"I can't believe I waited so long to try Carrillo's! After seeing them in Simi for years, I finally placed an order for a party platter, and it was a total hit. The first thing I noticed was the quality--the chicken in the tacos and taquitos was all-white meat and clearly prepared fresh. They didn't skimp on the quantity either, and the presentation was perfect for hosting. Beyond the food, the service is amazing; the staff is so welcoming and the place is very clean. Safe to say we are hooked--we've been back every week since! If you're looking for reliable, high-quality Mexican food, this is the spot. read more

I'm regular customer here, I love their food but today service over the phone was very disappointing. I ordered huevos chorizo and I decided to do no pico de gallo because YOU HAVE THE OPTION ON THEIR WEBSITE to do so... also the website shows this particular dish with rice, beans. Bottom line I called the store to PLEASE, substitute the pico for green salsa ( 2oz cup) instead, and to get my dish without rice, so, they told me that I need to pay extra charge for the salsa and that rice don't come with it. ( clearly it does according to picture on the website) look at the pictures attached. It looks like team isn't properly trained, I just wanted someone to know what happed. read more

It's 5 de Mayo ... how do you not have Carne Asada!! Poor management ... Many other items were not availed as well!! Such a Bummer

Lots of people order takeout, but we ate in. Amazing service and such a great menu. My wife had Caldo and really enjoyed the veggies and protein. I had albondigas, loaded with veggies and meatballs. Also had a tamale, and I just say, the filling was just so melt in your mouth. It's a place you can pick up relax with your friends. read more

Carrillo's Mexican Deli - Albondigas - Mexican Near Me - Simi Valley, California

customer for 16 years since I was 10 years old. Best tacos in the area. Handmade tortillas to die for.

Was not impressed the first time we went in. The chorizo breakfast burrito was extremely salty. A week after, my husband was craving an asada burrito. We doordashed them. An Asada Classic Burrito and Carnitas Classic Burrito. They were not good at all. Poor quality and very bland. They didn't bother to send salsas or napkins. The asada was way over cooked, burnt almost and had a lot of nerve. read more

I ordered delivery to a friend. Ordered the albondigas. It only came with 2 meatballs. That's crazy. I dont know about any of their other foods, but only 2 meatballs in albondigas is on purpose. read more

I got a California chicken burrito that has chicken, guacamole, potatoes, cilantro, abundant chicken, but I got it to go and it wasn't very warm and I opened it a minute later they do put a lot of chicken in their burritos price for chicken burrito with tax was $15.55. I thought it was a little bit high. You do get a little bag of chips and salsa also. Friendly environment with nice cashier clientele. read more

Family owned, Authentic Mexican food. Service is great for dine-in or take-out. Homemade tortillas, Beef jerky, and Tamales. Great soups too! read more

Confused how two tamales with sauce, small sour cream side (2oz.) , and small side of rice cost me $24... lots of add ons I guess? Wouldn't mind so much if the tamales weren't cold and rice wasnt hard. I remember loving this place but felt kinda weird because seemed costly for what I received and didn't get to enjoy it . :( probably won't be going back sadly read more

We ordered food for a party of 55 people and it surpassed all expectations!! Our guests all were very happy and asked where we had purchase it from. This is the 3rd time we have ordered for a large group from Carillos and we have never been disappointed. If you're looking for great Mexican food this is your place! Thank you Nicole and Staff read more

I love their fresh warm flour tortillas. They're like crack!! I get a dozen every week. I eat it by itself! They're that good!! Their other food is typical normal Mexican food. If you want simple but great food then look no further. This place delivers! I love how they kept it simple and not fusioned-out like what others do. Great and friendly service as well. Inside was simple but the food makes it up. So when in doubt, come to this place. read more

