№ 01 · The Brief

You want seafood tacos and you want them on Las Vegas Boulevard without paying Strip prices. 1,277 reviews. 4.7 stars. Bajamar Seafood & Tacos sits at 1615 S Las Vegas Blvd, not in the Strip hotel corridor, but close enough that anyone near the south end of the boulevard can walk in. Mid-tier prices. The room doesn't announce itself, but the review count does.

The menu runs Baja-style seafood, tacos, soups, mixed seafood plates. Reviewers name the octopus tacos and the spicy shrimp tacos first. The mixed seafood soup shows up in Spanish-language reviews as a separate signal: the regulars know what they're ordering. Order from the taco column, ask what's spicy, get the soup if you're hungry.

Hours run 11 AM to 7 PM Monday through Thursday, 11 AM to 8 PM Friday and Saturday, 11 AM to 6 PM Sunday. Lunch service is the core window. If you're driving down from the Arts District or cutting across from the Eastside, the Friday and Saturday extra hour gives you a real dinner window. Sunday closes earliest. Don't sleep on it.

If you live south of Fremont and want Baja seafood without negotiating a casino valet, this is the stop. Walk in, order at the counter, find a seat. That's the playbook.

The extra hour on Friday and Saturday (open until 8 PM) turns this into a real dinner stop instead of a lunch-only run. Sunday closes at 6 PM, earlier than the rest of the week, so plan accordingly.

How we score

The Insider Score is our own 10-point editorial rating, set by the writer who covers the room. It is never an average of other sites’ stars, and it is never for sale. It weighs three things:

01Track record

How highly a kitchen rates, across how many diners, over how long.

02Consistency

Whether recent diners still agree with the long-term verdict.

03Distinction

What the kitchen does that its category does not.

Bajamar Seafood & Tacos earns a 8.4, excellent on our scale for Seafood in Las Vegas.
