Area Dining; Oak Lawn @ 25 Jun 2010 10:59 am by judyorr
My husband and I were sad to see that Baja Sol closed its doors this year. So we were excited to see another restaurant opened up
called Baja California and stopped by to check it out. As we stepped inside on a Sunday afternoon we noticed we were the only patrons.
Everything is the same inside but as we looked at the menu and spoke to the friendly girl working there, we were told chips were not free like they were with the previous restaurant. Oh well, as I’m constantly dieting that kept me away from the chips and salsa.
Food ordering and pick-up were the same as Baja Sol. However, the food wasn’t. My husband ordered a burrito enchilada style. It looked really large and good. However, he said the sauce was cold, like it came out of a refrigerator and ladled over a warm burrito. Despite the cold sauce, he said it was very flavorful.
On the other hand, I ordered a bean burrito (or just a burrito without meat), but I asked if there was cheese in it. She told me there was. As you can see from the pics below my big burrito came naked and I could not find any cheese inside, but plenty of white rice. And my burrito was not flavorful.
In fact, I normally eagerly eat all of my leftover food from restaurants. I gave my leftover burrito to my daughter since I had no desire to eat it again. I told myself all I had to do was sprinkle some cheese over it and microwave it and it would be better, but I just wasn’t interested in it.
Not only were we not happy campers, but I thought the prices were high for what we got. I can’t imagine ever returning which is too bad. We made a few return trips to Baja Sol and they couldn’t stay open. Although I hate to see any business fail in Oak Lawn, I don’t see Baja California doing very well.
