California Fresh Eats Newark Reviews
Very tasty food, personal super friendly & generous
Very nice and friendly, good food. Nice bathroom.
Great place! So fast and delicious. We had a huge to go order and he was so helpful and labeled everything detailed, thank you!!
Best authentic mexican food I've had; I am from Riverside and have been to so many great locations in California. The food is always so good 👍🏽 Mandatory lunch break.
This place is a great spot for Mexican food. It’s not fancy, but it’s not a hole-in-the-wall either. The staff is very friendly and the food is delicious.
We were a group of 4 and they willingly split checks. The food was delicious. I had the crab cakes. They upcharged me for a salad but then put it on the same plat as the crab cakes...could have been a separate bowl. My partner ordered the large salad with blackened chicken and blue cheese. He said it was delicious and he is not a blue cheese fan.
great service! and great food everything is fresh and the owner has such a great attitude inside is clean and comfy! 10/10 i recommend!
First of all the service was excellent and the food was superb! I strongly suggest ordering the fish taco! My husband had the shrimp quesadillas and he said they were delicious 😋 The atmosphere was upbeat and the place was so clean and friendly! I loved the music and the experience was great and when I am in Newark again I will most definitely 👍🏾 drop in☮️🌸🌺❤️🎉😋😋😋
Really great experience getting food here. I came in with an injured knee and the crew saw my cane and immediately scrambled to try and make my life easier. The time and effort they take to make your food the way you want it is amazing. It's like if Chipotle was authentic and not rushing through a line of people like a high school cafeteria. Will definitely be coming back here again.
Owner is very respectful and always has a smile on his face. The Veggie burrito here is pretty awesome. They stir fry veggies in the burrito which is very cool and adds a unique flavor in Burrito. Pretty reasonable prices and It’s my go to place for Mexican food :)
I Come to Fremont about 5 times a year and always make sure I come here for lunch. Great fresh food with real ingredients, exceptional tacos. Plus a super friendly and energetic team here.
Excellent place for a quick lunch or dinner. The burritos are great and so are the tacos! The place was clean and the food tasted great! One minor inconvenience for me was the fact that the mild salsa was spicy so I can only imagine what the spicy ones are like. Overall great experience, good prices and excellent food!
Honestly this place is great. I love the youngins’ working there, they are always polite. Tonight, the young girl working made me a carne asada burrito and it was awesome! I asked her to grill the burrito a little bit, and she did a great job, exactly how I like it. It’s a win for me, my belly is happy! I’ll definitely be back.
Clean, fast and friendly, staff and service are amazing. Fish tacos? YES!!! Worth the trip from South Fremont to Newark. Treat yourself They also make the most amazing looking vegie burrito I've ever seen, I've got to try that soon..
Best Fish tacos in the east bay. Delicious Cajun prawn burrito can't go wrong if you like spicy. Fresh food made on daily basis. Extremely friendly. Enjoyable environment.
Best burrito bowl in California. Delicious. Fresh guacamole. Fresh salsa. Fast service always with a smile. Love this place. Food is tasty, fresh and amazing ...and the people who work here really care. You can taste the love in every bite.
Best burritos I ever had! My kids love them and always ask for burritos from CalEats. Great customer service as well! I am definitely lucky to have them near my work!
I have been going to Cal eats since they opened a few years ago. The food is always consistent the facility is always clean and the help is always great. Their food is better than Chipotle it's fresh there's no preservatives and it's delicious. I highly recommend this for somebody who wants quick Mexican food that is a good quality and fresh. They also have a punch card so after you get 10 burritos or quesadillas or whatever your meal is you get a free one. There is plenty of parking, it's very convenient, and I love the food. Everyone who I brought their have become fans too.
Had the blackened fish tacos and street tacos, everything was fresh and tasted excellent. Best fish tacos I've had yet, has an entire piece of tilapia. Service was great and place was clean, I'll definitely be back to try more items from the menu.
Really good, a gem in the suburbs. The ingredients were fresh and the flavors popped right out, the whole burrito was a delight. The staff is very nice too. I can only recommend it.
This place is a hidden gem. The service is friendly, and the food is delicious.
Went there for lunch and the owner was super friendly. Willing to customize or suggest different toppings. It's a hidden gem. Great prices for quality fresh food. I got a drink as part of the set meal and it seem like the entire lunch was a steal. Their chips and guac are also really good. One of us got a salad bowl and another a fish bowl. Their pineapple salsa and cabbage slaw are highlights you def want to get!
Tried Cal Eats Fresh Mexican Grill and was pleasantly surprised. The fish tacos were flavorful and fresh, with a nice balance of spice and tang. The chicken quesadilla was hearty and cheesy, with tender meat and a crisp grilled tortilla. Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were generous. Great spot for a quick and satisfying Mexican meal. Thanks
Stumbled upon this place because I had a job site nearby and I’m really glad I tried it. Really recommend the fish taco, the grilled chicken quesadilla was also pretty good. I’m looking forward to trying the other things on their menu. Restaurant was also clean and the service was perfect.
Staff is really friendly, they will customize according to your taste. It helds a title 'Best of Newark 2019'.A little expensive...Not too much.
Stopped for a quick bite. Enjoyed the blackened fish tacos and burritos. Alot of options bowls, burrito, taco, protein options. Good flavor and pineapple salsa. Would definitely try another dish. Staff members were polite and helpful in deciding our meal.
They had amazing service really welcoming and amazing people the food is also amazing and really affordable
“Discovering culinary delight at Caleats in Newark! Ample parking, comfy seating, and their Veggie Bowl turned out to be our unexpected favorite. Fresh flavors that won’t disappoint! 🌱🍲
Super Fresh! I ordered the fish taco and a side of pinto beans! Absolutely delicious!! Super friendly service! Grilled the fish while I waited! Wow! I highly recommend and will stop by again if in the area!

