Came for Menudo, which was great. Pata was delicious, BUT tortillas were too thick for my taste. Portion was plenty, overall menudo was very good. Service was also good. Place was clean, I would recommend this place for menudo. read more

This place is one of my all time faves. Warm friendly service and great authentic food like your abuelita might make if you're lucky enough to have one! read more

This is the third time I've ordered food to go, and every single time it has been absolutely delicious. The carne asada is especially good--juicy, flavorful, and high quality. I'm pretty picky when it comes to meat and don't like fatty, chewy pieces, but everything I've had here has been consistently excellent. I love the carne asada burrito, and the beans are so flavorful. Their mild salsa is also a favorite--so good! Next time, I definitely want to dine in and try one of their margaritas. Highly recommend! read more

Great service from our waitress. Very large bowl of menudo was excellent! We'll be back on wknds for the Menudo.

For me this is some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. Chips and salsa are on point. All ingredients are super fresh. Service was amazing. Love this place. read more

GETTING HERE: Located in Santa Paula across from the U.S. Post Office and next door to The Nautilus gym on Mill Road. REVIEW: Food was so amazing. Very good. Easy 5 stars for the food, only. However, the service was subpar at best. I don't know if it was an off day or what the deal was. But, I fully hope (expect) the service to be INCREDIBLE the next time I come here. I ordered their chilaquiles with green sauce and my guest ordered the chicken mole enchiladas. (We actually came here at the request of my guest and their chicken mole enchiladas.) The entrees did not disappoint! What did disappoint, besides the terrible service this visit, was their chips. They were served VERY WELL done. My guest asked one young girl if we could get another serving of them, and she replied, "No. They are all like that." Rather an odd reply. Then, a bit later my guest asked another (different) employee if we could get fresh chips and she also replied, "No." It was weird. Really weird. Other than that, it was a very good dinner and this food is better than I have had in a long time. Very much recommend. read more

Tlaquepaque Restaurant - Taco Dorado lunch - Mexican Near Me - Santa Paula, California

Talk about real deal aunthentic Mexican food. After asking for recommendations on places to eat, I was referred here and it is defenitly one of the best Mexican food spots I've ever eatin at. Located right across from the post office, you have plenty of parking on the street or on the lot across the street. Each time I have came by they have customers dining but never too busy. I've placed my orders to go and typically takes 10-20 minutes. I've tried a few things but for sure the caldo the res is the winner for me. All their caldos are good but the res just has that extra depth of flavor. Servings are huge and the price is fair. Their corn tortillas are hands down some of the best homemade tortillas I have ever had. This is what sets this place apart from all this other Mexican resteraunts. If your in the mood for Mexican food, please be sure to give this please a try. It's a 12/10 and will not disappoint. read more

Best hand made corn tortillas in town!! I wish I could take pictures of them but they never last!!!

Amazing service waitresses were helpful Best menudo In 805. Location and parking easy access. read more

I'm sorry, but it was really disappointing for a $30 lunch. It took a long while to finally be given a menu, even though it was not busy at all towards end of lunch time. Then food quality for the shrimp Tlaquepaque was horribly dry and old tasting. The rice and beans were very bland. The. The handmade tortillas were not given until about halfway through the meal and even they were rather "wet" tasting, like if they were not cooked completely or they were plated with wet hands. read more

The food is ok. Run of the mill Mexican food. The drywall and paint on the walls next to the tables has been peeling for over 10 years. Please owner spend a few hundred dollars and fix this place up it looks like crap! Also their guacamole used to be good,now they're cheating their customers and feeding them Mexican squash instead which has similar flavor profiles as Avacado read more

The tacos are so good! The tortillas are my favorite, as well as their table salsa. It's a really good go to for looking for a home cooked style meal read more

Great food! Online ordering too! A little restaurant that delivers great food a service! Highly recommend. read more

Excellent service very patient and friendly waitress. Was looking for a place to grab a quick bite at a good price. Food was very tasty and great portions at a great price. Will make this a regular stop when I'm in the area. Highly recommend. read more

I have to ask myself "was this the best mexican food i have ever had in california?" The corn tortillas are hand made and are the best i ever had! I was giddy at how good the food was. The people are cool. Even the house chips and salsa were great - the salsa was flavorful with a good amount of heat. Next time i will ask if the salsa is home made. I forgot how cute this town is, and i will remember to come back to this place. Relleno with mole sauce, pozole, hard taco, enchilada, and steak quesadilla was in the corn tortillas and that was tasty and satisfying. Oh ya, almost forgot, the famous santa paula meyer lemons are outstanding, i ate mine right away. read more

