We walked in to place an order to go around 3pm on Monday. 3 tables out of 8 were occupied. We asked to see a menu and sat down so we can decide what to order. Soon after a lady from the bar area came out and asked us to stand so we can free the table for any walk-ins. NO ONE WALKED IN WHILE WE WERE THERE. They continued asking us if we were ready to order. I placed an order worth of $70.00 got our food and left. Will never go back! Service was terrible and clearly they didn't want our business as it felt they wanted us to be gone, but what the lady did is so rude. 5 tables were still available after we left. Stay away from this place. read more

We tried it once about a year ago and we were not pleased. After a friend said it's gotten better, we gave it another shot tonight and we won't be returning. The salsa tastes like Marinara, the shrimp in our burrito bowl was ice cold and they don't have tequila. Palapa across the street is a better bang for your buck. read more

I really wanted to like this place and it's 50/50 which i why im leaving 3 stars. Pros: Really good birria that's hard to find in TO. It's legit and worth ordering. Really good carnitas and they're tender and juicy. Delicious. Their Michelada was on point CONS : Service : once they noticed us they were on top of it but it took a while for them to get to us once seated. The waiter chatted up the table next to us for 10 mins before someone showed up. He also left my michelada in the bar for about 5 before someone else brought to me. Overpriced - i get the need to charge more for certain things but 15$ for a normal sized seafood tostada ? Maybe if it was larger or better quality seafood then ok Also why do you charge extra for Mexicali style if all you're doing is subbing out flour for corn tortilla. You're not giving extra anything How do you mess up carne asada. My daughter ordered and it was overcooked. I ate half her taco thinking she was exaggerating but no it was Chewy and dry read more

Well, color me shocked and surprised. I'm awarding all 5 stars to this place... and with no hesitation!!! I don't typically do that with Simi Valley eateries, but Tacos 805 rates in a big way !! While we ordered takeout on our maiden voyage to Tacos 805, we were blown away with the quality of ingredients, the incredible flavor in all items ordered, and the accuracy of receiving exactly what we ordered. The latter rarely happens when ordering takeout from anywhere. This is mostly a taco and burrito place with many choices of each, but they do have other Mexican food items available. I do not ever eat burritos, but I do love tacos. Most of their tacos are on corn tortillas, but they also will make them with flour tortillas, even gluten-free flour tortillas, should someone want those. Between my husband and I, we ordered six tacos. Unfortunately, they came three tacos per to-go box, but we didn't know which tacos were which, and because it was takeout, they didn't know what we each ordered. This was our first time ordering, and on four of the six tacos, they looked the same to me. I simply didn't know which ones were mine and which ones were my husband's. So I guessed, and knowing me, I ended up eating my husband's, and he ate mine. I am terrible at guessing. They should have labeled the boxes to say which tacos were inside of each; that is my only criticism. I have to say, though, the tacos were outstanding. If you frequently read my reviews, I'm all about flavor and let me tell you, these tacos and everything we tasted had flavor abounding. Absolutely delicious. The food was freshly prepared, good quality ingredients, and the flavors were insanely good. My husband ordered a pork belly taco, mar y tierra taco, and a quesabirria taco. I ordered camaron (grilled shrimp), carne asada, and a Dorado taco. Whatever I ate was absolutely delish. I'm not gonna lie... Things were a little spicy, such as their salsa that they make for chips only, which I thought would be mild. Maybe that was their version of mild, but it was a little spicy for me. The thing is, I put it on my tacos anyway because it had such great flavor, spicy or not. The guacamole was surprisingly spicy, too, but I saw plenty of jalapeños sitting in there, and I didn't see any ingredients listed on the menu for the guacamole. I just assumed it would be mild, and I was wrong. It had amazing flavor, even though it was too spicy. Again, I ate it because they made a great guacamole, even though too hot for me. Their Mexican Rice was perfection. Cooked perfectly and so flavorful. The beans were interesting. I say interesting because there was more flavor than usual, but they were a little different, not your typical refried beans, and of course, they had lots of flavor. Both my husband and I enjoyed all the food immensely. The bottom line here is that we will be back, and knowing us, because it was so unbelievably good and because this place is so close to our house, we will go back there within a few days. When we do go back, we will likely eat there and see if we can't get some help identifying which tacos are which. Maybe we can even find out if there is a milder salsa, and who knows, maybe they'll make the guacamole without jalapeños for me. I'll never know unless I try. The only thing I know so far is that their food is damn good. I have to make a quick apology to my Yelp friends because I usually have pictures to go along with everything that I write about. Because I spent so much time trying to identify the six tacos, I completely forgot to photograph the food. I'm quite certain I will remedy that in future visits, however. Last, but not least, this food is very reasonably priced, and I am very happy to say that, especially in this day and age of prices increasing everywhere. read more

