If you're looking for legit Mexican food, Tacos Mendoza never disappoints. The asada burritos are amazing--perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor. The chili verde is the bomb, rich and tender every time, and the tortas always hit the spot when you're craving something hearty. I've been coming here for a while now and the quality is always consistent. Great food, great flavor, and it keeps me coming back. Definitely one of my go-to spots whenever I'm in the mood for something satisfying! read more

Good carne asada crispy tacos. Young guys running the place keep it super clean, and everything is fresh, and tasty. Husband had Chili Rellano burrito, tortilla wasn't large enough so the burrito fell apart, so not really happy with that. But the tacos were good! They have different soups with Menudo, Caldo de Rez, Albondigas made fresh and available on different days of the week. read more

We just recently discovered that our neighbor owns this restaurant and decided we need to give it a try. The location is conveniently located off Highway 101 at Johnson Drive in Ventura in the Montalvo neighborhood in a strip mall. There is ample seating inside. We were a party of three adults. There was a very short wait at 6 PM on a Tuesday evening and our food was served very quickly. You order at the counter and then they bring the food out to you. The flavor wasn't outstanding but it was fresh and tasty. The portions are quite large and I took half of my fajitas home for the next day. We also ordered the homemade chips for $3/bag. No drinks. With tip, it was just under $60. If you like local authentic Mexican, I would recommend that you at least try Taco Mendoza. read more

I have found my favorite tacos in Ventura! The carne asada tacos and al pastor tacos were so flavorful and great meat quality. I'm a picky meat person and am constantly picking out fatty pieces from my tacos but I did not touch a single one. Every bite was perfect! Huge plus is their salsas have such great homemade flavor. Their molcajete one was my favorite. Love the self-serve salsa bar and free chips station. Every single one was crunchy and delicious. Restaurant was clean and welcoming. The staff was quick to clean tables after patrons left. Definitely a cute little hole in the wall spot with great tacos. I can't wait to go back and try more items. read more

Happy to have found a nice little hole in the wall taco spot in Ventura. Located in a strip mall it was easy to spot this place. There was tons of parking and I came for a late lunch so the center itself wasn't super busy. Taco Mendoza has a good amount of tables and you order up at the counter. The menu is placed on the counter so there really isn't a menu hanging that you can view if there is a line. Staff were friendly and quick. I ordered my food to go so there wasn't much of an interaction but when ordering everyone seemed nice enough. They had some young guys taking orders and packaging food with a more seasoned looking cook in the back. The kitchen is open concept so you can see what's being done. Takeout was a breeze as it seems like the meat is pre cooked because they had my tacos ready in under 2 minutes. Some may prefer meat cooked to order (I know I normally do) but today I was in a rush so it worked out. I kept it simple and went with some street tacos: Carnitas: 3/5. A little dry and bland for my taste. Wasn't bad but I wouldn't get again. Asada: 5/5. Very flavorful and tasty. The meat pieces aren't very big but they packed good flavor that I didn't even need salsa on those tacos. I would definitely get this protein again as it was good. This place is a casual solid 3.5 but bumping them up to a 4 as we can't do half stars here. I appreciate that you can get food here in under a few minutes to be out the door. Not the best tacos in the 805 but when in the area it definitely hits the spot and I would come back for some easy grab and go street tacos. read more

Fast, friendly service and good authentic Mexican food. It's a small out-of-the-way place, but it's worth giving it a try. I popped in one afternoon for a burrito that hit the spot! Beyond the usual meat choices, they have Chile Verde and Chile Colorado. they also have a small salsa bar and fresh chips. I will be back . The guy taking my order was helpful and courteous. That isn't something I look for or get in service industry, but it's very noticeable when it happens! read more

Saw the review on Yelp and went out of my way to come here. The shopping center looks depressing. Parking was easy. Service was attentive and fast. I ordered three tacos for just under 10 dollars. The carne asada taco was a bit gristly but acceptable. The beef in adobe sauce was about the same. The carnitas taco was disgusting. I took a bite and the meat or oil it was cooked in was definitely rancid! I spit it out and smelled it and it had a rancid smell. Not edible. The only place I have seen the charges for tortilla chips. Small bag for 2 dollars. I didn't get any. Salsa bar had only a few things. I got the red radish slices and they were dried out and old and a piece of lime which was fresh. read more

Let me start by saying I came here THREE days in a row for lunch. I finally found my new go-to taco spot and I am so happy. Very much "hole-in-the-wall" which I LOVE. Inside of the restaurant there's plenty of seating and a TV for patrons to enjoy. They have set menu items or you can order ala cart. I ordered three asada tacos and the meat just melts in your mouth. I looked back and the tacos were already gone from my plate. I knew that the very next day I had to come back. One thing I love about Taco Mendoza is the salsa and chips bar. You can have comp chips and salsa with your tacos instead of paying extra. Please keep that! I can't wait to bring friends and co-workers here. read more

Service was incredibly quick, we ordered 4 tacos and had food out in like 6 minutes! The tacos were SO DELICIOUS!! I was adventurous and tried the beef tongue tacos and it was so tender! I loved each bite. It was $3.25/taco. My husband got pastor tacos on flour tortillas and it was also a huge hit, he kept raving about how good this was. It was $3/taco This is a hole in the wall place in a shopping center with a huge parking lot.

