El Baja - Fontana

This place USED to be somewhere I loved taking my family to eat great food with good prices, today we came here and it will definitely be our last.. horrible service! Our waitress was who knows where most the time our drinks needed refill and we waitedabout 15 min for that our food comes out cold but on hot plates. No napkins no silverware we finish our food still no refillsand now we are ready to leave with our waitress still no where to be found. I go up to the front to ask for our check and theytell me they will send her to us she comes and asked for our check ? like wait what?? No we want our check we are done, shebrings us the wrong receipt no biggie then gets the other one so we can sign ? Baja California you use to be amazing what everyou have done in the last year you have definitely destroyed the restaurant.

The restaurant had some cool decorations, the servers were pretty good the restaurant was pretty empty when we got there but started filling up. The menu has some great looking items, and we ordered a molcajete , rice and beans were awesome. Therecipes are a little spicy so if you can't take the heat you might want to stay out of this kitchen. Some of the clientele we'rea little low brow and we could hear f-bombs through the air, but I blame Fontana for that more than the business. Worthchecking this place out, I'd say yes .

I came here at opening so I was by myself. Service was oddly slow for no one being there but me. Took forever to get my drinks. I thought it was happy hour so I wasn?t expecting a big bill. But the drinks were fire. I had two margaritas, a pinacolada, two shots of 1800 and I ordered the taquitos. They were fire!!! The rice and beans are some of the best I?ve had. Thedecor and atmosphere are incredible. Huge parking lot.

Came here to try the menudo as it was close to home. Looked at the reviews and they seemed to be good. It took over 10 min to get a waitress to get our order, then almost 30 min to get food. The menudo was bland and tasted like canned enchilada sauce, wegot no tortillas and my hubby couldn't get the attention of no waitress. He was getting super frustrated when he finally gotsomeone to come to the table. We had to ask for salt, our tortillas and oregano. I wouldn't recommend to come here on an emptystomach cause you'll starve before you get your food. The staff just stands around just chatting amongst each other. With somuch staff, they should be tending to the customers and giving them all the attention instead of standing around talking and therestaurant was not even busy.

I am going to be really honest here this restaurant is not the best and it is all that great. My wife and I woke up late wanted to try this place and honestly we should have stayed in bed. Our waitress did not check on us, we ordered Menudo and tortillas.She forgot the tortillas and condiment had to call another waitress for the items The last I checked Menudo is not supposed totaste like Enchilada Sauce. Than our waitress spent time talking another lady in a black dress and that went on for 20 minutesand they are running around like chickens and the restaurant is not even full. Maybe 10 customers including couples. I'm sorrybut from the outside looks okay but from the inside looks like a Strip Club.
