Came here for happy hour on a Wednesday with the girls and it's now one of our new favorite places! First of all, the coconut mojito - I can drink a pitcher of this. It was so good and very nostalgic for my cousin and me (we went to Cuba in 2019 and it really reminded us of that trip!). The happy hour specials were delicious. We got the shrimp tacos and shrimp ceviche from the HH menu. Both seasoned to perfection and packed with flavor. On the regular dinner menu, we got the spicy Caesar salad, fisherman's stew, pulpo (octopus) and a side of broccolini. Everything was good, but our favorite was the broccolini! It was tender and the tiny tips were crispy and paired well with the sauce. We also got the creme brûlée cheesecake and the brown butter cake for dessert, which were both delicious and a good portion size for sharing amongst us 4. Our server was super patient with us and so kind, as there was a slight mishap with one of our drinks, she gracefully took it back and promptly made us a new one. It had been awhile since us girls got together so we sat for a long while as we chatted away and our server continued checking in and serving us water. Of course, if it was busy we would've left after paying our bill. I seriously cannot wait until the weather gets warmer because their outside seating is so cute! All the decor is cute, but outside is just SO cute! They have the cutest navy blue and white umbrellas and an underwater/ocean aesthetic which makes me want summer NOW. I'm already imagining having lunch outside, fur baby next to me, mojito in hand LOL

Overall: 4/5 Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Price: 3.5/5 Came here for Big Back Activities. Had a great experience here! The ambience is great! Nice dim lighting, and great vibes. I love the Decour, has an outdoor but indoor vibe. The restroom was super clean. This is always a plus for me. The cleanliness was definitely on par. The food was really good. My wife got the octopus, which was exceptional! I have never had an octopus that tender. I didn't even know it was octopus. The Steak and shrimp was good, the torta was good. I will say the only thing that was lacking was salt. I know restaurants will often times opt for less seasoning out of fear of over-salting. But we gotta have that good ol seasoning, or the flavors don't come to life. The service was great! Our waitress was Paola. She was very kind, knowledgeable and attentive. S/O to Paola! Will I double-back?? Yesssirski!

We went here during restaurant week and it was quite busy! The food itself was flavorful and plated well. We sat at the bar and our food came out pretty quick and the bartender that was taking care of us was attentive. If you're looking for elevated Mexican cuisine, this place is worth the try.

Octopus Baja is an adorable seafood Mexican fusion restaurant located in the heart of Midtown Sacramento across from Sutter's Fort. The coastal decor and furniture creates such a wonderful ambiance. The service is excellent and their team was so welcoming. We tried this spot for lunch and the food was exceptional. We had the ceviche and octopus tostada to start with and then enjoyed the Baja surf and turf torta for our main entree. Both dishes were amazing and I'd highly recommend. They make a mean margarita and have a great wine list!

Hidden gem, our server said...Paola was amazing! Because of her recommendations and exceptional customer service we will be back for another visit. First impression upon walking in? ... very cute interior. The big windows bring in so much natural light which is very inviting. I would say Octopus Baja is great for big groups, be sure to call ahead. Our food was pretty good with different flavors that create an explosion of yumminess with every bite. I ordered the Baja Surf and Turf Torta, check out my picture because not only is the food delicious but the presentation is really vibrant and colorful. My husband ordered the Chipotle Salmon which was also very delicious! You can tell that the chefs cook with experience and love. If you eat here be sure to try the chipotle aioli, this sauce is magical and nothing like o have ever tried anywhere, not even in Mexico.

Saw this place through social media, so we wanted to try it. Trendy restaurant with plenty of options to drink and eat. We got a few of the top recommendations from our waiter and they all did not disappoint. Although on the pricey side, the items were all good enough to share. Tasty. The drinks were good, and if you like mescal--their mescal drinks was very Smokey. Parking available next to the restaurant, but there is plenty for parking.
