Super cute mexican eatery that features a full on vegan page in their menu!! So happy !! I started with an agua fresca made fresh in house. It was fresh and delightful- I saved half for my dessert, very sweet. I ordered the vegan verde with jackfruit. It was really good but way too big! I took almost half home and ate it for lunch the next day (still delicious BTW). It did taste super salty to the point I think maybe there was a mishap especially because my companion's meal was not salty so the contrast was significant. My companion ordered sopes and that plate was good! Service was prompt and courteous. If I lived here I would likely be a regular:) So grateful for proprietors who consider plant based offerings!

Loaded Vegan Breakfast Burrito
Val L.

AMAZING flavors and an EXCELLENT menu with so many options! This food instantly transported me back to abuelita's kitchen--extra special yet beautifully simple, traditional, and genuine. I love the boss woman running the front with perfect service and attention to every detail, and then from the kitchen emerges an angel with the most mouthwatering, authentic food you can imagine at a perfectly hot temperature. The service here is warm, attentive, and flawless. Their super vegan specialty menu blew me away--extensive, creative, and full of choices (which is rare and SO appreciated!). My husband had the loaded breakfast burrito packed with tater tots and bursting with homemade flavor, while I enjoyed the Enchiladas Suizas with the most incredible green enchilada sauce. Both plates were absolutely delicious, hearty, and so satisfying. The portions are generous, and everything tasted fresh and authentic. Bonus points: the bathroom was immaculate. All around, it's a 10/10 experience. We can't wait to come back and try EVERYTHING on the menu! Highly recommend for anyone who loves authentic Mexican food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere!!

You don't find places like this often. It really did feel like authentic Mexican food! Overall, From the vibes (calm, relaxing, the music), how you're greeted and feel welcomed, to the food. The food feels light and fresh! And that guacamole was top notch! Will definitely be returning! We got the sopes and camarones con carne! **Maybe a little more salt and taste to the beans is all!

Pollo en Mole Plate
Danielle F.

This place was a definitely a pleasant surprise! I'm never really fond of going to Mexican Restaurants as most can taste to Americanized. But this place captured the flavors perfectly! The restaurant is not too big. We had a big group and walked in and they were able to seat us right away during lunch time on a Saturday. Firstly, they have a good menu with plenty of choices. They even had a full vegan menu. I ended up choosing the Pollo en Mole Plate. The rice and beans were one of the best beans and rice I've had in a really long time. The mole's flavor had so much personality. The chicken was good, but my personal preference is too have it off the bone so if you are like me that is your heads up. The size of the plate is good for one. My friends did split a burrito so if you are looking to share I'd go for a burrito. Their guava drink was a also pretty good. The salsa was spicy and bomb! The service was good. To get the food it did take a little bit, but it was worth the wait. All my friends loved their plates too, so I don't think you can go wrong with anything here.

Omg the vegan meatball soup was so yummy! Full of fresh veggies and vegan meatball soup. The lemon is the perfect add on to bring all the flavor of the soup together . We been coming here for over two years and I have to say it's the little gem of Valencia! If you haven't been it's a must !

Very cute restaurant. Parking is a little small but you can find parking. The staff is very nice. Food was good. A lot of options. I had chicken sopes. Very tasty. They have a lot of vegan options which was awesome since we went with friends who are vegan.

Vegan tacos de adobo
Evelyn H.

I'm not vegan but I enjoy eating delicious vegan food with my vegan bestie and this place really hit the spot! The environment is very cozy and traditional, the service was great, and the food was absolutely OUTSTANDING!! Ordered the vegan sopes and the taco plate, both with adobo protein and I kid you not it was probably the best adobo I've tasted. All the flavors come together so well and make you wanting more. I envy Santa Clarita for having this gem in their city. Hoping they can open one in the OC area.

The place is clean and cozy with a comfortable, casual vibe, and the food is super comforting, almost like a home cooked meal. It's a dim sum spot and the ordering process is really easy. You just scan the code at the table and order everything from your phone, which makes the whole experience quick and convenient. We've been here twice now and some of our favorites are the shu mai, sticky rice, and the wings. Everything we've tried so far has been really good. On our most recent visit we also tried the fried tofu. The flavor was great and I ordered the less spicy version. The only small note is that the fried tofu was a little on the saltier side. If they eased up on the salt just a bit it would be perfect. The service has also been great both times we've come. The servers are always kind and attentive and they check in to see if we have any questions or need anything. I always appreciate restaurants that make you feel taken care of. Overall we're really happy we found a dim sum place closer to home. This has definitely become one of our go to spots and we'll be back again soon.

Some places don't just serve dinner, they create evenings you remember…read more The Old Town Junction has that kind of atmosphere. Warm, inviting, and effortlessly charming. From the moment we sat down, the staff was attentive without hovering, quick to accommodate, and genuinely welcoming. The food is top notch, beautifully prepared and absolutely worth treating yourself. If you've got a little extra to spend on a date or a good friend, this is the place to do it. A special thank you to Danielle, our waitress, who was kind, courteous, and never rushed us. She even allowed us to linger a bit after hours to enjoy our final lemon drop, making the night feel unhurried and personal. Great food, great service, and an experience worth repeating. Highly recommend. El Yepista - Gabriel

Lovely spot for drinks and dinner in Santa Clarita…read more I was in the area running errands and decided to grab dinner nearby on a Thusday evening around 6:30 pm. I found this place on Yelp and dropped by for dinner. My party of 2 was seated immediately. Personally I thought the menus were hard to read. The gray lines in the background were quite dark and clashed with the actual menu items. My suggestion to the restaurant would be to reprint the menus with lighter background. They have an extensive cocktail menu with a lot of gin-based drinks. They also have good selection of wine and NA drinks as well, including some mocktails. I got the I'm Driving mocktail ($13), which I really liked. It had good passion fruit flavor without being too sour. Felt like a really nice tropical juice. My friend really liked his drink Bramblin' Man ($17), which had strong notes of bourbon and blackberry. I wasn't super hungry, but the braised short rib looked amazing so I got that for $43. It was very tender, but I personally found it bland especially on the inside. I asked for additional sauce so I could drench each bite in the sauce. My favorite part of the plate was surprisingly the potato croquette, which was perfectly crispy and well flavored. My friend got the chicken club ($23), which he enjoyed. I stole a bunch of his seasoned fries since they were so good. I would've loved to get dessert but was too stuffed. Next time!
