    Receipt for a Carne Asada cali burrito and Carne Asada cali fries. Xtra charge for asada
    Heidi C.

    Food is good. Price though have gone up if you look at menu 10 months ago compared to now. Plus the additional cost for Asada also increased.

    Angel Burrito cut in half
    Kayla D.

    Cali tacos always hits the spot. Our favorite thing to get is the Angel Burrito with carne asada. Often times we order ahead on the phone, and pay with credit card once we get there. The burrito itself used to be only $16 but now the price has shot up to around $20 which makes it a bit less value than it used to be, but it is still very good to eat. We like to get it cut in half to share between the both of us, and even still that half of a burrito is two meals worth for me. You can get two types of salsa (red and green), along with their signature Cali Sauce, that is tasty no matter what. They also have self-serve pickled carrots/onion/peppers and I really enjoy their onions the most out of the three options. The restaurant has an indoor and a small outdoor seating area, and is very casual. The service is quick and great especially if you take the time to order beforehand, and even if you don't it only takes about 15 minutes or so for the kitchen to make your food. I prefer the Santa Ana location in comparison to the Orange location as I feel that the Cali Tacos in Orange gives you a slightly smaller angel burrito even though they are the same price.

    Great service and excellent quality breakfast burrito with spicy red and green salsa. Of course you have to ask for extra cali orange sauce cause it's that good and goes so well with every tasty bite. Real authentic Mexican American cuisine right here in Santa Ana home to the largest Mexican community next to Los Angeles of course. You definitely gottzzz to try your luck and go for the big fat juicy fresh hot Cali burrito and quesadillas today. A Big Bright future in 2026. So Good!! Happy Thursday everyone!!

    Supreme Burrito with basically any protein = awesome, so satisfying
    Laura H.

    Carnitas Supreme Burrito is an absolutely amazing meal that's savory and has great textures. Chicken and carne asada Supreme Burritos were ok. I appreciated that Cali Tacos' Supreme Burrito doesn't have rice or fries in it. I do love that they're also a bit creamy due to the sour cream, guac, and shredded cheese inside. Honestly, these don't even need Cali Sauce because they're satisfying on their own, but Cali Sauce definitely adds a delicious zing. The sheer size of these burritos make it worth your money; half of one is filling enough when I'm hungry after work. A Supreme Burrito is about $15, and I believe there's an additional charge for carne asada. Breakfast burrito with ham and bacon were super salty and yummy. The fish burrito had chopped cabbage and pico de gallo, and it was decent. Both of these went very well with Cali Sauce, though I'd wouldn't get the fish burrito again since it's not as flavorful as the others. These costed slightly less than a Supreme Burrito and were nearly as massive. Parking lot is small, but I usually am able to find a spot during the work week. Seating is available inside, and it's a no-frills casual spot that's easy for solo lunching. Service is good; the lady at the front is knowledgeable about the menu and tries to make things as quick as possible during peak hours. Food comes out in a reasonable amount of time, too.

    For size reference lol

    If you want a BURRITO, definitely go to Cali Tacos because they do not play around! Their Angel burrito is only a few bucks more than their other burritos and it is MASSIVE...like easily 2-3 meals massive. I had a full day of plans that I had to postpone because of the food coma this burrito put me in!! Definitely want to try their other items next time but their Angel burrito and breakfast burritos did not disappoint!

    Massive burrito! If you're looking a big portion Mexican spot, this is it. We shared the California burrito which was massive. It lasted us a few days. Obviously it's best when it's fresh. The fries are crunchy, the meat is succulent. I wish they did put a little more guacamole though. And definitely ask for a bunch of salsa. Verde, chipotle mayo, and a diablo type sauce. All are good!

    Chorizo potato breakfast burrito
    Frank P.

    I was craving a breakfast burrito and ordered the Chorizo potato burrito. I wish I cut the burrito in half to get a good picture. The one I took doesn't do the burrito justice. This thing probably weighs close to 3lbs. ts huge and delicious. They give you Cali. sauce on the side but I really liked the spicy sauce from the bar. Fr lighter eaters this burrito could feed two. This is one of the best breakfast burrito in Orange County.

