Great place to eat. My co workers eat ate their for lunch and everyone was satisfied. I'm from East Los Angeles and finding a good Mexican food restaurant is hard in this part of town. But when we found this place it taste like my grandmothers cooking. One the be sure to order a glass of milk if you request the Habanero hot sauce. Everyone starting sweating after we tried that.

Awesome food! Ordered 6 dozen tamales for Christmas Eve—they were steaming fresh, extra juicy and delicious! All the folks who work at Carrillos are super friendly and really customer-focused. So glad they’re here in SIMI!

I love their food I order a lot. But I got the soft tacos meal. I thought it would have lettuce in it, also the meat looked over cooked or was the last bit in the pan just very dry. I usually get the fried taco's. But doesn’t deter me.

I've been coming here for 20 years and I think this is the best location out of all 3. Everything here is great, my favorite is the Surf n Turf Burrito with Carne Asada & Shrimp, and the wet Burrito. The Chicken tacos are really good too and huge. The owner Steve is the best as well as his son and everyone else that works there, everyone is always friendly the service is fast and the restaurant is always spotless clean. I hope this place never closes I'll be going here for another 20 years..

The food, service and quality has been consistent since the 90's. I started visiting Carrillo's in San Fernando but then i moved out to the Simi area and had some concerns it would not be the same, but i was so happy to discover it is the same great quality. highly recommend their food and especially their hand made tortillas.

You can't go wrong with ordering Mexican food from this place. The burrito's that are less than $8 can easily feed two hungry people. There is plenty of parking out front and plenty of seating inside. The food is right is made in a open kitchen, I think this place is family run but I can't be sure...the food definitely taste like what grandma used to make. There is no formal table service here; you order at the register have a seat with your chips and salsa and wait for the deliciousness to arrive. Bring your appetite.
