Wow! This place is great! First time here an I think it is my new favorite Mexican food spot in my part of the bay. Started with a veggie bowl and added steak. It was delicious and fresh. I wish for more veggies but by the end of the bowl, I was quite full. Service was great and the bowl was delicious! I'll be back. read more

I haven't eaten breakfast since morning so why not come here for the first time? It's really quiet here and seems that people rather take it to go than dine here since there's only one person I saw. The place is kinda dark which is probably the reason why. I was scrolling through the menu and I noticed that some of the words were too small to read especially when they're clumped together. When I was trying to order, they were going a bit too fast by not just quickly telling me what to add next, but also added cheese to accumulate the total price of food when I never ordered it. Fast service could be as bad as slow service, because people could feel rushed. I got Al Pastor Bowl and it's really delicious though. I like how all the ingredients were blended together as I keep on eating it. My small issue is that, it wasn't kind of warm enough but not to the point where I have to microwave it. Honestly, I have forgotten what Al pastor is which is why I got it but again, I'll have to look up online what it is. Overall, the food is good but they should slow down a bit when taking customers' orders especially when they're new here. My other suggestion is to replace a menu where all words can be seen easily to read and to space them out. read more

Was craving some quick Mexican food so placed a togo order and was disappointed. The menu had good options and I was happy to see they had al pastor. I ordered the super nachitos with al pastor and was disappointed to see that they just sprinkled some shredded cheese. The al pastor was dry and tastes like it had been out all day after being cooked in the morning. There wasn't nearly enough toppings so there was a bunch of chips left and they were lowkey kind of stale in my opinion. My husband got a burrito and said it was good, however. Overall, I don't think I'd be back given there's so many other better Mexican spots nearby. read more

I was supercharging and just needed to use the restroom. They could've said for customers only but they did not. For that, you get 5 stars! If I didn't already have dinner, I would've ordered their massive burrito. A man in front of the restroom was chowing down. The restaurant seemed dog friendly as well. I'm a fan even without having a single bite. This establishment oozes kindness. Kudos to the nice girl that didn't hesitate in letting me use their clean restroom. read more

Customer service is good however, their food is mid. Ordered their carne asada tacos, chicken burrito and a Jamaica drink. -Carne asada tacos rating 5/10 (tacos were warm at best and the meat is bland, tortillas were cold too). -Chicken burrito rating 2/10 (the meat tasted old and the rice was not good). -Jamaica drink 0/10 (has a very weird taste, tasted like cinnamon potpourri). I will say that their mild salsa verde is really good and it saved the tacos but other than that it wasn't anything to come back for. read more

Friendly service, greeted right away with smiles. Staff helped explain options and agua fresca options. Ordered fish and shrimp tacos The baja style fish taco was delish, with a tangy sauce on top. It was a good size piece of fish so that protein to tortilla ratio was good. However, the shrimp taco was just okay. I didn't get alot of shrimp in my taco. I felt it had more pico de gallo than actual shrimp so that ratio was disappointing. Also, the rice that came with one of the tacos was not my favorite. Not your typical Mexican fluffy red rice. It tasted and had the texture of rice you cook in the microwave for a minute. But the service was super down to eartg and welcoming so with that combined w the fish taco, I would come back and try something else. They seem to offer a Taco Tuesday special too. Place is clean, good vibes with the music playing and easy parking! read more

Definitely a hidden gem in Newark! We had no clue what to eat and only a little bit of time to find something before my 11-year-old's game started. I wasn't feeling Chinese or Indian food, and there were a lot of those options around. While we were figuring it out, I went to UPS to drop off a return. On the drive there, I noticed Cal Eats Fresh, so I looked them up on Yelp. The pictures and videos looked delicious, so my husband decided that was the perfect choice--quick and easy. I went with the Steak and Shrimp bowl. I really liked that the shrimp were cooked on the spot, and they warmed up the steak with it, which added extra flavor. I topped it with Mexican rice, black beans, guac, sour cream, lettuce, and jalapeños. It's kind of like a Chipotle bowl where you build it as you go. I enjoyed everything except the rice--I like my rice with more seasoning. It wasn't bad, but it could have been better. The steak could have been cut into larger pieces, but that's more of a personal preference. My husband got the Chicken and Fries basket. They didn't have breaded chicken, which he was totally fine with, and he swapped the side of coleslaw for rice instead. The chicken was a little dry, and the fries could have been cooked longer. But the STAR of the show was the spicy BBQ sauce--like nothing we'd ever had before. Absolutely delicious. The service was a 10/10. The young man who helped us was friendly from the start, patient with all our questions, and seemed like he truly enjoyed working there. I made them a video to share on Instagram with pictures and videos also attached here. read more

