Went there with 3 girlfriends and got 2 entrees and 3 mains and couldn't finish it all!! The food was yummy and the place had a cool vibe and excellent tequila selection.
Really great restaurant, lovely staff and great food! Guacamole and fajitas are definitely my favourite as well as the delicious sangria. My new favourite Mexican restaurant.
If you want the best nacho in Sydney this is the place to go! Great place for big gatherings. Good food, good price, big portions and lively atmosphere.
Good and delicious food, friendly customer service, great atmosphere and well priced. My friend & I enjoyed it and would come back here again. Recommended.
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.
Good food and nice staff. Its worth to go there to try some Mexican food and enjoy the atmosphere with your amigos at any time
The food was delicious, cheap and very generous portions. The staff were very friendly. Great atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back asap! Highly recommend coming here.
We love this restaurant we come back all the time.
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.
We went early, so the food was bought out very fast (which we wanted). Service was great. The main meal portions are very large - great for sharing!
Best Mexican in Sydney very friendly staff and excellent portion size love this place if I can I will eat there every day never enough
what can i say, i mean i have to enter 15 more words to reach the 25 word minimu but yeah it was very nice
Our fave Mexican restaurant in Sydney - we are never disappointed. Always great food, friendly service, fun, casual vibe and one hugely impressive beer selection
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.
Great food in large quantities, too much for me sadly... good service as well. Parking in Glebe can be a beast though so leave some time to find a space
Good food and ambience with okay service - they made you feel to rush out the restaurant as soon as possible.Overall, we will come back just for the food.
It's really loud in the restaurant, but the food is great! Very good proportions and the margaritas are pretty good. I will definitely be going back. Cheers,
In the good side Food was very generous. In the down one Bathrooms are not particularly nice No split bills is really annoying, I had to pay for everyone
quite good. very packed. friendly staff ! .overall quite pleasant experience. Took our friends there to taste the sangria as we loved it last time. Sangria was not the same as before :(. was a little disappointing.
Quick service. Friendly staff. Large authentic portions with spicy sauces (if you want). Olé!
The atmosphere was lively, the food delicious and plentiful, and the service attentive. The entertaining musicians made the effort and sang Happy Birthday to my son for his Birthday. It was a very nice experience!
Great food and drink, good value and service. Get there early if you don't have a booking, it fills up very quickly after about 7pm
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.
Great service and ambiance. The food is really good. You can tell is more a California Mexican style but still a good culinary experience I'd recommend.
Delicious food and quick service. The staff were attentive and informed you promptly of any menu changes. Great location and atmoshere, would recommend to others.
Huge portions of authentic quality mexican food. A lively environment with friendly and accommodating staff. Highly recommended for any occasion. You will be satisfied with any dish ordered on their detailed menu.
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.
service is always fast and the food amazing.. Just wish the staff were a little friendlier. They always seem like they don't want to be there
Great authentic Mexican food and ambience! If you get the fajitas, share them between two, their portions are very decent! Great margaritas on offer too!
great food, drinks and atmosphere great music was just a tad too loud to talk with friends but very good all the same and reasonably priced
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.
The service was good, the portion sizes were large, and the buzzing atmosphere was great The food was very delicious! Will be going back again soon.
Love this place! The food is always delicious and the service was great. The musicians (albeit entertaining) were way too loud - making conversation at the table difficult.
We have been looking for a good Mexican restaurant in Sydney for ages. We are from Texas and appreciate the true flavours of quality Tex Mex and they are certainly delivered at Baja Cantina. We'll be back!!
Our regular Mexican restaurant. Service was very prompt as always and the food and drinks were of their usual high quality. We will be coming back soon.
Great food and atmosphere. Service a bit rushed but overall good experience. Price will s just right for what you get which is a plus! I would definitely go back!!
Had a really great evening at Baja Cantina as always, the food was delicious (the queso dip in particular is to die for) and the service was incredibly quick and friendly. Would highly recommend this place to all, best Mexican in the area
Lovely fried taquitos and good margaritas! I would recommend the carnitas (pork) one! The beer garden in the back is nice and relaxing! Good selection of hot sauces!
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!
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.
Excellent quality food, great service, reasonably priced and generous proportions. Will definitely dine there again. They have got many vegetarian options on their menu too!
We had fast service for such a big table. We were running late a little late so we called ahead and they did not have a problem with it which was polite.
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.
Table was ready for us even though we arrived early. Food was great. Had no issues at all Staff were friendly and the place was clean
The food is consistently delicious! We have to get our fix each and every week. Such friendly and welcoming staff. We feel part of the family.
Good food - huge portions! I would have preferred less salad and more guacamole, cheese, etc. but that's possibly just personal taste. Decent service, not super attentive, but we had what we needed. Would go again!
Huge tasty servings especially the ceviche and nachos. Tasty cocktails. Slightly annoying booking times - only 630 or 830 but still worth it. Getting hungry writing this review...
