a modern take on the coastal flavours of Mexico
Established in 2006, Baja Cantina brings fresh, authentic Mexican flavours to Sydney, offering a vibrant dining experience rooted in warmth and tradition.
Every detail, from our commitment to fresh ingredients and authentic recipes to our warm service and carefully crafted cocktails, reflects our belief that Mexican cuisine is rich, diverse, and far more than the familiar staples. Bold flavours, colour, and balance sit at the heart of everything we do.
Baja Cantina is a place where people gather, stories are shared, and meals are meant to be enjoyed. From long lunches to lively evenings, each visit celebrates the true spirit of Mexico, inviting guests to explore, connect, and savour something genuinely memorable.
