    Writing this update after a recent visit. They updated the packaging for fish and chips :) Have always loved their food.

    Ordered the Atlantic salmon topped with the sweet chili glaze sauce, served over white rice with a side of fries. The salmon was cooked nicely and had a good amount of seasoning. The rice was soft and fluffy, while the fries were okay and came in a small portion. I also got crispy chicken tenders, which came with kaleslaw and zucchini with rosemary. The chicken tenders were tiny and just okay, and the diced zucchini was fine, though the rosemary was a bit overpowering. The kaleslaw was good, with a nice crunchy texture and flavor. Plenty of parking. Customer service was decent. Ordering is done through a kiosk. Wait time took around 15 minutes tor the food to be ready.

    First time here n i kinna like it...

    Food is good and fresh salsa is awesome. They had been nice every time i visited so will definitely come back. Service is top notch.. both manager and worker also. Ambiance is pretty average like any fast food is but it is pretty clean. They have really good choices for protein bowls. I love eating bowl style burritos

    BRUSSELS SPROUTS (BALSAMIC GLAZED) so good
    Victor L.

    Posting for my wife's takeout. She got the avocado veggie bowl. It's only $10 and a lot of fresh ingredients. We swapped the rice to salad and it works! She didn't like the beans but I thought it's a good source of protein. We are starting to become regulars here. Kids love their fresh fish. The Brussel sprouts are excellent. Next time we're gonna try their Everything Protein bowl for $2 more.

    Grilled wild rockfish with island teriyaki, kaleslaw, and diced rosemary zucchini, plus skewer of grilled pineapple

    This was my first time trying California Fish Grill so I didn't really know what to expect. You probably can't get freshly prepared fish like this at this price anywhere else. The grilled wild rockfish I got was flaky and tender, and the grilled pineapple skewer it came with was surprisingly sweet and juicy. That said, it's not the most exciting or craveable food around, so it's hard to say if I'd be back, especially since I paid around $16 including tip. The sides I had (kaleslaw and zucchini) were just okay. It also took longer than I expected for the food to come out even though it wasn't busy. But if you're craving fresh fish and don't feel like going to an even more expensive sit-down restaurant then this could be worth a stop for you!

    Grilled tuna steak with a side of SHRIMP SKEWERS
    Kevin T.

    Came in not knowing what to expect, and now I can't stop thinking about this place. California Fish House just opened and it already feels like a regular stop for me. I ordered the grilled tuna plate with a side of grilled shrimp, and both were spot on. The tuna was perfectly cooked--moist, flavorful, and not overly seasoned so the freshness could shine. The shrimp had that nice char and just the right amount of seasoning. Everything felt clean, light, but still super satisfying. What I really appreciate is that this place makes eating healthy easy. Tons of protein-packed options that actually taste good and aren't dry or boring. And with how hard it is to eat clean while still enjoying your food, that's a huge win for me. The staff is super friend and welcoming. The Prices are fair for the quality, and you can tell they actually care about the food they're serving. Pro tip: Customize your plate and grab a protein add-on--shrimp is totally worth it. #MacroFriendlyEats #FreshFishDoneRight #CaliforniaFishHouse

    Huge fan of California Fish Grill for their variety of delicious sides and well cooked seafood staples. The prices are reasonable and the staff generally have all been very hospitable. Anchoring in the corner of this busy shopping center, you'll find this California Fish Grill frequently packed and on our most recent visit on a Saturday evening, it was busy; nearly all the tables were taken! We came in for a takeout pickup, specifically for their sides to complement the rest of our at-home meal. Granted it was about an hour from closing, it wasn't the best timing and it seemed the food took a long time to be prepared. Fortunately, it did seem like the food was made to order for other patrons so freshness is expected here! Once the food came out, we were off and enjoyed the meal comfortably at home. We got a variety of sides including their fire roasted corn (a favorite of ours), cauliflower rice, and kale slaw. We usually crave the chowder but we passed on it this time around. Everything tasted great! We noticed in addition to their set grill plates that come with a choice of protein, sauce, and sides, they also have bowls including poke, shrimp and salmon. Will have to consider trying those next time! Overall, California Fish Grill and all their franchised locations do a wonderful job with their food and in training up their staff. The food comes out fresh and tasty and is decently portioned for the price you pay. Value is definitely there and if you're a TooGoodToGo-er, you'll find their leftovers just as appealing. This location is just particularly busy during peak times but it is in a decently sized mall so you'll likely be able to spend a bit of time here before or after your meal. If you're craving some seafood to go along with a hearty, balanced meal, California Fish Grill has their irons hot and ready to serve!

