Came across this place on our way to Vegas and it did not disappoint! The shrimp burrito was the size of my head for only $10.99! Lots of shrimp but wasn’t dispersed evenly so I at most of the shrimp first and the rest was more rice, but I was extremely pleased. Husband had the Cali burrito, also the size of my head, which he enjoyed. Daughter had five rolled tacos with guacamole and cheese. These were amazing! None of these items were consumed in one sitting. The leftovers were a second meal. There is only person taking orders and getting the food ready for you. We took the food to go, but there is an outdoor sitting area that’s covered. Be ready to wait, good food takes time. And it’s worth it!

Tried veggie burritos and fries. Loved their salsa. Burrito was very filling and good. Outside sitting is cool. Would return back to try other items on their menu. Price is economical. Inside seating is also fine.

The Food: We ordered a Cali Burrito, a Chicken Quesadilla, and Carne Asada Fries… and wow. Everything was incredibly fresh, packed with flavor, and served in massive portions. This is the kind of food that covers lunch, dinner, and probably lunch again the next day. Every bite was loaded, cheesy, and perfectly seasoned. The Vibe: Laid-back, busy, and full of energy. The kind of local spot where everyone knows the wait is worth it. You’ll catch the smell of grilled carne asada before you even step inside, and that’s how you know you’re in the right place. The Value: Unmatched. The portion sizes for the price make this a standout. Quality, quantity, and flavor all in one. Final Word: It’s worth the wait, it’s worth the trip, and honestly… if it isn’t Cali Tacos, is it even a taco?! #CaliTacos #OrangeEats #CarneAsadaFries #CaliBurrito #SoCalEats #WorthTheWait #LocalFavorite

Delicious and huge tacos! I was initially a little put out by how much the tacos were and then I got them and can say they’re completely worth the price. This place is a great value and the food is also bomb. Would def come back

Consistently a 5/5 in terms of food quality and flavor, but the insane steady price increases over the past few years bring down to a 4.5/5. Still, I’ll round up to 5/5 in this case to support a local shop. Service tends to be slow and meh (rare to have great service, usually service is just OK) and the one line to order and pick up once ready makes it awkward and take longer than it should. Bathroom is in the courtyard have to ask for the key.

Had to try their California Burrito since that’s what they’re known for, and let me tell you, it was absolutely fire. The crunch from the fries was spot on, and the salsa and sour cream were perfectly balanced, adding just the right amount of flavor without overpowering everything. The carne asada was packed with flavor, and you could really taste the marinade even through all the other ingredients, which was a huge plus. Ya gotta get it to try it for yourself. The food came out super fast, which I appreciated, but I have to say, the woman at the register wasn’t the friendliest, pretty cold and not very welcoming. It would help if they had someone more customer-focused up front, especially since I wanted to ask about other menu items but didn’t really feel comfortable doing so. That being said, the food delivered- and that’s what matters most! The inside is extremely small and has like 3 tables, but the outside seating has plenty of tables! I was also happy to see they had horchata, not homemade, but still pretty good, and getting three refills was a nice bonus. The little salsa and toppings bar was solid, and I highly recommend the verde salsa. It had the perfect kick and a nice zestiness to it. Despite the service, the food speaks for itself, and I’d come back. If you’re looking for a solid California Burrito, this place is worth a visit!
