There was lots of atmosphere with live music and very friendly service. Their was a good selection of food and they gave very generous portions. Mine was so big I couldn't eat it all.

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...

The food was bar none - the BEST Mexican I have found in Sydney. Without doubt! I was extremely unhappy with the service. Our water was warm (as was our sangria). We had to ASK for ice - multiple times. I wasn't sure who our server was and there was no attentiveness. Fair enough if the place was packed - but it wasn't. Disappointed but will return for the delicious dips, taquitos, and burritos.

Went as a group of 6, pre booked. First time and loved it! Portion sizes are good, so much food left over as it's easy to get full on the starters! Definitely recommend

Always a great experience. My favourite Mexican on Glebe Point Road. Great food and great service without any pretention. Very highly recommended to anyone (And I used to live in California, so I know what the real thing tastes like)

This place has some of the best & most authentic Mexican in Sydney. We absolutely love it there. The atmosphere is great (loved the live music tonight) and the wait staff is friendly. Unfortunately, tonight they were also really hard to catch - flagging down a server for anything we needed challenging, and there were a couple of mixups with items we ordered. This is a rare occurrence, though - usually the service is just fine. Think we just caught a particularly busy night. We'll definitely be back, and if you want authentic Mexican (not Aussie-style Mexican fusion, but solid Mexican food you'd get at solid Mexican restaurants in the U.S.), this place is a great choice.

Baja Cantina has a fantastic, vibrant atmosphere and great tasting food. Seating indoors and out the back in the leafy green courtyard. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu and even better when paired with a jug of sangria!

Food amazing but the service was not great. Also, booked a table and we got the worst table in the restaurant. We will return for the food but I will never let them choose my table again.

My favourite Mexican restaurant in Sydney... Excellent service and brilliant food. Things can get loud and I mean really loud after a few sangrias and tequila, so wouldn't recommend it for a dinner meeting 😂

Ate here recently with a group of 7 on the patio. The highlight, besides the Bajaritas of course, was the mixed dips starter. Everyone agreed the queso dip was their favorite, but the guacamole and salsa were good as well. The patio is a great place to dine. The mains were good, not spectacular. A decent place to go to get your fix of Mexican food.

Great food and friendly service. If you want the set menu be sure to pre order this 2 days before going as they do not allow you to have the set menu with out notice.

Good food. Big servings. Just a very rude waitress who rolled her eyes at us and told us as soon as we sat down that we had to be out a a certain time. I booked this dinner for 10 people so it did kill the good vibe a little bit. Besides her being rude everything else was good.

Food all felt a bit 'samey', service slowed down towards the end of the meal. 2% surcharge on card payments in this day and age is ridiculous

Loved it. They were really busy, but the team were still professional, helpful and especially patient and friendly. The food and the band were the big winners on the night, as it just completed the casual and warm atmosphere. Would happily recommend to anyone to dine there. Reasonable prices and you walk away feeling very very full.

Mona N.7 years ago · 1 review

Bland, reheated food presented in a very unappetising way. The guacamole was so bland as to be almost invisible, the refried beans looked like regurgitated swill, and the corn chips were gray and very sad looking. Compounded by wait staff that didn't know their menu - having to run off and confirm every single question, no matter how simple - plus a manager who has the people skills of a Terminator. Loud, arrogant, sexist and condescending, he made the evening a total ruin. Give this place a wide berth, try the excellent Flying Fajita Sisters just up the road instead.

Nachos were terrible. Entree was tasteless and badly presented. Waitress was hovering the whole time, even trying to take our plates when we weren't even finished. The glass of sangria (why isn't this on the menu??) was the only redeeming feature. Wouldn't go back.

Great atmosphere, great service, great food. Make sure you book though as there were a lot of people being turned away because the restaurant was so busy. We shared three starters and a main, the portion sizes were very generous so next time we will just do the starters I think! Great vie for money too.