    EVERYTHING PROTEIN BOWL
    Maureen D.

    This place is just so good, and great customer service! There's lot of seating and very spacious place. I loved the lobster nachos. I originally came here for the protein bowl, which I got for free from the app. after looking at the menu, they had so many options I had to try more. I love their Brussels' sprout as well, so good. over all, this place is a must try.

    Lots of parking & IF Canes is not busy packed, you'll find a parking & you'll be able to walk in to enjoy this place. Staff is friendly & are there to help you, if you have questions about the kiosk (this is how you order & cashless) Fresh Yummy, beautiful presentation on the food when it comes out

    This California Fish Grill just opened up recently. It is located in the Evergreen Loop that has the Costco Business Center. The interior is smaller and offers some seating. But they have a larger patio area. Battered fish tacos and cajun salmon tacos were good. The service was nice. A good addition to the area.

    This place recently opened. We decided to try it with the hopes they'd have more than just fish :) We were pleasantly surprised that the menu had several options and the kids menu was decent. The ambiance was calming and clean. It was nicely decorated and there were a good amount of tables. There was also outdoor seating available. The bathrooms were nice, but for being lunch time, one of the stalls didn't have toilet seat covers. Interestingly there was no trash receptical inside the restaurant. The staff were friendly and helpful. Even though there were staff available customers had to place their orders on screens. We couldn't figure out how to order a beer on the screen, which was odd. We also had to pay with a card, not cash. We came in as a group of 6. We ordered the Shrimp Avocado Caesar salad, a Battered Fish taco combo with a shrimp skewer on the side, kids chicken tenders with fries, a Salmon plate combo with white rice and fries, a Salmon burger with fries and a Tilapia combo plate with brown rice and zucchini. We got one bottle of water, two waters and two fountain drinks. Overall it was around $98. There were a good number of customers and the staff were saying goodbye as everyone left, which was a nice touch. Our food was served on real plates, which was great. When we were done, we were able to leave our plates and silverware on the table and a staff came to bus the table afterwards. We saw other menu items that we'd like to try so we will definitely return! Highly recommend!

    Came back again after the soft opening was completed. And they definitely improved their efficiency. The good was better this time too! Bumped them from 3 to 4 stars. Branzino is always so good and you get two pieces; such a good deal! But my fav are the grilled Baja tacos. I could eat these all day. Saw they had a deal on chips and salsa so I tried. Not bad for the price. Chips had some kind of seasoned salt which was unique. The service seemed more cordial and the restaurant was cleaner.

    Simple, quick and healthier food option. The service is fine, the restaurant is spacious and clean.

    I ordered extra butter sauce, but when I got home, I noticed that they did not give it. The brussels sprouts tasted a little bit burnt.

    Some places just get it right every single time and this taco truck is one of them…read more I've ordered through DoorDash and picked up directly from the truck, and the experience is identical either way: fresh, correct, and consistent without fail. That kind of reliability is more rare than it should be, and it's worth calling out. The tacos themselves are the main event. The Carne Asada, Suadero, and Al Pastor are all standouts, but the Al Pastor especially earns its spot. They serve it with pineapple, which is the way it's meant to be done and a detail that tells you they actually care about getting it right. These are easily some of the best tacos in San Jose, and I don't say that lightly given how much competition there is in the South Bay. But the drinks alone might be worth the trip. Their Horchata and Agua Fresca are genuinely among the best I've had anywhere in the Bay Area and that's a real statement in a region with no shortage of excellent options. The salsa bar is a nice bonus: a self-serve setup where you scoop what you want into containers, and they send you off with baggies of fresh cilantro and onion so you can finish the tacos exactly how you like them. They actively encourage you to take plenty, which tells you a lot about the kind of place this is. The staff is warm and welcoming on top of everything else. Truly one of the best taco trucks around. Don't sleep on it!!

