Trattoria Valpiana

Came here for lunch during the week and ate outside as the weather was nice. Great service. Delicious margaritas, amazing salsa, huge portions. Not being rushed and checked on regularly. Made for a nice leisure lunch. Chili relleno and enchiladas are very good. Coming back for drinks and food when I need another reset during the work day.

My family has enjoyed El Patio for years. We usually get chicken burritos, the shrimp soup or tacos, but I just recently had the shrimp fajitas and they were tremendous. We've tried most of the menu by now and I can honestly say every item we've tasted has been delicious. Try it out, you won't be disappointed.

I have been coming here for years and I can say I have never had a bad meal. The service is excellent and the food is very high quality and reasonably priced. The owner and staff make you feel like family and the neighborhood feel makes it a a comfortable place any day of the week. They have happy hour until 7 Mon-Friday and their tacos are the best in town. Thank you Eddy for all you do for your customers and the community.

Definitely the best sit-down Mexican restaurant with full bar in Simi Valley. Amazing Margaritas! Big plates of "California Style Mexican food". The service is quick and fast, food comes out so quickly, and I've never had a bad meal here. I always bring my family here when they are visiting from out of town. Make sure to go to El Patio "Cantina" on Tapo st NOT ON El Patio Restaurant on Township. The service is like night and day. I highly recommend over Don Cuco and Yolanda's, pricing and food is much better!!

I love Mexican restaurants that provide free chips and salsa and El Patio does. We added on the chorizo bean dip, which could use more chorizo, but is still good. The grilled fish tacos are really good! Big! A great value. ( Check out photos on Yelp) I will definitely order this again. Other ordered basic combinations and they were good/average, what you'd expect. Drinks are good. Service was a little slow, but OK considering it was midweek, I get being minimally staffed. El Patio may not be the best Mexican restaurant in Simi, but it's good and worthy of a visit. I'll definitely go back.

Great service, great Cadillac Peach Margaritas 😁, great food! The corn tortillas here are fantastic! Super light and crispy, the best tortilla chips and taco shells I have had. I have only been here for lunch and have the same great guy who serves us every time. He's attentive, nice and likes my sense of humor! The food comes out FAST at lunch, so it's great if you're in a hurry, but also relaxing if you have time to spend too. Great place!

Our local favorite in Simi Valley after many other places for over a decade. The food and drinks are always good and the service always fast and friendly. It's small enough that you can catch your server but not small enough to feel like a hole in a wall. The outside patio is nice for a group if the weather is good. I recommend the blue margarita. My family recommends anything you want to try.

Yes, Everything is Fine has a cool vibe and overall the experience is decent. The food is good, and the atmosphere is relaxed, which I appreciate. However, there’s one staff member, a chubby waiter who’s usually there, that consistently seems annoyed or uninterested. It definitely affects the energy of the place. Friendly service goes a long way, and unfortunately, his attitude doesn’t reflect well on the business. With a little more warmth and professionalism from this staff member, this spot could be a real gem.

We went inside to tell them we were talking a table outside, but it still took quite a while to get service. Our food was as-ordered, though I personally felt that the cheese enchiladas had way, way too much cheese. (And I like cheese!) I'm sure others would love this, but it was much more than enchiladas anywhere Else, so I thought I'd mention it. My friend's chimichanga was great for her. Waiter want particularly friendly, but wasn't exactly rude, either. Just seemed unhappy.

Been coming here for years, service is not good when the bartender is also waiting tables and preparing your food. Need more help, I dont appreciate the bartender making my food.

Food is pretty good. Your service is either very good or very bad here depending on who you get as your server. The bad one is some heavy set bald dude with a mustache who apparently doesn’t know what customer service is. Everyone else seems to be very good at it. The atmosphere can be a bit dark (literally). Sometimes the bar feels like a dungeon b/c all the light are off and the A/C is probably set to low. This place has potential, just not the right combination.

We were really looking forward to trying this place. It's nicely appointed without being over-the-top themed like some restaurants. It's clean. The staff is polite. My seafood enchilada was very good. The side salad was covered completely with dressing & when I took a couple of bites I realized the lettuce was wilted & looked a bit old so I declined to eat it. My friend's beef enchilada didn't sit well in his stomach so he only ate the rice & beans. Doubt we'll be back.

The atmosphere was okay. But I had an 'uh-oh' moment within a minute of being seated when one of the waitresses was extremely sullen. We ordered a few Margaritas and a big plate of Nachos. Things started to go downhill from there. In between the meal, me and my cousin wanted to smoke a cigarette and after informing our waiter we went outside for a few minutes. When we got back someone from the wait staff thought we were done and put all the used napkins and straw paper on the plate of Nachos. We informed Caesar (the man who was attending to us) that the Nachos was ruined because of no fault of ours. Caesar, instead of apologising, tells us that the Nachos were nearly complete and it can't be justified to give us a replacement!! Then he tried to insinuate that we were the ones who had put the used Napkins in our plate of Nachos to get free food! We were stunned by what he said, paid our bill (without any tip) and left the restaurant to never ever step foot in it ever again. Avoid this establishment unless you're dying of hunger. It lacks scruples.

If I could leave no stars I would. I ordered a carne asada burrito, me thinking I was going to get a burrito with meat beans rice cilantro onion. And boy was i wrong, what I got was a wet burrito full of pure beans and maybe 1/4 cups of asada if that ! It was so disappointing, I will never go here again. I wasn't asked how I would like it or what id want in it. TERRIBLE MIND YOU THE BURRITO WAS 19$

Walked in, got seated. I asked for their Taco Tuesday menu and 2 servers said they didn’t have one and in a not so friendly way quickly from afar mentioned they had street tacos options of asada and maybe carnitas. The vibe was not welcoming and the chips and salsa were disappointing, ended up leaving after having 2 chips and salsa.
