" I cannot get enough of Tacos California! The carne asada burrito is a game changer – enormous portions and stuffed with perfectly seasoned meat. The fact that the staff is always cheerful adds to the experience. There’s a bit of a wait during busy hours, but it's never too long. Plus, the value for what you get is incredible. I highly recommend this place to anyone passing through Olympia. " (*Curated Review*)

" I drove all the way from Tacoma just to try Tacos California after hearing rave reviews. Unfortunately, it didn't match the expectations. The carne asada was a little overcooked for my taste, and the burrito was rather bland. On the upside, the people working were friendly, and the prices are fair. While it wasn't a win for me this time, I might try again in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying Tacos California, and they didn't disappoint. The burritos are monstrous, filled to the brim with flavorful meats and toppings. The only issue was the salsa, which wasn't as spicy as I would expect. The outdoor atmosphere adds to the experience, making it even more enjoyable. I felt like I was in a little taco paradise. Service was friendly, making it a complete package. Definitely coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos California was a pleasant surprise! We were looking for a quick dinner after an event and were greeted by friendly staff. Their fish tacos were fresh and crispy. However, some of our other items were a little bland, which was disappointing. It would be nice to see a bit more seasoning across the board. I'm willing to give it another shot though, especially since the service was quick and attentive. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally decided to try Tacos California after hearing so many good things, and I must say, it mostly lived up to the hype. The tacos were flavorful and the tortillas felt authentic. However, I found the rice to be a little overcooked. The service was friendly, but the wait times were a bit longer than I expected. The outdoor seating area is cozy enough, but it could really use some more shade on hot days. Overall, not a bad experience and I would come back again. " (*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*)
