    Chilaquiles with Asada
    Kathy G.

    I've been here 4 times, later tonight it'll be my 5th and I have not been disappointed once! The food taste is consistent! Starting with the chips and salsa, tasty green salsa! I especially recommend the Al Pastor tacos and Quesabirria tacos! Yum yum yum! They chilaquiles with Asada are also bombizzy! Enchiladas are good as well! Great hospitality and attention, Home vibes! The ambiance is chill and relaxed!

    Mojará
    Marcy M.

    Chile relleno is different (not what I'm used to)but was soo good. A huge chile stuffed with cheese. I love how they don't skimp out on the cheese. The agua de pepino is amazing too and always refreshing. Mojará was delicious as well. We were not disappointed! The waitress were super nice as well.

    Michelada

    BEST MICHELADA's anywhere! The food is great, the service is great, but the michelada's are off the chain! It's the perfect blend that leaves you wanting the next drink. Love the outdoor vibe, with a true Mexico feel.

    Pozole

    Customer service and food on point I would definitely would recommend this family owned spot. Pozole and menudo are definitely a hit

    We sat outside in the cute atmosphere with the beautifully carved and painted tables and chairs. The weather was beautiful and our service was sweet. We ordered soft carne asada tacos,soft al pastor tacos, soft chicken tacos, crispy carne asada tacos and soft carnitas tacos. The meat was juicy and flavorful. The tortillas were perfectly cooked and we loved the green salsa. Beyond happy with our visit and can't wait to come back and get some more tacos

    Dear Hubby and I stopped in after running errands on a Thursday early evening. They had Thursday…read moreNight Football on, which meant that we could stay and eat our dinner until half time, then head home. When we arrived, about 6 p.m., we were the only ones in the place. The young cashier at the register immediately sprang to duty when we walked in. He greeted us and offered to answer any questions we had about the established menu items, or the daily specials. His friendliness was probably the best part of the visit. The dining room is clean and bright; not really decorated in any particular style, which is too laissez faire for my taste. In thinking about why I didn't enjoy it more, I reflect on Snapper Jack's Taco Shack in T.O., for an example of what an inviting, fun atmosphere can be. Urban Taco's ambiance is bland, very vanilla. The food turned out to be only okay. We didn't know how big the tacos would be, or if anything came on the side. After we ordered one taco apiece, the cashier suggested that most people got for at least two tacos, as they aren't that large. I decided to order a gyro for us to split, as it was more than double the price of a taco, so I figured it would be more substantial. My salmon taco with mango salsa was just so-so. The salmon was dried out and didn't have much flavor to add to the mix. The gyro which DH and I split was more satisfying, taste-wise. The cucumber sauce upped the flavor profile. The meat, while tasty, and tender, was lacking in quantity. Unlike the aforementioned Snapper Jack's, which offers either a side of rice & beans, or a handful of chips, plus a generous salsa bar with accompaniments as part of each order, Urban Taco just gives you a taco, or a gyro. No sides at all. That was disappointing. A few chips and some salsa would have been appropriate. I wasn't interested in any of their beverage options to purchase, so we went with complimentary water flavored with lemon and cucumber. Overall, not the best value in town. Not "expensive", but for only the listed items and no sides, lacking in satisfaction. I don't think we'll be rushing back.

    Tried Urban tacos for the first time and honestly it's the best tacos in simi yet. (Restaurant…read moretacos) Wish they had some of the other meats like carnitas or lengua. But they do have salmon and shrimp. The restaurant tho it's nice and modern isn't very comfy, the ambiance is kinda cold. Service was great, tho we were the only ones there. I did feel it was a bit pricey but will definitely go back again I want to try their Menudo

There is ample parking. No problem finding a spot close by. Once we entered the restaurant, the server asked if we were ordering takeout. I let him know we walked to dine in. He told us to grab a seat and brought menus. There is a limited alcoholic drink selection - beers and margaritas. The margaritas are legit! Tasty and strong, just how we like them. We were super impressive with the quality and freshness of the food. You could tell that the tortillas were homemade. My husband got the carne asada plate. He loved it! I tried a bite of his taco - delicious! I ordered the Huarache which is a tortilla stuffed with beans and a good selection of toppings. I got the carne asada. I added avocado to my dish too. Additionally, we ordered a side of guacamole too. The guacamole and salsa come with chips. If there is one thing I would change, the chips. They seemed store brought. I might be spoiled after eating everything else that was so delicious made. Definitely will be back! Excited to try more too.

