I love California Tortilla because the food is SUPER good there and the service is really nice they are rude or mean. The booth seats are really comfortable it has a nice texture to it and even the normal chairs super comfortable! I love this place! read more

I used to be a Cal-Tort REGULAR! Unpopular opinion... I'd pick it over Chipotle. But they closed my local location (Bradlee) so I haven't been in a while. But I've had this gift card for nearly a year. So I'm in Frederick and like let's go use up this gift card. I got my "usual" or what used to be my usual: screamin bowl. Picked it up and went to my car and looked in the bag. WHATTTT?? There was hardly anything in the bowl. I went right back in, oh yes i did, and asked for more veggies (although it could have been more everything because the bowl was so empty). I should have asked for my entire bowl to be refunded I don't even want it anymore but that wouldn't have helped my gift card situation. I feel like that's all it takes in 2024 is to skimp on portions to make me never want to return anymore. There are so many other places I would gladly give my money. I'm so glad I only have $6 left on this card because it will be my last visit. read more

My favorite was the grill melts until these Taquitos came out. The Taquitos have replace my chips and queso as my go to side for a while.

Got sick after eating there. Rude unsanitary old woman without hairnet working food line. She also never wore mask during height of pandemic. She always makes you wait past ready time for online orders. read more

We stopped here for lunch after touring houses in the area. As the restaurant was essentially empty, we were able to order and receive our food very quickly. The food was okay. I thought the "Wall of Flame" was a super fun idea, but I wish it had been fully or at least mostly stocked. It seems the restaurant is set up in an organized fashion with separate ordering and pickup stations which is helpful. read more

The service was good and the burritos okay. I was kind of disappointed in the Gogi beef burrito -- like the old Wendy's commercial, I was wondering where was the beef? It was basically rice and beans. We've eaten at California Tortilla before and was expecting the burritos to having more meat, instead of being mostly beans and rice, especially for the price. read more

I enjoyed my 3 tacos - 2 Blackened Chicken and 1 Korean Beef. Free Chips and Salsa were good too. Everything tasted so fresh. There are a lot of different options for tacos, burritos and bowls. For what they are, they do a good job! Prices are equal to Chipotle. read more

The food is always good. Looks like training is good. Service was up to par. Wish employees did not talk so loud. They seem to be too comfortable and they do not realize how they really disturb the piece of the customers. read more

Surprisingly good fast Mexican food. I love how neatly the burritos were wrapped. The only issue is the food is very salty, to the point where it's very noticeable and slightly unpleasant. read more

Love love. I'm a big fan of the tacos & the assortment of hot sauces. The queso is a big hit with the fam.

I hate to do this but I have. I just came from this place. I don't know what time anyone of authority leaves. But I work late and every time I come in employees are acting like 5 year olds. Rude doesn't start. As a black man they assumed I did not know Spanish. After I ordered my food they said every racial slur that comes to mind. Then they laughed about taking my money and ripping me off saying take what we give you in Spanish. My kids were with me. When my food was ready they whistled at me. If my kids were not there. Let's just say I'm glad my kids were there. The owner may be a good man I don't know. But this is the bottom of the barrel of employees which I would not trust to prepare the fucking thing for me god forbid my children. I threw the shit out. Great chain. HORRIBLE LOCATION read more

The food here is always so so good and comes out in a reasonable time. They give plenty of chips with queso and fill up the tacos!

We are regular patrons if this location, but today was a major miss. I order two chicken tacos and my daughter ordered the create your own tacos with chicken. Both were inedible. Whatever chicken they used was completely black and chunky and dry with fat hanging off of it. It was absolutely vile. My daughter chose to eat a hot pocket in place of her dinner. This really is unfortunate and I am not inclined to return even though we spent almost every weekend across the street with my child's soccer club. I wanted to add our order was for grilled chicken. My husband had the screaming bowl and his blackened chicken was dry and look like charcoal. Across the board it was a failure. What added insult to injury was not realizing what a colossal fail this was until we arrived home several miles away. read more

If I could give negative stars I would, I'm not one to review a lot. But this place is extremely disappointing. From incorrect discount, gave them a coupon I received for a buy one get one free entree. The "manager"-if that's what you could call this lady after waiting 10 minutes for her to walk over. Didn't know a lick of English. Told me that they don't know why the discount was not applied. (Still waiting for a refund) Now the food, we got 3 different burritos (all chicken) and we could all count on one hand how many pieces of chicken we each got. They all were full size burritos but were falling apart because of over stuffed lettuce, rice, and beans. Pretty disappointed and can see why they have been reduced down to sending out mail flyers. PS, let's not forget that one soda machine though is modern and is capable of 120+ flavors was out of 3/4s the flavors, the other would continue to run even after not pressing the button. But if you want a over priced ,store bought fudge brownie, they aren't to shabby. read more

Boiled chicken and pink in the inside, asked for no rice and they gave me rice. The chips tasted store bought not fresh. Queso was cold and not good. Decently do not recommend. read more

Great food! Fresh and hot. A better version of Chipotle, with so many menu options. A must try!

