My son and I went to the one on Slater Kinney. Great food and service was quick. Although there were many people there, we were in and out in like 7 mins. I would and will go again. read more

I will preface this by saying that I don't normally order flautas so may not be the best judge. But I really enjoyed them. Chicken was not dried out, they were perfectly crispy on the outside and crunchy. I will get these again! Wasn't crazy about the "sour cream," because it tasted like mayo but the guac tasted fresh! Also loved the red sauce drizzled on top. You do get 5, there are just two missing in my photo. We couldn't wait lol! read more

Tacos California - Chicken flautas - Mexican Near Me - Olympia, Washington

We came and got food for our family of 6. The Lengua tacos were great . The down side was the onion and cilantro on the side was forgotten. So I sent my Husband back. Then had to send him back a second time for silverware to eat the rice and beans. The rice was good . The beans tasted burnt and not edible the salsas were great the red one had great heat and flavorful . The torta was great . It was big and flavorful. read more

Had 2 Carne asada street tacos. $5.60 tax included. Beef is seasoned well but the dollop of hot sauce on top brings the heat. Off street parking. Courteous, patient order taker. read more

I moved up here from Pacoima in Los Angeles, a place where the sidewalk in front of Target is lined with taco trucks and the curb in front of the Rite Aid is where you go for the most legit Mexican hot dogs, so it's no insult if I say the flavors at this truck are okay. They really chop up the meat instead of there being fair sized chunks which is what I'm used to. Love that the burrito is a full sized burrito. Not the same fat burritos that you'd get in the Mission District in San Francisco, but you feel like you're getting your money's worth. The great thing about this place though is that there are a few stationary trucks around it and they share bench style picnic tables so there's a nice laid back vibe there if you just want to hang out. Plus if you want a little of this or that, you can grab an arepa, some dolmas, and wash it down with a boba or cider from the other businesses there. read more

Tacos California - Look for this truck - Mexican Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Horrendous. Ordered Lengua supreme burrito and carnitas burrito. 2 soda and chips. $45 for two. At a Mexican food cart. Tasteless burritos with wilted lettuce inside. Cheese in the Lengua burrito (why don't they ask or tell you what's inside?) Both burritos dry, could barely stomach them. I've been eating burritos for my entire life at food carts, these were by far the worse. And then, the kicker. Asked for some hot sauce and they want to charge even more. After hammering me for $45, they want to charge for a thimble of hot sauce. Most places give it to you, free, with your order. Surprised they didn't charge for napkins. Overall bad experience, can't recommend. read more

As far as comfort foods go, these burritos are fire! It's the size of a four month old kitten, and has the perfect proportion of fillings. I'll be coming back here again soon, as my partner stole a bite of the burrito he got me and immediately regretted not getting one for himself read more

We ordered a California Burrito, 2 lengua tacos, and 3 carne asada tacos. The cali burrito was mostly lettuce with cheese, not crispy fries, meat that wasn't carne asada, and avocado. We didn't realize that lettuce came in cali burritos in Washington. If it wasn't for the lettuce, the burrito would have been tiny. The 2 lengua tacos were FANTASTIC!!! Meat was so tender and juicy! The seasoning was just right! All the tacos were served with red salsa, lime, and carrots. The salsa was also good. The 3 carne asada tacos were not good. The meat was almost like a cross between ground beef and beef stew. The flavor was good, but the texture was all wrong. Also, we tried to order el pastor tacos and they said we couldn't order just the tacos, we had to get the plate. We spent $26 and change plus a tip for 1 burrito and 5 tacos for reference. (The burrito does cost more than a taco given it has a lot more than just a taco). The truck was the busiest one out of all the trucks that park there in a Saturday around noon. We will be going back to try some other things off the menu. read more

In the past this place was unmatched. I came back after a few years and it seems to have gone down hill.

