Welcome to California Native

In 1964 a young Californian family decided to cross the Pacific and make a new home at the Gold Coast. Starting with a

small restaurant in Surfers Paradise and a Mexican food truck that traversed beaches and surfing contests in the early

1970’s the Californians would become pioneers in helping introduce Mexican and Cali-Mex cuisine to Australia. Continuing

in this tradition, California Native combines over 50 years of family experience and food knowledge passed down across

three generations to offer a unique and personal Californian dining experience.

The California Food Constitution

At Cali Native our meals are prepared using only fresh, quality, authentic ingredients. Cape Grimm grass fed beef, free

range poultry, eggs and pork, locally sourced seafood, the freshest market produce, locally made corn tortillas and locally

baked breads bought daily. We use authentic dried chillies and spices imported from Mexico. Our salsas are hand-cut and

our tortilla chips are cooked in house. We travel the extra mile for freshness, quality and authenticity so we can take great

pride in the constitution of our food. Please enjoy!

Group Bookings & Functions

Nestled in a peaceful spot in the hills of Brisbane’s inner suburb of Coorparoo, California Native is a warm, atmospheric

venue ideal for groups and special events. We provide a high standard of service with a friendly, casual feel and we