Highly recommended! Had dinner here 3 times during my 2 weeks visit. Very kind young guys, who give the Mexican food their own flavor. I had 4 different streetstyle tacos and a burrito. All were amazing and ready to eat very quick.
I came in hungry and stressed out. The friendly service and wonderful food turned my entire mood around. Very thankful to stop here. Staff is amazing. Food is excellent and a great price.
We stopped in here during a furry convention, about 13 in our party, and about 21 people in the restaurant total. There were only two chefs running the piece at the time, who really went above and beyond for so many people at no notice. Even in the middle of the rush, one of the chefs took the time to give special attention to one of our group with autism, walking them through the ingredients and what to put on their order. Absolutely amazing, professional service that knows how to manage a kitchen, and the food was amazing. Very thankful for their patience and outstanding vibes!
Their blackened fish tacos are amazing, always fresh, fish is seasoned right, crispy veggies on top. These have to be my favorite, to-go tacos whenever I am craving some.
I’ve been here a couple of times for it’s streets tacos. I like the tacos very much, it’s flavorful and at the right spicy level for me. Just learnt that Tuesday night is Tacos night, $10 for 3 tacos, great deal for a casual dinner.
Recommended! This place has remained consistent in quality and service from when they first opened over 10 yrs ago. Staff is friendly and food tastes fresh. I used to come here daily for my lunch break and was happy to stop in when I was in the area again. Bathroom is tidy too.
First, let me share. We were just in the area doing a little bit of shopping when we smelled the food from the restaurant from about a block down. So we went into the restaurant was greeted warmly ordered the fish tacos, beans and rice on the side chips and salsa. Every single thing was fresh salsa fresh tomatoes everything was delicious. Our fish tacos came we bid into them. Presentation was beautiful and the taste was so fresh and amazing. I Didn’t expect the wonderful taste that hit all my taste buds. It was really amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best Fish taco I’ve ever had salsa was on point The beans and rice taste just like homemade.

Decent place if you are looking for a Chipotle alternative. Ingredients here are pretty fresh and fairly tasty. They don't charge you extra for a glob of guac neither, which is definitely a plus in my books. The only complaint I have is a few times I've been here the workers here didn't change gloves / wash their hands between handling money / cash register and making your burrito. Guess what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?
Good food, nice ambience, a bit expensive for the quantity. We ordered specialty bowls with Chicken, Shrimp in Chipotle sauce and Cajun Shrimp along with tacos. All were tasty. The meat were cooked fresh made to order. They offer both inside and outside seating.
I had the chicken fajita bowl and it was good. Blackened fish taco was very tasty.

The nachitos I got were pretty good, but an jalapeno seed must have fallen into one of the ingredients because out of nowhere my mouth caught on fire. It wasn't enough to stop me from eating, obviously. I was on the lookout for more peppers. The restaurant is nice with plenty of seating considering the small area. A guys behind the counter were super friendly and very helpful.
Nice little place. It's only that it's hard to find a smaller place that also makes chili relleno's, other than a sit down restaurant. (Which do offer take out.). And the rest of the menu is also very limited. But food was good and and the employees were very nice. I would recommend them.🙂.
I got the carnitas burrito which had no flavor. I would put it on par with Raley's taco bar. Not bad, but not authentic. Also, I paid extra for guac but there was a chunk of avocado and I could pairly bite into it because it hadn't ripened fully. Definitely bummed with my experience. My boyfriend got the fajita burrito bowl and it was really good, 4 star quality. Good flavor. So I would say this place is inconsistent, definitely not more than 3 stars.
I'd give it a 3.5 if I could. Salsas are pretty bad and that's a big disappointment for me. Lots of affordable food though, and nice variety. They have black beans and brown rice. Very cheap kids burritos. Good shrimp meal, decent quesadilla.
They recommended fish tacos when we walked in then recanted and said, "we're out of those". Ordered a burrito bowl instead and couldn't believe how small the $6.50 bowl was. It's insulting that they think it's ok to charge that much for so little. Girlfriend ordered two chicken street tacos for $3.50 and got more food including chicken. I hate sounding trivial but they were completely comfortable ringing the register and under- delivering. There are better choices but we thought we'd try this overrated establishment. Your mileage may vary.
The food is good a little expensive I ordered a steak salad I feel like the steak is a bit chewy...not tender at all to much liquid..

Honestly don't know what to say. I ordered a veggie burrito with sautéed vegetables. I was expecting fajita vegetables (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, etc). I took a bite of the burrito and it was broccoli, zucchini, and carrots... on a burrito?!? The service was good, but the food was disturbing.

Worst burrito I’ve ever eaten in y life! The place was empty and no excuse why it was so terrible! Where do I begin… it the burrito was about the size of my pinky finger, the tortilla cold hard and was not not even warm! In fact the Cheese was not even melted!the rice was firm and undercooked over! I was starving as was completely let down and in need of some real food somewhere else! I will Never eat there again the rest of my life! I give it a 0 of 10 and give it a 1 *. Google won’t let me give a zero
We were looking to cater food for a party, but changed our plans because we found the chicken undercooked. Even so, the owner inexplicably decided to increase the price by almost 30%. We looked for a different place with better food, and importantly, better ethics.
It says online that it is open. I came at 3:15 waited here almost over 20 minutes and no one has showed up and the restaurant is closed at least three or four people left so they’re losing business and we checked online to make sure that they were open and it says that they’re open their sign and everything is out as you can see and nobody’s here really wanted a burrito really bad so this is really messed up.