Call ahead - closes early! A couple weeks ago we went to the 4th ave location at 6:30, they were posted as open until 8, and they had already gone home. This is the second time I've tried to go there around 6 and they were already closed. I've only had food from this location once, but that was probably because I ordered online and picked it up around 5:15 immediately after work. It tasted great. Parking isn't as bad as it looks. I like that there are several trucks, picnic tables, and a little cider house in the same location. read more

Ordered delivery using ChowNow. Saw the reviews and thought heck I could use a good Carne Asada and Al Pastor Taco. Boy what a waste of $50. So I am from Southern California and I love street tacos and burritos. If you are trying to get an authentic California style taco or burrito, consumer beware, this is not it. I wish I could give 20 negative stars. The food was so stale, old, and hard. My mouth literally rejected me from chewing and swallowing any of the food, I think the fear of getting sick. Here is what we ordered: Carne Asada Tacos, Al Pasta Tacos, Regular Torta with Al Pastor, Regular Burrito with Carne Asada, Mulitas, and Fries. Carne Asada and Al Pastor Meat was soooo tough it almost appeared to have been cooked hours ago and reheated for our order. I was afraid of getting my family and I from getting sick so we didn't eat any of the food. I contacted ChowNow for a refund. But got Doordash and they weren't much help. Eventually called the food truck and spoke to Danny. He said I had to bring the food back in order to get the refund. Guess he didn't trust me when I literally called him after 10 mins of the food being delivered. When I arrived at the food truck Danny tried to blame the DoorDash driver for missing the Coke. Its always the restaurant or business to ensure the order is complete not the driver. I would stay away from this location of Taco California. Not sure of the others. Not sure how the food from here is "Authentic Mexican" read more

MSG disaster!! Who thinks a fajita burrito would have MSG??? What the heck are they thinking putting that poison in our food? I was sick for 5 days with migraine, intense headache, fatigue, and nausea. Are we living in the 1970's? I tried calling their office numerous times with no success. Anyone who doesn't want to fill their brain with toxins BEWARE! Any healthy eaters RUN! At minimum, they should put a warning in the window so nobody get sick from MSG allergy like me. STOP USING MSG !!! YOU ARE HURTING PEOPLE!! read more

Best Mexican food in the area, hands down. Menu is simple (its a food truck), but with an item called Mulitas that I've never seen anywhere else - a tasty gluten-free option - very filling. Also outstanding carnitas. read more

California Tacos, now with 4 locations! Olympia, Downtown, Lacey, and Tanglewild. How informative their flashy light board thing mounted on the inside of the taco truck is! This one is just like the others: yummy, cheap, fast, and filling. Unlike the others, this is located dangerously close to my house. Dangerous for my waistline that is. It's in the parking lot with the Filling Station Espresso, right by a little spot with the Star Wars mural and a couple tables. For some reason the meat doesn't seem as good at this one compared to the Lacey and Westside ones though. The adobada isn't as spicy, and the chicken is a little overcooked. They are also terrible, terrible people for misleading me with a sign saying they have Aguas Frescas, when really, they carry no Horchata, Tamarindo, or Jamaica. read more

Super tasty! Great food truck. We loved these tacos and nachos. Fast and nice service.

Not real impressed - ordered a chicken burrito and it was packed with rice and beans. There was about 5 small pieces of chicken for 6.99. I hate it when they pack a burrito with filler and skimp on meat. Cheese quesadilla for daughter was 4.95z Expensive for whAt you get. read more

Burritos are so so so good! Tacos are good too. But a burrito deluxe wet with sauce is so dang good! Highly recommend!

Best carnitas and marinated pork tacos I've ever had! Fast service and great price as well, I came back after 3 days from my loop around the peninsula just to get more tacos. 10/10 read more

Excellent burrito! Split the California carne asada burrito, and was not only stuffed, but so impressed. As a Californian, giving rave reviews is hard for Mexican in Washington, but this spot more than deserves it! read more

Love the TACOS HERE they are always over stuffed and there meat is so good. They also make amazing burritos. Price is good you definitely get more than what you pay for. read more

Food is good but drinks are expired! I drank 7 month expired Coca Cola before checking expiration date since it tasted so flat! Ugh

came here last night for the first time and i must say this is by far the BEST Carnitas i've had in olympia and the kid still took my order even after they were closed which was very nice on a empty stomach i would highly recommend this place to anyone passing by read more

