Mexican Restaurants near Oak Park

“I hope they stay in business. My friends and I went for happy hour a few months ago and then a week later heard they were closing. I guess they are not closing now so everyone go check them out! We loved our drinks and food. Plenty of seating.“

“Nostalgia brought us here seeking Mexican candy, snacks and sodas in our new neighborhood and we were pleasantly satiated. The station they play on their outdoor speakers churn out songs from my childhood and the staffs warm reception overrides that nothing will ever beat my own mamás cooking, but at least I can get my sweet tooth fill at this local mom and pop shop in Oak Park.“

“They used to have a covered outdoor patio but that got taken down but it looks like the place was remodeled recently because I don't remember it looking like this the first time. We visited during the pandemic as our first time and this was our second time back. We were greeted and the lady at the cash register was very friendly and pleasant. I didn't know if I should get the torta or a burrito. I always get a burrito so I decided to opt for the torta this time; it was a good choice. They loaded the torta up with fresh ingredients, including fresh cheese, and avocado, and they have the grilled onions on the side, which were delicious addition with a little bit of chips. I got horchata to drink, and it was very tasty. Perfect mixture. Overall, the establishment was very clean and there was plenty of sauces and sides to complement the dishes. The dishes or bag, and I would've loved for my boyfriend to share my torta, but he was too hungry and the food was too good. The customer service was top-notch and we would definitely return again.“

“If you're looking for a delicious place to eat traditional Mexican carnitas, this is by far the most superior spot. Dont let the huge line out the door scare you away, they move very fast.Traditional hand made tortillas, fresh food and great customer service, you can't go wrong.“

“Fantastic service great vibe. Food was good a little above average. They are a cantina but DO NOT serve alcohol. They said they will be soon but as of our visit they did not. The pork belly was amazing and the best dish we had. The quest fundido was delicious but the addition of chorizo would have made it over the top delicious. The Asada is not a traditional Carne Asada. It was a bit chewy and I would not get it again. The breakfast tacos were delicious. You can't go wrong giving this place a try and maybe you'll enjoy the asada more than we did. I will definitely be back once they open the bar and give other items a try.“

“These guys hit it on all that counts! The service was great from the second I walked in until I left! Food was excellent and the atmosphere was fun! That's a lot of exclamation points but they earned it! I started with the House Margarita with Chips and Salsa, both were great but the salsa was to die for. I had the Fajitas El Patron for dinner, OMG...the steak and chicken were so tender they could both be cut with a fork and the flavor was spectacular. Loved the shrimp too and the veggies were caramelized to perfection. Can't wait to come back!“

“I ordered lobster tacos. The lobster meat is cooked perfectly, the cabbage gives it a crunch, and I like the spiciness from the chipotle aioli. This atmosphere reminds me of dining out in Mexico. Superb service. I recommended all to try this place.“

“Really great place. They have a lot of local beers on tap such as Enegren, Topa Topa, Made West, along with a few others. They have big TVs all around with sports games on, it gives more of a sport bar vibe than a Mexican restaurant. The service was really fast and friendly. The food was really good I had the Carne Asada Tacos Street Style and the Chicken Nachos. I feel the Tacos were a little pricey at $3.75 each however the Chicken Nachos which I think were $12 were really good and came with lots of toppings and the Guacamole that comes on the Nachos was tasty as well. Over all great place to chill and eat some great Mexican food.“

“I like the organ stuff but only when it is done well and this place does the organ stuff well. I got the lengua and the cabeza and couldn't have been more pleased. I will definitely go back. Fyi, I also did get the Al pastor and it was very good but definitely prefer the lengua and cabeza!“

“We ordered the Vista Al Mar appetizer with a pitcher of margaritas. The place is very clean. We found it to be a decent spot and definitely plan to come again. Next time I want to try to Birra tacos.Vegetarian options: There are veggie options.“

“Small place hidden within this shopping center. Food was good. The service was good. The food was served quickly. Had the flautas and the chilled relleno. Even though they were good I didn't find the food amazing enough to come back. Would recommend to try but will not be a regular place I go out to eat.“

“I just stopped by today and had a great experience here. I got carnitas and al pastor street tacos and they were unbelievable. Such great flavors in the meat. Also the green and red salsa were very complimentary (red salsa is smoky spicy yum). Got the asada quesadilla for the kids (of course I had a bite) and was really pleased with the asada flavor too! Even the sour cream is great, homemade you can tell. The attention to quality is apparent!I am super glad because the first few times I was not impressed. Maybe I got the wrong things, and it seemed expensive, but everything was great at the service was great as well! It was only $20 and was enough food for 3 adults. Saw they have really good $12 lunch deals now too. Can't wait to come back!!“

