CYPRESS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Baja Fresh Mexican Grill, the quick-casual fresh Mexican chain, is excited to continue its 2009 expansion with the grand opening of its newest franchise location in Orlando, FL. It is the sixth Baja Fresh restaurant in Florida, the remainder being located in the Southern part of the state. Outfitted in a contemporary, intimate décor, the new location is perfect for dine-in guests or those on the go. The order counter features a redesigned menu board that promotes more customization, and the nearby salsa bar encourages guests to choose from 6 freshly made salsas, with at least one that will suit their taste-buds. Guests can enjoy the dining area equipped with wooden chairs and tables with Caesar Stone tops, while the use of warmer paints create a more upscale casual dining ambiance.

The new 1,500 square foot Baja Fresh is located at 4498 Alafaya Trail, Orlando across the street from the University of Central Florida. It is owned and operated by 12 year industry veterans Reyad Nofal and Missada Abukhdair, who also own and operate a number of other concepts.

Our location across from the University will provide students with an affordable, fresh, healthy and quick alternative when dining out in the community.”
