Reynalda Cucina & Amor — Restaurant in Thousand Oaks

I’m glad a stumbled into this wonderful gem in Westlake Village/Thousand Oaks. They have a lot of the standards but also include many hard-to-find dishes, at least hard-to-find in TO/WLV, such as mulitas, queso birria tacos, and huaraches.

Upon the recommendation of the young lady at the counter, I ordered the costillos en salsa verde (pork ribs in green chile sauce) and they were amazing. The ribs were very tender and the sauce had a nice little kick to it but not too spicy. The handmade corn tortillas were delicious, freshly made, and had a nice fresh masa flavor.

At $17.50, it wasn’t cheap but well worth it. The portions were very generous, enough for two people or to take home for a second meal.

The service was friendly and my only qualm (a very small qualm) is that when my order was ready, they called me to the counter instead of bringing it to my table, even though I was the only customer in the restaurant. Lol.

The restaurant style is fast casual: you order and at the counter. The seating is somewhat limited and the dining room is nicely decorated.

I will definitely be working Ronalda’s into my regular lunch and dinner rotation. I’m really rooting for the...

The food and salsa is so GOOD! I'm Mexican American and this is as Authentic as it gets. It is like eating in a Mexican person's home, they just opened the door and let you in. Our visit started out bad because the young thin lady with the long braid who took our order was super rude, irritated, and impatient. No one else was behind us we just asked a couple of questions but it was like she was mad we were there making her work. If the food wasn't good I'd never go back but it was. The quesabirria tacos were SO GOOD. The asada was good in the tacos. The chips were freshly made. The AVOCADO SALSA....WOW... BEST SALSA EVER! The rice and beans were alright. The tomatillo salsa was good too. I just wish they had limes, they have cucumber slices. They have Mexican cokes which is great. It is so pretty inside and the gentleman who cooked was warm and friendly. Just get rid of that girl or have her do another job besides order taking because she's going to drive customers away, people don't like to be...

Was looking for a place to dinner in the TO area we haven’t been to, and stumbled upon Reynolds Cucina. While there are no shortage of Mexican food spots in the area, this place stood out.

The quesabirria tacos were delicious. You don’t see these on many menus, and they were a must have. They also provide you with a small container of consumé to dip your tacos. We also had a carne asada burrito which we split. Very good as well. The salsa bar was well stocked, and had a green salsa that we really enjoyed. The chips were perfect, and tasted like they were made right before they brought them out.
