Bajamar Seafood + Tacos – Las Vegas (Downtown Baja‑style Seafood in Vegas)
Surf‑shack seafood over by the old Strip mall
Just off Las Vegas Blvd—“over by the old mall” locals know well—Bajamar Seafood + Tacos brings Baja California beach vibes straight to Downtown Vegas. Opened in 2017 by the Puchi family, it blends surf‑shack energy with Baja seafood flair.
Baja‑born, Vegas‑raised
What started as a Baja-born idea took root in Las Vegas, with the first location launching in 2017. It now has two spots: one at 1615 S Las Vegas Blvd (Downtown) and another on Pacific Ave in Henderson . The concept is simple: seafood fresh as the ocean, served surf-shack‑style with local-friendly hospitality.
🌊 What locals keep lining up for
Spicy Octopus Taco: sautéed octopus with chile de arbol, mozzarella, pico, aioli—a standout signature item.
Ceviche Sampler & Tostadas: trio plates like Tsunami, Wipeout and Fish – perfect for sharing or savoring solo
Aguachiles & Specialty Fries: from green, red or beet‑habanero sauces to loaded fries topped with shrimp and carne asada.
Classic tacos: fish, shrimp, Gobernador, Lucas, and carne asada all dripping with chipotle aioli and pico, with vegetarian options available.
Downtown Bajamar is where flavor meets value—expect generous portions, decent prices just steps from the Strip, and a friendly vibe that feels less tourist, more neighborhood local spot.
Community & culture blend
Part of Downtown’s growing food scene, Bajamar fits right in with arts district energy and Fremont Street buzz. Tourists get Baja coastal authenticity; locals get a friendly, reliable go‑to. The spot brings that surf‑shack casualness without sacrificing quality or freshness.
Final bite: why it’s worth the trip
Make no mistake, this isn’t just another taco spot. Bajamar is where Baja flavors, fresh seafood, and local Vegas character collide. Whether you’re craving sizzling octopus tacos or a ceviche feast, you'll likely walk in as a visitor—and leave feeling like a regular.
