    California burrito with a side of rice
    Celia V.

    This just opened where there used to be a KFC (good riddance). This place is so much better! I ordered the California burrito with a side order of rice. About 15 bucks, which was very fair considering the size of the burrito. The burrito contains carne asada, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, onions, cilantro, and fries. Definitely one of the best California burritos I've ever had. The meat was well seasoned, and all the ingredients seemed fresh. The salsas are very good, the red was my personal favorite. Had a really nice kick! The rice was good, just your standard Mexican rice. The only downside was the wait time for the food. That would not stop me from coming back to try other menu items.

    If you're looking for bold, crave-worthy Mexican food, Cali Taco definitely hits the spot. Their birria tacos are juicy and packed with flavor, and the rolled tacos are crispy, cheesy perfection--especially the Cali Rolled Tacos, which might just be addictive. Every bite is a solid reminder of why this place stays busy. The only downside? The dining room and ordering area are pretty tight. It can feel a little crowded, especially during rush hours, so it's not the most comfortable spot to sit down and relax. That said, the food more than makes up for it, and it's definitely worth grabbing to-go if you want to enjoy those tacos in a more spacious setting. Overall, Cali Taco delivers delicious, satisfying food that keeps you coming back--just maybe plan to eat it elsewhere.

    Opening night at the Mesa location so there was a DJ and free giveaways, it was a great vibe and excellent service like the other locations. By far one of the best taco spots in AZ. The menu is immense and so far everything we have had has been great. Have been eating Cali Tacos for years and I am happy they are finally out in Mesa.

    Look at these .If you want you eat your food all thrown in the tray with no care, go here. And we called to talk to them and they deny it!

    Don't throw the food in tray with no care..and take accountability for mistakes. I know we are not going back.

    I decided to try this place since I was craving tacos. They had a deal on Uber eats for buy 1 get 1 free 3 tacos which comes with rice and beans. I ordered Carne asada tacos and the Birria Tacos. I ordered The Birria crunchy tacos and the Consome/Broth to dip them. The portions and amount of meat they put in the tacos is good. As a conisouier of Birria I was excited to try theirs. The downside is the Birria meat used in the tacos and the Consome tasted like Tap/Faucet water. The taste just overpowered all of the other flavors and I couldnt get around it. The Carne asada tacos looked like ground beef. Idk if they used a different cut of meat but I'm used to traditional Flap steak or Skirt steak for Carne Asada. Maybe the other menu items are good but unfortunately I wont be back since the tacos were a deal breaker.

    We were ar the stop light after picking up all the fixings to grill our own asada tacos for the Memorial Day weekend holiday when I saw this place after flipping a U turn we ended up in the drive thru with the other cars. Now I do have to admit the girls working the window were knocking out the orders to go. Where I'm hitting the review with my three stars was the asada the staple for both of these meals for $20 the Carne Asada was super dry on my tacos it was dry like dehydrated meat then you add two super dry tacos to put the meat into i honestly had a hard time swallowing the stuff even with avocado sauce on them. The beans and rice were super I enjoyed them alot. The Cali burrito my boyfriend found to be really greasy. Now I'm from California so I'm use to French fries being in a burrito but it was on the greasy side and considering how expensive it is to eat out now a days we didn't find it worth the peso. The staff on the other hand were kind this place just wasn't for us.

    The burritos, horchata, and kids meals are awesome! A great place to grab food through the drive thru or dine in with the family!

Their plates are also huge, i've gotten the breakfast steak and eggs before and it comes with hot, generous portions. They make great tacos as well, the shrimp tacos are a must try. Workers are always friendly, it's got a super cute interior with the painted mural, and it's always clean and fresh. Highly recommend for a quick bite!

Burrito was huge but it got a little dry at the end. Cheese quesadilla was okay, might be better if we got not just plain cheese. I enjoyed it with the pico de gallo and the green sauce. Wish there was more pico de gallo though. They also have sauce station and pickled onions which my husband really liked. Service was quick! There was a line when we got there but the food came so fast a little after we got a table. They have drive thru too. Ambiance was great. Seats are limited and they have outdoor options. They played Mexican music which adds to the authenticity. Saw reviews that parking is limited but we got lucky, they're were still a few open spots when we came. Overall, would recommend and will come back

Out of all the restaurants I had before leaving Arizona, THIS ended up being one of the places I couldn't stop thinking about after I moved away. Ever since leaving, I've randomly craved these tacos constantly. I've tried other taco spots in Denver hoping something would compare, but honestly nothing really hit the same. So when I came back out to Phoenix recently to visit some friends, this was one of the first places I knew I needed to come back to because I had built it up so much in my head over time. And somehow... it was just as good again. The meat tastes incredibly fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and you can literally watch them prepare everything right in front of you, which makes the whole experience even better. There's something so satisfying about seeing the tacos being made fresh instead of food just appearing from the kitchen. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. The servers were also super friendly and welcoming both times I came here, which honestly makes such a difference. Everyone had great energy, the service was quick, and the whole place just feels inviting and authentic. I honestly think the fact that I remembered this place so vividly for so long says everything. Usually when you revisit a restaurant after hyping it up in your head for years, it ends up disappointing you. But this place tasted exactly how I remembered it, fresh, flavorful, comforting, and absolutely worth the obsession. Safe to say this place is officially a mandatory stop for me anytime I'm back in Phoenix now.
