Great location steps from the beach. Small space but so worth the try. We ordered the street al pastor tacos & a vegetarian burrito. Whoa, the burrito was way yummier than what I expected from a veggie burrito! Tacos were good and perfect size. The ingredients they use here are definitely fresh and not prepackaged. The chips are made fresh & the salsas as well. The avocado salsa was BOMB! You can taste the roasted poblano in it which is one of my & my mother in laws favorite flavor. Highly recommend.

We miss you and so happy to see that the scheduled reopening might be August - your food truly is the best, and can't wait to come back!

I found the asada to be a bit dry. I really liked the carnitas. Tortillas held up nicely and didn't fall apart. Salsas were very tasty. Habanero is very spicy, just the way I like it. read more

Mijo's Taqueria - Pastor Burrito - Tacos Near Me - Capitola, California

When you walk in, you're not greeted by anybody and you place your order on a kiosk. I ordered three tacos, one Baja fish and two Asada tacos with chips and salsa and a bottle Coke the total came out to be $20.93 and took about 15 mins even with no one in there before me. The tacos were amazing, great flavor on both of them. The service could use some help, I had to go back twice to ask them for the salsa they forgot then again for the chips they forgot. Their chips and salsa is something I would stay away from. The chips are stale and the salsa tastes more like a tomato sauce that came out a can, with some random black beans definitely not worth paying extra for either of those read more

Great tacos! Best Baja fish tacos in santa cruz County hands down! Friendly staff, great food.

One of the best burritos I've had in a long time. I got the burrito con todo with al pastor. My daughter got the same but vegetarian. For me, burritos in most Mexican restaurants are pretty similar (similar ingredients). This was just a bit different which was enough for it to stand above the average one. I especially liked the addition of cabbage. Good prices too - considering that they are right at the beach in Capitola. I will be back. read more

I do not recommend this taqueria. I ordered the burrito here today for lunch and wanted to enjoy it. Unfortunately, 90 % of burrito was rice. Min vegi (only 1%). No clucomolly or salsa inside. A little bit fresh cabbage, beans, and tomatos. Plus, some souse on side The taqueria was empty. Here was 3 tables inside, ant 2 other customers. However, the music inside was laud. I was not able to hear my child. read more

I got the Baja fish taco which was very good. The fish was flaky and you get a decent amount of the condiments (cabbage, lime). However the taco is small and I'd recommend getting two ($5 each). My husband got a burrito and was disappointed by how small it was. He ended up making more food for himself when we got home. He did say he enjoyed the flavors and liked their carne asada. We also got a kids flautas for our toddler. Unfortunately this was a big disappointment. The portion size was just fine, it was two flautas with a side of sour cream and cheese but the chicken was fried in such a way that it was incredibly overdone and had the texture of jerky. The chicken was just plain, no seasoning at all but my main issue is that it was so dry and tough I felt like it was a choking hazard even for an adult. Seating is very limited and it seemed most people got takeout. They do not have a restroom on site fyi. read more

Have eaten here hundreds of times since they opened years ago. The owner Tony is great and so are his tacos. The sauces offer different intensities and flavors that pair great with all their tacos. Definitely check Mijo's out if you are looking for a tasty taco! read more

Great fish tacos here! Really fresh fish and great seasoning on the batter. Tons of salsas to choose from. I loved the jalapeño salsa. Definitely recommend! read more

This is a place I typically visit when in town, probably 90% of the time. The prices are reasonable (rare in this day and age) and the food is pretty good. My favorites are the burrito con todo and the fish tacos. I've also tried the 2 for $5 tacos and shrimp burrito. The shrimp burrito is not very flavorful but if you add some salsa, it's alright. I love the chips too. They're always fairly quick to get orders out. There's some seating inside, but why not eat on the beach! read more

This place is good when it's good and other day bad when it's bad. . Also make sure to check your order you may get something just random. Which is a pain being as it's in the village so if you run. All the way home and see that your order isn't correct you have to repay for parking etc. read more

