I found this place because of the high ratings and y'all were not kidding - Califa's Greens is amazing! I think that was the best huevos rancheros I've ever had in my life. (I subbed the plaintains for the potatoes and they were plump and sweet and perfectly seared.) I can't post a photo because I ate it too fast. The juice, smoothie, and alfajor we got were also excellent. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the service was friendly too. We will be back soon!

Unbelievably fresh, fragrant, tender, delicious food! I got the salmon and it was so good. The watermelon agua fresca was some of the best I've had. The person who helped me at the counter was gracious and took extra steps to make sure that I was comfortable. Cute decor. Love this place! They take cards but bring cash as it is preferred.

Wow wow wow. I came in on a whim craving something healthy, and I’m SO glad I found Califas. I got the signature bowl with tofu and no cheese, and it was absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh and simple, yet the flavors were addictive (especially the salsa that was drizzled over the veggies and quinoa). Obsessed.

Such a great experience! The food is incredible and the owners/ staff are so kind and accommodating. I got the kale salad adding their salmon that was on special with avocados too, and it was delicious! Very fresh with many vegetables & they offered me some of their homemade salsas to add too! Highly recommend! :)
