California Taco Shop

"Very very good. Best Mexican I had in a very long time. I wish the restaurant was larger. But that’s OK I only live a mile and a half away…. The family that owns I’ve known for a very long time. The best ! (Remember Edgar in the strip? This is his brothers place. They use mom’s recipes.). Exceptional . ❤️."

"Good food, reasonably priced, friendly staff, plenty on menu items to pick from, and a clean restaurant. Order was correct and came out of the kitchen... hot and delicious! I will definitely be a returning customer!"

"DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS GEM! We happened upon this place purely by chance today as I was planning to shop at a nearby store and we needed some lunch. As a former California resident, when I saw fish tacos I knew it was going to be different than some "white people taco night" deal. I peeked in the window and knew it would be great. I got the carnitas plate which the cashier said was one of his favorites, and my friend got the fish tacos which she said were amazing. Food came out lightining fast My carnitas plate was BUSSIN ya'll, with freshly grilled tortillas on the side and a generous plate of crunchy, meaty, fatty, delicious carnitas, some smooth delicious beans and rice, and a little salad. Topped with the house hot sauce it had the perfect blend of heat and flavor. And they had Mexican coke which I prefer because it doesn't have HFCS. The decor on the wall almost made me feel like I was in a California taco place and that I could walk outside to some hot sunshine and a short walk to the beach. Can't get that here on the east coast but at least the food got me close! Though I am from a couple hours away I plan to return to Pittsburgh several times this year and will be sure to hit this place again. Definitely recommend."

"I tell you what this place was fantastic, I come in not really knowing what to expect because it's in sort of tiny strip mall and there isn't a lot of signage letting you know it's there visible from rt.8 and I never would have noticed it had it not been for google maps recommending it to me because usually you are driving as fast as possible to beat that light by the gas station. Anyway the food was amazing and we ordered nearly everything from the menu, we are taking about $150+ for two people (we had loads of left overs of course) Everything was got was great tasting and exceeding what I had expected. The taste was authentic and the service was great as well. They do have a small seating area which was empty when we got there and nobody ever sat down except for my wife and I. This seems mainly as a carry out joint and there were plenty of people coming in to pick up orders. Cost wise they are in the middle and had a recent price hike due, what I suspect, is inflation and the cost of food going up but it was still a good value for what you got. This is an easy repeat for me as it's on the way to my parents so I will be back for sure."
