What 1Sajeel M 1 year ago on Google doesn't like about Baja:
Zero stars, extremely poor service and rude staff. We were left waiting far too long for a steak and a burger with no apology. We walked out after waiting an hour and a half. The restaurant wasn't busy at all yet food wasn't served at reasonable time. Do not waste your money as the service is poor and staff are unwelcoming and very rude. View all feedback. What Katie White likes about Baja:
reasonable price food in a beautiful clean place. almost all from the menu, including the new ripening grillreis. delicious. they need to make sure they cook it well if they don't like it very often. I like rare, so I didn't complain. View all feedback.

We enjoyed a delicious family birthday meal here for a group of 10. The service was excellent and the food delicious as always

Bala is a Mexican restaurant with mixed reviews but a loyal following. Some customers have complained about food quality and service issues, while others rave about the generous portions and authentic flavors. The lamb ribs and calamari have received mixed feedback, but the barbacoa lamb taco is consistently praised. Customers have also mentioned slower service during busy times, but the staff has been described as friendly and attentive. Overall, it seems that Bala's success lies in its delicious food and reasonable prices, making it a must-try for Mexican cuisine lovers in Bedford.
