Food was delicious and hot! Service was fast and employees were kind. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be coming back!

I don't ever like to post negative reviews but this morning left me feeling very hungry and upset. We went pretty much right at opening time. We got 1 breakfast burrito with fries and add cilantro and another breakfast burrito with chorizo and bacon. We got home and opened our burritos, cut them in half and they both had bacon and fries in them - already wrong. I don't eat red meat and so I could not eat this at all. They also added sour cream, avocado, and lettuce all of which don't come on the breakfast burritos and we didn't ask for. We went back to get the fry burrito corrected (my husband said he would just eat his) and they were very confused about what was supposed to be on it. He asked if we wanted beans and sour cream??? My husband verbally told the man what the menu said was on the breakfast burrito (eggs, rice, and cheese). And then we got home and cut into the new burrito and it was loaded with peppers and onions (didn't ask for) as well as the same sour cream, lettuce and avocado. At this point we ended up just throwing away the burritos and giving up. We definitely won't be back again. read more

Oh man this place is delicious. Lowkey upset at myself I'm only just now trying it and we've lived here years. The California burrito was amazing, the carne asada was fresh and tasty. Tacos definitely on point. Horchata was best I've had in Washington so far. Perfect amount of cinnamon, although I tend to like it heavier on cinnamon side than most. Least liked was the sope dough but still worthy of a 5 star review (: read more

Ordered their breakfast burrito last night. It is usually a very good burrito but when I took a bite of it I got the disgusting taste of wet lettuce. I don't know a whole lot, but I do know that a burrito with eggs and bacon in it should not have wet lettuce. No big deal, makes mistakes. I called and they told me they would fix it so I went back and picked up the replacement. It was better, to be sure, but there was something that I don't normal care for in my burritos: grease. Piles and piles of oily grease inside the burrito that made it impossible to finish. I'm not saying don't go to this location, because they usually do make a good burrito. I would advise that you check your order before you bring it home. Yeah read more

I have drove past these food trucks for years. Then they started multiplying! One day my son was in the mood for a burrito and wanted to go to a chain taco spot across the street. We have no had great experiences there so I suggested we could go to the California Taco truck and get a better burrito for less money. Soooo...we gave it a try. We ordered the burrito with carne asada. Which, at the time, there was no up charge on steak. I believe there is one now. Food was ready pretty quickly. The burrito is big...takes two hands! It could use a little more flavor...on the bland side, but still a great value. I wish they wouldn't charge extra for more salsa. Our burrito place closer to home has a complimentary salsa bar complete with jalapeños, radishes, marinated onions and cabbage...so we are kind of spoiled with that. Since our first visit...we have been back at least three times and have turned on our friends and family to the food here. We will keep coming and trying out more items on the menu. This is a good place...decent prices and quality. I see now that it looks like you can even place your orders online for pick up! I am excited about that. Keep up the good work guys! read more

One of the best burritos my husband and I have ever had! They were HUGE! I got the veggie, he got the chorizo and the 3 meat, DELICIOUS. Our daughter got the cheese nachos and we kept stealing them, the chips look homemade. We got salsa verde and it was super good. Definitely making this a regular stop on our road trips! The service was great, went 6/11/23 at 7pm. He was super nice and made the best food! The price for 3 HUGE burritos and regular nachos was $47, totally worth it. Eat here! We need one up north in Snohomish Co please! read more

Dear California tacos I have a bone to pick with you. As I ordered my food today I was like I've never had an enchilada from here so maybe I have to give it a try then I noticed that the enchiladas the very first selection was Mexican enchiladas then further down was regular enchiladas however the regular enchiladas are actually Americanized enchiladas and I don't believe that you should have to qualify Mexican enchiladas considering enchiladas are in fact Mexican food on the other you should have to qualify Americanized enchiladas so shouldn't it be enchiladas in American enchiladas that would probably be the better way to advertise that that being said California tacos absolutely love it or fix your f****** menu read more

