Taqueria El Maizal

Such a great Mexican restaurant. The surface is so great. They are such wonderful people. The food is always delicious. I've probably eaten there about 18 times and it's never been bad. They're sauces. Great. They're fresh. Tortillas are great.

Good ceviche, good tacos!
I usually can tell a good place from the chips and salsa!
Service was attentive and chill! Ambiance was mellow and quiet for the time I was there!
I’d come here for authentic Mexican food!

Favorite place to get Mexican in town.

Owner was a worker here who bought out from previous owner, so you know he cares about the place and customers. You really feel like family when you come here.

Ordering is simple, go up to the counter and then sit down and wait for your food to be brought to you.

I almost always go for the whole fried fish. It's nice and smokey and not oily at all. You pull pieces off and eat with tortillas, rice, and beans. Will really fill you up. Don't worry about getting dirty and really get in there. And don't forget the softest part, the pieces behind the cheeks!

Excellent and authentic tacos with great salsas. The roja with roasted tomatoes, the verde with small tomatillos. Small touches like the wall murals and decor add to the atmosphere.

CALIFORNIA Burrito 🌯 is absolutely fire! It's the best around by far you won't be disappointed. But call in order to avoid wait or be patient. It's worth it

Salsa made fresh daily in house, aguas frescas, corn tortillas that don’t fall apart while holding your taco in your hand. What more could you want?

3 tacos and an agua fresca for $11 left me feeling more than satisfied. El Maizal also offers a selection of beers if that’s what you’re looking for. I’m grateful to have found this place for a delicious, price-conscious lunch.

Good customer service from cooks to cashier, extremely friendly people. The hand made tortilla tacos are the best. Ask them about the spiciest salsa lol if you can't handle spicy spicy then don't even ask, its only for the winners.

Such a great family owned business. The owner is always so nice. The food is delicious. I love the homemade salsa choices too. I have never had a bad food item here. My only complaint is that too many people know about this place and the wait time for order pick up has gotten longer. I guess great food can only stay a secret for so long.

Great mom and pop shop. Gets busy alot. Call ahead for pick up! Grab breakfast burritos every Sunday here.

GOOD MEXICAN FOOD IN SIMI?! Yes. Amazing. I'm half Mexican and grew up in the valley. Of all the Mexican places in Simi there was only one that I knew of that was good and one that was decent. UNTIL NOW. I just noticed this place. Man I've been missing out!!! I got the carne asada burrito, a chorizo taco, and an al pastor taco to try. All for $17. The burrito was SO GOOD! It just needed the red salsa on it that they give on the side. The chorizo was so flavorful! THEN the chips and salsa verde were SO GOOD. I don't even usually like salsa verde at all but this one has SO MUCH flavor, nice and roasty. I love the murals, decor, and music. It's so beautiful and tasteful. The man who I think is the owner was very nice. I can't wait to go back and try more things!!

Best tacos in Simi! Tortillas are made to order so it might take a couple more minutes than you might be used to but totally worth it. I have yet to venture to other dishes because the tacos are so good. Family owned and operated makes the customer service excellent.

Needed a quick lunch, had el pastor and asada tacos with a chicken quesadilla. I am really particular with my food, wasn't expecting much but lets just say i found my new go to taco spot when i come to the west coast.

We love this place for authentic Mexican sea food. Great taste and seasoning. The owner Hector always greets me with a smile and always polite. My favorite is "coctel de camaron" and "caldo de pescado". Yumm getting hungry again. You will love this place.

Had an awesome carne asada burrito and rice. Burrito was custom made to my request and it earned a 10/10! I could eat one every day here. Rice was very good and I smothered it with their wonderful green salsa. Staff is super friendly and truly the happiest staff I have ever encountered in a restaurant. If this place isn't in your weekly rotation, it should be! Love it.

Best tortillas ever! Love this place. I go at least once a week and I'd go more if my waistline and wallet would allow. Service is great, and although the food MAY be a little slow to come out when it's packed, the flavor more than makes up for it. I always get sad halfway through my meal.

This place was amazing. The food was great and the price was right. The staff was really helpfull and kind. The seating is limited and the place seems to get a constant flow of customers, but my wife and I did not wait long for a table. I would definitely come back again!!!!

Great experience. Everything was done fast and with a smile. Street tacos had freshly made tortillas. The hard tacos had an amazing crunch. Can't wait to go back and try the pastor.

I picked up a dinner here at El Maizal Mexican Food, this is one of my number 1 Mexican restaurant to have my meal. I been eating here for years, and there staff knows me well, they are friendly and nice to all of their customers, they make sure they gave much attention to everyone, and making sure each of us are not waiting long or get bored waiting. They are entertaining customers with a smile and pleasant conversation. Food is yummy, I loved their Chilaquiles and Carnitas Tacos the best I also recommend the Quesadillas.

Awesome tacos. We had both shrimp and carne asada tacos. Very good. The staff was great as well. We are here visiting family, but will be back again.

Been living in ND for 35 years. Been living with substandard Mexican food for 35 years.
Came to Simi Valley for Reagan Library and had to have some real Mexican food... this really fit the bill. The corn tortillas didn't even make it back to the hotel-they were delicious. The lengua burrito was excellent as were the taquitos my husband ordered and the carne asada burrito. They also have very good horchata- nice taste of vanilla without too much sugar. The people there were super nice,too!!
You won't be sorry!
