Refreshments are freshly made and tasty. Chips and salsa is spicy. First timers and we ordered Caldo de res and Menudo. Home made tortillas brought to the table. Check out my video. Its steamy hot. Its an air conditioned restaurant with a small private lot in the back with street parking available. Service was great and owner goes around checking with all the tables. Very personable.

Decided to try their menudo. It was really good! It had hominy which I like. The tortillas I am pretty sure are homemade. They have out door dining and the staff was very nice. I teally like the fact they have menudo everyday.

1st time trying this place the food was delicious but the lady who took the order sounded a bit rude and when I got there it was same lady who took the order and was rude to invoice me out. Besides the lady the food is great and the atmosphere was good. The place was full of people. Will definitely try again.

My grandma has loved coming here for years . I always bring her here so she can get her fix of posole/ menudo . I love everything here . My brother gets the Aguaschiles. My dad gets the caldo de res . Really the variety is endless !!

You might miss this place. From the outside it does not look very appealing. Located across the street from the train tracks. Very busy street and the parking is not the best. Seating inside is ample. It gives the Mexican restaurant vibe the minute you walk in. Their wall is lined with refrigerators full of beers and sodas. The day we visited it was full. They had the FIFA World Cup on their two screens. There were many people that are obviously regulars picking up orders. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was good. Well seasoned. Their salsas not too spicy but just the right kick in it. Definitely worth trying.

Finally found a great Mexican place to eat in Santa Clarita. Everything tasted fresh and delicious

Shrimp cocktail with freshly made tostadas up front, chicken enchilada plate off to the right

My buddy at the VA told me about this place nearly a year ago. Well it finally happened today. Nice ranchera music, friendly patrons. The menu was colorful. Several orders came out and they were eye-catching! My shrimp cocktail had ample delicious shrimp. Here's the deal, many places do not clean the shrimp. Neca does so a loud is appropriate!! Delicious, hearty and enough avocado, the salsa is really good so I spooned a few rounds into the the cocktail. Oh yeah,,, Paired with the micheladas and we made a fast getaway home to inspect the backs of our eyelids. Nelson, thanks for the warm welcome. We had a great time and next up will be pozole or langosta. See you soon. JJG

The food was tasty. We had all are food to go. My husband and I had the huarache, carnitas taco, pastor taco, chicken taco, pork tamale, rice and beans. The prices were very reasonable. The proprietor Nelson was very friendly, happy guy. The establishment was clean and very brightly lit. This is a nice local Mexican food restaurant. If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine at a reasonable price, this the place to go.

One of my friends described Neca's as a slice of Mexico. The food is comforting - that taco or burrito you've been craving - it's exactly what you wanted. The dishes are authentic and the environment makes you feel like you're in a small town. The staff is kind and patient. They want to make sure you're happy. They're very hospitable. The takeout tastes as good as sitting in the restaurant. Kudos to the owner - food and service are fantastic!

Some places don't just serve dinner, they create evenings you remember…read more The Old Town Junction has that kind of atmosphere. Warm, inviting, and effortlessly charming. From the moment we sat down, the staff was attentive without hovering, quick to accommodate, and genuinely welcoming. The food is top notch, beautifully prepared and absolutely worth treating yourself. If you've got a little extra to spend on a date or a good friend, this is the place to do it. A special thank you to Danielle, our waitress, who was kind, courteous, and never rushed us. She even allowed us to linger a bit after hours to enjoy our final lemon drop, making the night feel unhurried and personal. Great food, great service, and an experience worth repeating. Highly recommend. El Yepista - Gabriel

Lovely spot for drinks and dinner in Santa Clarita…read more I was in the area running errands and decided to grab dinner nearby on a Thusday evening around 6:30 pm. I found this place on Yelp and dropped by for dinner. My party of 2 was seated immediately. Personally I thought the menus were hard to read. The gray lines in the background were quite dark and clashed with the actual menu items. My suggestion to the restaurant would be to reprint the menus with lighter background. They have an extensive cocktail menu with a lot of gin-based drinks. They also have good selection of wine and NA drinks as well, including some mocktails. I got the I'm Driving mocktail ($13), which I really liked. It had good passion fruit flavor without being too sour. Felt like a really nice tropical juice. My friend really liked his drink Bramblin' Man ($17), which had strong notes of bourbon and blackberry. I wasn't super hungry, but the braised short rib looked amazing so I got that for $43. It was very tender, but I personally found it bland especially on the inside. I asked for additional sauce so I could drench each bite in the sauce. My favorite part of the plate was surprisingly the potato croquette, which was perfectly crispy and well flavored. My friend got the chicken club ($23), which he enjoyed. I stole a bunch of his seasoned fries since they were so good. I would've loved to get dessert but was too stuffed. Next time!

We've dined in before but that was a long time ago & I couldn't recall the experience. Anyhow, husband made some bomb sticky rice the day before and since we had no ideas for what to make tonight, this sounded like a great solution! I highly recommend this deal! I ordered the 1lb head on shrimp. Daddy sauce. Mild. It was perfectly cooked and very tasty. At first I thought it was too spicy, after a few, I realized it was the perfect amount of spice. The portion was plentiful. Husband had the fish po' boy with garlic fries and said it was great. Total was $31 including tax.

What I received was corn on the cob, potatoes and sausage with a few pieces of shrimp and the crab. My family does not eat meat so I do not understand how they could make such a mistake especially when I was the only customer there. What if someone was allergic to one of the additional items? I'm pretty sure the sausage and vegetables were added to the shrimp to equal a pound. I am totally disappointed with this mistake and I see the reason why the restaurant was empty on a Saturday afternoon. There was no way I could have gone back to return the item since I live quite far and I made the mistake of not checking before I left since the girl stapled the bag and sealed the container inside. The shrimp isn't cooked well either. Some of them were cooked for too long while others seemed almost raw. Bad quality.
