Really great service - the girls (sisters) are super friendly and take good care of you. The food is fresh and great for the price! I was there for two hours and enjoyed the time!

The best staff, the best menudo and pozole.The 50 miles trip was worth it.

Great service, generous portions, great flavors, guacamole was tasty, fresh, and homemade.

Two years ago Ay Caramba was 5+ stars but recently (last two orders), the food has been mediocre & the service unprofessional. My most current visit went like this: placed order, waitress says, “ready in 15-min”, ok I’ll be back, I returned in 15min, waitress asked me, “what did you order?” I give her my order, thinking she wants to give me the correct order, not the case, she never put my order in. I called her on it, & her reply, “it doesn’t matter, your order is next now”. The topper, cook yells, “we don’t have tamales, no tamales sold around here”. Why are tamales on the menu? I’m being generous giving 3-stars; I’m hoping the place returns to the quality food & service it had. I may never find out; it’s unfortunate, it was a great place.

This place has one of the best Micheladas Ive had. The food and service are great. Thank you!

I got the mole pork which was really good. This place is a small hole in a wall Mexican restaurant. Pretty small indoor seating, but they have a drive thru.

Overpriced and overdone. Omelette wasnt edible. Steak fajita overdone and peppers burnt. First and last visit

Great food and friendly service. I highly recommend it. 👍

My husband and I have very different opinions on how the meal was so ill list bothI chose the 3 stars but my husband said only 1 star.When we got there we observed only about 3 tables being used. Im not sure if they had just finished with a rush or not but all the other open tables were still dirty. They quickly cleared one off for us. Next when we went to order drinks, we were informed that their soda fountain doesnt work. I ordered a lemonade which was good. My husband after not being able to order the soda, then tried to order a drink to which he was told would have to be asked about. He was then informed they were out of that drink as well. He settled for a bottled coke.When we went to order food everything went well at first. I ordered a grilled Burrito, my husband a chimichanga, and we got chicken strips for our son. About the time they were bringing mine and my sons meal out the waitress comes over asking my husband what type of meat he wanted in the chimichanga after already specificying the beef chimicanga. Mind you my sons meal and my meal are now sitting on the table after we have been waiting 30 minutes and only now are they confirming the meat in my husbands meal.So we get our food. I have no complaints on my Burrito and my son seemed to love his food since he chowed down but my husband said the chimichanga didnt taste right at all. He ended up not eating it all and instead ate the rest of our sons meal.Service seemed a bit slow at times but overall was decent. My experience varied differently from my husbands and, while I would consider coming back, my husband has said unfortunately he WOULD NOT reccomend this place and will not come back. Im not sure if I would highly recommend this place to my friends either. I would definitely give ample warning to be prepared to have some issues and for them to be out of things but for the food to be good at least.

Been waiting a few years at the table for food. Im ready to exclaim !ay carumba! in surprise if the food ends up on my table sometime today... Ill add to this review if I ever get to eat anything...*Edit*The food did come and it was pretty good. My son and I really loved the pabil. A bit pricy, and the service was slow, but our waiter was nice. We may be back, but probably a to go order in the future.

A perfect Gem of a breakfast joint. Family owned and operated. The best option in town when it comes to traditional Mexican breakfast, lunch, and dinner dishes. They also happen to nail American and Continental style breakfast as well. Ive cleared about half the menu, and have yet to encounter a dish that has come up short. The Head Chef is the Co-owner I believe along with the Husband who works as Host and waiter. Both of them are extremely personable and friendly and remember repeat and loyal customers. I recommend this place to anyone who even utters the word breakfast around me. Their lunch and dinner options are both delicious and more than reasonably priced. The one thing that could be construed as a down side is the size of the restaurant, but I see the small size as a pro not a con. It allows the staff to interact with their patrons on an intimate level and lends itself to the home style menu. A must visit for anyone even remotely near the Santa Clarita Valley.