Saw the rave reviews about cal eats fresh Mexican grill so wanted to check it out. The individual who was working was really friendly and kind. My husband ordered a burrito and carne asada taco and I ordered a shrimp and steak burrito bowl. One good thing about the food is that it was loaded with things and had a good amount of meat. But to us, it lacked a bit of flavor and did not taste like your traditional mexican food. However we were offered free chips and salsa which was nice. The place so didn't seem super kept up and wasn't very clean. But overall service was great and food was just ok. read more

First time visiting this Mexican restaurant and it was an awesome experience! The food, service, and ambiance were all fantastic. The fish tacos and steak fajita bowl were packed with flavor, and the chips and salsa were absolutely fire! Our server was super patient and friendly, which made the visit even better. Love the Bay Area Foodball fan vibes throughout the place, too. If you're charging your Tesla nearby, definitely take the short walk over--totally worth it. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

We walked in and were welcomed by the people behind the counter. It was our first time and the man who welcomed us in was very helpful. He explained the menu to us and mentioned the larger images on the wall were their best sellers. We got the fish tacos (one of their best sellers) and a breakfast burrito. They accidentally added potatoes to the breakfast burrito, but asked if it was ok, which it was, and that they wouldn't charge me extra for it. The food was so yummy so we'll be back again! We came around brunch time so it wasn't busy inside. Lots of seating available and it was clean. Definitely recommend this place. read more

We had high hopes for the family restaurant, but the food was mediocre. The taco tortillas are too big. The shrimp tacos lacked the shrimp and over done with salsa and rice. The street taco lacked flavor, the best was a the fish taco. The chips were good, but store bought. read more

This is one of the restaurants I haven't tried in the strip mall and decided to give it a try for dinner on a weekday evening. The restaurant was empty when we arrived and the employees were kind and welcoming. This restaurant is similar to Chipotle, but more expensive. They charge extra for cheese and sour cream, which was disappointing since I could get a bowl with more inclusions for cheaper elsewhere. The carne asada, however, was pretty good and they have the option between whole wheat and flour tortillas. There are bench like tables inside and it's fairly small but plenty of space to eat. read more

The service was great and the food was fresh. The server made our food right in front of us. The ingredients were delicious.

I came here after a card show and wanted to try something new. The location is quite crowded because there's a few restaurants and other business popular in the area. When I came in, it's kind of like a lunch line where you ask what you want in your food. The person working there was hella nice and she was patient with me while ordering. They had a bunch of meats on the menu and a hella add ons you can choose from. The Tacos were good, carne asada and al pastor. The burrito was good also, but I will stick to the tacos. read more

Always fresh and always good. Friendly staff. It's all made in front of you. Week day specials available. Great taco Tuesday spot!

On the search for a good Taquero in Fremont and this spot has been bookmarked for a minute. It's got the right name! Dropped in for some lunch and was greeted right away walking in, ordered couple tacos, Asada and Pastor with some frijoles con arroz. They have green salsa verde, pico and molcajete sawce. There are about 10 tables with some picnic benches in a casual aluminum siding motif. In the realm of taco trucks, this is a nice spot to be able to grab a seat inside as it's raining and enjoy a quick Mexi meal! Delicioso ! read more

I have been eating at Cal Eats for at least once every week for about a month now,and it's safe to say I keep going back because it's that good! I order the blackened fish tacos and the shrimp tacos every time. I highly recommend those two. The blackened fish taco is my favorite, it has a great smokey flavor and the sauce is amazing! The shrimp taco is the runner up. It does come with rice, which I found to be very complimentary to the shrimp. I would only say they could add more shrimp to it, but for what you pay it's definitely a steal. Chips and salsa are great too! He offers different options of salsa and they are all very delicious! My personal favorite is the avocado salsa. A lot of beverage choices, I always get the agua fresca de Jamaica. The location has plenty of parking as it is located in a shopping center. It has ample seating available and high chairs for the kiddos! What I appreciate is the owners kindness and gratitude every single time! You can tell he is proud of his food and loves what he does. He is kind and personable, if it's your first time he gives your a rundown of the menu and explains it. Definitely worth it! read more

Cal Eats Fresh Mexican Grill - Blackened Fish Taco on bottom & shrimp taco on top. - Mexican Near Me - Newark, California

