Cool vibe inside the restaurant but the food was just too basic for me. The menu at the restaurant was not the menu posted on their website. I had the Enchilada Azteca plate and it was basically shredded chicken in a flour tortilla with cheese and a bland tomato soup tasting sauce on top with beans and rice. I was honestly pretty disappointed. The drinks were good though.

Love this spot!! Love that it's in Camarillo. The DJ brings a great vibe and the drinks are so good. Come enjoy the music! It's fun! My husband got the Carne asada and said it was delicious. I got the empenadas, they were delicious too. We will definitely go again!

Garbage. Hot garbage. I ordered the enchiladas, tasted so bland that salt could not save it. Food was warm. Rice and beans that came with meal tasted like something out of a can. Waiter continuously forgot food and items. Music is so loud the waiter couldn’t hear me, got the order wrong. Place says traditional Mexican food, place tries too hard to make you feel like it’s Mexican food when really the menu is small, I do not feel like I’m in a warm Mexican home or the likes. Maybe I’m pampered by my Mexican mother in law whose food is a million times better. You’ll have better food at Yolanda’s or at Limon y Sal. Do not come here if you want to eat Mexican food. Place is…trash.

SO disappointed that the food and service aren't as awesome as the atmosphere!
Chips, salsa, guac are good. That was the only thing that tasted good :( and if it weren't for the terrible service, I'd consider coming back just for chips and salsa.
In our group of five, no one's food tasted good and everyone's good, including the soup, arrived tepid at best. The fajitas and chicken soup barely had any meat, the tostada salad was just lettuce, tomatoes, onions
Our waiter never looked up at us, didn't check on us, didn't ask if everything was okay (it wasn't), and when we were able to grab him as he zipped by, he didn't stop to let us finish asking for the things we needed (more chips, a wrong order, warm food)
As others have mentioned, it wasn't busy so it's not that he was juggling tables and orders.
So disappointed 😞 the place looks SO cool, I really wanted this to be a great place.

Third time's the charm with Axolotl Restaurant after Culichi Town closed quicker than they took to open trying to do Mexican after Brendan's Pub closed. For my money Good, this is Good, Authentic Mexican food. These folks have put a lot of planning and money into the rebuilding of this restaurant property! Tonight's two page menu has an interesting variety: Spouse had Flautas - just right for a tender tongue. My first choice was two Crunchy Tacos adding some of the chip salsa - very good hot out of the kitchen. The Chile Relleno was good with rice & beans (staff said the beans were so smooth because the soaking process takes 2 days). Satisfying & we'll be back next time when the music is playing.

The server said they switched management so the menu was very limited but everyone was super helpful. Kay, our server, was super nice and answered questions. Good margaritas. I hope to see the restaurant expand.
