50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Santa Clarita

“This is my second time here and this place is consistent. Best taco spot in town hands down! You have to come in for taco Tuesday for the special. Plenty of indoor seating and the staff is extremely friendly. Best part they are not stingy, unlimited salsa, chips and other toppings. So if you don’t know what to make for dinner swing by here. The family will love it. Also try their aguas frescas, tried the cucumber one to die for!“

“Best place ever to get food“

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

“The food is awesome and the staff are so nice. prices are better then fast food and you don't have to do dishes!“

“Wow. I saw someone's review with pictures of the food and had to stop.

At first I walked in and was underwhelmed by the atmosphere. No decorations or board menu.

My family and I ordered.
2 burritos ; breakfast burrito and a fish and shrimp burrito.
1 pastor tacos with birria on top.

There is a salsa bar and it is bomb! As a Mexican who grew up with home-cooked meals, I can say that the salsa was above par compared to the places in the area.
As for the food. I don't think I have been my family devour their burritos so fast. Thwu were so good they didn't put them down. Plus the sizes are enormous! 1 burrito is definetely share worthy.
I got the nachos and it was the same great quantity. Shareable. Very delicious. These are not typical American melted cheese type of nachos. They are Mexican nachos with pico de gallo, frijoles, guacamole. Very good. I had to take mine home
I'm excited to come back again and try the seafood menu.

Kid friendly, wheelchair accessible, bathroom on premises.
Staff speaks bilingual!

Sorry for the lack of picks. We got the food and starting eating !“

“exelente servicio, muy rika la comida“

“On my down time from fighting the Route Fire me and the crew came out to eat to El Pariente. The food and service here is fantastic! El Pariente is family owned and the hospitality is authentic. This business supports Firefighters and I appreciate Rebecca and Miguels support. My dearest appreciation am gratitude ?“

“Best street corn, hands down! Don’t hate on the fact that this place is in the same building as a Circle K! So delish and worth a try!!!“

“I'm a Foodie.
I eat out more than usual.
Because I'm always on the go.
Anyhow I have tried a few restaurants in the area. Some I can't even offer a review. I NEVER give 5 Stars.
But on 07/14/2026. I had the best experience. Fresh beans not from the can my shrimps and vegetables speak for themselves! Adding picture.
And on Tuesday they have lower taco prices.“

“First experience today. Fantastic menu. Food was fast and fabulous. Best Mexican restaurant in Santa Clarita. Suprise excellence!“

“buena atención, rica comida, cien por cierto recomendable“

“todo esta delicioso y y tienen un buen servicio 👌“

“One of the best places to eat Mexican food and best of all.. tortillas are hand made 👌👌“

“La comida esta deliciosa. El menudo bien recommendado“

“With so many options for carne asada out there, when one stands out like the one at Fiesta Grill, it's worth reviewing. Oh my goodness...the perfect sized pieces, the perfect texture, the unbelievably delicious smoky flavor that rides on in a perfect aftertaste. I have been converted into a Fiesta Grill loyalist. Viva Fiesta Grill!“

“hi guys it's me Belinda you have a great margaritas and food“

“My husband has tried the albondigas soup and he actually liked them, but we mostly eat the asada torta at this restaurant. Without salsa roja though, instead I always request salsa verde. Somehow, their mayo makes it great in my opinion.
Finally something new for me and very convenient is the drinking water refill station. I noticed the price is .35¢ per gallon.“

“Food is legit! Delicious and a great lunch while waiting for the car to be washed 😁“

“I have had nothing but good experiences dealing with Pico. Rico, they're toastatta salad takes me back to my youth. I absolutely delicious their hardship tacos with shredded beef. I definitely recommend those
I haven't explored everything on their menu but give me time. The staff had beautiful smiles spoke when we came in and weighed. Goodbye. Was the smile as we left with our food
I look forward to eat in there soon“

“Agradezco su atenciòn....Mario excelente ...sin embargo la carne helada, el cuchillo sin filo.....agradezco haberme dado credito pero para un lugar tan bonito....no volverìa..espero logren mejorar....del 1 al 10 les doy 4“

“Las Delicias provides a standard array of Mexican food and has solidified itself as a goto for grab and go meals. Their carne asada is solid, but the Al pastor torta is a must try with a lot of flavor.

Of note, their salsas go great with the bulk of their items and have a range of spice levels. My particular favorite is their creamy green salsa which has a moderate amount of spice (if you’re not sensitive to spicy food)

The atmosphere is what you’d expect from a Mexican restaurant that’s less focused on the dining in experience.“

“If you are looking to enjoy a great dinner with your family and friends I recommend you to visit this restaurant. It was my husband and kids first time at this place and we left definitely satisfied with everything from the beginning to end. Great service from management and staff. Great environment. Food was delicious that even my youngest child finished all her food. Definitely going back. Oh and by the way that Albóndiga Soup was the best ? couldn’t leave without trying Dessert ? Thank you at La Cocina Bar and Grill on Bouquet Canyon Rd. for your great service! ?“

“good food and fast service!!👌“

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

“Great place, friendly service, delicious tasty food!“

“THE CHILAQUILES WERE OK EGGS WERE OVER COOKED, OVERALL I'LL GIVE SOMETHING ELSE ON THE MENU A TRY“

“I chose Tacos Los Toritos at random and walked away a fan of their Tacos and salsas. Now, sure, they may not have an open salsa bar but I highly recommend this restaurant on the salsas alone. They were unlike anything I've tried before, the right amount of acidity with the right amount of spice.
Go try them!“

“This locations food and service is amazing. The people are always cool and really nice. The food is delicious and worth the price, meaning the portions are large. I consistently crave their carne asada fries, thats my favorite. Would definitely recommend!“

