" I really wanted to love this place, and while the food was good, it didn't quite meet my expectations for authentic Mexican fare. I've had better tacos for less elsewhere. The service was decent but could improve. The environment felt more like a fast-food place than a cozy eatery. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a pleasant surprise! The chilaquiles were divine, a dish I've struggled to find elsewhere. It felt truly home-cooked and authentically Mexican. Portions are generous for the price, and it left me very satisfied. The restaurant, however, could benefit from some freshening up. I will return for certain! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a pretty decent meal here, yet some things could improve. The tacos were flavorful and the portion sizes were enough to share. However, the service was wait-and-see, and the atmosphere could be more inviting. I felt a little rushed while eating, which detracted from the overall experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" California Taco Shop is a hidden treasure! I’ve been searching for authentic Mexican food here in Kansas, and I believe I found it. My favorite was the shrimp tacos; they had a delightful crunch with fresh veggies. The portions were generous too! The only downside was the slight wait time, but the quality of food makes up for it. I would say it's well worth the visit and plan to try their breakfast burritos next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful place! The authentic burritos here are unlike anything I’ve tasted outside of California. Massive portions that are worth every penny, and I love how they serve homemade salsas that add a touch of personal flair. The staff was friendly, and the whole experience felt welcoming. I will come back to savor more dishes soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious tacos! They really know how to do it right. Fresh ingredients and fantastic flavor. I ordered a veggie burrito, and even without meat, it was filling. The service left a bit to be desired, but I was impressed by the food quality. I’ll be back, that’s for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely the best taco shop around! I had the fish tacos and they were fresh, crispy, and generously portioned. The price is also very reasonable for what you get. I truly felt the love in the food and I can’t wait to bring my family next time. The only drawback is that the dining area could use a bit of decoration. " (*Curated Review*)
