My wife, son and I had a good experience dining for the first time at Dario's...one of a handful of family owned one-off restaurants in Santa Clarita that we've been slowly making our way through. We all love Mexican food, and my son and I are vegetarian so it comes down to whether we have options to choose from. We did! Our server was also knowledgeable in terms of what and wasn't vegetarian which was helpful. (ie their regular refried beans and rice are both not vegetarian, but they offer black beans and a white rice which are.)
I had potato tacos. I mean vegetarian or not you can't go wrong with a fried taco filled with potatoes. They were good and the vegetarian rice also had some flavor to it which I appreciated.
I also had a mezcal margarita which looked beautiful and tasted good too.
We were seated quickly for a crowded Friday night with other people waiting as well.
There are a lot of classic Mexican food options for vegetarians.
We appreciated the dark vibe and decor as well which made us feel we were dining in a nice place in a sea of fast food and fresh-Mex places that are good, but don't give as nice a 'dining out' vibe as Dario's did.
We'd try it again!

WOW! Absolutely incredible experience at Dario’s Mexican in Newhall! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and authentic. Abel, Julia and Omar went above and beyond to make us feel right at home their attention to detail (remembering what I like), friendly personalities and genuine hospitality made the meal unforgettable.
The food is authentically Mexican, rich in flavor, and clearly made with care. Every dish we tried had depth you can tell they really care about quality and the overall experience. I leave every time feeling excited to come back!!!
If you’re looking for the best service, true Mexican cuisine, and a team that treats you like family, this is your spot.

Great Mexican Restaurant with long history in the Santa Clarita Valley.
Food doesn't disappoint and a favorite place among the locals.
Interior is dark with lots of seating. Parking can be a challenge as it's limited for this popular spot. There is additional street parking.
Keep your head on a swivel when parking as the Restaurant shares parking with a gas station and liquor store. Cars constantly coming in an out.
Weekends and dinner hours can create a parking challenge.

Decent food but the fish taco and chile relleno and beef taco tasted a bit bland in my opinion, good margaritas, chips and salsa. The rice and beans where probably my favorite and had lots of nice flavor. I would go back but I am not a fan that the restaurant is right next to a gas station and parking is limited. It feels like you are walking into a convenience store when you pull up.

I’m not familiar with Mexican food. By what we had, was very tasty!
Steak fajitas is a very big portion, was enough for two of us.