Today I flew in there on my lunch break of a super packed day! I ordered my Burrito and threw a tip in the tip jar and ran out of there. Two hours later I realized that I accidently threw the only $20 bill I had in the tip jar! That $20 was for my daughters school pictures being taken TODAY!!! In utter panic I ran back down there and explained the situation to the man whom at first tried to tell me he only had $1's. With tears in my eyes I asked him to believe me and showed him the Picture order form. With just a little hesitation the man gave me back my $20 and I put in what I originally meant to give him. My next visit there I will leave him a very deserving generous tip! Thank you Taco Truck Guy! read more

I discovered the taco truck on the corner of 4th and Plum a while a go now. It never disappoints for an affordable (around $5) burrito for lunch or an early dinner. The flavors are always great with a good amount of kick. Having read the first review I will have to check out the other locations. read more

As a Californian, this food truly reminds me of home! Their burrito blows most other chains out of the competition (I'm talking to you Chipotle). I had to eat if for two meals! I also appreciate when I ask for avocado inside my burrito, there is literally half an avocado in there, not just 2 or three measly sliced slivers. I'm definitely headed back...maybe today. Yeah. Today. read more

Hands down some of the best Mexican food in town. Not only that but this specific truck is hands down the best out of the other California taco trucks in town. Edgar and Angel will make some of the most authentic and tasty Mexican food and at a super affordable price. I have to admit I eat here almost once a week, this place will have me as a customer for a long as I live in Washington! I highly recommend the street tacos but be careful they are addictive! Always consistently my favorite place in town! read more

Good people, great tacos. what else needs to be said? the sopes are especially tasty. read more

I don't know what I'd do without these guys. Their food is so good that I could eat it exclusively and never get bored with it. And they manage to deliver high quality with fast service. 5/5 all the way. read more

Amazing everytime! I love how inexpensive and quick they are. I usually get the chicken burrito cut in half to split with a friend and sometimes a marinated pork taco. Seriously worth checking out. **Also, dont worry about getting food poisening lol. My friend hates getting food from truck food stands but I've never once gotten sick from here, nor has anyone else that I've heard :) read more

Really good food truck. The food is good and spicy. If there's a line just wait, because they're fast but most importantly the food is worth the wait. read more

Great food...fast service...The staff was amazing...The prices were reasonable...I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants authentic tacos...All from a food truck...lol.... read more

Today was my final day here unfortunately. I have been coming here since it first opened. I ventured off my normal and wanted a Mulita. It comes with Avocado (1.25 if u purchase on the side). I wanted to substitute it for sour cream (.99 on the side). I was shocked that I wasn't allowed to do that. Very unprofessional and was told they couldn't because they don't have a substitution button on their register and they have to track everything. I guess if that's what you call customer service. I would've had to pay extra for it instead of substituting. You guys lost a very loyal customer today. I will be recommend everyone that comes my way to Ramirez. read more

Very nice taco truck. The price is good too and there's plenty of selection. Service is fine.

Best Mexican food in Olympia. Period! No frills and reasonably priced. No tex mex here. WAY better than Quality Burrito.

I grew up in San Francisco and frequented ALL of the Mission district's best burrito joints. This truck makes the best burritos outside the birthplace of the modern foil-wrapped burrito. Sure, it lacks the ambience of the Mission's drug dealers, panhandlers, and street walkers, but it more than makes up for this shortcoming by providing delicious bulk value. If La Parrilla Suiza (now Taqueria Cancún) was a perfect 10 and El Faro is an 8, then this taco truck ranks a solid 9. My rating is based solely on the only thing I ever order: a regular carne asada burrito with extra onions. read more

Reminds me of the Southern California corner taco shops. Cheap, quick, authentic-style Mexi fast food. Highly recommended.

Best Goddamn Mexican food in Oly! Now this still Isn't the best Mexican food I've ever had, but for Olympia I'm more then pleased. The prices are great, and the foods delicious. I probably find myself here about 3-4 times a week and I never stray from the Mexican Sausage, or the Marinated Pork. read more

As an Angeleno from CA, these tacos didn't really stand out to me. They were whatever. Not too bad, but not so good. The staff was nice, hence the 3 stars. read more

Pure mexican street food. Just carne asada, rice, beans, salsa, cilantro rolled into a tortilla. That equals awesome. Some good quality tacqueria on wheels food! What would make it perfect is if it had horchata. Then It might merit a 5 star. They do however, have mexican coke (if you're into that). The prices are cheap, the food is great. Me gusta tacos de california! read more
