On our visit to this restaurant on the door it said something like The best vegetarian food around. Amazing, beside 1 Caribbean Mango Salad there was only 1other non -meat item on menu and when I looked at my bill it says "1 Chicken Burrito Veg Me Bowl" $6.89 not a bad price. When I asked why my order said "Chicken" they told me cause there was no way to ring it up without meat! A chicken burrito was ordered along with a club burrito and we ordered a few standard sides (tortilla) chips salsa etc.. Lot's of tables, our first visit to a California Tortilla place. Nice to get in outta the heat find a cool place to sit and eat. For a first time visit besides the claim to the best veggie food around for 3 of us a bit expensive . Rounded $30.00 it's DC we were starved so take it from there.
I'm going to make the case that this place is better than Chipotle, Moe's, Qdoba, and all the other chains in this niche. My main argument is in the No Meato Burrito, which is delicious, they use fresh red and yellow bell peppers. Every other place I've eaten at only uses green bell peppers, not because they are tastier or healthier, but because they are way cheaper and it's easier to just offer one type of pepper. I like the variety in taste, the freshness, and health benefit this provides that other places don't provide to keep their profits fatter. The guacamole is also really great. Zucchini and squash are also offered which you don't see very often. Healthy, tasty, and affordable- this makes California Tortilla place my favorite
Maybe it's because I'm from California. Maybe it's because I think other restaurants including Taco Bell are better. But, man. I can't figure out what folks are raving about. I had the burrito in a bowl. No tortilla. Carnitas. The pico de gallo was bland. Too much rice. Dry Monterey jack cheese (shredded) and almost tasteless carnitas. Maybe I'm used to crispy pork that's been marinated overnight in rich poblano and tomato sauce and a selection of salsas. I got none of that. I'd suggest spending your money down the street at Chipotle where there's a higher flavor factor.
I ate at this restaurant during a recent trip to Washington D.C after a long hot walk through the Washington D.C Zoo. This restaurant is a total shock. This is the type of restaurant that with a few small changes here and there could give the likes of Moe's Southwest and Chipotle a real test in that market. I ordered the California Screaming Burrito in a bowl both times because it was really good. Although I wish I could have gotten more rice and maybe added some of the other toppings it was really good. As mentioned there is another California Tortilla in the Ronald Reagan building both have the same menu options both are really good. Give it a try.
