I typically go to the Manton location, but I decided to try this one today. The fish taco was mostly just batter, with barely a nugget of fish in it. The shrimp taco had very little flavor. They didn't have any green salsa available. The burrito was decent, but the carnitas and steak tacos were extremely dry. It was still edible, but I definitely recommend going to the Manton location instead—it's far better. I'd suggest taking the extra few minutes to drive there.

This restaurant is amazing, particularly for their Fish Tacos, which are the best I've ever had. The Shrimp Tacos are also quite tasty. I've been a regular here for years. Although prices have gone up recently, it's understandable due to inflation impacting all businesses. Nevertheless, it remains a fairly affordable place to enjoy a delicious lunch. The food is consistently excellent.
You can never go wrong with California taco. This location has the friendliness staff and there service is quick. I get the steak tacos (soft) regular with passion fruit juice and it never fails. I usually do take out but they do have tables and chairs if you want to eat inside.
Great place to eat... Fish Taco's are the best. Shrimp Tacos are also very good. I've been a regular here for years.Prices have gone up recently but inflation has caused that everywhere. Still comparatively low cost way to get lunch. Not to mention good food. Book a table now
I have to mention this: I received my tacos really quickly, but it surprisingly took 30 to 40 minutes to get them. They arrived steaming in a Styrofoam container, packed in a bag. Each taco shell was intact, and every taco came with a slice of lime.
I’ve tried so many taco places in Providence and there a a lot. I refuse to go anywhere else. I literally live steps away from a Mexican restaurant and I’d rather WALK 1.6 miles to California Taco! Especially this location!!! Thank you!!
They make a burrito way small so i politely let them know. The take the burrito back and just toss more rice on it and then give THE SAME one back and i know this because part is warm and part ia cold.
The best tacos you'll find anywhere, no questions asked. It's really that straightforward. My favorite is the ground beef soft taco supreme, but honestly, everything on the menu is fantastic. Book a table now
This is the third location I've visited, and the food is consistently excellent! It's always hot and freshly prepared. The staff is friendly, and the service is fast!
The California steak and fry burrito was soaked in oil, which made it impossible for me to enjoy my meal. I've never had a burrito that was this greasy!
