Amazing quesabirria tacos! We've been here a few times just for the birria and it's always been great. This time I tried something else and got a pastor burrito (my favorite at any Mexican restaurant) and it was something special. My new favorite in town and a must go for anyone rolling through. The food comes out quick, less than 10 minutes every time we've been. Hope this place stays around a while! Also, the habanero salsa is amazing so give it a shot. It's really freaking hot but worth it. read more

My work takes me all over, I had hear of this tacos place, but I hadn't had a chance to stop by until today. Some of the most delicious tacos I have tasted. I had the shrimp and fish tacos, I licked the tray clean. Disgusting I know that they were that good. Service was great they take your order pick a table and then your buzzer rings. Self serve, place is small I little difficult to enter as it's next to freeway entry, parking is very limited, if your in the are this are some tacos you got to try will be back with family. read more

I have been going to this place for years. Whether the line is long and wrapped around the building or a quick walk in, I go as soon as I land from the airport. Please don't get discouraged if the line is long. It takes a bit but it's worth it and each line has their own menu so make sure you're in the right one when you're waiting. The prices are decent too for amazing food. My go to is the Al pastor tacos and I get their cheese quesadillas and ask for pineapple! read more

"Tacos El Diablo is hands down my go-to spot for killer carnitas! I can't get enough of their gorditas, sope, and the nachos de carnitas of course-- every bite is packed with flavor. The vibes are chill, the portions are perfect, and it's the kind of place that makes you crave tacos all week long. Highly recommend if you love authentic, delicious Mexican eats!" Make sure you don't offer the quesadilla because, at this location they don't make it "tortilla de mano" its a regular flour tortilla... I was heart-broken about this! Please adjust your menu to reflect this our have the person taking the order say this... $15 for a quesadilla is not worth it... if it's a regular floor tortilla! By the way... I love the sweet girl with the colored eyes she has the best customer service! Thanks for being kind! read more

Tacos El Diablo - Two chicken tacos... Get the habanero salsa! - Tacos Near Me - Ventura, California

I don't know what it is about this location, but they're what the French call "les incompétents." Three years of weirdness every time we visit. Phone orders or ordering at the window, it doesn't seem to matter. They don't seem to care. I feel like every customer I see is walking on eggshells ordering from the Soup Nazi. Nobody has fun interacting with the staff. It's annoying to witness. C'mon guys! Your food is decent! At least be polite to some of the customers that pay your bills. I ran restaurants for 15 years. Here's my take: They barely pay attention when taking your order, then they get the order wrong. They add random ingredients and take out random ingredients. We've had missing food, extra food (that's why they earned the star), but it's either been greasy, dry, or OK but always inconsistent. Looong waits and lukewarm food? Someone's not paying attention back there. And they have this bratty little attitude at the window. It all adds to the classic we-don't-give-a-s#!t vibe. If it was a cool spot it wouldn't be a big deal. But there's nothing about the place that feels special enough to warrant the apathetic sass. It's the kind of place where the staff makes you feel like you're inconveniencing them by existing. Sorry I want to trade you money for food. Excerpt from tonight: "Hi, can I get a bean burrito for a kid with just beans?" "Um, we can't make a burrito with beans only." "Oh. Do you do a bean and cheese burrito?" "Yeah." "OK, could I get a bean and cheese burrito but with no cheese?" "Yeah." "Thanks." That bean burrito was $12. And had cheese on it hahaha. F me. If you can't make it, you can't make it. But don't charge me for something I didn't want to order. We talked about that a few minutes ago, remember? Hello? Person at the restaurant who should know how to run the point-of-sale machine and input orders? Why are you so bad at your job? Why are you so mad at your job? Is the truth that you're just sad at your job? It's a training issue. I'm guessing whoever manages the place is either fried or not around or incompetent themselves. The customer-facing staff exemplify the typical, modern customer service experience we all know and despise. Hey Ventura location! Since you're a mid-grade restaurant, you can choose one: rude, incompetent, or slow. You don't get to be all three! It's a bummer cause on the right day, the food's not bad. But the process to get it is absurd. read more

Best Tacos in Ventura -- Hands Down! Tacos El Diablo is the taco spot in Ventura. I've tried plenty of places, but nothing compares to the flavor and quality here. Their meat is incredibly tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. And don't even get me started on the salsas -- the red and habanero ones are absolutely to die for. Spicy, bold, and packed with flavor that takes everything to the next level. If you're a taco lover, this place is a must. Consistently amazing food and the kind of spot you keep coming back to. Five stars, no question! read more

Little hole in a wall, you can easily miss it but if you do, you will miss some good seafood tacos, we had gotten two battered fish and shrimp tacos to keep it light. They were actually pretty big tacos, def worth your buck. Heads up if you get the Habanero Aioli or Habanero chipotle, I forgot what it was called but can't handle spice don't put it on, if you spicy- only a few drops, and love spicy- drench it. I forgot to taste it and poured it, mouth was burninglol read more

Tacos El Diablo - Yellow Sauce is the Habanero one - Tacos Near Me - Ventura, California

Visiting from MT. Best tacos I have ever eaten!!! My new favorite place! Birria and Pastor pretty darn fantastic!