Hark! Gather ye, noble travelers, wayward knights, and humble peasants alike, for I bring tidings of a most illustrious feast encountered within the walls of this fine Mexican grill. On a day most ordinary, I didst enter with a hunger fierce and unrelenting, yet I departed as one whose soul had been fed as richly as the body. Truly, this establishment is not merely a place of sustenance, but a hall of triumph, flavor, and glory. First came unto me the burrito bowl, presented as though forged by the hands of culinary alchemists. Within its vessel lay a bounty most generous: rice seasoned with wisdom of the ancients, beans soft and steadfast, and carne asada so tender that it didst surrender at the faintest touch of my fork. Each bite rang forth like the tolling of cathedral bells--bold, resonant, and unforgettable. The balance of spices was neither timid nor cruel, but perfectly measured, as if weighed upon golden scales by a king's own steward. Then, as if the gods themselves sought to test my mortal limits, there arrived the carne asada fries. Oh, sweet providence! These were no common tavern fries, nay--these were crisped spears of potato glory, buried beneath molten cheese, crowned with noble cuts of steak, and anointed with sauces most rich and divine. I found myself pausing between bites, overcome with reverence, staring upon the plate as one might gaze upon a sacred relic. Verily, I would march into battle fueled by these fries alone. Lastly came the tacos, humble in size yet mighty in purpose. Wrapped tenderly and filled with flavors that spoke of sun-drenched lands and time-honored tradition, they didst complete the holy trinity of my order. Each taco was a verse in a song of triumph, harmonizing perfectly with the feast that preceded it. The court of service must not go unpraised. The attendants were swift and gracious, bearing themselves with warmth and courtesy befitting royalty. One figure in particular did pass my gaze, and in that fleeting moment I swear destiny itself stirred, for he had gorgeous blue eyes deep as the sea that beckons me forth to sail along its icey waters. Whether knight, squire, or mere illusion of fate, the moment only added to the mythic air of the evening. In sum, this Mexican grill hath earned my eternal loyalty. I shall speak of it in hushed awe, return to it with eager heart, and recommend it to all who seek a meal worthy of legend. Long may its grills burn, its tortillas warm, and its flavors reign supreme. Five stars, without question, without hesitation, and without end. read more

The food I had here was tasty for the most part! I ordered a steak and shrimp bowl. You choose your bowl toppings (from rice to beans to salsa etc) the way you would do so at Chipotle. While your bowl is getting assembled, a worker will cook your choice of meat on the stovetop right behind. I loved that the meat was freshly prepared! The steak and shrimp was really tasty and savory. It balanced well with all the other fixings like lettuce, pico, etc. Also, they definitely have more tender meat than Chipotle! AND for a better price! However, my mom did say that her fajita bowl was way too salty and she ended up not finishing it. Workers were very friendly and quick with our orders. The interior is pretty small and not the coziest but I figure this place would be really popular for takeout orders. IG: chelchomps read more

Ordered from here on door dash, food came quick and was nice and hot. My burrito was flavorful and just big enough to be full but not overstuffed. I will definitely order from there again. The amount of customization options and how easy it was to build my perfect burrito is awesome. Being as I have only ever had it delivered I can't tell you about the customer service or restaurant/restroom cleanliness. Definitely recommend it if you're craving a burrito. read more

It was pretty mid. I was expecting more out of it but it was kind of bland and they didn't have any creativity.

First time here and was impressed how clean and new the place looked. The staff was friendly and our food came out quickly. Their street tacos are a decent size (actually bigger than most). We were really impressed with everything we ordered. Will be adding them to our rotation. What we ordered: + Al Pastor burrito - you can order this with Spanish rice, and it really works. The burrito was not huge, but a decent size. However, they don't skimp on the meat. Very good flavor. + Blackened fish tacos - the fish was really good. It had a smokey flavor and it was a nice meaty piece of fish (grilled). Came with double tortilla. + Chicken street taco - good but too much raw onions. After scraping off the onions, I really enjoyed this. Would be better if they doubled the tortilla because it started to fall apart at the end. + Al Pastor street taco - very good and they give you lots of meat. Again, would have like double tortilla, but still very good. read more

Tried out their carne asada bowl and food was overall good and made fresh to order in front of you. The prices are very affordable and of good portion as well. My only knack is the lettuce and salsa can make the bowl a bit watery towards the bottom.

My husband and I were in the area and were craving tacos! The Yelp was solid so we gave this place a shot. My husband got three tacos-chicken, beef, and Al pastor. I got one Al pastor as I had a small appetite! The guy that took my order was so nice and gave me my taco free! M Our tacos came out pretty fast and I loved the Al pastor one. It was so flavorful and juicy! My husband loved all his tacos as well and overall they were such a big hit. I wish I lived closer so I could indulge more often! Also the prices were super affordable without sacrificing quality. Loved it! read more

I saw the pictures and rave reviews on Yelp and that was what brought me in. What a complete disappointment! I ordered a salad with blackened fish. There was nothing special about the salad at all. There was no spinach or any leaves that looked green. Not crisp or fresh at all. The fish was very lack luster. The avocado and dressing that came with it was was ok, but there was nothing special enough that I experienced here to bring me back. Definitely not worth the money. One and done for me. read more
