Fajita bowl was tasty and service was terrific. The ambiance is relaxing. Inside n out
Had the AVO power sandwich which was absolutely delicious and our server Kevin couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating . Def worth coming back ... weekly!
I've had Cali a few times and have been impressed. I liked the so buff bowl a lot, I got it with crispy chicken. It's a decent size! My sister had the hot and crunchy bowl with tuna and she enjoyed it as well. Their cookies, both smores and chocolate chip are very fresh, soft, and scrumptious. I'll be coming back to try more menu items!
This review is long overdue. I have never actually been inside Cali so I can't speak to the ambiance or tableside service, but it is one of my go-to meals when getting delivery. Honestly, if I had my way, I'd have this once a week (my husband prefers more variety, but I get it at least once a month). Healthy, fully customizable (and they never ONCE got an order wrong, even if I had substitutions and additions), filling, and affordable!! Dare I say Cali is my favorite restaurant in St. Pete? Perhaps blasphemy as there are so many delicious upscale restaurants here and at Cali I just get a simple fajita bowl (with chargrilled chicken, brown rice and spring mix, hold the cheese, and added charred corn, pico, and jicama slaw--always perfect), but it ALWAYS hits the spot. I'm always happy while eating it, never wishing I got something else. I do sometimes end up with a too full tummy from not being able to stop consuming its generous portions, but it's worth it. Whenever my husband is out of town, this is what I order. Sometimes two days in a row because I can. Heck, even when I'm on a business trip and I arrive late and need to get a meal delivered to the hotel, I wish I could order Cali. Some might call be obsessed. I blame Cali for being amazing. Also, if you're someone who DOESN'T want to order the same thing every time, my husband has gotten the fajita bowl with steak, Thai bowl with tuna, the "so buff" bowl with blackened chicken, the quesadilla with chargrilled chicken, AND the hot honey pizza, and all of these have had rave reviews. You simply can't go wrong.
I enjoyed my meal at Cali! It was pretty good! I got the lean n clean bowl and I only wished it would have came with more meat. It was quite expensive for how much food I received but I was mostly satisfied. I would probably eat here again, though I'd look to see what else is out there first.
Taco Tuesday spot for sure!!! A group of us went here on a Tuesday off recommendation of one of the people and we were all happy with the Choice! This spot has a nice open concept that is very lively for a Tuesday, they have live music and the taco cravers start rolling in around 6pm so be prepared! They do $4 sangrias which were nice and refreshing, they weren't very boozy but they did add cinnamon if your open to it which had a unique flavor to it, I'd try it Atleast once! Tacos all had tons of flavor and really was nice to get the big platter and try a bunch of different choices! We did snag the others just to try and were pleased! My absolute favorite was the spicy Brazilian! By the time we were leaving the live music was going and the place was filling up so the word is certainly out that Cali is a great spot for taco Tuesday!
If you're a fan of healthy bowl places, you'll love Cali. There's a ton of options and different combinations. You pick your bowl, and then which base and protein you want. I got the Big Italy bowl with a spaghetti squash base and blackened chicken, and it went together perfectly. Lots of veggies and flavor, and the ricotta added the perfect savory touch. Our waitress was super kind and attentive and answered all of our questions, and the restaurant is cute and California style. We came at 1130 on a Saturday, so there was absolutely no wait, but it started to pick up and get packed at around 1230. Allergy friendly as well.
The Chillin' with the Crew taco Tuesday special for $60 is a great deal! Easily feeds 4 people. You choose up to 4 different style tacos and get 3 of each for 12 tacos in total. This includes chips, salsa and guac to start -- the salsa and guac were very good...what you'd expect from a top notch Mexican joint. Also came with 4 cookies (choice of chocolate chip or s'mores), which were served warm. All-around WIN to celebrate Taco Tuesday...the only downside is they do not have liquor...only beer and wine. So you'll have to get your margaritas afterwards. Pro tip: Ask for their samal hot sauce (instead of the Frank's hot sauce offered by the server ). Great flavor and the right amount of heat to brighten up your tacos!
