Finally got to try Tacos 805 and I was very satisfied with my order! I ordered the QuesaBirria Tacos with Consome and it was delicious! All the workers were very friendly and the place was packed! Great ambiance and vibe inside and the Tacos were good size and stuffed with a lot of meat! They had a good selection of Beers and big Flat Screens to watch the game! Great Tacos in Simi Valley!
Tacos 805 in Simi Valley is the Bomb!!! We visit this restaurant whenever we're visiting in SoCal and it never disappoints!!! A must visit if you're in Simi Valley. We were very hungry when we arrived and ordered their Cheese Enchiladas, Crispy Braised Beef Tacos and the very generous amount of Chips with guacamole and Salsa, and a side of Rice and Beans. Everything was super DELICIOUS!!! The drinks, a Modelo Machalada and Pina Aguas Fresca were so good and refreshing too!!! Service was excellent!!! Shout out to the Servers there especially Angie for the quick and efficient service. The restaurant is not very big but there's certainly enough seating and very quick turnaround. There's a bar and bar seating you can eat at if you don't want to wait for a table.
Cool spot I like the ambience it's very chill. Staff was super nice, our waitress was Valeria and she was really attentive and had good energy The food was good. The quesabirria taco was great-the meat quality and the cheese just super tasty! I didn't love the pastor as it was ground instead of like strips of it, but the flavor was good. Tacos dorado was bomb. The guacamole was actually really flavorful with the chips and salsa. This salsa is average, but if you add some of the spicy salsa bottle to it, it elevates the flavor. Overall, really great, I feel like it was lacking just a little bit of spice however, I'm assuming that's just what the preference might be in the area.
Good creative varieties of tacos. 3 tacos is a good portion for 1 person. Would recommend trying their specialities. Slightly expensive for what it is. Service is quick and kind. Inside is clean and has many tables, parking is part of a larger lot.
Stopped in for a quick to go dinner on a Tuesday night and the restaurant was busy with people waiting outside. I went directly to back of restaurant to order and staff was super friendly in assisting with my order. Plus they have a good system to notify when you food is ready by texting. So what did I think? I ordered the 805 burrito and felt it was ok. I think my biggest issue with the burrito is that was salty. Too salty for me. Plus burrito had refried beans and I like whole beans. Plus a lot of rice and not so much meat. The tortilla was good. Given how salty my burrito was I probably wouldn't order this again, and wonder if other food items are as salty. Perhaps I would stop in for something else!
Great little taco shop close by the job. I was working at kind of expensive for tacos, but the quality is worth it. They're delicious and I would totally go back if I was in the area again the ambience is probably What you'd expect for a Simi Valley taco spot and I think the tacos are delicious.
Our second time visiting Tacos 805 and just as good as our dinner visit with friends. Decided to have lunch there today and it did not disappoint. Very busy lunch crowd that did not impact the service or the food coming out of the kitchen. Plenty of TV's on the wall with all sports events while we enjoyed our chips and salsa, our server very friendly and accommodating. Food came out hot and flavorful, plenty of everything in the tacos, mine was the fish tacos and were outstanding the wife had the El pastor and Carne asada which both were flavorful and juicy, not dry like other places we have dined at. We will frequent this place a lot, prices are perfect and not expensive for lunch or dinner for two. If you are in Simi Valley and craving a taco and margarita this is your place without hesitation. Well done Tacos 805 you got my vote! Mangiamo!
Omg ! I was craving tacos,taquitos mexican rice chips and salsa. I was driving by simi and decided to try this place based on reviews I had 2 options but decided to try this spot ! The place is nice and seemed clean so that was great. Sadly the food didn't by far have a wow factor ! I was honestly starving since I had a long way home just got off exit to get . Here is my experience I asked for chicken taquitos and I happen to eat one on drive home that was meat not chicken I only eat chicken for health choices and somehow I ended up with beef that I did not order nor am i supposed to eat . Here is the pic of the difference between beef and chicken so sad but will definitely remember to always check before we drive off ! On another note there was no chips included thats fine, I guess but honestly every mexican restaurant always gives chips even if its to go in my opinion please Don't be stingy with salsa. I will countinue my search for great tasting mexican food! Gracias !
This place is a small taco place that has a nice vibe! This place has a good vibe especially if you want to watch a sports game or just get some dinner! I got the pastor, asada and chorizo tacos n all were pretty good! My favorite had to be the chorizo which wasn't too greasy compared to other places! The drink sizes are perfect for a beer or mixed drink! I'd recommend and have come back a few times!
Great food and drinks! Outstanding fish/Pescado ceviche. Birria breakfast torta was also excellent. Our waitress Madeline and the staff were attentive and kind. Highly recommended Taco 805!
Was having a New Year's Day taco and burrito craving, so we decided to order from Tacos805. I've been here a few times before when they first opened, and I've always thought their tacos were solid. This visit started off strong. The chips and salsa were absolutely wonderful--fresh, flavorful, and a great way to kick things off. The carne asada tacos, both flour and corn, were also very good. They're fairly basic, but sometimes simple is best. The steak had good flavor, was cooked well, and didn't need much else. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill with the Mar y Tierra shrimp and steak burrito. I was completely unimpressed. There's just way too much going on in that burrito. It was overloaded with sauce, making the entire burrito soggy and messy. The shrimp were very small, overly salty, and honestly took away from the overall flavor instead of enhancing it. The shrimp felt cheap and didn't pair well with the steak at all. If I were the owner, I'd strongly consider removing the shrimp from that burrito altogether and sticking to what this place clearly does well--chicken and carne asada. That's where they shine. Also worth noting: chips and salsa are charged separately, which is fine to know going in. Overall, I would definitely come back for the tacos only, but I would not order a burrito again. Stick to the basics here and you'll likely have a much better experience.
Not a lot to say about this place, except came with with family (and we eat Mexican food a lot) today for lunch... and everyone said these were the best tacos they had eaten, ever. Wow. That's high praise indeed. I somehow was the black sheep, and ordered a torta, which was delicious. The chips plate is $9 and comes with salsa and guacamole. No free chips like in other places. If the food weren't as great as it is, this would cost one star off the review. But I'll let it go. Still, free chips and salsa should be a given. Service was also very good. The food came out super fast, despite a full restaurant. The place has no ambiance, no pretension, it is focused on great food and great service. Well done! My pictures aren't labeled. I don't even know the particulars of what everyone ordered. Just that we were all super pleased.
Tacos 805 I've been looking for a place like you! The chilaquiles here (weekends only) are amazing! I've been looking for a good one in Simi for a while and this one is not only delicious but is a HUGE portion. I recommend to add eggs to it. I also tried a Al pastor taco that tasted good and fresh. Aside from the food being good, the employees were all very nice and attentive. The place has very large TV's pretty much wrapped around and the beer option looked solid.

