My wife, son, and his fiancée decided to stop by here as there were limited openings the day before Labor Day. It was almost set up like Chipotles’ without the option to add your own selections during the process. I had the Enchilada Bowl with chicken, salsa, rice, beans, melted jack cheese, and your choice of 75 hot sauce selections. My wife had the bacon, chicken, & cheese bowl. Both were unfortunately heated with lettuce added making the bowls less crisp, and both needed more seasoning (salt, garlic, cumin, something), and the guacamole and salsa were both mushy/tasteless. My son and his fiancée’s quesadillas were also decent but missing flavor. Fortunately the service was good and helpful, but this will likely be a one-time venture.

This place has improved substantially lately. I believe new manager is turning it around.

I’ve come to this location for years and it’s, by far, the best CT in NoVa. My son loves it and the folks there are THE BEST. Scotty always gets my order just perfect and the twins are my favorite when I see them working the counter. All the staff there is friendly, works fast and makes everything good. It does take me 40 minutes to get there but it’s so worth it!

The food is made fresh and always hot.The service is pretty good, sometimes a little language barrier but if you know a little Spanish, it helps.The tables are always clean and has extra places to sit even when busy.4.5.

The service was wonderful the atmosphere was friendly the steak fajita I got the the heat of veggies with freshly cooked steak was very tender chips and queso off the chain.
Ordered 4 tacos two blacken fish and two screaming chicken that was suppose to be spicy, nothing not a tang of spicy, paid $20 and disappointed. Tacos were bland, bland bland. No fajita veggies, I had one leaf of cilantro even the tomato salsa was bland. For the folks leaving reviews saying how good it is are lying or do not know what a taco is suppose to taste like. I'd rather have McDonald's and haven't eaten that in 10 years.

First time going there and will be the last. I told the cook is the food good that I will like it? He said yes. Bought me 3 tacos with chips. Looked in and it’s a fake sad taco. I wouldn’t even believe it’s a taco. The chips were the only one to be good. As a real authentic Hispanic, this is a disgrace. This is below from chipotle. $18 for nothing

I eat at California Tortilla for lunch from time to time. It’s not “made-to-order” like Chipotle, but, here’s the thing…their menu items taste really good, and there is no reason to change that. Order off the menu with confidence. You will get your order fresh. They make it right then. My guacamole ? was inside an avocado moments before it was handmade right in front of me. Who knows how long the guac at Subway or Chipotle has been sitting out? I recommend the California Screamin’ burrito ?. After you try it, you probably will, too!

My vegetarian wife and I love "CalTor"! Great food plus the "wall of hot sauces".Vegetarian options: The No-meat-o bowl was great!

I received a free burrito for my bday and the gentleman working was very friendly, he helped me redeem the burrito with ease. I love the wall of different hot sauces. Store was cleaned up front and their burrito is huge.
