    Food was ok, not great but not at all bad. Beautiful ambience on the patio. Main issue was service was odd and super fast. Waiter was respectful but brought out the entrees like 2 mins after the entrees. There was hardly any room on the table and it just felt very rushed. Won’t be in a hurry to go back

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the ambiance on our patio and found the food to be decent, though we’re always striving for more than “just ok.” We sincerely apologize for the rushed feeling during your visit. It’s important to us that guests feel relaxed and well taken care of, and it sounds like we missed the mark on pacing your meal. We appreciate you pointing this out and will use your comments to review our service flow with the team to ensure a more comfortable dining experience in the future. We hope you'll consider giving us another try down the road — we'd love the opportunity to make your next visit a much better one. Warm regards, Octopus Baja Management

    We went during happy hour. I highly recommend getting the torta. It has steak shrimp and refried beans and the bread is so fresh. We also had the conceptualized tacos which were amazing. We actually ended up ordering two of each. That we shared between the three of us. We ordered the pulpo from the regular menu and it was also delicious. The portion on the regular menu are kind of small so it's good to go during happy hour and fill up on some of the deals. Everything was excellent. Will definitely go back. This was my second time and I brought my son and my mother from out of town. They were very pleased with everything also.

    Thank you so much for your kind words and for joining us during happy hour! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the torta — it's one of our favorites too — and that the tacos and pulpo hit the spot. It means a lot that you chose to bring your son and mother in to share the experience, and we're so glad they enjoyed everything as well. We appreciate your feedback about portion sizes and are happy to hear happy hour helped make it a satisfying visit. We look forward to welcoming you back for your third visit (and many more after that)! Warmly, Octopus Baja Management

    I’ve been here half a dozen times and it never disappoints. Favorites include spicy Caesar salad w/shrimp, elote soup, oysters, Mahi Mahi tacos. I’m not an octopus person but I dined with two friends who live in Baja part time and they said it was as good or better than the seaside places they frequent when down south. Service is reliably efficient and very friendly. If you’re driving, parking lot is a plus.

    Thank you so much for your continued support — it truly means a lot to us! We’re thrilled to hear that some of your favorites, like the spicy Caesar with shrimp, elote soup, oysters, and Mahi Mahi tacos, keep you coming back. It’s especially great to hear your friends from Baja enjoyed the octopus — what a compliment! We’re also glad the service and convenience of parking add to your overall experience. We can’t wait to welcome you back for visit number seven (and beyond)! Warmly, Octopus Baja Management

    Very flavorful food with a kick. Oysters were delish, and loved the elote soup. We also had fresh market salad with mahi mahi and gulf shrimp tacos that were small but deliciously filling along with chips and salsa. Elote cob was overcooked, but the crème brûlée cheesecake divine. Very friendly server and comfy setting were a win. Thank you.
    Octopus BajaResponded 5 days ago
    Thank you for dining with us and for the kind words! We're so happy you enjoyed the bold flavors, especially the oysters, elote soup, and crème brûlée cheesecake — great choices! We appreciate your honest feedback about the elote cob and will share it with our kitchen team. It's great to hear the service and setting added to the experience — we always aim to make our guests feel welcome and comfortable. Hope to see you again soon for another flavorful visit! Warm regards, Octopus Baja management

    While I wish they had more variety of actual ceviche, the food was delish. Their shrimp tacos were unreal (gulf ones - so good with the mango salsa) and their salsa was dynamite. Service was 10/10, Maddie was amazing!
    Octopus BajaResponded 5 days ago
    Thanks for the feedback, Jules! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our ceviche, shrimp tacos, and the salsa. It's great to know that our service and food met your expectations. We noticed that while you found our selection of ceviche limited, you would still consider dining with us. We appreciate this feedback and we'll continue to strive for improvement. We're glad to hear that our team was able to provide an amazing service. We look forward to welcoming you back to Octopus Baja soon! Sincerely, Octopus Baja management

    It was very noisy and the staff did not turn the volume down when asked. The beans were too salty to eat.
