Amazing fish and shrimp tacos. Nothing comes close in the area. The La Bufadora Nachos are also pretty tasty.

Love the Baja Shrimp Tacos!! So tasty and crispy! Can't wait until all this bs goes away so we can sit inside again and use the salsa bar with the pickled veggies.

Passing thru Murrietta, close to I-15 or I-215. It was crowded but was able to grab a seat for two. The only thing I didn’t like they were not jumping to clean tables after people left, we kinda just wiped it with napkins ourselves. Food was fresh and delicious, we would eat there again!

La Bufadora: A Bite of Baja with Fresh Fish Tacos La Bufadora is a hidden gem offering a taste of Baja California. This small, clean eatery serves up delicious and affordable Mexican fare. The portion sizes are generous for the price. I tried the potato tacos, which were good, but the crema tasted a bit off. However, the fish tacos were the star of the show! The fish was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and flavorful within. Each bite was a delightful burst of freshness. If you're looking for a no-frills spot to savor delicious fish tacos, La Bufadora is a must-try. Just be aware that the crema with the potato tacos might not be for everyone.

As soon as we walked in we noticed how clean the restaurant was. There were several people enjoying their meals, which is always a good sign. The gentleman at the register was super friendly and helped us pick our meals. Our group ordered the Carne Asada Burrito, a Wet Carne Asada Burrito and the Bufadora Nachos with Carne Asada. Everything was absolutely delicious. I personally had the Nachos and they tasted so good. They had beans, cheese, carne asada, lettuce, sour cream and Pico de gallo. The flavor was delicious. The lettuce and sour cream added a nice cold/crispy texture to the Nachos that exceeded the normal nacho experience. The red salsa was my favorite, it wasn't spicy for us, but had a lot of flavor. I definitely recommend trying La Bufadora. They have a special discounted menu item for ever day of the week.

Best al pastor street tacos in town. I love the grilled chili on the side with lime salt.
