    Baja Fresh – Tex-Mex To Go with Limitless Dairy-Free Options

    4
    By Alisa Fleming on February 9, 2023 Fast Food Restaurants

    Updated February 2023! This Fresh-Mex chain is a fast casual franchise, primarily located in the U.S. They have a heavy concentration of locations in the western states, but can also be found in Texas and a smattering of eastern states. Though they don’t publish their allergen information online, we discovered a plethora of dairy-free options at Baja Fresh with some digging. In fact, at last check, most items are made without milk if you simply hold the obvious dairy items. That said, we’ve outlined all of the options below, along with allergen notes and a separate vegan guide.

    Baja Fresh Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Allergen Notes & Vegan Options

    Baja Fresh Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Allergen Notes & Vegan Options

    This menu guide includes dairy-free menu options first, followed by custom order components. Be aware of special order requirements in parentheses () next to the menu items, and see the Heads Up notes to help fill in the blanks. Please note that this guide is for the U.S. locations. Options may vary in other countries.

    Fryer Note: Some locations might use a shared fryer. Check at your location before ordering anything deep fried if potential cross-contamination is a concern.

    Other Allergen & Dietary Notes: All items listed below are made without egg, peanut, and nuts, unless otherwise noted. The flour tortillas, tostada, chicken, steak, crispy wahoo, and salsa roja contain wheat. But the bowls, tacos, salads, and sides below can be custom ordered gluten-free with all other components. For vegan options, see the Vegan Menu Guide at the bottom of this post.

    Burritos

    • Baja Burrito (no cheese, see protein options below)
    • Burrito Ultimo (no cheese, no sour cream, see protein options below)

    • Nacho Burrito (no cheese, no sour cream, see protein options below)
    • Roasted Veggies Burrito (no cheese, no sour cream)
    • Sea of Cortez Burrito (limited offer)

    Heads Up! According to the staff, you can order the “Enchilada Sytle” with just the sauce, and no cheese or sour cream, to keep it dairy-free.

    Tacos

    • Americano Taco (no cheese, see protein options below)
    • Baja Taco (see protein options below)
    • Crispy Wahoo Taco (contains egg)
    • Grilled Shrimp Taco

    Heads Up! The Taquitos at Baja Fresh do contain dairy. The Flautas are rolled fresh every morning, with cheese in them. Some locations will roll fresh flautas without cheese, on request. The beans are all listed as milk-free but when you order a combo, they typically top them with cheese. Make sure to verify no cheese on your order.

The beans are listed as made without cheese, but many locations top the beans with cheese. Make sure to order with no cheese.

      Great site! Recently became allergic so finding it very useful! Do they say if the guacamole is dairy free by chance? I have asked and they claim it is, but its awfully creamy to not contain some sour cream… Thanks!

      • Sarah Hatfield on December 8, 2012 6:44 am

        Hi, Dale!

        I copied this information directly from the allergen chart Baja Fresh sent me, and guacamole isn’t listed anywhere on the chart. I wrote back to them and will post whatever information they send.

      • Sarah Hatfield on February 3, 2013 10:59 am

        Dale,
        Baja Fresh replied and stated that none of their guacamole contains dairy. They are testing a new guacamole recipe in a few markets, but the it does not contain dairy, either.

          Thank you so much!!!

          Thank you Sara for posting about the guacamole. 🙂
