Baja Fresh Mexican Grill - Franchise
In August 1990, Baja Fresh® Mexican Grill opened its first restaurant featuring all-fresh, traditional fire-grilled Mexican favorites. Like many who grew up on fast food, we realized that it was time for something else, something different and something FRESH. Baja Fresh continues to be passionate about serving the freshest and high quality food in bright, clean environments. We believe in the benefits of eating well, being active and making a contribution to the communities we serve. We call this philosophy “Live Fresh” and you’ll find this attitude in everything we do.
We choose handmade not processed – farm fresh not tin-canned – flavor and nutrition over fillers and fads. At Baja Fresh you’ll find eating well is a way of life and a state of mind. We believe in real food made with passion, for real people. Food that’s always prepared by hand from real recipes and real farm fresh ingredients, not pre-packaged. Life should be full of variety, zest and positive energy, energized by good health and good nutrition.
When we started looking for a business opportunity, Baja Fresh was at the top of our list because we firmly believe in healthy eating and healthy lifestyles. Owning Baja Fresh restaurants has been one of the smartest moves we have made. We appreciate all of the support we receive from the corporate office, and are proud to be part of the strong Baja Fresh brand and to do our part to provide fresh, healthy Mexican food to our community.Lisa Haberthur, Franchisee
