23 Best Mexican Restaurants in Thousand Oaks

“The Cliff Diver Restaurant and Bar is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, and the owner clearly takes pride in offering an amazing drink selection every cocktail we tried was top-notch. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. A special shoutout to our server, Josh, who went above and beyond with his service — super knowledgeable, personable, and made great recommendations. Definitely one of the best dining experiences around. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Para el dueño: Cual es su regla de regreso cuando se vende un producto que está echado a perder? El Viernes 10/21 compramos comida como muchas veces ya que somos clientes desde hace 4 años. Uno de los productos fue una jaiba imitación, la pedimos en la carnicería y no la dieron en una bolsa, al llegar a casa nos dimos cuenta que estaba echada a perder, no pensamos que fuera un problema, nunca nos había pasado y este producto no es de su tienda solo lo revenden. Hablamos a la tienda y les informamos de lo qué pasó, la joven nos dijo que lo lleváramos para de nos devolvieran el dinero. La tienda cierra a las 8 y no pudimos. Al siguiente día fuimos y la joven que estaba según ella de manager, se porto súper grosera, nos gritó que porque no nos habíamos fijado en la fecha de caducidad, que porque nos habíamos esperado hasta el siguiente día y después nos aventó el dinero y nos dijo que nos fuéramos. Esta actitud es inaceptable, dudo que el dueño quiera sepa o esté de acuerdo con la actitud de esta mujer. No volveremos a esta tienda y haremos todo lo posible para que le gente sepa de esto y ya no compren aquí.“

“Small mom and pop type of establishment which delivers on those burrito/taco cravings. Reasonably priced and you also get a good amount of food. Good guac and homemade chips. The handmade tortillas are killer and definitely add to the quality of the taste. More of a casual experience or pick up. There is indoor seating though its somewhat limited. They do have a salsa bar with 3 different types of salsa as well as onions, cilantro, limes, pickled onions/veg., etc...“

“Brought a group of 12 in last night. The service was excellent!! We all loved our food. Our waitress was perfect. We hardly had to ask for anything. She even split up our checks. We'll be back!! Highly recommend!“

“Joe & his staff were amazing! Very kind, welcoming, and attentive. Amazing service and amazing food. The food was delicious. The rice was one of the best rice I ever had. Very authentic Mexican food. Definitely will be going back for more. Best Mexican food in TO and very good customer service!“

“The chips and salsa hit the spot! If you're in the mood for drinks, this place is a solid choice—especially during happy hour. The food is tasty, though it wouldn’t make my personal top ten. That said, if you're after a lively sports bar vibe with good eats and great drinks, this is definitely the place to be“

“I’ve been going to this place since I was in high school and that was over 10 years ago. I’m happy they are still in business and going strong. The nachos are always a classic and a favorite of mine. Additionally the salads are good too. Yesterday I tried the 3 amigos burrito with my beans on the side and I added pico. It was delicious. It has peppers, carnitas, guacamole, rice and beans. The flavor of the pork was so good and the burrito had good proportion and filling ratios. My fiance got the same thing but with steak and “enchilada” style which comes wet . We both devoured about half and saved half for later. We will definitely be back !“

“Absolutely beautiful restaurant! The atmosphere immediately transports you to a festive Mexican scene. Happy hour at the bar was perfect-expertly made cocktails and visually appealing food with great flavor. A minor note: chips and dip are an à la carte order, not complimentary.

“What to do when SoCal becomes SoBoring? Been going off and on to Southern California that I think I wore out my curiosity of the place. If you live in SoCal, what do they do for a break?In Toronto, if you get bored and want a weekend of craziness, you head to Montreal. If you want peace and quiet, you head north. Well San Fran is 5 hours away and a change of pace and weather would be good right? I'm packed up in the car already and my SoCal friend is available to make the trip. Cool! It's an expedition - like Miner'49'ers!“

“I love Cafe Rio. I came to the Thousand Oaks location on Moorpark Road. There food is great and better than Chipotle. The staff is very kind and professional. My only issue is that the mens restroom was disgusting. It looks like they haven't cleaned the restroom in over a week. Also the outside tables were disgusting as well. Trash, food, under the tables which of course attracts flies and bugs.“

“Great chill Place great food“

“We are from LA where arguably the best Mexican food is in the state and let me tell you this place is TOP TIER.
If you’re looking for fresh tacos with the authentic MX taste fresh prepared THIS is it.

Every meat I tasted (my husband got carnitas, pastor, and carne asada) was super fresh, seasoned perfectly, tender, chips were fresh, fresh lemons, not limes (another sign of authenticity imo, iykyk).

The salsas had authentic spice levels, everything.

10/10 for a solid taquero joint. Forget EPL or any other fast food place.

My husband got 5 HUGE tacos for $15!

straight fire, end of rant haha.“

“Always love the double salad.Great customer service and clean lobby.“

“Someone recommended this place, and they weren’t wrong. The bakery itself is very good, tried their pan con chicharrón and that was amazing. They have plenty of food options even at early hours. Their bread was very delicious as well. Plenty of parking, very friendly staff.“
