California Native

The owner and staff are all very welcoming and they clearly care about what they do. Thanks for a nice night.

A great place but can be extremely and exceptionally noisy if there is a large group inside.

There was a birthday celebration on the same night .. so it was pretty load if you were trying to have a conversation. My chicken enchilada was dry. The GF brownie was very hard with the ice-cream already half melted. Was an average experience.

Great food, nicely presented, interesting decor, nice indoor and outdoor seating

An oasis in suburbia! Food and service always impeccable. The Margheritas and stuffed jalapeños are a showstopper!

We love Cali native and their fantastic team. The food is ALWAYS delicious and prompt, their service is excellent. It’s our number one restaurant.

Overall fantastic. Only critique would be the outside table nearest the inside entrance ccasionally had a bad smell and it did take a while for our table to be served as well as served table water. We did have a large group though. The waitresses were amazing and food brilliant. Our group said "what a great place" and we will definitely return.

Outstanding service and fantastic food. We will definitely be back.

Lovely to try your rest nicely decorated yummy cocktails & food.we will return with extended family.
wait ataff need to serve water at start meal.
Close kitchen door that opens onto rear carpark.

The food was fantastic. However, the service was very poor. Our drinks didn’t arrive until the main meal even though we asked 3 times for a drink - even water! After the 3rd time, I actually got up and almost begged the waitress for water because our meals were spicy. Even then, we had to wait another 10 mins. The food took ages to come out as well. So no food or water/drinks for at least 20-25mins in. Most of the wait staff on the night seemed very young and shy, so maybe this had something to do with it? It’s a shame because the food is actually really tasty and lovely!

The owner chatted to us at the start of the night on arrival, which set the night up really well - she’s lovely and good at what she does. Then as soon as our conversation ended, it kind of went down hill from there.

Oh well. Just something to improve on. At least the food is great!

The food was excellent. Two of us had fish and two burgers. We had starters as well. We had BYO wine which made the cost reasonable. the service was great and not intrusive.

By a long margin, this is my favorite dining experience in Brisbane. The food is definitely 10/10 for taste, presentation and portion size. Staff are attentive, and they take time to get to know customers personally.

Always a great place for dinner... the food is always delicious!! Thanks Anna!!

Fabulous food, wonderful service and a menu that catered for all the family!!

great food! Highly recommend the jalapeño poppers to start. The margarita cocktails were lovely but the sangria was so delicious it was the favourite drink at our table.

Feels like they are finding their feet a bit. The food is good but you pay for it. Could do with a couple more menu items. The previous location and set up was better but once they settle in I’m sure the new venue will be the same. The new venue has a great outdoor space. And feels like a family run business

Great food, staff and atmosphere. Always love coming back!!

Great food, great service, generous portions and great background music. Will definitely cole again with friends and family. Thankyou!

Enjoyed the food, service and totally friendly atmosphere. I'd gladly recommend this spot .

We celebrated a birthday on Sat night. Anna was super accommodating. Organised a cake and took entre pre orders. The service was amazing. Everyone loved their meal.

Fresh and delicious food. Interesting selections with a broad menu. Tacos are so tasty!

We had our Fathers Day lunch here and it was great. A free Budwieser for me was much appreciated as was the expanded menu for the day, which included the yummy Clam Chowder which was the 1st full meal I have seen my 86 year old Father-in-Law finish in a loooooong time. Service was reaaly good and the food portions BIG!! Will definitely be back. Thanks for making Fathers Day great!!

Inside is as noisy as hell get rid of the recorded music and do SOMETHING about the level of noise inside.

Fantastic. Great staff and owner was very friendly.

Lovely outdoor dining. Awesome food. A great experience all round.

The food was very nice, but a bit pricy for what it is.

A hidden gem. The food is authentic and super yum - we think the jalapeño poppers are the best in Brisbane! We love the casual, friendly atmosphere too.

Awesome food and friendly staff. Very long wait for both drinks and food, but it tasted amazing

Fabulous Mexican cuisine, really enjoyed it. Probable the best Mexican I've had in Australia.

Great food and cocktails, staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. It's always a great experience!

always amazing when I come here!!! best NACHOS EVER! I wish the nachos was on everyday though!

Really enjoyed my experience here and can't wait to go back.

Had a ten person booking for my family and as per my previous experiences at California Native it was wonderful. The service was attentive and friendly, the ambience fun and lively, and the food absolutely delish. The restaurant catered well for the whole family (from kids aged 3 to 12), as well as parents and grandparents. The fajitas and the octopus tacos are standouts. I cant wait to go back.

Great food served in a fun environment, this place certainly makes you want to return. We loved the char grilled octopus tacos - what a treat! And I love the treatment they give the humble corn on the cob to turn it into something so special.
Good cocktails - great sangria. Lively vibe. We did wait a long time for the first round of cocktails and food, then it all came quite quickly.
Special mention to the owner - she is an absolute delight!

This was my first visit and I was impressed. Friendly staff, good service and they were very accommodating regarding the cake we bought. The birthday cake was brought out for us to sing happy birthday and for the candles to be blown out and then it was sliced and service on a plate with some cream on the side.

The staff were really feiendly and attentive and the jalepeno poppers amazing. It wasn't a busy night and when we asked to move outside the staff were very accomadting and made sure they set a heater up near us as it was cool. The food was delicious and fresh.

Am a repeat customer. Owner is lovely, genuine and very passionate about good service and their brilliant menu.

Good size meals ...the specials were interesting and tasty ...the courtyard in the midday sun was lovely.

Great spot to have a bite to eat for Mothers Day, food terrific , service pretty good for a busy day.
Drinks maybe a bit too expensive but otherwise a really good day !

Lovely place, great food and good service! Would recommend :)
