California Tacos West End — Restaurant in Brisbane City

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...

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 I'm 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...

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...