First time in Santa Paula and found this restaurant on Yelp. Didn't know what to expect being in a small city, but I was not disappointed. The food here is AMAZING!! I ordered the carne asada plate - the meat was so tasty, I could really taste the juices it was marinated in and it was not fatty. Rice and beans were really good and salsas too. Tortillas were hand made which just made the meal even more delicious! Hubby ordered al pastor taco plate and he said this was the best al pastor he ever had and loved the rice too. Jamaica was not authentic, seemed like a mix so that was a bummer but would still eat here again and definitely recommend this place. Forgot to take photos but hearty portions! read more

Was not happy with my order which consisted of enchiladas and hard shell tacos. The chips were mediocre and overall experience was not good,the only positive was the waitress. Will never return. read more

This is one of favorite restaurants! They make homemade corn tortillas, which are 100% authentic. I always order the breaded chicken breast which almost never disappoints. Recently, I order the al pastor torta, and it was flavorful!! I usually call in the order. I learned recently you can order online. Id say the only down side is that closing time varies. read more

It was a cold night, always got here to get my caldo aka chicken soup. It is so good not greasy. Little hole in the wall spot. With authentic Mexican food. The salads and fajitas are great. The cocktails also, there's a TV and the staff are nice. One thing it's kinda hard to find and the parking read more

Good authentic food friendly service, nice staff. Nicely priced, will definitely go back.

Unassuming, authentic Mexican restaurant. Food is good, large portions, and price is reasonable. Their homemade corn tortillas are the best.

We ended up here when Chapala was closed right after the new year. Clearly other people had the same problem as the restaurant was packed. The service was very slow, only 2 waitresses for the whole restaurant but they were very nice. It's not that quiet in the restaurant and when they speak softly it's hard to hear them. The food was mediocre at best. The chips were like crispy cardboard, but the salsa was tasty but watery. The enchiladas were fairly decent but the taco also had a crispy cardboard shell and was loaded with sour cream which I can't eat being lactose intolerant. I don't think the menu said it had sour cream on it. the chili relleno was the worst I've ever been served. The chili was like shoe leather (when it should have been extremely soft) and the cheese was like a block of rubber. The beans were good, but the rice was pale and bland. I just don't think there's any excuse for there to be mediocre Mexican food in this region. read more

After having slept with 2 very vocal bears in the mountains and having traversed 10 miles in less than 24 hrs, friend and I were hungry... Ojai had a spot and we didn't feel like paying 19.99 for rice and beans so in search of authentic Mexican cuisine, we followed the nicely paved road to quaint and quiet Santa Paula. Friendly staff, fresh carrot + orange juice, 10 min wait and proceeded to enjoy the excellent weather and meal in the shady (no pun intended) veterans park. Will be back! read more

Decent food, good service, and reasonable prices. Interior is a little rundown and seats are ripped; could use a remodel or upgrade.

Small place. Ordered birria soup and mole combination to go. Both were amazing. Goat birria is hard to find, most places use beef but it's not the same. This is the real deal. Mole poblano was very good too. I even thought the refried beans were extra tasty. I would definitely come back here. read more

Delicious food and such great portions. The wait staff were all amazing and the place was a nice mix of chill but great for a family dinner or date. read more

The food is a 3 but the service is a 5, so I averaged it out to a 4. Came here with the fam after mass and the place was popping. We got seated after checking in with the back counter, and the waitress was quick to take our order. We split some carne asada fries and supreme nachos among the four of us, and my dad also got a couple of tacos. He was pleasantly surprised by the amount of meat he had on the tacos, and they're well-priced at $1.75 each. We were disappointed by the supreme nachos, which we ordered with al pastor. It was dry and the meat wasn't as flavorful as we'd hoped. It had cotija cheese and retried beans along with some lettuce (we asked for no sour cream). The tortilla chips themselves good and they give you free chips and salsa too, but the nachos weren't that tasty. The carne asada fries were relatively better but also still not the best. The fries were thick cut and also was a bit dry. It's a good option for a sit down restaurant with friendly service, but just know that the food leaves a bit to be desired. Parking is easy as there's free street parking as well as a lot in the back. They'll bring the check to you, as the counter was for all the to-go orders. They do take credit cards. read more
