“identical meals from tierra caliente“

“The shrimp burrito supreme is the best...the service is great they are very welcoming and they accommodate to your liking and needs. Recommend this place any day of the week weather it's you and your gf or the fam bam it's all good.“

“So i’ll be the one to say it. This place is absolutely delicious.
The scenery, beautiful. The service; I tend to be a person who doesn’t ever look the most cleaned up—when i’ve gone to sizzler, ihop, places of that sort i’ve been treated as lesser, dismissed, given burned food, etc. Today, at this location I felt human for once. Wonderful service. Cleanliness? My goodness, this place is SPOTLESS. And the food? I cleaned my plate, and finished my horchata. The low review about a stupid policy, online ordering, are just entitled people who didn’t get their way and want something to complain about. It’s a shame because this place is genuinely so good, and many people will overlook it because of a couple reviews from people wanting to spread their bad day to a business. Please give this place a chance. It should be packed everyday. I have literally no complaints. 10/10 across the board.“

The food was not only delicious but also incredibly flavorful, and the atmosphere was simply stunning—inviting, elegant, and perfectly suited for a memorable evening. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed every moment. This was an experience to remember, and we’re already looking forward to coming back soon!“

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!“

“😋 their sopas a very delicious….“

“I like this stand very much and that's what it is stand. But the business is right behind it making hundreds of tamales. They have a good variety that are well stuffed. Not like some of the street vendors that you don't know which ones are the ones with mostly maza very lil meat. Besides that they're pretty big very moist with salsa included. Red or green depending on your hot tolerance. Hmmm good imma go get me some!!!!“

If you're in the Los Angeles area, the Van Nuys location also has good ratings, with customers praising its fish tacos and friendly service. Would you like more details on the menu or customer experiences?“

“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“

“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!“

“Hidden taco spot that has been here for YEARS!! I had an asada burrito and my brothe in law had al pastor. Both had great flavor! Gave us chips when we sat down. Free refills for the Large horchata. They have a small salsa bar with everything you need. Limited seating but worth it. Give it a try! Will definitely be coming here when in the area!“

“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.“

“Muy rica comida excelente servicio, muy amables todos 🥰“

“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.“

“Enjoyed chili Colorado rice and beans with their delicious lemonade. Was craving this for some reason. Sauce is delicious, meat is good, it could use a little less fat on it otherwise I always come back. The server was very nice, I liked that.“

“El sabor de las comidas son auténticas delicias el ambiente muy amigable. Recomiendo ampliamente a Cemiches restaurante gracias amigo yoyó y Lupe“

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

“Eaten here since 2012. From the times I'd get after school snacks to adulthood dinners. This place has amazing and consistent food. It's family owned and operated. The same brother that served me in 2012 served me in 2025. They know my car when I pull up and even had my usual all ready prepared while I was waiting to turn into the lot. This place will always be home. Keep up the great work, Primos“

“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“

“Excellent food, the caldo de res was just like mom used to make. Hubby had the bistec ranchera, which has onions and bell peppers in a tomato based sauce… hubby loved it so much he couldn’t stop talking about how yummy it was, on purpose way home. The corn tortillas are homemade as well as the chips. The salsa bar is excellent with pico de gallo and great tasting red & green salsas, the avocado salsa was excellent. The flavors were wonderful. The seating area was new and clean with a server that brings ur meals. Beautiful restaurant and great tasting food. Each meal was 15.99.“

“Great waters and friendly staff :)“

“Chorizo Breakfast Burrito was by far, one of the best burritos we’ve had. It was delicious. We would definitely go back & try a different breakfast burrito & of course their Birria tacos because that’s what they’re mainly known for. Great choice you won’t be disappointed.“

“Tried the place for the first time. Ordered California burrito, and black bean burrito. Wasn’t expecting it to be really good. The burritos itself were delicious, the portions were good as well. The price was reasonable and taste buds were happy. Sitting are outside truck as well. Will go back for tacos, worth it. Recommended.

Vegetarian options: Black bean burrito, Grilled vegetables as a protein option.“

“Everything taste great but I seriously need to have those beans special delivered to me! I don’t even like beans but I could eat these every day. 🥰“

“OMG my husband Ron and I just had burritos from Bros. Tacos and it was amazing. Ron had a California burrito and I had thier shrimp burritos. The flavors are amazing everything is fresh and tastes great. We also got horchata which was the best I've had in a long time. We definitely recommend this place and they were born out of the Pandemic so show them some love. You won't be disappointed.“

“With so many Mexican food restaurants across the valley and on every other street corner, I would put this in my top 10. Good place to bring friends as they also offer non traditional eats as well. Pizza or a Cuban sandwich. yes and they are good too.“

“Great food with good experiance“

“Excelentes platillos, voy al menos 3 veces por semana con mi familia. Tienen muchas opciones para todos los gustos y el sazón es muy rico. Ampliamente recomendable.😋“
