Neca's Kitchen

Came on 4/6, late at night. Food was fiiiiire!!! Carne asada and al pastor tacos were soooo good. Also, the rice and beans were delicious. Can't wait to go back!

Oh my Godness! Very simple, all food made here and served at your table is just to great taste and enjoy, and eat and finish it all!!! The best food test ever!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Our favorite taco spot in Santa Clarita!! Can’t go wrong with anything you order and the service is even better!

Love it - always stop in for dinner when in the neighborhood. Delicious food, very nice service. Always busy because of all of the above.

My first time at the restaurant but not the last I really liked

Food is really good, and they serve Cool Caguamas .

Place is fantastic.. Went their last night to just get a couple soups to go.... Sooooo good!!!

Very very good Mexican food..! Tacos, burritos and seafood all delicious! Hidden gem! 🤫

Great service .the owner is very friendly and the food is always fresh and delicious 😋. I highly recommend you won’t regret it

Great service, nice staff and the best menudo I've had.. other than my Mommas..LOL

Best Mexican food I’ve ever had. Very clean and spacious restaurant - you can come with a big group and have an amazing time. I still think about this place 2 months later. Also great service

The shrimp Cucarachas are the best! The sauce is perfectly spiced, delicious amount of garlic, I just love dipping the homemade tortillas in the sauce. The fried fish is also top notch! I live in LA and the quality and flavor of this food would cost a lot more here. Highly recommend it!

Great Mexican food and terrific service. And you don't have to pay the ridiculous Main St prices. (just please turn the music down two notches).

This is our go to spot for Mexican food. The food is always delicious and the service is amazing. The staff always welcomes us with a smile.

Roadtripping with the family and so grateful we stopped in here. Such kind people grate service, and YUMMAY FOOD. We did tacos, soup, quesadilla, and tamales. All delicious with their salsa.

Once again, I would like to reiterate that this restaurant serves high-quality food that is truly delicious. I recommend it without hesitation.

I love the flavor of the food here. The owner is very considerate and wants to make your experience the best so that you keep on coming back! Allow time for eating if you plan to dine in, or call ahead if you plan to take your order to go, as they make everything fresh!

Excellent customer service!!! They are very attentive to their customers. The taste?? Amazing!!! They also have such a big amount of service per dish!

Previously a known as Villa Maria’s this place place has been a Newhall hidden gem for many years. Now under new ownership Neca’s now has been remodeled into a full restaurant while still functioning as a local store as well. Clearly a local favorite the place typically fills up on the weekends as friends and families come in to enjoy delicious mariscos and micheladas. Highly recommend the aguachiles , michelada , chicharon de pescado , and caldo de res!

My favorite Mexican restaurant when driving through the 5 it’s a must stop! Never disappointed

Extremely good, authentic Mexican food! Spicy red salsa just like we like it. Very good service.

Went looking for some authentic Mexican food and oh boy did we find it. This place has incredible food with great prices. The service was also fantastic. Would definitely recommend to any one looking for great food and service.

Great food! 1st time here. We will definitely come back. The staff is super friendly. Great portions and prices. Highly recommended.

Great local spot! Walking distance from Saturday farmers market. This is an older place but the staff were super friendly and served such delicious food!!! We had menudo, chorizo and homemade tortillas! We are definitely looking forward to returning!

The carne asada was delicious! The Jamaica as well, the owner Nelson is a very friendly person.

I was visiting Santa Clarita for 3 days. Ended coming here for two dinners and one breakfast. Food is fresh, delicious, and authentic. The service is outstanding. Great family owned restaurant. Prices are very fair for what you get. If I’m ever back in Santa Clarita this is the only place I’ll be going to eat.

First thing I noticed was the cleanliness. Second the service was great ladies were very kind. The ceviche is really good and the quality of fish was great ! Definitely coming back here !

Excellent food and service. Would definitely recommend and come back. Don’t need to think twice. Many options of food and all really delicious! Really good price!

I was visiting my hometown of Santa Clarita with my British husband who has never really tried Mexican cuisine and we decided to stop into Neca's Kitchen—what a wonderful surprise it turned out to be! Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but I discovered that the kind and helpful owner is the father of one of my old high school friends. We graduated together and even joined the military around the same time, so it was such an unexpected and heartwarming connection to stumble upon. As for the food—my husband had his very first tamale and enchilada, and he absolutely loved them! I tried menudo for the first time myself, and it was rich, flavorful, and prepared with so much care. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and made with love. When you step through the door into the beachy ambience you can tell that Neca’s Kitchen is more than just a restaurant—it’s a place that brings people together with warm hospitality and delicious food. We left with full stomachs and full hearts. Highly recommend to anyone in the area, whether you’re a local or just passing through.

Looking for real authentic and traditional Mexican cuisine in the SCV , you got to stop by NECA for some amazing food . We had the Mojarra Frita , a Cóctel de Campechana and tacos de cabeza and tacos de carne asada , everything was fresh with tortillas hechas a mano / handmade tortillas and great salsa to go with it all .

This is a great place for authentic Mexican food. Nice Veggie options. My favourite is Hurarche

My mom love their menudo, I have mojara frita is really good but the tamales is dry, service is so good and polite people here, parking is kind of tricky you need to pass the light and turn right.

Average food at best. Burritos are fairly small, paid for avocado, sour cream, and cheese and only got a microscopic amount. Al pastor was not very good.

Decent prices on food and drink, but one of the waitresses is horrible at her job. Michelladas were salty and the patrons are just weird. No thanks for me.

Came here Saturday night (about 6pm) 3/11/23 after looking at the google reviews and expecting good food. Some of these reviewers don't know good Mexican food. I ordered camarones al mojo de ajo. The food was below basic, they used canned garlic for the shrimp and it didn't taste like garlic shrimp, rice was extra dry, and the salad was about three leaves of lettuce. If you're in the mood to just fill your stomach with food and don't care about taste, this is the place for you. Additionally, restaurant was filled with older men just drinking flirting with the waitress, don't bring your family here. I will admit the highlight was the hand made tortillas, those were actually good.

This place is over rated. I was visiting the area, and decided to have lunch. I ordered the soup and got the chicken soup. It was basically water with a piece of chicken in it. Would have been 3$ meal! And then got mad and told me they did not wanna give me a refund for the pitiful plate. Very disappointed, would not suggest this place.

I ordered tacos carne asada and campechana all of it was horrible I was very dissatisfied. Customer service was great. I would not go back again.

I was super hesitant to try this spot but after reading the reviews, we decided to give them a try. First of all, it is far from Mexican food. This is a Salvadorian owned establishment, so for sure it's a different way of cooking. The food was super flavorless, really bland. I would not recommend this place at all. Really disappointed