Super quick and easy experience! We parked, ordered right away, and our food came out fast. The ambiance is really charming, and the back outdoor area is such a hidden gem....quiet, cute, and perfect for enjoying a meal. The food was delicious and super affordable for the portion sizes. The chili verde had a great kick, but the fish tacos totally stole the show. Light, crispy, and full of flavor. Definitely a great spot to sit down and enjoy a tasty, budget-friendly meal. Plenty of parking, though it can be a little tricky to get into the lot during rush hour. Will definitely be back! read more

I seriously do not understand how this place has any good reviews. The food is terrible! I ordered a quesabirria taco and a carne asada taco. It looked more like a pile of grease (seriously)! I didn't even end up eating the first one. Tried the carne asada and it was just okay at best. They hide their prices on by but displaying them in the menu or on any of the signs and then charge prices as if you were at some upscale place when it's just an outside taco stand. It's just a surprise when they ring you up and definitely a surprise when they deliver the food because it is barely edible. Seating is just some benches outside put on top of dirt. Parking is a nightmare. Service is substandard. And if you look at my profile you will see I rarely leave a negative review. Definitely recommend going somewhere else! read more

Tacos are still good. Great meat quality and flavor. Love that they come with grilled and pickled onions on the side. The salsas are good too. All 3 have a kick so be ready for that. My review is going down a bit from last time. I tried the birria gordita today and it was okay. The beans don't have much flavor and the gordita itself also lacked some flavor. Very little birria inside and you basically only get the meat at the bottom of the gordita. My husband had the asada burrito and said it was decent. He also thought the beans could have more flavor. Parking is still a problem given that it's on a major street. I ordered online so just had the husband jump out of the car to avoid having to find parking nearby. Overall, still a good option when craving tacos. read more

Well well well.... Tacos el shit hole. This mexican restaurant wouldnt even do well in hell. Stopped here on my way home from del topia (no i wasnt on molly) and was hoping to get a familiar favorite to warm my belly. I ordered a BRC (bean rice and cheese) burrito. I have had issues in the past with degenerates not melting my cheese and just throwing it in raw. So i asked the they/them at the counter to make sure my cheese was melted. THEY replied with "of course it would be melted". OH OKAY!!! Upon slipping my teeth in the flesh of the burrito i found that crumbly powdery UNMELTED cheese. I was pissed. I marched my fat ass back to the counter to let them know the cheese was in-fact not melted. They TOSSSSSSED my shit back on the grill like the fuckin quarter back patrick mahomes. I open it and it just fell apart. You guys suck really bad. Wont be telling any of my boys about this joint. read more

So good! Fast & east, food was delicious ..................................

We tried three tacos (asada, carnitas, and birria) along with two quesabirria tacos with a side of rice and beans. The food was very tasty, although I felt it was a bit pricey. There was a lot of seating available, but I went on a rather slow day since the Tequila & Taco festival was going on at the fairgrounds. There is a restroom on site. read more

Came here for lunch. It was quite busy, which is always a good sign. Tacos (chicken & carnitas): The meat was good, clean, not greasy. The tortillas seemed homemade. Overall, tasty, but a bit small. I appreciate the presentation and the accompanying onions, salsa, radish. (no chips though!) A little pricey, but I recommend this place. One downside is the horrible parking situation. It's on a very busy, noisy street and they only have outdoor seating. read more

STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING and make plans to go to Tacos El Diablo. Seriously. (Except for today because it's Monday and they are closed ). I feel so bad just passing by this place by for so long. I thought to myself "great, another mediocre taco spot"... on top of being sad that Steak N' Hoagie was gone. I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE WRONG. This place is an absolute gem! The food is incredible, the service is outstanding and the ambiance is so fun. Colorful umbrellas, patio tables situated in a way that allow you to get sun or shade if you want. I also love the Banda jams while I eat. I've had everything on their menu and I love it all. But the pastor is their trophy menu item hands down. Perfectly marinated, outstanding flavor. They side garnish with pickled onions andddd marinated onion, limes... not to mention their salsa is $&@#%! AMAZING. I've recently gone on a health kick so I've been skipping the tortillas and they have been super accommodating. They even remember me when I order which is unexpected and nice Please note that they cook everything TO ORDER. Be patient, be nice. The owners have put everything into this place and it is quality. I've never waited more than 5-10 minutes for my food but I would wait longer if needed because it is consistent and DELICIOUS. Support small business, people! This place is comfort food heaven! You're welcome! read more

I have been several times and never disappointed. Their street tacos & quesadillas are my favorite. Love their salsa, which is soooo good and hot! Good flavor, fresh, fast and delicious. Parking at this location is tough! They have a couple of spots, but otherwise you have to fight for awkward street parking. Always leave satisfied and will be back again and again. read more

Service lady in the cashier was super rude to me My total was $20.04 and she ask me if I had four cents I told her no I gave her the coins that was in my wallet and she was super rude trying to explain to me how coins work as if I don't know! And it seems like a lot of people have alphas the same experience with this lady in the front from the reviews They should definitely not have this lady work in the front she is not very welcoming just plain rude old lady read more

Delicious and quick Mexican food! We tried two of every taco, the chicken quesadilla, horchata, and the churro donuts. All were super tasty. Food was ready within 10 minutes. My only negative is the total was a bit expensive and they have a 2 taco order minimum. read more

In a word, delicious. One star short of perfection because of the location and parking sitch. The food is def 5 stars.

