50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Piru

“I didn’t expect much, but it was worth it. I went there for lunch, and the food was great. I ordered a supreme beef burrito—it was huge and really good. There was a bit of a lack of sauce, though. But overall, very delicious! The only thing is that the cashier didn’t understand much English when I tried to order, so she asked her friend to translate. No worries! Still a really nice place.“

“Everything is fine, the detail is that it takes a little while to serve. The food has that homemade flavor, they sell Mexican and Salvadoran food. It is in a small town with very old buildings such as the train station. And how nice it is that everyone knows each other.

Parking: It is on a street where there are more shops, old ones that look like they are from the old West, and they park on the street.

Kid-friendliness: It is suitable for children because it is family-friendly.“

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

“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.“

“A small speckle of the Oaxacan cuisine as is recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, highlighting its deep cultural roots and significance. This recognition underscores the importance of preserving traditional Mexican cuisine, particularly as practiced in Oaxaca, with its unique ingredients, cooking techniques, and social customs!!!“

“This food is the best mexican food I've ever had in my life. I've been coming here for like 9 years since I was younger and oh my gosh it is so good i used to live in Simi valley and moved and I haven't had it for like 2 years and I've been trying to find a New Mexican restaurant where I live now and coming back too this from all the other Mexican restaurants just makes me realize how much better this food is compared to the others like I dont know what they put in the food but it is one of a kind.“

“Legit Mexican food in Fillmore. We ordered a variety of tacos and a bean & cheese burrito. Everything was seasoned well. The carne asada was made with excellent quality meat becaise there was zero bone, gristle, or fat. Just 100% soft, tender deliciousness. Salsas were good, too. Would definitely recommend!“

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

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

“I have had the Tortas and I will be completely honest. The Tortas are the best I have ever had. We are lucky to have them here in Fillmore. I you are not from here and are passing by you need to stop by and try their delicious food.“

“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. 🥰“

“Always amazing! Never disappointed“

“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“

“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.“

“Saw this place in the late spring when me & my wife were in town for a day trip but didn't eat here. So glad we came back. We were seated quickly and given chips & salsa. Our server was pleasant & welcoming. Next came the Mimosas and they were perfect. My wife & I both had the namesake Fiesta Plate which is taquitos (cut in half) wirh your choice of beef or chicken topped with chips & cheese quesadillas with salsa & quac in the middle. It was next level! Prices are really good also for the quality of the food. They're right in Fillmore's cool little downtown. Will definitely come back.“

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

“Absolutely adore this quaint family restaurant. ❤️ Food and Service are the ?best! I had the pork carnitas plate, and my bestie had that ginormous chimichanga, lol... We both took some home. Everything was so yummy...

Kid-friendliness: Family restaurant ❤️

Wheelchair accessibility: Absolutely accessible..“

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

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

“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!! 😁😉😊“

“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.“

“Good food reasonable prices“

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

“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.“

“Amazing food! Friendly staff, very clean!“

“We were headed for Ojai this afternoon but a roadblock through the hills changed our plans. We checked out Santa Paula but nothing really stood out, so we headed towards Filmore and discovered Los Altos Mexican Restaurant - a hidden gem on Santa Clara Street. We really enjoyed our lunch with our patio seating and delicious food and margaritas. We highly recommend this restaurant and are glad our adventure led us to this terrific place!“

“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“

“Best margaritas in town! Love the atmosphere.“

“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! 💕“

“Been enjoying Carrillo’s since it opened! There’s so many delicious choices, but my favorite go to is the bean and cheese! Nobody else’s even comes close!

Parking: Park in the side alley. It’s easier to get out.

