Decent place! But the chairs could pass as the kind of hostile architecture that prevents homeless people from sleeping under bridges. Very uncomfortable, almost... deliberate? At any rate, 1-inch of padding would have translated into a few more margheritas, a desert, and a much more comfortable dining experience.

My husband and I absolutely love California Native. We both cook a lot, eat super healthy and we're active people, but we go to CN at least once a fortnight because it's that good. The staff are great humans, always friendly, and get to know you and your order. We're obsessed with the tacos. If you are looking for a great local or excellent Mexican (even a home away from home) than California Native is the place to go.

Food was amazing but I ordered a classic margarita and when it came out it was the glass rim was only partly salted and it was barely half full. When I commented I was told that was how it comes. For $20.00 that was a but rich especially when the table next to us got their Maranda their glasses were full. Felt a little ripped off
California NativeResponded on April 28, 2025
Hi Robyn, thanks for your review. All of our Margaritas are measured to 100ml including 45ml of Tequila Reposado which fills about half of a margarita glass when strained. This combined with the triple sec makes this drink nearly 2 standard drinks which is all we are legally aloud to serve. If we serve it with rocks/ice it will fill the glass, likely you saw a virgin margarita which we serve on rocks by default. We can serve classics and spicy's on rocks if you request. We hope to see you again. Many thanks.

Great food - we will be back! Obviously this place has been here for a while - have driven past it many times. Nothing too fancy here with the styling but clearly comfortable in its own skin. We got there early as we were heading to a game but by the time we left it was starting to get quite busy. Drinks on the exxy side but made up for with the food which was great value and better presented and more tasty than your average mexican.
