Came here for lunch on the way to solvang. Everything in town was crowded. Pleasantly surprised when we found this place. Chile relleno was EXCELLENT! Kids loved their tostadas and burritos. And yummy margaritas to boot!

Fantastic food and vegan options. And they make their own strawberry purée. So even thought he bar does not have a blender - get a strawberry margarita or daiquiri on the rocks!! OMG it is delicious. Great atmosphere and they are opening a place in Buellton soon also. Can’t wait to try that one too. **Hidden gem!**

Honestly worst experience today 12/17/22 I honestly saw no communication no customer service no host. We waited over 30 mins just to interrupt the manager for one coffee, waited 20 more for our order. We didn’t want to be rude and simply get up and leave, due to having already ordering our cold food!

A great find! Delicious food and a full bar!

Our favorite spot for Mexican food in the valley! Amazing authentic tacos on delicious house made tortillas. We always get an order of agua chili as well to share which is *amazing*. Similar to ceviche, it's super fresh, flavorful, and a big portion. A great take out option as well.

Good quality food, the staff is extremely accommodating and friendly, pricing is great for the area. I always try to stop by when staying nearby.

Was visiting the area and will definitely make it a spot I will visit again!

This place is amazing. You can taste the quality of the food and so much flavor in every single bite. Las Torres ceviches are to die for . I highly recommend stopping here when driving through Santa Ynez.

Best Mexican Food in Santa Ynez Valley!

the best food ever best sea food and great drinks

Every taco place has its own style. Here I got the best tacos I had in a while. I recommend the place if you love Tacos.

First time eating here and it was DELICIOUS!! Friendly environment and fast service! Definitely coming back! 2 👍👍

Amazing food. Above all, extremely happy with the service. 👌👌

Stopped in this place yesterday afternoon not expecting much but was pleasantly, actually more than pleasantly surprised. Ordered here tacos combos for wife and I. Her's was chili verdes, mine was vegetarians--both orders were really great. My tacos were tasty roasted vegetables with cheesy beans--didn't expect to find a great veggie dish in a out of the way place like this, but I did. Also side refried beans and spanish rice were excellent, just kick I remembered from home when I was a kid. Needless to say, I whole hearty recommend this place. Lastly, there was an edible purple lily looking flower on each plate! Less

Best taco salad I ever had. Definitely want to come back again.

Food was good. Service alittle slow otherwise it was good.

10 out of 10! Tacos are absolutely incredible!

Definitely recommend it here. Fresh food & good Vibes. Gladys attended my family great.

Wow , never thought solvang had amazing tasting Mexican food - I was charging my ca rebar by and order food from here - wow - really good quesadilla , super nachos - and fries - i recently went to los Cabos and even tho it’s Mexico the food was so bland I kept telling them it didn’t taste authentic 🤷🏻‍♂️ this place does . Congrats guys really good food - good prices too .

Rice, beans and aji sauce were very tasty. Vegetarian and kids friendly menu.

Best asada tacos I’ve had anywhere.

Excelente servicio y rica comida! Personal muy amable.

Muy buena comida y sus empleados muy amables,exelente servicio

Great food

This was great. The food was good. Every plate they brought out looked good. Even the beans were good. I had chicken torta. My husband had shrimp tacos. They even put a orchid on the plate for decoration.

Facebook aucks. and the burritos and ceciche are 🔥

Hand made tortillas, aqua chile sauce, nice size seafood menu, good beans, beers on tap and great service.

Stopped by at closing, so hungry after wine tasting in Los Olivos. Food was So goooood. Thank you so much!. Best nachos, tacos and burritos ever!

Buen servicio

Muy buena comida y atención nada más que ya las tortas las asen miniaturas 😅🤣

Best tacos I’ve had in a long time. Nice outdoor seating. Will definitely be back.

Pretty decent food. Came across this place by accident. The relleno plate was plentiful. Mild tasting and filling. The breakfast burrito was tasty and I'd order it again. This place also serve's beer. 🍺 yay!!

