“I know, the name outside is a Mexican restaurant, but you will travel to Sri Lanka for sure. The ambiance is really simple, casual, every Friday and Saturday nights they have buffet for $20 person. You need eat with hooper, a pancake bowl. The food is delicious! And the service is friendly. Also, you need try Fatoolah, delicious drink dessert , $4. There is a market beside, I will try next day. It was a tip from one Sri Lanka guy.“
“This is my favorite vegan Mexican spot. They have the best food and it’s fairly affordable considering it’s vegan. I always get the Al Pastor burrito, cause it’s packed with flavor. They have other amazing items, but I tend to stick with my go to option that I listed. Overall, I am never disappointed when I go here, cause for the price the burritos are huge.“
“Super tasty food, delicious snacks. Everything done at the moment!! And the unique attention. Very friendly and attentive. First time and I was impressed. I recommend it, I will return every time I go from San Francisco to San Fernando Los Angeles. God Bless the workers, owner and Restaurant and prosper them!!!“
“First time going. Went for a late lunch. Staff was very friendly & the food came out fast. This has an elevated or more modern vibe compared to other "traditional" Mexican restaurants with familiar menu items (tacos, chips&guac, street corn) but several premium items (tomahawk steak, lobster bomba rice) or unique options (jimca salad, shrimp chile) as well. I like the small plates and tacos but also appreciate the large plates for dinner. They also have mocktails which are fantastic- we had spicy passionfruit. Wel will ne neck amd the atmosphere is lively from watching sports to a date night.“
“Stopped by to get some late tacos. Pleasantly greeted by a very nice family, father, mother, sons and their daughter. Not only are they a very charming family, the food is great. So far I tried, Tacos de asada, al pastor and cabeza. Mulitas de asada, al pastor, vampiro de asada and a vampiro in a mulita de asada. I will definitely stop by again to try more items from their menu. They've gained a new customer.“
“Food is delicious! Been here twice and it doesn't disappoint Service is fast and efficient. Servers are attentive to their tables! Just amazing!Highly recommended for authentic Mexican breakfast, plus i love the music! Got to hear PXNDX! which is one of my favorite bands !“
“We liked it a lot! I went with my family, and all the dishes we ordered were very well served and delicious. We ordered birria, a fish fillet, some tacos, chicken fajitas and Menudo. Excellent service and the place is very cozy.I highly recommend this place!!“
“Yo I've lived in sherman oaks for a long time and I cant believe I just found out about this place. I came with my friend for lunch and it was packed. The workers are really nice and I got recommended the torta and the lunch plates. The carne asada plate was fire and so was their horchata it tasted homemade not the powder kind that some places give. I'll def be backParking: 2 parking spots in the back“
“I order tamales from Me Gusta all of the time at our Ventura Farmers Market. They are the best! My favorite is chili cheese but they all are so good. Serves hot or coldVegetarian options: Chili cheese are the bomb but they also have bean and cheese, pineapple, strawberry, etc“
“Wow I am so happy I found this restaurant. Doesn't seem like much from the outside but oh my goodness it is nice on the inside. I love the vibes. I've gone in this shopping center plenty times and I have never seen this place and I thank yelp for making it known! Wow there food is so good! Super authentic and tastes homemade. Reasonable prices. Huge portions and super filling food. I want to try more!!! Servers were great!! They are super understaffed here and were working their butts off! Making sure we were okay, getting us drinks very fast, making sure to recognize that we were waiting and rushing to get to us despite it being busy! and it still didn't take as long as other places where they do have the staff!! Also they are super friendly! It seemed like many people who were there were friends with the servers! And that says something about the service! I loved how cute the inside of this place looked and honestly I wasn't expecting it to look this way from the outside. It is much bigger than it looks on the outside and way nicer too. Comfy booths and big tables for large parties! I am happy I came here and I am so happy this exists in SCV! I feel like we don't have that many good authentic Mexican restaurants, and this is definitely one of the good ones! So excited to come back and taste more of the food!“
“This is a hole in the wall restaurant that seems to be a neighborhood favorite. There are not many tables inside, but they have a lot of covered seating outside behind the restaurant. Parking is limited, but we found some nearby at a strip center. 4/5 - Complimentary Tostadas: Served with pico de gallo, salsa and bean dip. Really good. 4/5 - Horchata 4/5 - Eggs, Beans & Carne Asada: My husband requested this (since it's not on the menu) and they made it for him. He was very happy. 2/5 - Beef Machaca: The beans and rice and tostada were really good. I didn't love the machaca though. The food came out to 3.5 stars. Service was friendly and attentive, so I will bump it up to 4 stars. I think this is probably a good lunch / dinner location.“
