California Burritos — Restaurant in Nashua

Absolutely love this place. Moved out of state to Vermont. Used to work in Nashua, this was one of my favorite spots to get food in the area. MUCH better than chipotle. Same sort of set up (food bar that you walk down and ask for toppings) Most of the staff speaks very little English but I don't mean anything negative by that. They do appreciate it if you can attempt to order in Spanish, which is great practice! They're very accommodating and will understand what you want if you order in English, food taste great. Literally go out of my way to stop here for lunch/early dinner with my fiance when we drive back to the area to visit my family. Prices are similar to chipotle (about the same price for what I would get there) however again, much better food quality. Usually a little cramped (because honestly the food is amazing) if you go there during lunch or dinner there will probably be a line out the door. Totally worth the wait though. They usually get through the line...

California Burritos is an unassuming gem in the historic section of Nashua. My go-to are the crispy Carnitas Tacos made traditional style with cilantro and onions with the spicy salsa and a dollop of guacamole. I literally can eat 5 of these and still have room for a Papusa, Pupusas are thick corn tortillas that can be stuffed with various fillings, including various meats (for mine I had chicharron), refried beans, cheese. (Coution these come super hot, so start with the tacos). I washed it down with a delicious horchata, but they also serve a great margarita too! I absolutely dig this place. It had been 2 years since my last visit (mostly because of the pandemic), but they remembered me like it I had been there last week. They also offer amazing burritos and fries with steak or Carnitas or chicken on top. I'm getting hungry writing this review. definitely visit California Burritos for the great...

To preface, I am a Chipotle fanboy, but I definitely think California Burrito is different in a good way. The ingredients are fresher and the meat (I got Carnitas) is better cooked. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because for as good as it is, the burrito I got from here was smaller than the burritos I’ve gotten from pretty much every other restaurant I’ve ever gone too. I feel like I was eating a lot of tortilla and not enough ingredients. I would still recommend it, but if you’re used to large burritos, one of these might leave you wanting more.

The place had some parking in the back but probably not enough for busy hours of the day. I went at 7:30 PM on a Wednesday night and there was only a couple free spots. I was happy to see only a couple other people in front of me in line as I was starving. The guy who served me was super friendly and didn’t...