805 Tacos in Simi Valley is definitely worth checking out! The staff was excellent--friendly, welcoming, and provided great service. The food was absolutely amazing, fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The carne asada fries are amazing! Definitely one of the highlights and something I highly recommend trying. It's always nice to find a place that has both great food and great customer service. We really enjoyed our experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend 805 Tacos if you're in Simi Valley and looking for some delicious tacos and carne asada fries! read more

I really enjoyed my meal here! I ordered 2 chicken enchiladas and 1 cheese enchilada with rice and beans, along with a nopal taco, which was really yummy! The only thing I didn't love was that the tortilla on my taco was a little undercooked, but overall everything had great flavor. My friend tried a few different things, including a birria taco, which she said was her favorite even though it was a little on the greasy side. She also ordered a one beef taco dorado, fish taco and shrimp taco and Jamaica. The rice especially had really great flavor! I also ordered an 805 Bowl with chicken to go for my mom, and she really enjoyed it! It's definitely a nice option if you're looking for something a little healthier. The service was great too! Our waitress was very attentive and made sure we were taken care of. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but it has a nice bar area and seems like a cute spot to hang out, grab some food, and enjoy a drink. Overall, we had a really good experience! read more

A huge shout out to my sister-in-law for telling us about Tacos 805!!! The back story.... She had told my wife and I about a Mexican place that her and her husband came across while they were shopping at the Simi Valley Stater Brothers off of Los Angeles Ave. She said they had this amazing carne asada burrito with French fries inside of it and it was legit. So naturally, I knew it was a just a matter of time before me, the wife and the kids would be venturing over to Simi Valley to check this place out. Fast forward a few months... So after a fun filled morning with my family, my sister, my brother-in-law and my mom where we spent some time fishing at the Rancho Simi Duck Pond just to let the kids practice their casting and reeling in with their Uncle Joe, we decided to get lunch before heading back home. As we were driving, I told my wife, "ooh, what about that Mexican place your sister told us about with that epic burrito" And just like that... Off to Tacos 805 we went! When we first walked in, I noticed the place was pretty packed and there were lots of people sitting at the bar watching the game. Despite being busy that day and the space inside being extra cozy, thankfully they had an open table that fit our party perfectly. Of course, we already knew that we were going to get that burrito recommended by my wife's sister.... But the place is called Tacos 805... And if you have EVER read any of my other reviews where tacos have been an option... You know for a fact that I that is what I'm getting! So with just a quick glance at the menu, I knew instantly what I would be getting: 1 Carne Asada. 1 Al Pastor. 1 Camarón. Aka angus steak, marinated pork, & fried shrimp. Of course I ordered a side of chips + salsa and a bottled Mexican Coke to complete my order. So how were the Tacos at Tacos 805 you ask... The tortillas are handmade which I love! The amount of meat in each taco was plentiful, this place definitely does not skimp. And the flavors of each taco definitely represented the 805 proud. Tortas, quesadillas, enchiladas and other Mexican Specialties are also available to order. Service was good... we were well taken care of during our visit. And since it's called Tacos 805... They do have a decent selection of local draft beers and of course wine, margaritas, michelada's & bottled Mexican Beers. So if you're from the 805 or you are just passing through... Make sure to come give this place some well deserved Love. read more