Looked for a place that wasn't too pricey in a touristy area and Yelp suggested this so decided to try it out. In a good location where it's near Capitola beach. Ordered the Mijo's burrito with carne asada. They offered three different sauces and I asked for one of each. I think it's cool they give you a whole bottle of it. Wish the burrito had less rice and more carne asada. The meat was slightly charred which gave a unique taste, I also liked the at they were thinly sliced so the bites were easy. There is a bench as outdoor seating and a few tables outside. Nice small restaurant and cashiers are friendly. read more

I've eaten lunches at Mijo's and loved it. Last weekend I had them cater a taco feed at my home. Anthony worked with me to select my meat and side choices. He was efficient and very pleasant. Delivery was right on time and he laid out a fantastic spread on my table, including all the required utensils. Everything tasted wonderful and my guests raved about it. I highly recommend Anthony at Mijo's for your next event. read more

Sooo yummy! These tacos filled us up. They offered three different types of sauce and they were all good. Seating is limited but you can sit anywhere on the beach! Staff is super nice and helpful. Will definitely be back! read more

Mijo's Taqueria - 2 for 5 Al Pastor Tacos x 2 2 For 5 Carne Asada Tacos x 2 - Tacos Near Me - Capitola, California

We placed an order yesterday and sat down at a table. The food was ready in about 15 minutes. The server gave it to us in a bag and told us we can't eat in but have to take it out. No reason was given. We were dressed well. I have no idea why they kicked us out. We had to eat on the street. Later on we saw a family who waited at a table next to ours eating outside as well. No explanation was given why we weren't welcome. It was very disappointing and unnerving. Not what you expect. The food was ok though I was sick 30 minutes after eating it. What a waste of money! We prepaid for our food. I left a sizable tip. I now wish we never went there. read more

This was our second time stopping at Mijos while in Capitola. Portions were great and the fish tacos were super warm and fresh. We will definitely come back again! read more

We order ahead and pick up lunch from Mijos about once a month. The burrito selection is really good (veggie burritos, all kinds of meat, bean and cheese). Today I tried the fish tacos for the first time. Recommend! I had one grilled and one Baja. Both were amazing and even though I'm local, I felt like I was on vacation eating these tacos. Sometimes there is a line out the door, but it usually goes pretty quickly. Pick up some tacos and burritos here and take them to the beach just a few steps away. read more

Al pastor tacos were very tasty. A bit small so I wish I had ordered more. But loved them and the salsa's available.

We've worked with Mijos Catering over a dozen times, and they've been outstanding every single time. Anthony is a true professional--super easy to work with, responsive, and reliable. His team is hardworking, efficient, and always brings great energy to every event. And the food? Absolutely amazing. Our clients always rave about it. We can't recommend Mijos Catering enough for anyone looking for top-tier service and incredible food! read more

Hands-down, the best nachos in town! Very clean and authentic and family style. It's all women in the kitchen. You can tell everything is made with care. I come here all the time last time they accidentally messed up on my order because they were really busy and I had to wait a little bit longer than usual. The owner ended up just comping my food without me even asking you can just tell they really care all the ingredients seem fresh. I love their chips and guac as well. if you're in Capitola Definitely give them your business if you're craving good Mexican food right by the beach! read more

my go-to place for burritos when in the area! the Mijos burrito is my favorite the crunchy purple cabbage adds a great crunch. I love the salsa here. read more

I recently ordered take-out here and was delighted by the outcome. I ordered a bunch of sides and the flavor of everything was great. Carnitas, refried beans, rice, and guacamole. Would recommend if you're in need of quality Mexican food that will be ready quick! read more

Coming back from Monterey, we decided to make a quick stop in Capitola for some last minute beach fun, as well as some food to tide us over for the ride home. We walked around and saw Mijo's, so decided to grab some food here to satisfy our craving. Mijo's is take out only, and does not offer any dine-in options. Order at the window, and wait outside for them to call your order. Although there was not much of a line outside, we still had to wait about 20mins before our food was finally ready. I'm assuming they must have been prepping a large order inside, or gearing up for some catering event, to explain the long wait for our order. We opted to share a Nachos con Todo and a grilled Fish Taco. There are some benches and public seating areas nearby, so we just sat outside, a few doors down to eat. The nachos were stacked, and were very filling and delicious. And we thoroughly enjoyed the fish taco as well. read more

