Cali Spartan Kitchen has fire tacos, especially if you’re looking for a late-night snack. The food may not be the most authentic Mexican cuisine, but the tacos are flavorful and satisfying, particularly the crunchy tacos, which are served on a tostada instead of a traditional corn or flour tortilla. The spot is popular with college students, so waits can happen, especially during busy hours. Keep in mind that they’re cash-only, although there is an ATM available. After...read full review
Calling this the best Mexican food place in all of California would honestly not be an overstatement! I crave their Cali Crispy Tacos and quesadillas at least once a month and it’s definitely my go-to spot. 🌮
The place is always packed, but the servers are consistently helpful and polite. The food is amazing, the drinks are fantastic, and the overall experience never disappoints. Definitely a must-try!

Cali Spartan Mexican Kitchen offers many delicious dishes such as Big Crunchy Tacos, Cali Tacos, and Chips. Customers often recommend the crispy tacos and cabeza for the meat, and the half / half mix drink of horchata and strawberry. The atmosphere is amazing, and the workers are friendly, although the service can be slow when it gets busy. The super soft tacos are very soft and worth the messy eating experience, while the nachos stay crispy under all the toppings. The food is fresh and delicious, with traditional options like chile verde and enchiladas, along with modern choices like quesabirrias and Cali tacos, which are very tasty. The orange salsa is highly praised and considered one of the best, while some sauces are noted to be a bit salty. Although this cash-only spot has an ATM inside, it remains busy and popular for those craving genuine Mexican cuisine, despite occasional staff miscommunications. The nearby food truck, open until 3 am, makes it a great late-night snack spot. Overall, it is a solid place for tacos, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure a good experience.