If you're craving tacos, check this place out. Ordered asada and birria tacos. The asada street tacos were so good - good chunks of flavorful meatand not fatty which was nice; tacos were full of meet. The birria taco too had a lot of meat, perfect amount of cheese and good flavor. And to top it off they carry Coke Zero. Ordered to-go, food came out fast and tacos was delish. Will definitely be eating here again! read more

We've come here multiple times and every time the food is 10/10!! The dinning room is small so there is sometimes a wait, but it's always worth it. Staff are attentive and take your order at the table. The 805 burrito and Jamaica drink are also delicious!! read more

I'm came here after traveling all day for a work event and couldn't wait to try the birria! After talking with the waitress I went for the birria and a beef taco that she recommended... and some chips and guac... the chips and guac were delicious! You got a decent amount for an individual serving too! The birria was good but you do have to buy the dipping sauce if you want it... but it was flavorful enough without it I thought. And the tacos were not overly greasy which was a huge bonus! If I find myself back out here I will definitely stop by! read more

It's often difficult to find a great Taqueria in Simi Valley so when I heard about this place, I drove to the heart of Simi Valley to try their Taco and Quesoburro. They have their own beer and a full bar so if you wanted to fill yourself with spirits, come on down! They also have 5 large TV sets and a unique decor inside the restaurant. I tried their chicken, steak and Al Pastor Tacos and they're filling but seemed to lack flavor and substance. Their toasted Quesoburro is thick and great enough to fill anyone's tummy. However, they seem to under staffed, the place is space challenged and their tacos seem highly-priced. One of their male staff member seemed rude and and ill-mannered when I dropped by, he seemed not in the mood for serving us. He was pushing the chairs like seeing an unwelcome guest and not pleasant to show a smile or hello. Food is not too bad but can be better with some degree of customer service and price adjustment. read more

I stopped in for a burrito to go, I took a glance at the menu, the offerings look pretty good. This burrito was going to seal their fate on any return visits. I picked up the Mar Y Tierra (Surf and Turf, Carne Asada & Shrimp) Burrito and a Large Horchata, ran me around 24.67. One green salsa and two red salsa. The burrito is good on its own, lets go ahead and put that out there. The tortilla its wrapped in is doing a great job of holding the burrito together, and it has a light toast on it. Not overly thick, but thick enough not to fall apart on every bite. I don't have any food allergies, or am I picky. I know there are folks who don't like cilantro. I'm not the biggest guacamole fan myself. That being said, the creamy cilantro salsa, and guacamole add a good texture to bring all of the flavors together. I dislike when Mexican food is LATHERED in guacamole. Thankfully; That was not my experience here, there is a nice balance to all of the ingredients to where I can taste the rice, the steak, and the shrimp and the light toasting of the tortilla holding everything together. The horchata is nothing special. And that's not a bad thing, some people try to do way too much with agua frescas. This is just plain ole traditional horchata de arroz from Mexico, not Semilla de Jicaro advertised as Mexican Horchata. Completely different flavors. (more of a personal rant in general lol) I hope this business is able to thrive in Simi Valley, I'm not local to the area, just work out here. But my go to taco spot for the last 5 years went missing. Look forward to coming back and trying the other offerings. I will also say this, someone actually complained they don't give free chips and salsa with your food in one of these reviews. And to that I say "never change" The burrito is good enough on its own, and 50/50 someone is actually eating included chips and salsa. And those people would probably dock a review if the chips and salsa didn't meet a biased standard. read more

Clean modern restaurant with excellent food. I had 3 specialty tacos: Dorado, Quesabirria, papa asada + consume for $3. One word- delicious! The bar seating has 2 large TVs with the Dodgers games playing. We got here around 8:30 pm and there was a steady flow of customers. I have to try the classics next time! read more