The perfect ending to my 40th birthday. Dinner with my family at Ay Caramba! The food is so good and the owners were so fun and friendly!————————————————-Update Oct 2019* * * * *Since I can’t leave a 2nd review, I posted 5 “stars” above. My wife and I came for dinner the other night. A date! An actual date without kids! We sat outside and at chips and salsa and bean dip. Our server was great and offered some great recommendations. My wife had the steak fajitas and I had the chili verde. So good! We will keep coming back and keep posting updates!

Good foodGreat service

Biggest burrito Ive ever had, got the Shredded Beef Wet Burrito, it was delicious, but a 1 hour wait for pick up, which you can already guess that its really worth it.

Went for a late lunch.. Waited 45 minutes for them to bring out the chips and salsa and another half hour to bring out the actual meal.. Very disappointed in this place.

Great food that was authentic.They are doing well, despite lockdown. They are now open for outdoor seating and have a drive thru too.

Service was great the food was not so great

The chimichanga and stuffed poblano were both incredibly yummy! Service is great too! We are definitely coming back.

Seriously the best in SCV! Not only was the food amazing, but the SERVICE was amazing. They go above and beyond and really create an amazing customer experience. I had a last minute order and a big order for a large family that I needed. I had a request that was not on the menu but the Manager called me, got what I needed, and made a custom package for me! They got it all ready in about an hour and were just amazing. All my family LOVED the food. We will definitely be coming back again!! Thank you, thank you!!!

Loved this little authentic eatery, will definitely be back!

This place is currently open for outdoor dining during COVID. I went there last weekend and wanted to leave a review after how impressed I was with the food and service. The waitress was extremely friendly and attentive! The food was delicious, actual authentic Mexican food. Im not from the area, but would definitely go again the next time Im in town!

Amazing food and an amazing owner.

I like shrimp ♡ thank you for your recommendation

Amazing service and delicious food

Always great friendly service and food is fresh and delicious 😋

Ive been here a few times with my friends and we all love it! Ive tried many Mediterranean restaurants in Orange County and this is definitely my #1. Their meat is fresh and so delicious. They have the best sliders Ive ever had in my life! The staff is also very friendly and the atmosphere is great definitely coming back

Great place for breakfast. Machaca n eggs a la mexicana style. Best

Small and cozy place with a huge menu.

This certain day I order a wet burrito, regular burrito and some fish tacos. The wet burrito which was shredded beef, beans and rice was okay not the best I had, presentation was nice looking which came with a side of some sour cream and gaucamole. The burrito itself was great definently will buy that again, the steak was well seasoned which made it bomb. Now the fish tacos were a disappointment, the fish itself was nice, good texture but the tortilla they use could be a better quality instead of maize tortilla I would have like it to be flour. But if youre looking for a good quick mexican cuisine, try this spot.

Just finished my left overs. They were delicious as well. All agreed that Leslie went above and beyond and hooked us up right. Special requests were accepted with a smile. Definitely ordering again & when all the craziness is over planning on eating at the restaurant and thanking her personally.

We made a quick visit to this great restaurant solely based on the reviews we read online. The food was excellent and the service was even better. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving a good meal in the Santa Clarita area. Went for an early dinner for good Mexican food. Both of us delighted with the food. Seating a little cramped but overall experience for unique Zmexican food well worth the $. Will return.

Owner is very nice and attentive. We only tried breakfast and we really liked it. It is a little pricey for the portions but not too bad. The location is pretty small and a party more than 4 will not fit very well. Most tables are meant for 2 or so people so be aware of that. There are also a few covered tables outside which is nice! Overall, a good intimate spot with a large menu.

Decent food... the first I was there, the service and food were really good. Made me feel like a guest in their home. The second time, was decent for and okay service. Third time there, service wasn’t really there. Not sure what happened. If they repeat the food and service of my first visit ... would go there much more often.

Food is always good but service can be somewhat lacking.

