I've been coming to Hector's Mexican Food for a while now and realized I never actually left a review. The staff are always incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they consistently make you feel like a valued customer every time you walk in. The food is just as impressive. Everything I've had there has been fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. It's one of those places where you know you're going to get a great meal every time. Great people, incredible food, and a place I'll keep coming back to. Definitely one of my favorite spots! read more

2/2/2026 3:30pm. WOW!! If you want to be treated like ABSOLUTE TRASH by all means come here. I CANNOT remember being treated SO rudely for absolutely no reason. I was one of Hectors biggest fans until today. Came in. I was literally the only person there. Ordered two tacos to eat there. The older incredibly RUDE lady began packing up my order and I said I was eating there. She angrily snapped at me. "Did you say so when you ordered". I said "Yes". Then things got even worse when I had the audacity to ask for ONE extra salsa. Just one. She immediately began talking CRAP about me (RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME) in Spanish. BIG mistake. While I might look like a gringa, I grew up in Mexico. I am Mexican. Spanish is my first language. How dare she start talking crap about me for politely asking for one extra salsa REALLY!!!! I understood every grunt of vile disgust coming from her. Hector, we have met. We've talked. We've laughed when I told you you needed to serve beer. You can see my previous review. HOW CAN YOU LET THIS HAPPEN???? I would tell absolutely everyone about your amazing tacos. NOT ANY MORE. I am so disgusted. She thought I was white and she could disrespect me because I wouldn't understand and you weren't there. Are you serious??? This is what you allow to represent your business. You raise your prices and allow your staff to trash talk the customers. Mind blown. Loyal customer LOST. I UNDERSTAND THE WORLD IS CRAZY RIGHT NOW BUT THIS WAS LITERALLY REVERSE RACISM. SHE CLEARLY HATES WHITE PEOPLE. IN THIS ECONOMY. YEAH, HATING WHITE PEOPLE IN CAMARILLO, NOT GREAT FOR BUSINESS. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!!! read more

Busy as HEAVEN after church on Sundays but worth the wait! Delicious burritos de asada and tacos.

Second time ordering food from Hector's and it did not disappoint. Very reasonable prices!!! I only wish I had ordered more salsa verde for my super burrito lol. I got the shredded chicken burrito and my boyfriend got the asada burrito. Both were really good but I would choose the shredded chicken any day. The burrito is huge too! I split it up into 3 separate meals lol. The salsa verde is really good as well! Highly recommend the salsa verde on any food options from here. The salsa roja is pretty spicy so beware. Both times we went, we got asada fries and it has become a must order for us. And usually went end up so full we save it for the next day and they are still as good when we reheat them. The people here are always very nice and helpful! They have outdoor seating which we loved. It's never too hot in Camarillo so it's always a good day to eat outdoors. Can't wait to eat here again! read more

They have yummy chili verde! Their food is super good! Their burritos and quesadillas are my favorites, also really love the carne asada and carnitas both of these are good in burritos and in quesadillas You can also order for pick up read more

Was following this place on Yelp for a while. Got the asada burrito. The meat had a little too much tendon on it for me. Chips were good. I'll have to try different meat next time. Friendly service. Limited indoor seating. read more

It's ok. I don't want to knock a local business. But for the quality and price I would go to Establos or Potrillos instead (two local businesses just down the cornerl). Everything is additional here. It's 12.95 for a "great super burrito" and that doesn't come with sour cream or chips if you're taking it to go (that's extra). On top of that the meat was just ok. It had the essence of a taqueria burrito but didn't hit the same. The Al pastor was missing a depth to it and my brother noted the Asada was ok even suggesting liquid smoke was used to get a Smokey flavor. I did try their shrimp taco which was good but $5.50 for one taco is getting close to a whole meal at innout for a few dollars more. Granted shrimp is expensive. Glad there are folks who do like it to keep local businesses going. But it wasn't for me. read more

My favorite burrito in Ventura County (high praise with so many great spots). A super nice staff and great quick service every visit. I can't wait to go back to this little gem. read more

Flavorless. I ordered chicken flautas and they were inedible. Biggest waste of almost $11 ever spent. Threw them away.

