I lived in San Diego when Betty's opened and even though I've sadly moved on, it's still my favorite restaurant. You can tell the quality of the operation when you consider that so staff members have been there for many, many years, some from its opening. It's a five hour round trip motorcycle ride for me but it's well worth the effort.

Baja Betty’s is a unique Tex Mex restaurant with flare and excellent bar. My recent dinner while visiting San Diego was a decent experience. The Chips and salsa were excellent to start followed by decent chicken fajitas. It’s in a great location and easy to find.

Baja Betty’s is SO MUCH fun!!! Went with my sister and mom to celebrate mom’s birthday. She was absolutely thrilled with the whole experience. The food is great, (check out the birthday desert!!) service fantastic, and vibe is a blast. It’s everything you love about Hillcrest! 😍😍 Highly recommend if you like fun and aren’t offended easily. 😆

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.
