BAJA'S
JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY
MID AFTERNOON 6.2011

This is a restaurant my older sister took me to as a treat for lunch. I came into the place with an opened mind because not too many places are capable of making actual authentic Mexican style dishes. Sure enough, as we tasted the food, I was correct Was it because we came in the lunchtime hours? As I know, this place is quite known for its happy - hours and dinners. But, it is still a restaurant at all hours. Service and food should not be compromised. Here is my review results for Baja's.

1. Service - Walking in the door, immediately you will see decor Mexican style, but that's it. This is all the place can show and brag about. Waiters were eating on the host stand. Please don't try to get your waiters attention, that is a task in a half because they don't hang around their table areas. 
2. Food - Enchilada in mole sauce. This dish is more like" Uncle Ben's" bagged rice and frozen veggies. The flavor of enchilada was weak. The one I'm quite familiar with is more meat hearty, juicy, and more spice. Hello!! Where was the kick in my spice??!! 

• Guacamole and tortilla chips- Tasted like leftover avocado from possible happy hour. I don't dare to find out. Not fresh. A real Mexican spot would of made the guacamole right in front of you as you order. that way you know for sure what your getting. Nachos, were cold. Not fresh
• Cheese and beans dip - Originally we asked the waiter for this, but for some reason he brought us just the cheese. Was he listening to us a customers? or he just didn't care. This was the kicker!! I should of just stayed home because it was just a Velveeta block of cheese microwaved.

        3. Recommendations - No way!! NO NO NO!! Stay away!! Only a good spot for happy hour beers and that's it. Not for menu itself. Not good for first date impressions or any dates at all. If you were looking to just get drunk. This would be the spot.
