This place gets way too low of a rating for how good it is there's always going to be exceptions like everybody's taste we understand that but I've tried every place in this city many times the price the value and the taste are superb now I know things happen maybe somebody got serious something cold or something happened to help her but I think that's we got to keep places two or three or four times before you give him a review that's bad and it depends on your taste too on what you really want your tacos at California Burrito their breakfast they're always crowded so without a tell you something that's a great place and it's so much better price and better quality food than all these other tacos places by far and I'm not talking about the taco places on the street that I don't monitored and use the cheapest beef they can find and stuff like that I'm talking about I love Mexican restaurants this one does a great job had a great price

I've only been to this location once, my husband, child, and I were passing by and we saw a sign that said 1 Tacos so we figured why not give it a try lol. We did, and omg I regret not coming to this place before. The food was delicious! I didn't catch the cashiers name, but he was VERY friendly and nice he provided a lot of information regarding the menu and specials going on during the week. They have 3 12oz beers, margaritas, they definitely have a lot and we will come back to try the rest of their menu. The ambiance was really nice, including the customers. So far I can say I recommend this restaurant 100% we spent 5.53 for 5 Tacos, which now a days it’s UNHEARD of lol

This place never fails to satisfy. Everything is so tasty and the beers are cold. Vegan options are amazing as well. My girlfriend is vegan and this is one of her favorite places to eat

They are the best... i am pescatarian and was happy that they dont use lard in their rice, beans, or frijoles... the grilled shrimp tacos are the best, so are the shrimp burritos . Every Friday is breakfast burritos..ask them to add frijoles in place of meat.. and ask for red salsa inside..you wont be disappointed.