“Jerry's Coffee Shop is not just yummy; it's a delightful haven for coffee lovers and food enthusiasts alike! The friendly atmosphere and welcoming staff create a warm and inviting environment. Under the new management, the experience has been elevated to a whole new level. The coffee is rich and flavorful, and the food is consistently delicious. I absolutely love the positive changes they've made, and it's become one of my favorite spots for a scrumptious meal and a friendly chat. Jerry's Coffee Shop is a true gem, thanks to the wonderful new management!“

“Sharky's in Westlake is our go-to spot. We eat there AT LEAST twice a week and Mrs. Wendy is one of the nicest people who always takes care of our family. Our sons love coming in to visit Wendy and Nancy along with getting their favorite food. We can't wait until our next visit!“

“Love supporting really good local businesses and this one is one we keep coming back to. Previously I've had a burger, teriyaki bowl, salad and all were delicious. This time I had the hard shell tacos with beef which was very good and so filling I barely touched the rice and beans. I love that the menu has so many options to please everyone in your party and the food is great! The owner is really nice (usually at the register taking your order) and will help walk you through the menu.“

“We moved out to Agoura in July of 2023, and after a few months of trying a variety of local restaurants the Adobe Cantina became our go to spot for Mexican cuisine.Taco Tuesday is great for a variety of taco options, the fajitas are legit, the enchiladas are top notch, and the margaritas are always enjoyed. Our 1 year old really loves the rice, beans, and cheese quesadillas. My mom says the Adobe Cantina makes the best chile relleno she has ever had.This restaurant has ample parking in their lot, but there is also street parking right outside. There is a lot of inside seating, but an abundance of outside seating as well. We have never waited for a table, and the service is AMAZING. I will say that all of the staff is phenomenal, but Ricardo is one of the best waiters I have ever run into.Adobe Canrina is always delicious , very friendly, and worth the visit!“

“I have been to El Pollo Corona Grill, a few times both in their MoorPark and their Simi Valley locations. The food is excellent! Compliments to their chefs! I have had their chicken, tri-tip and pork chop plates. Service is very fast and very friendly. The place is clean and orderly. Often there are many people in their restaurant, either sitting enjoying their meal or getting takeout. Their counter attendants are welcoming, quick and very good at what they do helping to keep the line moving. Thank you ElPollo Corona Grill team for a great experience and place to have lunch or dinner!“

“Jennifer is amazing and so so sweet! Best coffee i have had in a while and the amazing customer service made my day even more. The coffee bar is connected to a yummy diner which makes the ambiance very homey and comforting. If youre nearby definitely check this place out! :)“

“We had a nice meal at Yolanda's. Service was great and our food arrived promptly. Seating was comfortable and our food was tasty. The sides with the fajitas were really good. Most Mexican Restaurants don't give you guacamole or sometimes not even cheese. But I got guacamole, Tomato and onions, and shredded cheese. The portion size was perfect. My son's chicken quesadilla tacos were good too.“

“They have really good hard shell tacos with your choices of meat. My goto are the carnitas, or chicken which is lightly marinated in salas. It's the same chicken they use for there quesadillas too which are delicious! There street tacos de Asada & burritos are good too, and there bean & cheese burritos never disappoint! Of course all this good food couldn't be done without their outstanding service! If you eat here you'll enjoy the Spanish music they play on the TV, or at times they'll have a soccer game on.“

“The service was great, and the food was amazing. I had chicken and steak fajitas, which kept sizzling at our table for over 4 minutes. I observed many meals going to other tables which were immense a d everyone seemed happy! Give this place a try as I see many are doing because by the time we left....there wasn't a seat left in the place!“

“Best Mexican food ever! Had the Veracruz SeaBass ... absolutely delicious!! And Jordan - our mycologist?? Best margaritas ... not too tart not too sweet / perfect! Consider Los Agaves your next dining experience. You won't be disappointed!!“

“I go here alot for their Fish tacos. Their fish tacos are top tier. ? and the prices are super cheap compared to other places. The people there are also really nice and friendly. They also have a nice little setup outside if you feel like eating outside. Can't really ask for any better.“

“The paleta margarita is always delicious and strong and huge. Comes with lots of ice. The taquitos can be made vegan if you ask for all the toppings on the side and avoid the dairy and dressings (honey). The chips and guacamole are always like the best thing ever. Did you know they have habanero salsa? It'll knock your socks off. Yes, it's spicy lol. For a nicer ambiance ask to sit outside because indoors is a bit noisy. Bathroom can get messy at peak hours. Excellent service. I am a very repeat customer. Good for families or a night out with friends or a hot date. Oh and you can it all to go, just call ahead. Parking is dicey on Canyon Club nights and it can be cold at night. Cinco de Mayo is literally a no go, too busy. I detracted a star because there's nothing inherently vegan on the menu. But I could live off the chips and salsa. Seriously, go try.“

