I always like to hear whenever a restaurant is a huge supporter of charities and various causes. Rockin’ Baja is one of those places. In the past, it has supported the Memory Walk benefiting Alzheimer’s Association and during various times of the year, they allocate days where a majority of their sales go to charities such as CHOC and America Heart Association. At the moment they are also in the works to create a fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club of OC.
Located at the Bella Terra mall in Huntington Beach, Rockin’ Baja sits comfortably among other chains such as The Cheesecake Factory and Daphne’s Greek Cafe. The menu consists predominantly of seafood items, although meat is also offered.
We started with their signature Tequila-Lime Shrimp ($10.99) which arrives in a clay dish. The shrimps are very fresh, plump and with a crunch. The sauce is thick and clings to the shrimp well.
The kid chose the Cheese quesadilla special with chicken ($8.99 plus $1.99 for meat) which comes with a black bean salsa and served with two types of salsas.
The server suggested the Char-broiled skirt steak & seafood enchilada ($17.99) for me. The steak is marinated in a cumin cilantro marinade and served alongside an enchilada with Mexican shrimp, langostino and bay scallops and topped with a cream sauce.
For those of you who aren’t completely comfortable about going to a hard-core Mexican hole-in-the-wall in Santa Ana, Rockin Baja is a good choice to get your Mexican fix. It is non-threatening and service is friendly.
For the month of February, Rockin’ Baja will donate 15% of everything purchased from its heart healthy menu to the American Heart Association. If you’re in the area, stop by, grab something to eat, and help support a worthy cause while you’re at it!!