“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“
“Literally a delicatessen. Bring your Mom cause she doesn't want to cook, invite your Grandma I wish I was able to. Delicious, just as Mothers family's kitchen. NOPALESon pointVegetarian options: Nopales a la MadreKid-friendliness: Healthy good food to strengthen these muscles. ?“
“To the person that is reading this, I just want you to know that the food was so good that it saved me from depression. It was a rainy day, I had no motivation no energy no nothing. But then I went around and looked for food places near by and I went and ordered “Carne Asada fries” (I’m lactose) but that didn’t stop me. The staff were awfully nice and sweet. I was all depressed until they said my food was ready. I took one bite and oh my days. My toes started to curl, my hair started to go up, I was literally floating. Each fry was unbelievable savory and so good. My depression on that day was finally cured. 15 years of depression all gone with just one fry. So yes I do definitely recommend this. Ps. If you don’t eat from here then you’re gay.“
“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.“
“This place was a 10-10!! I had to go to La to do a quick run and I seen this was a hotspot ! We'll let me tell you the birria plate which idk why it didn't post when I posted a picture of it but it was so good and the ceviche tostada also good they only accept cash just a heads up ! The service was a 10/10 as well it's a small spot max maybe 20-30 people can fit in there maybe less but overall I would definitely come back here again !“
“Best breakfast burrito I've had in quite some time. Best part was that they let me sub potatoes for the meat. The burrito came out quickly after ordering at the counter. The lady who helped me was incredibly nice and offered some extra salsa (the spicy salsa was perfect). The burrito had tasty potatoes, fluffy eggs, and a good portion of beans, wrapped in a warm, flakey tortilla. Don't miss it!“
“I absolutely love this place. I love their tacos. The nice thin tortilla with perfectly fried shrimp. Everything about this place is awesome. And the fact that it's a family owned business is even better. I love it can't get enough.“
“First time trying La Cocina Bar & Grill. I liked the decor and obeisance. The service is impeccable. The prices are fair. We had dinner on Saturday and it crazy busy. We were quoted 35 minutes waiting time for seating. It turns out to be less than 20 minutes. Service was quick. The food came out hot from the kitchen. I thought my burrito was ok but the meat wasn't as tender as i would have liked it. We thought the margaritas were tasty but seems to be weak with alcohol. We had a great time and we definitely will return for another meal.“
“I've been coming here since I was a kid but the new owner Marcos is definitely the coolest man/owner! He treats everyone like family and I love that he personally walks my order out to me every time. We chat like we've always known each other I think it's awesome! Highly recommend eating here! I eat here once a week and bring it on the golf course with me every weekend!“
“I’ve been looking for a delicious torta for a long time and I finally found the place! If you like fresh delicious food this is the place. The service is excellent, they answered all my questions and explained their menu. I created my own sandwich with some recommendations from Johnathan who was awesome. This is by far the best torta I’ve ever had! It was so good I was back a couple days later for another! Wifey ordered tacos and they were amazing as well. The flavor and freshness of the meat is what sets them apart. No old meat being served here. Definitely my go to spot for delicious fresh food!“
“I visited Antonio's today to cater for my mom's party, as she had a craving for Mediterranean cuisine. Despite it being Super Bowl Sunday and the restaurant bustling with activity, the staff graciously guided me through the catering menu. They even went above and beyond to accommodate a last-minute order, with the cook agreeing enthusiastically. Despite the rush, they ensured my order was delivered promptly. The food, as always, was superb, leaving everyone thoroughly satisfied. I opted for the special for 10 people and added an additional 10 skewers for an extra $50. A big thank you to the entire team at Antonio's for their exceptional service and delicious food.“
“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!!“

“Literally some of the best service I've received during a late work lunch. Came in and Abraham explained anything I had questions on and recommended the best pina I've had in a long time. Overall, great food and great service, definitely coming back. The food wasn't super heavy, and was very flavorful. The number 5“
“One of those great little Mexican restaurant finds in Santa Clarita. The charcoal chicken is very good, as well as the traditional sides. Recently tried the Birria tacos, quite delicious. Seek out this place, it has a lot more than chicken! Chances are you know where the Taco Bell is...Charcoal Grill Chicken is their neighbor.“