Both familiar and uncommon dishes. Indoor and outdoor seating for 20-30 total. Very high quality, reasonably priced. All the usual items, and frequent specials. Near the freeway exit, but not too near; a quiet place. Restricted hours, dinner only I think.

Leslie is out going and makes you feel right at home. Her staff especially Manny is friendly and makes sure your experience is is enjoyable. The food is authentic and flavorful. We love dinning alfresco under the canopy. And their michiladas are tasty!

Stopped on our drive through California for breakfast. Food was great and service was friendly. Not super fast, but not too slow. Glad we stopped. And we always like a restaurant that serves breakfast all day. We made a quick visit to this great restaurant solely based on the reviews we read online. The food was excellent and the service was even better. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving a good meal in the Santa Clarita area. Went for an early dinner for good Mexican food.

Awfully rude and unprofessional people.

A top scene for Mexican food. food was so fresh. the bill was fair for the quality of food. reminds me of a place in new york i loved to visit.

To look at the place as you drive up, you think, Why did I pick this one? Its small with limited seating both inside and out. But, believe me, its a must try! kind of place. Family owned and operated. I had the special of the day, Birria. Amazing! Ill be back and soon! I love this place, family owned. Across the street from Costco in canyon county. Best food..I had a veggie omelette and my husband had a shrimp omelette. A must!! Everything is Wonderful.. we go at least 3 month.Small restaurant but well worth it.

Fantastic mole! And a very pleasant space to sit outside.

We chose to eat here because of the ratings and it was hands down the best service we have received. Bringing a 1 year old isn’t an easy task & the waitress was so sweet with our son and so accommodating. The food was amazing and good quality as well, we will definitely be returning!

Awesome food and food service. They deliver with Door Dash too!

FOOD was okay. Awesome Customer service but food was pricey.

Nothing was freshly made everything was pre-heated and the cook always had his 😷 mask down. Its just not the same anymore

Good spot for delicious Mexican food. the service was very friendly and attentive. the place has a cool atmosphere.

This is a great place, I have been coming since 2017 and now its 2020. I know they changed owners but food is still good and service still good.

Small place with limited seating. Not bad. Decent portions. This is a place you will use Salt and pepper. But, excellent service. Both indoor and outdoor seating.

The Mexican food and fish were good. My wife didnt care for the Buffalo wings. Sports bar like setting with lots of televisions. Its an open restaurant that sits a few feet above street level. The bill for six people with either a beer or delicious fresh fruit drink was $63.00 with the 10% servicio (tip) included. In all, a nice place for dinner.

Stopped by here from out of town, because of the great reviews, and it did not disappoint! There were 5 of us and everything we had was great and the service was excellent!!! Definitely coming back!

A friend recommended we go here. I am happy we did. Tiny family owned business. The service is amazing. Everyone was very nice. The food was tasty. I am going to come back and try some other items on the menu. I waddled out from being full. Out food didnt take very long. The time was very reasonable, considering it was made fresh to order. I will be back

First time and we loved it. Fresh, delicious food. Will definitely be back.

Great find. Small place with limited seating but food and service very good! Definitely going back.

Love it!! The food is fantastic!

Fantastic food and service. Very good variety. Fajitas and Pasole better than any Ive ever had before

This place is a gem! The food is so good here. I had the crispy chicken combo and absolutely loved it. Friendly service too. A must try!

I have a new favorite place to eat in Santa Clarita. I was impressed by the decor when I first walked in the door. Very creative use of space and nicely decorated interior. I moved to the patio as it was very nicely appointed as well. The staff was very friendly and I felt comfortable immediately. The service is outstanding and when our meals came I was very pleasantly surprised. Delicious food served in beautiful white dishes. The presentation of the food matched the flavor and I am now hooked on this restaurant. I am very particular about Menudo and this was the best I ever had, fresh, hot and flavorful. The chicken mole, which is prepared with a tender breast and delicious sauce was a work of art. Try the desserts, you wont be disappointed. This was my first visit and I am looking forward to working my way through the menu. The owners are very friendly and charming. Give this place a try if you are tired of factory food. Dining should be an experience and this place does not disappoint.

