Came here during lunch and ordered my usual, the fish burrito. I was a little stunned that the prices have gone up yet again (paid a little over $17 including tax), but the burrito was huge and I packed half of it to-go to eat later. The fish was super crispy and hot, and the burrito was delicious. Definitely one of my favorite spots to eat for lunch when I want something quick and yummy. Side note, my friend got the Cali fries with asada and said it was just okay. I took a bite and also felt like it was lacking. I'd stick to their burritos if you choose to eat here. Seating is pretty plentiful, and there's also a lot of parking in the plaza. read more

Arm length burrito - exactly as advertised. The price is steep which is the only reason I won't be coming back. I didn't believe the reviews that said they jacked up their prices ever since they went viral. My family has frequented this spot a few times over the past year but haven't been back in a few months. They recommended I check them out because I can get a huge burrito for $15. And my family are big eaters so I know they were talking about a fully loaded burrito for $15. As of may 27 expect to pay $30 for a fully loaded angel burrito. Insane given that I could go to a nice restaurant for the same amount. Burrito is tasty but be ready to pay the viral premium. read more

Came here for lunch with my friends on Friday for the first time and loved the food we ordered... They have inside and outside seating. You order at the counter and then they call your name for you to pick up your order. They have a salsa bar that has green and red salsa and pickled carrots.. All of us enjoyed our food.. It's a little on the pricier side but well worth it because their portions are huge and I was able to only eat half of my burrito and then the other half the next day. My burrito was full of tasty meat. I can't wait to go back and try something new off of their menu!! read more

Huge portions of food! Prices are average but def worth the bang for the buck and quality of food. One fish taco is huge and can fill someone up. Sauce is complimentary I believe. Not super busy line to order food but restaurant was semi full around dinner time on a Friday. Meat tasted fresh and everything was delicious. Would highly recommend if in the mood for some Mexican street food. read more

Cali Tacos - asada Cali Fries - Mexican Near Me - Santa Ana, California

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. read more

Gotta say their burritos are MASSIVE!! So that's definitely a plus. They lack a bit on flavor though. I think their sauces are just okay, and in my opinion, sauce ties everything together. Their service is friendly and pretty quick. read more

We love Cali tacos! Been coming here for years! The portions are huge and the quality is always consistent! Service here is fast, especially when you call ahead! Spacious indoor seating area, but we prefer taking it to go! We share an angel burrito with chicken and we add beans, so good! They have a salsa bar which has a green and red salsa and the carrots. They'll ask you at the register if you want Cali sauce (the answer is always yes), and how many. The angel burrito comes with Cali sauce inside already, but you can always use more! Their soda machine has a weird taste though, so that knocks a star down for me. No matter what drink we get, there's a hint of lemon or lime flavor which isn't always preferred, and tastes pretty artificial. read more

This place gives so much food. The burrito was 10 feet long no cap. I got a vegetarian burrito and it was classic. The beans and rice don't have lard and they load that bad boy up with hella cheese. In read more

My favorite menu was actually the tacos! It's a bit pricy but the size is plentiful.

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. read more

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. read more

Amazing service explained the menu. food is so good everything in the store is so clean 10/10

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Cali Tacos - angel fries with adobada - Mexican Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Definitely prefer this location to the one on Orange, and it's the same great Cali Tacos that you know and love. One of these days I want to explore the not-so-secret menu, but the Cali Burrito is a classic, which I always get without guacamole or sour cream because I don't like those textures in my burrito and the flavors of the adobada pop so much more in my opinion. It's great service, and you'll get your food pretty fast, so no complaints there. The one downside as of late is that the parking situation is kind of a mess at the moment, so it does make it sort of inconvenient, and the roads there are kind of chaotic. Don't forget the Cali Sauce, which they will offer, and unfortunately never provide enough of, but you can supplement it with their salsa bar. It's the only thing that comes close to the San Jose orange sauces for those who know. TIP: Cali Burrito is a reliable option always. read more

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. read more

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!!!! read more

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. read more

Very poor communication and leadership. I was involved in an auto accident behind this business and there camera capture the incident. I reached to the manager several times and finally the owner called me back and told me he viewed incident when I told him time and date but never text or emailed the clip.

Visited OC for the day and had to stop by one of my favorite burrito spots from college. When I say the Angel burrito is the size of a grown man's forearm I mean it (Picture for proof). Not only are the portions massive, the food is actually delicious too. Kinda pricy but you get your money's worth. This location had lots of indoor seating and barely any wait. Service was super fast and they are so nice giving any amount of cali sauce you ask for. I recommend the cali fries and the angel burrito. read more

I usually love Cali Taco, but not today. I was REALLY DISAPPOINTED. I ordered the Angel Burrito, which is supposed to come with shrimp, but guess what? It HAD NONE! I don't get it--I paid for shrimp, so where was it? On top of that, you have to pay an extra fee for carne asada? Seriously? And to make things worse, they were out of carrots and jalapeños, which are usually so good here. Honestly, I'm not sure when I'll be back. read more

Friendly service. Clean spaces. Massive delicious breakfast burritos! Will definitely comeback.

