“Delish“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“The food was delicious and heartwarming, just like a home-cooked meal. The atmosphere was simple, clean, and unpretentious, which added to its charm. It's a true family-run business, and you can feel the joy and humility in their service. We truly felt welcomed and appreciated. We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu!“

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

“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! 💕“

“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!! 😁😉😊“

“I was introduced to this restaurant and I was so pleasantly surprised. I usually eat out and the food/experience is average, but this place surpassed all expectations. Our server Tomas was amazing! He was so kind, attentive, and patient. He definitely made the experience even better. The food, I have no words. We ordered a few different dishes. The food was delicious and the quality of the food was excellent. People typically think tacos when you see a Mexican spot, but this restaurant really introduces you to the diversity of authentic Mexican cuisine. I loved the variety and the affordability of the dishes. I will definitely be recommending this spot and will definitely be back again.“

“Good food reasonable prices“

“Absolutely best pupusas around!. When I have a craving this is my go to spot. They make them fresh and the slaw that goes on top is one of my favorites. The service Is a little slow maybe language barrier and the place is a little dingy and could use an update but the food is the star of the show here and my family loves this place too“

“Food and service fresh and fabulous and dog friendly 🐾🥳🐾“

“I had a carnitas burrito. It was kind of hard to order cuz thier menu doesn't include plain rice and meat burrito. They found it hard to understand that all I wanted was the pork, then some rice and finally sour cream wrapped up in a tortilla. I told her I'd add the salsa myself as I ate it. Once she found away to take my order everything was fine. They seem to think they need to reinvent the burrito...if they made it my way they wouldnt know handle the amount of business they'd get.. but not my problem. Till then the carnitas was awesome and I really enjoyed my burrito..“

“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.“

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

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

“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. :)“

“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😊“

“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“

“Comida muy rica el servico muy bien“

“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!“

“It's the best place ever . I love it . Mmhhhmmmm oh yeah“

“I eat at Del Taco once in a while. Great food and prices even as inflation is going up. I use the app and coupons for deals. The atmosphere is usually quiet, as I show up mostly at night. Furthermore, the place is clean, and the customer service is excellent. Probably my only real complaint, is it's cold to sit there, even when the outside temperature is cold. I know it's because the kitchen is hot and if there were no fans and AC, the restaurant would be too warm and humid to eat inside. I'll continue to buy my Del Taco food from this location.“

“I stopped by this Taco Bell this morning to take advantage of the Baja Blast anniversary so they were giving it any Baja Blast drink if you order from the app. I also decided to get a cinnamon twist since I was already coming here to get a drink. I got the Baja Blast Freeze and set the pickup time as ASAP since my work office is nearby. I found parking easily because I don't think anyone was here. When I walked inside, they already had my order on the pickup counter, which I don't think it's safe since anyone can just take your food. The indoor dining seem pretty good inside and they also have outdoor dining table as well. My Baja blast freeze was delicious and the cinnamon twist was good.

Vegetarian options: I would not recommend coming here for vegetarian food.

Parking: There plenty of parking here.

Kid-friendliness: This place is kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: This place is wheelchair accessible“