After seeing the amazing reviews this Mexican spot had I had to come try it. Unfortunately the food I tried I did not like very much! The flavor was not there for me personally. This is decent Mexican food but if you have had great mexican food I would try another place. I had an al pastor quesadilla and it was very greasy. It is a huge portion but I could not finish it because it was not to my liking. It is nice they offer sour cream and they do have lots of seating. Service was pretty quick as well. read more

Customer service was good, tacos are big portions, good flavor, size able and they give you chips which is nice. read more

They switched their beef to a cheaper cut. It's gone way down hill. I used to love this place, but cutting corners lost my future business.

What great food in a very off putting building. But that's Ok, it's exactly perfect in many ways as it is. Inconsistent comment? Yep, sure is, but many will understand. Between us we had a carnitas burrito, one of the best every, perfect in every way, and three chicken tacos that did not skip on the chicken and not a nasty piece to be found. And even the jamaica was not an afterthought and not sugary sweet as most are for my taste, it was just a bit tart. Might be the best I've had. The service is spot on, I had the impression they actually, really truly cared about the product and that you were happy with it. I might suggest they take a pressure washer to the oust side tables and patio area, but on the other it ain't broke so don't fix. read more

The burrito is genuinely so good. The meat is very delicious. No complaints the only complaint i have is that they dont put sour cream in their burritos. The asada fries is delicious and LOADED. I recommend coming here read more

Update #3 Today had the grilled chicken burrito with avocado and it was good with the only issue it did not have any pico de gallo. While I was eating thinking it was missing something. Next time I will make sure they put pico de gallo. Unless they changed the recipe. All good read more

Great little restaurant with plenty of seats to sit inside or outside and enjoy the meal. First off, the staff were really friendly. Nicely flavored carne asada super burrito, delish in the right ways! Not to mention they offered salsa verde & salsa roja too. Wish the verde had more of a kick to it, felt a little watered down for me. I did like the roja more in terms of flavor. I loved the addition of the avocado & salsa. I enjoyed how they had burrito options w/out rice because I have been trying to cut more carbs out of my diet. Shoutout to the workers prepping the food in the back because they were amazing in delivering my request of sauce, lime, & onions too! read more

The tacos were delicious. It is a takeout-style place, and I was able to get in and out relatively quickly. You definitely get your money's worth. read more

I had the super burrito with carne asada and I was not disappointed! The carne asada was phenomenal-- tender, juicy, and rich in flavor. The pinto beans were perfectly cooked and the tortilla was fresh. Add in some guacamole, pico de gallo, cheese and that's it! A shout out to their hot sauce -- the perfect pairing to the burrito. Total was $11 with tax. Last year I would have said that this was overpriced, but everything is more expensive these days and the quality justifies the price. Service was friendly and my burrito was ready in a few minutes. Saving this to my favorites for the next time I'm passing through Camarillo. read more

Truly the best! It's my go to Mexican food in Camarillo - highly recommend the Super Burrito with Carne Asada. Also, the shrimp taco's go insanely hard! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a proper bite to eat. read more

Listen, as a Mexican trying to find legit tacos in Camarillo...it's damn near impossible...BUT HECTORS got it right! Their asada is delicious. You can really tell it's high quality meat. Let me also just add, those frijoles! Bomb. I wish they had chorizo though. That would be the only downside of this place! I had the horchata too and that was crisp. I'm literally watering at the mouth just thinking about their food and it's been a week since I've had it. 100% recommend if you are having a taco craving. read more

I was in the area and Yelped for a great taco shop. Hector's was authentic and looked the part. I will go 4 stars as my Carne Asada Super burrito was very light on the avocado and much more beans than meat. The meat was tasty and they have good salsa. For the $12 or so for the burrito, it would have been a 5 star if the meat and avocado ratio were higher. Worth the stop and close to the freeway. read more