The food was yummy. I asked for extra pickled onions and did not get them but it was still good

We had Mijo's cater our party and they went above and beyond to accommodate us. Anthony, the owner, delivered to our house, and was friendly and kind. Everyone loved the food. We are so impressed and happy with Mijo's. Thank you!!! read more

I would say for Norcal, this is the best tacos we have had so far- its pretty close to San Diego tacos. We ordered the al pastor street tacos, baja fish tacos and the tangia tacos. Their hot salsa is really good too and you can eat them at the beach nearby! The only things that could've made it better was if the al pastor had more pineapple pieces and the fish tacos needed to be double tortilla wrapped cause it was breaking. read more

WOW! What a GEM!! So we were visiting Capitola for our first time. We were looking for a place to have dinner close to our B&B . Went to YELP and found this place. It fit the bill by meeting the two most important requirements - 1) Must be within walking distance, and 2) Must be at least 4 Stars. So we walked for at least six minutes and found it! It's a very small place. You walk in and order and pay - then sit and they bring your food out to you. We had the chips and guacamole for a starter, then some tacos and I had a side order of refried beans with cheese. They have a big menu with a TON of choices. When we ordered, I saw the cook put the meat on the grill...grilled fresh to order! The chips are excellent. I like that are the thicker ones and they are perfectly cooked and salted. The guac was excellent as was the accompanying salsa. Not too hot and had great flavor. I had the Street Tacos - with Carnitas and with al pastor. They were very good! The meat was tender, and flavorful and there was plenty of it on the tacos. They are served with Cilantro and onions. I'm definitely a fan. They have a few different sauces available - Pico, Mild, Roja, Morita, Mijos Green, Spicy, Habanero. Check out the bottle tops...they make it EASY to get plenty of sauce on your taco. I chose the Spicy, which was very tasty and spicy. I like HOT! I also had a side of refried beans, which I love! they were thick, hot and had great flavor! The service was excellent. We were the only ones sitting in the restaurant - but they had quite a few people come it during the course of our stay to pick up carry-out. The staff came to our table a couple times to check on us - which isn't common in my vast dining experience. We liked the chips and salsa so much we bought another order to take back to the B&B for a late night snack. Definitely what would be called a hole in the wall. You might miss it if you were driving around looking for a place to go - but make sure you go to Mijo's if you're in Capitola. I promise you'll LOVE it! read more

Great food and price. We've came back here many times and each time it's great. Easy walk from the beach

Cute little hole in the wall! My fiancé , brother in law and I decided to grab lunch from here. They ended up getting the grilled chicken burritos, which were huge! But they add grilled habaneros, which really gave it a nice kick. I ended up getting the carne asada tacos, classic and you can't go wrong with them! Lastly, we all decided to try the Baja fish taco, and damn it was the perfect taco. The fish was perfectly fried and crispy, the coleslaw gave it a fresh light texture. Check this place out if you're ever in the area! read more

We stopped in again (as we do almost every time we're over at the coast), and the tacos are just as good as when I reviewed them in 2018. The folk here are also wonderful. Oh yeah, the prices are quite reasonable as well. Do it, get a taco or three. You know you want to! read more

Great spot by the water. I always get their fish tacos here. Crispy, tender, flakey. Parking can be a pain just because of how busy the area is but the food is delicious and I haven't had a better fish taco in Santa Cruz County. read more

Street metered parking or beach lot hourly paid parking available next to the restaurant. Service is nice. Tables inside available for dining. Ordered a burrito, beef tacos and fish tacos. The fish tacos were amazing, the batter was perfect, the fish amount was decent. The beef tacos and burrito was just ok. The beef was dry and not appealing. The burrito was tasty but resulted in an upset stomach afterwards. Would definitely come back for the fish tacos. Very cute area to walk around and enjoy the scenery. read more

We are here after spending the afternoon at Capitola Beach. Food was delicious, just know this is more of a walk up order at the window and take to go. There is a little bit of seating outside but not actual table and chairs. Great to order and take to the beach! We ordered the Shrimp Burrito and tacos a Tinga taco and Fish Taco. Both tacos were delicious but the Tinga Taco was my favorite! read more
