I stopped in here on way home from a trip and boy am I glad I did! I had the pazole and a chicken taco and both were delicious. The pazole was very traditional and very well done, with lots of pork shoulder and hominy. it was very filling and it was obviously made that same day. The chicken taco was very moist, it came on a nice, mini tortilla and it had some excellent flavor. Overall, this was definitely a 5 star lunch. read more

I've been coming here for a while and can't speak more highly of their food and service. The owner is fantastic and responsive to guests. You get a great value which you rarely find now and the food is delicious. Good for families and to watch a game during the week. Recommend! read more

Love the atmosphere. Reminds me of our yearly visit to Baja, Mexico. The owner is always so welcoming and genuinely wants us to enjoy our food every time we come here. Only place I've ever finished my burrito. read more

Food was delicious and our server was very attentive. There was little to no ambiance, but it was clean and comfortable. Most customers were doing takeout. I had a bit of trouble understanding the menu and used price as my guide as to how much to order. I ordered way too much. The prices are very reasonable and all five of us were impressed enough to agree to go back again this weekend. I had shrimp ceviche tostadas and the shrimp was very fresh. read more

Hole in the wall, but great selection of food and beverages. Great size portions. The music was a little too loud but overall a great vibe and a great time. Will definitely be back! read more

A great hole in the wall always recommend it. Hands down the best menudo in town! They are super quick with the orders and the micheladas are fire. read more

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. read more

Neca’s Kitchen - Camarones al mojo de ajo - Mexican Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

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. read more

Neca’s Kitchen - Front of the restaurant. - Mexican Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

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 read more

How is it possible that a Mexican place in my own neighborhood remains unreviewed? I apologize to everyone on Yelp and the universe at large. I propose that my punishment be that I eat at 3 more hole in the wall places by the end of the month and that I recommit myself to reviewing every local eatery no matter how miniscule or diminutive. So with quivering chin held high and tears of humiliation freshly wiped clean I offer the following review. The carne asada was delicious and the al pastor was solid. I was in there for a quick snack to hold me til dinner but I can't wait to come back for something a little more substantial. 2013 #54 / 365 read more

Food is good. I've had the menudo and it was flavorful. I've tried the carne asada burrito and it was pretty good as well. Two thumbs way up

Disappointed. The pictures listed are nothing like the real thing. This place needs to be cleaned & organized there's random stuff everywhere. I didn't notice at first. I knew what I wanted as soon as I walked in. I sat there playing on my phone, not paying attention to anything. I didn't get my drink till after I got my food. When I did, The tortilla warmer was so dirty. Now I'm worried crossing my fingers hoping I don't get sick. If the rest of the place is DIRTY what can I expect from the kitchen. I almost walked out, when I started noticing how dirty it was, then my food came. I wasn't brave enough to tell them how bad everything was when they asked me. I hope that for their own prosperity and for the safety of others, they clean this place up thoroughly. Decepcionada. Las imágenes no se parecen en nada a la realidad reciente.. Este lugar necesita ser limpiado y organizado. Se ven varias cosas fuera de lugar. No me di cuenta al principio. Sabía lo que quería tan pronto como entré. Estuve entretenida en mi teléfono, sin prestar atención a nada. No conseguí mi bebida hasta que obtuve mi comida. Cuando lo hice, el calentador de tortilla estaba muy sucio. Ahora estoy preocupada cruzando los dedos con la esperanza de no enfermarme. Si el resto del lugar está sucio, ¿qué puedo esperar de la cocina? Casi me salí, cuando comencé a notar lo sucio que estaba, entonces llegó mi comida. No tuve el valor para decirles que tan mal estuvo todo cuando me preguntaron. Espero que por su prosperidad y salud a los demás limpia en el lugar. read more

One of, if not the, best Mexican restaurants in SCV! The staff is always very friendly and the food is consistently great.

Others reviewers are right. it's one of the best in SCV/Newhall. Reasonable prices. What I like most is the chef takes real pride in his work. I appreciate a good work ethic; results, from which, are delicious. I like the steak picadillo. Also, this place makes me want to learn how to order my food in Spanish! Such nice people here. read more

Ceviches and shrimp cocktails are always top notch. Wide variety of beers available. Great customer service!

Neca's Restaurant / La Villa Maria Restaurant Best Burrito In Santa Clarita I've been going to this restaurant for years and had it today for Dinner. It is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. Not very fancy and limited seating but very good food and EXCELLENT Service. Their Vegetable burrito is the best and I would give it 5 stars. I highly recommend it! Their Seafood is also very good. Their other foods (Red Snapper in Green salsa with Shrimps , tacos, etc.) are good just as good as their burrito. Look forward to the next time! read more
