Baja Fresh Mexican Grill currently holds a D-minus grade and scores better than only 19 percent of comparable restaurants, placing it in the lowest tier of its category. The facility has demonstrated a volatile inspection pattern marked by critical temperature control failures that recur across nearly every inspection since May 2023, including improper cold holding violations and most recently in February 2026 and September 2026 issues with room temperature storage and hot holding temperatures. After reaching a clean inspection in October 2024, the facility backslid significantly, and the most recent September 2026 inspection shows a sharp decline with high-risk violations only, suggesting the facility is moving in the wrong direction.
