    Queso birria, tacos dorado, pastor taco
    Chan B.

    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.

    We've come here multiple times and every time the food is 10/10!! The dinning room is small so there is sometimes a wait, but it's always worth it. Staff are attentive and take your order at the table. The 805 burrito and Jamaica drink are also delicious!!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Not a lot to say about this place, except came with with family (and we eat Mexican food a lot) today for lunch... and everyone said these were the best tacos they had eaten, ever. Wow. That's high praise indeed. I somehow was the black sheep, and ordered a torta, which was delicious. The chips plate is $9 and comes with salsa and guacamole. No free chips like in other places. If the food weren't as great as it is, this would cost one star off the review. But I'll let it go. Still, free chips and salsa should be a given. Service was also very good. The food came out super fast, despite a full restaurant. The place has no ambiance, no pretension, it is focused on great food and great service. Well done! My pictures aren't labeled. I don't even know the particulars of what everyone ordered. Just that we were all super pleased.

    Best Mexican food in Simi. Service is great, everyone is very nice. TVs for all the sports, perfect place for a drink and some good food.

    Tacos = LIFE

    A huge shout out to my sister-in-law for telling us about Tacos 805!!! The back story.... She had told my wife and I about a Mexican place that her and her husband came across while they were shopping at the Simi Valley Stater Brothers off of Los Angeles Ave. She said they had this amazing carne asada burrito with French fries inside of it and it was legit. So naturally, I knew it was a just a matter of time before me, the wife and the kids would be venturing over to Simi Valley to check this place out. Fast forward a few months... So after a fun filled morning with my family, my sister, my brother-in-law and my mom where we spent some time fishing at the Rancho Simi Duck Pond just to let the kids practice their casting and reeling in with their Uncle Joe, we decided to get lunch before heading back home. As we were driving, I told my wife, "ooh, what about that Mexican place your sister told us about with that epic burrito" And just like that... Off to Tacos 805 we went! When we first walked in, I noticed the place was pretty packed and there were lots of people sitting at the bar watching the game. Despite being busy that day and the space inside being extra cozy, thankfully they had an open table that fit our party perfectly. Of course, we already knew that we were going to get that burrito recommended by my wife's sister.... But the place is called Tacos 805... And if you have EVER read any of my other reviews where tacos have been an option... You know for a fact that I that is what I'm getting! So with just a quick glance at the menu, I knew instantly what I would be getting: 1 Carne Asada. 1 Al Pastor. 1 Camarón. Aka angus steak, marinated pork, & fried shrimp. Of course I ordered a side of chips + salsa and a bottled Mexican Coke to complete my order. So how were the Tacos at Tacos 805 you ask... The tortillas are handmade which I love! The amount of meat in each taco was plentiful, this place definitely does not skimp. And the flavors of each taco definitely represented the 805 proud. Tortas, quesadillas, enchiladas and other Mexican Specialties are also available to order. Service was good... we were well taken care of during our visit. And since it's called Tacos 805... They do have a decent selection of local draft beers and of course wine, margaritas, michelada's & bottled Mexican Beers. So if you're from the 805 or you are just passing through... Make sure to come give this place some well deserved Love.

    Tacos 805 I've been looking for a place like you! The chilaquiles here (weekends only) are amazing! I've been looking for a good one in Simi for a while and this one is not only delicious but is a HUGE portion. I recommend to add eggs to it. I also tried a Al pastor taco that tasted good and fresh. Aside from the food being good, the employees were all very nice and attentive. The place has very large TV's pretty much wrapped around and the beer option looked solid.

    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.

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!

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.

What happened on my most recent visit (Feb 7, around 1 p.m.) was deeply concerning. I was falsely accused by management of making an "inappropriate" comment to a hostess--without any specifics, without verification, and without any meaningful opportunity to clarify. My only interaction with that employee was a brief request for Sweet'N Low at the front counter. There was no conversation beyond that. Despite this, I was confronted and warned I could be banned if it "happened again." This is the second time this manager has made incorrect accusations toward me. I had no conversation whatsoever with the hostess. A Better Business Bureau complaint has been filed. They acknowledged it and requested a response from Yolanda's. To date, there has been no response to BBB or to my direct written correspondence. When a business does not respond to formal complaints and fails to verify serious allegations before confronting customers, that raises broader concerns about how situations are handled. Longtime customer--but this was a serious and unacceptable experience. This is a warning for others
