    Ok Santa Clarita Yelpers, so after visiting Hilarios Tacos for the first time yesterday, I come to find out that they have / had a local Taco Truck out here in SC. Talk about supporting a local, up and coming business. In the past, this location was ran by another Mexican Enterprise which failed the neighborhood, Hilarios Tacos took it over and it's a complete 180 degrees from what it was. That being said, I ordered a shrimp burrito, a Carnitas wet burrito and a shredded beef taco and they were outstanding. Not only was everything in the burrito flavorful but the taco was excellent as well. There's nothing better when everything has flavor and you don't bite into something that has no seasoning. I'm looking forward to a return visit very soon. The portions are perfect and the prices are on point and average for Santa Clarita, however the flavors will stand out. The people that run the place come across very nice and are appreciative of customers. When you walk in don't be spooked about those big monitors not having a menu, hopefully they get that fixed soon but they will hand you a paper menu and there are lots of yummy options! Certainly worth giving them a shot.

    We still order from here at least twice a week! Everything is delicious. The tacos and salsa are our favorite.

    Crispy fries were perfect. Dipping in the avocado salsa is the way to go.

    Stopped here after a hike. Had 3 chicken tacos with avocado and 4 kinds of salsa. The food was so good that we then ordered fries. The fries were crispy and just awesome. Dipping the fries in the avocado salsa was delicious. Had to then get a Mexican coke to wash it all down. I'd definitely recommend this place. Next time I'll try the steak tacos for sure.

    So bomb!

    Always hits! Everything is always prepared as expected with good customer service. I take my family whenever they're in town. We all love it so much.

    This unsuspecting spot is a true hidden gem for Mexican food in Santa Clarita. We passed by it without a second thought, and now we're wondering how we ever did. We were a little skeptical at first, but that disappeared the moment we tried the tacos asada--full of flavor and perfectly done. The wet burrito was unapologetically wet, rich, and absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly, the vibe welcoming, and even the baby was a fan. Easy five stars. If you're anywhere nearby, this place is well worth the stop.

    Great little hidden gem! The service was fast and courteous, especially from the cashier, who was so sweet! The food was amazing, so juicy!

    Best tacos I've had in CA. I was skeptical of the almost 5 star rating but they live up to it. All of the sauces are 10/10.

They are a bit out of our way, and while good, nothing there was so spectacular that I would make a special trip for it, but it was good. They are located in a strip mall location, very non-descript, and the build out is basic but clean. My daughter had described it as a "hole in the wall, but good food" restaurant. That's pretty accurate. We were greeted immediately and in a very friendly manner as soon as we entered. It seemed slow for a Friday night, but we were on the early side. We were seated at a table and brought water, chips and salsa right away. The salsa is thin and spicy, and had a good tasted to it. My wife ordered a Cadillac margarita, and I ordered a regular. The drinks were a generous pour, and they didn't scrimp on the tequila. The Grand Marnier was brought in a shot glass. Both my wife and I enjoyed our drinks. My chile relleno combo was very good, some of the biggest freakin' chiles I've seen. They tasted great and were served piping hot with rice and beans. We were visited several times by ownership. The service was top rate and very friendly. So...not enough for me to return, but that's only because of distance from our house. We have our usual place 3 minutes away, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be a first choice for you.

I only saw a bar tender who doubled as a server, and one busman in the front of house. I don't know how many were in the back, but this explains why the wait was so very long. Once seated, it was another 15 minutes to get our orders in. Once the food arrived, it was served hot as expected. My friend's chicken chipotle was delicious but my birria wasn't great. There wasn't much of it, and what was there was largely tasteless. I was given two tortillas which wasn't enough. Their salsa was outstanding though! I wanted more of that and practically drank it. Unfortunately, given my experiences, I won't go back. Management needs to hire some employees so the wait won't be so long.

We didn't get around to try any food during our visit. Unfortunately, the patio experience was ruined by a rat that stayed directly behind our table against the railing for almost our entire visit. We had to be the ones to ask to switch tables to get away from it, and while the staff apologized, no effort was made to compensate for the disruption. Many others noticed the pest and either left or tried to get the staff to handle it. What made it frustrating is that I've sat on the patio at Gus's literally four feet away dozens of times and have never seen a single pest. The pest presence here isn't just "being outdoors"--it's a clear management and sanitation issue that needs to be addressed. Decent spot for cheap drinks, but I wouldn't sit on the patio again until they get this under control and train staff on better customer recovery.

(It did look like they had heaters outside though - not too sure if they were turned on). We were seated around 7:40 and we had two waiters. We asked what the margarita flavors of the day were, and they had hibiscus, jicama cucumber, and a jalapeño pineapple. I opted for the jalapeño pineapple, while my partner got the Sabor. For appetizers we ordered the trio dip and taquitos. For entrees, we ordered the al pastor street tacos, and Enchiladas Sabor. For dessert we ordered the nutella filled churros. I believe our bill was around $135. Pros: everything came out so quickly! Drinks were LARGE. Timing of the food: Drinks were out in five minutes, appetizers in ten mins of ordering, and entrees in fifteen minutes of ordering. The service was also great. Our waiter came in and checked on us, but wasn't overbearing. The quality of the food was also great. I kept saying everything felt very elevated and a great place to go for a nice dinner. I did not do any research before coming here. This was a place that my partner chose, so the two comments that I made (which I later found out was also commonly noted on Yelp) was that the Chips & Salsa were not free, and that my enchiladas did not come with rice and beans. Typically, when I go out for Mexican food, there are certain things I look forward to, so I was a little thrown off that they weren't provided here. The trio dip was a great option because it did have a bean dip as well as salsa, but it was just a bummer that it was an extra charge. Overall: great service, quality of food, very efficient, and plenty of parking.
