Reeled in a Keeper!

Senor Baja
Norwalk, CA


I heard of this spot from Yelp! So I decided to check this out, and see of everyone was credible. For the most part, everyone nailed it. I have the Jones for fish tacos so from the minute I walked into Senor Baja to the second I stepped out, I was genuinely satisfied. This is no diner, so steer clear if your intentions of impressing your hot date are still a priority. Unless of course, she is down for a cheap date, as she still flaunts off her Coach purse.  But this is your usual fast food joint having about 9 tables for people to dine on. The things I appreciated about Senor, was their easy access parking lot, the quick service, and how compassionate and welcoming the employees were. You would more than probably expect unsatisfactory service at a fast food place, or you wouldn't expect anything, but the lady there helped us out. Their menu is very simple and straightforward. The facility is insignificantly small, yet spotless for the most part. They have a mini salsa bar, not offering much of a variety of salsa, but they do leave you with some enormous jalapeƱos. I got the dos taco plate, consisting of one fish taco and a shrimp taco, featuring Spanish rice on the side along with tortilla chips. Their tacos were stuffed into corn tortilla (my favorite) and are laid out in such a fine mess, you would just want to dive into it. The tacos are very messy and petite in size. Here, you would have to consider quantity, because quality won't be an issue. I had two tacos and I wasn't full, nor was I no longer starving. I was content. My guess is that if you were ferociously starving, you would conquer each taco with three bites each, and possibly four taco would do you justice. Mind you, these tacos are loaded. Senor Baja was heavenly delightful. Pretty dank. I wouldn't say it's the best around town, but if you happened to stumble around the Norwalk-Cerritos vicinity--make a stop by Senor's. They say every Monday and Wednesday, fish tacos are $0.99 each.


*In the photo, you can easily tell how unfortunate the sizes of their fish tacos are--but thats how they come. I overloaded it some more with salsa, just because that's how i toll [:
