The food portion is average and the flavor is average as well. There is a taco special sign by the door and when we went in they told us it's only for Tuesday. The salsa bar is lacking, not a lot of choices, chips are minimal as well. Breakfast burrito's potato feels a little raw or just cooked. Not a lot of flavors. Interior is very outdated, staff is ok but you put your trash away yourself so not a lot of service per se. read more

Taqueria El Tapatio - 3 tacos plate - Mexican Near Me - Camarillo, California

After passing by this Mexican restaurant so many times I finally decided to try it. I enjoyed it so much the first time that I had it again within a few days. At times there would be a lady at a cart that seems to be making fresh tortilla or taco shells. The taco salad was very tasty and the shell was crispy but not oily. The shrimp tostada was in a separate container so the shell doesn't get soggy. Tasted similar to shrimp cerviche. The tacos dorados and super quesadilla were also very tasty. They don't offer beans options, only refried beans which I'm not a fan of so I opted to get all rice. The sign outside says #2 on it so there are several throughout Ventura county so it's worth trying if there's one near you. read more

For fast Mexican food, you cannot beat this place. Consistently delicious flavor, good food quality, always fast and always feeling. Plenty of condiments to flavor up your dish even more than it already is! I highly recommend. read more

I usually order the carne asada burritos, they are good. I recently went in the morning to order breakfast burritos,. Did not receive burritos but a plate of salty huevos rancheros with very watery beans and a separate plate of salty chorizo with potatoes. read more

So so so so so good! And the staff is really sweet! I like the salsa and Jamaica! My fav is the super burrito but tbh everything is sooo good! Very authentic and delicious. read more

Food was very average at best. Service was okay. Lady taking our order was kinda rude.

Great food & service. Been coming here forever & never disappoints. Definitely recommend.

The service is quick. Kinda like a hole in the wall. I ordered a wet burrito and she said it wasn't spicy but my taste buds are boiling and sparking so it certainly is too spicy for this gringa. I'll order something else next time. read more

Great customer service, great food. The place always clean. I have tried almost everything on their menu and I can say it's always taste amazing never changes. The salsa bar always full and they replace it often. read more

This resto is small but I love their decor. The ladies who take your order or deliver your food are very nice. I also love their super nachos. The toppings are more than the chips which I like. They have specials that I was not aware of - and during those specials you get chips and avocado and a free drink. This is my go to place every time I crave for some nachos read more

Venimos cada viernes por más de un año. We come every single Friday!! They make some of the best HOT plates around. Try it all! Burritos, tacos, costillas, enchiladas. The soups and homemade tortillas on the weekend. Always, always fresh. The owners and workers work very hard to attend every customer with everything they need and that's always what makes a business great. Thank you for all the great food always read more

Today I came in for the first time in a long while. The last time I was here I left a very unhappy customer and swore I wouldn't come back. However this time the level of customer service was excellent! I ordered a carne asada super burrito to go and it was ready very quickly. They brought me my food to the table where I was waiting with chips and napkins ready to go. The food and flavor were also very good. They have totally redeemed themselves and I will be back again. read more

Oh my goodness this was some tasty food. I'll be celebrating Hispanic heritage food here at this place. I mean these tacos y'all hit on point. 3 chorizo tacos and three asada tacos with extra cilantro y cebolla. I ate in the parking lot just in case it was nasty I'd already be in my car to go somewhere else and if it was good I could just call again and order more. These tacos were inhaled. Couldn't get a picture of the chorizo tacos because I didn't have time to fumble with my phone but once my inner hunger monster was satiated I took a picture of these asada tacos like a normal person. They have specials too! * I of course had to wake up and try their breakfast burrito the next day. Service has been pleasant. The burrito was pretty good, the potatoes are slightly too large and it needs onions and cilantro added to make it less dry. It's huge though and they have a salsa bar. read more

My family's fave spot for burritos in Cam! It's super casual, no-frills spot nestled in the corner of a pretty big shopping plaza.The carnitas burrito and it hits every time. I alternate between that and their chicken quesadilla. The chicken quesadilla is the biggest, cheesiest quesadilla that I've ever had in my entire life. It's huge, so I normally split that with my mom. Prices seem to have gone up in the last couple of years, but we continue to come for the great food! read more

