“I’ve been here twice for brunch and it’s so good! Totally recommended!“

“Brought a group of 12 in last night. The service was excellent!! We all loved our food. Our waitress was perfect. We hardly had to ask for anything. She even split up our checks. We'll be back!! Highly recommend!“

“Tacos de camarones y ceviche! Muy sabrosos :)“

“Had a great meal and super hospitable environment. Jorge and Dorothy were very cool and really lovely people. Can’t recommend this place enough. You’re letting yourself down if you don’t get here.“

“I’ve eaten at a lot of restaurants. I love Mexican food. I’ve even inspected restaurants for 30 years. My cousin ordered the Carnitas for a birthday party. It was the best I’ve ever had. Hands-down.“

“The Cliff Diver Restaurant and Bar is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, and the owner clearly takes pride in offering an amazing drink selection every cocktail we tried was top-notch. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. A special shoutout to our server, Josh, who went above and beyond with his service — super knowledgeable, personable, and made great recommendations. Definitely one of the best dining experiences around. Can’t wait to come back.“

“My friend found this place on Yelp and wanted to give it a try, so we decided to stop by. It’s an Oaxacan restaurant known for their mole negro, which is one of their specialties.

I ordered the enchiladas de mole negro. I’m Peruvian, and the flavor wasn’t quite my personal preference, but I took the leftovers home and my husband who is Mexican and a big fan of mole absolutely loved it. So if you enjoy traditional mole, you’ll probably appreciate it.
My friend ordered the mole negro with rice and completely devoured her plate. She said she really enjoyed the flavor.
I also ordered the Oaxacan horchata, and that was a highlight for me. I loved it so much very refreshing and delicious.

The customer service was alright, a bit slow, but understandable since there was only one girl working the register and serving tables at the same time.

The restaurant itself is cozy, and the bathroom was clean, which I always appreciate.
Overall, it was a nice experience trying a traditional Oaxacan spot.“

“Stopped by Yolanda’s in Simi Valley for happy hour and it did not disappoint. 🍻 Great happy hour menu, nice cold beer, solid margaritas, and plenty of sports on the TVs. The place is clean, the crowd was good, and the waiters were friendly and attentive the whole time.

I had the corn burritos (almost went with taquitos!) and they were actually really good — flavorful and hit the spot.

Definitely a place I’ll come back to.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This place rocks.
Local Love Approved.“

“Paris may have its sidewalk cafes, but Camarillo has this gem! Great eats at fair prices. I love their outside sidewalk tables overlooking El Camino Real, US 101. Dining while counting fire trucks and imagining commuters/travelers on their way to wonderful exotic destinations is another reason why I keep returning.“

“I come here 3+ times a week and it never disappoints. The food is consistently amazing—fresh, flavorful, and authentic every single visit. The staff always makes me feel welcome and they remember my usual order, which says a lot about how much they care about their customers. The service is fast, the portions are generous, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. This place has become my go-to spot and I honestly can’t recommend it enough. If you’re looking for great Mexican food, this is the place!“

“Food is great and super fast and friendly service 10 out of 10 👍🏼👍🏼“

“This place is one of a kind. From the atmosphere to the customer service. Walking in you see the amazing mural they have on the back wall but you also get an instant aroma of the delicious food they have brewing. Jesse’s friendly face at the counter invites you in and his knowledge of the food leaves you conflicted on what to order. I had a classic, their menudo. It came with handmade tortillas and their taco bar has the most flavorful red salsa I’ve ever had. Perfect combination for the menudo. I also had an agua fresca. Their cucumber mint was refreshing. My girlfriend had their pozole. Although I didn’t taste it I couldn’t help but steal one of her tostadas, slap on some of that red salsa and some cheese and sour cream. To finish it off we had a plátano frito with lechera. Honestly, everything was to die for. Will definitely be back for more. We were left with a craving for their specialty, their huarache.“

“I went to Sharkys with my 13wk old puppy to start practicing sitting nicely at a restaurant. I carried him in to pick up, and asked if there is an option to have the food brought outside (I dont want to be that rule breaker, bringing in pets that are not service dogs) The server was really sweet and explained, I just have to order to eat in, and they will find me outside. PS - he did great!“

“Hands down the best Mexican food in the area! I love the smoke chicken burrito, it's my favorite. The guacamole is perfection. We love to dine in and enjoy their wide selections of delicious one of a kind salsas, at the salsa bar. It has a family welcomed vibe and cool decorations inside with multiple big screen tv's to enjoy as well. Another local favorite!“

“comida deliciosa, excelente servicio“

“A great place for lunch! nice!!!! 5 stars!!!!!!“

“Okay let me just say one thing first, FIRE 🔥!!!! If you’re looking for the real deal authentic Mexican food that hits the spot every time without caring how much you spend because it’s so dang delicious, then this is the place you need to visit next! Their Micheladas are the best in town! Don’t believe me? Try it for yourself. Oh, their carnitas tacos, tortilla chips and salsa, chilaquiles, flautas de pollo, menudo, I mean the list goes on. Just trust me and give it a shot! 🙌🏼

Aside from the food, the staff & owners are amazing! They make you feel at home and like family!

Pic of food is when I ordered to go. Pic of beer was when I stopped by to dine in of course.“

“Delicious food and great service!! Has been in Camarillo forever and has an amazing origin story and history!! LOVE!!!“

“Joe & his staff were amazing! Very kind, welcoming, and attentive. Amazing service and amazing food. The food was delicious. The rice was one of the best rice I ever had. Very authentic Mexican food. Definitely will be going back for more. Best Mexican food in TO and very good customer service!“

“The food was delicious and heartwarming, just like a home-cooked meal. The atmosphere was simple, clean, and unpretentious, which added to its charm. It's a true family-run business, and you can feel the joy and humility in their service. We truly felt welcomed and appreciated. We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu!“

“Absolutely fantastic! 🌮 The food was authentic and full of flavor, the service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere made me feel like I was in Mexico. Every dish was fresh and perfectly seasoned — especially the tacos! Definitely a 5-star experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Bit of an attitude All in all. Not always but enough so that it seems too much like Westlake to be good Mexican.

