50 Best Mexican Restaurants near West Hills

“Experience Cafe Rio for yourself!! If you haven't been to Cafe Rio yet you definitely need to come. The service was exquisite. Friendly & knowledgeable staff who know how to recommend a good dish. As soon as I arrived the staff asked if it was my first time there & they did a welcome song. Which was very unexpected but welcoming. I had their Pork Barbacoa (Barbacoa de puerco) as it's their most famous & specialty as per the staff. I requested it be prepared to their liking & these were the results. I want to thank their best, Jenny, who I believe she mentioned she was Puerto Rican. She is both charismatic & knowledgeable in her craft. She also shared information on the other available locations around the states in case I crave some Cafe Rio outside CA. All in all, the service, the food & the atmosphere earned a 5 star from me. Great place to visit. To finish it off they had a great selection of fresh waters. I went with the Mango Lemonade but you can find the photos posted with this review. I recommend you venture for yourself & post your own personal experience!

Prices are included in the photos but in my opinion they are fair & worth the flavor.

Parking is located in a lot so great selection of parking.

Bathrooms were clean from my experience & have a number lock which can be provided at their counter.

Not a large area so seating is limited. Luckily I got mine to go & the place wasn't packed when I arrived so it was a swift transaction in my day.

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian selections available.

Parking: It's a wide parking lot located to various stores in a plaza so no need to worry about parking at all. There will be a spot somewhere if not right away.“

“I LOVE this place. There's not much in the way of "atmosphere" as it's a drive thru or walk up window with a seating area a short walk away. BUT none of that matters. The food is outrageously good and the service is quick!“

“Best taco Tuesday ever!!!!“

“the new tostada with queso and corn“

“Bartender Anna And waiters …Danny and Timmy plus others are excellent“

“Delish“

“Excellent food, nicest people! ☀️“

“We have been ordering 805 since they were slanging tacos from the curb! So we already knew the quality we would be getting. This was our first time hiring them for catering. Per usually the quality didn't disappoint. Our server Jorvin was excellent. So sweet. Busted his butt in HOT weather and didn't skip a beat. (We tried to take care of him with shade/ice water and a fan.) He accommodated a couple of guests with dietary restrictions as well as hooked the kiddos up! Ironically our 3 year old, who's typically the shy kid who speaks to nobody, was Jorvin's BFF!! Kid spent more time at the table with Jorvin than anyone else! Also, kid was a BIG fan of the Jamaica!! Thank you again 805 for killing it once again.“

“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“

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

“I just moved to the area and I saw this little spot. I have lived in the valley for 30+ years and was very disappointed with the choices of Mexican food well I'm so happy I found this place. 30 years in the valley and I just found this place. I will definitely be going back again and again. The gentlemen running and cooking were so nice and on it.“

“Amazing food! Made to order, clean and beautiful dining area, excellent customer service. Tacos Al pastor, tacos de chicharrón, gorditas Xochipilli, chilaquiles, a few of my favorites. The best spot in the valley for authentic Mexican food.“

“I’ve been to plata a couple times before and it’s always been really good! We all started with margaritas- I got one with muddled strawberries and mint. The flavor was very light and refreshing. I also got the short rib enchiladas that came with a red sauce and a side of cheesey cauliflower. The red sauce was actually a little spicier than anticipated but still really good. The green rice was a nice pairing with it. My aunt got the chicken enchiladas with green sauce which is always a classic. My brother got the burrito which was delicious and very big- he only ate half and took the rest home. I don’t know what it was called on the menu but my dad got some sort of steak which was smothered in cheese and other toppings served with rice and beans- very good!! Lastly my brothers fiance got the ceviche and chile relleno. She ate all the ceviche so I’m assuming it was delicious and is served with a tostada tortilla on the bottom. The chili relleno was good too. Very good portion sizes ! The service was good as well and the chips and salsa are delicious we couldn’t get enough!“

“😋 their sopas a very delicious….“

“We are visiting here from Arizona and stopped here from a recommendation from a co worker that lives in Simi Valley.

I Highly recommended estlio Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico. Home made food they have been here for 34 years. The staff is very friendly we will definitely be back soon.“

There Caldo de Rez is very good anytime of day.They also are a Grocery market that carry fresh produce and authentic Mexican products from mexico.Staff is very friendly and provide fast service .I Highly Recommend EL RANCHERITO to anyone looking for a great Mexican meal at anytime of day .

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair friendly establishment“

“Best authentic Sri Lankan food I've come across in US. They serve a variety of Sri Lankan specialties including regular home-style rice & curries, lamprais, kottu & Sri Lankan short-eats. Huge portions for the price we pay. Looking forward to trying their Mexican food as well. Heard their Mexican food is so authentic & tastes great!“

“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.“

“Our favorite place to go, great food, drinks and excellent service.“

“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“

“Food is great and super fast and friendly service 10 out of 10 👍🏼👍🏼“

“I arrived at this restaurant because I saw that they serve Peruvian food, however I tried their carnitas burrito and fish taco, It was delicious, I look forward to try their Peruvian food in the future, friendly people, bendiciones y gracias“

“we have been going to this restaurant for a long time. we love their food But we noticed that they changed the portion size! We understand that everything is getting expensive but they made portion size way little. I ordered vegetarian quesadilla and always ordered and my husband ordered torta and both orders came out too small!! they barely put vegetables inside so we really did not like it!“

