★★★★★ 5.0 Kirk Degler · Nov 2025

Quesadilla was filled with flavorful pork. The queso dip with chorizo was honestly probably my favorite part of the meal. The tortilla bowl it came in was so flaky and yummy! This place has a wonderful atmosphere that works so well with the food being served there. My better half seemed to enjoy her food and beverage. The server was so nice and had so much attention to detail! He really did a great job helping us pack up our leftovers -- thank you so much!

such a fun little spot. The bartenders are absolute pros and bring the kind of energy that makes you want to stay for “just one more.” Food-wise, I was honestly impressed the street tacos are bomb.com and hit harder than you’d expect from a bar-forward spot. Drinks are strong, the vibe is high, and the whole place is colorful in that “this is where the party starts” kind of way. Whether you’re a San Diego local or just visiting, Baja Betty’s is worth a stop. The atmosphere is lively without being over the top, service is on point, and it’s the type of place that feels like it doesn’t take itself too seriously, in the best possible way. You’ll come for the margaritas, stay for the tacos, and leave already planning your next visit.

It was New Orleans meet Halloween concept in there! Their tequila skinny Margaritas are delicious 😋. So, if you are going better have a DD.

Went to Baja Betty’s for a brunch with some friends for my birthday. We all had a great time. They really made me and my party feel very special. It was a large party and they were patience and cooperative with us. The atmosphere was 10/10. Portion size for the drinks and food was great! I would surely visit again the next time I am in San Diego and I recommend you visit as well. Ask for Shannon Moore, she was such a great waitress.

★★★★★ 5.0 Daniel Roizen · Jan 2026

Came here for Taco Tuesday. Food was great, service was really friendly and warm...extremely rare for me to say that. Host and waitress were great! Pricing on Taco Tuesday is reasonable. Definitely recommend the Fish and Short Rib tacos. Chicken was decent too. Both al pastor were meh though. Nice atmosphere. Will return for sure!