    Overall Rating 4/5…read more (They've done me well in the past, so although this visit wasn't the best I return because of my past experiences) Burrito Suadero burrito 6/10 - the burrito was okay, today was a miss for the burrito as it lacked a lot of flavor and they filled it up with 75% rice this time. This is the only time I didn't finish the burrito and usually it has a lot more flavor but unfortunately this time I was disappointed in the quality to the point I didn't finish it. Tacos suadero 8/10 cabeza con el vapor 9.5/10 lengua con el vapor 6/10 carne asada 6/10 al pastor 8.5/10 The tacos were the star of the show tonight with the their Al Pastor Tacos and Cabeza con el vapor! Those had the best flavor profile The green and orange sauces were okay, not extremely flavorful and receive a sauce rating of 2.5/5; it's good for the first couple bites then the flavor fatigue gets real. Next time only cabeza and al pastor in taco form. Panchito is a nice taco truck located next to the tire shop. They have extremely nice staff that really make you feel at home. I usually come here whenever I am craving Mexican food and sometimes it is hit or miss. They have tables outside but sometimes it's too cold at night so I Togo the food home, but they always play some great music there!

    I've visited the downtown location so brought the gang here for lunch…read more We were seated and we all placed our orders. The salsa is self serve as well as all the other toppings like onion, radish, cilantro. I've enjoyed everything I've ordered. The sopes and gorditas are crispy and flavorful. The orange salsa is my favorite. During lunch time there's scattered tables full of people. The noise level is average for a place like this. The staff takes your order and brings out the food as it's ready. Service is fine. Water cups on a table for self serve. Very little interaction with the servers once your food is served. Pay up at front if they don't come with the check. Great lunch spot!

    I've been to Cali Spartan a few times now, and it never disappoints! This visit we ordered 12 tacos…read moretotal (al pastor and carne asada), along with two sides of rice and beans, avocado, and aguas frescas. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and came out hot. The tacos were generously filled, the tortillas were delicious, and the aguas frescas were refreshing. There was a small mix-up with our order at first. Our waitress accidentally thought we had only ordered six tacos instead of twelve, so we initially received six tacos, one side of rice and beans, and were still waiting on our drinks. When she came by and noticed one of us wasn't eating, she asked if we were waiting on anything. We explained that we were still supposed to receive six more tacos, another side of rice and beans, and our drinks. She apologized, brought our drinks over right away, and the rest of our food came out quickly. Even with the mix-up, everything was handled professionally, and we appreciated how quickly she fixed it. We originally sat outside, but decided to move inside because of the bugs. The inside of the restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a welcoming atmosphere. Since it was the Fourth of July, it wasn't busy, which made for a relaxed dining experience. The salsa bar was being prepped, but our waitress gladly brought us fresh limes when we asked. Overall, the food was delicious, the service was friendly, and even though there was a small mistake with our order, it was corrected quickly without any issues. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommend Cali Spartan if you're looking for delicious tacos and great customer service.

    This was my very first visit to El Halal Mexican Restaurant in the heart of downtown Willow Glen,…read moreand I've been wanting to stop by for a while. I finally decided to give it a try after hearing about the restaurant from food reviewer Dave fiore text. As someone who absolutely loves tacos and is always on the hunt for great local taco spots, I was excited to see how this place compared to some of my favorites. I ordered four different tacos, and overall, they were pretty good. They weren't bad by any means, but they also didn't quite blow me away. The meat was cooked well, the tortillas were fresh, and the tacos had good flavor. The salsa was decent too, although I personally prefer something with a little more kick. Everyone has different tastes, so this is just my opinion. One thing I really appreciated was how clean and organized the restaurant was. You can tell they take pride in keeping the dining area nice and welcoming. The staff was friendly, and my food came out quickly. It's always a good sign when a restaurant pays attention to both cleanliness and customer service. I've eaten at a lot of taco places throughout the Bay Area, so I naturally compare every new place to some of my favorites. While El Halal Mexican Restaurant didn't make the top of my list, I still had a good experience and I'm glad I finally gave it a shot. Not every restaurant has to be your favorite to be worth visiting. I also like supporting family-owned businesses because I know how much hard work goes into running a local restaurant. They deserve credit for creating a clean, welcoming place and serving quality food. Will I come back? Maybe. If I do, I'd probably try something different on the menu instead of the tacos. Sometimes a restaurant's best dish isn't the first thing you order, and I'd be interested in seeing what else they have to offer. Overall, I'd give El Halal Mexican Restaurant a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It was a good experience, I'm happy I finally got to try it, and if you're in the Willow Glen area, it's worth stopping by and deciding for yourself.

The food was good. They have a sweet potato and kale option for those that don't eat meat. This is a great alternative compared to places that just do regular potatoes. I liked their agua frescas because they're not super sweet. It is on the pricier side for tacos but I think more places are pricing it like that nowadays. It's a great spot if you're in the area!
