" I came here with a group of friends looking to satisfy our Mexican food cravings. At first, we were eager—excited about the large portions. I tried their California burrito expecting a flavor explosion. Instead, it was a huge letdown; it was drenched in grease and the fries inside made it feel soggier than a dish should ever be. Some people enjoyed the carne asada fries, but I felt that it lacked seasoning as well. The service was friendly but incredibly slow. Overall, a frustrating experience; I wouldn’t recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has been a game-changer for me! I've been searching for a place that can deliver a proper California burrito with authentic flavors. The size was generous, and the texture was just right— not mushy at all! My only complaint is the wait time, which was a bit longer than I expected, but the staff were friendly and apologetic. I absolutely loved the beans and the flavor of the carne asada. I will definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to give this place a second chance after a mediocre first visit, hoping it was just an off day. I tried the enchiladas this time with red salsa, which were a bit better than the burrito I had before. They were definitely more flavorful and tasted fresher. However, the refried beans were watery. The service was friendly but slow again, so the experience was mixed overall. Still considering trying something else here on a future visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, California Burrito has some of the biggest portions I've ever seen! I had the California super burrito and it could easily serve two people! It was a little greasy, but overall, the flavor was there. The atmosphere was a bit loud for my liking, but the staff was very engaged and friendly. If you're hungry, this place might be your go-to. I'm impressed! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had really high hopes for California Burrito after seeing the buzz around it. On my first visit, I ordered their famous California burrito and a side of salsa. Unfortunately, the burrito was bland and tasted more like a fast-food product than authentic Mexican cuisine. I was also disappointed to find out that the salsa was mostly tomato water. The staff was friendly, which was a plus, but I won't be rushing back anytime soon. Overall, I rated it a 2 out of 5. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere was friendly, and the salsa bar was impressive! But the burrito I had tasted like it had been through a microwave rather than made fresh. I couldn't discern any authentic flavor, which was disappointing. I was excited for the experience but ultimately left feeling underwhelmed. The guacamole was no better—tasted like it came from a jar. I'll be considering other options next time I'm craving Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally got around to trying California Burrito, and I have to say it's got potential. The portions are HUGE, which explains the price tag. I ordered the chicken burrito and a side of carne asada fries. The fries were really tasty, but the burrito was a bit underwhelming in terms of flavor. The atmosphere is casual—definitely a step up from a fast-food joint but not quite a cozy sit-down. I'll give them another shot because I like the idea of supporting a new local spot.
