120 Boundary St, West End QLD 4101, Australia
Australia's largest nachos & freshest tacos, homemade tortillas, featuring Brisbane's first Margarita Garden! Voted Queensland's #1 Mexican restaurant.
Very disappointed as we have tried to go 4 times in the past 2 months. Every time it has been advertised as open on google. Showed up to a closed restaurant. We tried to call in advance but no answer. The few times that we have been and it’s been open the food was good.
Attened a private function on Sunday and was told on the day that we were unable to order from the bottomless margaritas package menu however this was never communicated to us during the booking process and our " private function" had to share the space with additional bookings due to space restrictions. One the day I ordered the Nachos had hair in it, when I approached the server I wasn't offered an apology she just look the plate and Said " ok, so you want a new one". I would not recommend this place for group booking. Rude staff and very unprofessional
Was originally excited to come and try out the food, however was very underwhelmed very quickly. While perusing the menu, I looked over to another member of our group who pulled a hair out of their nachos, which was unbelievably off putting. I do credit the staff for sorting this out immediately though. I ordered the steak and chicken tacos and the salsa so overpowering and spicy I couldn't taste anything else. The chicken was dry, tasteless and overall just very average. My partner ordered the pastelitos at the same time as their tacos and they didn't arrive until a good 15mins later. My partner took one bite of them, said they were super oily and then left the plate. At $14 for something we couldn't eat we weren't impressed. Overall none of us will be back, which is a shame because it's a cute place with a relaxed vibe. If they could just sort out their food in the kitchen, the place would be perfect.
Really delicious food! Great sized portions, would reccomend the loaded fries and attending on taco Tuesday for affordable and yummy tacos. Good vegetarian options with halloumi and fable pulled mushroom available. Love this place !
Had the most amazing tacos tonight!! As a gluten and dairy free girly it can be hard to find somewhere to eat but cali tacos delivered the goods tonight. Hands down the best tacos I've had in a very long time!! And service was on point.
California Tacos West End is a delightful spot for a casual get-together with friends. The sharing portions are generous and delicious, perfect for a communal dining experience. The cocktails are tasty and complement the food well. However, the tall bar chairs could use some improvement as they are uncomfortably designed. Overall, a fun place with great food and drinks, just be prepared for seating discomfort.
Nice place to visit, good atmosphere ..not much option for veg but u can ask them ...do some mix & match and they will make for you..usual test like same as other Mexican restaurant. Staff is really nice & helpful
Delicious food (especially the burrito!), the cocktails were all super well-made and came so quickly, atmosphere was great and relaxed, friendly staff always happy to have a chat. Have been twice so far and will be back lots more!
The best tacos I ve had in a long time. And the corn chips and salsa were *chef s kiss* Super quick service
Lovely outdoor setting with fusion tacos and a nice drinks menu to wash down... Will be back soon...
One of the best Taco places in Brisbane. There was only one server but she was excellent at her job, super polite and helpful.
My tacos were cold, the gf fish taco is in fact a fish finger.
Charlotte and Ruby made the experience amazing! Had the best time
I have had Cali tacos in gold coast and it was an amazing food experience, unfortunately west end was a big let down in comparison, the chicken was grey and tasted like fish in the Hawaiian taco, they didn t have catch of the day taco, the shrimp tacos were soggy tasteless and the shrimp were not crispy. The drinks were overpriced we had the strawberry daiquiri jug for 48 dollars and it didn t even taste like there was alcohol in it. The Californian burrito was also just gray looking and overpowered by this green coriander sauce. In saying that the seasoned fries were nice and the fish taco was good.
A nice looking place and cannot fault the service, but the food itself was very underwhelming. The chicken in my taco tasted all right but was barely warm and resembled leftovers. My friend ordered the catch of the day taco which ended up being out so substituted with the crumbed fish, which again seemed barely brought up to temperature. In contrast the jalapeno poppers were sizzling hot but bland, largely rice and tomato flavoured vs the spicy, cheesy goodness of a typical jalapeno popper. The sweet potato fries were also hot and pretty tasty, probably the nicest thing we ordered. Overall Im sorry to say it was not worth the money, yet with more care in the kitchen it would definitely be a fun place to catch up with friends so hopefully they can up their game!