I love this mini "chain." It has delicious authentic food and has multiple locations throughout Ventura County. I usually get the Super Nachos and some Super Tacos but have had other menu items like quesadillas, flautas, and breakfast burritos as well. The staff is always nice and the ambiance is decent. Only downside is they have limited seating. Will be returning in the future. read more

Food is amazing and authentic, prices are good. Fast service. They have great specials Mon-Friday. Great for Casual dining. read more

The hard shell tacos were good, the carne asada burrito was just ok, and the nachos were not all that great. Our main complaint on the nachos was the majority of the cheese wasn't melted and the salsa they put on top made the chips a soggy mess. The cashier was super friendly and helpful, and the food came out quick. Better options in the area. read more

Special posted at the door - Colorado burrito $9.49 - perfect that is exactly what I came in for. I asked to add sour cream, total was $12.50 = $3 for a dallop or sour cream? Lo and behold, no sour cream in the burrito and I have no idea what the heck they gave me. It tasted like carnitas but sure as hell did not taste or look like traditional Colorado. Made it four bites and then tossed $12.50 in the trash because my dog doesn't have thumbs. Next time I want to piss away hard earned cash I'll be sure to head to Chumash Casino instead. Never again. read more

The mister wanted tacos. I reminded him we have tacos at home. He still wanted some. I tried to steer him away from unknown food in unfamiliar areas. He still insisted. Okay tacos it is. I was super hopeful with the 4 star. I was raised in Ventura County and left in early 2000. 99% of my meals were at the family dinner table. Including homemade tacos. Now this is just my personal opinion. I was not a fan of this place. What went wrong? Horchatta was watered down. Well of course it would be as it sits in one of those big ice filled jugs. Chips were stale and the carne asada tacos were mediocre. I felt so bad that the Mister did not enjoy his lunch. We have a handful of taco places in Orange County that we really enjoy. This particular place did not agree with our taste buds. The carne asada was not flavorful at all. The meat was chewy and hurt the Misters teeth from knawing on it. Service was okay. A native Spanish speaker took cuts and they helped them first. Don't underestimate if I can speak it or not. Huge menu and huge crowds. Plenty of parking. So they must be doing something right. It just wasn't right for us. P.S. stay off your phone when ordering. They don't like that. read more

What this place lacks in ambiance is made up for with the quality of the food. There's nothing particularly surprising in the menu apart from lengua (beef tongue) and cabeza (roasted head). The tortillas are good; there's a tenderness to their flour tortillas that I like. The burritos are large enough to fill two light-eaters and the sauce for the wet burritos pairs very well with carnitas or chorizo. The staff is friendly, and the service runs at medium speed. read more

I don't write many reviews but from someone who was born and raised in Camarillo and grew up coming here throughout my childhood/adolescence it makes me so sad how bad this place is now. I know COVID affected a lot of business so maybe new owners? Idk. Food was really bad, the meat was all fat, asada had no flavor, tortillas were literally falling apart and they took away all their yummy variety of different salsas. To top it off, the lady at the counter was rude AF! God forbid you asked for something because she'd just about roll her eyes at you and when she brought our food to our table she pretty much slammed it in front of us without saying anything and walked away. My one star is purely for the nostalgic memory of the location and the chile relleno was kinda decent. Kinda. I hate to say don't come here but there are other places in Cam that are way better. Go to Establos instead! read more

Bad service lady at the cash register is always mad .. the food is ok ambiance is dark

Come here! This place is incredible! I needed lunch a few weeks ago and stopped in here because Tacos. I was a bit overwhelmed with the menu choices (bleh, only because I was a newcomer!) so I asked the young man for just a soft taco. I chose Carnitas because IMO you can't ever be wrong with ordering Carnitas. I loved the decor on the walls and I was surprised at how large the restaurant was inside. On this day my order was to go, but as I've been reading other Yelpers I MUST GO BACK and try their ceviche and shrimp cocktail. My taco was superb. Always always always choose cilantro and onion because yes. The meat was very flavorful and the chips were fresh and so tasted so good! (The pic isn't loading here for some reason but you can see it under TIPS.) I highly recommend this place! read more

