    Always a hit. The chicken and tritip are juicy and flavorful. Never dry. Their burritos are great too. The Simi Valley location is better than Moorpark.

    Came here for lunch sooooo delicious- it's that authentic carne and pollo asada w salsa and beans and tortillas, delicious seasoning and bbq flavors Good service and super friendly staff! Got my order fast and enjoyed the vibes. Small spot very yummy!

    Really fast and friendly service! I called to place an order for pickup and it was ready in under 10 minutes. The food is great and portions are pretty good. The ambiance reminds me of pollo norteño in Oxnard. I'm satisfied I found a great option close by.

    I've heard good things about this place; a few of my friends order catering from here for parties, so I've been wanting to check it out. Came for lunch and ordered the tritip and chicken plate that also comes with beans, tortillas, salsa and a grilled jalapeño. Food came out pretty fast. Tritip was sliced thin and very tender. Chicken had a nice flavor. The salsa was tasty and jalapeño spicy which I like. Restaurant is on the smaller side, about 7 or 8 tables. It has its own parking lot; there were a few spaces next to the restaurant but not sure if there are more in the back. Definitely a good lunch option and would eat here again.

    Combo plate with tri tip and chicken, tortillas, beans and salsa. Chips and salsa, and drink were extra.

    Fast, fresh, great service, and quality food. A little hole in the wall with a family atmosphere. The food is affordable and always delicious.

    This place is Absolutely Amazing!  Great Fresh Food! Very Clean Restaurant! Very Friendly Staff!

    I've lived in Simi for 5 years and feel stupid for waiting this long to eat here. This was hands down the best meal I've had in Simi .. and it's not even close. Clean fresh ingredients

    Delicious food & great service that you should definitely try! Food & service 10/10…read more Location- Hard to see from the street but it's located next to the 7-11. Pretty big space but only one single toilet bathroom which was very clean & had an air freshener present so you didn't smell the person before you. Food- I had the steak fajitas. A little smaller than I was expecting but Omg this was sooooo tasty! Steak was perfectly cooked with a GREAT flavor/seasoning. Veggies were cooked just right so they were a little crisp without feeling slimy. I honestly think about this dish often & always try to find a reason to go back. Service- Fast, friendly & always able to accommodate our large party. Wait staff would notice your drinks being low & would promptly refill them or ask if you were ready to order another adult beverage. Drinks were decent but nothing that stood out to me. Go give them a try!

They did have a green mild version which was really good. I ordered the vegetarian fajitas and they were tasty, but I wish there was a little bit more variety of the vegetables. It was at least 60% onions. They only gave three small flour tortillas with the meal, which is definitely not enough for the portion/price so it would've been good if they gave more or asked if we wanted more. The atmosphere is fun, restaurant is clean. Service was slow but friendly. The biggest downside was the horrible parking situation. The parking lot is jampacked and many of the spots are signed that say you cannot park there for Elvira. Didn't want to risk getting towed so wound up parking quite far away to meet my friend for lunch. I definitely will come back and try this again to give them another try.

    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.

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.

    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.

Let's talk about that shrimp enchilada. The sauce is phenomenal. It's layered, sweet, savory, and so full of flavor that I could honestly eat it weekly. I also loved the sauce bar, with multiple sauces you can choose from and take to go. And I have to mention how much I appreciate a restaurant that sends you home with a bag of chips. Such a sweet touch...it makes the experience feel special. I also love that Yolanda's understands that people want to support local restaurants while still needing some affordability. Their happy hour is a great option for that, Monday through Friday. I included a photo of the menu so you can see all the options. And most of all, Yolanda's should know how phenomenal their staff is. I spoke with Ema, the host, at length, and what a wonderful young person. Ema knew the menu, gave me great tips, and clearly knows the food. She told me a favorite is the Asada Burrito, both with fresh avocado as well as the Asada Fries. And one last little detail I loved: the "thank you" with a heart sticker on the takeout packaging! What a sweet note to include with someone's to go meal. These details really make a difference tell you so much about how thoughtful this restaurant is in all that it does! Yolanda's you have a new fan - I can't wait to come back.
