K38 Baja Grill

I didn’t get sick, let me preface this review with that. I had a pineapple jalepeño margarita, chips and salsa and a barbacoa enchilada with rice and refried beans. Now that we established this; steer clear. This place is NASTY. The waitress was SO nice, and the place is cute but the food is essentially how I would picture McDonald’s or kids cuisine to do “Mexican” food. It was so gross I actually spit out some of the food I had, which isn’t a pleasant look when out on a date. The chips were a less greasy equivalent to how I remember the chips at chilis being; disappointing but not bad; the salsa was horrible and to me tasted like marinara sauce and my date found it to taste like tomato paste. The rice, half of it was uncooked and HARD. The beans were obviously from a can. The sauce on the enchilada, the Baja sauce, was bad. I truly do not know how this place is in business. It was so disgusting I almost wish it made me sick that way I could’ve thrown up. NEVER AGAIN.

I’ve ordered the chicken enchiladas a lot and never gotten sick! It’s not the most authentic, but it’s tasty.

The staff is very nice but the food is average at best & not authentic. My Baja taco & my husband's guesadilla were not dishes I would recommend. The chips & salsa was very good.

It's wonderful. I haven't had chips outside my home since diagnosis. The waitress (Eliza) was super sweet and helpful. I definitely will come back.

Plenty of options to chose from. You mostly just need to stay away from everything with flour tortillas and the beef. Our sever was very knowledgeable about ingredients but still not afraid to double check everything for me. The chips and fresh salsa are safe and delicious! Some of the least greasy chips I’ve ever had at a Mexican restaurant. I had chicken enchiladas with tomatillo salsa, refried beans, and Mexican rice with a Cabo Lemonade from the bar, all of which I would recommend. My granddaughter loved the vegan Mexican rice and black beans too. The only complaint I heard from my wife is that the food could have been hotter (temperature).

Food was ok. Plenty of options and a separate GF menu, however none of us really enjoyed any of the food we got. The chips are made in a dedicated GF kitchen across the street. The corn tortillas were my favorite part of the meal.

Had a great experience here. Waitress was knowledgeable as she has a friend with Celiacs. Almost anything can be made with corn tortillas. Some of the best Mexican I’ve had. Guacamole is made fresh every day. Would come back if I’m in the area again.

Delicious meal, and they totally get cross contact. I had a mojito, chips, and a mahi mahi taco. They even have a dedicated fryer, so I could actually eat the chips. Waitress was kind and happy to accommodate.

We had the best experience of our trip eating here, so we ate here twice. Very friendly staff, dedicated gf menu that was HUGE!!! The best we'd ever seen. Dedicated fryer for the chips and willing to answer and ask questions in the kitchen. The food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

Restaurant is popular and we were too hungry to wait the first time but we returned the following day and waited for a table. They have a separate GF menu and everything was really good. My son has Celiac and did very well. I would recommend. Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable about GF.

This place is amazing!! Great service, a 2 sides Gluten Free menu and everything we fresh! I had the home made corn tortillas with Guacamole and Queso Blanco!! A chicken taco, shredded chicken enchiladas with Mexican rice, Mexican street corn and refreies beans and it was so good!! I would definitely come back here! Best Fresh Baja Menu!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very good food and friendly staff. Only hold back is almost all its dressings and sauces contain vinegar and they steer you away from and of the marinated meats. Pleased with the handmade corn tortillas.