I tried a blackened chicken taco last week and it was good. I ordered last night and not only was the chicken dried out and disgusting but a huge bone was on a piece I tried to chop down on. Disgusting. Never Again read more

Stopped because I wanted a quesadilla. When I walked in one of the employees was cleaning, she stopped to make my food and after putting on gloves the lady proceeded to not only touch the quesadilla multiple times with her hands but also touch her face and every other surface possible. In addition to this they are storing bags of tortillas on top of cutting boards that have been used and still have meat on them. read more

The staff here is very friendly. They keep the location clean and well-maintained. I enjoy the hot sauce selection, about 50 bottles to choose from. The food is always fresh and well prepared. The guacamole tends to be creamy and a little salty. read more

We ordered 2 shrimp tacos and 2 chicken tacos to go. When we got home the shrimp tacos were a mess - you couldn't even close the taco and the shrimp was raw. The chicken was so over done that my husband thought he was eating some kind of burnt meat - not chicken. The cheese dip was hard and clearly stale. I was bummed I spent $50.00 on food we threw out. When I sent a note to Corporate they offered me $20.00 back. We will not be visiting this location again. They are disorganized and the lack of English skills shows as they mess up orders. read more

Today is Cinco de Mayo and because of the current global pandemic I thought hey why not order out tonight. Long story short when my food arrived via doordash it was the complete wrong order. Not one thing was correct. I am assuming that two orders were placed by people with the same name...I tried to call the restaurant directly and they were little to no help at all. They told me I would have to get in the car with my children to correct the order...its a pandemic...aren't we supposed to be staying home? The manager would not even get on the phone with me to discuss what options were available to me. The individual on the phone told me "my manager is really busy and I do not want to bother him". Terrible customer service, and terrible manager whoever was on shift at this time. Will never order from this location again! read more

California tortilla has one of my top 3 favorite salads, and my top favorite salad dressing. I always get the southwestern grilled chicken salad with honey lime dressing SO GOOD! This location is always so clean and the girl working the counter was one of the most helpful and friendly cashiers I have ever had! read more

My street tacos were kind of gross. Fast-food quality at real-food prices. Won't be coming back.

I got a blackened chicken bowl and the chicken was almost inedible. It was hard and chewy, and I had to dip it in queso to eat it. Gross. The guac is good... read more

I work next door and this is my go to for lunch. I'm vegan so I only ever get the no meato, but I'm not super picky and adding in tofu makes it delicious enough to have multiple times a week! read more

D. E. L. I. C. I. O. U. S!!!!! Blackened fish street tacos are awesome and the Carnitas verde bowl was amazing!

The dirtiest food place in all of Frederick!!! Young, very immature, under-trained staff with no supervision at all. I literally was kicking trash out of the way when walking around this place. All trash cans were full, I just left my tray. All utensils and items completely empty. All tables were nasty. To top it off a bunch of teens were in and out the entire time talking with their friends that worked there, so this kept the staff from serving wain customers. Wow!!! read more

OK fans lets see what causes this place to get the "Not if this was the last place on earth to eat award" I was (little word big meaning) a fan of this place, I was friends with the original owner, I was at the Grand Opening. But after the change over I will not (after last night) return ever, ever, ever, ever (get the point?) again. Where to begin............ I and my family of four decided to get take out. We ordered two of the new BBQ Burritos, a Blacken Chicken quesadillas, and a BBQ Burrito Bowl. What we got on the first trip was: 1) A quesadillas not fit to give to a starving dog! 2) The BBQ Bowl had (I am not kidding) maybe 4oz total of food. TOTAL! 3) All the food was luke warm at best bordering on frigid! I live less than 3min away so it was not like I traveled far and besides the heater was on (maybe that was why the bag was hotter than the food. You think?). After much debate on should we return or just suck it up. I decided to return. At that point, I drove all the way back over only to have the Manager tell me that this was what it was supposed to be like it or not. I then asked for the bowl to be made into a burrito and they were so angry that I returned, as a unsatisfied Customer, that they jammed the food into the burrito and broke it into pieces & then just wrapped it up, and handed it to me with disgust. Another cold burrito that was not really a burrito but a tortilla shredded and falling apart with cold inedible food stuff. Now I have visited the location in Mt. Airy, MD, and let me say my Yelp on that location will be Stellar. But on the Frederick location the food is horrible, the quality and standards are nonexistent and the Staff is lazy, inattentive, not Customer centric, and just plain BAD! The Store is always dirty, unclean tables when no one is in there and I have been in at different times. Overall if there was a Negative Rating it would be a negative 5.0 X 1000. In my humble opinion CAL TORT "PAM", ditch the attempts to be funny in your Taco Talk and fix the problems with your Franchise in Frederick as it is a slop house. read more