Great restaurant. Our wait staff was incredible... the food was fantastic, large portions...

First time coming in. Great experience overall and the food was amazing had the menudo and it was on point plus 20$ mimosas pitcher with 6 different flavors.

Food tastes fresh and freshlyThe service is also special. I believe it is the owners and their children; they are spectacular. ..really. They attend to our needs, they are available and even playful.I find everything about Ay Caramel delightful.

Mexican food, awesome. Normally I would have posted a pic but food looked so good I couldnt stop. Quick, helpful, and friendly service. The bill was decent.

Mexican food at this place - yummy. stopped in on a tuesday. ill return with my relatives. the bill was fair. atmosphere is like a restaurant in fort worth i loved.

A fav spot for tasty Mexican food. Food was so delicious. Prices that are reasonable. I see why this place has a lot of positive reviews.

Mexican food, mmm, very satisfying. Got there about two, it was not packed. The staff was helpful and kind. The place has a cool atmosphere.

My favorite brunch spot in Canyon Country

Great coffee and tasty food made with fresh ingredients, the best place in town for a Mexican breakfast. The owner and staff are attentive to your every needs and make you feel like you are a guest in their home. Great experience, highly recommended.

Family-run restaurant with food that is just good. I came here to get a veggie omelette. It was overcooked. The salsa was just spicy water - no depth of flavor. On another occasion I had their pozole and that was just right. The owner is friendly and definitely adds to the atmosphere. He knows most of his patrons and that is something not often had in other places.

Excellent food, fast, attentive and friendly service. They offer an extensive menu that we look forward to trying in subsequent visits. My husband was very happy with the fish tacos; very generous portion and the pickled onion on top was a great touch. At $12.50 its a very good value. I had the veggie burrito which was also excellent; filled with a nice variety of vegetables including beans and rice and topped with a delicious salsa verde. Also an excellent value for $10.50. It wouldnt surprise me if they outgrow their current location!

The food is fantastic! The service is second to none and the owners are very engaging. First time there today but I know Ill be back often.

The food and service are outstanding. Friendly place and great service. The soups are made daily and on weekends they have menudo. Carnitas are super tasty. Ay Calamba does not have a full liquor license, but they serve beer and wine. They make sangria from scratch, which is delicious. If you are a vegetarian, there are quite a few selections and very good. Small place, but the food is really great.

As the last reviewer stated, at first you dont expect much from its location. However, this turned out to be one one the best Mexican meals Ive had outside of Mexico itself. Parking is very easy and the restaurant sits about 30 or so. The manager is very friendly and is concerned about how you like your meal. I had the cochinito pibil (a specialty from the Yucatan) for about $11. The taste was excellent and it came with the standard-beans, Spanish rice, and tortillas. I will certainly be back again and again.

Amazing food and awesome owner!! Had chilaquiles and added carne asada... sooo delicious!!! A must try! 😋 Very flavorful!! Will be back soon!!

Mexican food and the setting at this spot is great. I look forward to a return visit. This place has a cool feel to it.

Great food and service. Always a nice meal.

Great breakfast at this place and theyre happy to make it your way if they can.

If food makes you sweat, usually its because its good. Great Mexican food here.

A fav place for quality Mexican food. Great food with quality ingredients. The service here is outstanding. It has a good atmosphere.

Been here several times now. Food is good but I feel that sometimes the service is a little slow. Its a small place and there is usually only two servers. Other than that, its good food which is why I come back.

Food was great!! Steak burrito was the best I tasted in a long time. Owner was very attentive. My drink never emptied.

