Mijo's Taqueria

Highly recommended by many Hispanic locals, place is not fancy, but they do serve very tasty, authentic Mexican cuisine. They use fresh jalapeño’s in their tacos and burritos. Yumm !!!

Mijo’s Tacos are such a treat! A huge shoutout to the team for serving up incredible flavors in such a simple, focused menu—it makes it so easy to try some real gems. We tried both the fish tacos and the carne tacos, and let me tell you, the Baja Taco is the winner! Absolutely delicious and highly recommended!

Excellent service. I had the Mijo burrito. Perhaps the best burrito I have ever had. Seriously. A friend recommended coming here. The young lady working suggested the Mijo burrito and that thang did not disappoint.

It is very simple Mexican dinery but with delicious food....especially tacos with grilled fish...I truly recommend it People mostly order take away food...bc no comfy place to eat....but ofc it is doable...

My partner and I knew we didn't want the typical “hotel wedding food,” at our reception, especially for an outdoor California venue, so we checked out Mijo’s. We tried a bunch of tacos at their storefront and instantly knew they were the move—who doesn’t love tacos? We went with al pastor, steak, chicken, and a veggie option, plus rice and their salsas (so good!). On the day, everything was hot, fresh, and flying off the plates. It was a little different than the usual wedding spread and people freaking loved it—we kept hearing, “Best wedding food I’ve had.” The team was awesome to work with—friendly, organized, and totally on top of it. Setup was smooth, service was quick, and there was more than enough food for everyone (including our vegan/vegetarian guests, who raved about their options). Zero stress, big flavor, perfect fit for the vibe. I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could.

This eatery feels open with bright pops of color defining its interior. The food came quickly. The tinga tacos were scrumptious! The combination of meat and sauces worked beautifully! The shrimp burrito was perfectly made, chewy and flavorful. The pineapple soda was fizzy and full of flavor.

Best nachos in town! Really good chips and guacamole. Very much family style. They accidentally messed up my order and the OR came out and cost it, which was really nice of him. I would definitely come back & order here again.

I'm obsessed with the chips and fresh guacamole here. Also, the nachos. I love getting the nachos and chilling on the beach. Best experience. The hot sauces are all super bomb as well. If youre looking for a to go beach snack, Mijos is the spot for sure.

Mija burrito, carnitas, no rice. Just what I needed today- burrito at the beach. Good portion, wrapped tight, spicy, and with cabbage crunch! With a can of soda, it came to approx $16. Fast, friendly service.

I do not recommend this taqueria. I ordered the burrito here today for lunch and wanted to enjoy it. Unfortunately, 90 % of burrito was rice. Min vegi (only 1%). No clucomolly or salsa inside. A little bit fresh cabbage, beans, and tomatos. Plus, some souse on side The taqueria was empty. Here was 3 tables inside, ant 2 other customers. However, the music inside was laud. I was not able to hear my child.

I found the asada to be a bit dry. I really liked the carnitas. Tortillas held up nicely and didn't fall apart. Salsas were very tasty. Habanero is very spicy, just the way I like it.

Wonderful food here. The pastor burrito was crazy good, and the baja fish tacos were unreal. I've been struggling to find baja fish tacos around here, so having this experience gave me new hope! Will for sure be back.

When you walk in, you're not greeted by anybody and you place your order on a kiosk. I ordered three tacos, one Baja fish and two Asada tacos with chips and salsa and a bottle Coke the total came out to be $20.93 and took about 15 mins even with no one in there before me. The tacos were amazing, great flavor on both of them. The service could use some help, I had to go back twice to ask them for the salsa they forgot then again for the chips they forgot. Their chips and salsa is something I would stay away from. The chips are stale and the salsa tastes more like a tomato sauce that came out a can, with some random black beans definitely not worth paying extra for either of those

One of the best burritos I've had in a long time. I got the burrito con todo with al pastor. My daughter got the same but vegetarian. For me, burritos in most Mexican restaurants are pretty similar (similar ingredients). This was just a bit different which was enough for it to stand above the average one. I especially liked the addition of cabbage. Good prices too - considering that they are right at the beach in Capitola. I will be back.

Have eaten here hundreds of times since they opened years ago. The owner Tony is great and so are his tacos. The sauces offer different intensities and flavors that pair great with all their tacos. Definitely check Mijo's out if you are looking for a tasty taco!

This place is good when it's good and other day bad when it's bad. . Also make sure to check your order you may get something just random. Which is a pain being as it's in the village so if you run. All the way home and see that your order isn't correct you have to repay for parking etc.

