First of all, they do take credit card, contrary to what AI and other reviews say. (Also, Cali Spartan Mexican Kitchen has not been open since the year 205, AI.)
Now that that’s out of the way, we came here last minute without checking reviews because Antojitos was closed for repairs or construction or something.
There was a language barrier that caused some misunderstandings and hiccups during ordering, but to their credit they fixed some (but not all) of the resulting issues.
I saw them seat one couple at closing time, so that is another plus for them.
The downsides:
The food was only okay. The lengua was too chewy and the cabeza was too burnt. The tripa and al pastor were decent but not amazing. The spicy pickles and sauces, even their spiciest sauce, were not very spicy, other than the pickled jalapeño. Also the pickles were softer than preferred, though YMMV.
They’re expensive. 2 dishes and 2 sides with tax and tip came out to almost 60 bucks. I realize they’re a brick and mortar but the same exact order at Antojitos is less than half that, with tax and tip (I also tip 20% at food trucks, so that’s not why it was so much more expensive here).
Parking is tight and street parking is difficult as well.
The music was too loud. I’m a musician and the last thing I want is to go deaf.
They’re only open until 10.

The items were noting is the birria and the crispy tacos. If you order the torta birria, the bread will soak up more of the consume. Inside and outside (covered with propane heaters) dining.
We were a large group ~30. Marcos and his team were able to accommodate. Thought we would slam the kitchen but food came out relatively quick

I may be biased but I’m automatically giving them 5-stars for their Taylor Swift playlist. It’s nonstop Taylor mix for 10 minutes then switches to a Mexican playlist and back. Finding parking here still gives me nightmares. I went on a weekend and the parking is still horrible. It’s next to SJSU so the nimbys here restrict all the parking. Normal people can’t come to Cali-spartan. Only students and locals. The parking lot is also a mess. People just park anywhere, double park, and block people in. I really dont understand how the system here works. It’s really just a free for all. The crispy tacos though are so amazing. It’s all the fatty goodness you want to heal your soul. I want to come back so bad but the parking gives me shivers.

Crispy tacos and nachos were delicious, the service was OK. Will definitely go back to try other dishes.
Cash only. Plenty of parking.

Flavorful, fresh and delicious food.
I will say one of the best in Bay Area.
Best orange sauce I ever had(you can buy a bottle) which goes well with any cuisine.
Highly recommended!
Note: they accept cash or Venmo

This taco place is awesome! Everything was tasty and the portions were big. The drinks are massive, and the service was great! Just remember to bring cash.

Came here for lunch and was quite disappointed with the food quality. Overall it was not very flavorful and the brisket tacos tacos were inedible

Best tacos in bay area. The have vegetarian options too, Cali-taco veg option is must try. Their Mango Lover lemonade is bomb.

Great place for some simple tacos and large menu selection if you’re craving anything else. Recommend the quesabirria and tacos al pastor.