I ate at a taco truck a few years ago in Olympia, WA and ordered a chicken burrito. They served me chicken that was all dried up. I won't ever eat at any food truck again. They ruined all food trucks for me. Every time I see a food truck I think of dried up food. read more

Update; The vendor has responded below to which I must rebut much of what he has stated. No, I never spoke to him, nor did I yell at him or anybody else. (The Mgr of the Venue chewed on them as she felt it was a reflection on them as they had recommended them) I was assured by my contact Savilli, the vendor would arrive and be set up 30 minutes prior to the time to begin serving the food. (Actual arrival was 13 minutes prior to when they were to serve the food) I even met with and spoke to another employee who said they would arrive and be set up early the day of the wedding. My final recommendation is the owner take responsibility for their own missteps and work to resolve them going forward. *Clear voice-mail boxes each evening so they aren't full when people call after hours. *Show up when you say you will *Send legible documents the 1st time *Return calls when you say you will, this was an ongoing issue for months leading up the the wedding. Even our photographer told me AFTER the they had arrived this vendor has a habit of arriving late. Our event was the 3rd time he personally knew of they had been late. The reason (important) I requested the food cards to be resent is they were illegible. I could not and would not give them to our guests to fill out if they couldn't READ them. *sort of important I think. Lastly to try to act as if the workers were treated poorly is ludicrous. We were nothing but nice to them once they arrived as we did not want any further complications or issues. Again, this company has the makings of a great business, but when you blame your customers for your own issues it makes me rethink my prior statement. I have never spoken to you directly, certainly have never yelled you, to say I did is quite unsettling, especially when my review below was actually nowhere near as bad as it "Could have been". ________________________________ I have thought about this review for nearly a week now to make sure I am not overreacting. We hired this company for our daughter's wedding reception. (*they were even recommended by the wedding venue) The food, was amazing. Service during the reception was fantastic and fast. Now for the constructive feedback; Communication was horrific for a business. From start to finish it was a nightmare. I nearly switched catering prior to the event but did choose to stay with them as they had been highly recommended by the venue. Many times when you call the office the voice mailboxes are full and you are unable to leave messages. We were assured on more than one occasion we would get something in the mail or via email however we would need to follow up as these things were not being accomplished. This is an enormous issue and if resolved they would be an unbeatable caterer. This company has so much potential. Lastly, and this is big. They showed up at our event 13 minutes before they were expected to serve our guests food. We expected them to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to serving, needless to say, this caused significant panic in the moment. When I called them, all I got was voice-mail with a full mailbox. So while they had amazing food, and quick service they need to be more attentive to the details of the administrative portion of their business. read more

Stopped by here to get some tacos for the kids and two adults . Everything is drenched in hot sauce . We had to return the food because nobody could even think about eating if . Then the cashier argued about remaking the food . It says nothing on the board that the hot sauce just gets poured on . I'm not paying $40 for food that nobody can eat read more

Went here tonight to get dinner for my family. I ordered the Cheese Nachos with carne asada. I found this in my nachos. I will be asking about this tomorrow morning after work. I hope Martin is ready to answer my questions about this. read more

