Rockin’ Baja Huntington Beach



Rockin’ Baja Huntington Beach is a good meeting up with friends, diner and date place (they have dinner and a movie day).  They have awesome prices and a comfortable atmosphere. My favorite part, other than the tacos, was that they help out their community. A place that gives to charities and helps the community. Any place that helps other is a place I like to go to.   If you mention Sofia Valle’s Blog They will give you free dessert with food purchase.  Keep reading!

 I was driven in a very roomy mini cooper. The first time I had ever been in one. I have to say after I allowed myself. I have to say it is a very roomy car.  And after being  comforted by informative talk, we arrived!

 

Rockin’ Baja Huntington Beach: Located at 7811 Edinger Ave # 110
Huntington Beach, CA 92647-7634
(714) 892-3852
We were greeted with an awesome beginners: 

Chips and Guacamole: I have to say, the flavor of this Guacamole is one of the best I have tasted in a long time. Its texture needs a little more chunk, but the flavor overall I say Super.  By the time I remembered to take a picture of it, it was gone. That tell you a lot I hope. 
Fried Calamari: (pic above) They were very tasty. Not Too crunchy where you cannot taste what inside. It was well done. The sauce was simple. Nothing to strong or extra. Enough to allow the flavor of the calamari to come through with out taking away too much. A basic, simple and delicious treat to begin with.

The first entry: Tequila Lime Shrimp – Rockin’ House Specialty! 10.99
Sautéed in butter, olive oil, fresh garlic, cilantro, red pepper, lime juice and tequila,
served with grilled garlic bread for sopping up the juice.  This was a very tasty, and dare I say saucy dish. The flavor of tequila, lemon and Garlic were balanced.  Dipping the Garlic Bread in the sauce was my favorite.  The shrimp were a little over done, but over all a good plate.

Gnarly Nachos 9.99
Crisp corn tortilla chips layered with Mexi-cheese and our jalapeño-spiked cheese
sauce, ranchero beans, jalapeños and tomatoes, topped with guacamole, sour cream
and pico de gallo… I liked them. It feeds a small group. It wasn’t over seasoned like a lot of nachos usually are. Again, well balanced in flavor.

The All fajitas include ranchero beans, Mexican rice, flour tortillas,

honey chili butter, and chips & salsa.
Add Bottomless Caesar Salad Bowl • 2.99 (serves 1-2) • 4.99 (serves 3-4)
Accompanied with fresh pico de gallo, house-made guacamole and sour cream
Grilled Chicken 14.99 • Carne Asada Steak 15.99
Jumbo Seasoned Shrimp 14.99 • Veggie & Grilled Corn 12.99
Carne Asada Steak & Chicken Combination 15.99
Fajitas de Rockin’ Baja® – All of Our Very Best! 17.99

I liked these. Not in love. But they were OK. The chicken needed more flavor before being blended with the veggies.

Shrimp Lover’s Bucket 17.99 A dozen large shrimp for the really hearty appetite: The seasons on the shrimp where good!
I did expect a lot more for being a bucket.

These Burritos where my favorite part of the meal. They were almost mini burritos. I had the lobster shrimp one and I highly enjoyed it.

Tacos Chingones – Really Good Tacos! 10.99
Carne asada with cheese, beans, avocado and pickled onions wrapped in flour tortillas. I would go back for these anytime! 

Of course! Dessert! What is a meal with out Dessert? 

Fried Ice Cream! 4.99
Rich creamy vanilla ice cream flash fried in a crunchy crust
Garnished with caramel sauce, crispy sweet tortilla chips and fresh whipped cream

Rocky’s Chocolate Lava Cake 5.99
Warm chocolate cake with a molten chocolate center, caramel and chocolate sauces and fresh whipped
cream. Try this with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream!!!

This is my dessert plate. My favorite I would say is the Apple Burrito. Its An apple pie Puerto style. What more can I ask for? It was very yumm-e. 🙂


Rockin’ Baja Huntington Beach is a good meeting up with friends, diner and date place (they have dinner and a movie day). Their prices reasonable. My favorite part was that they help out their community. A place that give to charities and helps.

Guatemala, Tikal

Jes in Guatemala

   “Tikal is an enchanting place, with magnificent temples, the music of birds punctuated with the howls of monkeys, and the fresh smell of rain forest permeating each breath of air you take. Once the largest Mayan city in the world, Tikal is now the site of ruined temples, pyramids, stellar, and other stone structures. 30% of the ruins have been uncovered and partially or completely restored. The remaining 70% lie under layers of dirt and shrubs and trees, where they will be preserved well for the centuries to come; the presence of these hidden ruins is betrayed by the geometrically perfect shapes of Tikal’s many hills.”

A thing for brown

I’ve always liked the color brown… and I found some awesome steals while shopping for shoes..  I like to call them my mini cowgirl boots… I like to rename things… go with it on this one 😛  And Someone gave me a huge box of brown bracelets. So every time someone buys a necklace, I will give them a nice bracelet. Its stretchy.

“Desire to Learn

  • A desire to learn is a common characteristic attributed to a successful businessperson. Businesses are always evolving and what works today may not work tomorrow. Thus, continued education, awareness of industry activities, and a willingness to explore new, better ways of conducting business contribute to long-term success.

    • Networking

  • Networking is “the exchange of information or services among individuals, groups, or institutions; specifically, the cultivation of productive relationships for employment or business,” according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Getting to know people is a natural, direct benefit in industries like real estate and insurance. Most people are in need of these services at some point. Evan Carmichael states that “successful people go out of their way and meet as many people as they can because they know that the more people they know, the more opportunities come their way. Staying in your business or at home most of the time produces little results.” In most metropolitan areas, networking events are offered as a way for people to intentionally meet to develop friendly business relationships.

    • Communication

  • Communication is often included in discussions of success in any relationship-driven area of life. This includes business. “The best tool to master is to have great communication skills. Honest, straightforward communication totally outweighs fancy use of the language,” notes Carmichael. He goes on to explain the importance of studying communication styles and developing the ability to identify a person’s style and to know how to approach him with effective communication. Empathy is an important piece of good communication in business. When dealing with customers, for instance, your ability to empathize with their experience helps you overcome your desire to protect your business interests above doing right by them.”

    What is your fuel?

    There is always a struggle with food. I go through it everyday. I even have another blog about my eating habits. You see… what you eat is how you fuel your body. Think of your your body as a Maserati… Yes because you are worth being a top line car honey.  So,  would you place cheap gasoline and mess up your engine? I think not!

    Now I understand you. Food is the best! Its so tasty, chewy, scrumptious, and for many of us… our weakness. Its hard… I know.

    But! the way we eat also allows us to keep our balance. Example. This weekend I had pasta. Which is all carbs. No meat (protein) and by the end of the night, I was not only feeling super tired, but also had a tummy ache. Why? well because my tank isn’t use to awesome foods as much. I am curvy woman.. but i do have to say I do my best to stay and keep balanced when it comes to food.

    I do recommend it. Because once you have control over your meals, you will have control of a lot of other things that come with it, including your health. Its something a lot of people don’t like to talk about.  However, take it from someone has has been dealing with her health all her life… you are better off having good gas.. than bad gas… no pun intended. 🙂