Great fish tacos here! Really fresh fish and great seasoning on the batter. Tons of salsas to choose from. I loved the jalapeño salsa. Definitely recommend!

my go-to place for burritos when in the area! the Mijos burrito is my favorite the crunchy purple cabbage adds a great crunch. I love the salsa here.

Hands-down, the best nachos in town! Very clean and authentic and family style. It's all women in the kitchen. You can tell everything is made with care. I come here all the time last time they accidentally messed up on my order because they were really busy and I had to wait a little bit longer than usual. The owner ended up just comping my food without me even asking you can just tell they really care all the ingredients seem fresh. I love their chips and guac as well. if you're in Capitola Definitely give them your business if you're craving good Mexican food right by the beach!

We placed an order yesterday and sat down at a table. The food was ready in about 15 minutes. The server gave it to us in a bag and told us we can't eat in but have to take it out. No reason was given. We were dressed well. I have no idea why they kicked us out. We had to eat on the street. Later on we saw a family who waited at a table next to ours eating outside as well. No explanation was given why we weren't welcome. It was very disappointing and unnerving. Not what you expect. The food was ok though I was sick 30 minutes after eating it. What a waste of money! We prepaid for our food. I left a sizable tip. I now wish we never went there.

This is a place I typically visit when in town, probably 90% of the time. The prices are reasonable (rare in this day and age) and the food is pretty good. My favorites are the burrito con todo and the fish tacos. I've also tried the 2 for $5 tacos and shrimp burrito. The shrimp burrito is not very flavorful but if you add some salsa, it's alright. I love the chips too. They're always fairly quick to get orders out. There's some seating inside, but why not eat on the beach!

Sooooo yummy. My husband and I spent 25bucks for lunch here. We had 2 fish tacos and 4 meat tacos. The fish tacos were the best. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Will come back.

Al pastor tacos were very tasty. A bit small so I wish I had ordered more. But loved them and the salsa's available.

This was our second time stopping at Mijos while in Capitola. Portions were great and the fish tacos were super warm and fresh. We will definitely come back again!

The food here is fantastic! We had the tacos and burrito, super flavorful. The green salsa is excellent, try it. Takeout only, there's literally 1 table to sit while you wait for your order. Parking is also super tricky.

We've worked with Mijos Catering over a dozen times, and they've been outstanding every single time. Anthony is a true professional--super easy to work with, responsive, and reliable. His team is hardworking, efficient, and always brings great energy to every event. And the food? Absolutely amazing. Our clients always rave about it. We can't recommend Mijos Catering enough for anyone looking for top-tier service and incredible food!

WOW! What a GEM!! So we were visiting Capitola for our first time. We were looking for a place to have dinner close to our B&B . Went to YELP and found this place. It fit the bill by meeting the two most important requirements - 1) Must be within walking distance, and 2) Must be at least 4 Stars. So we walked for at least six minutes and found it! It's a very small place. You walk in and order and pay - then sit and they bring your food out to you. We had the chips and guacamole for a starter, then some tacos and I had a side order of refried beans with cheese. They have a big menu with a TON of choices. When we ordered, I saw the cook put the meat on the grill...grilled fresh to order! The chips are excellent. I like that are the thicker ones and they are perfectly cooked and salted. The guac was excellent as was the accompanying salsa. Not too hot and had great flavor. I had the Street Tacos - with Carnitas and with al pastor. They were very good! The meat was tender, and flavorful and there was plenty of it on the tacos. They are served with Cilantro and onions. I'm definitely a fan. They have a few different sauces available - Pico, Mild, Roja, Morita, Mijos Green, Spicy, Habanero. Check out the bottle tops...they make it EASY to get plenty of sauce on your taco. I chose the Spicy, which was very tasty and spicy. I like HOT! I also had a side of refried beans, which I love! they were thick, hot and had great flavor! The service was excellent. We were the only ones sitting in the restaurant - but they had quite a few people come it during the course of our stay to pick up carry-out. The staff came to our table a couple times to check on us - which isn't common in my vast dining experience. We liked the chips and salsa so much we bought another order to take back to the B&B for a late night snack. Definitely what would be called a hole in the wall. You might miss it if you were driving around looking for a place to go - but make sure you go to Mijo's if you're in Capitola. I promise you'll LOVE it!

