“At Villanueva Mexican Restaurant, embark on a salsa odyssey that elevates the ordinary to extraordinary! Their legendary salsa bar, a carnival of flavors, turns each bite into a fiesta. The shrimp fajitas, while promising a flavor explosion, waded through a sea of gravy, a twist in our culinary tale. Though this unexpected plot thickens our journey, the salsas alone make Villanueva a treasure worth exploring. It's a solid four-star adventure, where every dip transports you closer to Mexico. Dive into Villanueva for a taste escapade that’s almost perfect – just watch out for the gravy waves!Recommendations:Their salsa bar!

Vegetarian options: Few vegetarian items“

“Absolutely the best meal you can get in Santa Clarita. My fiance and me just stumbled upon this place a few months ago and we can't stop going. They know us by first name now and I can say this place is truly a gem! Silvia is the sweetest person you'll meet. Make sure your ready for a great hearty meal that'll make you leaving happy and in need of a nap! At this point I've brought all my family members and we all agree it's a great place! Don't be out off by the lot, it can be busy but once you are inside, get ready for some great service and food.“

“I had to pull over on my drive back to the Central Valley just to write this review. I am absolutely amazed. This place has, without contest, the best vegan meat substitutes I’ve ever tasted. The Al Pastor may legitimately be better than the best quality I’ve ever had with pork. The spices and sweetness are perfect, and every piece is soft and melts in your mouth like the fatty bits would in a traditional pork version. I will 100% be coming here any time I’m remotely near the area.“

“Sunday morning breakfast. Out of towner, stumbled upon with a Google search. We ate outside in a covered patio. Huevos con Chorizo highly recommended. I’m looking forward to the next time I’m in town. Highly recommended do not pass up the opportunity. ENJOY!“

“Amazing food! Made to order, clean and beautiful dining area, excellent customer service. Tacos Al pastor, tacos de chicharrón, gorditas Xochipilli, chilaquiles, a few of my favorites. The best spot in the valley for authentic Mexican food.“

“Marcos is phenomenal!! He treats each customer with care, and makes sure we’re eating right.
I always get the breakfast burrito & the freshly made juice— amazing!!!

Vegetarian options: Burritos can be made a la mexicana! (With beans and veggies)“

“I just moved to the area and I saw this little spot. I have lived in the valley for 30+ years and was very disappointed with the choices of Mexican food well I'm so happy I found this place. 30 years in the valley and I just found this place. I will definitely be going back again and again. The gentlemen running and cooking were so nice and on it.“

“The food is absolutely fantastic here! We ordered the asada curly fries and shrimp tacos and both were delicious and generously portioned. My only complaint is I wish they were open for longer but definitely worth visiting if you're in the area. Well priced and friendly staff as well. I hope they stay here for a while!!“

“We love to come here sit in the bar with margaritas, chips/salsa. Meet all types of people, a fun time.“

“Best authentic Sri Lankan food I've come across in US. They serve a variety of Sri Lankan specialties including regular home-style rice & curries, lamprais, kottu & Sri Lankan short-eats. Huge portions for the price we pay. Looking forward to trying their Mexican food as well. Heard their Mexican food is so authentic & tastes great!“

“I revisited this place after years, having been a regular from 2007 to 2014 growing up. Surprisingly, nothing much has changed, except for the owner sporting grey hairs and the welcomed addition of card payments. The familiar great taste of the food, horchata, and salsa remain the same in a good way.“

“Great waters and friendly staff :)“

“we have been going to this restaurant for a long time. we love their food But we noticed that they changed the portion size! We understand that everything is getting expensive but they made portion size way little. I ordered vegetarian quesadilla and always ordered and my husband ordered torta and both orders came out too small!! they barely put vegetables inside so we really did not like it!“

“Happy Hour is a great time to experience this place! Delicious items on the Happy Hour menu, of course you can order from regular menu as well. Mix and match! We love the Ceviche and Carnitas tacos. Shot of Tequila and a Modelo hit the spot. Friendly people and atmosphere.“

“A very nice and cozy place located in Sylmar. Food was well seasoned and the server was friendly and welcoming. Parking is a bit small but there's street parking as well. The only thing I didn't enjoy as much were the beans, they were slightly under cooked and bland, the rice and asada burrito were really good. Pancakes were moist and fluffy as they should. Carne asada taco was also really good however if you don't like it spicy ask for salsa on the side. Overall a nice welcoming restaurant.“

“exelente servicio, muy rika la comida“

“Our new favorite little whole in the wall place for authentic Mexican food! Their chili rellano is amazing also, their breakfasts are really good. Their combo plates are so good! Prices are reasonable and we eat there now about once a week. The owner is so nice and he always has a joke or two.“

“Ordered the California chicken taco and Santa Fe Burrito with beans. Both were very tasty, good sized portions and came with tortilla chips and a GREAT salsa bar. Which were amazing btw. Try the roasted tomato salsa, my fav, and the gracamole salsa.“

“las redes sociales tienen un potencial enorme...quise venir a disfrutar quizas parte de comida tijuanense...es una lastima que empleadas como esta echen a perder todo...pedí 3 tacos y una coca...y no me puso la coca en la orden...me hizo esperar el tiempo que quiso para darme mi cambio...mientras esperaba vi como le hizo mal otra orden a un señor con discapacidades...y argumentaba que no podía cambiar la orden hasta que viniera un manager...y no somos perfectos..lo se..pero la actitud es muy importante...al estar apoyando al sr en silla de ruedas...ella volteo hacia a mi y me dijo que no me metiera donde no me llaman..total..me voy decepcionado“

“Tried the place for the first time. Ordered California burrito, and black bean burrito. Wasn’t expecting it to be really good. The burritos itself were delicious, the portions were good as well. The price was reasonable and taste buds were happy. Sitting are outside truck as well. Will go back for tacos, worth it. Recommended.

Vegetarian options: Black bean burrito, Grilled vegetables as a protein option.“

“Muy rica comida excelente servicio, muy amables todos 🥰“

“Always a great time! Great staff, fun vibes and when ever we land here for a quick drink to hours long hangs. The memories we leave with are always the best of times! We are so lucky to have such a cool local spot so close to home! Thanks team Sagebrush and Cheryl for all the great times!“

“By hand, from scratch, hot and delicious and you're not breaking your budget, the best kept secret of the San Fernando Valley. Thank the maker they don't have a website, it's busy enough.“

“With taco trucks being all the rage this is one that you need to visit. The Birria Tacos here are bar none the best that I've had. Don't get me started with their other offerings of burritos, here. They are big full of flavor and well worth the price. The quesadillas are my next favorite, but believe me everything here is good.

Parking: The only thing about the parking here is that there's just a few spots around the truck that are available so it's going to be a walk if you have to park right on the street. If not, the business that is right in front has a big lot where you could just sit there and eat your food after you get it just make sure it's on the weekend. I'm pretty sure they're not too happy if you're parking there during the week.“