“amazing Forearm size burritos“

“Date of Visit: 1/17/25
This is a little gem, it is a perfect restaurant for the area. Food was delicious, authentic and atmosphere was comfortable. The service was kind and gracious. Stop and give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Pros: great food, good service and decent prices
Cons: parking can be challenging

Parking: Restaurant located in a shopping area and parking is abundant but not necessarily close to the restaurant.“

“Phenomenal school. In this rare case, you don’t get what you pay for. Better professors than IVY league schools for 1% of the tuition. Valencia campus much bigger than Canyon Country. Great services such as mental health services. Library and TLC are good. Skilled football team. Great school, thank you for making Santa Clarita even better.“

“The food here is so good, the Carne asada nachos dogg👌 are my ish. I have tried other things & they are good but the nachos are on another level. I have been coming here since I was a teenager & I am 28 & I still come here. I have alot of memories here & I will be a continuing customer. The atmosphere could be better but Idc tbh. Also, It's Cash only! & No public restrooms.“

“Yo en lo personal nunca lo he visitado pero todas las personas que lo han visto habla muy bien de él dice que su comida está muy preciosa y sus bebidas también son bien deliciosas yo tendré que ir para yo saber si es verdad lo que dicen del restaurante restaurante se ve muy bien nunca he tenido la oportunidad de visitarlo👍“

“Food here was pretty good for the price! We loved the fajita wrap and veggie burrito. But the star of the show are the margaritas. I mean seriously , this must be 3 margaritas for the price of one.. and on top of that, KC is hilarious and gave us amazing service.“

“I had tacos to try various meats. Carnitas, pastor, lengua and buche. They were all very good. But I can't wait to try their carnitas burrito. Everyone one was friendly and welcoming. (Danny, Francisco and Desiree). I also went back to get asada quesadillas for my wife and son. And a carnitas taco and a side of rice. My wife and son loved them!“

“This is by far the best Mexican food in SCV! The food is always fresh, handmade, not greasy and very delicious(no matter what you order). I love the BUCHE burrito which I don't eat just anywhere, unless I know its a clean establishment. I'm extremely picky about this meat in particular but when cooked right; Buche is the ? My other favorites include Bistec con Papas: Steak & potatoes in sauce served with rice & beans and the chiles rellenos ? Any kind of tacos or gorditas and tortas are yummy too & you can't forget about their homemade drinks/ aguas frescas. I'd recommend everything from here...I guarantee you won't be disappointed! The staff is also amazing, kind and give great customer service ? you've got to check this place out. It's a Santa Clarita staple with humble roots and delicious Mexican food? ???“

“The staff were very polite and the food was delivered quite quickly. The food itself was surprisingly cheap compared to other restaurants and the quality of the food was just wonderful. I also really enjoyed the decorations and the music. All around it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend checking this place out.“

“So delicious and very friendly staff!“

“For my first time there I tried the #4 combination plate with two beef enchiladas and double beans (both black and pintos to try the duo instead of the rice). Everything was EXCELLENT! For one thing they don't use ground beef and their beef enchiladas they use a nice cut of shredded beef that is incredibly tasty without even leaning on the cheese and the sauce for flavor. I also decided to have on the side a taco suave of beef, which was also very well cooked, savory and tender. The meal comes with a nice basket of chips which is great to have with they're very abundant salsa bar! Their Pico de Gallo had just enough Pico, and their Salsa Iguana had a nice kick without punting your esophagus into the burn zone. I can't say enough marvelous things about this Mom and Pop local restaurant in Santa Clarita! I'll DEFINITELY be back to partake in even more!“

“Food was good and customizable, can get any kind with any kind of meat, lots of easy to order numbered entrees on the board too. Place is beautiful with a view of the classic main street look, can walk around, art everywhere inside. A nice little salsa bar too. Only thing that could make this place better would be table service.“

“Food was deliciously authentic.
Service took an extra 20 minutes than expected. I did not seem to be the only one experiencing this. It has occurred twice. Looks like they are still working on the decor side of things. I still order often - I just make sure to add extra time to my actual pick up.“

“We are pretty fond of the tamales here. Try them. Sometimes this place is very busy. P.S. To the gentleman who blamed our U.S. president for the pricing, here, I can only respond: when I eat a tamale, the last thing on my mind is politics. I like the chicken and the beef tamales!...and democracy!“

“I had tacos to try various meats. Carnitas, pastor, lengua and buche. They were all very good. But I can't wait to try their carnitas burrito. Everyone one was friendly and welcoming. (Danny, Francisco and Desiree). I also went back to get asada quesadillas for my wife and son. And a carnitas taco and a side of rice. My wife and son loved them!“

“well I thought that I could be being paranoid of whatever I ordered to eat from here being poisoned of some sort of bad thing or another , so when I received my food and found it to not be tampered with in any way I was naturally happy knowing my food was not poisoned is a big thing for a guy like myself so I am giving this del taco a solid five star rating....“

“Good service and clean bathrooms! I can't stand a dirty bathroom. 2 thumbs up! Food was delicious also!“

“Very delicious pupusas! I especially enjoyed the chicharron & cheese and the jalapeno & cheese. Flavor is wonderful especially with a little of the pickled cabbage and salsa on top!
I also tried the Atol de Elote, which is a sweet corn drink, and loved it!
The service was also fantastic! The gentleman who helped me with my order was very kind and very informative about the menu
Would go back in a heartbeat!“

“This is our favorite Chiplote location by far! My family and I come here often and have always had a great experience. Jessica the GM is absolutely amazing, extremely kind and rolls the best burrito you've ever had. Highly recommended!“

“Friendly staff and the manager Kathy super nice and professional!“

“Highly Recommend this place. Clean and cozy environment.“

“Pretty good. Not gonna lie!“
