Villanueva Mexican Restaurant

I love this place! I have come here way too many times to count. I never leave unsatisfied. Food and salsa is always fresh, cooked to order, and SUPER tasty. It's run by a couple of guys who are always friendly and personable. I love ordering a couple of their shrimp or fish tacos with a cold horchata😍. But honestly everything on their menu is just so tasty 😋 Great prices and good portions. Super happy I found them while walking down the street.

Oscar was very helpful and made the overall experience one I will return. Stop by here if you have chance

I drive Miles to get here to get the Chatsworth burrito. Customer for life

This is seriously the best Mexican place in the entire valley! Everything is always so good! Everyone is super friendly! Ever single salsa is fresh and delicious and the price is a great deal for the food you get. My number one spot!!

I just stopped by this place for the first time, and ordered 2 breakfast burritos- to go. Honestly, I have not even ate my burrito yet- and just from my experience alone, can give this place a 5 star rating! The customer service was exceptional! Not forced or fake- both employees that helped with my order were genuine and pleasant. It seemed like they honestly were happy to be working there-which is rare, but makes a world of difference in the atmosphere! Furthermore, the place was extremely clean. I have pretty good vision, and even better observation skills- and I am telling you- they keep this place very clean. As far as 1st impressions go, they nailed it!

It's great food for great prices, and they make everything from scratch. The guys that run the place are always nice, knowledgeable, and super helpful. It's cozy and friendly, and they know all the regulars.

This place is great. Unless it's a travelling taco truck, really good Latin food is hard to find in this part of the Valley. The food is super tasty, the portions are generous, and the employees are amazing. I ordered by phone for pick up and, even though our connection was bad and kept dropping off, the person who answered the phone remained very patient and courteous. I have a bit of a sensitivity to salt so it can get a little salty for my personal taste but everyone in my family thinks the seasonings are perfect and their sauces are sooooo goooood. Beware: their super spicy sauce is no joke! I arrived to pick up the food and when the employee saw that my toddler was with me, he briefly left his station at the counter to help carry our food out to the car. Let's support this wonderful small business! 👍🏼

I came into this place on a Saturday and ordered Menudo and finally I found a place that makes great Menudo. It was perfect! Hot not greasy at all. Not too salty Perfect ratio of meat with corn. Nice size portion 2 warm flour tortillas All the fixings This place know how to do it! I will be back!

Outstanding customer service and amazing food! The fellas really take pride in what they do and I love the new updated menus they put up! Easier to read and figure out what you want. I highly recommend the machaca it's delicious and reminds me of my moms cooking. The agua fresca de jamaica is my favorite drink. The portions are more than enough!

This is our favorite restaurant, they have delicious food, but the best part is their customer service. They are professional and very friendly.my husband and I love getting their fish tacos and Chile relleno. They also have great salsas! But we will continue to support them because of their friendly service. Good job guys!👏

A friend told me about this hidden gem - OMG this place is really good. The staff are incredibly friendly, they seem to remember a face, they'll pretty much make whatever you want. It's an order at the counter and they'll call you when your food is ready kinda place. They had indoor and outdoor seating. The portions are huge and the food is delicious. I've eaten taquitos, enchiladas, nachos and burritos there. And now I'm craving a visit to Villanueva.

Local mexican restaurant to the area. The food was great. Happy I found this gem. Like that its family owned

Friendly staff and great customer service. Described what I wanted in a breakfast burrito and it arrived fantastic and hefty.

Loved this place! The tacos were super tasty—especially the fish taco and shrimp taco. And of course the street taco. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. The staff were really nice. Quick service, great food—definitely coming back!

People are not wrong about the burritos. Very good. Looking forward to trying their other stuff

This amazing place has the nicest people working here and delicious food! I live in Michigan and make sure to eat here every trip to the Valley Every time we go there the folks working are so kind and friendly! You NEED to eat here!!!

Like every other review says, yes! The owners are sweet. But it’s really the wondrously tender, juicy meat and blissfully fresh salsas that blew me away. This is my new go to spot for Mexican food in the valley.

On this date: 03.09 soo good 03.16 really good 03.23 really really good (03.30 i went home for the weekend) 04.13 great 04.26 greatest 05.03 good, really good 05.10 great (I got two scoops) (05.17 i was in hawaii) 05.31 really good (06.07 thought I lost my job, didn't go) 06.15 pending, I'll let you know 10.26 OMG! TODAY! RIGHT NOW! SOO DAMN FREAKING GREAT! try it with tortilla chips in it! OMG! 12.06 great! Lots of meat today! (12.14 went back to texas) 12.21 it was good. Little meat but still really good. The absolute best menudo. I will be coming back as long as I'm in town! Did I say they have the absolute best menudo? Well, they do! The staff are soo nice and welcoming!!

Villanueva’s Mexican Grill is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the warmest, friendliest two guys. Incredibly welcoming and full of energy, they truly make the experience special. Their kindness and positive vibes make every visit feel like you’re catching up with old friends. The food is phenomenal with big portions. Nothing is overly greasy, and you leave feeling satisfied without being weighed down. Their breakfast burritos are an absolute must-try, but honestly, whether it’s lunch or dinner, everything on the menu hits the mark. It’s the perfect spot for a quick family meal or a relaxed dinner out. The decor is cozy and homely, adding to the charm of the place. Villanueva’s has become a go-to for our family, and every visit feels just as enjoyable as the last. Great food, amazing service, and an overall feel-good experience. Highly recommended!