“Happy Hour is a great time to experience this place! Delicious items on the Happy Hour menu, of course you can order from regular menu as well. Mix and match! We love the Ceviche and Carnitas tacos. Shot of Tequila and a Modelo hit the spot. Friendly people and atmosphere.“

“I started eating at Campos in the 1980's in Santa Monica. I was delighted to find one in Simi Valley when I moved my family here. The food has been consistently delicious for 40 years! Ground beef hard shell tacos, the "panzon" burritos (enchilada style) and Chile relleno are some of my families favorites. And don't forget plenty of salsa, which is arguably the best in the world.“

“Our new favorite little whole in the wall place for authentic Mexican food! Their chili rellano is amazing also, their breakfasts are really good. Their combo plates are so good! Prices are reasonable and we eat there now about once a week. The owner is so nice and he always has a joke or two.“

“the place are so good food and service the best l love this place Plus the taco Tuesday are really good came end try“

“Great, creative menu and very personal focused service. Jose and his team are amazing“

“Its a nise place to satisfy you since nice exlent food that you will enjoy i recomend every body to try it“

“Always a great time! Great staff, fun vibes and when ever we land here for a quick drink to hours long hangs. The memories we leave with are always the best of times! We are so lucky to have such a cool local spot so close to home! Thanks team Sagebrush and Cheryl for all the great times!“

“Best Mexican food in Simi Valley. Great little family operation. Their breakfast is probably the best thing they do. Best breakfast burrito, and huevos rancheros I’ve ever had. Their rice and beans are excellent. Love their burritos, shrimp tostadas, shrimp tacos, and tacos durados with el pastor. Hector and his wife always make you feel so welcome. Highly recommend and I’m a very tough critic. Have worked in restaurants for 16 years.“

““I tried the mojado-style burrito, and let me tell you—it was absolutely amazing! The burrito was huge, the sauce was delicious, and the salsa was super tasty. I highly recommend it, 1000%! Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.”

How does that sound?“

“Como mexicana y conocedora de la BUENA comida mexicana, este restaurante esta delicioso su sazon su staff es increiblemente amable, su decoracion es muy bonita y super limpio todo. Altamente recomendado. Saludos desde el Paso Tx. 🥰“

“las redes sociales tienen un potencial enorme...quise venir a disfrutar quizas parte de comida tijuanense...es una lastima que empleadas como esta echen a perder todo...pedí 3 tacos y una coca...y no me puso la coca en la orden...me hizo esperar el tiempo que quiso para darme mi cambio...mientras esperaba vi como le hizo mal otra orden a un señor con discapacidades...y argumentaba que no podía cambiar la orden hasta que viniera un manager...y no somos perfectos..lo se..pero la actitud es muy importante...al estar apoyando al sr en silla de ruedas...ella volteo hacia a mi y me dijo que no me metiera donde no me llaman..total..me voy decepcionado“

“Go! The tortillas are actually hand made, the asada is flavorful (not that unseasoned stuff down the street) and the tacos are very filling. I ordered extra tortillas and they forgot to put them in our bag, the lady ran out to bring it us in our car and gave us extra tortillas! Customer service like this is rare. Give this a try it will not disappoint!“

“Nice ambiance . Good consistent food and a safe location to go out at night.“

“Went on a Sunday for lunch wasn't expecting a brunch menu but wasn't disappointed once we got our food. I was drawn in by their regular menu but they didn't serve any of these dishes when they serve brunch. But I guess it gives me another reason to go back to try other food.

For the brunch, my favs were the churro French toast and the queso birria con huevos, Churro French toast had three full slices not too sweet but sweet enough and the queso birria was so delicious especially when you dip it on the consome. They have a full bar and had bottomless mimosas as well as flight. Loved the vibe. They had a DJ playing the jams. Not sure if this is just a Sunday thing but would definitely go back to listen to good music, watch games and of course eat and drink. Service was very attentive and prompt. We didn't have a reservation but there were able to move a table around so we didn't have to wait long.

There was valet parking if you can't find street parking.“

“rico todo y excelente atencion“

“This is a nice Mexican food spot, I really enjoyed the tacos that I ordered and my wife liked her taco and quesadilla plate. There is a nice selection at the salsa bar and the staff was extremely nice and helpful. I'll definitely be back.

Parking: It is in a large lot that has tons of parking, but it can become crowded around lunch time.“

“The food is always good, and the red salsa has a kick. They have a self-serve salsa bar and a couple of tables for eating inside, although I always order to go. If you order a burrito and don't like spice, remember to ask for NO salsa and double check. I don't mind it, but my husband can't handle it and couldn't even eat his burrito. The staff realized they made a mistake and remade his burrito, which is 10 stars for customer service. We have this place at least 2 times a month and it hasn't let us down yet.“

“I recently tried the carne asada huarache, and it was delicious. I also enjoyed the warm chips and salsa which were excellent. The restaurant has a small dining area that can fill up quickly! I highly recommend trying this dish .

Parking: This is a multiple business parking lot.“

“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!! 😁😉😊“

“Joe Biden sucks here too!“

“I was recommended there by Jillian Barberie from Good Day L.A. It was my 1st time there & it did not disappoint at all. Valet parking. Quick prompt service, waitress was attentive and food was spot on! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Very good buritto, server and the crew are very kind. 5/5 ❤️❤️❤️“

“I have been going to the Tortilla Inn since 1970 along with my closest friends to this day. We loved it then and we love it now. Betty is just delightful and we love Juan, too. Great food and atmosphere. Take your wife for a romantic dinner and request the corner booth. 💞“