Sooo yummy! These tacos filled us up. They offered three different types of sauce and they were all good. Seating is limited but you can sit anywhere on the beach! Staff is super nice and helpful. Will definitely be back!

they particpated in a program called togootogo. i purchase $4.99 at the end of the night with the expectation that i would receive at least $15 i received to bean and cheese burritos totally $10.70. bait and switch

Looked for a place that wasn't too pricey in a touristy area and Yelp suggested this so decided to try it out. In a good location where it's near Capitola beach. Ordered the Mijo's burrito with carne asada. They offered three different sauces and I asked for one of each. I think it's cool they give you a whole bottle of it. Wish the burrito had less rice and more carne asada. The meat was slightly charred which gave a unique taste, I also liked the at they were thinly sliced so the bites were easy. There is a bench as outdoor seating and a few tables outside. Nice small restaurant and cashiers are friendly.

We order ahead and pick up lunch from Mijos about once a month. The burrito selection is really good (veggie burritos, all kinds of meat, bean and cheese). Today I tried the fish tacos for the first time. Recommend! I had one grilled and one Baja. Both were amazing and even though I'm local, I felt like I was on vacation eating these tacos. Sometimes there is a line out the door, but it usually goes pretty quickly. Pick up some tacos and burritos here and take them to the beach just a few steps away.

I recently ordered take-out here and was delighted by the outcome. I ordered a bunch of sides and the flavor of everything was great. Carnitas, refried beans, rice, and guacamole. Would recommend if you're in need of quality Mexican food that will be ready quick!

The food was yummy. I asked for extra pickled onions and did not get them but it was still good

We had Mijo's cater our party and they went above and beyond to accommodate us. Anthony, the owner, delivered to our house, and was friendly and kind. Everyone loved the food. We are so impressed and happy with Mijo's. Thank you!!!

Great food and price. We've came back here many times and each time it's great. Easy walk from the beach

Coming back from Monterey, we decided to make a quick stop in Capitola for some last minute beach fun, as well as some food to tide us over for the ride home. We walked around and saw Mijo's, so decided to grab some food here to satisfy our craving. Mijo's is take out only, and does not offer any dine-in options. Order at the window, and wait outside for them to call your order. Although there was not much of a line outside, we still had to wait about 20mins before our food was finally ready. I'm assuming they must have been prepping a large order inside, or gearing up for some catering event, to explain the long wait for our order. We opted to share a Nachos con Todo and a grilled Fish Taco. There are some benches and public seating areas nearby, so we just sat outside, a few doors down to eat. The nachos were stacked, and were very filling and delicious. And we thoroughly enjoyed the fish taco as well.

We stopped in again (as we do almost every time we're over at the coast), and the tacos are just as good as when I reviewed them in 2018. The folk here are also wonderful. Oh yeah, the prices are quite reasonable as well. Do it, get a taco or three. You know you want to!

I would say for Norcal, this is the best tacos we have had so far- its pretty close to San Diego tacos. We ordered the al pastor street tacos, baja fish tacos and the tangia tacos. Their hot salsa is really good too and you can eat them at the beach nearby! The only things that could've made it better was if the al pastor had more pineapple pieces and the fish tacos needed to be double tortilla wrapped cause it was breaking.

Great spot by the water. I always get their fish tacos here. Crispy, tender, flakey. Parking can be a pain just because of how busy the area is but the food is delicious and I haven't had a better fish taco in Santa Cruz County.

Excellent Baja fish tacos. Lightly battered and cooked to perfection. Will definitely be back. Also had carne asada nachos and they were great as well.

I saw someone's negative review about the Too Good To Go partnership and totally disagree. They provide a perfect amount of food in every bag and it is DELISH!

Looking for something yummy after work. Got their fabulous fish tacos and a side of beans and rice. Only $13.85 considering the location is a fabulous deal! Glad I stopped in. Thank you Mijo's!

My daughter and I went here for lunch today. We both had the grilled fish tacos with an awesome pico de gallo with mango in it. The also have a green salsa that is delicious. We had the medium spice and it was delicious! These were some of the best fish tacos I've had. Their horchata was delicious too. Small interior with 3 tables and a counter. Simple interior and very clean. Service was good. I'll definitely be back.

Cute little hole in the wall! My fiancé , brother in law and I decided to grab lunch from here. They ended up getting the grilled chicken burritos, which were huge! But they add grilled habaneros, which really gave it a nice kick. I ended up getting the carne asada tacos, classic and you can't go wrong with them! Lastly, we all decided to try the Baja fish taco, and damn it was the perfect taco. The fish was perfectly fried and crispy, the coleslaw gave it a fresh light texture. Check this place out if you're ever in the area!

