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.“

“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.“

“Delish“

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

“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!“

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

“My new favorite takeout spot. The meat is well seasoned, juicy, tender with so much flavor. Rice and beans are also very good, not dry or plain at all. Great salsas and sauces. HANDS DOWN THE BEST HORCHATA I’ve ever had in my life. Thanks for existing Zapoteca!“

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

“The crispy tacos are great. So is the carnitas. It is super quiet at lunch during the week, but busy on Sunday. The bar is a nice place to watch sports and eat, as well. I will say some days the beans seem homemade, but others like they came from a can. I really enjoy the place, though. Great iced tea“

“This is by far the best authentic Mexican restaurant in Simi Valley! The portion size is very generous and the customer service is amazing. We go there every Thursday and it never gets old. Every time we go the food just gets better and better. If you’re in Simi, I highly recommend!“

“Amazing food! Friendly staff, very clean!“

“I love this. It is a guilty pleasure. We used to come here since I was a kid. I can’t believe it’s still in the same location. In fact, I used to live at Bruno Campos home over on Ardenwood! I used to rent out the beautiful apartment that he has custom built over his garage but anyway this place is delicious. I love the smothered enchiladas as I said it is a guilty pleasure. You must try it at least once.“

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

“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. 🥰“

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

“Always amazing! Never disappointed“

“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.“

“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! 💕“

“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!“

“This place is a hidden gem in south Phoenix“

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

“Awesome food I’ve tried the pollo and asada. He hooks it up with 3 different cups of salsa (which are definitely delicious), grilled onions and pepper some lemon and cucumber slices! You can get fries in your burrito too. The price for a burrito is not bad at all. Definitely recommend it!“

“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.“

“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..“

“Best margaritas in town! Love the atmosphere.“

“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!! 😁😉😊“

“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.“

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

“Great tacos and ranch and tacos and ranch“

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

“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.“

“My brother and I had breakfast today. I had the torta desayuno and he had the heuvos rancheros with beans and tortillas. It was all delicious and topped off with a bottle of Tehuacan sparkling water (my favorite). The people who work there were very friendly too!“

“The tacos were delicious! We ordered 3 Carne Asasda, 2 Carnitas, and 1 chicken tacos. All were small but cooked to perfection. Condiments were self- served. The ambiance was clean and small. I'm not sure if they had a. restroom? The flavored street tacos were serered fast and were excellent for our road trip.“

“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.“

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

“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. :)“

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

“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.“

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

“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“

“Comida muy rica el servico muy bien“

“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“

“this was the best del taco I've ever eaten at. clean and everyone was very nice“

“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.“

“I absolutely loved my experience at this Mexican restaurant! The food was bursting with authentic flavor, and the service was so friendly and attentive. What really made it special was the vibrant atmosphere – the black lights gave such a cool, almost otherworldly glow to the incredible calavera artwork throughout the space. It was festive, unique, and added such a fun energy to the whole dining experience. Definitely a must-visit!“