Food was was great it's a must!!!

Great place to eat after being at the lake, or looking for a great price value. Each time we have been here the food has been consistent and flavorful. This place is an excellent place to eat on a budget and still has great food and a bar if you need drinks.

Great place to eat after being at the lake, or looking for a great price value. Each time we have been here the food has been consistent and flavorful. This place is an excellent place to eat on a budget and still has great food and a bar if you need drinks. The salsa is a green salsa with a splash of pico de gallo in it and it tastes good with their homemade chips. I like to have the fajita burrito or the surf and turf burrito which is called mar y tierra. That means sea and land. Less

Fajita bowl is delicious, nice relaxing place. highly recommended

By far some of the best tacos in the valley! Handmade tortillas, amazing flavors and the guacamole is perfectly executed!!

Delicious homemade style food. And loved the Micheladas. we will be going back.

Great place, only downfall is if you are used to calling in to order they only offer online ordering. Great food, authentic tasting and not too expensive

Great food! Great service

Great food and service. Had chili rellano and taco. Really good and different salsa.

Had a good lunch with friends . I had tacos she had a burrito. Her burrito was big enough for two. Service was great.

all the food is delicious nothing beats this place

Coldest Beer in town.

If I could give them zero stars, I would. It is not because of the food but because the way they drive in our neighborhood. We have called 4 or 5 times to ask them to slow down and they continue to ignore our requests. Management not responding! If you don't believe me, I can show you the videos!

Food was good, unfortunately there was a long piece of hair stuck in my burrito🙃

Food is good but service is questionable. They don't provide chips with your guacamole. They charge you an extra fee for chips after you get your guacamole. Guacamole is good but bring a spoon.

La comida está rica y a buen precio,el personal fue muy amable.

Great food you can order on the app. Outside dinning.

It was fine. The tierra y mar taco was good. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly

Excelente calidad

My order was wrong. I called, said I was hungry and I'd eat it and that I wanted to try to prevent someone else from getting the wrong order. I was disappointed, but calm.

This is a college students idea of good Mexican quantity over quality. Too much filler on a carne asada, and Cali burrito. Creamy based salsa and horchata way to sweet. I was hopeful but left dissatisfied.

You guys are awesome love the staff love your food best Taco's in town

😎✔🎯💯🎯

They are best !! They put everything in it ! And they have 5 different kinds of salsa. But get the fajita burrito!! You will not be sorry !!

Food was mehhh, overpriced also

Riquísima la comida

I LOVE the personalized service and great food at California tacos. We eat there every week when working in the Valley.

Great food and fast service and friendly staff 👌..

Good! My husband really likes their carne asada burritos!

They taste as good as they look. Small Place served by people from Guadalajara, Jalisco. Served by a sweetheart from Zapopan, Jalisco. Amazing how you can drive a few hours away from big cities and find a place like California Tacos in Solvang! What? Yup! Incredible place. A need to go place when staying in Solvang!

Great food

our go to spot when we're in town. food is always amazing, service and hospitality is always above and beyond. they recently expanded, and the place looks beautiful!

The lengua tacos were great! Love the refried beans too. Plenty of outdoor seating.

Great place to fined vegan food! I got vegan tacos delicious!

Awesome food, love to grab a bite here when in town visiting family. They just expanded their footprint so once covid is over they will have tons of dining space!

Buenas bebidas y rica comida

Great Taste

Fo

Tasty & big portion

Cashier friendly. Cook ....ehhh...leave it at that. Meat lovers burrito very salty and meats were dry. I'll give them one more try. Other items were good.

We called to place an order over the phone and we looked at the menu that is displayed on here ....when we arrived to the location the pricing is completely different and $2.00 higher than what's listed on here ....luckily we are from out of town and we will not be buying from this place every again!.....Update the store manager personally called me which I truly appreciate and rectified the situ...

Good food! Nice people! Thank you Cal Taco.

