Taqueria Potrillos — Restaurant in Camarillo

Most tacos spots get high marks for price, how big their servings are, how much toppings they add and service, never about flavor, and again I don't mean the salsa or toppings. I'm talking about the flavor of all of their choice of meats, by that I mean if ordered plain it would taste delicious. Now of course, you can compliment it with all usuals. I suspect these guys are using recipes handed down with consistency and quality in their flavor at any time of day as I have stop by in the morning, midday and night at different days, same everything. Carne asada is not just that, ingredients are added for unique flavor, carnitas, ugh my favorite and very flavorful, al pastor, cabesa, same. Tripas nicely cooked, crispy but not crunchy, perfect. This establishment takes this seriously with quality, flavor and service. It is a small place with about five tables for 4 and a couple outside. Nothing fancy here so don't panic and give this place a try you will not regret it, nice parking lot, just very good food. Just remember Mexican food is regional and distinct in flavor so these folks seem to be from Jalisco but I never asked. Easy freeway access and exit either way. Tell them #thegoodjames sent you. They won't care or know who I am, so it means nothing, but it...

2024 Review: Cabeza is still good and consistent. Asada was decent. But the chile verde & super burritos were REALLY salty!! Also, what happened to the taco tuesday deals on certain meats, I paid full price of $2.75 a taco on Tuesday.

2023 Review: I have been eating at Potrillos for the past 10 years, and with this longtime relationship with Potrillos tacos, I have experienced the up's & downs of food quality. Although it's a bit on the "just okay" right now, my favorite is still the cabeza!! The buttery meat, signature salsa (not spicy at all), and simplicity of cilantro and onion are all these tacos require for deliciousness. My family gets asada, and they seem to have changed the recipe. I appreciate that the Chile Verde is less salty in this Era.

Throughout the years, prices have gone up, as everything else has. Let me just say that I haven't been a customer for 10 years for no reason. Bottom line-It is consistently good.

PS- they have ice cold Mexican Cokes and Squirts! Horchata is decent.

Old Review: Cabeza taco's all the way! Taco's are not only for Tuesdays, but they do offer a scwheet deal of 40 cents off a taco- so that's a plus. The gal in the morning is awesome. She knows my...

I was Bullied/ Punked:The young lady with the braces helped me with my order. I arrived at 9am and the Menudo was gone so I then ordered a plate of birria and a taco for my daughter. When the food arrived she brought us one taco and a birria burrito, ( i didnt even know birria burritos where a thing) i told her I ordered a plate and she just said "no you didn't". I dont like to argue so I said, Ok... can I change it to what I ordered and she said "no, who's going to eat that burrito" which i though was a smart-mouthed way to respond to a customer. I just smiled and said thank you and didn't touch the burrito. Then my daughter was chewing on the same piece of meat from her taco for about a minute. I asked her if the taco was good and she said, " no, it's too chewy, Dada". She calls me Dada and sees me as a literal super hero, as well she should but, today she lost respect for her Dada for the way he was treated in front of her. Chewy meat and not what I ordered. I guess the worse part is that they could have cared less. I left everything on the table and just left...