“I ordered Asada fries and let me tell you i devoured it. I normally do not eat a lot but man that ssshhhh was so bomb i finish it! Pardon my language. The Service/Workers was equally as amazing, kind, friendly, above and beyond! I definitely got more bang for my buck too because that plate was packed of Asada was packed!“
“The carne asada (beef)street tacos were really good! My husband enjoyed breakfast fare, houveros rancheros, and was quite happy. The wall menu is a bit busy, maybe difficult to follow, but look closely (especially at the separate list of taco meats)) and you will most likely find something that makes you happy.Parking: Parking on main street or in the parking structure across the street.“
“I'm so happy we found this place. Love this style of Mexican restaurants. Staff was so friendly as soon as we arrived, and I loved the look and feel of this classic style that is well kept. We had steak and shrimp fajitas, shrimp mole enchiladas, Fiesta platter and pina coladas, all so delicious! Clean, friendly staff, great service, good prices, and portions. Plenty of parking, would recommend ?!“
“We've been here a few times. The tacos are always on point. Portions are big, and they don't cheat out on the meat. We got al pastor, birria, quesataco w/ carne asada, and lengua. All were . The unit thing I didn't like was that we had to order the consume separately, which doesn't make sense when ordering any birria tacos. I got the house beer, which was pretty good... tasted similar to Modelo. The vibe was dope with tvs, bar lights/ signs, and plenty of dine in tables.“
“The food her is absolutely delicious! The prices are fair, the portions are great, and the salsas are divine! Their tortillas are hand made and everything is cooked to order. 10/10 highly recommend!Vegetarian options: Quesadillas, beans, rice, Aguas FrescasKid-friendliness: My daughter loves the quesadillas. They are always so full of cheese with the best kind of stretchy cheese.“
“After ordering here a few times I think the cooks need to learn that Mexican food is not soggy and wet. I don’t think I’ve ordered one thing from this place that didn’t fall apart on first pick up whether it tacos quesadilla burrito doesn’t matter, but I have to say the taste is good and the portion is good.“
“A very positive dining experience. The staff is awesome and the food delicious. From your first visit you're treated like an old friend. They even remembered my name after my first visit. Don't miss out, give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. “
“I was visiting Santa Clarita for 3 days. Ended coming here for two dinners and one breakfast. Food is fresh, delicious, and authentic. The service is outstanding. Great family owned restaurant. Prices are very fair for what you get. If I’m ever back in Santa Clarita this is the only place I’ll be going to eat.“
“I visited this location for the first time and was greeted with friendly service from Logan, one of the team members. The carnitas taco was so good, and the grilled chicken taco was awesome. (Worth every dollar!) Ambience felt nice. Would recommend this place to others. Will definitely be back the next time we pass by. -Oliver J. ;-)“
“I didn't know this was going to have THIS many vegan options. Half the menu is vegan & they have a separate vegan menu so it's easy. You can basically get anything and they have like 6 vegan meat options. My favorites are the Flautas, Wet Burrito, Nachos & Enchilada combo. This place needs to be talked about more lol Updated from previous review on 2024-02-11“
“I have to say, for the price that they sell their food at, and with the portion size and flavor, this place is definitely worth trying. I stopped by here on my way home once because I've never had their food before. I saw they had loaded fries and knew I had to try it. Today when I went, the place looked very clean, and the people who were sat down and eating looked very content with their food. The man who took my order was very nice. He was quick to go help back in the kitchen and help prepare/package my order and a different order as well. I didn't have to wait a very long time since the restaurant was fairly quiet. When I got home, I noticed there was a complimentary small bag of chips and pico de gallo. They were super tasty, and the pico de gallo had a little kick to it and very flavorful! The loaded fries themselves were also full of flavor, with the jalapeños on top adding a good amount of spice. I wish they would add more cheese, and I usually don't like loaded fries that have regular shredded cheese instead of the melted nacho cheese, but these were really tasty even without that! I just couldn't be mad with what I received, especially because the asada meat I got on top was also flavorful, which can be rare to find at other places that have loaded fries. Everything was really great, and I can't wait to come back here again!“