“This place had great food, incredible service, and reasonable prices. For me it was great in every aspect.Would definitely go back.I had a Carne asada burrito.The meat was chopped up very small. Great flavor. Also the chips and salsa was a little spicy but very good.“

“Great restaurant! I went here for a business lunch today and was impressed. I had a grilled chicken classic burrito, without the beans, and it was delicious. The service was attentive, although we were the only people in the restaurant for the lunch hour. The food was healthy and their chips looked and tasted healthier than ones you'd find at places like El Torito.The burrito was around $18, which in today's inflation is about on par for lunch. The food came out quickly, the portions were well worth the price paid and I'll definitely be back.Oh, and you have to go to the bathroom. The toilet and urinal are painted in a very fun pattern.Parking: Typical strip-mall parking. It is located close to Trader Joe's and a cardio gym, so you may need to park closer to Ralphs at times. Typical for that center though. If you've ever gone to Trader Joe's at peak time, you know what I'm talking about.“

“OK, maybe a 4.5 star. I have been going here for decades. The menu is diverse offering seafood, like most don't. This isn't the bad cooking smothered in mole sauce and delivered to your table like others. I think the current star rating is not a good as they really are. The reviews are pretty old, so I thought I would update mine. Will be back this week.“

“Called in an order, arrived at the time they had indicated it would be ready. Took awhile before anyone acknowledged my presence to pay, took another few minutes for my take out to be ready.The panzon and carnitas are excellent. I'll come back for those.“

“Nice restaurant! Good food! Too bad about the customer service. ?. They left me waiting to take phone orders. You have to give priority to the client who is present. A suggestion, have waiters. I would definitely help this restaurant, very delicious and clean.“

“Really beautiful restaurant and our service was very good. Our waitress was very polite and informative about the area and answered all of our questions. The food however, must be like this because of the demographic. But we were expecting a more authentic Mexican experience. It was enjoyable but not exactly Mexican food more fusion. Will definitely return for the atmosphere though!!“

“If you are looking for a fine dining experience, this is not the place for you. But if you are looking for delicious and authentic Mexican food prepared with care, great portions, reasonable prices, cleanliness, and super friendly staff… you’ll love this place! :-)“

“I visited this place for the first time, I came with my family and we concluded that it deserves 5 stars for everything.From the moment we walked in we were greeted by one of the staff; the system is very simple, you order and then you take your place or places, shortly after the food arrives at your table. I / we will come back.Thank you to the El Pollo Corona Grill staff for making us feel welcome.“

“I had been at this place before but I can say that this time was magnificent, even we waited for a while i have to say that it was worth it food was so delicious and perfect with friendly costumer service, clean restaurant and bathrooms..I can't wait to come back and enjoy this wonderful experience one more timeThank you, El Patio Crew.“

“2nd time getting from here. First time was with a client. This time I popped in for lunch and decided to try some different than my first time and so far everything I have tried from here has been ON POINT!! friendly staff too. Definitely will be back to try other menu items!“

“This was my first time at Sharky’s. My friend and I ate lunch there today after our 5 mile hike at Malibu Creek State Park. It’s been years since I had California style Mexican. Everything was fresh and healthy. Not globs of melted cheese over everything! I had the 2 taco plate of grilled fish: mahi mahi in one; salmon in the other. I got a side of salad instead of rice and beans. I cleaned my plate. Really good. I’m sorry they don’t have one close to my home. This will probably be our new tradition!“

“The pozole here is incredible according to my family and they love the unique taste and love coming here. I personally got the lengua burrito and I’m going to be honest here it was alright. The waitress was really helpful at making things right whenever we had a problem with our food but also making sure we were enjoying it. Very friendly staff. The inside seating is a little cramped if you come in with five plus people.Parking: The parking for this place is very cramped and holds about 7 cars without it being maxed out.Kid-friendliness: Super friendly to kids. My little sister didn’t like the burrito and the waitress speaker to her in a kind way asking what she can do to make it right.“

“Not only are the servers super attentive but the food never misses. The food quality is consistent and we always leave satisfied! I've tried a variety of the steak options but the steak Ranchero is by far my favorite! The garlic rice is a perfect touch with the refried beans! Awesome place, definitely one of my go-to's!“

“Best Mexican food in Simi Valley. Great little family operation. Their breakfast is probably the best thing they do. Best breakfast burrito, and huevos rancheros I’ve ever had. Their rice and beans are excellent. Love their burritos, shrimp tostadas, shrimp tacos, and tacos durados with el pastor. Hector and his wife always make you feel so welcome. Highly recommend and I’m a very tough critic. Have worked in restaurants for 16 years.“

“AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!I never write reviews but i felt the need to. Me and my husband just came here for the first time for breakfast, we both ordered the little mule burritos with sunny side up eggs, and they offered us a free coffee. We received the food and the portions were very big and filling, you can tell the food was made fresh and the quality is amazing. Each ingredient was made perfectly and so delicious. They wrapped it up perfectly. All the flavors came together, me and my husband were just amazed and still cant shut up about how insanely good it was. They also gave us chipotle sauce that was the best chipotle sauce we’ve ever had and cholula that complimented the burrito even more but even without it, it still tastes amazing. We both agreed this place has the best burritos we have ever had. It was an amazing start to our day. We will most definitely be coming back with a huge smile on our faces to try more things. Can’t wait!!“

“I have eating here for years. It seems that a lot of the staff and the cooks stay around and the result is they're running a pretty tight system That combined with Sharkeys's quality ingredients makes for some pretty good eating the restaurant is clean and efficient and the ambience is decent The staff is always friendly but hustling all of the proteins are of a very good quality they always get a couple of special requests from me on my giant sized, mixed up meal, and it usually comes out, correct. This is a good reliable option.“

“Not sure why the reviews are so bad? First time here tonight. The staff is incredibly nice. I was unable to decide so I was offered samples. The cashier was friendly. There was a gentleman on his break and he (without me asking) made sure to refill the horchata. The food itself is tasty. Big portions. I really like the tortilla and the chicken was very flavorful. You basically choose if you want a quesadilla, burrito etc then get to pick what goes in it. A bit similar idea to chipotle. The place is casual and extremely clean.A good spot with the ability to create some healthy choices.The reason I gave four stars is because I simply cannot justify the price. Otherwise, great place and great hardworking staff.“

“During this Lent season I've been getting my fix of fish tacos on. I've been to Snapper Jacks several times in the last few weeks. I keep planning to order something different but I'm hooked on the fish tacos. I go between the hard and soft shell. But the soft shell are winning me over. Delicious! Rice and beans tops it off.“

“The quintessential, ideal local donut shop. Always fresh, always delicious across a wide spectrum of offerings, and very reasonably priced (this is no bougie Sidecar-esque joint, just outstanding, classic donuts). Parking is free and easy, the proprietors are nice, they're open long hours, I honestly can't think of a single negative thing about it. It's to the point where I find myself making excuses to come grab their donuts any time I can. I've tried most of their offerings in the 3 years since I moved to the area, and you really can't go wrong with anything...but if I had to pinpoint my personal favorites, it's gotta be the glazed buttermilk bar, the chocolate chip roll, and the old-fashioned. I hope this place is here forever.“

“We have sat in and had a team party catered. The food was great and service was great. We ordered 26 burritos, beans,rice, chips & salsa. The boys talked about how good the burritos were. Price was good and well worth it. I have a new favorite Mexican restaurant in “

“The food was great. Of course, I drenched my torta in their habanero sauce because I'm a spice junkie. But that's besides the point! Humble little store, great service. They have really good aguas frescas (their horchata actually tastes like horchata rather than the popular stuff from powder), good menu selection of tortas. Very chill ambiance, they have Mexican snacks and drinks to buy. Overall, great experience. I hope they get more business.“

“Hadn't been here in years. Grew up on the west side & this place was a staple. Looks like it still is. Came in at 11:30am on a Saturday & they are doing a good amount of business. Lots of take out orders. Prices are reasonable. Try em if u haven't.“

“Food was delicious. Had the fish burrito & a blackened shrimp taco. The fish burrito was solid but the blackened shrimp taco was definitely the highlight of my meal. The way it was prepared and seasoned was phenomenal and I’d definitely recommend to give this place a shot if you’re in Calabasas. The prices are fair given the area. They also were open on Christmas Day which definitely saved my stomach when I was super hungry after a long day in Malibu.“

“Love three amigos. Been here twice and I loved it both times. The nachos are really good and the burritos are not bad. The salsa was really flavorful. Prices were generally pretty fair for the quality. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor space is rather small but there was plenty of space both times I was there. Would definitely recommend you check it out if you’ve never been.Parking: It is in a large strip mall that is fairly busy. You should be able to find a spot though.“

“Went there tonight and I had the best experience...the ladies which take your order are so friendly and awesome customer service.Drinks were great! Food was delicious and came quickly. And most importantly all staff came kept coming to our table to make sure we were happy!I'm totally big in customer service and all staff went over and beyond!Bonus... great bands on patio!Check them out!“

“Came in Saturday night of Thanksgiving weekend and the place was dead. Me & my wife had Asada Burritos that were excellent. The owner was super nice & gave us the remote for the TV without us asking. Let us pick something to watch on Netflix. Restaurant is clean and the drinks are cold. Go pay them a visit and give a local spot some business. They've been here for 19 years and it would be great if they can stay open for another 19 years. Say hi to Lupe. She rocks!“
