with screaming children beside us so ask for a table at the back.
