Baja Cali Taqueria & Grill — Restaurant in Orinda

Beware: The menu prices do NOT reflect what you’re actually charged. Every item costs more. In addition, with the kid’s meal, you’re supposed to get your choice of main dish and side, so I ordered my child a kid’s burrito and fries. Well, I got charged separately for a side of fries—which was $5.45, nearly as much as the kid’s meal alone—and the woman who took my order automatically gave me beans and rice as the side…which makes no sense since the kid’s burrito already has those ingredients in it. When I looked over my receipt, I inquired about the overcharges, and she said that the prices have changed in the computer but that the menu hasn’t been updated yet. 🙄I wouldn’t have a problem with the prices if they were the ones listed, but charging more than your customer expects is just bad business.

The woman who rang us up and served us was so sweet. Definitely a nice little spot for some good Mexican food. I would...

Ordered takeout. Told them multiple times no cheese on one of the dishes. When I went to pick it up I asked again is there cheese on it? He said "shouldn't be". I then told him that my daughter is allergic. Of course I get home to find her dish, literally drowning in cheese. Every dish is. When I called back, they do not answer the phone even though they're supposed to still be open. My super burrito was hardly super. It was mostly all rice with a smear of guacamole and the wrong kind of chicken. For the high price of the food here, you could eat a a higher quality dinner at Siam...
