★★★☆☆ 3.0 Kenikila · Mar 2026

Stopped by California Tortilla for a quick lunch. Good spot for a fast lunch in L'Enfant Plaza. The line moves way faster than other nearby places. The food was okay—nothing to celebrate, but definitely not awful. It stood out in the plaza because the line was much shorter than the other spots, which was a huge plus for getting in and out quickly. I had the nachos; they were decent for the price, though not the best I've ever had. Customer service was good and the seating area was clean. Side note: There was not much on the "Wall of Flame", so I didn't try any sauces.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Tattooer Seamus · Mar 2026

Pretty good spot for lunch, they offer tofu as a protein for vegetarian folks. Service is okay even though someone in the back was talking trash in Spanish about my choice of toppings, perhaps the employees should take into consideration that a lot of non-hispanic people are fluent in Spanish and can understand them. I doubt it was intended maliciously but still isn't good customer service.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Bonnie Colon · Apr 2023

The food was good, but the overall experience and customer service was lacking. Be prepared for very long lines during the lunch hour, that move slowly. Ordering was difficult due to how loud it was. The classic taco was great! I got the pork carnitas and it was flavorful, and cooked well, not dry at all! The quest and chips were also really good as a side

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Darwin Parker · Jun 2022

The food was fine, but customer service is definitely lacking. Some friendliness goes a long way. Our food was promptly prepared, and served accurately. Overall good tasting too, but I likely wouldn’t return due to the lack of friendly staff.

★★★★★ 5.0 Rob Macdonald · Aug 2019

Well this is the first time we have seen a California Tortilla. Looking at the menu, we decided to try it. The family has a new favorite spot. The food was excellent, service was good. The restaurant was very clean and well kept. I had one of the limited time shrimp bowels. It was sweet, hot and very delicious. Everyone else's meals were good as well We will definitely eat at this chain again.
