Customer Reviews
Hard shell taco shells are the prefab kind you buy from the grocery store. The chicken is frozen chicken patties, reheated and cut up and served in your chicken taco. Sadly, the steak had a good flavor, but was over cooked. And the hard shell was prefabricated and awful. My husband said the Coke Zero was good. We do not recommend CalTaco as a place for good tacos.
Decent burger and fried zucchini sticks. The customer service is bad. No friendly greeting and the girl seemed irritated when I had to ask for anything. I tried to order a chocolate shake before they closed and was told they already turned off the shake machine. Wanted to give this place a try but not worth it at all. Take my money somewhere else.
Legit burgers and a nice variety of Mexican food, with a free salsa bar. Their shakes, fries, onion rings and zucchini sticks are great too! And their monkey bowls are massive and so filling, they’re enough for two separate meals.
The atmosphere was quite casual, perfect for a quick lunch with friends or family. The service was quite prompt. The burgers were delicious, especially because of the juicy patties and the rich, crispy bacon 😋 The fries were good though a little too deep-fried. Ironically, I did not favor the tacos. The meat was too bland for my liking, and the vegetables were added too much. If anyone working in this place happens to see this, I sincerely recommend specializing in burgers. The burgers are this place's strong suit for they are frankly, quite fresh and delicious.
Cal Taco is unique; it's not quite a burger place and not quite a Mexican restaurant. I would call it California-style. The veggie monkey bowl is my go-to and it does hit the spot. Good selection of salsa and toppings.
