Elvira's Mexican Grill

Have enjoyed the place everytime I went. Good food, tried something new each time I went. Everyone is friendly and courteous. The only thing is they put too much ice in the margaritas. But I go back for more and try to remember to ask for less. The pomegranate is my favorite. A must try. A little hole in the wall and family owned.

Excellent service. The staff was so nice and personable. Let's talk about the food!!! My fajitas were excellent. The steak and shrimp were seasoned not over cooked! A very healthy portion of everything. The beans were good, guac was fresh. I was told there's a location out near where I live. I have seen it before and I'm excited to go try it!

After all the hoopla in my Simi Valley Foodie’s group I had to try this place. I heard it is super good, super busy, and has excellent service. We went on a Saturday evening at around 8:00 PM and it was about 75% full so we got a booth table that was so ridiculously tight we barely fit in. I thought the decor and vibe were top-rated.

The service was excellent. I could not have asked for better service. It was the food that I think is both mediocre for my taste and relatively expensive. All three of us rated our dishes at about a 7 out of 10. Sighting that the salsas and chile sauces were very mild and lacked heat. Very odd to have no heat at all on three dishes and a salsa bowl. My Chile Verde dish, which is my staple dish, was slightly above average but lacked deep chile flavor and heat. One of my guests ordered the Spinach Enchiladas and thought they had potential but did not really have a great and distinct chile flavor. The third dish was generous portion of a child’s bean and rice burrito combo dish, that came rice-less inside the burrito, but scored well on flavor.

We all felt the beans were ok, but are only half mashed. We would have preferred refried to go with our dishes. The Spanish Rice was, in all our opinions, excellent as were the flour tortillas.

The salsa was okay but again lacked chile flavor and heat. I actually took some home, added some of my New Mexico dried chili peppers, and it came to life. At least in our opinion.

Lastly, the presentation of the dishes were gorgeous. Just like the decor. I am certain that over time the types of issues I have noted can be easily fixed. I do look forward to trying it again, soon.

Amazing!!!!!! I moved to Simi about a year and a half ago and had yet to find a Mexican restaurant that I wanted to go back to, but I will definitely be coming back here and bringing my parents for sure. The food was so delicious and fresh! I can’t stand feeling gross and bloated after a fun night eating out but I felt great after eating here! I highly recommend:) our waiter was also very kind and attentive. I don’t remember his name but he was the main guy running around on Saturday night! Thanks for a great night! Ps the fried ice cream was super yummy

The best Mexican food, friendly staff, great atmosphere ♥️👌🏼