Love this place! Delicious food combined with fast and friendly service and convenient location. The baja fish tacos are my favorite but you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Love the Mijo's green salsa too! It's one of our favorite local eats as in w,e literally order take out dinner here about once a week.

Street metered parking or beach lot hourly paid parking available next to the restaurant. Service is nice. Tables inside available for dining. Ordered a burrito, beef tacos and fish tacos. The fish tacos were amazing, the batter was perfect, the fish amount was decent. The beef tacos and burrito was just ok. The beef was dry and not appealing. The burrito was tasty but resulted in an upset stomach afterwards. Would definitely come back for the fish tacos. Very cute area to walk around and enjoy the scenery.

I absolutely love this place! The food is awesome and they have the best deals! The cashiers and chefs are always helpful and kind - it's a small place but eating here or as take out is always a good idea! I love everything on their menu, but esp the Baja fish tacos, secret menu shrimp tacos and the mijos burrito! If I'm feeling fancy, I treat myself to chips and guac and it always puts a smile on my face and my friends' face, when I share! I've seen the owner around a few times and he seems to have a good relationship with the staff, which I think is literally the best!

Mijo's is a small counter service taqueria in Capitola. The staff is friendly and the food came quickly despite going with a group of six. Their Baja Fish tacos, selection of salsas, and Horchata are all excellent. My only gripe is a little too much cabbage on the tacos but that's personal preference.

Came here for dinner after walking all around Capitola beach and town. Ordered a burrito of asada, and a quesadilla of asada. Both were great. So full of flavor in every bite. The asada was seasoned and cooked just right. The rice was rich in flavor. The cheese was thick and melty in every bite. Customer service was great, polite, and welcoming. Prices were very reasonable. The location was great. I would come back here any time I'm in town. Highly recommend.

We are here after spending the afternoon at Capitola Beach. Food was delicious, just know this is more of a walk up order at the window and take to go. There is a little bit of seating outside but not actual table and chairs. Great to order and take to the beach! We ordered the Shrimp Burrito and tacos a Tinga taco and Fish Taco. Both tacos were delicious but the Tinga Taco was my favorite!

Went here for the first time after reading good reviews. Baja taco was a soggy mess, the crust was wet and mushy, and it had that distinct flavor and scent of old, rancid grease. Portion was very small, although that was ok with me, it was awful. I went here with great expectations, really wanted to like the place, and am so totally disappointed! The horchata was good, but sadly, I have no desire to return

My fiancé and I have been here twice, and we love it! The food is quick and flavorful. The price is so reasonable too! It's near the beach, which is so convenient. It's not a sit-down restaurant, but we were always able to sit near the beaches along the sidewalk. Highly recommend it to folks that are looking for great Mexican food!

Fresh beautiful unpretentious food. The vegetarian quesadilla is a revelation and the tacos are delicious

I remember having these last year and this year in June for my Boy Scouts camping trip. We usually go to the beach and where do I go? To Mijo's because there tacos are amazing and there staff is nice. 10/10 try it

A really convenient spot to grab tacos only about a 2 minute walk from the beach! I ordered Al pastor street tacos and a fish taco, both were great. The salsa provided on the side was delicious and added lots of flavor to the tacos. There's limited space to sit inside, but food always tastes better when you're outside looking at the beach, so that's not an issue. Service was quick and efficient. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area again :)

Amazing tacos if your in the area stop by you won't be disappointed the service was very good as well

It's really hard to find quality Fish Taco's these days. Both the Baja Fish taco and Grilled Fish taco are amongst the best fish tacos in Northern California. Absolutely amazing and a must have if you're town! If you like my reviews, consider "following" my profile for reviews all across the SF Bay Area . Why "follow" someone? It causes the person you follow's reviews to tier to top when you pull up a business. I find this very handy when researching venues. Rod's Review grading scale explained. Essentially I personally base it on the likelihood of a return visit and I try to be stingy with 5 star reviews since they should be "special" in my eyes. Price/Value also play a role obviously but there are $ and $$$$ littered across my grading scale. 5 stars - "I'll go out of my way" (approx 6 % of my reviews) 4 stars- "If I was in the area I'd go here and would recommend", (approx 38% of my reviews) 3 stars "Maybe if was nearby", (approx 37% of my reviews) 2 stars -"Would likely not return, Only if you want to go", (approx 16% of my reviews) 1 star -"No thanks, even if I was hungry", (approx. 3 % of my reviews)
