CALI- South Tampa 217 S Dale Mabry Hwy Tampa. FL 33609 Had the opportunity to come visit Cali Restaurant in South Tampa. I was greeted by a welcoming staff. I have been wanting to try out their Spicy Rio Burrito and thier Hot Honey Pizza and both were so good. I also ordered their Cucumber Mint Tea Drink. Very Refreshing Drink. An additional thing about this restaurant is that serve Brunch, they do Taco Tuesday Specials and have Wine and Beer Craft options. They also have some big cookies to try. They have 4 different locations in the Tampa area so give them a visit and check them out. read more

I'm a big fan of Cali - always have been, always will be! The issue is that I love one menu item so much that I've failed to try like.........ANYTHING ELSE. I've been loyal to the California Club Wrap for years. I swap the lime caesar with the citrus aioli and it is *chef's kiss* - the french fries here are also to die for, and I would eat them for every meal if I could. The wrap is simple - romaine, pico de gallo, bacon, guacamole, and I get it with the chargrilled chicken. Simple and delicious! I visited CALI for the first time in months yesterday, and it's still just as good as always. At lunch, it's always a quick in-and-out dining experience, and the service is always top notch. read more

My friend is a devoted Cali fan and has been begging me to come here for a long time. SO sad I waited so long to come here, it was fantastic!!! I ordered the fajita bowl with char chicken. The roasted peppers and onions, guac and chicken blended together so nicely with the coconut avocado rice. My friend got the hot honey pizza that she absolutely adores. We started off their house white sangria for only $5.50, a steal! It was delicious and refreshing. What was even better than the food was the service. Our server (sad I forgot her name) was beyond friendly and outgoing. They even gave me a free cookie for it being my first time to Cali. Very easy to say that I will be back here very soon, bringing more friends along to experience how fun, delicious, and friendly Cali is. read more

The food at Cali's is consistently fresh and delicious. I've tried the sour dough pizza, their creative bowls, and recently the market salad with chickpea bites. The portions were generous and all were fabulous. The atmosphere is welcoming, the friendly staff is attentive. They even have outside seating!! read more

My job frequently caters from here and every time they do I'm always pleased but this was my first time trying the restaurant on site and it did not disappoint. I had the pepperoni pizza with the hot honey which was so fresh and tasty and my partner had the Brazilian bowl (added steak) and loved it! I really like that there is a variety of healthy options that can be customized. I think it would be a nice to have a "build your own bowl" also based on the proteins/sides available. Overall, great food and service. read more

I'm a little disappointed with Cali. First off... from the street you see a huge place with an amazing façade, then you enter the place and it has at least 15 tables total (i don't know the exact number, but the thing is that it looks huge from the outside and then the place is very small). We were a group of 6 and didn't go with any reservation. When we entered, they told us it would be a 10 minute wait for inside or that we could seat outside but people were complaining about the smell (at least the host was honest). We decided to seat outside because inside was very cold and didn't sense the smell the host was talking about, which is a good thing. The menu isn't anything special and same with the food. The pizza was good and my friend said the burrito was great. The waitress was very helpful and nice and I appreciate that. read more

The staff was really nice. I stopped in for a take out order. It was my first time there. It was taco Tuesday so I tried the hot and spicy tacos which come with chips and salsa. I thought it was a good deal for around $12 w/tax. The presentation was great, especially for to go food. It was just soooo salty. The ahi got lost in the aioli and guacamole and the tempura onions and soy sauce ( both already on the tacos) made it really salty. I would recommend getting the soy sauce and the aioli on the side. I think that would make a huge difference. read more

Hot. Honey. Pizza. Is it acceptable to add honey to every pizza from now on? I'm not sure, but this pizza made me feel like I've been missing out on the secret ingredient all my life. Highly recommend! The Gulf Coast Sourdough crust was also very yummy and added to the overall pizza. Cali offers a ton of gluten-free, dairy-free, plant-based meal options so if you have any of those dietary restrictions, you'll love their menu! They offer 8 different bowls or you can create your own. We went with Big Italy and Spicy Brazilian which were both incredible. They also offer salads, wraps, and various apps. If it's your first time stopping in, you'll receive a complimentary cookie before you leave and my GOODNESS are they tasty!! Couldn't decide which I liked better, the chocolate chip or the s'mores. read more

Oh yes- love this place! So many vegan options- this place has something for everyone. I love a non vegan spot that offers vegan condiments - like a creamy sauce and cheese! So yeah I down. The food was delicious- mine was kinda warm would have liked it hotter. But I ate the leftovers at the airport cold & it was still amazing lol. I got the Spicy Brazilian - w/ added fried onions and lentil cubes (I think they call it lentil cubes -protein). Anywho- I'll be back read more