Have been to a few Taco spots in Ventura and always wanted to try this place. Finally managed to make a stop on a recent road trip. We got there right as they opened so we ordering was easy and got our tacos prepared fairly quickly. Lots of people started coming after us to pick up orders so we felt like we got there just in time. The place had a nice outdoor seating area and they have two sections. Some parking but not many so not sure what it's like when they're really busy. We ordered the fish and shrimp tacos so we could try both. Really good and flavorful. Nice presentation as well. Would def try and come again next time I'm in the area. read more

Tacos el Diablo is really fire food. First off when ordering via the phone the employee is very helpful in placing your order and confirms your order and location( they have one in Oxnard and Ventura). They have updated the seating area and restroom area a considerable amount since the Hogie place. There is even a sign that says Cheesesteaks and bogies are available if you ask. But I haven't dared. The Al pastor is really good, full of flavor. The tacos are really good, and I love how the package them with paper in between so the tacos don't stick to each other. My absolute favorite is their habanero salsa. It looks rather unappealing and not spicy, but upon first taste you'll be amazed at the spice and flavor level. The spicy level is perfect for me and I ended up using the whole container- I absolutely loved it- I WANT THE RECIPE if possible! :) The green salsa is very delicious as well, similar consistency to Lalo's with the slimes tomatillos, but this salsa has more flavor than lalos. The red salsa was great, but honestly after the habanero salsa taste like water to me. The flavor is great and definitely a top notch salsa. All around their salsas are great. We ordered 5 tacos and 2 burritos. Our order came out to $38.65. Their menu does not reflect prices, which makes sense due to inflation and needing to update frequently, but I still think a restaurant should display their prices. I would guess the prices are $2.50/taco and $12 for a burrito. The burrito was fire just like last time. The chicken was diced chicken breast that was incredibly flavorful. The beans inside the burrito were perfect restaurant beans, nice and refried with plenty of flavor- I could eat those all day. Overall Tacos el Diablo is a great spot, I presume for traveling on the 101 it's perfect whether you're traveling north or south due to on ramps being pretty close. read more

I've been wanting to try this place and it's a great addition UI on to the 805 taco scene. You choose your meat and then the vehicle for it--taco, burrito, flauta, gordita and then you wait about 15 minutes. They have fun Spanish music playing and picnic tables to sit at. The food was fresh and flavorful and well priced. We tried all three of their salsas which were also delicious and spicy, as promised by the "El Diablo" name! We had a burrito and two tacos and the bill was $18. We will be back to try more things off of the menu. read more

So far these are the BEST quesabirria tacos around. I usually go to the Oxnard location however the Ventura location is consistent in flavor. Love that they serve them with grilled and picked onion and all the sides. Service is a walk up window and you pick up so nothing fancy. Their patio is cute with plants and parking is in back if none in front. Horchata is really good too. Only bad thing was the donut churros which taste sooo good but over fried this time. read more

Finally found a good taco spot in the downtown Ventura Area and I am so happy about this. I've heard from cocowrkers that this place was legit and I've been eyeballing this place for some time now. Came by on a Saturday for lunch and they were somewhat busy. After ordering our tacos we waited approximately 15 minutes for our food to come out. Server was very friendly and the seating is outside only. We ordered the quesobirria tacos, asada/Al pastor/ chorizo tacos and the churro donuts. ALL OF IT WAS SOLID. The quesobirra tacos were the star of this meal as these tacos were so flavorable. The consume had a great flavor and the grilled onions on the side was a nice touch. The chorizo tacos were amazing. Some Of the best chorizo I've had in general. They defiantly take the win out of the other meats. Asada and Al Pastor were ok, just wish it had a bit more flavor but overall still good tacos. The churro donuts were amazing! Such a great desert, highly recommend for anyone with a sweet tooth, you won't regret trying these. We paid $43 bucks for all our food which a bit pricy for tacos, but keep in mind this is downtown Ventura after all. Besides the food is truly so good that you won't mind paying the higher price. If your in the mood for a good taco please support this local buisness. read more

Came here for lunch on a Saturday. The parking lot is very small...maybe fits 3 cars. You order the food at a window and get a buzzer to pick up your food when it's ready. All the seating is outdoors, but plenty of umbrellas and shade. The quesobirria tacos were so good and much larger than we expected them to be. They are messy but very flavorful and juicy. The fish tacos were also good, especially with the green salsa. My husband liked his chorizo taco too, but he preferred the birria. The outdoor seating and restroom could have been a little cleaner. read more
