Experience: California Tortilla is one of the newest additions to Leesburg. It's a fast-food, Mexican-type chain restaurant. I'd rank them somewhere between Taco Bell and Moe's. For being a fast-food chain, California Tortilla is pretty good.
The specialty burritos are the most distinctive items on the menu, and that's we we go there. On this visit, I had the Thai burrito ("Grilled mesquite chicken, Mexican rice, our spicy Thai peanut sauce, fresh salsa and lettuce"), Wendy had the Blackened Chicken Caesar burrito ("Our Best Seller! Blackened chicken, black beans, Mexican rice, Monterey jack cheese, Caesar dressing, fresh salsa and romaine"), and Alicia had the Classic Chicken burrito ("Choice of chicken, beef or steak (50 cents extra), Mexican rice, black beans, Monterey jack cheese, sour cream, fresh salsa and lettuce"). We all got the combo that includes chips & queso and a drink.
There are a few things that make California Tortilla more fun than your average restaurant. One is that they have the "Burrito Elito Loyalty Program". You accrue one point for each dollar spent, and when you reach 50 points, you get five "Burrito Bucks" to use on your next visit. Another fun aspect is the "Wall of Flame" - they stock over 75 different hot sauces that you can use in the restaurant, or buy a bottle to take home. One final thing is that they play classic rock music, not the sterotypical Mexican tunes.
When the urge for Mexican fast-food hits, California Tortilla is usually our first choice. It's close, cheap, and good.
