★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Nicole Moronta · Nov 2025

Horrible place. I’ll never eat here again. Garbage food. My husband bought me some birria tacos and got himself a burrito enchilada. It turns out they didn’t even pack my tacos. Once he got home, he had to go back to pick them up. When he came back home, the food was extremely salty — completely inedible. My birria taco didn’t even come with lime. It was cold and so salty I can’t even explain it. And his food, which was supposed to be a burrito enchilada, tasted like cinnamon. They gave him the wrong meat, and it was also extremely salty. It’s a horrible place. Never in my life will I order from here again.

Best authentic Mexican food I've gotten on the East Coast. For the amazing quality, the prices are unbeatable. $2 for a great variety of authentic corn tortilla tacos is unmatched. Also, the price and quality of a burrito the size of my forearm is insane. I've been to 5 different locations, and it's always been an amazing experience with great service, an amazing atmosphere, and top notch food !

California Taco Shop is a hidden gem! Their shrimp tacos are a rare find and absolutely delicious. Quick service and great taste make it a must-try for taco lovers on the go. Highly recommend!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Local Consumer · Nov 2025

Nice clean new restaurant. A little tough to communicate. I ordered regular tacos and received fried tacos instead. No big deal but they were super hard and difficult to eat. I'd try again, maybe. Just okay.

This location used to be my favorite, but now it’s gone downhill. I will not be back wasting my money on food that’s stale and soggy. Ordered nachos and a side of rice, rice was hard, nachos was so soggy from the condensation from the container made me sick to even look at.