I'm not sure what it is about the CalTort franchise where the menu is the same, but the burritos taste different depending on the location. This was my first time at this location, while I have frequented the Darnestown and Bethesda CalTorts many times. The Bethesda location always makes my No-Meato burrito full of rice and barely anything else (I have stopped going there). The Darnestown location stuffs it so full of fresh ingredients that it does not taste like fast food. This place? Lots of rice and drowning in a pool of vinegary sauce. I actually didn't even know this burrito had a sauce until now. Beans and rice = flavorless (this is a problem at all 3 locations), queso and chips are fine. I think the Darnestown store should be the overisight/training ground for all the other locations. They have it down. I am being generous with the 3 stars, but I will update next time I go. It could very well go down to 2. read more

Decent burritos, a great selection of hot sauces, and some quirk from the staff and decor. I dig the crunchy BBQ ranch and buffalo wing burritos. Plus their BBQ chicken quesadilla is purty good. I would call this place good, but not awesome. This location is close to our house so we frequent the joint because of convenience as much as liking the grub. read more

Meh. Shitty quality ingredients - generic toppings and absolute garbage iceberg lettuce - at higher prices than chipotle. Only saving grace is the copious amount of hot sauce choices. The selection of hot sauce choices moves it from a low 2 to a solid 3. But seriously... Chipotle is right down the road. Go there. read more

Got to visit on my birthday! And get this -- they had put a FREE burrito on my Burrito Elito club card! Suhweet... I got a BBQ Ranch burrito (minus the ranch) and substituted pork for the chicken. Yum yum yum all the way home. Can't wait to do it again sometime. read more

Really tasty and generously-portioned Tex/Mex and Californio style Mexican American food. Salads and street tacos are my favorites. Hot sauce selection is best in town! If your sinuses need a little unplugging and your taste buds need a little love, drop in (and then head next door for ice cream). read more

Went to CalTort today for my free birthday burrito. They've revamped the menu since my last visit. I was excited to see a Korean BBQ burrito on the menu. They've also re-stocked the Wall of Fire since my last visit which made me very happy. The burrito was amazing. The Korean BBQ sauce was spot-on. It was the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Good amount of meat in my burrito as well. Chips and queso were delicious as usual. read more

I'm quite the CT coneisseur since I used to live in front of the flagship store in Bethesda. This franchise is not the one of the best, and neither is the worst (that would be Balto) Cons: 1 location in the sticks, 2 undiverse employees i.e. school kids and "culturally disadvantged caucasians" (you may refer to google for plain english translation of this politically correct term), 3 lack of city papers stacks to read (oh wait, this sisnt CT's fault, it's just Frederick...) 2 and 3 means you are on your own anti boredom devices (e.g a smart phone or some papers from work) while eating your burrito Pros: 1 very efficient employees (kids and CDC who really know how to work. must be the job crisis!) and even get to know your "usual" 2 stays open late (big reason to go after a late work night) read more

Come here for lunch every once in a while based on work proximity. They market freshness; however, flavors are accessible but somewhat bland (edit: I'm told there's no microwave). They have a harmless tex mex vibe inside with constant 80s music and a great hot sauce selection. read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! I went up to the front and as soon as they looked at me, I knew that the two ladies in the front were talking trash about me. I silently ignored and handed a coupon that I received in the mail. The Hispanic lady with blonde hair continued to roll her eyes at me. As soon I noticed that my order's price was too high, i confronted her and asked why. She replied in a sarcastic tone saying: "I'm not done honey" Worst service ever. Maybe the workers should learn to be nicer to their customers and maybe they might just get more customers in the future, honey read more