I am very particular about my al pastor...sometimes it's too hot, but not flavorful, sometimes the pineapple is too much. I got the 805 burrito al pastor, and damn it was simply perfect. not overpowering in any aspect. Just the right amount of sweet. I took my first bite and was like...oh damn, that's good. We also got the chips and salsa with their guac. Never was a huge guac guy but have been coming around and my was surprised as I kept diving in for more big chunks. Salsa was delicious, not spicy. Wife ordered the enchiladas as she's particular about her enchiladas. She loved the non-traditional way they were prepared with the fresh cotija cheese. If she hadn't eatin so much of the salsa/guac herself, she would have finished it all, but took it home. It was all worth every penny. It was a Monday night, 8 pm-9pm and full...that's a good sign as well. Plenty of TVs for you sports fans as well. Wasn't loud either. read more

So great and tasty! Growing up in the San Fernando Valley and eating tacos my whole life, these are some of the best fish, carnitas and carne asada tacos I've ever had. It is most assuredly the best taco in Simi Valley. Meat was really tender and flavorful. Salsas are mild and spicy if you like. Fish taco is fried and flavorful--guacamole tasty. Tacos 805 is a small restaurant with a bar so they fill up quickly with customers. Service is friendly. There appears to be regular clientele at the bar and they speaks well of them. There are large screen TVs so the atmosphere is very casual. Will be back and I wouldn't mind waiting for a table for two. read more

First time trying this place today. I really liked the ambiance and the bar area was beautiful. I really should have tried a margarita but it was earlier in the day. The young lady said I could sit anywhere and she would help me. She brought me menu's and an ice water. I ordered the street style Al Pastor taco & a fish taco. They came out hot and both were delicious. My only complaint is the tortillas were small and thin, I think they should double up on them like usual street tacos come. There was a lot of al pastor meat and the piece of fish was big. The service was excellent and so was the food. Looking forward to coming back and trying other things and for sure a margarita. read more

Came in at 5:30 on a Tuesday and it was crowded! We found an open table for two. Ordered the chips and guacamole because I'm not sure if they bring chips to your table if you actually have to order them. The guacamole was good. It had big giant chunks of avocado and their salsa had good flavor. Their chips were just okay seemed kind of stale. Their Agua de piña was good. It's hard to find one made the right way, but theirs was a perfect balance of pineapple essence water lightly sweetened. It was strained so no fruit in it. We had the enchiladas. This was different. They use queso fresco inside and Then cotija on top. It's a different texture than what I'm used to, but it was still good. Then we tried 3 different tacos, the quesabirria, chicken dorado and street carne asada. The quesaBirria taco was messy, which is normal however there wasn't a lot of flavor with this one and not a lot of cheese on the one that I had it was mostly very oily drippy meat. Chicken taco Dorado had excellent chicken however the shell was very chewy and not cooked to a crispy texture. When I cook them, I like them well done. The Carne Asada taco is where they lost me. I had a piece of Carne Asada that was a giant piece of gristle and it was so hard to stomach. I was kind of grossed out after that. Glad I ate it last. With a 20% tip this all came out to $60 so prices are okay, about $5 on average per taco. The servers were nice but they do need more help, lots of people waiting to order when we left. The table next to us looked like they were getting impatient waiting. read more

Pick up order tonight. Been coming here for a couple of years. Was my favorite spot. Consistently delicious. Great proportions. Tonight was the worse. Chicken tacos much smaller tortillas had good amount of meat but not the usual and tasted good but not as good as usual. But the birria's not even close in taste or size and they put the smallest one in the bottom so we couldn't see in our pick up. Also we both had some fatty gross pieces in our Birrias. Truly disappointed. You guys were the best and our go to spot. read more

Popped in tonight for a quick dinner. The place was packed for a Thursday night. So glad to see the community supporting an independent restaurant. Sat at the bar and was tended to right away. My meal came out.in less.than 10 minutes. There was no skimping on the meat in my birria street taco. The papa asada was huge, enough for two meals. Always a great meal in a great atmosphere. read more

This place serves baller tacos. The taco birria is a standout. The pork belly wasn't traditional belly and felt like shredded meat but at $4 a taco it's all good. Good service and nice ambiance. read more

Hidden in the unsuspecting folds of a Simi Valley strip mall lies Tacos 805, a veritable culinary treasure trove that transforms the mundane into the extraordinary. This establishment is a regular port of call for my family's gastronomic excursions. Each member has their stalwart favorites: my daughter with her strategically partitioned chicken burrito, ensuring a delightful midnight snack; my son, who plunges with gusto into the soul-warming embrace of quesabirria tacos and their loyal consommé companion so rich and delicious one may want to jump in and bathe themselves if not for social norms; and my wife, who dances each time with the vibrant nopal street tacos that perfectly blend the flavors of the desert with the charm of a metropolis. On the heels of an enlightening morning mass that stirred my soul towards new horizons, I found myself breaking from tradition. I typically delight in the tacos duros, however, the call of chilaquiles was irresistible--a dish I've courted throughout Southern California, always chasing the promise of perfection. And there, amidst the humdrum backdrop of commerce, I discovered the holy grail of chilaquiles at Tacos 805. Not just any chilaquiles, but a masterpiece draped in a house-made red salsa that sang with the fires of culinary passion, a salsa so divine it could convert the unfaithful. Beneath this zesty veil, chips, beans, and rice conspired to create a foundation as steadfast as the San Andreas. Topped with fried eggs whose yolks spilled like golden rivers across a landscape of cilantro and cotija, and a drizzle of crema that whispered sweet nothings to my taste buds, it was a dish to make a grown man weep with joy. From this day forth, my allegiance has shifted; the chilaquiles at Tacos 805 have captured my culinary heart and claimed their spot as my new Sunday tradition. This unsuspecting strip mall eatery, with its unassuming facade, is not just a place to eat. No, it's a place to discover the flavors you've been dreaming of, served with a side of family joy and a sprinkling of strip mall magic. Come for the tacos, stay for the chilaquiles, and leave with the knowledge that sometimes, the best treasures are hidden in plain sight, waiting between a Dental Office and a Domino's. read more

