Ok every taco I ever consume I compare to Tacos805 in Simi. I compare the flavor and the service (both of which are excellent). While bad ass did have tasty tacos, the service was not so great. When I walked in, I was treated as if why are you here and what do you want? I even spoke in Spanish because I am bilingual. She just stared and blinked. Do not plan on returning. I wonder if the owners are aware how poor the service is. read more

If half stars were a thing, I'd give these guys 3.5 stars. (Was on a work trip and yelped to find some food recs... and landed here. ) 1. 3 Breakfast Tacos item- good protein options. I got 1 lechon/carnitas, and 2 chorizo. (He was nice enough to let me have 2 choices. ) Flour or corn tortillas. These were decent. The egg was meh, but there were diced potatoes. The 3 tacos were good for me. Didn't come with anything else. Both meats were good. 2. Breakfast chilaquiles - added steak. These were good. You had the option of green or red sauce. We would come back. read more

Always a solid options for a quick meal at a decent price. The restaurant is clean with a few spots to sit inside and plenty of seating on the patio outside. The Al Pastor is my favorite, and the taco de papa is a good choice as well. Love the chips and guacamole and the selection of different salsas. There's street parking in front and a small lot in the back. read more

No joke. These tacos are bad ass. Everything was so fresh!! Probably the best pastor taco Ive ever had with perfectly diced pineapple. I will be thinking about this place for awhile. It will be our new spot on the way home. read more

Place has really gone down in quality and gone up on greessssingggg everything up right before you get it handed to you. Always, almost always the doors are wide open with flies, bees, etc all in. Not sure how that's not a health hazard. Anyways the food used to be good, it's just meh with a slap of oil. Clearly this place isn't being ran by a family anymore. read more

Bad Ass Street Tacos - Shrimp tacos - Tacos Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

A few friends of mine had been telling me to try out Bad Ass Street Tacos and I finally made it with a friend for lunch. I love their space and decor! Super cute, colorful and welcoming. Their donkey logo is silly and loved the murals painted throughout the place. They have a small indoor seating area but their outdoor patio is where it's at! Shaded and comfortable it was the popular spot to sit for lunch. Julisa the cashier and server was super lovely. She made us feel welcome and was prompt in getting our order taken and out to us. She was lovely and deserves her own kudos. I also found the prices to be reasonable enough. This isn't a hole in the wall cheap spot per se but for Thousand Oaks I would say it was reasonably priced. The menu had all of the classics from tacos, burritos, ceviche, and more. I like that you can get any main dish with whichever choice of protein you would like. My friend went with the ceviche and a taco, and I went with the guacamole and some tacos. We had a good variety to be able to say we tried some of the popular items on their menu. My favorite bites of the day were definitely the guacamole and chips as a starter and my grilled fish taco. As simple as guacamole and chips are, the guacamole was fresh and was primarily avocado, which I love not a lot of filler of onion/tomatoes... You know what I mean. Out of the tacos I tried, I would say the grilled fish had the best flavor and their homemade tortillas are bomb. Surprisingly, the meats weren't my favorite and I don't think I'd get the asada or Pastor again. Maybe I like a more authentic or fat year piece of meat but these were just OK. My friend said the same thing, her Taco was OK but she much preferred her ceviche and chips. Seems like the kind of place we'd come back for an Agua Frescas and some appetizers to split. Glad we tried the place, the service was really good and it's definitely a cute atmosphere. There are a better taco options in the area, but I could see why this place is popular for business men and women on their lunch break. read more

Short rib tacos are delicious. They won't do a protein style plate which I asked for, instead made me pay for the tacos and just didn't put the tortilla. I would be ok with this but it seemed the meat they gave was less than if they were to actually put it on the taco. For that reason alone I cannot give 5 stars. read more

Too salty. Too much MSG. Buy quality can't be over compensated with salt. Las Agaves much better

I have been to Bad Ass many times and really enjoy the Tacos here, as the Burritos are simply overpriced now after price increases... I am a CEO of a company that consults to Restaurants on Marketing, Technology POS systems, and Sales skills so know the industry well... The place was well run with friendly and focused staff until about a year ago when they started to hire really dysfunctional Gen Z dudes that can NOT seem to focus, flow, make proper change, and there is no "focus factor" of listening for a few seconds to get the order right, they always force you to repeat what you said 2-3 times, when I only order 2 tacos & a water cup.... Then the new Manager heard me get upset with the dysfunctional pretend cashier, and instead of correcting or helping him focus, told me that I can't correct him by telling him if he doesn't focus he looks kind of stupid... then I realized the Manager is the fool who hired this jelly brain Gen Z and gave him no real training... this is like a Bar Rescue TV show episode now, so order ahead online and skip the cashier experience! (this is why so many places are going to self-serv kiosks and AI drive-through ordering now) read more

Bad Ass Street Tacos - Tacos Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

For the low, low price of $67.92, Badass Street Tacos will gladly serve you a regular fountain drink, an average carne asada quesadilla, carne asada nachos packed with stale chips and what looked like chili beans?, four al pastor tacos, and a small shrimp burrito with extra cheese--and somehow make you regret every dollar of it. If miniature burritos are your thing, you're in luck. Mine came small enough to qualify as an appetizer, and the carne asada throughout the meal had that special rubbery texture that lets you chew, and chew, and question your life decisions. The al pastor? Dry enough to pass for museum-grade. The corn tortillas were thick, bland, and required the kind of effort usually reserved for wilderness survival training. As for trying to actually interact with the staff, don't get your hopes up. The cashier and every employee behind the counter seem to stand with their backs to customers at all times. If you're hoping to ask for extra salsa, napkins, or anything at all, get ready to raise your voice--or wave your arms--because you'll be invisible otherwise. The music so loud you can barely hear yourself chewing on that asada. And to top it all off, there are no prices on the menu. When asked, the cashier simply explained that the cost of the meat "is always changing." Convenient. And don't worry about leftovers--there won't be any. Not because the food is irresistible, but because you'll be done with it long before packing anything to go becomes an option. Badass Street Tacos lives up to its name, just not in the way you'd hope. If you're hungry for disappointment, this is the spot. read more

