La Tapatia II

The best authentic food for an amazing price. Other places charge way to much and lack the quality. Wait time is not long even when it’s a full house. You can call in to order take out. I love the carne asada tacos and the posole on the weekends.

Recently went there and it seems as if food has changed. Used to have best burritos, Chilaquiles had too much sour salsa in them and I probably won’t be going back because I found a hair in my food. Should have better sanitation and it’s sad to see their horchata is not homemade like before. Service is not always friendly.
Recientemente fui a comer y parece que la comida ha cambiado. Tenían los mejores burritos y la salsa de los chilaquiles estaba amarga. Probablemente no regresare porque encontré un pelo en mi comida. Deberían de tener mejor sanitario y lástima que la horchata es de máquina y no de receta. Servicio puede mejorar.

Very very good! I can’t notice anything as a drawback. Their carnitas are excellent along with their chorizo, their basic meats are also very good such as their pastor and asada. Their salsas are perfect and compliment the food. Definitely recommend the carnitas torta along with a chorizo taco and an ice cold coca cola.

Shits bomb! Try your burrito wet it is fantastic. Except the little Mexican chick always charges me 4 $ for some guacamole and it’s not even a big side. Other than that best burrito in town way better than corrales

I tried their super pork burrito wet. And that sauce that they pour over the burrito is just so yummy! This place can do no wrong. Best butritos in town!

Not bad! Would come eat again: p

After riding my bicycle past this place numerous times, I finally gave it a try. I got camarones a la diabla to go. So damn spicy, so damn tasty. I will have to go back. The shrimp was absolutely amazing, even though my stomach was reeling from the heat the next day.
I’ll write more as I get to try other dishes. What others say holds true for me: great big tvs, friendly staff and good beers in the fridge.
But, man was the shrimp spicy and tasty!

Love this Place! Carne Asada Burrito is delicious. Food is always great. Huge portions. They give great customer service fast friendly staff. Great place to stop and grab a bite to eat. This Place is in Between Cordellos Pizza and Discovery Ventura.

Have been going here regularly with my father since it first opened. the employees are always welcoming us from the kitchen with yells of «heyyyy!!! hello my friends» as we return over and over. I even chose to come here for my birthday dinner 3 years ago since I was craving this out of all places haha. My dad and I like to enjoy a couple beers here as you will never get bothered. when my father brings our greyhound with us the Chefs will cook something light and special just for the dog, such a family oriented restaurant. the salsa bar is REALLY good. This is authentic Mexican food at its finest, the people and all. Forget corales and the watered down burritos, this is MUCH BETTER. my favorite item is the classic wet burrito with asada.

Good and inexpensive mexican food is here!

Great authentic Mexican food and one of the best salsa bars in Ventura. Try the guacamole salsa, it has habanero in it and it’s addictive!!! Love this place!

We walked in and were waiting for service or at least acknowledged and the girl that was working there never took the time to help us. Maybe we were suppose to order at the register? In either case she was looking at us with the dumbest look on her face. After about 5 minutes, we decided to walk out. SERVICE SUCKS! FYI-​we were there Sunday afternoon around 12 noon.

Dare I say that my burrito had way too much asada! Um yeah needless to say they sure didnt skimp on the meat. Burrito was yummy I’d definitely get one again, well maybe with not so much meat. Cuz wow I am full (had a regular burrito with Asada).
Got it to go. Didnt take too long, perhaps 7 – 10 min. Definitely quicker than the wait time at Corrales during the lunch rush.

Awesome location, great prices, sweet people who work here. Everything here is killer!

I come to this place every now and than. i always order their Chicken Flautas. very very good. the price is reasonable I usually get the combo to go. the place itself is not much to look at its really a hole in the Wall but who cares about that right when they serve up some good Mexican food! will keep coming back and ordering to go like always.

Who doesn’t like salty, spicey food?
How about a brick burrito with super fatty pastor?
Or a luke warm asada burrito?
Who doesn’t wish you’d gone somewhere else for a dinner to go?
I have been there a few times, and sometimes its good, and sometimes its not– and tonight, it was not. I was impressed enough before to go back, but I think I hit my own burrito brick wall.

Decent burritos (the same quality as Corralles). Good guacamole on the veggie burritos. The salsa is gross.
It’s nice that they speak spanish there as does most of their clientele. It’s pretty cheap and they have pozole and menudo on the weekends.

I just got back from this spot and i was a lil disappointed. I ordered a shrimp cocktail. It was a lil warm, which was a total bust. I had a beer and as soon as i opened it, i smelled that skunk smell that beers get after sitting in the fridge for a while. The menu looked pretty good, but my first impresion wasnt’ that good so i’ll think twice before going back there. Also, i didn’t see no visible sanitation area!

Just go there and order something you have never eaten before, you won’t be dissapointed. Great breakfast burritos that put Corrales to shame. In second thought, just go to Corrales and keep this gem burried in the rough.

Been eating this stuff for over a year and you really need to order the carne asada torta with Avocado. This is a real hole in the wall and doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the portions are really worth it. Went with my mother and she tried the ceviche tostada wich she really enjoyed. The tostada was really packed with tons of fish and very citrusy, so I highly recommend the tostada and the carne asada torta (which I’ve had for years) (with avocado).
They also have their own sauce on the salsa bar (mild on the far left and habanero on the far right side. Ignore the prostitution near the motel but if you got the cash it’s all you, but for 12 bucks you get a big fat juicy carne asada torta, packed ceviche toastada and extra large horchata drink with chips. They even have a 42″ TV on the inside and have a fridge with beers by the bottle.
Another thing that looked real popular (every table had one ordered) was the mexican shrimp cocktail, will definitely try this next time!
Good food, big portions and really good horchata for a real decent price.