This place was amazing!! I ordered the carne asada burrito and it was absolutely scrumptious. There was something about the perfectly cooked juicy beef that left me wanting more. Hit this place up!! My best friend ordered some tacos that came with rice and beans. The service is definitely not the best but the quality of the food makes up for it. Grabbed a burrito today on my way back home to SD. read more

Taqueria El Tapatio - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Camarillo, California

The food is okay, nothing too special about it. Their salsas are so watery it's more like juice. Their salsa bar is like they didn't even bother trying to make it look appeasing. The service sucks. The cashier is so unwelcoming and looked so bothered to be there. It felt so awkward walking up to the counter to order because there was no, "Hi what can I get for you?" Which I feel is the bare minimum, she literally did not say a word until she had to give us our total. It was pretty empty the whole time we were there. It was a disappointing meal, I had high hopes because the tapatío locations in Oxnard and Ventura are so great. But I wouldn't eat here again. It's best to just order in for pick up. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was because the food was decent. read more

I'm a very picky burrito eater. I ordered the super burrito with steak Wet and it was amazing!!! I could only eat half because it was so big! This was by far one of the best burritos I've had in a long time. Yumm! Oh their green salsa was great too! read more

In a county saturated with competition, "El Tap" is our favorite by far. Their wet burritos and hardshell chicken tacos can make a grown man cry! ‍ My ONLY issue? GUYS, make with the shredded BEEF tacos! You force us to go to your *competitors,*... just because you won't serve hardshell BEEF tacos? ‍ You're that close to havin it all! What gives? ‍ read more

Taqueria El Tapatio is located in a busy shopping center of Camarillo. When I'm craving a good burrito I either come here or Establos! This place has yet to disappoint. Food is really good and portions are plentiful. Their breakfast burritos are served all day and stuffed with bacon, eggs, and potatoes. As another yelper put it what this place lacks in ambiance and upkeep it makes up for with the food. read more

I ordered the Super Burrito (cabeza) and my gf had two tacos (al pastor & carnitas). At first glance, the burrito looked up to par. But as I unwrapped the foil, the tortilla was barely holding up. Note: A good burrito means that you're able to unwrap the whole thing and not have to worry about the contents bursting out. It decent tasting but had an odd consistency due to a combination of soggy refried beans, guac, and possibly sour cream? Halfway, I gave up on keeping it clean and let the contents fall out completely. Will definitely have to order it wrapped in two tortillas next time and update my review in hopes that it helps. The tacos looked good. Carnitas was commented to be better than Establos. But overall, still loving Establos more. read more

We love this place. A year or so ago we tried it and did not like it. We tried it again and are hooked. Many times I see a lady rolling out tortillas. We love the asada tacos and carnitas taco or burrito. We are a fan on their salsas too. It isn't the prettiest or hygienic restaurant and that could be because of the old colors. Behind to the kitchen, it looks clean. I disagree with the lady at the front. I look Hispanic but am half Chinese. She switched from Spanish to English as soon as I spoke English. If you smile or say something kind, she will respond in kind. I find everyone there helpful. I just wish I didn't have to drive 30 minutes to then. Lol. read more

Ordered for pick up and was waiting in line. They decided they were going to serve a guest that just came up behind me in line instead of myself who was next and at the counter. Food used to be good but now is just bland, no flavor in salsas either read more

Only reason this place got a 4 is the counter girl had a major attitude. Acted as if she couldn't understand my order in English or in Spanish. Did not acknowledge she filled my drink or that it was mine. Just set it on the counter. Also she made my cóctel de camarones. It wasn't full. Then when I tasted; flavorless and like ketchup and only included shrimp and avocado... she also included ketchup instead of salsa or tapatío like requested. Only reason it's not 1 star is my Tacos dorados de lengua were cooked well. And the cook brought them to me and he gave me salsa. read more
