I come here for lunch at least one or two times a month. The carne asada fries are what lured me and they didn’t disappoint. Since then I’ve tried every kind of taco except the fish and shrimp (not a huge seafood fan) and every one has been excellent. Their burritos are the size of a small child. Personally, I like getting the combination platters. I think the enchilada + beef burrito combo is the best bang for your buck, but my favorite (pictured) is probably the pollo asado. Their house red and green salsas add the perfect amount of flavor and heat. I really need hit up one of their breakfast burritos one day. I find it hilarious that the restaurant is right next to a Taco Bell too. Hell of a flex.

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.

Felt like las palmas meets homemade, plus tons of toppings. Or maybe – like a more intense flavor homemade leaning version of patrons.
Overall really nice mexican food in the area. Intense, sharp flavors. Tacos were packed.
Prices were a little higher than i expected. Paid 16 dollars for 3x a la carte items, but perhaps that’s the deal these days
Worth mentioning it was fast service in an authentic feeling joint.
I’d go back and enjoy it. It’s not blow your mind mexican food, but it’s quite good and you’ll likely enjoy it

The food was absolutely delicious, reasonably priced, and quickly made! I had the chicken burrito and churros. Before ordering online, I’d recommend calling them since they were out of tres leches but it was still listed on their website.
The grilled chicken burrito was quite large. I customized it without onions and they were ensured there were no onions. The sauce in the burrito is excellent. A bit creamy, flavorful, and plentiful. The chicken is tender and there is quite a lot of chicken! The outer shell is soft and when I picked it up, it was still warm. Took only 10 minutes to make. The burrito comes with two sauces for free (red and green). Both are somewhat acidic and quite spicy. You’ll love them if you are a fan of real spice.
The churros were the best I have ever had. You can add caramel to them as well, probably for a small upcharge. The plain version was still amazing. Crispy on the outside, and fluffy in the inside. It was not overly hard. There is some sort of sweet cream/stuffing on the inside which was also quite unique. I believe you get 6 with each order.
Overall, I highly recommend the California Taco Shop. It is a great bang for your buck, has authentic flavors, and lots of variety. Plus, they make your food very quickly. Delicioso!

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.

OMGGG EVERYTHING WAS SO GOOOOD! The food was amazing. The staff was kind, organized, and serene despite the busy weekend dinner rush. We came for my sister in law’s birthday and they took care of our table while managing a steady stream of customers.
