Cali Spartan Mexican Kitchen in California

"The items were noting is the birria and the crispy tacos. If you order the torta birria, the bread will soak up more of the consume. Inside and outside (covered with propane heaters) dining. We were a large group ~30. Marcos and his team were able to accommodate. Thought we would slam the kitchen but food came out relatively quick"

"Flavorful, fresh and delicious food. I will say one of the best in Bay Area. Best orange sauce I ever had(you can buy a bottle) which goes well with any cuisine. Highly recommended! Note: they accept cash or Venmo"

"This taco place is awesome! Everything was tasty and the portions were big. The drinks are massive, and the service was great! Just remember to bring cash."

"Best tacos in bay area. The have vegetarian options too, Cali-taco veg option is must try. Their Mango Lover lemonade is bomb."

"Go to spot for tacos in San Jose. Great Al Pastor, lots of taco options. Super Tacos with the soft tortillas are delicious. Big portions on appetizers, so measure mains accordingly. 3 tacos more than enough for most folks, reduce if getting chips or nachos. Chips provided with salsa or guac is seasoned beautifully and addicting. Don’t forget to grab an orange and green salsa from the condiments bar to pair with chips or to drizzle on tacos/nachos. Pickled onions go great on the tacos as well. For drinks, highly recommend the horchatas - mix and match flavors as well if you’re feeling fun. Also have seen insanely large shareable cocktails often popular with the college crowd from SJSU. Space quite lively with indoor and outdoor seating. Expect place to busy most nights and filled with folks in their teens or early 20s."

"Crispy tacos and nachos were delicious, the service was OK. Will definitely go back to try other dishes. Cash only. Plenty of parking."

"Best cali burrito in ages! Cash / venmo only and they do not split checks. The sauces are amazing too!"

"I may be biased but I'm automatically giving them 5-stars for their Taylor Swift playlist. It's nonstop Taylor mix for 10 minutes then switches to a Mexican playlist and back. Finding parking here still gives me nightmares. I went on a weekend and the parking is still horrible. It's next to SJSU so the nimbys here restrict all the parking. Normal people can't come to Cali-spartan. Only students and locals. The parking lot is also a mess. People just park anywhere, double park, and block people in. I really dont understand how the system here works. It's really just a free for all. The crispy tacos though are so amazing. It's all the fatty goodness you want to heal your soul. I want to come back so bad but the parking gives me shivers."
