" Tacos California really is a spot for great Mexican cuisine! Their menu is extensive, and I was thrilled to find vegan options as well. I ordered the veggie burrito, which was loaded with fresh vegetables and perfectly seasoned rice. While it was a bit oily, the flavors made up for it. The outdoor seating is pleasant, but I wish they had more shelter for when it rains or is too hot. The staff was friendly, taking the time to chat while preparing orders. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to Tacos California was a bit of a mixed bag. While I loved the flavor of the carnitas, the portion size felt smaller than I remembered. The service was prompt, but there was an issue when my order got mixed up with someone else’s. Thankfully, they resolved it quickly and were very apologetic. The local outdoor food truck scene adds a nice ambiance, but it gets crowded during peak hours, making it a bit uncomfortable to enjoy your meal. I’ll return but hoping for better next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not my best experience at Tacos California, unfortunately. I ordered a simple carne asada burrito, but it was dry and did not come with enough salsa on the side. The wait time was longer than expected too. The staff was friendly at least, but this visit left me wanting more. I may give it another try, but I'll be cautious about what I order. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've ordered a few times from Tacos California and it’s always decent, but I think it has room to improve. I’ve found the tacos can be a hit or miss; some days they're packed with flavor while other times they lack seasoning. The portions are good, and the prices are reasonable, but the inconsistency worries me. Service is typically decent as well. I’ll still keep trying! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing experience at Tacos California! The food was absolutely delicious and reminded me of the places I've tried in Mexico. The tacos are incredibly authentic, and I loved the attention to detail in seasonings and freshness of ingredients. The staff was friendly, making the visit enjoyable. I also appreciated the atmosphere of the truck yard, which felt communal and welcoming. Will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos California is one of my favorite places to eat! The tacos are flavorful and the tortilla is always fresh. I appreciate how they have maintained their authenticity, which is sometimes hard to find outside of California. The only downside is that during busy times, there's sometimes a wait for food. Still, it's worth it. I love grabbing a taco and sitting outside on a sunny day. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoyed our food from Tacos California! The food is all very flavorful, and the big portions leave me satisfied. A friend recommended this place, and it certainly didn't disappoint. I had the chicken burrito which was filled to the brim. The outdoor setting is nice though a bit cramped depending on the time. But hey, it’s a food truck, what can you expect? Worth a visit for sure. " (*Curated Review*)