First time here and I'm sad to report I was disappointed. This place was recommended by a friend who lives in the neighborhood. Despite it's outside appearance and located in a strip mall, I didn't that that deter me from trying it out. I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and the TV's were showing football. The place was empty but I could tell some guests had recently departed since the table was in the middle of being bussed. I was greeted by a young man who took my order. I was in the mood for tacos so I ordered a variety of them to go. 1 taco each of chicharrón with salsa roja, chicharrón with salsa verde, lengua, carnitas and pastor. The food didn't take long to be ready. Once I was able to try them a few minutes later, i discovered the chicharrón was still a little stiff. The meats all tended to lack flavor even with the salsas. But I will give it another try possibly in the future. Plus sides: Self serve salsa bar and fresh tortilla chips. Menudo & pozole avail on the weekends. read more

Tacos Mendoza is the embodiment of local, neighborhood, 'everyone knows your name' joint. Tucked away in a neighborhood small strip mall, if you didn't have Yelp or live in the neighborhood you'd have no idea it was there. The food is as good as any place of its kind there is. The staff is next level friendly. Tacos Mendoza is as spotless, well-organized, and well run as can be. The food is well prepared, fresh and I find a good value for the money. The salsa bar has a nice assortment of three salsas, plus a pico de gallo, as well as limes, chopped onions with cilantro, all looking freshly prepared and stocked. There is also a serve yourself bin of fresh tortilla chips. Over my first couple of visits I've had the Beef Taquitos, Chicken Taquitos, Tostada with chili Colorado and a street taco with pastor. All excellent, including the beans and rice. I was there on a Sunday and I think we were the only ones that didn't know other people there. Big hellos and goodbyes as folks came and went. I think fully 2/3's, maybe more, of the folks were enjoying big steamy bowls of menudo, which came served with all the little sides that make it complete. I was heading to do some grocery shopping at the nearby Ralphs , which is almost walking distance, and realized I better eat something first or I'll buy every Entenmann's item on the store shelves! When I was first considering going there one of the reviews said it was a 'sketchy' location. I disagree. This is a very working class, well maintained neighborhood area. There is a liquor store and a 7/11 so perhaps late at night you might get some troublesome folks. read more

Vegetarian burrito was 90% uncooked bell peppers and rice. At $12.50, it's also more expensive than the meat burritos. The guacamole they use is the store bought kind with preservatives. They charge 4% extra for cc transactions (which they don't tell you about). read more

Solid breakfast burritos and the best habanero salsa anywhere! Included in a nice salsa bar with fresh chips as well.

Love the Sunday menudo that's definitely a must have, also love the asada tacos, burrito and torta! I love pretty much everything I have tried!! Big time recommend read more

The food and service is always a great experience. The overall vibe of this location is warm and welcoming.

I hadn't been here in quite awhile, so I stopped to get some burritos. Breakfast burrito - one of the better ones in the area. Carnitas burrito - very good. Flavorful. One of the best things about this place is that they have a salsa cart where you can get your own salsa PLUS you can get your own chips!! This is pretty rare nowadays, and is motivation enough to go back!! read more

Small taqueria with a warm feeling. Classic tacos and burritos, from asada, pastor, carnitas, etc. The service is polite and friendly. Like 7 tables and you can put some together if u r a big group. I ordered 6 tacos and my favourite ones were the Carnitas and Chile Verde. I was expecting more flavour from Al Pastor but it didn't make it for me. They have a salsa bar and tray of chips where you can help yourself. For the price and the quality I would come back . read more

I was looking for a good legit burrito to satisfy my cravings and my trusted friend recommended Taco Mendoza. To my surprise I was satisfied ! I was actually able to split this into 2 lunches, it was so massive ! I tried their wet asada burrito with green sauce and topped it with their pico de gallo salsa. Next time I'm trying it with their red sauce to compare the flavors . With that being said, This_is_thespot for a great burrito ! And I'm definitely coming back for more to try the rest of their menu! read more

Ok so we've been to our new favorite place twice this week--for the first time--and the only bad thing I can say is: I wish it was closer to our house! But it was a really good sign that it was medium busy with locals in both of the weekdays that we happened to go in. I need to go back to try some Friday Specials, like the ceviche! So far we've had: carne asada burrito, chile verde burrito, carne asada fries, breakfast burrito, asada nachos, carnitas taco and carnitas quesadilla. It was all amazing. We are pretty critical of Mexican food because we eat it a lot and love it so much. We know what we like and what we don't. Tacos Mendoza is everything we like. First of all, decent prices and a lot of food. I love the good amount of meat in each dish. The carnitas are amazing--great sear, not fatty, not too wet, great flavor. The chile verde flavor was beautiful, I only wish my burrito had more sauce--will ask for it next time. And we totally love the chips and salsa bar set up. Best part is the fresh cucumbers and radishes--love a little salt and salsa to make a great refreshing salad. The only thing missing is the margies! But worth the trip out to Ventura. We will definitely be back. P.S. sorry we ate too fast for me to grab photos!! read more

One of the best Mexican food spots in Ventura. Been coming here for years and they literally never disappoint. While the whole menu is amazing, noticeable mention has to go to the carne asada nachos. They LAYER it so well so every chip has something good on it, unlike many other places. There is always fresh salsa and chips if you decide to eat in house. I usually come on my lunch breaks and they are super quick about getting your food ready which helps a ton when you're limited on time. read more

Excellent breakfast burritos! Fast, friendly and clean. Taco Mendoza is always our first choice when craving Mexican food.
