The huge portions of food are amazing value, one main course is enough for a couple. The atmosphere is great, there's always a lively, fun band there. Would definitely recommend :)

Good food and reasonable price. Good sangria. Can't believe in this day and age they charge 2% credit card surcharge. That's more criminal than hotels and definitely more than the bank charges them.

Baja Cantina is about average when it comes to Mexican in Sydney. I ordered the Prawn Taco's. At $25 for two taco's I did expect a little more from the flavour, the prawns were deep fried with some coleslaw, not really traditional. Service was really good, friendly but not pushy.

Beef tacos pretty sad, lacking in flavor, not at all tasty, pretty dry. Did not enjoy our meal. The guacamole and chips is pretty good as appetizer.

Food was only average. They didn't allow us to do BYO as we were a group of over 5 people. Lighting was over the top and the waiter was unhelpful. Another waiter prompted us to order too much food, saying that it wouldn't be enough.

Delicious, authentic Mexican food. Huge portions - we were absolutely stuffed. We did feel a little hurried out when the clock hit 8:30pm but we did know they would want us to go by then when making the booking.

An authentic Tex-Mex restaurant where they have the flavours just right. It does get really loud there and it Is hard to have a conversation. They could do with some wall hangings to absorb noise.

Terrible!! Even though it is advertised as a BYO restaurant & I had booked for 9 people, when we got there I was told we could not bring wine because there were more than 5 of us. Something that they should, perhaps, have mentioned when I made the booking. I dine at BYO restaurants frequently & this is the very first time I have ever encountered this. You either let people bring their own wine or you don't. I would not have made the booking if I had been aware of this policy. Instead, I felt misled & ripped off. I explained that there were only 2 of us drinking wine, 4 of us were non-drinkers & the others would be buying beer with the meal, but the waitress still refused to allow us to open our wine. The restaurant wine list was lousy & over-priced, so the 2 wine drinkers just drank tap water with our meals - v disappointing when I'd bought a lovely bottle to share & really detracted from our evening. The soft drinks that were available were cheap undrinkable soda-stream versions of coke etc - but still charged at $4,50 a glass. My calamari (is over-crumbed/ frozen/ deep-fried traditional Mexican way?) & the side salad were both horrible but the tacos & nachos that were ordered by others looked OK. Generous helpings noted, but resulted in a lot of left over food that nobody wanted to take home, as I would have if the food had been more appealing. There was a good duo playing Mexican music, but it was way, way too loud & made conversation in our large group very difficult. If it was softer, it would have been a positive as they did sound like good musicians. Service was OK, if a little slow taking our order. 1 star is generous, but this site doesn't do 1/2 stars. There are much better restaurants around than this. We won't be back.

7 of us really enjoyed the mexican dinner at Baja Cantina on last Saturday night. Food (corm chips guacamole, calamari, baja salad, steak burrito, prawn fajita) and drink (jug of sangria) were plentiful to share and authentic mexican delicious. Service is fast and friendly. Would definitely come back.

Great food, large portions and reasonable prices. Cocktails are amazing. This place is kid friendly too. The only reason I scored it a 5 instead of 6 is because they don't serve coffee.. But they do have some desserts. Will definitely eat here again!

Happy with it, first time coming to Baja even though I've lived in Glebe my whole life. Only thing that was negative is that our table was taken so we had to be seated elsewhere which only took a few minutes. All in all it was good, great food/great service. Thank you

The sangria is sweet and strong, the food is good and the beer garden is lovely. There are quite a few vegetarian options and lots of starters suitable for sharing which makes this a great venue for groups. The service was prompt and efficient.

Hard to get staff attention but food was great with the exception of one of our desserts - cake was missing half the bottom section. Would definitely return though.
