    bacon double smash burger
    Kayla W.

    The hot chicken sandwich is HOT. They really pile of the spice sometimes, it's crazy.

    Service was friendly and drinks were just all right. It's very hard to find drink spot where the Matcha is made right instead of just thrown in as powder or under whisked. Felt a little silly being in a beach house inspired place with country music playing so the ambience was a little bit confusing but very on brand for this part of town. They seemed really busy and lots of food orders so they've got to be doing something right! I will be back to try again!

    Love Makenna coffee so I stopped by the Beach House. Amazing prices and I adore the large selection of sauces! Also, the vibe of this restaurant is rare to find in Simi -- chill, but not boring! I loved the music they were playing and felt like a great place for a younger crowd to hang out! The staff were all teenagers and I think it's great to keep the vibe of Makenna young & fresh but if they could be a bit more inviting and attentive to customers that is my only critique! I had to wait a bit to get someone's attention to grab my food and ask a question.

    ITS FREEZING IN HERE . It will be wonderful in July , not so much in Decembrrrrr. Good thing i had a coat in the car . The tacos here are amazing! I had the Lonestar and the brisket was so incredibly tender . a tiny bit dry but nothing a little sauce didn't solve . The Pier is to die for teriyaki shrimp and pineapple the seasoning nicey spicey exactly how i like it ! I went back for seconds on the Pier . The shrimp was perfect not rubbery or overcooked . The only thing i would improve and i'll ask for next time , double tortilla on the Pier as it's pretty juicy and mine fell apart . It's a finger food so i indulged . For sure I'll be back to try the smash burgers and some of the other tacos . Loved it! Kate and Manny Peyton were terrific hosts ! Great staff here Kate gave great recommendations for dinner and Manny was on it for round 2 of the pier . Food came out really faster than expected . we will for sure be back!

    If you already like Makenna Koffee co, then you'll appreciate the new Makenna Beach House. Now you can grab your favorite drink and pair it with a solid meal, all at prices that feel really fair for what you get. I tried two tacos - vegan and shrimp. The shrimp taco was really good, and the salsa bar with multiple green sauces definitely leveled up the flavor. It's not the best tacos I've ever had, but it's tasty, filling, and perfect when you want something quick and easy. The space is clean, colorful, and casual with both indoor and outdoor seating. Service is fast, pay-at-the-counter style, and there's parking in the small plaza. Great for a quick lunch or dinner stop while getting your coffee fix.

    I walked in and it was immediately greeted by a friendly face. I got a coffee and my boyfriend got a burger and both were very yummy! This place is super cute inside and it is busy for a reason!

    California Smash Burger & Carne Asada Fries
    Jessica C.

    Establishment was clean, ordering was fast and easy but menu was small and can be hard to read if you don't have great eye sight. Food came out in minutes and had a big selection of sauces for your tacos or burgers. Initially came in for tacos and then realized that one taco for $4-$5 was outrageous so I got a smash burger because I thought the pricing was a bit more sensible. Smash burger is nothing to write home about and is smaller than it seems. Flavor tasted like my dad made something similar on his grill at home. Carne asada fries seems to also lack flavor but is the right amount of flavor for the people of Simi Valley. Thin cut fries with a weird imbalance of fries to sauce. I prefer half and half but they were really heavy on the toppings. Would come again if I really just needed a burger that wasn't in n out but I typically go to Makenna for their coffee. I'll come again to try out their burritos. TL;DR: the food is made appropriately for the demographic of Simi Valley.

    Cookie Butter Latte
    Seth M.

    Went to Makenna's to get some coffee and learned this place specifically is much more! I decided to get a cookie butter latte and it was pretty good! It had a good milky taste that was enhanced by a slight mix of cookie butter! The menu is pretty big and has a variety of items that I hope to try in the future!

    This place was recommended to me by my neighbor. So far I have only tried some of the coffee drinks. I enjoyed the blended drink I ordered. And it was reasonably priced. My neighbors ordered quite a few different tacos that smelled amazing. I will definitely be going back soon to try the food. The menu is so big. It's really hard to choose because there are so many items. Hopefully soon they will have a big menu to view. They were just taped up in the walls so it was hard to view with two people and look at them standing in line. I felt pressured to hurry up and order because of the set up. But the employees were very friendly and helpful. The salsa bar they had sounded awesome. They had quite a few to choose from. The flavors sounded great. The only thing I Didn't like is the salsa bar is not near the employees to kind of monitor. It's off to the side and completely open. It just kinda weirded me out. I will definitely go back to try some more menu items, food and coffee wise. I enjoy the nice outdoor seating they offer.

    Drink it up yo!

    The unflavored ice tea was delightful and no need to sugar to make it taste moe better. This place is well lit too

I cannot wait for them to get their Wine and Beer license so I can come here with my girlfriends; this would be great for all occasions. I would recommend this to anyone; it was very delicious. The place was very cozy and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to unwind. The service was quick, which is perfect for a lunch break. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more items from their menu. This place is definitely a gem in the area, and I'm excited to see it grow even more once they start serving wine and beer.

    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.

But considering what we didn't get which is flavor, I thought price was too much. Not sure if I'd return, but only if someone pays for my meal first which I'll gladly reimburse if they made it better. 3 stars is average, so I'd give it a 2.5 at most.

    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.