This place is the best of the best! Family owned and operated. Armando runs the place with his family and together they make the best authentic Mexican food round. If you love Menudo like I do then you have to get there Saturday or Sunday but you better called first to make sure it isn't sold out. Look at this! Menudo and Shrimp Tacos!!!!!!

Amazing Mexican food with good value.

Love the family vibe here. They’re a considerate, kind & friendly bunch! They have modified their business for COVID safety & everyone is so cautious on the customer’s behalf; which is so nice. The food tastes homemade & their salsas have kick! I love ordering the enchiladas, rice & beans because that’s my “go-to” at any Mexican food place. However, I love every option on the menu from tacos to breakfast burritos & they’re always careful to be considerate of my food allergies. My last order (photo) was shrimp tacos at the recommendation of the cashier because I was undecided. They’re fortunate enough to have a small patio space that I make use of for a dining out experience with my dad on his lunch breaks. The ice cream freezer is full of amazing handmade fruit bars, so save room!

My husband and I come here all the time. I highly recommend this restaurant. Atmosphere is very clean, staff is polite and so helpful. Super fast with orders. Serve yummy food!

Super good and big burritos, good value. Love how they make your burrito, leave it open for you to add salsa and toppingsn and then they wrap it up for you. Good flavor and good service. I will be back for sure

Everything you'd expect from a family restaurant - great home cooked taste and personalized service. Dave treated us like royalty, asking us exactly how we wanted our food customized and delivering our plates to order. My first criteria is always good refried beans and they didn't disappoint, on my wife's sopes and side dish and in my shredded beef burrito. Tossup between them and one other place Ive been for best shredded beef. A+ on that.

This place never disappoints, always consistent service and food is great, brought a few friends and they were delighted.

Food was good, ordered take out for entire office. Restaurant was clean and fresh. Shrimp in my burrito was actually deveined, super plus, as most restaurants don't clean out their shrimp. Will try with the rest of the fam.

Everything here is homemade and delicious and the staff are super nice! Chile Verde Super Nachos are my go-to. My wife loves the menudo, and my kids like the burritos and tortas.

The food is excellent! The service is great and very friendly staff. The portions are big and very tasty overall. The chicken burrito is enough for two meals. I just cut it in half and get extra sides of salsa verde and it’s just as good the next day warmed up. I love this place, appreciate the authenticity, and highly recommend! I didn’t rate the atmosphere just because I’ve only gotten take out, but I’m sure the atmosphere is great just because the people that work there are very nice and welcoming. If you want delicious Mexican food, this is the spot!

My favorite place for tacos! They have the best fish tacos I've ever had, hands down. And lately I've been eating their shrimp tacos, also most excellent. We're always warmly greeted and they know their regular customers. Extremely highly recommended!

Got the family taco pack for take out and it was delicious. Came with meat, tortillas, beans, rice, guacamole, onions and cilantro and chips. We got steak and carnitas and everything was very flavorful. It was a great value as well.

Amazing Mexican food! There are so many Mexican food spots in this area but Villanueva stands out as my favorite. Their food is delicious and the service is great. They always welcome you in with a smile. Definitely worth a try

5 stars all around. The food here tastes incredible with authentic Mexican flavor. The staff is very kind and attentive. My go to spot, I’ve come here every week since discovering them. Highly recommend!

They will make your tasty burrito quick but it will most definitely fall apart before you finish it

It was an awesome experience. If you like spicy salsa... try their spicy salsa... it's spicy! The food was amazing.

At Villanueva Mexican Restaurant, embark on a salsa odyssey that elevates the ordinary to extraordinary! Their legendary salsa bar, a carnival of flavors, turns each bite into a fiesta. The shrimp fajitas, while promising a flavor explosion, waded through a sea of gravy, a twist in our culinary tale. Though this unexpected plot thickens our journey, the salsas alone make Villanueva a treasure worth exploring. It's a solid four-star adventure, where every dip transports you closer to Mexico. Dive into Villanueva for a taste escapade that’s almost perfect – just watch out for the gravy waves! Recommendations: Their salsa bar!

Staff was friendly had great recommendations in food was cooked to perfection. I ordered the Caldo de rece two thunbs up

This is a very good Mexican restaurant. The staff are all extremely friendly, and willing to help. I ordered two cheese enchiladas and was able to substitute the rice for guacamole. The enchiladas were prepared and flavored well. My order also came with a bag of fresh chips and I was able to choose a few salsas from the salsa bar. The prices are very reasonable, and some of the lowest I've seen in the area. I would come here again!

Great authentic Mexican food! Super tasty. Service was good and I like that they have the salsa bar out so that you can prepare you own tacos with cilantro, onions and salsa as you like.

Overall, great tasting food and good portions. I had the mix burrito with asada, chicken and shrimp meats and it was great.
