Baja Fresh is a restaurant chain of fresh Mexican style restaurants founded in Newbury Park, California, United States in 1990 by Jim and Linda Magglos. Categorized as a "fast-casual" restaurant, the quality and preparation time of its food is between that of a fast-food restaurant and a more formal restaurant. It is headquartered in Thousand Oaks, California.