My family has been coming to Carrillo's for 30 years and it's been a true Simi Valley mainstay as far as I can remember. My Mom always loved getting the chili releno, cheese enchiladas and the Chicken Ensalda. As a result, she got me hooked as a child and even now as an adult it's always a blast to come here. Steve and the rest of the staff consistently provide wonderful service every time I've gone. Whether grabbing food to go or eating in, Carrillo's is a must visit for Mexican cuisine. read more

It was a post-golf morning and my boyfriend and I were craving Mexican food. We found this little spot on Yelp in Simi and they had what we were craving: burrito and pozole. The restaurant is located in the strip mall plaza behind Panera with lots of parking. We were the only customers there on a Saturday morning so it was pretty empty. I got a full order of pozole with corn tortillas and he got a chorizo breakfast burrito. We also asked for free chips and salsa as well. I was also parched and ordered a horchata. We took our order for takeout and enjoyed it at home. I felt that the horchata kinda hit the spot but felt a little watered down. The pozole also felt a little watered down too but overall it was OK and had some good meat pieces and hominy. I loved all the toppings that came with the pozole. The chips were tough so it felt hard to crunch on. I had higher hopes because the restaurant has a 4/5 star rating but maybe it didn't meet my expectation. read more

I ordered a taco set for our potluck at the gym. When I arrived, my order was ready. Everyone there was so nice -- both the cooks and the girl at the register, who gave me a big bag of chips. The meat was very delicious. Everyone at the party kept asking me where I had ordered from -- they all loved it! Thank you so much. We will definitely come back with the family for lunch. read more

The people are nice. But the food is so bland. I couldn't believe how tasteless the burrito was. I didn't finish most of it because it was just so very bland and not enjoyable. The thing I like there are those bags of cinnamon chips. But other than that, food is not flavorful. read more

Never coming back. Everything was terrible and when I called to let them know how bad our order was the manager made excuses and wasn't even helpful. Food is trash. Terrible read more

I love their pozole and cosido- it's all I ever order! Horchata is so delicious too!

Not sure why there's a ton of 2 stars on here but I had this place yesterday for the first time in awhile and the breakfast burritos my husband and I got were HUGE and so hot and full of flavor. The tortillas were BOMB, seemed home made. Definitely coming back here! Thanks for changing things up Carrillo's! Keep it up! read more

Love the menudo best in town along with fresh tortillas. Like that we able to place our order over the phone and pick up real quick.

I wanted to have some huevos rancheros for breakfast, so we came to Carrillo's restaurant. I'm a big fan of huevos rancheros, but I was a little disappointed because, instead of the eggs being covered with salsa, they were covered with melted cheese. Maybe they prepared this dish differently because they are from a different region in Mexico, but I didn't like it. So, I removed as much of the cheese as I could and added some red salsa. I think from now on, every time I go to a new Mexican restaurant, I will ask first how they prepare the huevos rancheros, since I like them with red sauce. The restaurant was clean, and the employees were nice. read more

The machaca breakfast burrito was delicious! Always friendly and good service We will go back soon read more

Had dinner here again, seems they changed their menu, or maybe they rotate meats. No carne asada so I tried a chicharrón, chicken and barbacoa taco. As always the tortillas are the best part of this that's why they get the 3 stars. So let's start with the chicken. It was ok, it was boiled shredded chicken, which was really moist and watery and compromised the integrity of the tortilla. I also found a large bone in my chicken see picture. I ordered it with lettuce and cheese and you pay extra for cheese, but there was none on the taco. Next up we will go with the Barbacoa. This one was good, but I did notice the cilantro and onion blend was different. The onions were so giant, and not very well chopped and it made them very overpowering and a little bit unpleasant. Next up the chicharrón. Typically chicharrón is soaked in a liquid to give it flavor. This chicharrón was flavorless. Also, there was hardly any of it in the tortilla. I ordered it with guacamole on top and I did get a generous amount of guacamole however, the guacamole consisted mostly of those giant onions, which I spoke of previously I felt like I had onion tacos basically. Maybe they were just having an off day. I hope they bring back the carne asada. read more

