Bajio 1

I’ve been here a few times with lackluster results. I’m not sure why I keep coming back — I guess I expect it to get better, but if possible it continues to get worse. This will be my last visit.
The food is rather tasteless. The pineapple shrimp is ungodly sweet, and the other meats simply have no flavor. Also, they are loaded with so much liquid that tacos end up sitting a pool of water and get ridiculously soggy. I would comment on the pico, but they didn’t have any (at noon on a week day). Instead there was a tub ½ full of red water.
Nothing about the prep area screams cleanliness. Today there was a huge pond (seriously an inch or two deep) of water where you step up to order. Probably runoff from the chicken. Gross. Not to mention the hard core rap on the sound system. I like 2pac as much as the next guy, but any music with «MFer this» and «n-​word that» probably isn’t appropriate for suburban «family friendly» fast food dining at lunch time.
The staff genuinely seem like nice people. But it’s clear they just don’t care about this place. I was waiting in a line of 3 customers with 4 guys behind the counter. Mass confusion there. Then someone who I presume is the owner showed up from the kitchen area. One of the employees stopped what he was doing and went and made 2 salads for this guy and his friend while the rest of us paying customers stood there wondering what is the hold up on making 2 tacos.
Things like that make it clear the owner has no clue. The POS system was also inoperable. The guy checking us out used a calculator and wrote the total on a log by the register. I have no idea if it was right or not.
Save yourself the money and the bad meal. There are both a qdoba and a chipotle two miles south on Michigan road that you will enjoy much more.

Ownership of this establishment has definetly changed. I would only come in every now and then as the prices are higher than I would care for them to be for lunch. When I came in to the restaurant noted that there was a new crew working there and after being greeted I placed my order. Then I started to look around and make some observations. It was very hot on the front line, which made me concerned for all the food that should be kept cool that was also uncovered on the line. The back door was open as I assumed was an attempt to allow for ventilation but also invites bugs and once again with food left uncovered on the line caused me to pause. Quite frankly the staff was acting like fools even talking about wanting to take their shirts off because it was so hot in the building. I paid and took my order. When I got out to my car, thought about things and went somewhere else for lunch and threw away what I had ordered from Bajio, I just didn’t want to risk getting sick.

There was one person working there the day we went and I wonder what happens during the busy hours. or if it even gets busy at all. The woman that took our order & cooked our food was in a terrible mood. We even tried cracking a joke with her while she was cooking… no dice, just dead stare and crickets. It was similar to being in a Qdoba or Chipotle line, minus mostly pre-​cooked food and happy cheery staff. My fish taco plate was beautiful and you get a lot of food, but it was nothing spectacular.
Will we go there again? MMmmm, me thinks not.

Bajio is just like Qdoba or anything other Mexican fast food restaurant. I had a Groupon for this place for $ 8 worth of food so on an unseasonably hot day, I went and ordered the Pineapple Shrimp Salad. I loved the number of add ins and when it came out, it was gorgeous There was too much juice from the black beans and the salsa so what should’ve been a salad turned into cold Mexican soup. No bueno. It would have been fine if there wasn’t so much juice, add to the fact that the lettuce was shredded lettuce as opposed to bigger pieces, I wasn’t a huge fan.