So so so good, I love this place. Try the sops azteca soup. It is much better than tortilla soup. Everything I have tried has been fresh and delicious. The wait staff is very efficient!

Small, out of the way, amazing food, and when the mood strikes, a floor show. The owners are wonderful, she is the chef and he runs the front of the house, he is hilarious, but you have to pay close attention. Always makes my day to eat a meal there.

Anything and everything in this place is absolutely and consistently fantastic..This restaurant is a little small, looks like it used to be a take-out place that was converted.I think what keeps the food in this place so consistently good is that the owners (absolutely beautiful people) are very much involved.Highly recommend Ay Caramba....

Love Love Love this place. Owners are so welcoming and nice. Great atmosphere. Great food! Cant say enough about this little gem.

Was very delicious! Our server was very awesome! She was very fast and very friendly! Would definitely like to go back soon!

Mexican food... super good. service is consistently above par.

Great food and amazing service! I recommend the adovada!!

This place is small in size but, i think its to have a most intimate time with friends and family. The food is excellent very authentic.

We decided with over 400 restaurants in the Santa Clarita Valley, we needed to start spreading our wings and start trying more of them. So we picked Ay Caramba! based on the favorable Trip Advisor reviews. Wow! What a find!! We went for a late lunch/early dinner at 2:30 p.m. and had the place all to ourselves. The owner and his wife (I assume it was his wife since this is a family owned and operator restaurant) were both very charming and amiable. We had fun conversing with them and they delighted in our raving over the excellent food. I feel so bad for my regular Mexican food haunts as they will be seeing less of me as I come back to Ay Caramba! to try more of their dishes. Today I had the Pipian made with a rather huge chicken breast.

Awesome. I added a photo of y shrimp taco meal. Picture perfect. Tastes as good as it looks. We love coming here!

Excellent food! Great service! Will be back for more.

Two main ingredients for a great dining experience, tasty authentic food and wonderful service. Aye Caramba has them both. They have a diverse menu with hard to find Mexican main dishes, fantastic soups with a bit of Cuban flair. Aside from letting our secret out, this is the best the Santa Clarita Valley has to offer.

First time here, very small and the bathroom is located on the outside, but, the food was amazing, the atmosphere was relaxing and the service was prompt and courteous. Leslie, our server, was so friendly and professional and was very knowledgeable of the menu, she should be given a raise. I highly recommend Ay carramba at Princessa, in Santa Clarita.

Weekend Menudo is Amazing. Great family owned restaurant.

The food was superb and the service was attentive and friendly. Well definitely be back.

Small place with lots of Goodness. We ate outside, It is very beautifully decorated and feels homie. You can hear the water fountain in the background and feel the breeze as you enjoy your amazing food.Mexican food on point. We had four dishes served. Everything from the Waitress attending to us, to the food was perfect!My girlfriend had the Chicken enchiladas, and she enjoy how delicious and good it was.She also had the Shreded Beef Mojado Burrito .. and she said the sauce on it was perfect.. not spicy but good and perfect.4 star for the food.Had the Grilled Steak Burrito and it was delightful and big.The location is small but has a lot of charm.. it is kinda of hidden but it adds to the beauty. Place is clean, everyone is plateful and caring to give you a good service.Will come back many times more and I highly recommend it to anyone with some serious Mexican Munchies!

Really friendly waiter and the food was decent. Its a place Ill visit again but not one I will crave.

Been there since they first opened. Great delicious and healthy cuisine.Recommended the place all around town.Best reviews are from my other highly reviewed restaurant owners who have tried it and also give Ay Caramba excellent praise. Alberto and Maggie are so hospitable and accommodating.So glad others have discovered this gem of a place.

We enjoy getting takeout from Ay Carumba. The food is well-prepared and authentic. The service is outstanding - they are always kind and helpful. I recommend them to everyone!

Food is good service not so much

This is the place to go for authentic Mexican food with a twist. You will love the owners and their personalities. Cant be beat!
