So my buddy and I were in the area at a local brewery for a pretty special beer release and in doing so we had to arrive at like 8am and they were not opening until like 11am.To make matters worse,it's like 2 hours from home,so we basically have been on the go since before 6am. So after settling in line and realizing we were in for the long haul-my breakfast burrito craving instincts started kicking in,so I jumped on my phone and opened Yelp and saw this interesting looking spot wasn't too far away.With my spot secure in line by my buddy,I jumped in my car and headed to Taqueria California in Windsor. The shop is located in a multi tenant shopping center so parking is zero issue. Walking in I was greeted by the amazing smell of breakfast meats cooking with those beautiful Mexican spices,I knew I was in the right spot. The very friendly staff took my order of 2 breakfast burritos-I got a Bacon version and a Chorizo version-they cost $13.00 each Both came with a green and red sauce on the side and also a complimentary small bag of chips. I ended up trying a little bit of the bacon burrito,since it was my friends,it was pretty good and one can never go wrong with a bacon breakfast burrito-but honestly my chorizo burrito was amazing. It was perfectly seasoned-not overly greasy-and then paired with the two salsa-each bite was better than the next.The potatoes went so well with the eggs and chorizo and cheese-I enjoyed it very much. This was the perfect meal to start off what ended up being a big day of beer drinking at the brewery. In closing-if you ever find yourself in the Windsor area and are craving a breakfast burrito-I give this shop 2 major thumbs up and guarantee you will enjoy your meal from Taqueria California. read more

I can only judge the burrito since my partner in crime did the short distance run while I held down our spot at Russian River for the Pliney release. As far as Breakfast Burritos go, This was top notch. A nice ratio of meat, potato,egg with sour cream and a fresh tasty pico de gallo all combined in a great tortilla and wrapped beautifully for easy consumption. It came with 2 salsas, a red that was great in flavor and a little spice, and a green packed with flavor and less spice. read more

Came here with my sister and her man, it's a place they enjoy. My first time. I was hoping for a chicken soup but sadly they don't offer any here. So after pursuing the options I ended up getting the 2 taco combo plate with carne asada. The food was alright, not as seasoned as I'm used to. The beans were ok and the rice same. Service was fine, ambiance was bright and open and clean, that part was great. Not terrible food at all but with so many Mexican spots that really perfect the craft of the food it's kinda hard to want to come back to anywhere that doesn't. 5/10 read more

Visited for a quick dinner and they were awesome to fit us in close to closing. First bite of my burrito was fantastic, deep and delicious flavors. Carne asada was a little chewy, so I'd give another meat a try. But definitely worth a visit! read more

Great little Mexican food spot! They have a huge menu, lots of good choices! The veggie burrito was excellent! The salsas are great.It's very clean inside.The staff were very helpful and friendly. read more

First time here and we loved it! It's an order-at-the-counter type of place--they ask which table you'd like and then bring the food to you. They serve chips with two salsas (green and red--sorry, I don't know the names). Both are pretty spicy, so if you're sensitive to heat, it might be a bit much. And that's coming from someone who loves spicy food and could still feel the kick. My husband and I shared the carnitas quesadilla, which was a generous portion and tasted great. We also tried the Nutella-filled churros, and they were delicious as well. The service was lovely--despite ordering at the counter, they still checked on us, which I really appreciated. We'll definitely be back! read more

I've always seen this place as I visited the shopping center it's located in, but I never thought of trying it out. As I was approaching Taqueria California, I heard some music coming from within the restaurant which helped me become more comfortable with trying a new spot. I chose the carne asada plate either flour tortillas and a fountain drink. Rarely do I have soda, but it hit the spot with my dinner. Fairly large portions to where I was able to take some home. While I was eating, I noticed a steady flow of traffic. They must be on Uber Eats or Door Dash cause there were a lot of pickup orders during the stormy weather we were experiencing. In my opinion, my only dislike were the chips, but my mother liked 'em. Definitely will be back for lunch or dinner. I m not sure if they're open for breakfast. read more

I've been here a few times, and my favorite dish is the fried whole fish with rice and beans. It always hits the spot especially with red salsa and a squeeze of lime. The fish is super fresh and crispy every time. The chips were a little overcooked on this visit, but we still ate them anyway.My friend ordered the beef soup, which was also good, but I definitely liked my dish better. The staff were friendly and kind, and we were surprised (in a good way) to see a robot serving food! I've only seen that at sushi places before, but as long as it brings the food to the right table, it's all good! The environment was warm and welcoming. My friend and I will definitely be coming back. read more