    My friends and I came here for dinner the other night and I was absolutely blown away by this spot…read more Visually, it's a stunning place and they've done a fabulous job with the aesthetic as it's the kind of place that feels like a party. Neon lights, cute signage, and overall they just did a really great job with the design and execution. There's a lot going on but it doesn't feel cheap. Ambiance is definitely A+. For dinner on a weeknight we found this spot wasn't too busy but we also came after happy hour. It was a relaxed vibe. Service was overall pretty good. I felt like all of the gals working were very very sweet and nice. Also, anytime we stopped them to ask for refills and such we got what we asked for. That's my only upgrade as since it wasn't super busy, it would have been nice for the staff to catch the refills on water or salsa on their own/more proactively but hey, it was again a relaxed lowkey night and the staff couldn't have been lovelier. I'm just curious how the service would be if they were super busy? Now on to the food and drinks. The menu was very impressive! Solid cocktail and drinks menu. I'm bummed I didn't get a cocktail but my party doesn't drink so it was more fun to get an agua Fresca with them. The guava one was good and served nicely chilled. However, next time I'll definitely get a cocktail because their drinks looked fun and beautiful. The food was definitely the standout for me. I ordered the cheese enchiladas Suizas and they were a 10/10. Not comparable to most enchiladas I've had but the sauce was fantastic and unique. I really loved these enchiladas and I'd honestly get them again. Solid flavor in the rice and beans as well. My friends also enjoyed their meal and it seemed like everyone was happy. The pricing is a little steep for Mexican food but also the ambiance and presentation make sense to me why it'd be a little more. For the three of us the bill was over $100. And that's for three mains and three non-alcoholic drinks. Normally at $33-ish a person I'd hope for at least a beer with my enchiladas, so keep that in mind. As a special occasion place or a spot to celebrate this spot is truly fantastic. I honestly loved my meal so much that even with the price point I'd rush back and bring more friends because this spot is vibey. Nice staff and a cute spot to diner, 5 stars in my books given the quality, taste of the food and the overall experience.

I saw the margarita flight and knew I had to try it, especially since it was my first time. They were all delicious and tasty. I would definitely order again. They had their garnish game on point. I also saw they had a taco flight. I knew I had to try those as well. I wanted to try all the different meat options to find the flavors I like. The Birria taco was my favorite flavor. Some of the meats were a little dry. I wish they had a little more flavor to them. They gave me two different salsas to add and that helped. But I would definitely like to see the flavors of the tacos improve. I always crave sushi. That was a must try for me. I thought I would try the fiesta mariachi roll for the first trip here. It was delicious. I'm craving more! I think next time I will have to try some of the other sushi options since this one was so good. Also since they basically have flights for everything..... I would love to have a sushi platter flight... with my margarita flight! I will definitely go back. I can't wait to try more menu items. The staff was all very attentive and friendly.

Five of us dined and everyone loved their food! We started with shredded beef nachos which were wonderful! The chili verde, chicken enchiladas and asada plate were all a hit! I personally could not wait to order the chicken mole' enchiladas (I LOVE mole' and heard theirs was amazing) BUT THEY RAN OUT! So disappointed! That's all I wanted, never even looked at the menu! It's not even 7pm yet? Why oh why do you not have enough for the Friday night rush!!?? When our waitress came back to to tell me they ran out of it, (she was very sweet and apologetic) and she had already put everyone's order in - I had no idea what I wanted ‍ so I ordered a chicken taco which didn't come out until about 5-10 minutes after everyone else's food was served. Other than that snag (my reason for the 4 stars not 5) their food is awesome! I'm definitely wanting to come back for the mole' and highly recommend coming here!
