Bajio

This awful rotten thing is what they replaced my formerly kinda sorta beloved Dos Serranos (itself fallen and fading fast) at that location with. I went there once, just one the moderate hope that they would continue in the same sort of vague Mexican vein that Dos Serranos had mined, at one time, so well, but nope. More than anything else, this was essentially treading the same ground as Chevy’s, another chain that has excused itself entirely from the state. I believe Bajio wound up dissolving itself and all franchises are now privately run businesses, in fact.
That aside, what we had with Chevy’s and Bajio was heavily Americanized Southwest Mexican food, with Bajio moreso being a precursor of sorts to the Baja-​styled places like Costa Vidas, Café Rios and others of that ilk, including those with truncated menus spiking to burritos and salads only. Both Chevy’s and Bajio touted freshly made in-​store tortillas, a conveyor oven to demonstrate just how damn fresh it all was, can’t remember if the others do, but I never saw any signs. The other two were plastered with them.
The food was almost as if someone had put random Mexican spices and ingredients in front of some blind elementary school kids and then verbally told them what was in various dishes and asked them to prepare it. To call this substandard almost does a disservice to actual substandard places like Café Rio. When the best thing about it was the corporate jingle, which was admittedly quite cheery and one of the major reasons I went in at all, trying to keep this Mexican quasi-​fast food place afloat becomes a Sisyphusian struggle eerily akin to trying to drain the world’s oceans with a leaky thimble during a hurricane. All of the misfires of Café Rio combined with notably worse food… good riddance.

This place is closed.

All dark, looks like they are closed.

Unlike other fast Mexican places Bajio is great because it serves up meals not just burritos wrapped in foil. Don’t get me wrong, I still love Barbacoa, and Chiptole but when I want more than just a burrito I think Bajio is the place to go. Their burritos are served enchilada style with rice and beans on the side – which definitely rounds out the meal for me. By round I mean, I feel round after eating so much food, round like you’ll have to roll me out of the restaurant to get me back to the car! The portions at Bajio are BIG! I’m with Charles, I dig Bajio and especially like their sweet pork burrito with sweet rice. YUMMY!

I dig Bajio. It’s a lot like Café Rio, except it has a much larger menu with tons of different items and ingredient combinations to choose from.
You are also much more apt to get some HEAT naturally occuring in your food. They offer HOT sauce and Jalapenos that are actually HOT!
Yummmm… I get the burrito bowl with the sweet pork and it’s always very tasty, fresh and hot.
I think Bajio provides a much better value for the price than its competition. I say, GO! Get it!