Most amazing nachos ever! Great serving sizes and great value
Service was good Beverages limited Food was over cooked Sauces well only one to hot for some Less appetisers more mains suggested
This place is amazing! Best Mexican resto in town!
The food here was salty. No flavour, no seasoning just salt. Tacos are flour tortillas & had no flavour. Tacos, nachos and corn chips were all salty. Service was horrible. We came early when it was empty and as soon as people came in we weren t served. Our food was 45 minutes late after our entree!!!! We asked 3 times when our food was coming out. Couldn t wait to get out of there.
Best tacos in Brisbane!!! Food was incredible, staff made the experience they are all absolutely lovely, fantastic atmosphere. Can t wait to come back already!
An awesome place to chill with friends with such great vibes. Loved the serving size of the fries.
I am not gunna lie, this place is pretty expensive for burritos and tacos but the food is delicious and the staff are really prompt and courteous.
Abbey is amazing fantastic service
Abbeys service was wonderful.
We visited California Tacos for lunch and received great service by the waitress. The food was tasty and full of flavour. They dont skimp on fillings, if you enjoy Mexican food definitely check these guys out.
Margaritas and tacos, say no more. These tacos were tasty and the margaritas were on point. There was a few of us so I got to try a few items. Staff were friendly. I ll definitely be back
I held my 21st birthday party here and it was just amazing. The staff were so helpful and kind. Macca was amazing to communicate with and shout out to Abby and Ruby for being behind the bar! They made my night so special, I have zero regrets about my venue choice!
Amazing place, the best tacos in Brisbane!
Such a good vibeeeeeeee! I love it great place to be!

Got the taco plate with the fish & shrimp tacos and it was sooo good. Chilli margs are 10/10 as well - will be back! Vegetarian options: They have some vego and vegan taco options
Some insanely delicious nachos. Got the huge share plate of reef and beef tacos for $59 - fed 4 people easily. Huge prawns and great amount of toppings/sauce. Freshly made mango salsa as well! Everything is brand new and renovated - so it s comfortable and a fantastic vibe. Highly recommend!
Such a lovely venue, especially the back area amazing! Staff and owners are lovely, food was delicious, and really great drinks! Couldn t recommend more highly
This place is fantastic! Great drinks and food, with tasty vegetarian options. The staff are all super friendly and the atmosphere was awesome!
Good deals for two ppl, and tasty , we ordered surf n turf nachos. Friendly service
This place is such a vibe. The best tacos, most delicious cocktails and great music! Cant wait to visit again in the sunshine
Excellent addition to the west end food scene! Great drinks and even better tacos
Great food !!
Scratches an itch, but it s not so authentic. I was surprised by the aioli, and the carne asada isn t like any carne asada I ve had before. (Sorry, but as one San Diegan to another, I was hoping for something like home.)
Delicious food and good sized portions (bring your appetite), alongside a fun frozen cocktail list. Fun vibes, super friendly owners and nice staff.
Really yummy tacos. Would definitely recommend to my friends
The tacos are fine, nothing special. Was expecting a lot better given all the 5 star reviews
Was so excited to try, but a real let down :( fish tacos under-seasoned, beef taco overly salted and undercooked tortilla, inedibly oily corn chips, gauc was fine if tiny, but the salsa was tasteless. Attractive venue so I hope they tune up the menu.
Terrific night out. Plentiful & well presented house made tacos. We all loved this restaurant..8 of us attended all happy!!
Fantastic Mexican food, I had the taco plate and it was so well sized for price! Margs were delish and staff are so lovely! 100% recommend!
Really good atmosphere, very attentive staff who are keen to recommend food options. Very reasonable priced with a large menu, 100% will be back again (currently my 2nd time in 1 week). Food
Amazing nachos and portion sizes! The owner is so friendly. In a busy service period he was still willing to stop and chat.