I've eaten here multiple times, dining in and take out, and only have amazing things to say about this Mexican Restaurant. The outside is unassuming, although as soon as you walk in you are met with friendly faces and the staff are all so nice and welcoming. It's a casual place to relax and enjoy an amazing meal. The menu is extensive, which I love. I also personally love that there are lots of pictures so you can visualize what you are getting. The service was quick both when I've gotten things to go and when I've dined in the restaurant. My go-to is the vegetarian burrito. It is so flavorful and delicious! It's large in portion and it's enough for me to have leftovers for lunch the next day. I'm looking forward to branching out and trying some of their other menu items because there is so much on the list that looks delicious that I want to try! read more

Amazing food. Best burritos in Sonoma County. They offer takeout and dine-in options, so you can get some good food whenever you want.

Finally made some time to check out Taqueria California and let me just say that I was not disappointed! I ordered the carnitas super burrito and it was next level. Definitely recommend. read more

Order through DoorDash. Super disappointed in the quality. Also asked for no rice but of course rice. Hardly any meat and had a very " made yesterday" flavor to it. No flavor whatsoever super bland. read more

We stopped in Windsor for the taping of a Food Network show and we're only in town for a quick 36 hrs. The first night we were in late and I was craving good Mexican food. Looking on Yelp, we found Taqueria California. My husband was skeptical as we live in SoCal with some amazing Mexican food places. We found it in the same strip mall as all the Yelp 4 star places, making my husband even more skeptical. Once inside you order from the large picture menu on the wall. There was a very nice young man and woman taking our order and providing service. They truly provided 5 star service. I ordered a Chile Relleno, and my husband a couple of tacos. The beans and the Relleno were superb and the carnitas in the tacos were crispy. Everything was absolutely delicious! We love staying in Healdsburg and enjoying wine country. Another tell-tale sign of a good restaurant is the amount of Uber orders being prepared for pick-up. There was a steady flow of pick-ups during our visit. read more

My new favorite stop for good Mexican food! Breakfast burritos are delicious. Everything's fresh, good quality, and well cooked and prepared. The service and the people could not be nicer. Great experience! read more

I love fish tacos. I searched on the internet for good fish tacos at a reasonable price and found this place. Stood in line, ordered. Waited waited waited. Probably 25 minutes. Then my order came and it was veggie tacos. Whops totally wrong. They fixed it right away and were totally nice about it. Got home and the fish tacos were just ok. I mean I can buy breaded fish at Walmart, put them in the microwave, put it in a tortilla with salsa, cabbage and guacamole too. read more

I called them to order take out. Girl on the phone did not seem like she understood my order. I ordered two enchilada plates-- one with cheese and one with carne asada. She asked if I wanted anything else, I said no. She asked again.. I said no. She asked my name for the order twice again. She told me my total would be around $50 for two plates... which seems pretty crazy. She said it would be ready in ten minutes. My boyfriend went to pick up and they said they did not have my order. I was very confused. I called ahead and had poor phone service and STILL my order was not in the system??? Seemed weird to me. I work in food service and this made me very upset. We had to place a whole new order and wait the whole time again. I order from here frequently and had never had a bad experience. I normally order delivery from Doordash.. and that's saying a lot. Food is good for the price. Hoping for something to change, I don't know that I will call my order in again and I know that restaurants lose money on Doordash ‍ read more

1 carnitas burrito and 16 hours in the hospital later, stage four food poisoning and this is the only thing I ate. Iv never experienced such pain before in my life. Vomiting, diarrhea, severe abdominal pain. Do not eat here, it might actually kill you. read more

We stopped by this strip mall Mexican place for a quick lunch with low expectations. The service was quick and the menu is extensive, including Agua Frescas like Horchata and Jamaica which were super tasty. I ordered two fish tacos which had just the right amount of hot sauce. My husband had the biggest and beefiest steak quesadilla I've ever seen. It was yummy and about an inch thick and at least a foot wide! Even though this spot is located in a strip mall and is unassuming from the exterior, the inside includes some nice touches like Mexican music, beautiful Mexican plates mounted on the walls, a few nice paintings and high ceilings. We really enjoyed the salsa Verde that came with the complementary chips at the beginning of the meal. We would like to return to try more menu items! read more

Best Mexican food in Windsor! My husband and I were looking for a new Mexican restaurant to eat at. We tried a few and were not happy. Luckily tonight we had a great dinner at Taqueria California. Very clean restaurant, quick service. The place was packed with customers and they even had 4 Door Dashers waiting to pick up orders. Our dinners were flavorful and visually appetizing. Thank you for a wonderful meal. read more

