    Cheeses Enchiladas, Crispy Braised Beef Tacos, Chips with Guacamole and Salsa, Rice and Beans. Modelo Michalada and Pina Aguas Fresca.
    Chrissy H.

    Tacos 805 in Simi Valley is the Bomb!!! We visit this restaurant whenever we're visiting in SoCal and it never disappoints!!! A must visit if you're in Simi Valley. We were very hungry when we arrived and ordered their Cheese Enchiladas, Crispy Braised Beef Tacos and the very generous amount of Chips with guacamole and Salsa, and a side of Rice and Beans. Everything was super DELICIOUS!!! The drinks, a Modelo Machalada and Pina Aguas Fresca were so good and refreshing too!!! Service was excellent!!! Shout out to the Servers there especially Angie for the quick and efficient service. The restaurant is not very big but there's certainly enough seating and very quick turnaround. There's a bar and bar seating you can eat at if you don't want to wait for a table.

    Queso birria, tacos dorado, pastor taco

    Cool spot I like the ambience it's very chill. Staff was super nice, our waitress was Valeria and she was really attentive and had good energy The food was good. The quesabirria taco was great-the meat quality and the cheese just super tasty! I didn't love the pastor as it was ground instead of like strips of it, but the flavor was good. Tacos dorado was bomb. The guacamole was actually really flavorful with the chips and salsa. This salsa is average, but if you add some of the spicy salsa bottle to it, it elevates the flavor. Overall, really great, I feel like it was lacking just a little bit of spice however, I'm assuming that's just what the preference might be in the area.

    Good creative varieties of tacos. 3 tacos is a good portion for 1 person. Would recommend trying their specialities. Slightly expensive for what it is. Service is quick and kind. Inside is clean and has many tables, parking is part of a larger lot.

    Chicken taquito order but had beef
    Cindy L.

    Omg ! I was craving tacos,taquitos mexican rice chips and salsa. I was driving by simi and decided to try this place based on reviews I had 2 options but decided to try this spot ! The place is nice and seemed clean so that was great. Sadly the food didn't by far have a wow factor ! I was honestly starving since I had a long way home just got off exit to get . Here is my experience I asked for chicken taquitos and I happen to eat one on drive home that was meat not chicken I only eat chicken for health choices and somehow I ended up with beef that I did not order nor am i supposed to eat . Here is the pic of the difference between beef and chicken so sad but will definitely remember to always check before we drive off ! On another note there was no chips included thats fine, I guess but honestly every mexican restaurant always gives chips even if its to go in my opinion please Don't be stingy with salsa. I will countinue my search for great tasting mexican food! Gracias !

    Stopped in for a quick to go dinner on a Tuesday night and the restaurant was busy with people waiting outside. I went directly to back of restaurant to order and staff was super friendly in assisting with my order. Plus they have a good system to notify when you food is ready by texting. So what did I think? I ordered the 805 burrito and felt it was ok. I think my biggest issue with the burrito is that was salty. Too salty for me. Plus burrito had refried beans and I like whole beans. Plus a lot of rice and not so much meat. The tortilla was good. Given how salty my burrito was I probably wouldn't order this again, and wonder if other food items are as salty. Perhaps I would stop in for something else!

    Great little taco shop close by the job. I was working at kind of expensive for tacos, but the quality is worth it. They're delicious and I would totally go back if I was in the area again the ambience is probably What you'd expect for a Simi Valley taco spot and I think the tacos are delicious.

    Carne Asada Street Taco & El Pastor Street Tack
    Gino T.

    Our second time visiting Tacos 805 and just as good as our dinner visit with friends. Decided to have lunch there today and it did not disappoint. Very busy lunch crowd that did not impact the service or the food coming out of the kitchen. Plenty of TV's on the wall with all sports events while we enjoyed our chips and salsa, our server very friendly and accommodating. Food came out hot and flavorful, plenty of everything in the tacos, mine was the fish tacos and were outstanding the wife had the El pastor and Carne asada which both were flavorful and juicy, not dry like other places we have dined at. We will frequent this place a lot, prices are perfect and not expensive for lunch or dinner for two. If you are in Simi Valley and craving a taco and margarita this is your place without hesitation. Well done Tacos 805 you got my vote! Mangiamo!

    Birria Breakfast Torta
    Michelle F.

    Great food and drinks! Outstanding fish/Pescado ceviche. Birria breakfast torta was also excellent. Our waitress Madeline and the staff were attentive and kind. Highly recommended Taco 805!

    Chorizo Al Pastor Carne asada
    Seth M.

    This place is a small taco place that has a nice vibe! This place has a good vibe especially if you want to watch a sports game or just get some dinner! I got the pastor, asada and chorizo tacos n all were pretty good! My favorite had to be the chorizo which wasn't too greasy compared to other places! The drink sizes are perfect for a beer or mixed drink! I'd recommend and have come back a few times!

