Some very solid tacos and reasonable prices. I especially like that I can get a fish taco on a crunchy shell here. The chips and salsa are also pretty good.

Albondigas
Brent O.

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.

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.

We tried the Carrillos in Simi... we love the one in San Fernando. Simi did not disappoint. The restaurant is cute, clean, and very inviting. As expected, the food is absolutely delicious. Our group had Menudo, Chilaquiles, breakfast eggs, and a gordita. We learned that the tortillas are still made in San Fernando and delivered fresh each day. Of course we had to take some home. The seating was very comfortable and on a Saturday morning it was not as crowded as the one in the Valley. I hope others will support this family owned business. It is absolutely delicious.

California chicken burrito
Hyd F.

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.

Burnt Asada Classic Burrito
Sara Q.

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.

Chicken Ensalada
John Michael S.

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.

All you need is love and burritos
Youri Y.

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.

Menu Board. But there is more than this.

Ask the Community - Carrillo's Mexican Deli

Do they use any meat, chicken broth or lard in the rice, beans or tortillas? Looking for vegan options.

Hi! Thank you for your question! The rice has a touch of chicken base and we also use chicken stock. The beans are vegetarian, as well as the corn tortillas. Our flour tortillas and tamales are made with lard.

Is the menudo only available on weekends or all days? Reviews have stated both and most places only make it for the weekends.

Hello! We prepare our menudo every Saturday and Sunday. Whatever is left over we sell the following day. We tend to sell out but usually we will have extra. We also offer Caldo de Res, Caldo de Pollo, Pozole and Albondigas all day every day!

My friends and I came here for dinner the other night and I was absolutely blown away by this spot…read more Visually, it's a stunning place and they've done a fabulous job with the aesthetic as it's the kind of place that feels like a party. Neon lights, cute signage, and overall they just did a really great job with the design and execution. There's a lot going on but it doesn't feel cheap. Ambiance is definitely A+. For dinner on a weeknight we found this spot wasn't too busy but we also came after happy hour. It was a relaxed vibe. Service was overall pretty good. I felt like all of the gals working were very very sweet and nice. Also, anytime we stopped them to ask for refills and such we got what we asked for. That's my only upgrade as since it wasn't super busy, it would have been nice for the staff to catch the refills on water or salsa on their own/more proactively but hey, it was again a relaxed lowkey night and the staff couldn't have been lovelier. I'm just curious how the service would be if they were super busy? Now on to the food and drinks. The menu was very impressive! Solid cocktail and drinks menu. I'm bummed I didn't get a cocktail but my party doesn't drink so it was more fun to get an agua Fresca with them. The guava one was good and served nicely chilled. However, next time I'll definitely get a cocktail because their drinks looked fun and beautiful. The food was definitely the standout for me. I ordered the cheese enchiladas Suizas and they were a 10/10. Not comparable to most enchiladas I've had but the sauce was fantastic and unique. I really loved these enchiladas and I'd honestly get them again. Solid flavor in the rice and beans as well. My friends also enjoyed their meal and it seemed like everyone was happy. The pricing is a little steep for Mexican food but also the ambiance and presentation make sense to me why it'd be a little more. For the three of us the bill was over $100. And that's for three mains and three non-alcoholic drinks. Normally at $33-ish a person I'd hope for at least a beer with my enchiladas, so keep that in mind. As a special occasion place or a spot to celebrate this spot is truly fantastic. I honestly loved my meal so much that even with the price point I'd rush back and bring more friends because this spot is vibey. Nice staff and a cute spot to diner, 5 stars in my books given the quality, taste of the food and the overall experience.

I saw the margarita flight and knew I had to try it, especially since it was my first time. They were all delicious and tasty. I would definitely order again. They had their garnish game on point. I also saw they had a taco flight. I knew I had to try those as well. I wanted to try all the different meat options to find the flavors I like. The Birria taco was my favorite flavor. Some of the meats were a little dry. I wish they had a little more flavor to them. They gave me two different salsas to add and that helped. But I would definitely like to see the flavors of the tacos improve. I always crave sushi. That was a must try for me. I thought I would try the fiesta mariachi roll for the first trip here. It was delicious. I'm craving more! I think next time I will have to try some of the other sushi options since this one was so good. Also since they basically have flights for everything..... I would love to have a sushi platter flight... with my margarita flight! I will definitely go back. I can't wait to try more menu items. The staff was all very attentive and friendly.

BEST Mexican restaurant in Simi Valley!! It's traditional Mexican food, but with a modern twist!…read more I got ceviche with rice, beans, and a Mexican coke. It was finger licking good! The ceviche had plenty of shrimp in it! Such a great amount of protein. I'm typically very particular about shrimp texture, this was absolutely perfect. Cooked to perfection and so moist! It was topped with mango, which paired so deliciously with the lime. Avocado and cucumbers with tajin were also included. And I got 4 small tostadas, crackers, and tapatio packets on the side. My Ubereats driver took a long time to get my food to me, and I was starting to get impatient and hangry, but receiving my order made up for everything! I cannot wait to order again!

This review is for the restaurant named "Kalaveras" (in Simi Valley, California), which has just…read morerecently closed. This business location was renamed to "Kulturas," which has an entirely separate yelp business page. Kulturas had a soft opening on September 3rd, 2026, and they are scheduled to have their official grand opening on September 24th. I recently visited this Kulturas, and I plan to write a yelp review on this new business soon, after I have had a few more visits here and I've solidified my opinion. However, now that Kalaveras has closed, I'd like to post my review on my experiences here. I have been to this Kalaveras about a dozen times over the last few years. Throughout all my experiences the food and the drinks were always very good, and I had no problems whatsoever. The service at this Kalaveras was very good most of the time, and I only experienced one bad waitress with a bad attitude. The atmosphere here was always clean, vibrant and inviting. The only problem that seemed to exist was that this restaurant was VERY LOUD inside, so much so that the people I regularly go to restaurants with often did not want to come here. I've seen other folks mention how loud it was at this Kalaveras in their yelp reviews as well. This atmosphere appeared to be targeted for an audience in their twenties, and in large groups, especially for folks looking for a club/night-life environment. Unfortunately, I believe this environment was just annoying to older folks, or even any age group of people who actually wanted to hear the person with whom they were talking. Overall, this Kalaveras was a very good restaurant with very good service, with only one major flaw: the loud noise. From my first experience at Kulturas, it appears that the owners and managers here are trying to make improvements, and they are trying to transition this restaurant from a 3-star or a 4-star location to a 5-star location. Based on my first experience at Kulturas, they might succeed.