Excellent food with great portions and made to order. Very helpful and salsa was terrific. We will definitely be coming back read more

Had one bite of the burrito. Chicken was cold. Didn't eat the taco as it was loaded with beans. I've never had beans that were added to a taco. Menu is to the side, not In front where you order your food, and hard to read, beans were also under cooked. Quesadilla was greasy. Green salsa has no spice at all. Owner called me babe. I'm not your babe. You don't know me. Won't be back. Building is in an old Taco Bell which back in the day had better food than this read more

Moved from California a few years ago and real Mexican food was something I really missed. Ordered a bit of everything and my whole family was happy, no small feat. Burritos and tacos were a hit, and the best was the carne asada fries. Super friendly service, highly recommended for anyone looking for awesome takeout. read more

Last second decision to eat lunch! And glad Hector's was right down the street! I knew from the first bite of my chip! I love their chips! Also had 2 of the best chicken tacos I've had in a long time! Trust me it's good. read more

We have heard nothing but great things about Hector's so we decided to stop in. They did not disappoint. The super burrito and super quesadilla were delicious. Their carne asada is probably the best in town when it comes to getting a burrito. Very moist and has a ton of flavor. We heard the tacos are great too so we will be back for those. We sat on the patio and enjoyed our meal. Cool spot for a quick lunch. The food is delicious and the workers are friendly. read more

The food here is the best Mexican food I've ever had. We have been here a lot but this time was especially perfect! We tried some different meats: Al pastor, carne asada, y carnitas. It was all so good. All meat so juicy and tender, but had a nice crust for a good bite. The fries with pastor is my favorite. The drinks are also HUGE and the best horchata and jamica I've had. The service is amazing, the owner himself was there and told us that he really appreciates our business. He was professional, caring & fast. Good at what he does for sure. The place itself has good parking & the inside is perfect for the vibe. Old school Spanish music & the sound of meats cooking. You have to try it! read more

So glad we have Hectors in Camarillo. Their asada fries slap when you're craving it. Service is always friendly and fast.

Best authentic burritos in town! All ingredients are fresh and the salsa is so good. We love to mix both the red and green salsa. Don't feel like having a burrito, try the 50/50 flautas! read more

I've been to Hectors several times and love it! Tacos and burritos are great and Kasa-Dillers as well! I wish they had crispy taco shells and refried beans, otherwise one of the best in Camarillo for price, quality, authenticity and portions-Shredded chicken burrito will likely be my next meal here! read more

Wanted a hearty burrito for lunch and this place popped up in my Yelp. I ordered a carne Assad burrito with beans, rice and cheese and a medium horchata. Definitely hit the spot I had leftovers thats how big it was . Didn't catch the the name of gentleman who took my order but he was helpful and friendly. I know there are tons of Mexican restaurants in Ventura county but this is one to try. Small menu but great food. read more

This place is not it. I got an asada burrito it was not good. And the service wasn't either. Also the place doesn't look very clean. Kinda sketchy to have even tried the place but I'm new to the area and just looking for good food. read more

needed a fast stop near the 101 on the way out of LA - really great fast vegan burrito!! the woman who made my burrito was also very kind!

Got food poisoning from the asada/pastor fries. I woke up in the middle of the night and was sick to the stomach and I was vomiting all night and had to go to the ER read more

What in the world are Camarillo people talking about? I was so excited to try this place given all the positive reviews. I'm at a complete loss here, of apparently both mind and flavor. I had a carne asada burrito that left me wondering if I had lost my sense of taste because it was the blandest, most flavorless burrito I've ever had. I asked for salsa which was no help. I think the only thing I could taste were the watery pinto beans floating around this loosely wrapped burrito. It's a tiny taco shop inside, with limited standing and seating room. That's this critic's review. read more

I'm my Keith Lee Voice... I give a 9.5 out of 10. The meat was steak asada meat was very flavorful. I tried the super asada tacos with a side of beans and rice. Two thumbs up. They offer military discounts as well... yeee! Plenty of parking in the rear and outdoor seating in the front. read more