Very good food and service. My mango margarita was really good too! The asada taco Mexicali style is a must! We also enjoyed their chips and salsa, very fresh. My only gripe was that the nopal taco didn't have much nopal in it. Don't get me wrong, it was tasty but I think it was due to the cheese and pickled onions. I would definitely return if I'm ever in the area. It was getting pretty busy when we left around 5p. read more

The food and staff at Taco 805 in Simi Valley are great, but the manager during our visit was very unprofessional. We were a group of about 25 people (6 families) coming for lunch after a sporting event. When we asked for group seating, the manager said it would take a while, which we completely understood given our size. Since we didn't want to wait, we suggested splitting up and sitting at separate tables since there were a few open ones. He was hesitant but eventually agreed. The first issue came when we asked for separate checks, as we were sitting separately. He said it wasn't possible, which didn't make sense to us. Then, a few minutes later, he informed us that the bill would still include a "large party" gratuity, even though we weren't seated together. I told him that people would tip if the service was good, and adding this automatically felt unnecessary. What really shocked me was when I mentioned that this didn't feel welcoming, and he responded with, "You don't have to come to Taco 805." That's not something you say to paying customers. despite the good food and great service from the other staff, I won't be returning to this place because of that one unprofessional experience. Unfortunately, they've lost some local customers. read more

Great atmosphere...but the food was a bit undercooked. Both my daughter and her boyfriend had a bit of food poisoning.

Bomb food and great service!! We will be coming back. And if you love sports they have multiple games on you can watch.

We absolutely love this place. The Cerveza is cold and the tacos are bomb ! Gets a little packed, but absolutely worth the wait ! My fav is the Al Pastor taco. Hubby loves the Quesabirria Tacos w/ consommé. We have tried a few menu items and nothing has disappointed yet. read more

Horrible service and very uneducated rude staff member on the team, a guy in his 30s with tattoos. I asked for a refund as i was served moldy bread and couldn't wait for them to remake as i was on my lunch break. He called the owner and was like "how do i process a refund on uber eats the customer does not LIKE his food". I simply stated it's not that i don't like it, I'm unable to eat it!! Here is where the uneducated part comes in, after my remark He's like "instead of arguing with me i could of made you one already." Like how was that arguing when we exchanged two sentences. Instead he should have told whoever he called that the staff served bad bread and the customer wants a refund through Uber. Take accountability buddy. read more

This is a tiny restaurant, maybe 6 tables a few seats at the bar. We were greeted and told to just pick a table. The server was quick with the menus and took our drink order. Beer, wine , and margaritas, are the options. I noticed this establishment doesn't start with chips and salsa. You have to order the guacamole and that comes with the chips and salsa. We wanted to start with the birria pizza, it is on the appetizer menu. The server asked if we wanted it first before our entrees. We agreed but the first dish they brought out was my taco order, then the pizza then about 7 minutes later my wife's entree and maybe 2 minutes later my son's entree. Clearly timing is an issue. We started with the pizza. Lots of places use a giant tortilla as a Mexican pizza crust but this was an actual pizza dough, with a spicy red sauce, cheese, red onions and lots of meat. The pizza was a high quality dish. Pollo asado, carnitas, and a chorizo taco was my dinner. The chorizo taco was the best one on my plate. The carnitas was good and the chicken was underwhelming. My son had the al pastor, asada, and a fish taco. The fish taco was our favorite, the al pastors and asada were both really good. My wife has the California burrito. Rice, beans, French fries, cheese, and carne asada. She thought the burrito was okay. The staff was friendly and we would like to return to try other dishes. read more

I came for the first time last week... & will be back this weekend. I was craving something fresh & the tostada de ceviche mixta hit the spot!! It was a Thursday night & we had to wait about 15 minutes for a table for two to clear up. My friend & I were put on the waiting & a party of two got seated before us even though we had arrived before them. But once seated food came out quickly. We were looking forward to dessert too, but it hadn't been offered & by the time we asked the kitchen was closed. All in all I will be back, the space was inviting, but small tables close together. Looking forward to my food tomorrow! read more
