    2 Enchiladas de Camaron

    The meal was absolutely delicious! started off with the Botana de Camaron San Pedro Guisada con Cascara and the shrimp was soooo flavorful in that dish! Also can't beat the $6.95 margaritas that also taste pretty good. By the time my entree arrived I was already pretty satisfied from the chips and appetizer but I managed to eat half and have some nice leftovers.

    The food is so delicious. The prices are cheap compared to other seafood restaurants. Since my first time here 1 month ago I have been there 4 times. They serve food after midnight, the live dj music and karaoke is entertaining. The service is excellent and margaritas are $6.95 and good! Love it here!

    The best shrimp tacos

    I love coming down here! From their plate of camarones a la Diabla to their shrimp tacos are very flavorful. Also they're very quick on serving the food so if you're hungry no problem!

    Best places ever, Tommy best customer service, I recommend the shrimp cocktail, they aren't shy with the shrimp and it tastes amazing.

    Came early on Valentine's Day to beat the crowds and to try the Molcajete. A shared meal seemed like a good idea of the occasion and it was delicious. Music was a. It high for 4:45 pm and 4 tables full at the time. Service started great but waitress was on her phone a bit too much. Will come back.

From the moment your plate hits the table, you can tell you're in for something special. The burrito is massive, perfectly wrapped, and completely smothered in a rich, flavorful sauce that strikes that ideal balance between bold and comforting. Every bite is loaded with well-seasoned meat, fresh ingredients, and just the right amount of cheese melted over the top. What really sets Las Fuentes apart is the depth of flavor. The sauce isn't just an afterthought--it's the star, tying everything together with a savory, slightly tangy kick that keeps you coming back for more. The rice and beans on the side are just as impressive, clearly made with care and not just filler on the plate. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the overall experience feels authentic and satisfying. Whether you're a wet burrito lover or trying one for the first time, this spot will raise your standards. Las Fuentes isn't just good--it's the kind of place you start craving the second you leave. The inside has a great Spanish decor.

A small side of guacamole was laughable. They served it in the container for salsas. Save your money and go elsewhere. There are other choices out there. Or pay a little more and go to Salsa and Beer down the street. Counter service food. No thank you.

I'm not sure whose idea that was but give that person a raise, it's so convenient to not have to hand my card over to a server and then sign the receipt.

To my surprise, it's definitely worth going in. As you walk in, they have a smoothie/fresh drinks area. On the left side, they have the ordering window. Since being my first time there, I ordered several items. We ended up ordering menudo which was tasty and not fatty. It came with a side plate of spices (oregano, chile de arbol), sliced lemons, chopped onions, and cilantro. The chicken taquitos dorados (a la carte) were flavorful, tasty, and moist. There were also a bit larger than other locations. They were served on a bed of lettuce, half guacamole and half sour cream, and some cheese. Ordered Chilaquiles (verdes - choice of green or red). It came with rice, beans topped with shredded cheese, and 2 eggs (choice of over easy). It's a small place that feels like home away from home cooked meals. Overall, definitely coming back.

You can tell there's pride behind every plate that comes out of the kitchen. Beyond the food, the service is warm and welcoming.

Unfortunately, the prices have skyrocketed. I guess it's a sign of the times like a lot of places. S&B used to be known for good Mexican food at an affordable price. The food is still delicious (I love their beans and bean dip, and my bf really likes their rice). Just not in love with these prices. To get the most value, if you order one of the burritos, you can easily split it into two meals because they're pretty big. Got the chicken fajita burrito and had half for lunch yesterday and today. Suddenly, an almost $25 burrito turns into a couple of lunches for under $15.

Let's start off with location wise it's very centrally located in the valley so you can get to it fairly quick. Parking was not it's best. It is on Ventura Blvd so street parking is very difficult. They do have onsite parking in the back but there's only about 5 spots only and it seems like most of them are take either by staff or delivery vehicles. Now walking into this place you are def transported into a very lively Mexican culture that is undeniably amazing. I loved the decor and how you just feel at home. They are playing music the whole time loud enough for you to feel the vibes but still be able to have conversations. Now the food let me just say 10/10.

The steak a little well done for my liking. Enchiladas verde: 9/10 great portion honestly enough for two to share. Rice and beans were okay. Beans a bit salty and rice was a bit bland.