Vegetarians beware! Our family has been frequenting various local California Tacos food trucks for years ordering vegetarian burritos with extremely mixed results. We order the vegetable burrito usually with avocado, or sometimes, bean and rice burritos with avocado. Sometimes the burritos are large and well balanced with the correct ingredients and an acceptable amount of avocado, other times the burritos are much smaller, a wildly different price, missing ingredients, having only a tiny cube of avocado or -in some cases- chunks of meat! If you wind up at a truck with an unhelpful and careless team you might wind up regretting it. Like when you bring a several vegetarian bean and rice burritos (that you've been overcharged for in the first place) up to the counter, explain that they had meat in them, show them the large chunks of meat, and their response is to pick over all of the partially eaten food, "fix" only one of them pulling out the pieces of meat, reusing the foil, and then scraping the picked-over contents into a new tortilla, and then use the old foil to merely re-wrap your original food, all the while behaving as though you are inconveniencing them. They saved only a few dollars but lost an entire family of customers that ate there often. There is very little consistency from truck to truck or even at a single truck, in price, ingredients, or customer service. We have driven well out of our way to avoid trucks we've had problems with, only to find that a truck with the team that previously provided good quality and service, now had different people and standards behind the counter. We have had some really amazing and wonderful burritos from them, and also some that were just really awful and upsetting, made worse by appalling customer service. It's sad because we really love some of the more authentic street food flavors available from their food trucks, and we always tip generously because it isn't an easy job and we appreciate good food, but I am going to be actively seeking out other places to order our food from now on because I literally never know what I'm going to get when I order there, and this last situation where they picked through my food and then handed it back to me, was both unsanitary, cheap, and unforgivable treatment of good customers. It's really too bad because the great burritos we've had from them were so good and, while not cheap, they were acceptably priced for good quality - they kept us coming back even though we had some real crummy experiences when something just wasn't right. If they could only offer more consistent quality with better customer service it would only help them to succeed. I am really sad and disappointed that we will not be going back, but I can't believe how they picked through my food. A vegetarian is really not OK with a restaurant that picks the meat off of their vegetarian food, then hands it back to them. I can't imagine that being ok if it were peanuts or allergens or un-kosher or un-halal or whatever. That was the final straw. Adios Tacos California, we are looking for a better burrito. read more

I always order the same thing, 8 tacos, just meat and tortillas, they always fuck it up. Always. I only go there because my kids like it, when they get the order right, meat and tortillas, not a plate of bullshit with all the toppings, read more

Bad service! The meat for the asada tacos is very bad . I think that it is the #1 worst restraint for Mexican food , because the real Mexican food is very good, but I don't recommend tacos California . read more

I know people go to Mexican restaurants and automatically think they're gonna get tacos or burritos. But please give these Chicken Flautas a try! they are deep fried chicken taquitos that lay on top of a delicious tomato sauce and are topped with sour cream, cotija cheese, and finely shredded lettuce. Definitely recommend asking for green or red salsa to dip the flautas in, the red salsa might be to hot for some peoples liking but it's so good. You won't regret giving these flautas a try, I have tried their tacos and tortas and a few other items and they are also amazing. Only reason I'm not giving this wonderful restaurant a 5 star is due to the fact that it's a very small restaurant and fills up relatively fast during lunch time since soldiers on JBLM come here to eat. read more

Wish I would have taken a picture of it, but we ate it too fast. As a Hispanic woman I home make a lot of our Spanish food but I can't lie I never even thought of making some of the amazing combinations they had. I was baffled that a taco truck even served such HUGE burritos but they also had a FULL restaurant menu. read more

I've always pass by this place on my way to Wendy's and thought, "I'll stop there one day. Check things out." One day came eventually. I got stuck behind one too many cars waiting to take that bad left turn into the Winco/Wendy's center and decided that it was time. Service has been solid. Pretty much what you'd expect at a fast food location. The prep time surprised me, though. About 15-20 seconds after I ordered, the burrito is in my hands and I'm back to my truck. I barely have time to pop the cap off of my coke before it's time to grab the food. Speaking of the food, I've only had the burritos here but they're solid. A good mix of rice, beans, onions, salsa and cilantro. The meat, though... kinda showed up here and there. A little more meat and I'd be satisfied...(that's what she said). The bites that had a good mix of everything were awesome! The bites lacking meat were good. The portion size... come hungry if you're grabbing a burrito. I'm going to leave it at that. Going on is just a minefield of "that's what she said jokes." But for about $8.50 for a big burrito and coke, I'm more than happy enough to make this my go to for ridiculously quick burritos when I'm in the area. Pros: Portion/cost/quality ratio keeps me coming back Service was crazy quick Cons: Where's the beef?... or pork?... or what... yeah, just add a little more meat and I'm set. read more

