“Great food and service. Walked right in and was seated. My son ordered a burrito and I ordered the steak fajitas. The burrito was ginormous, he couldn't finish it. The fajitas were delicious. The steak was perfection! Definitely will stop by again! Hidden gem for sure!“

“Excellent service, great food. They have the best chile verde I've ever had. Corn burritos are bomb, too. You can't go wrong here.“

“Mejor comida de santa paula .rico molcajetes....lo recomiendo al 100...chulada“

“La Casita Mexican Grill has been one of those go-to spots for my family for years since we live close by, and it never disappoints. It’s the kind of place that feels familiar every time you walk in, with great food and a welcoming atmosphere.

My personal favorite is the asada tacos—they’re always packed with flavor, cooked perfectly, and consistently hit the spot. You can really taste the quality in every bite.

It’s a place we keep coming back to, whether it’s a quick meal or just craving something we know will be good every time. Definitely a local favorite I’d recommend to anyone nearby!“

“the best in SP! 🌮🌮🌮🌮 🥑🍹🌮“

“Stopped by Cochina 1912 in Santa Paula for the first time and this place has a great vibe. Right on Main Street in a historic building from 1912, you can feel that old-school charm with the exposed red brick and clean, cool interior.

Ordered a big bowl of posole — seriously a huge portion and packed with flavor. Couldn’t even finish it, but it was on point. The chips and salsa were solid, and they’ve got a whole lineup of hot sauces. Tried them all — mild, medium, hot, extra hot — and honestly the mild ended up being my favorite. Still full of flavor without overpowering everything else.

Downtown Santa Paula keeps getting better with spots like this popping up. Definitely a chill place to hang out and grab a good meal. I’ll be back.

Local love approved — this place rocks.DC Rock & Soil delivering rock, sand, gravel, and road base to Santa Paula and all of Ventura County. Give us a call — we’re here to help.“

“The tastiest tacos in the 805 area ‼️ I ordered 5 pastor tacos & 1 quesadilla with carne asada and the meat had amazing flavors! The service was fast & easy and the people inside were very friendly. The food just hits the spot everytime & I recommend this place 10/10 ?“

“Great fresh Mexican food. I highly recommend this restaurant. One of my favorite spots to go for some authentic food.“

“I am the only Real Juan to review on this food ( The rest of the people who did a bad review js doesn’t have good taste buds and prefer McDonalds) I have tried a lot of tortas from LA from food trucks in Oxnard and Ventura and this torta from this specific food truck in Santa Paula is delicious (asada,x2avocado,cheese and lettuce ) u can taste all the tiny details inside the torta even their green sauce/salsa verde is amazing, This food truck has potential and with my big back (🍽️🫃)I will make this food truck a Restaurant
(Por los Mexicanos que no entienden esto ,lo que dijo es que la comida está bien buenísima👌)😮‍💨🤤“

“Legit street tacos. Authentic flavor for barbacoa, cabeza, and lengua tacos. I ordered the babacoa plate to go and the rice and beans tasted just like my mom makes. The barbacoa was savory, herb-y, and tender. They were selling these big avocados at the counter for only a dollar, I bought one and they offered to slice it up to add to the tacos I ordered to eat in. Warm and welcoming owners. Great food.

Parking: Small parking lot next to the restaurant, plenty of street parking.“

“First time there and ordered a dozen pork tamales along with various panduce. The tamales are all filled with generous portions of meet and fresh. Highly recommend❤️“

“Reviews looked good and was not disappointed. I had the Carnitas, which were tasty, and my son had enchiladas, he claimed were very good. The House Margarita was a pleaser, served in a bowl shaped glass. The service was excellent. We were slow to order but our waitress was patient. She didn’t “disappear” when we “needed another minute.” She continued to check on us after to see how we were doing. We were just visiting but I look forward to coming back here again when I’m in the area.“

“Food was good I love their salsa We had a very sweet waiter It was a nice evening celebrating my daughter’s birthday 🎂🍀⭐️💕“

“la comida deliciosa mi burrito de pollo con chipotle muy rico😋“

“10/08/2023... worst experience for breakfast. Food was bad, customer service was worse but even more terrible was the attitude given by the manager and waitress. Absolutely no F's were given. Waited over 30 minutes only to be told they were out of the menudo... on a Sunday at noon.“

“I agree..this place is a hidden gem in Santa Paula : ))) My partner kindly planned a weekend trip to Santa Paula to celebrate my birthday and said I could pick a place for a meal. I felt drawn to all the reviews people wrote about Tacos El Torazo, and we decided to have an early evening pre-birthday dinner. I am so, so happy we got to go there while we were in Santa Paula. We now know where to go for a wonderful Mexican food when we are in town! Everything we ate was exquisite, and we felt so at home thanks to the friendly and heartfelt service. The food was so good that it was all gone before I remembered to take some pictures of the food..gives us a good excuse to go back there!“

“Best pan Dulce in Santa Barbara customer service Very Friendly 😀 Visiting from LA“

So piping hot and fresh and perfectly made! The store is so clean and the staff is kind and enthusiastic. With beaming smiles. My personal treat was the crushed ice!! I love this ice so much. It's like snow cone ice!! Thank you for the delicious lunch EVERY TIME I come in. I'm coming here for my birthday guys!! 🤣🙏😁🫶“
