I learned from a tip over at the Burgh Blog that all of the local Baja Fresh restaurants closed recently. I walked past the one in Oakland and confirmed this with my very own eyes! So I guess we'll all have to fill up on Salsa Bars elsewhere.

The only thing I've ever eaten there was the chicken fajita because it costs like $7 and will serve as two large meals. You get chicken, three fajitas, guacomole, rice, beans, and veggies. It isn't like something I crave, and I don't think I will be going back because, like Julie said, it is very unhealthy. I think that some food places squirt like fat globules into their food! Grilled chicken has very little fat, no carbs, and is low in calories, as should veggies (probably sauted in goo fat), and rice/beans. I do think guacomole is probably fattening. Anyways, its always really salty and kind of tastes like poop after a few bites. I've never compared it any of the other Mexican Restaurants in Pittsburgh .. if I'm really craving mexican food, Todd can cook a mean taco and is much better than any of the crap around here.

If you are looking to get 3 days worth of calories, Baja Fresh is the place for you! I ate at Baja Fresh once... it was nothing special. A definite fast food chain restaurant feel. Almost all of their burritos and quesadillas have over 1200 calories. I will admit that some of the tacos and other things on the menu aren't as grossly unhealthy, but who orders just one taco and nothing else? They want you to order 3 or 4 and a large Coke. I won't eat at Baja Fresh when Vera Cruz is just down the street and is less greasy.
