“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.“

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!“

“The food was great, vibe was amazing.
The staff were nice, but the food took for ever, be ready to wait about 45 minutes for your food to arrive.
Might not come back here just for this reason and this only if we are planning on dinner.
Having that said, if you are craving drinks, definitely your spot is here.“

“This is our new go-to in Conejo Valley. We love great food and have only a few places we will go again and again.. This place just made the list! Fresh food, insane house-made salsa bar w fresh roasted jalapeños, limes, freshly made chips . I love the fish tacos. My husband goes for the fajitas. Great owner, great service, great food!“

“Delish“

“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.“

“Every dish I've had here has been a testament to genuine tradition and passion. The staff is incredibly attentive and friendly, Their hospitality truly elevates the experience, making you feel like more than just a customer; you're part of a family. It’s rare to find a place that consistently delivers such delicious, heartfelt cuisine while maintaining a welcoming environment. This restaurant is a true gem in Simi Valley, and I am so grateful for the wonderful memories I’ve created here.
Thank you for bringing a piece of Mexico’s rich culinary culture to our community. I look forward to many more visits and sharing this special place with friends and family. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic, soul-satisfying Mexican food.“

“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!“

“Como mexicana y conocedora de la BUENA comida mexicana, este restaurante esta delicioso su sazon su staff es increiblemente amable, su decoracion es muy bonita y super limpio todo. Altamente recomendado. Saludos desde el Paso Tx. 🥰“

“comida deliciosa, excelente servicio“

“rico todo y excelente atencion“

“Good food ! Wish I knew it was here sooner . It will be in my normal rotation .“

“I love this place. I'm here whenever I'm in Simi. great food, great price. i recently posted a review for this restaurant, but today what I ordered was not what I usually get.
ive been coming here for sometime and today I ordered my usual carnitas and bean burrito. it was small and not the sane.
a restaurant is best measured by its quality and. consistently and the last few visits its been questionable.
im an ex chef and I look at the overall picture before criticizing, today I had no choice but to give them a thumbs down“

“wonderful little restaurant with delicious food immaculate vibes, friendly staff, and certainly a hidden gem in the heart of old malibu, will definetly be back again

Parking: parking was not an issue just steep entrance so tricky in a low car“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Went to the Cantina this past Friday afternoon to see Theresa Russell. Fantastic music and great drinks from Trino the bartender. Mario, the GM, always creates a professional atmosphere and extraordinary customer service. I recommend it highly.....“

“Very tasty food at a fair price for the quality you get.“

“Los agaves has been my family and I’s favorite Mexican restaurant to visit for the past couple years now. We’ve ventured around the menu and everything we get is delicious! We love visiting the west lake village location as well as the Santa Barbara location on De la vina street. Both exceptional!
I’ve seen a couple reviews complaining as to why servers don’t come take our orders at the table. God forbid you have to order your own food at the register. I personally don’t mind at all. In addition I’ve always received great service when visiting. 10/10 I recommend to any one every chance I get!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Best Food in SIMI Valley“

“i have been eating here for 20 years..food is always good, hot and friendly people. Good if you work and only have 1/2 for lunch. Prices are more than fair. Highly recommend“

“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.“

“I'd highly recommend this Simi Valley staple! If you love Mexican Food, you will LOVE El Patio! If you have never been....What rock have you been living under? WTHeck....Get up and Go already!! 😁😉😊“

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

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

“Good food reasonable prices“

“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.“

“Best margaritas in town! Love the atmosphere.“

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

“This place is a hidden gem in south Phoenix“

“their burritos and drinks are the perfect meal for me“

“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“

“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.“

“Amazing food! Friendly staff, very clean!“

“To be honest I don't know where to begin...perhaps explosion of wow inside of my mouth! The tacos here are amazeballs covered in awesome sauce. I eat here regularly for lunch and have become ADDICTED! The food is amazing, the service is bar none, and I love the large screen tv while you wait for your order. It's hard to imagine food this great being inside a Chevron but don't let that make you miss out on truly terrific tacos! There are lots of other snacks and items to be found in this location that makes going for tacos all the better! The price...fuggedabout it! Taqueria Las Virgenes I love you!“

“fajitas de pollo y los nachos“

“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! 💕“

“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!“

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