    Shrimp & Steak burrito
    Jerry S.

    Was having a New Year's Day taco and burrito craving, so we decided to order from Tacos805. I've been here a few times before when they first opened, and I've always thought their tacos were solid. This visit started off strong. The chips and salsa were absolutely wonderful--fresh, flavorful, and a great way to kick things off. The carne asada tacos, both flour and corn, were also very good. They're fairly basic, but sometimes simple is best. The steak had good flavor, was cooked well, and didn't need much else. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill with the Mar y Tierra shrimp and steak burrito. I was completely unimpressed. There's just way too much going on in that burrito. It was overloaded with sauce, making the entire burrito soggy and messy. The shrimp were very small, overly salty, and honestly took away from the overall flavor instead of enhancing it. The shrimp felt cheap and didn't pair well with the steak at all. If I were the owner, I'd strongly consider removing the shrimp from that burrito altogether and sticking to what this place clearly does well--chicken and carne asada. That's where they shine. Also worth noting: chips and salsa are charged separately, which is fine to know going in. Overall, I would definitely come back for the tacos only, but I would not order a burrito again. Stick to the basics here and you'll likely have a much better experience.

    I ordered six tacos, had me waiting for almost 20 minutes and my food was in the counter for like 10 minutes. Never coming here again.!! no one is even paying attention when you first walk my fault I was hungry!

Pretty big space but only one single toilet bathroom which was very clean & had an air freshener present so you didn't smell the person before you. Food- I had the steak fajitas. A little smaller than I was expecting but Omg this was sooooo tasty! Steak was perfectly cooked with a GREAT flavor/seasoning. Veggies were cooked just right so they were a little crisp without feeling slimy. I honestly think about this dish often & always try to find a reason to go back. Service- Fast, friendly & always able to accommodate our large party. Wait staff would notice your drinks being low & would promptly refill them or ask if you were ready to order another adult beverage. Drinks were decent but nothing that stood out to me.

I've been hearing about how wonderful this Mexican restaurant is and I can see the community agrees! We waited about 20 minutes to be seated - not bad at all! The hostess, servers and busboys are so friendly and on top of EVERYTHING! They have a full bar, the margaritas are great! It's very loud in there so be prepared! Five of us dined and everyone loved their food! We started with shredded beef nachos which were wonderful! The chili verde, chicken enchiladas and asada plate were all a hit! I personally could not wait to order the chicken mole' enchiladas (I LOVE mole' and heard theirs was amazing) BUT THEY RAN OUT! So disappointed! That's all I wanted, never even looked at the menu! It's not even 7pm yet? Why oh why do you not have enough for the Friday night rush!!?? When our waitress came back to to tell me they ran out of it, (she was very sweet and apologetic) and she had already put everyone's order in - I had no idea what I wanted ‍ so I ordered a chicken taco which didn't come out until about 5-10 minutes after everyone else's food was served. Other than that snag (my reason for the 4 stars not 5) their food is awesome! I'm definitely wanting to come back for the mole' and highly recommend coming here!

    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.

I saw the margarita flight and knew I had to try it, especially since it was my first time. They were all delicious and tasty. I would definitely order again. They had their garnish game on point. I also saw they had a taco flight. I knew I had to try those as well. I wanted to try all the different meat options to find the flavors I like. The Birria taco was my favorite flavor. Some of the meats were a little dry. I wish they had a little more flavor to them. They gave me two different salsas to add and that helped. But I would definitely like to see the flavors of the tacos improve. I always crave sushi. That was a must try for me. I thought I would try the fiesta mariachi roll for the first trip here. It was delicious. I'm craving more! I think next time I will have to try some of the other sushi options since this one was so good. Also since they basically have flights for everything..... I would love to have a sushi platter flight... with my margarita flight! I will definitely go back. I can't wait to try more menu items. The staff was all very attentive and friendly.

I was specifically told that reservations were not needed and that seating was on a first-come, first-served basis. To be safe, we arrived two hours early, only to be told that we actually did need reservations. We were shocked because we had called ahead specifically to avoid this exact situation. We ended up wasting our time and had to scramble to find another place that could accommodate our group. What made the experience even worse was the way the staff handled it. While my dad was calmly trying to speak with the employees at the front desk to understand what happened, they literally walked away from him instead of listening or trying to resolve the issue. That level of disrespect and lack of customer service was unacceptable. If the restaurant has different policies for major events like the World Cup, they need to communicate that clearly and make sure all employees are giving customers accurate information. Between the misinformation and the dismissive attitude from the staff, this was a terrible experience. We definitely won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone expecting good customer service.