Delicious yummy Yummy

Shrimp tacos were ok

Wow!! Really good food and salsa 😍🤗😁

I love, love, love, street tacos; and this placed CRUSHED IT! The best tacos I have had in several years. Salsa bar was excellent (salsa verde, very tasty).

They have amazing fish tacos! Great lunch vibes. Perfect place to go on a date if parents are also coming, just one though.

Tacos were absolutely amazing. Salsa's were also 💯%

Good food with a peruvian twist. Always fresh affordable and a good beer selection. I suggest the shrimp cocktail so much shrimp yuuum

Love there soft tacos

Friendly good food

One of the good Mexican food joint in the area. Everything is pretty good. It gets really slow when it’s busy and inside the restaurant is pretty small as well.

Always great food great prices

Muy sabrosos , verdadera cocina mexicana

Delish! Kids bean and cheese burritos for 5 bucks, amazing beans. Fish taco is my favorite but anything with their signature waca chili sauce is going to be great. Great lunch specials.

Happy smiles all the time

Never disappointing, always delicious, wacachile is amazing.

Had a breakfast burrito, very tasty and huge !

Went there for the first time and was blown away at how good the food was! The flautas are the way to go as they are the best ones I've ever had. You'll be treated to some cheery singing by the chef as you can see him in the kitchen preparing the meals. It makes the whole experience even better as it gives the restaurant a joyful ambience. I definitely plan on going back!

Great place

The food is really good, but I don't like the service of those in the box because they have no way of bidding a customer

Fresh good food for a dinner or a catered event. Go get u It

Food and service was great

Shrimp burrito was bomb

Homemade Tortillas are the BOMB!!

The pork taco was favorable

All homemade authentic Mexican food! the tacos, burritos and rice and beans are outstanding! Will be back never disappointed A+++

Best tacos! We love this place.

Best Veggie Vegan tacos I've had in a long time. No fake meat, just sauteed veggies, beans and rice. My friend had their tacos and she loved them. Highly recommend.

un exelente servicio un personal muy amable y muy eficientes sin duda alguna lo recomiendo

Good food kind of pricey.

Es la primera vez que vamos... pedí una torta cubana y la verdad estaba muy rica... si recomiendo este lugar... además es económico

A must visit every time Im even close to them....

First of all the place is not easy to find. The signage is not good. My wife had the Carnitas burrito. It was ok, but we had never seen rice and beans in that kind of burrito. Keep in mind that my wife is Latin and is an excellent cook. I had the five taco plate. They seem to make their own tortillas and for me they were too thick. The meats were just ok. The server/cashier was nice and friendly.

Excellent chicken fajitas.

Flavor going down, not as good as it use to be

Very good tahnk you!

Nice little place. Good food and reasonably priced. Go on Taco Tuesday, very good deal.

It's ok I guess

Love coming here. All the staff is attentive and friendly, and let's not forget the asada burrito is amazing! They have a great salsa bar. It's worth the extra $$ for the quality. This isn't a Taco Roco!

Good food comfy and friendly.

Tripa tacos are good 😎😉

Great food really good prices!!!!

Great atmosphere!!

Great food with fair prices.

El servicio no estuvo muy bien y las aguas de frutas horrible

Almost choked on the horchata powder at the bottom of my drink. Sadly I survived but would have given 5 if I hadn't.

Excellant food great service.....

Some menu items are very good and others are just ok

The crew friendly and fast Mucho gracias muchachos

This place has the best asada fries I've ever had as well as other delicious dishes! Crispy fries topped with perfect asada and cheese melted on top then drizzled with sour cream and their awesome waca chile sauce!

Awesome place, tasty food, served fast, and excellent customer service, priced well.

Food is always great! Staff is super friendly!

Good food, reasonably priced. Great salsa bar. The service is sometimes grumpy though.

Every time I come to work up here, I always gotta have the tacos. Great spot. Inexpensive and filling.

Love the Waca Chili salsa

I've never had a bad experience here. The Johnny Special is my go to, it's a low carb plate and it's sooooo good