This place was so good. For one, the decor was cute and inviting. Secondly, the food was great. I came with a big group for brunch so we appreciated the option to order either breakfast or from the main menu. I ordered the French toast and man oh man, that's only hefty meal. It was delicious, but in retrospect, I would order an egg dish with one piece of French toast on the side because two was just too much for one sitting. Pictures don't do it justice, it is massive and it is rich. I do wish they had latte options, but the did offer again frescas, which a couple of the girls got and liked a lot. Also, the French toast is diary free. It doesn't say on the menu, but we clarified, and my friend with a dairy allergy ate it no problem. So the fact that they have dairy free options is something to note as well. If you're in the area and looking for a good brunch, I vouch for this spot. read more

Cali on S. Dale Mabry WAS one of my favorite restaurants in Tampa but not anymore. Two of my favorite dishes are no longer on the menu! I'm extremely upset that there's no longer the delicious Asian salad or the Amalfi pizza on the menu!!! The Amalfi pizza is/was the best vegan pizza ever! read more

I'm not going to lie. Ive been coming here with my lady for TEN years And it started with them taking off the sriracha aioli sauce and they lost me But now No more fries with your side ? No more edamame! No more seasoning on chips ?! What in the Caucasus is going on?!? read more

this isn't my first time at cali so i was very aware that everything was going to be delicious. however this time i tried the new wild shroom pizza...... FANTASTIC!!!!! i love how they make the crust seasoned, every bit of the pizza was to die for. i always was able to try all three flavors of the agua fresca since they offer free refills and they were all so refreshing! i'd say in order of preference the best choice would be the cucumber mint, then the lavender lemonade, then the dragonfruit. as for the thai bowl it tasted essentially like a pad thai, very yummy but my pizza was better ;P. i forgot the server's name but she had super cute shoes, dark curly hair and the cutest silver jewelry. she did an amazing job and was very nice :3 very conversational and sweet (she also did a great job at upselling lmaoo i ended up ordering way more than i was originally going to (no regrets though xD)). i sat in the outside area and it was so perfect right under the shade. everything about cali is a 10/10! very deserving of alllll 5 stars. read more

Taco Tuesday! Had to try Cali's tacos since it's only available once a week. The restaurant was busy but nothing too crazy. The order consisted of the Chicken Thai and Ahi Tuna Hot & Crunchy tacos. Each taco order comes with chips and salsa. The Hot & Crunchy tasted great. It was very flavorful and had a sushi like flavor profile in taco. What a great combo! The Thai on the other hand was okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped. The chips were nicely seasoned. They tasted great even without salsa or guacamole. Disappointed you couldn't order the tacos in a mix and match or as individuals. Also the salsa wasn't spicy. I wish there was levels of heat available for the salsa. Overall, the meal was still good. Worth giving it a shot to try the other flavors. read more

I went here with a friend for lunch because she absolutely adores this place and I can totally see why! The lavender lemonade is a chefs kiss! The hot honey pizza was to die for.

I'm so glad she showed me this place it's sooo cute on the inside the patio space is well decorated and I always love an open kitchen ! We have made this a go to lunch spot for sure ! read more

Love this place ... we live in Orlando and our original plans fell through so we needed something quick to eat. We came in and it wasn't super busy just yet ... we got seated and our server (Noelle) was super sweet! She could tell we had never been before so she explained everything and gave us some recommendations. We ordered the burrito with blackened chicken and the buffalo bowl with crispy Chicken ... It was DELICIOUS! If you've ever been before they give you free cookies at the end (: read more

If you like Ciccio group (Green Lemon, Luv Child, Daily Eats, Flour + Water) you will like Cali. It's a smaller menu than all of their other restaurants, but still the same high quality and very fast service. The hot honey pizza (also available at Flour + Water) is a must-try. Their bowls are all really filling and flavorful and customizable. Don't sleep on their taco Tuesday offerings! read more

Delicious food, good prices and Summer the server was great. She made a really good visit even better.

I teach Zumba at the LA Fitness next door and walk over after class sometimes and I am totally in love with this place! Pros: The potatoes! Breakfast portions are perfect for everyone. I eat smaller meals while my family eats larger ones, they have something for everyone. Pancake size, they're tiny and delicious and the syrup is great. Bowls are good too, for the evening. Cons: No half and half for coffee. It hasn't stopped me yet though. read more
