Food is delicious, especially the fajitas. Chips and salsa are really good. The service is really good, they keep checking in you, refill your drinks. Probably one of the best Mexican restaurants in Ventura County

Love the service and food here!! The Fajitas come in single and double order which are both great to share! One thing to note is that they don't come with rice.

A great place to relax and unwind after a long day/week with a margarita! The food leaves a little to be desired, but the ambiance is great and the patio is enclosed so you're never get hit by the sun or elements. I ordered the Chile Colorado and we got a side of guacamole with our chips and salsa. The guacamole had whole chunks of avocado in it still and was hard to eat. We resorted to using and fork and breaking it up into smaller pieces, just a little more work than we were hoping for.

We were up to try a different Mexican restaurant, and somehow ran across Yolanda's as a good alternative. The parking is a little weird. Parking in back, walk around and enter the front after hiking up a ramp. A large entryway opens to an impressive looking salsa bar. A busser brought water with chips and salsa almost immediately. The chips were thin and crispy and house made. Not greasy at all. The salsa was well balanced both in sweet-hot-acid, but also viscosity. It stuck to the chips no problem. Pretty soon -- within less than 10 minutes -- our server came and took our drink order. Iced tea. It was most welcome on a hot day, fresh brewed and not from a bag n box machine. For lunch we ordered chicken fajita for two. It was plentiful, with the fajita mix arriving on a sizzling hot cast iron plate. On a side-plate were toppings and sides; the ubiquitous beans and rice. The chicken was tender and the veggies were caramelized perfectly, with charred edges. The seasoning and sauce could have been more... Mexican. I'd have liked more of a spicy rojo sauce. The sauce was more like a thickened clear broth reduction from the chicken and veggies. We could have added cholula or salsa but didn't. We were stuffed pretty quickly so we brought about 1/3 of it home. If you go with three people, you'll have plenty to eat. We never figured out the purpose of the salsa bar...

Love this restaurant! It's my husband's favorite in Ventura. We come here at least once a month. The service is great and we love the salsa bar. They have a large variety of margaritas to choose from so happy hour is definitely a must here!

Okay, no matter what else happens at this restaurant for tonights dinner, the shredded beef nachos were beyond wonderful. Tender meat, delicious refried beans, pico, guac and crema, Bueno! Tried their chili cheese tamale and found a new favorite. Most of the time that flavor can be hit or miss, well tonight it was a home run. Keep up the great work Yolanda's.

We had a nice meal at Yolanda's. Service was great and our food arrived promptly. Seating was comfortable and our food was tasty. The sides with the fajitas were really good. Most Mexican Restaurants don't give you guacamole or sometimes not even cheese. But I got guacamole, Tomato and onions, and shredded cheese. The portion size was perfect. My son's chicken quesadilla tacos were good too.

We're out in the Valley tonight and instead of getting stuck in traffic going home we decided to stop for some Mexican food. So glad we stopped here! The food was sooo good and Ana, our waitress, was so helpful with recommendations and suggestions. Service was fast, even at 5:30pm. The ambiance is very family friendly with a great bar setup. Wish we could come here more often but it'll be a must when in the area!