The meats on the tacos were cold. The tortillas were warm but cold meats (ordered carne asada, (6) cold and tough, also ordered the short rib which was ok, very salty we also got the lengua (very greasy) Tried the spicy and mild salsas and both were like liquid salt. I don't know how people alive this place up to 4 stars. Very deciding reviews. I was really hoping for good tacos hence the name bad ass tacos but it was such a disappointment and waste of money. I wouldn't give it any star but I have to at least give one for complete this review. Kudos to those who loves this place. read more

Something definitely changed here, and not for the better! First the $9 chicken burrito got bumped to $14 (we paid $30 for 2 burritos) and the taste just isn't the same - for instance the rice was undercooked and hard on my recent burrito. We were one of the first customers at this location and seeing the recent decline is a huge bummer. Last week we placed a big order for dinner with visiting family and they forgot to put poor grandma's food in the bag. :-(. Sure we should have checked but they should have first. La Poblana is just up the way on Moorpark rd and absolutely slaps so that'll be the new spot.. Sad to see another great place raise prices and lower quality. read more

I looked online at the menu and I wanted to order a veggie burrito and it said it would be $9.75. So I called the store to order my food and it ring like 8 times and nobody answered. Then I called back a few minutes later and they put me on hold for three minutes. Whatever I ordered my food and said my burrito would be ready in 15 minutes. When I got there they rang up my burrito and it was $15.09! I said "oh online it says that it is $9.75 for a veggie burrito and I showed her on my phone that it said $9.75 for a veggie burrito. The incompetent girl looked at me and said, "no, it's $15.09" I said no it should be $9.75". She shrugged and rolled her eyes, and said, "I don't know. Maybe it's tax? Oh well". Stupid girl can't even do math. It doesn't cost $5.34 for even 8% tax. She charged me $15.09 for a $10 burrito and walked away from me. I said "you guys lie about your prices and I could've gotten this cheaper on DoorDash!" She dismissed me without even offering to ask the Manager about it. Ive never received such horrible customer service and just be aware they lie and their food sucks. read more

I was shopping all day and super hungry. A burrito sounded delicious so I hopped on Yelp and found this establishment. I read a review that said if you're perusing Yelp, look no further, so I ordered a burrito online for pickup. I received an email that it would be ready at 1:41. I picked it up at 1:51 and it was lukewarm at best. I was bummed, but in a hurry and it still tasted delicious and hit the spot. The place was poppin', so I'm glad I put my order in beforehand. It seemed like a great spot to hang out with friend and was welcoming. read more

This was our first time checking out this restaurant !! The place upon entry, was clean and smelled like fresh tortillas !! We were greeted by a sweet young lady, who was eager to take our order. We tried a smorgasbord of their street tacos including the Carne asada, Chicken, short rib, shrimp, and the Mahi Mahi! All of the tacos were seasoned nicely! The shrimp had a fruity, fresh, and sweet pop to its first bite making it the most exciting !! The fish was flaky and had a good flavour, but was a tad dry. Then came the Carne Asada which had plenty of seasoned and diced meat, however, it was a bit tough. Our chicken taco had a dry rub and a savoury bite which was light and spicy, with a citrus finish, but was not very juicy. We were delighted that our short rib taco was packed with shredded, juicy, and tender beef dripping with the chile / red wine marinade ! Overall, Bad Ass Street Tacos weren't bad after all ! Every taco had its own distinct signature bold taste, and yet, worked well together as an ensemble. Will definitely return to try other delicious items on the menu !! Cheers ! read more

Over the top tacos over here! Excellent service with a family friendly vibe. They sincerely care and making sure you're being taken care of. For the tacos they serve, let it speak for themselves. Amazing flavor and freshness on every bite. Super savory! We ordered Al pastor, lengua, asada and the best of all the lechon!!! Their salsas were also the star of the show! It makes every bite like fireworks happening in your mouth. Explosions of flavor! Their ceviche plate made an outlasting impression about this place. Quality and lots of love. We're definitely going back but next time we'll starve ourselves so we can consume more of their delicious, one of the best tacos on this side of the planet. read more

Excellent tacos in a warm, hip shop. The La Cochinita Pibil tacos are delightfully marinated and a true wonder. The Pollo and Carne Asada are both great. All the meats! Sitting patio side is fun. Do get the Habanero salsa with chips to warm you up through a winter night. The folks here are welcoming and friendly and it's all great. Enjoy! read more

Service was terrible - ordered two items at restaurant . Waited 25 minutes for a to go order and watch 6 people ordered after me and get their full orders. If u loose an order, just admit it. Stuff happens. Don't tell me you had two big orders ahead of me when I watched the first item be made, sitting on the counter for 15 minutes and then the second item is made only after I inquired about the status of the order. My first item was cold. Just be honest. read more

I've been coming here since they were just the little tent in the Hertz parking lot across the street, next to the Meat Locker. I kind of miss those days when they were cash only, and only open a couple nights a week, and just had the tacos, and they were CHEAP! But I still really like their food. Nowadays I most often get the salad, and each time I order it, I wonder if I'll regret not getting tacos instead, but then each time I'm amazed how GREAT the salad is! read more
