Love visitoibg the store every Tuesday but they have hiked up the price of theor buy 1 get 1 promo to $7 from the original $5.  Time for me to move to other fast food.

### 3/5 — Pretty awful app, but awesome food

*2024-04-13, version 23.20.2023092701*

The app is useable but confusing. 

For example, some items picture two tacos other just one — as of today, tacos are sold individually (~$5/each). You select back after adding an item to your cart and be whisked to the “choose which location” screen. No worries though, your cart is safe under the location.

The upside is that this app includes a loyalty program where you earn points ($$$ off future purchases). So suffering through the interface and complexity has its rewards.

### 2/5 — Coupons never work

*2023-07-09, version 22.14.2022090101*

Coupons never work

### 2/5 — Keeps Crashing

*2023-04-23, version 22.14.2022090101*

The app worked fine until just recently. Now it won’t launch at all - keeps crashing. Before this I had no issues with the app and it was easy to use. I’ve uninstalled it, restarted my phone, but still can’t use it.

### 2/5 — Problem with App

*2023-04-05, version 22.14.2022090101*

I have downloaded this app twice and every time I try to open it, it won’t open! What is wrong with this app????

### 1/5 — Delievery

*2022-08-30, version 21.57.2021101904*

The app offered delivery for a $5 fee, but never assigned a driver to pick up the food. When I called the restaurant I was told the food was still sitting there, and they would not refund me. Do not use this app, as it promises services not fulfilled.

### 1/5 — Nonfunctional

*2022-05-02, version 21.57.2021101904*

Tried three times to sign up for the burrito card. App home page is totally dead. Can’t sign up. Even Login link does nothing. Deleted and reloaded 3X. Does this not work with IOS 15.4.1? Useless app and I’ve missed out on so many points I could have logged. I guess just I’ll stop eating there until they fix it.

### 2/5 — Another disappointment for a mobile Order

*2022-01-22, version 21.57.2021101904*

I have had ordered twice since October through the mobile order. Both times, I did NOT select “no silverware” as I would be eating in my car. Both times I ordered the Screaming California Burrito as a bowl. Today, the second time, I ordered it and received no fajita vegetables. So I was lucky enough to have rice, chicken and cheese. SMH. When you order online or through the app, you have an inherent trust that the employee(s) would complete the order as specified, let alone the basic ingredients in a dish to be included.  I don’t order take out a lot but when I do, I expect it to be correct. Not just from California Tortilla, but from every restaurant. I received the order through curbside and the bag was stapled shut. As a side note, I still had to call for the employee to come out to the car, which is a nuisance rather than going through the app like most pick up orders are done these days.

### 1/5 — Food poisoning

*2022-01-07, version 20.24.2020040801*

I ordered a burrito bowl and noticed the pork had a weird taste and a slight pink color, i disposed after a few bites. It was the only thing I had eaten as i am a healthcare worker in a busy setting. I woke up at 4 am vomiting with diarrhea, i just got over covid 2 days ago and i cannot afford to miss work. Just thought you should be aware this is what your facility is serving!!! So disappointed 😞

### 4/5 — User interface a little tricky

*2022-01-02, version 20.24.2020040801*

user interface on this app is a little bit tricky and not intuitive overall. But in the end I get the food I love so I can’t complain too much, overall very good.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work.

*2021-12-06, version 20.24.2020040801*

I put stuff in my basket, add my credit card and when I click on place order it says, “Data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the right format.” No matter what I do it says this.

### 2/5 — Not customizable

*2021-10-19, version 20.24.2020040801*

With this app, you can’t indicate if you want light sour cream or any modifications (with the exception of extra/no). When I added some notes, they didn’t even read them - pointless.

### 1/5 — Glitchy and errors

*2026-08-20, version 25.12.2025082801*

Errors out when trying to retrieve account info. Glitchy

### 1/5 — Good food, horrific app

*2026-06-20, version 25.12.2025082801*

We are in 2026. There is AI (yuck), tap to pay, and other technological advances that make shopping and buying food so much easier. And yet this app feels like it is stuck in 2010 when “apps”were still short for appetizers. Why is my food not in a cart ready to purchase? Why, if I leave the app for any reason either accidental or not, am I forced to have to RESTART MY WHOLE ORDER? Why are there only 3 hot sauces when there’s an entire “Wall of Flame” at your restaurants? Why hasn’t there been a decent update in like, ever? Get with it already.

### 1/5 — Force you to sign up for texts!!!!

*2026-04-02, version 25.12.2025082801*

I cannot sign up for their app unless I click the two buttons that give them permission to email and text me.  BOTH!!!!  This is CRIMINAL.

### 1/5 — Why did I bother trying?

*2025-12-28, version 25.12.2025082801*

This app is very poorly designed. Still refuses to accept my existing card number and requires you opt in to both email and SMS spam or otherwise the next button is grayed out. Not worth it. Instant delete.

### 1/5 — Love the store, this version has a huge bug

*2025-02-16, version 24.12.2024090901*

ASAP checkout is broken. It always says the store doesn’t have enough time to prepare my order. Since the increments are 15 min, then I can’t put an order in because it says the store will be closed even though it doesn’t close for another 40 min. Developers please fix asap

### 1/5 — App is awful

*2025-01-12, version 24.12.2024090901*

Can’t sign up for app, when trying to use phone number it says already in use, but then when I try to login it says not available and reset password not allowed. App literally prevented me from giving them business.

### 1/5 — Cannot open on iPhone since early 2023

*2023-07-06, version 22.14.2022090101*

Since early 2023, this app could not be opened on iPhone.

### 1/5 — App won’t open

*2023-07-02, version 22.14.2022090101*

Crashes on open. Used to work just fine.

### 1/5 — App stopped working

*2023-06-25, version 22.14.2022090101*

App worked flawlessly until a few months ago. Now app image appears on the screen for an instant, then disappears. It never opens.

### 1/5 — Error prone

*2022-11-09, version 22.14.2022090101*

Keeps giving me errors when I try to order.

### 5/5 — Consistently awesome!!!

*2020-09-15, version 20.24.2020040801*

From ease of order, point system and our local shop, they make it real hard not to order on a nightly basis!!!
