    Power Bowl
    Nancy P.

    Very Tasty build your own bowl has many choice ingredients. Bowls are big and you will not go away hungry. Service was fast and friendly . Enjoyed the bowl with chicken, black beans, fajita vegetables, pico and avocados. Very filling. Fit into my dietary needs.

    Carnitas Verdes tacos

    Always a delicious, fresh meal when stopping by California Tortilla. I stop in for tacos or a quesadilla on occasion and every time, I'm met with a sparkling clean restaurant, friendly staff, and bold flavors. My favorite menu option is the carnitas tacos as is. Got to try their new BBQ pork grill melt today as well, which was cheesy and tangy. Pro tip: join the Burrito Elite club for fantastic coupons emailed to you, such as a free grill melt .

    We absolutely love California Tortilla and have been several times. What sets CT apart from [ahem] other giant corporate burritos is their clean layout, fresh selections (almost too many), and the GENIUS hot sauce wall. As you move along the assembly line, employees will clearly let you know, you get "this many" of _____, "this many" of _____ and so on. We had the pork burrito, loaded it up with every veggie and salsa imaginable, and enjoyed the HELL out of it. The fresh jalapenos and cilantro are also a nice touch and something you don't see at the "other" places. Wifey had the quinoa bowl and we can say with confidence (because we finished it off) that the bowl was also very good. Further, employees will kindly suggest some "alternate" pairings and items that they feel will better compliment each other ; trust their opinions. Everything we've ever had at CT has been fresh and great. Price point, selection, and freshness trump CT's (much) larger corporate competitors. We look forward to our next burrito run, hot sauce experiments, and cilantro parade.

    I ate here two days in a row. It's so good and fresh. Great customer service - inside and outside seating. Wish they had one here in Augusta, Ga.

    Cheese sauce kinda salty. Fish taco decent. Pretty good in a franchise fast food kinda way.

    I'm chaperoning this weekend. My daughter and her crew wants to go to folly Beach to iPhone the sunset and all sorts of things you can correlate to snob culture. Lmao. I'm more of a bodyguard to be honest. But after I got through all the traffic and got them to the site dropped them off and explained to them what the rendezvous point is in 2 hours I had to do something to occupy my time. So I went yelping. There were no restaurants on my Yelp list to go yelping today so I just drove down folly road until I saw something different. And voila!! Upon walking in I understand what their assignment is. When you're giving reviews and stars you have to keep in mind what that place's mission statement is. They never said they had the best tortillas, tacos, burritos etc on earth. Their job is to be a franchise brick and mortar that supplies a certain genre of food that will get it to you fast. That's it. And they delivered. Diverse menu from everything from fish tacos to blackened chicken salads. They have a salsa bar or close to it. It is spacious enough. Great location. Accessible to all walks of man. Pretty simple. I had a chicken bowl and she had a different kind. I also ordered the fish tacos. I really loved the mango salsa. Nice plump sweet mangoes. I forgot the name of the drinks they serve but they were pretty good. Definitely something you will order for summer evening. I believe we need different fast food franchises in the city. Every time there's a land opening somebody just throws a waffle House or something we've already seen a million times. Lord knows we have enough Hardee's. And you can tell because they're all shutting down. We don't need any more Burger kings. So whoever brought this place to the lowcountry I thank you and I hope others follow your lead into bringing in some new eats. Not too expensive so I definitely will be back. The food came fast. I've never heard of this place and so glad I found them. My time has run out I have to go get my daughters now. And I'm going to surprise them on the way home I'm going to stop to tinto y crema. They have been on my Yelp list for a minute and I've been craving those pancakes even though I have no idea what they are but I will let you know my discoveries. I love you!!

    Bowl with grilled chicken
    Julia R.

    California tortilla is a good spot when you want a fast burrito or bowl. They have a variety of vegetable, salsa, protein and sauce options. For my bowl, I had romaine, black beans, grilled chicken, vegetables, 2 salsas and sour cream and some cheese:) I also had a small side of chips and salsa. The portions are great and the prices are very fair for what you get. The employees were all friendly and helpful, and the restaurant seems very clean. (Though I took mine to go)

    Not blackened chicken for sure

    I ordered $265 worth of food; 6 orders of quesadillas with blackened chicken was part of the order. The chicken seemed to be breaded, it definitely was not blackened. Over $60 for quesadillas that were not eaten.

It's not my favorite type of Mexican restaurant, as it's a little more upscale than I *personally* prefer, but if upscale Mexican is your vibe, then this'll be the perfect restaurant for you! They had an alright selection of beers, to include a couple of IPAs, but my friends and I didn't really enjoy their cocktails. They were expensive, but lacking in much flavor or zest. Besides looking cool, the taste didn't really match the aesthetic. Furthermore, the food was solid, but not that much better than your basic Mexican restaurant. As for the service, our waiter was nice enough, but he always seemed to be in a hurry, and was walking away while we were still trying to give our order. All-in-all, I'm probably making Matador sound worse than it was, but it was merely a slightly above-average Mexican experience, not a transcendental dining experience that I'll never forget. I'll give it 3/5 stars, and would recommend it based on your personal preference.

Every element worked together beautifully without overpowering the dish. The guacamole was exactly what great guacamole should be, creamy with just the right amount of texture, perfectly ripe avocados, fresh lime, and balanced seasoning that made it hard to stop eating. The Spanish rice, tomatillo sauce, and pinto beans were all equally delicious and clearly made with care and attention to flavor. We sat at the bar and really enjoyed chatting with our friendly and enthusiastic bartender, which made the experience even more memorable. Service, atmosphere, and food were all outstanding.

While the queso and the meat were good (not much of it though), everything else left a lot to be desired. The sauces were not good and kind of ruined the food for me.

Both made our day! I will say: Duncan makes the best Berry Coladas!! That drink is SO GOOD! it tastes like a coconut berry smoothie (we got the alcoholic version with rum, but there's a nonalcoholic version as well). Once our table was ready, we were moved to a booth. The overall decor is coastal and cute, with basket-lighting, wooden booths, and multiple ways to order! You can order via your server, QR code, or a paper ballot. We started off with the large sized chips & guac. I was skeptical at first because the guacamole doesn't have tomato, but it was VERY good! We devoured it! For tacos: we got: The baja fish taco: one of my favorites--the fish is perfectly crispy The crispy duck taco: good! Not super crispy, but definitely tasty The cauliflower taco: a surprise hit! I found the flavors very refreshing and well seasoned! The tuna taco on a bed of lettuce: this one can get messy. I ordered with my stomach instead of reading the fine print that it doesn't come in a traditional taco tortilla. The overall taco is good and the tuna has excellent flavor. The taco does come loaded with a sauce that tends to spill--so eat over the tray! My sister got the carne asada taco, and she felt that it could have been better. She felt the carne asada itself was bland and relied on the sauce for flavor. I'm usually skeptical of chain restaurants like Bartaco, but I've been pleasantly surprised: their food is reliably good! (Of note, the Bartaco in Hyde Park Village in Tampa DOES take reservations, unlike this one). I wish this Bartaco also took reservations. On busy days, you can easily expect a 30-45 minute+ wait to be seated here. That being said, the guacamole, the drinks, and the tacos are overall very good! I found that ordering 5 tacos was more than enough to fill me. My sister and I split our bill of berry coladas, large chips & guac, and tacos (5 per person) and it came out to $33.53 per person (with tax and tip).