Delicious food, fun and tasty drinks menu and such a fun and chill vibe - especially in the outdoor area. Service is friendly - the pork tacos are to die.
Great venue here in West End, tacos are delicious. Beers are cold and staff are great craic. Definitely coming back for more.
Terrific experience. Great food, Mexican beers, fantastic fit out!
Great food and great vibes
Best nachos in Brisbane. Couldn t recommend this place enough!
This place is so amazing! The food is ridiculously good and the atmosphere is on point. Loving the vibes here and such good music to get you in the mood for a good night. Let s gooo!!!!
Delicious food with generous portions. The Hawaiian taco is a must! This place is such a vibe!
Went on Saturday evening and it s my new favourite place in West End!!!
From the moment you walk in, till the moment you waddle out, bustin at the seams California Tacos West End is simply sensational. Staff outstanding, drinks amazing. The Surf n Turf share plate if you re ordering anything else you re kidding yourself. Best feed on Boundary Street. Can t wait to comeback.
The food was absolutely delicious, the nachos were crisp with fresh guacamole, the chicken wings had crunch with a delish bbq sauce and the tacos (halloumi and beef) were bursting with flavour. All set in a clean, sleek interior playing chilled tunes that added to the vibe with super friendly staff. And the churros are a definite, these are not to be missed!! Can t wait to come back
Food is very good and service is amazing allowing young people to have a opportunity.
Worth visiting! Great setup and food / drinks were excellent. Worth visiting if you love tacos
Good food at a good price and staff were very helpful !
Really great venue, lovely vibe decent size potions of tasty tacos and margs had a great time.
Such a great vibe, the food was amazing and the margs were even better. Would definitely recommend!
Don t get too excited, they are SUPER stingy with their meat. Would ve been lucky to have 5g worth of beef on my nachos. My partner order extra chicken and was lucky to get 1/4 of a chicken breast. We had to go home and cook ourselves chicken to get enough protein in! For the price you pay it s disappointing, we won t be returning.
Excellent food, excellent service, can t ask for much more!
Nice pretty place with great service, but the food was underwhelming. They claim the largest nachos in Australia. 3 of us shared them @ $55 and we were hungry after. Definitely not the largest nachos in Australia and between 3 of us we tasted about 4 tiny pieces of steak each. We left hungry and had to go and eat somewhere else for dinner later on. Not as good as everyone thinks it is...a bit of a fad place.
I accidentally ordered the wrong tacos (I am a vegetarian) and the staff changed them for me no hassle when I would ve been more than happy to pay for my own mistake. Exceptional service , and great food. 5 very happy girls after California Tacos West End
Amazing food and drinks. best daiquiris Ive had in Brisbane and a nice generous size too. we had the nachos and wings and they were fantastic. cant wait to come back. Dietary restrictions: all Gluten free options are celiac safe and everything apart from the burritos is gf, so its a great place to come if you have a gluten allergy.
We had my sons birthday here last night, brilliant atmosphere & service, all the staff were so friendly - food was awesome - thankyou for being outstanding xx
The vibes are nice. The food is not so nice. Unfortunately our pork taco had about a teaspoon of filling in it. If you want to pay the same amount and have incredible food, head to MamaTaco down the road
My plate was so insanely clean. I think it was done by Jai. Also meal was superb I think it was the incredible meal prep. I Jai
Place pumps!!
Out back is the place to be, food was quick drinks were great. Can t wait to come back
Best Mexican restaurant in Brisbane! Cannot fault the service, amazing atmosphere and delicious cocktails... loved the vegan option. We cant wait to come back.
Great vibes, great food and great service !!! Definitely coming back :)
Good drinks, good food.good vibes
Went for a hens party and it was all five stars! Food was fabulous and the service was quick and effortless. Kid-friendliness: Out the back had space for kids to run and play
Had a big group and the food came out fast, drinks were great and food was delicious
Hands down the Best tacos in brissy
Best nachos!
