Restaurantji presents Sylmar's standout Mexican dining destinations.
“I’m a middle aged white foodie, traveled the world and mexico, and yep, this place knows what it’s doing! (If I may humbly say so ;) The green sauce on the tacos carnitas (the only thing I had), shows they understand authentic Mexican cooking. Lovvve that. Like this flavor is what you’d find IN mexico.Only thing I prefer is the carnitas more pulled vs big chunks but that’s splitting hairs. And the guy who owns it or at least works there is a genuine sweetheart.I have a nearby storage space so I’ve had to explore the area for food. What a gem discovery??“
“The food her is absolutely delicious! The prices are fair, the portions are great, and the salsas are divine! Their tortillas are hand made and everything is cooked to order. 10/10 highly recommend!Vegetarian options: Quesadillas, beans, rice, Aguas FrescasKid-friendliness: My daughter loves the quesadillas. They are always so full of cheese with the best kind of stretchy cheese.“
“A very positive dining experience. The staff is awesome and the food delicious. From your first visit you're treated like an old friend. They even remembered my name after my first visit. Don't miss out, give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. “
“We were a party of 6 and especially liked the Durango with chorizo, the Mole (Oaxaca) and Cochinita pibil (Yucatán). The horchata was A+ and my friend was overwhelmed by his cafe olle. The woman who waited on us might have been the owner, I am not sure, but she was so kind and clearly proud of the food here (rightfully). The atmosphere is very relaxed with an undersea theme that I thought was quirky and charming. This place is very good!“
“Amazing food!! Great friendly service. I am hooked I have been getting my shrimp from MichexGod for a while now and it is one of those foods that you'd say "I can eat this everyday for lunch" the shrimp is big and delicious and the botana is full of flavor! From the lemon to the amazing sauces not to mention they top it with the chili powder, making every bite an amazing, sweet, and citrusy adventure that you dont want to end. The tacos on the other side are delicious and very filling. They also have taco Thurdays, so this Thursday make sure you stop by and take your tastebuds on an amazing journey. Service: 100% Taste:100% Price:$$“
“We tried the location in Santa Clarita after bowling. I did know there was a location close to us. We were excited to try and see if we had the same experience. The restaurant was clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was out pretty fast. The tacos de asada were great. Especially with the salsa. The birria quesadilla was full of meat the consomé was full of flavor. The Guanato fries were both delicious. I had mine with everything. My son opted to put the salsa as he went. The al pastor and chorizo did taste a lot like clove which I'm not a huge fan of. That wasn't the case at the Santa Clarita location. Other than that, pretty solid food.“
“I've been having food here for as long as I can remember, always a pleasure to eat here and enjoy their food! I personally like their Asada, Tripa, Al Pastor, Tacos. Horchata is fire as well here. Enchiladas, and even their Shrimp Cocktails are great too!“
“Inside Earth Force Nursery! Beautiful atmosphere to relax and stay away from the noise of the big city! They host small events like birthday parties. My only recommendation is to bring bug spray and maybe bring a light sweater if you are the coldish type… Highly recommended!“
“Every time I order I get the chicken meatball soup. It no joke helped me when I had COVID 2 weeks ago. . I didn't take pictures but it comes with . A side a ride and homemade corn Tortillas and the fixings to go in the soup . It's so. Yummy. I'll be ordering again from you “
“After a long day at a volleyball tournament, we found this gem just 1 mile from where we were...And it didn't disappoint. Since it was a Saturday, I opted to get their menudo and it was phenomenal! A big bowl of gelatinous goodness. It came in a huge bowl that could have fed two to three persons. I opted not to get any tortillas and glad that I didn't or else I would have no more room in my belly. We also got some Barbacoa and lengua tacos. Their rice and beans was great and it hit the spot. The best treat was drop fried and salted jalapeño peppers. When in Sylmar, you have to try this small, Mexican gem!“
“In addition to all the staff. They are excellent hosts, the food is very delicious, they have parking and the food and all the margaritas. You are 10 the truth. Very very delicious. All. The restaurant inside. Are. It makes you warm. Feel a lot. Peace of mind many. Congratulations and more “
“My new favorite taco truck… We are not in this area too often, but when we are, we’re always looking, the last couple times around have not gone well, and my wife, being the biggest critic between the two of us is not a joke, no small feat to get smiles out of her. I will make it a point to visit this taco truck every time I’m in the area.Well done Don Cuco !!“
“Okay, so you’re looking for a quick bit to eat and not too bad on your pockets, this is the place for you. Normally there is a line so if you can order ahead, I would. The customer service is good and they ask the necessary questions to make sure your order is right before making it final. I got supreme nachos today and by the look of my before and after videos, you can tell I liked it. I got it without beans just because I don’t like to do all the carbs at once but still, it worked out for me. They plenty of options for other choices in food and you can customize it how you want it. I would definitely recommend you go to this place. Try it out. Most people probably see it from the freeway or stumble upon it when they get gas. That station is really popular. Oh yeah, they have fresh Fresca at the restaurant also. Very good and very fresh. You won’t be disappointed.“
“A quaint, relaxing place to have lunch with your friend. As a heads up, the chilli cheese fries don't have actual chilli and the pupusas are a bit on the bland side compared to the street pupusas nearby, and the nachos aren't too spectacular either, BUT don't let three dishes stop me from praising the rest I've tried. I never had messier tostadas in my life, but they were dang good and exactly what I needed on a hot day. XD Their hotdogs are delicious, as well as their cheesecakes, and I consider myself a cheesecake expert. The horchata, champurrado, tacos, rice, and beans are just right. Sometimes the rice might turn out paler than usual, likely due to running out of ingredients, but that's ok. They still manage to make it work. But the thing they have that I usually get is the chorizo burrito. Absolutely delicious.They never got my order wrong despite my limited Spanish, and the chef speaks English in case you ever need help, so don't hesitate to go just because of the language barrier. They worth it. Don't bring your coat. Is hot in there. ^^“
“I have had Pupusas at over 30places or more in Los Angeles and California and across the states to Florida. I ordered a Carne asada pupusa and it was hands down the best I have had. As big as my hand and thick and full of meat and cheese. Everything here is delicious! Great Job ! Thank you for the wonderful food amd nice staff! Takes a while but they are making everything fresh!“
“Best menudo in SFV and the birria is also delicious served with handmade tortillas. I've also have had there tacos de chicharron en chile also bomb jayamitla always comes thru on these items never disappoints! As for the rest of their menu haven't tried cuz I always go for my usual up top. Ps. Don't forget to ask for their oregano !“
“Stopped by to get some late tacos. Pleasantly greeted by a very nice family, father, mother, sons and their daughter. Not only are they a very charming family, the food is great. So far I tried, Tacos de asada, al pastor and cabeza. Mulitas de asada, al pastor, vampiro de asada and a vampiro in a mulita de asada. I will definitely stop by again to try more items from their menu. They've gained a new customer.“
