There is no better tacos in the 805 than this place. This place has the best of the best don't get anywhere else. Place is absolutely fire and I come here weekly. Carnitas and Pastor are on point.

Everything I've tried here is so good! The burritos and tacos are always delicious, and the staff have always been nice and helpful.

My friend often speaks highly of this place so I was excited to finally be able to give it a try with her as we were craving some authentic Mexican food. Located in a very small strip mall I've passed by this spot a few times and never noticed it. Keep your eyes peeled for it because I do wish I would have seen and tried this spot sooner. While it's a small shopping center we were able to find parking easily and came inside about 30 minutes before closing. This spot is a traditional Hispanic market with a hot bar and butcher counter in the back. Here they have a pretty good sized hot bar where you can order tacos, burritos, meat plates, and Agua frescas. I was impressed with the size of the market as well as it was pretty big, clean, and had an impressive selection! It's much bigger inside then it appears to be on the outside. I definitely need to come back here to do some proper grocery shopping. At the hot bar I ordered two pastor tacos and one Asada. Unfortunately the gentlemen misunderstood me and switched the order but I was too shy to speak up, it was fine but I need to work on my ordering skills lol. Asked for a side of rice and beans hoping to make the tacos like w combo plate. Not sure if I wasn't clear or they don't do combination plates but instead he gave me a small container of rice and beans which were individually priced. A little too much food for me based what I had intended to get but he was friendly enough so I just took it as he packaged it. Three tacos and the two sides ran me about $15 so not bad. Also in the back I was super excited to see large fried pork chicharrones, so I snagged one and their homemade guacamole from the market. Once you finish ordering and getting your food at the hot bar you take it up to the register to pay. It was all easy enough and everyone who works here is super friendly. This spot definitely deserves your business and it's a great local find. The only reason for the docked star is that some of the food was hit and miss. Everything tasted good in general but some items I wouldn't get again. My favorites here were the chicharrones! Super fatty and fried deliciousness. Their homemade guacamole slaps, it was mild but paired with the pork it was the best bite of the night. Also I'm a sucker for refried beans and they have good beans here. Would definitely be back for this again. The items I wasn't as big on were the tacos generally speaking. I actually think the issue was that I came 30 minutes before closing and the taco meat just didn't taste that fresh. I was hoping for juicy meat and bold flavors but the meat was a little bland and forgettable. Again, I really think the timing of when I came made a difference as my friend loves their pastor. I need to come back for lunch and try it in a burrito to make my determination. Also the rice was a pass from me, not memorable. I make better Mexican rice but it's okay, you can't win them all. This Mercado is a gem and I appreciate the local vibes. Really stellar spot for your specific grocery needs and I'll be dreaming of that fried pork until I can get back here to get some more. Great spot and thanks for the the recommendation Erica P.

Fantastic experience! Bring your kids, grab some groceries and order from the food counter to the left as you walk in. Enjoy a nice meal at the tables outside. If you feel lost don't sweat it! Just ask for help! Everyone wants to help you as much as you need help, you just need to ask. This may be a new cultural experience for some, relax. Everyone who works here has your same human DNA.

Excellent. Went for the first time yesterday. Really like the beam and cheese burrito. The beef and chicken tacos were also good. Staff was quick and extremely kind. Lots of choices.

Solid Carnicería style tacos for the Newbury Park area -- as close as you'll get to authentic without going into LA. Cheap and tasty -- akin to LA street tacos. The grocery comes with the territory and is a nice bonus. Recommend.

I came here for groceries and left with burritos. Why does that always happen? I actually ended up having a burrito taste Test between this place and 2 other locations in the area. And this place won 1st prize. The adobada was really good. Their Tortillawas on point. I do wish that they would put more sauce on the burrito but I probably could have asked for that. The beans were Great the rice was ok. It wasn't really my favorite kind of rice for burrito. I do wish they had more options of things you could put in the burrito like more onions or cilantro et cetera. But for a little place inside a grocery sstore this place is poppin.

If I want takeout Mexican food in the Newbury Park, Thousand Oaks area this is absolutely the best! The smell hits you when you get out of the car and it only gets better as you approach the counter. The chicken burrito was probably the best I've ever had. The chicken was fresh cut to order, grilled to perfection, seasoned perfectly and absolutely delicious! I also had the Carne Asada tacos with the salsa Verde, and was blown away! Seating is limited, but there are a few tables in front, but don't let that keep you from visiting this market and kitchen! And to top it all off, they have all of the spices you cannot find in the grocery stores, including Adobo of every variety. Can't wait to go back and try the birria and carnitas...they looked amazing!What a gem!!
