“I only post if I’m compelled to by something exceptional. The food is tasty here, the prices are unexpectedly reasonable, the drinks are strong and big, and the service is great! I’ve come here many times, but lately have been seated at the bar. My bartender Taise is very friendly, welcoming and attentive. I previously had my 50th birthday party here with 20+ people and had random requests, but everything was met with kind helpful responses. It’s a great place! Like I said, I rarely take the time to post unless it’s worthy of it.“

“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!“

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.“

“This place has absolutely become one of my go-tos in Simi. I’m obsessed. The food is amazing, the cheap tacos on Tuesdays are such a good deal, and their cucumber drink is SO good. I literally think about it when I’m not there. 😂

But honestly, one of the biggest reasons I keep coming back is the people. The main girl I always see working the register—the one who always has her red lipstick and her nails done—is SO sweet. Like genuinely so sweet and personable. She remembers you, talks to you like an actual person, and somehow every interaction with her just feels good. I love her, love her, love her. Everyone else I’ve interacted with has been really nice too.

There are honestly very few places in Simi where I feel like the customer service is as much a part of the experience as the food, and this is one of them. It’s all about the vibes for me, and the vibes here are just GOOD.

The parking can be a little confusing/hidden the first time you come here, but once you figure it out, you get it. It almost adds to the charm because this place feels like one of those if you know, you know spots.

Cheap tacos on Tuesday, cucumber drink, amazing people. What else do I need? 😂 Whether I’m coming specifically for Taco Tuesday or just because I’m craving their food, I’ll absolutely keep coming back. I love this place.“

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

“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“

“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.....“

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

“Real crab in the burrito-peefect.The Cancun burrito which had grilled fish and real crab, had an amazing flavor. It comes with tortilla which is great with the salsa bar. Great flavors, ch I ices and pther items at the self service bar. Especially the Habanero. Staff are welcoming and friendly which is a high point. I wished the burrito was a little larger, but with the chips amd crab is filling. I cannot wait to come back again. Overall, 10/10. Flavor 10/10. Cleanliness 10/10. Chill place to eat inside or on the patio.“

“Hello fam!! Few days ago i came across to Pollo Amigo joint, and let me share my experience.
Chicken was amazing, delicious flavor, and juicy.
Options; medium well or well done
Rice really good, friend beans excellent
Red sauce, salsa roja, i thinks it could be improved, too simple.
Tortillas were ok.
Arturo was super friendly and profesional.
Good priced.
The establishment need some maintance.
Highly recomended, i defenely coming back for more chicken!!“

“This place has been consistent for many many years let’s get into it.

There’s plenty of parking, that’s never an issue.
Upon walking in I was greeted immediately.
The interior is very clean and has good seating.

The menu is easy to understand and the ordering counter is simple.

I’ve had mostly everything from here. And what’s funny about it. Is I feel their chicken quesadilla is one of the best in the entire US.
Something simple KEPT simple. And it does SO well.
Chicken is always tender, fresh and seasoned very well.
Right amount of cheese.
Not greasy at all.

So would I recommend this place?
Absolutely.
If you want some good Americanized Mexican food.
This is definitely a go to.
By no means is it authentic what so ever.
But is it fresh? Yes.
Does it have flavor? Absolutely.

Enjoy!“

“I had the same server as two years and ago and she’s still awesome. I wish I could remember her name :) I go every time I come to visit from Maryland. The food always hits the spot. I just miss the tree stumps. Other than that there’s 3 things to look forward to in Simi Valley-good friends, Smiley face hill and Jerry’s Coffee Shop. :)“

“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“

“comida deliciosa, excelente servicio“

“Amazing food! Friendly staff, very clean!“

“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.“

“fajitas de pollo y los nachos“

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

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

“We got our usual burritos, a Fajita burrito and a Chile Relleno burrito. They are both so flavorful! I highly recommend all of their burritos. The burritos are so large we cut them in half and have them for lunch the next day.
Their chips are excellent as well, they definitely don’t taste like they’re coming out of a bag from the grocery store!“

“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, get the asada burrito it’s one of the few spots in Simi with real Chili Arbole sauce

4 months and like 5 more trips later it’s still dope! Great burritos nachos fries and birria.

It’s a small joint so if you’re used to good food you know what’s up. My daughter loves the asada fries“

“Food and service fresh and fabulous and dog friendly 🐾🥳🐾“

“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.“

“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“

“Best Food in SIMI Valley“

“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!“

“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.“

“My favorite stop on Thursdays!“

“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!! 😁😉😊“

“Best taco Tuesday ever!!!!“

“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“

“I come to this place every Friday and that is not an exaggeration, I absolutely love this place. Everything on the regular and specials menu is amazing and I’m always finding something new. The margaritas are always terrific and Jordan, the bartender/unofficial face if Los Agaves, is super nice and often times knows my family’s drink/food order even before we do.

Also, the manager, Carlos, always does a great job taking care of all the tables, checking in occasionally throughout the meal.

I cannot recommend this place and the molcajete sauce enough.“

“So I’m writing this as I walk out this amazing restaurant first I wanna say the customer service there is spectacular second the salsa is Superb And the Food here is out of this world to get authentic food and homemade tortillas From this place, you can tell that made the food with love if you haven’t eaten here, you are missing out“
