Encino Baja Fresh Has Closed

The Encino branch of the popular franchise chain has closed. While there is no closed sign on the door, or any notice of explanation, the restaurant is empty, with no tables, chairs or food service items in sight. The store's direct telephone number has been disconnected.

Calls to the chain's corporate office were not immediately returned Thursday. Check back with Patch for details on the closure as we get them. We'll endeavor to let you know if another Baja Fresh will open in the area, and whether there are any plans for another business to take over the space.