Tried three times. Fresh but bland. No hints of garlic, salt, or cilantro, or lime in salsa or guacamole. The carne asada was also bland. Major difference in taste from San Fernando location. Love this concept but huge disappointment. read more

I couldn't believe the amount they give you for the price they charge for the posole. And to think that it was so hot, the lid was melting and almost burned myself. There was hardly any hominy and meat, but a lot of juice. I didn't like it. Most likely will not be ordering from here again. read more

I usually go here on the weekends for their menudo and it's delicious. This last time was such a disappointment. Everything was extremely salty! It was inedible. I bought the menudo, chicharron tacos and chicken enchiladas. My wife thought the enchilada sauce was salty, while the actual chicken enchilada was not. read more

Carrillo's has a nice authentic touch. They have a good variety of dishes. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros & it was good. Not too crazy about them, but it filled my craving. I'm not a fan of the plastic silverware & styrofoam plates. If I'm spending $15 on one meal, I would at least expect something I can't cut through. Overall it was good, no major complaints. read more

Just okay: order to go caldo de res the potato and carrot was one big chunk each should be more and bite size (too big for a one bite) soup a little watered down could be more a flavorful soup, meat and rice was good read more

The food here was a bit below average. I ordered the 3 item combo. ( Assada taco , crispy chicken taco and a tamale? ) The assada taco was blan with no flavor what's so ever. The tortilla literally fell apart as soon as I picked it up. The crispy chicken taco was good I guess. The homemade salsa was what gave it some flavor. And I'm guessing the green slop was the tamale???? Now this was NASTY soggy slimy pile of mush... I tossed it out. The rice was dry. The beans were kinda good. The service here sucks. They definitely prioritize the dine in customers. I literally watched them make EVERYBODYS order before even starting on mine. It took about 20 minutes before I got my Togo order. So I recommend if you're short on time to just eat there I took some pictures of the place so y'all can see the inside. The ambiance is cute kinda like a classic Mexican restaurant vibe. read more

Sad Sad Sad - ordered takeout and the menudo was so watered down no flavor. Had to add salt and spices so that it can be eatable. You are given 1 tortillas per order. Will not be visiting this location again. read more

This is not "Mexican Food". It's very whitewashed and bland as hell. I gave them at least 5 chances to prove me wrong but the food misses the mark completely. Fast and Fresh Mexican is 100x better than here. This place is for the old folks who have no taste tbh. But on the bright side, customer service is great. read more

I love the food here. But I usually only buy the tortillas, that's only because it's expensive for Mexican food.

They are still open but for limited hours due to covid-19 (8AM-3PM) Have been coming here for over 10 years because their burritos paired with the red tomatillo sauce is unmatched, so I'm glad they're still up and running! read more

Huge burritos and good service! I ordered two california burritos with al pastor through the app using grub hub; however, I received a call saying they ran out so we decided on chicken and carnitas. I was able to get my refund from the extra charge for al pastor, and the employee helping was super friendly and apologized. As for the burrito itself, it was huge! It was filled with lots of meat and guacamole, which is what a lot of other california burritos give less of from other places. The carnitas was soft and flavorful, and I'm usually picky with carnitas but theirs was really good! My bf ate the chicken and he said it was juicy and would want to come again! Overall, definitely a business worth supporting especially during this pandemic. They were compliant with the rules with wearing masks and maintaining social distancing. Go try it for yourself! read more

This has to be my favorite hole-in-the-wall Mexican spot in town. We love heading there on weekend mornings for their top notch breakfast burritos. The chorizo and egg breakfast burrito NEVER disappoints. Salsas are so fresh and pack the perfect amount of heat. Also decided to order here for a birthday celebration and the beans and rice were fantastic, and they even let us purchase seasoned carne asada at a discounted price to grill at home! Tortillas are the best in town. You MUST give this place a try if you're in the mood for Mexican food! read more