Hand down best tacos in Brisbane.. Great customer service and a great vibe xo Food
Good food and great service. Definitely would recommend for Sunday arvo drinks
Honestly, the hospitality from these blokes is top notch. Walked through some narnia like entrance and found myself smack bang in Tijuana, Mexico. Old mate gave us some of Dave s hot sauce that gave my house mate a panic attack. 20/10. Go check it for yourself xoxo
LOVE THE MUSIC, FOOD, AND DRINKS! BRILLIANT CUSTOMER SERVICE! :))
Restaurant was quiet when I went in so the service was quick. The shared nachos was a monster, my partner and I saw it on instagram and thought we could do it, only got about half way. It was a great meal and Id highly recommend.
Cool joint for cocktails and a snack. Great atmosphere and fri badly service!
Amazing food, great staff and the venue itself is just beautiful! Highly recommended! Best nachos ever! Food
Went expecting great food and atmosphere due to all the reviews. Our food was a 5 at best. We ordered the share nachos ($55); they came out within 10 minutes and looked amazing, however, they were cold and had next to no meat on them. Youd think for the price theyd be able to atleast make it warm and add some protein. Really disappointing. Some positives; the venue was cute and our cocktails were yummy, we also had no issues booking and theres lots to do within the area after dinner
Very nice place with good food and great service Thought the taco was affordable and good. Great for the taste palette after all the Asian food I ate this week.
Had the burrito bowl with fish, absolutely amazing. Perfectly spiced, good portion size and the salsa rice and fish were all made perfectly! 10/10
Drinks were good, food was okay, service was very awkward.
Reminds me of when I was in Tulum last year, good atmosphere. They even do the viral Big Mac taco lol which I tried and it was actually not bad. Pork tacos were ok - meat a little dry. Margaritas on point
Amazing service Amazing food Food
Amazing food and drinks. The service was great especially Tim! Thanks for a great arvo
Tim was an awesome bartender! Super lovely and friendly! Drinks and food were really good!
Food, service and everything was great
Highly recommend! Was great!
The best nachos in town! Every single bite is worth the visit. Staff very friendly and helpful! Will be coming again soon!
Vegetarian options: Cactus is amazing. Food
We had the share surf and turf nachos, there was literally 2 prawns cut in half and hardly any beef. We paid that much for essentially corn chips and sour cream. Pretty disappointing.
I was a bit skeptical of the prices at first but it turned out to be so worth it! I had the cali burrito which had so much filling. Even the pico de gallo and corn chips tasted way above other joints. Sure the atmos isnt amazing cause of the small location but it certainly made up for it with the food quality and speed of service. Would recommend!
Lovely staff and amazing food 100% recommend!!!
Amazing staff, huge nachos, great tacos and great vibe .
Best place to start a Girls Night Out. Nachos Share Plate was so filling, and the cocktails are both gorgeous and delicious! Highly recommend the fish taco and the sangria Bonus points for the coeliac friendly options
Food is great, just impossible to order takeaway with out ordering at the counter. The three times we have tried to order via the phone it just rings out after numerous attempts.
Vegetarian options: had no cauliflower options and wasn t a big fan of the idea of having haloumi in my taco, got the vegetarian empanadas and they were pretty mediocre. Food
Biggest nachos ever. Will surely be coming back
Really cool place to grab a bite and a margarita. Think we went at non peak time so we were the only ones there but can definitely see this place being awesome when filled with customers! Will come again.
Hosted my best friends hen night in their new event space and had the most incredible evening. The team were amazing with set up and let us do whatever was needed to make the space fit what we needed. The food was amazing and the perfect selection, catering to dietary needs as well. Saxon was incredible dealing with us behind the bar all evening and ran an awesome cocktail class for us. Highly recommend hosting an event here!!
Great place. Went there with the whole family for lunch and the food was amazing
Best nachos in Westend hands down, drinks are delicious..be prepared for high-end prices
my kid like the cheese inside. but feel it is a bit too spicy Kid-friendliness: bit spicy, it would be better if the seller could mention it before i pay. Food : 4/5 |
Good nachos. I liked it. Ask them very hot.
Absolutely recommend, lovely menu and the food was excellent. Have a glass of sangria to accompany - its excellent.
