“ Moved from San Diego and this is the spot if you want a Cali burrito that's authentic to San Diego. The carne asada fries are a winner also 10/5 ”
“ Great food great authentic tastes! They have a wide selection and if asked they might suggest some off menu items. Can't get enough!!! ”
“ I'm from California and have been looking for rolled tacos FOREVER. Mission accomplished! The meat is great quality, loved the salsa options too. Come check them out, we will be back soon! ”
“ Loved the food here, so far it is the closest we found to California's burrito. The shrimp and Carne Asada burrito is delicious ”
“ This place is underrated and I feel like it's about to make its mark as a staple in The Woodlands. They offer more of a Baja style menu of Mexican tacos and burritos amongst other West Coast Mexican favorites. I've enjoyed breakfast burritos as well as tacos. I have been there 3 times already in the last month and plan to go back next weekend. You'll definitely want to try their freshly made chips and salsa, and their pico is delicious too. I have had to ask for it on the side, and I like to mix it with the red salsa and pour over both my tacos and burritos. I don't want to recommend just one menu item because each bite I've taken has been delicious. They also serve alcoholic drinks in addition to traditional non-alcoholic beverages. ”
“ I happen to be in the area and wanted to try something new and I'm glad I came here! I made an online order for pickup. I tried the quesa-birria tacos and the mar y tierra specialty taco! The mar y tierra was definitely a winner and I'm upset I didn't get more! I'm not usually a fan of corn tortillas but Califas homemade tortillas will have you change your mind ! If you're in the area, definitely stop by! ”
“ Really enjoy this restraunt. Excellent service , clean tables and floors, fantastic food. ”
“ Pretty good food. Service was really great as well. The restaurant is filled with bright colors and very pretty lights. Makes for an incredible night scene while eating some yummy tacos. Prices are very reasonable compared to other places. Food amounts were generous. Keep in mind, Califas is counter service so they don't have to check on you however the lady working tonight went about and beyond any counter service personnel would do. She didn't have to check on us, but she did. She didn't have to bring us water, but she did. Will definitely be come back for some more yumminess. ”
“ Why 5 stars? Because this was one of my favorite new places I've tried in 2024. --- --- --- We have had Califas bookmarked for a while, and nearly visited several times, but plans kept falling a part on us. Finally, when we had an appointment less than a mile down the road, it became our destiny to finally eat at Califas. We ordered a whole bunch of stuff and we loved all of it. Seriously, everything we had was 5-stars. If I had to pick one item that was my least favorite, I would say it was the Baja Shrimp Taco, but that's just because I'm forced to pick one. I would still happily order that again on a future visit. My favorite was the Adobada Calfias Taco. It was very unique, in that, it was one giant piece of pork that was longer than the tortilla itself. But inter-mixed with the pork was a bunch of cheese and other greasy goodness. I was pleasantly surprised, as the first bite was way different (better) than I expected. I also ordered the Mar Y Tierra taco with steak, rice and beans, chips and guacamole. All of it was great. Jamaica Agua Fresca on tap? I had approximately 3.5 cups of it. My wife ordered a California burrito and it hit the spot perfectly. She went to college in California and said that it very much reminded her of her time there. She did end up asking for some pico to mix into it, but I thought it was great as-is. Califa, I will be back. And I will tell the world about you. ”