Kid-friendliness: My son lives this place! Bean and cheese, el pastor quesadillas and tamales are his favorite.“

“We had them cater my daughters birthday party with a taco bar. It came with 3 kinds of meats, tortillas along with all of the fixings and then some. All of my guests kept getting 3 and 4 plates of food. We have been in Moorpark for years and had not heard of them, until we were referred to them by the owners of Jaro’s (another local Moorpark eatery). I highly recommend you try and support this great local spot.“

“Cute bakery and restaurant combo. The menu has a nice selection to choose from yet simple. It’s walk up style which is always a bummer for me since the dinning are is large and has so much potential. I dinned in and took some food home as well. For the stay I enjoyed the shrimp cheviche tostadas. It was good but I wish it had more juice to it. The shrimps were kinda dry.
For the to go I got the fajitas mixed and beef sopes. The fajitas could have had more flavor / seasoning to it. Kinda tasted plain. But the portion was large. The sopes were loaded up with meat 🥩 and toppings as well. The sope itself was kinda soggy but it’s to be expected as a to go order but it could have been fired for a bit longer for a more crunchy texture. Over all I’d comeback and try a few more things. The girl up front was friendly and nice with a pleasant voice as well as attitude.“

“Delicious food! I had the nachos with carnitas, excellent.“

“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. :)“

“This location is a perfect stop on my way home from a long trip. I love the tortilla soup with red hot sauce-yum, it just warms me up.“

“Superb foods, superb Customer service, superb everything ! I love all ! God bless always ! ���������� !“

“Great tacos and ranch and tacos and ranch“

“Great food friendly staff they always make you feel at home😊“

“THEY HAVE AN AMAZING EMPLOYEE JANYN SHES ALWAYS GREAT!“

“Found this restaurant on a whim. Glad I did. 1st was the awesome smell when I walked in. Nice menu, just enough not to overwhelm you. I ordered the chile relleno plate. Best I've tasted, with a sauce that included red an green bell peppers and onions with fried Japanese chiles. Great beans as well. On my way through Fillmore I will be stopping by“

“I’ve been eating at Baja Fresh for over 20 years, and their bean and cheese burrito has always been a favorite—big, flavorful, and wrapped in a tortilla that just hits right every time. Their salsa bar is still top-notch. Honestly, I wish they sold this stuff at grocery stores.

We visited this location in February 2025, and the food tasted exactly as it should. But $10 for a bean and cheese burrito? Oof. Dropping $48 for three b&c burritos and two kids’ meals felt a little steep, but I guess that’s just the world we live in now.

The food took a few extra minutes to come out, but the real disappointment was that my 7-year-old didn’t finish their quesadilla. Even Moses had to pause for a moment of reflection. Double oof. Still, a solid experience and a good meal.“

“First of all, The atmosphere of this location is so welcoming , didn’t know if I should sit inside or the patio, THE PATIO., then my corona special gets to the table quickly and the food is great and DELICIOUS, amazing BBQ,, fresh ingredients, authentic home cooked meal and this is a first time visit for me!!! (where have I been?) I can’t wait to come back here again! Thanks“

“Raspberry margarita yum! The kids loved the Trunk O Treat in the parking lot! It was fun for us parents as well! Also the kids fries were so good too lol“

“Comida muy rica el servico muy bien“

“I order here often. Love the food.
Four stars because the Only negative is that since the price increase the portions have gotten A LOT SMALLER. THEY ARE HALF THE SIZE THEY USED TO BE.
Some people say the to go orders tend to be smaller as opposed to you standing there and watching them make it.“

“Portions are generous, price is quite reasonable for what you get! Drive thru service was FLAWLESS. I will definitely be back. Favorite items:CRUNCHWRAP SUPREME, no seasoned beef, no nacho cheese, add onion, add steak, add spicy ranch sauce.NACHO CHEESE DORITOS® LOCOS TACOS SUPREME, no seasoned beef, add chicken, add onion, add Mexican pizza sauce.“

“Pleasantly surprised. Food was pretty good. The chile relleno , rice, beans, enchiladas and flan were so good. My family had pasole and waffles and also enjoyed. Mimosas were kept topped off. We celebrated my nephews birthday and had a great time.“
