Baja
Mexico's western peninsula
Baja refers to Baja California, the long, narrow peninsula extending south from the U.S.-Mexico border.
Americans often use it as shorthand for the region's beaches, fishing, and off-road culture: We're heading down to Baja for the weekend.
Baja-style in food contexts means preparations associated with the region, especially fish tacos with cabbage slaw and creamy sauce. (Lowercase baja means "low" in Spanish.)
