California Burritos — Restaurant in High Point

The High Point offshoot of a Burlington eatery, California Burritos calls to mind the apex version of a national chain. Like a Chipotle or a Moe’s, it offers convenient ordering and lots of customizability. However, its ingredient quality and Californian branding help set it apart.

Though its concept is straightforward, California Burritos offers more than its namesake. You can get a burrito with your choice of meat and fillings, but you can also get bowls, tacos, quesadillas, and even carne asada fries. The offerings extend beyond the expected beef/steak/chicken/carnitas to include birria, shrimp, and even crispy fish tacos.

My wife and I opted for a carnitas quesadilla and a steak burrito for pickup. I was greeted upon arrival, and my order was ready to go. Though I didn’t linger long, I can say that the restaurant seemed bright and clean. The sound of sizzling meat made me feel like I’d made a good decision.

Indeed, the food did not disappoint. Both items were generously sized and well put together. I got a good two-thirds of the way through the burrito before it neared collapse. The ingredients tasted fresh.

At $11 and $12 (before factoring in a guac upcharge), California Burritos runs a bit higher than its competition, but it’s a worthwhile tradeoff for the portion and quality of the food. It probably won’t supplant your favorite Mexican spot, but as fast casual options go, you really couldn’t...

Anyway, I call to let them know and hopefully replace the order and the lady asks my name, then immediately says "actually can I get back to you?" I said okay, and she hangs up on me. I go to call back and it's going to a voicemail that hasn't been setup. It's like my number has been blocked or something. Terrible customer service. Disappointing lunch experience. Won't...

I have ordered several times from this restaurant through Uber eats and DoorDash. My first few orders were perfect. The last couple of times I've ordered they have left out the queso that I paid extra for on my burrito bowls. The lack of queso makes a huge difference because it makes the burrito bowl dry and not much flavor. I literally had to throw the last one away and if I don't find something to add to this one I might have to throw this one away too. I don't know who's working behind the counter and not reading the whole orders but they need to fix it. Who wants a dry flavorless burrito bowl? Then they give you tacos with no cheese on them. This makes no sense. There are never any utensils in my orders either. This will be...
