Taqueria California in Windsor offers a solid spot for anyone craving straightforward, authentic Mexican food with a California twist. Located in a shopping center near Walmart, it’s easy to pop in for a quick lunch or a relaxed casual dinner. The atmosphere leans toward comfortable and unpretentious — the space is clean and well-maintained, with a cool interior and some TVs showing sports, which adds a low-key, local diner vibe.

The menu is broad enough to satisfy diverse cravings without overwhelming. Breakfast items like Chilaquiles with Roja or Verde salsa come with the expected accompaniments—beans, eggs, cheese, and sour cream—making it a solid choice for an early meal. For lunch or dinner, the Super Burrito, California Carne Asada Burrito, and Chille Verde Taco stand out as reliable classics. The Michelada is frequently enjoyed as a refreshing accompaniment, especially if you’re settling in for a casual meal. Portions run on the generous side, so leftovers are common for those stopping by after a busy day.

Staff interaction appears to be a defining feature here — visitors consistently note the genuinely welcoming team that helps make the experience feel familiar, especially for those who might be missing the kind of Mexican food found down in Southern California. The owner’s effort to create a sense of home adds warmth beyond the food itself.

This restaurant suits locals looking for an authentic Mexican meal without the fuss, families grabbing a casual bite, or shoppers seeking a convenient stop before or after errands. Visiting during typical meal hours is best, as the place hums with steady business, though it remains relaxed enough to linger for a while if you’re watching a game or catching up with friends.

The straightforward decor and friendly service underscore its role as a neighborhood spot rather than a destination for special occasions, making it a dependable go-to for everyday Mexican comfort food.

I'm from So Cal and have had a hard time finding a legitimate Mexican food spot. Hands down this is the most authentic and delicious place in area. Annie the owner and her staff go above and beyond for the customers and that's why I drive the extra 7 miles to get the best Mexican food around. Thank you Annie and staff for making me feel at home!

I've eaten here multiple times, dining in and take out, and only have amazing things to say about this Mexican Restaurant. The outside is unassuming, although as soon as you walk in you are met with friendly faces and the staff are all so nice and welcoming. It's a casual place to relax and enjoy an amazing meal. The menu is extensive, which I love. I also personally love that there are lots of pictures so you can visualize what you are getting. The service was quick both when I've gotten things to go and when I've dined in the restaurant. My go-to is the vegetarian burrito. It is so flavorful and delicious! It's large in portion and it's enough for me to have leftovers for lunch the next day. I'm looking forward to branching out and trying some of their other menu items because there is so much on the list that looks delicious that I want to try!

Absolutely phenomenal. The al pastor tacos leave me awe-striken with every bite; succulent, tender meat seasoned perfectly with a subtle sweetness and hint of spices. The rice & beans are soft and delicious, a perfect side to these tasty tacos. Outstanding! The restaurant is very clean, with a cool temperature and a pleasing atmosphere. I am just passing through, but I will make the drive to this town just for this food in the future -- it's worth it.

It was our first time there. We wanted a quick dinner before shopping at Walmart that is in the same shopping center. The place had nice tables and chairs with easy viewing of the soccer game on tv. The food was great with large portions. We took half home with us. We will be coming back again.