    Cali Fries with Carne Asada
    Christal M.

    For some reason it's really hard to find good carne asada fries in OC but this place serves some of the better ones as well as huge burritos. The original location is in Orange but this one is bigger and has more indoor seating. They also have cute taco art on the wall. The menu is pretty straightforward with burritos, tacos, quesadillas, nachos and fries with your choice of meat. They weren't too busy on a weekday afternoon so it took maybe 10 min. for our food to be ready. Of course we had to get the Cali Fries ($17.45) and because we were feeling extra gluttonous we also got a Supreme Burrito ($14.99) and Bean & Cheese Burrito ($8.99). The Cali Fries are smothered with cheese, sour cream and guacamole just the way I like them. The price has gone up though and I don't like that they charge $0.85 more for carne asada. The Supreme burrito had a lot of pollo asada along with cheese, guacamole, sour cream, lettuce and pico. It's definitely big enough to share. Their Bean & Cheese burrito is decent and has a lot of cheese. Don't forget to ask for their Cali sauce. It's a smokey, creamy sauce that goes great with everything. Also visit their salsa bar for the green sauce. It's a cilantro salsa with just the right amount of kick. It's hard to beat the Mexican food in San Diego, but this place does a pretty good job of satisfying the cravings.

    angel fries with adobada
    Alberto R.

    First time here and I got the Angel Fries with Adobada. 10/10! So good! The cotija on top was a nice touch! They also had a salsa bar with chiles and carrots Definitely coming back. Service was also quick even though it was busy!

    Bacon and sausage
    Amanda R.

    Finally found a breakfast burrito spot!! It's a bit pricey, but the burrito is big and packed, you could definitely split one between two people.

    The Angel Burrito
    Daniel L.

    This is the largest burrito I have ever seen. It's a good price for how much food you get. This is the Angel Burrito which comes with shrimp and your choice of meet, I chose asada. It's a saucey burrito which I like, but it also is fries. I'm not a big fan of having fries in my burrito. I guess I should order it without fries. But it's a decent burrito and fun to eat because it will probably be the biggest you've ever seen too. It's pretty good and you will have leftovers. I will try it without fries next time and do another review.

    Kimmie W.

    Late night dinner- THE Cali burrito with carne asada, beans, cheese, french fries -guac and sour cream on side. Never had french fries in my burrito - was skeptical but after a few promptings from my friends I gave in. Hands and toes down best burrito ever ---the addition of the beans made it taste ten times better!!! Cali taco is one of a kind- the handmade burritos will blow your mind!!! I am throughly impressed at the size, the amount packed in the burrito and the tangy chipotle based Cali sauce. Service was a 10/10. Will definitely tell a friend about the burritos at CALI TACO!!!!

    Diana R.

    We love picking up food from here whenever we have a craving for a burrito or fries. On this particular day, the young lady who helped me was very friendly and kind. She was the nicest person I've encountered at this location. I think her name started with an M. Thank you for being so pleasant. We usually get the Carne Asada Cali burrito, Cali fries, either with chicken or Carne Asada (huge portions and usually last us another meal or two). We get it with the guacamole on the side and it usually crisps up well in the air fryer. I also enjoy the fish taco. One fish taco is usually enough for me since it is loaded with fish and cabbage. We also get the rolled tacos sometimes which is filled with shredded beef and topped with melted cheese. We asked for the guacamole on the side so that we can heat it up later if needed. Best to exercise the next couple days after eating here.

Thanks to Restaurant Week, we stumbled upon this gem, and we are so grateful. The hospitality alone would earn five stars. But then came the food. The tacos? Absolutely exceptional. The steak was tender and flavorful in a way that reminded me of eating throughout Mexico, you could actually taste the meat. A light, gentle pickle of vegetables on top, minimal cheese, nothing heavy or greasy. These are not the American-style tacos drowning in a pound of melted cheese. These are the real thing. The beans were lovely, the rice was solid, and my passion fruit winearita drink was genuinely a treat. Restaurant Week gave us the perfect low-pressure reason to try somewhere new, and we walked out with a new favorite. We'll be back for lunch. We'll be back for dinner. And yes, Taco Tuesday, we'll absolutely be back for that.