Drinks are generous.

Happy hour is reasonable. Taco Tuesday is fun and a pretty good deal.

Regular food is kinda expensive Westale and a bit small in portions.“

“love the food and margaritas are the bomb“

“I love Baja Fresh especially the Baja Burritos the Fajitas are great as well as their tacos. Ingredients are always fresh. They always provide extra chips when asked. I really enjoy all the different salsa in the salsa bar. The negatives are they no longer give the grilled green onion with the entrees and the banana peppers are no longer provided in the salsa bar.“

“Amazing food! Friendly staff, very clean!“

“If you’re an Mexican food lover, this is the place to be ! The whole team made me feel home and the dishes are delicious.“

“Always a good California burrito and tacos. My family orders to go all the time. Best option close by in Somis! The owner Alex is very nice! Thank you for bringing your truck to Somis ?

Parking: Park at an angle along the nursery and we’ve never had an issue finding a spot.“

“Best Food in SIMI Valley“

“This is a great place for street tacos! We had chrizo tacos that were out of this world! They have an amazing salsa bar too! You can get a great meal for under $10! 🌮🌮🌮“

“Absolutely love their fish tacos, fish enchiladas, and shrimp tango. The salsa bar is a big win too—especially the homemade sauces.

The fish is always incredibly fresh, never fishy, never weird. You can really taste the quality.“

“Great food, great drinks, great service. I cannot wait to go back.“

“Delicious! Small menu with lots of good food“

“Good!!! Ordered online and ready when I got there. Quick with healthy options.“

“The best Tri tip n Chicken anywhere! Love the owners and staff. I drive 20 miles just to eat the chips n salsa 😛“

“I love the authentic Mexican dishes served here. I go whenever I'm craving REAL Mexican food, and I've taken out of town guests there too. Very good food. Sometimes there is a bit of a wait if they are busy, but that is because the make everything fresh to order! 💕“

“My husband and I were there on Sunday, June 22. When we’re driving through the area, we always make a point of stopping there for lunch. Once again the food was excellent. I tried something new. It was a wonderful salad with grilled mahi-mahi and it was absolutely delicious and extremely healthy. The employees are always very nice and it’s always a good experience. and we like the outside dining that is covered so you’re out of the sun.“

“The chips and salsa hit the spot! If you're in the mood for drinks, this place is a solid choice—especially during happy hour. The food is tasty, though it wouldn’t make my personal top ten. That said, if you're after a lively sports bar vibe with good eats and great drinks, this is definitely the place to be“

“This place is a hidden gem in south Phoenix“

“I've been meaning to try the other places in the shopping center but it's hard to pass up Gaby's. Coworkers and I drive over there from Simi on our lunch break but it's easy with being able to call in our orders and have it ready when we arrive.“

“As a frequent customer I had my first disappointing meal here. Rice and beans were really dry and the whole #10 combo was only warm in temperature. This is not the norm and had I not been seated against the wall between people I would have gone up to the counter for a re-do. I’m kicking myself for not doing that because my leftovers were better after I heated them up later in the day.“

“First time customer today and boy am I glad I decided to give them a try! The tacos are amazing and the salsa is delicious! The employees are super friendly. I will DEFINITELY be a repeat customer, that's for sure!“

“My Mom and I were in Moorpark for the afternoon (from Oxnard) and happened, by chance, to land here—glad we did!

All the various meats you could want are on offer, with shrimp and fish dishes available, too. We considered the prices reasonable.

Mom ordered a taco salad; I had a big plate of nachos with the meat on top split: half carnitas and half Chile Verde [no other eatery has made a point of offering me this half & half option, btw].

A well stocked, complimentary, self-serve display of salsas, chips, and marinated vegetables was much appreciated.

Our dishes were promptly brought out to our table. Mom's taco salad was not large to look at, but was packed full—she kept commenting about how delicious and fresh everything was (I agree) and enjoyed her beef. My nachos were loaded: carnitas were crispy, not greasy, and with more flavor than I have experienced at other places; the Chile Verde was succulent and scrumptious with a tangy sauce.

For unpretentious Mexican fare, Taqueria El Tapatio was really a delightful surprise for us. We're not Moorpark locals, but will be back when we can.“

“Sooooo good! Everybody so friendly and happy to help. Food so healthy and fresh. We need one in Tampa or Valrico Florida please, they have no idea what good fresh Mexican food is!“

“Excellent food and service! We had a delicious lunch and the service was terrific. Owner is very nice and even served us! Highly recommend!“

“Great little bodega and wonderful meat market. All the take out food offerings are really good. I love the carnitas. The shrimp cocktail and burrito are both excellent.“

“Great chill Place great food“

“Ive only bought breakfast burritos from Carlas, they do have so much more though. Machaca burrito is my favorite the bacon, sausage and chorizo burritos are also great. The portal and taco are also very good per friends. Ill keep going back“

“Really good torta,I’ll be back“

“Great Mexican Food in Camarillo California“

“What to do when SoCal becomes SoBoring? Been going off and on to Southern California that I think I wore out my curiosity of the place. If you live in SoCal, what do they do for a break?In Toronto, if you get bored and want a weekend of craziness, you head to Montreal. If you want peace and quiet, you head north. Well San Fran is 5 hours away and a change of pace and weather would be good right? I'm packed up in the car already and my SoCal friend is available to make the trip. Cool! It's an expedition - like Miner'49'ers!“