2.5 I'd say. This is strictly for the veggie burrito so if it doesn't pertain to you then don't give this much weight. Service was friendly and helpful with any questions, water refills at the machine. They also had a machine to bring food out as well that shows a kitty emoji after delivering things which was nifty. So, the burrito. In a number of places the veggie standard is lettuce, rice, beans, cheese, sour cream. So, I added fajita veggies and avocado for a charge for each to hopefully boost it, but there wasn't really any fajita veggies in it despite paying for it. There's better veggie burrito options in town with actual vegetables. For 15 dollars, this was a waste. On another note though, their salsas were good at least. read more

Got delivered to work, wanted something quick so just settled for a basic carne asada quesadilla. Couldn't have been happier, absolutely delicious and a was definitely enough to fill me up read more

Amazing customer service!! The food was good and filling. We ordered the family dinner with many meats and four sides. I will have to say the brisket was not flavorful and lacked salt, spice/dryrub. It was very tender but the flavor was not there. The other food was tasty. The restaurant itself was cozy and clean. read more

Room was cold and carne asada meat was dry. It was at the end of the day so I can kind of understand why.

This looked like a cool place to grab dinner. I think this location used to be a Starbucks a few years back. I placed my to-go order. The cashier asked if I wanted napkins and forks with my order. I said yes. I paid for my order and waited over 20 minutes for it. When my order was ready I grabbed it and left. When I got home I opened my container to check it out. There were no napkins or forks in the bag Hmmm. I did ask for them. I tried the enchiladas. I chose the red sauce. There was way too much red sauce on them. The shredded chicken tasted good, but there were a few too many hard, burnt and grisly pieces to truly enjoy the enchiladas. The rice was good, just not enough of it. The beans were soupy and had not one bit of seasoning. They were super plain. I want to feel like I can give them another try and hope this was just a rare icky food encounter. We'll see. read more

Love their tacos. Authentic food. Even splurge and buy the hard shell bc it's also amazing! Eat here for takeout at least every two weeks

I had the cheese enchiladas with green sauce. They were really good came with rice and beans. Inside has seating. Ambience is on the side of fast food. They have a nice out side patio. Service was good. I got my food to go. I have to say the bag of chips they give you is super small. If you are craving chips make sure you order extra read more

This place is okay. Nothing great. I have ordered from here a few times and it's always been meh. One major issue is the price of a Mexican soda, $5.00. Little too high for a soda. The staff is nice. The only problem is the waiter is a robot. It tried to hit on me :p. read more

This place has it going on. I came here two days in a row, first day I got the carnitas super burrito and without a doubt, it was the best burrito I've ever had. The carnitas have a very good flavor and the entire thing comes together very well. I returned today (9-7-23) and tried their cheese enchiladas and it was delicious. The cheese, the enchilada sauce, everything along with the rice and beans were on point and very flavorful. They have homemade chips and salsa which is also delicious and the horchata was superb. Of course the staff are all very friendly and helpful and provide wonderful service. Taqueria California has some of the best Mexican food I've ever had and definitely is the best place in Sonoma County. I highly recommend this place and will be returning in the future as this is my new favorite to go to place for great food read more

Quick service (even close to closing - other restaurants in the area turned us away), service by a robot (new trend I know but what could be as cool?), And lots (and I do mean lots and lots) on the menu to serve a diversified group like us. I opted for pork and some vegetarian fare, boys - burritos (almost every guy I know will try anything bundled in a tortilla) and the sister in the group got the sandwich or torte, also could be made any way imaginable. She did it classic and said it was "good". I got the chilli relleno and taco Californian. Awesome-o. Full stars Cartman style. I love the place if relleno is made like mom (yes I grew up around tons of Mexican first gen children as my besties so yes, I know the secrets) and as for making a taco ... It has to walk the fine line of awesome but simply stated. It did. It was between that and street tacos. I could eat street tacos for every meal in a day. In fact I probably have at one point in college. It was all I could afford. Lol. Bonus win Back to Californian taco... Crispy deep fried shell. Pile of shaved iceberg (like what makes an ultimate burger, a burger), tomato and onion chopped. Special sauce .. chipotle mayo. Incredible pork, no really I've had a lot of marinaded pork. Just do it. read more

Good authentic Mexican fare! Very reasonable prices Freshly made I had a chicken flauta and crispy taco. I should have taken a pic - came with fresh shredded chicken, shredded lettuce, pico, cheese and a side of green and red salsa. Why no pic? Because I was hangry and had to just go for it! Trust me - it was very good. The ingredients tasted so fresh - the taco shell was made at facility and was perfect! And something really cool - they have a robot that delivers your food if you eat in!! Great food and fun atmosphere!
