Midtown is Getting a Second Baja Fresh!
And the Baja Fresh invasion of New York City continues… thanks to Midtown Lunchers “Michelle” & “Mike” for sending along this great news: coming soon signs just went up for a second Baja Fresh on Broadway btw. 40+41st. in the old Zest space. As for the first Baja Fresh location (in the old Zen Burger space on Lex btw. 45+46th), the official signage went up at the end of last week and they had an open house for prospective employees yesterday… so we are clearly just a few weeks away. UPDATE: Eater is reporting that the Lexington location will open the day after Memorial Day, and the Broadway location will open sometime this fall.
A photo of the new signage on Lex is after the jump…

I dunno Zach… two locations now…. This has “shitty chain” with food supplied by the lowest bidder written all over it.
I’m thinking an industrialized chain-ified version of the fukinese-franchisees-with-a-tortilla-machine shops that dot every other block on 3rd ave

New guy is interested if Mamacita actually dreamed about a Geoduck after Wayne put it in her head.

What’s so great about baja fresh? Is it just another chipotle?

Zach, you’re site is losing credibility by the second as you continue promoting a place that is destined to fail. There’s nothing exciting about Baja Fresh, it sucks. They charge you an upward of 9$ for a flaccid burrito with mostly rice. And that’s in Jersey, I can’t imagine what they’d do in NY. It’s not going to be like Cali, if anything it’ll be worse than Jersey. Get over it.

^^^ nothing is worse than Jersey… except maybe Long Island city
(awaiting the shit storm!)

@new guy – I’m going to withhold judgement until I try it… all i know is this. When I lived in L.A., the Baja Chicken Burrito (and that is all I ever order from Baja Fresh) was my goto lunch. I had it at least twice a week, and loved it. Is it “real mexican food”? No. Was it the best burrito in L.A.? Obviously not. But it was a good standby, especially if you wanted a burrito but didn’t want to feel super super gross afterwards.
Now, I have heard that Baja Fresh on the East coast is not nearly as good as the ones on the West Coast… so we’ll wait and see. But I will say this… it beats the shit out of Chipotle and Qdoba. So I welcome them with open arms into Midtown.

Touche Zach

Mamacita, FYI, the polluted radioactive waters running from NJ to Long Island City have created a perfect breeding ground for geoducks… I saw one from the ferry that was hung like a Shetland pony

Freak mutant turgid geoducks that rule the East River and they are all packing like Ron Jeremy
Run for your lives people … no orifice will be safe