“We were a party of 6 and especially liked the Durango with chorizo, the Mole (Oaxaca) and Cochinita pibil (Yucatán). The horchata was A+ and my friend was overwhelmed by his cafe olle. The woman who waited on us might have been the owner, I am not sure, but she was so kind and clearly proud of the food here (rightfully). The atmosphere is very relaxed with an undersea theme that I thought was quirky and charming. This place is very good!“
“Great food, great service. And nice atmidphere. Even though we were in a corner booth, the waiter made sure our glasses were full and checked on us often. Food is always good here. Love the salsa! Jase always waves from the bar. It feels like the staff actually cate that you're there.Parking: Excellent!“
“Bff and I made a long drive to this place to try the seafood parrillada which includes no rice just like 6 tortillas. The food was good, the fry fish was one of the best! The restaurant is very small, inside a small plaza, parking can get hard to find. Prices vary from average $12 to $120. Complimentary chips and salsa.“
“Parking is not an issue. Staff is very kind and helpful. Prices and portions are fair. Specials available at this fast casual and cozy spot. They also have deals depending on the day with their tacos. Menu has a good variety. Free chips and a delicious salsa when you check in on Yelp.“
“Food taste home-made. The caldo de pollo, caldo de res, and burrito mojado (Wet Burrito) are my favorite. They usually have the red wet burrito but I ask for it to be custom made in green Salsa with extra cheese and sometimes carne asada with shrimp. My most favorite breakfast choice here are the: "Chilaquiles Rojos" Combo. It's really good.My husband's favorite dish is the "Bistec Talpatiqueño" Combo. It comes with macaroni salad, 2 quesadillas. Also their fresh aguas frescas are really good. They have: Melon, Sandia, Horchata, Jamaica. Some could be available. It varies on the day.The seating is good to dine in either for couples, a small family and also a bigger crowd. Service is great, friendly- family oriented. Your food is ordered Infront, if you dine-in waitress or waiter will take it to your table. They have restrooms outside behind the building.“
“Omg, we ended up at this restaurant looking for another one, it was a blessing in disguise. The food is amazing, we all had different dishes and we all loved them. The mango margarita was the bomb. Our waiter Juan was so attentive and courteous. I will be coming “
“Amazing service provided by our waitress Maria. The hostess let us sit wherever we wanted due to no traffic. Monday at 1:00pm are perfect to miss large crowds. We had bacon shrimp wraps, guacamole, bacon burger and the bbq sliders. All delicious and well made.Parking: When the parking is full head over to the in-n-out and park there. It's just a street apart.“
“Best pupusas in San Fernando valley ! I love their food very tasty and the service is amazing, I can eat their pupusas every single day and will never get tired, plus they treat you as a family I always feel very welcome, the restaurant is always clean. I recommend it 100% .Parking: Always parking available“
“The pollo asado combo is sooo good. The best taste! Perfectly seasoned, moisty and has that smoked taste but not overwhelming. It comes with tortillas, beans, rice, salsas, and your whole chicken. They will cut it for you. Remember to ask for plates, forks and napkins to go, if you need them. They will attend to you very well. It's a small grocery market and restaurant combined. If you're in the mood to BBQ you'll find great quality meats there too.“
“I like this restant,I've been coming here for a very long time and always enjoyed this place,it is family owned and the employees are very very good people,friendly and polite. They also have a little grocery section inside,with dry goods,meat market with butcher and produce section. I only wish they would update the place just a little,but overall I'd give it a 8 out of 10 stars.Oh,I almost forgot,they did add onto the restaurant,with more seating under a covering which was nice.Parking: Very crowded and small,due to other business' in that shopping center, but can park on street for free after the meters are off at night“
“My family and I love coming to eat here. This is our go-to place for dinner or lunch. There are lots of healthy dishes and they all taste great. The staff here are wonderful! Marilyn, Alex, Mary, and Mario are all so nice. They are very friendly and always have a smile on their face. They know our menu favorites by heart :)) The place is always kept clean and it is an absolute joy to either dine in or take out!“
“Consistently amazing. The portions are huge and the food is out of this world! Service is quick and the location is very nice with relaxing ambiance. Taqueria La Plebe is my go-to spot when I'm craving authentic and delicious mexican food.“
“A quintessential Chipotle restaurant. Love it. My only pet peeve is, they run out of fajitas often - so often that it doesn’t seem random. More of an issue with the facility management not having enough resources to prepare fajitas freshly. I think the manager needs to talk to senior management to get more resources but compromising on quality isn’t acceptable - especially for a brand like Chipotle.“