Love these tacos! Always hit wish y'all were open later but I constantly crave this truck

I ordered a carne asada fajita burrito , mild sauce and asked for no rice in it just beans. When I got back to work and started eating it it had no vegis just onion cilantro and carne asada. No sauce, nothing.! It was the driest burrito I ever ate. I am wondering how it could be mixed up with another order when I was the only customer there! What a disappointment read more

Our first time trying Tacos California. We both had the steak street tacos and they were good. I would have liked a little more sauce or salsa, but that's it. My wife said her steak was a little dry. Try it out. read more

I've been to the California food truck quite a few times since moving to WA. The burritos are my favorite and it's quite a hefty serving (especially for a big guy like me ) and I've had the tacos too....when I'm eating my boyfriend's leftovers but I thoroughly enjoy eating from this food truck and would recommend it to ANYONE who's looking for some good Mexican food...quickly The only bad thing is....they've ran out of ground beef some of the times I've been and that's what I usually get for my burrito so try and go early if you can. Go 30 minutes before they close and they may not have what you want. read more

I watched the cashier handle cash and then go straight to handling food without changing gloves. I would highly recommend that everyone microwave your food before you eat it to try and kill the bacteria that has been transferred to the food. read more

I just love their classic California style tacos. Grew up in California and these are exactly the tacos you get from an authentic taqueria or the little tacos stands on the street corner. Don't expect some fancy tacos because this is the basic meat, onion, cilantro, and spice tacos. (The best kind!) read more

Excellent Food! Good variety on their menu, especially their famous burritos. Very good hours. Always friendly. Their speed varies: sometimes they are quick, sometimes they take their time. However, I think it speaks a lot about them that they had to open another truck literally right down the road. They do good work. read more

The burritos are amazing definitely coming back me and my husband crave it and talk about it non stop

I'm not impressed. I have to disclose, I'm from SoCal which greatly influences my opinion of Mexican food. Foodwise - Chicken taco had the flavor but the amount of salsa was sad, given the fact they charge for cups of salsa, like WTF! I at least I got some lime to moisten the taco a bit more. - Carne asada torta - lacking in beans, salsa, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and queso - it was just a meaty grilled onion and jalapeño sandwich. - Overall, in my opinion, they fall short of making great quality Mexican food Pricewise - Charge 40 cents for using debit under $10 purchases - Charge for cups of salsa, which is usually complimentary most places I've been. You would think with the monopoly they have on Mexican food here, they wouldn't be so stingy - C'mon you got like 5 food trucks. - Tacos $1.55+ which is average, but too much for one little taco. Tortas $6+ which is more than I'm willing to pay for a mediocre torta No thanks - I'd rather GO to California read more

Idk why, but they always manage to screw something up in my order. If I ask for no lettuce or guacamole, especially if I say this multiple times, I'd expect to get no lettuce or guacamole. Threw the burrito in the garbage. Not going back. read more

Got two street tacos and a regular torta for $9 and change. Carne asana tacos and pork adobada torta. It was okay. The carne asada didn't have a lot of flavor although there was lots of meat on the tacos. Little heat of japs in the taco were nice. $1.55 each was overpriced. Torta was BIG! Again, adobada lacked flavor and the meat was super skimpy on the torta. LOTS of lettuce and onions. No avo and only tasted mayo in a couple of bites. I would probably not return nor recommend. read more

The food is usually consistent and good but they have screwed up my order more than once. First, make them read back what you ordered. Then check your bag before you walk away. It just sucks when you order a chicken torta- no jalapeños and you get home to unwrap a carne asada torta with jalapeños. Or when you ask for sour cream on the side and the find the burro just loaded after you bite into it. They use real Mexican sour cream which is so rich, if you use too much, you will gag your way through it. That said I will probably stick to the truck over by Fred Meyer. read more

They gave 1 tortilla for tacos and you have to get rice and beans, the beans weren't even good. Half a jalapeño. Would never come back
