We wanted to grab a bite before a performance at the Fred Kavli Theatre, and came across this gem! The food was so delicious, and the staff, especially the owner, were so kind and friendly! I can say it was one of the best Mexican meals I’ve had in a long time and I live in LA so that’s saying something. Service was quick too. Thanks to everyone there. Yum, yum!

You can tell right away that the restaurant uses quality ingredients — everything tastes fresh and well-prepared. The flavors are authentic and remind you of real, home-style Latin cooking. A huge plus is the Butcher shop with marinated meats. On top of that, the market itself has a great variety of Latin groceries you don’t always find elsewhere. Definitely worth stopping by, whether you’re grabbing food or shopping for ingredients.

First time here! Leaving work I was craving Carne asada fries and this was this closest restaurant that came up the area that I was in. It’s a small place and the limited decor tells you it caters to loyal food goers – very casual. My partner and I went in and decided to try 3 different plates and the horchata. We opted to dine in since most people were taking their food to go.
Let’s get down to the food reviews:
Tacos: Juicy, tender meats, flavorful. Was offered three different salsas – red, green, and avocado. We asked to get all three. My partner (who loves all things spicy) said they were medium spicy and meshed well with the flavors of the meats.
Birria quesadilla combo: Birria was flavorful, consistent through all pieces. Not soaking (which I wouldn’t mind) and also not super oily. Could be improved by the additional of a small cup of consumé.
Carne asada fries: Fresh fries, fresh toppings, meat had great texture and flavor you’d expect. Would recommend!
Horchata: Approximately 20oz for just under $4. Good enough flavor. No rice chunks, nor powdery. Tasted fresh. No refills included.
You will get full with a combo plate or fries order – ask for a box and take the rest home if you dine in!
Conclusion: Can’t get to the valley for tacos or asada fries…? This is your best bet!

Some of the best local Mexican food I’ve ever had. Very friendly place. Will definitely go back. They had a large menu, with great prices.

My family had grilled lobster, fish tacos, fish and chips, hamburger, clam chowder bowl,
All were flavorless, except for the fries and guacamole. The tortilla chips were hard and the salsa and pico de gallo tasted old almost bad.
And the prices are up there.
I will not eat there again.

Hard to find authentic and good take out Mexican food in Thousand Oaks. I roll by Latino market and grab a burrito whenever I’m craving some Al Pastor.

Always a favorite lunch spot, been coming here for years! The menu has something for everyone, the salsas are delicious and free flowing, the chips are oily and crunch and perfect! I love the tacos most of all and could eat them until I fall over. Hidden authentic gem in a town full of fake Italian and fast food!

Food is good and the michiladas were good. The prices aren’t too bad compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area.

Good burrito. Friendly staff. And the market next to the restaurant has a good selection of meats and other stuff.

Had a delicious lunch here at Latino Market & Mexican Restaurant. Their Menu is mind boggling as they have sooo much on it. Although I’ve had much better Mexican food elsewhere, it was Not Bad and it hit the spot. Appears to be quite a popular spot for locals and travelers alike.