Why won't Cali tacos allow me to remove guacamole from my California burrito when I hate guacamole and it makes me sick? My last review was flagged and removed for saying this, and yelp said it was removed by moderation and business owners. I just don't want the guacamole but it's not an option to have a California burrito without it read more

This is my first time visiting since my college days, but honestly I'll stand on business that it still hits! Admittedly, the location was pretty consistently bustling - it seemed understaffed for the demand, but our food came out within 10-15 minutes of ordering. I had been fiending for a Cali Burrito all week long, so this hit the spot - not only is it huge, but it has all of the delicious components that make a Cali burrito unique - yum! I didn't even feel like I needed the sauce too much at all. I had around 4 bites left, so it was the perfect amount of food. My friend ordered the tacos, and I just want to say that they are HUGE. As in, can't even fit into your mouth in one bite huge. And pretty messy, so just be aware of that if you're about to order the tacos. Good seating, decent parking, and nice place to catch up! read more

Cali Tacos - The Cali Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Hola Everyone! We were HUUNNNNGGGGRYYYYYY this particular night, so we brought our friend Evan over to Cali Tacos in Santa Ana. Their OG location in in Orange, but this place popped up some time ago and is equally as good! Contrary to its name, though, this spot is known for their incredibly valued burritos! These things are massive, and are more than worth it as far as price goes! Looking at the decor, it's kinda simple, but don't let that deter you, they put all of their effort into the food! We each got different things; I got the Cali burrito, which came with fries, guac, meat, and more! Don't forget to sauce it up, because this stuff is addictive! And this flour tortilla is robust, but takes a wonderful backseat to the rest of the fillings. Hi. My name is Brandon, and I made a mistake. I ordered the Angel burrito. This is easily twice the size of the largest burrito that I've ever had, and I could definitely not finish it. It comes with EVERYTHING inside it, so if you're hungry...good luck! I cannot believe this is on the menu. Honestly, not sure how you could go wrong here. It's delicious, whichever direction you decide to go! They got fries, tacos, quesadillas, and more! If you're looking for some food that really rocks though, bring the squad on over to Cali Tacos! read more

I was really hoping to enjoy this place, my son had given it great reviews. We were in the area and dropped in on a Friday night. It was busy but we walked right up to the counter. He ordered a cali burrito w/ adobada. First bummer, they sell rolled taquitos, but you can only get shredded beef, even though they have chicken on the menu. So I decided to get a chicken quesadilla, I figured what could go wrong, that seems pretty safe. It took a while to get our order, there were a couple of customers that came in after us that got their order before us. Eventually, our number was called....The portion sizes are big, the cali burrito was good, 7/10. My dissapointment was with the chicken quesadilla. Although large, it was overloaded with chicken to the point where it was inedible. It overwhelmed the cheese. I tried to take out some of the chicken, but it was just too much. After taking just one bite, I brought this to the attention of the male staff member at the register, and asked if I could just get a plain quesadilla. A female staff member approached my table, and to my surprise she brought back the same chicken quesadilla I had just returned to the counter. She asked what was wrong with it, I said the flavor was good, but I just couldn't eat it because it has too much chicken (I couldn't believe my own ears saying this, but please see the photos). I was being careful not to offend them, however, I could tell by this point it was an issue. I said just forget it, I can take this home. I'm good. She proceeded to leave with my receipt and eventually returned telling me the manager said they cannot make a new quesadilla, and that next time I need to ask for light chicken. I responded by saying it was my first time there, and again said, it's fine, we will take the chicken quesadilla home, my son will eat it. I was over it. We packed up and left. I'm giving this place a 1-star not because of their limited customization, slow service, but because of the manager response. Their solution that I needed to speak up next time and ask for a modification implies that it was my fault. Blaming the customer is the final reason that lead to this 1-star review. There was no flexibility or interest in trying to retain a customer over the cost of a tortilla and some cheese. I wasn't asking for a refund, I just wanted a plain quesadilla. It became an issue, when it could've been a quick fix. We will not be returning at any point in the future. Aside from Cali Taco, I don't know any establishment that won't offer a refund or an alternative if the customer is not satisfied with their meal. It's just a good practice. Huge disappointment. (Also, I understood by the end of my visit why they don't offer chicken taquitos, they serve it all in their chicken quesadillas.) read more

I used to come here a lot and really really enjoy the food. I just called and got told the asada burrito is 20.04. Idk if it's just a phone order thing but unfortunately I won't be able to support with these prices anymore. Prices shouldn't be this high on a burrito. read more

TLDR: I'm glad that I can add another burrito spot on my list. There's a bunch of stuff in the menu that I'm excited to try in the future. Cali Burrito: It's one of the better chicken burritos that I've had. The protein was tender, juicy, and completed the ensemble that was designed to be paired with carne asada. I know the beef will probably taste better, but people who are looking to cut down on red meat will have this as a solid alternative Service: I called to order 10 minutes before arriving and my burrito was ready when I got there. Quick and easy. Ambiance. It's an honest looking Mexican taco place. That's the best way I can describe it. read more

Cali Tacos is located on a small corner lot in Orange. It started in San Diego, moved north, and now has multiple locations across Southern California. This location in Santa Ana is in a plaza with a small parking lot and has both indoor and outdoor seating. SUPREME FRIES ($15.99) - I got this without beans and with carne asada (+$0.65). There were large portions of meat and the other stuff on top that I had to dig through it to find the layer of fries on the bottom. I liked that the pico cut through the heaviness of the other toppings. 4.5/5 THE CALI ($12.25) - this is their California burrito and I got it with al pastor. It was a good burrito although the oil from the al pastor eventually leaked through the tortilla and got all over the exterior. 4/5 They have a sauce station that has their green and red sauces, and when they give you your order they also give you their Cali sauce. I've always heard the California burrito is one of the best in OC and both of what I got were pretty good. read more
