Cal Taco presents a blend of enjoyable dining experiences, highlighted by its flavorful charbroiled burgers and ample breakfast burritos. However, the use of disposable plates and fluctuating prices, including extra charges for condiments, has raised eyebrows. While the food typically impresses, ranging from juicy burgers to tasty sides, customer service can be inconsistent, affecting the overall vibe. Patrons appreciate the casual atmosphere, making it a suitable spot for various gatherings. Despite minor flaws in service and pricing, Cal Taco remains a beloved local spot known for its hearty meals and friendly staff, making it worth a visit.

Was Paul Johansing at California Taco a mag?
Forget In-n-Out Burger. This place has burgers more fresh and delicious with a far shorter wait time than the big name franchises. Toasted buns make these extra special burgers, exploding with lettuce and onion and available with a selection of cheese (or not). Because they also offer Mexican food, you can opt to get your burger with chips and salsa rather than fries and I strongly encourage this option! Indoor and o... View all feedback.
What JohnPaul McCrary dislikes about California Taco:
Eating at a restaurant should not mean being served on disposable foam plates that can melt from hot food, and using plastic cutlery. It shouldn't be difficult to wash a real plate, fork, and knife. The hashbrowns should be easy to cook, like the crispy hashbrowns you get at McDonald's. View all feedback.
If you're looking for traditional American fare, head to the Classic Diner. Their burgers, tacos, and shakes are top-notch. I also highly recommend trying any of their breakfast items.
We weren't sure why the total cost of the steak-Torta we ordered came to about $12, as we didn't see any explanation on the bill. There didn't seem to be a card minimum, but even if there was, the price was higher than the usual $5 minimum. The Torta itself was filled with salad and a thin, disappointing steak. Overall, it wasn't worth writing home about. Maybe we'll give their burgers a try next time, but that's about it.
It's been about 10 years since I last visited, but I returned for a breakfast meat muffin and it was delicious. It could have been a little less salty, but still tasty. The salsa was amazing. The service was great and the place was clean. It was perfect.
I was pleasantly surprised by this place. The burgers were excellent. I give it two thumbs up.
I travel frequently throughout California and I must say that the hamburgers at 5:45 are the best in the Central Coast.
