Asadero Mexicali satisfied my week long craving for tacos!! This taco joint is right off of a main street and there's plenty of street parking. Inside, there are many tables to dine in and it was lively in a Saturday night. The lady at the counter was friendly and attentive while we were ordering. We tried the asada tacos with everything and quesabirria tacos to-go. The food came out promptly and nicely packaged. The asada tacos were good, and a great serving size. The quesa birra taco was the star of the show as it was packed with flavor! There was also fresh cucumber and grilled onions/chile on the side which I loved. I definitely look forward to coming back and trying other items off their extensive menu. read more

BIRRIA RAMEN! TASTY! My sister recently bragged about her foodie find of Birria Ramen in Chino Hills. CHINO HILLS?!?! C'mon, Let's go Oxnard, no way Chino Hills has something on us! Never had or heard of Birria Ramen before that but they can NOT have better Mexican options than my home town! Yelp... find me Birria Ramen in Oxnard! And OF COURSE we have a multiple options! Oxnard REPRESENTIN'!!! We decide to go to Asadero MexiCali as it has a good rating on yelp (5*) and the only One open on Tuesdays. Located on Saviers Road, north of Santa Clara High School. Yelp page says it's a "street vendor" but upon arrival it's a Brick & Mortar now! 'Gratz on the upgrade! Looks like street parking only but there are spaces available when we arrive, so easy walk in. Counter service here and we are welcomed warmly as we approach. Well, I know what we want! Let's get our grub on! BIRRIA RAMEN: Oh YEAH! Nothing like a big bowl of hot soup on a cold & rainy day! Ramen swims in a large reusable bowl of steaming hot consomé which has a wonderful aroma when it arrives on our table. Mmmm! And the birria de rez is plentiful, tender & flavorful. Ramen is fully cooked and plentiful as well. Squirt a little fresh lemon juice on it and Voilà, muy DELICIOSO! QUESA TACO: Pretty good sized street taco here, bigger than the ones you find at the popular spots in Los Angeles. Shells are crisp, cheese is all melty with a nice thick layer. Birria is plentiful and perfectly tender and tasty, for small taco. Dipping it into the consomé just adds another savory layer to enhance the flavor. So GOOOD! Great combination I could enjoy again & again... mouth watering :) VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION! Another delicious Mexican food joint in Oxnard to enjoy. Friendly and attentive staff really create a wonderful atmosphere here. Will have to explore more of the menu next time but ain't gonna lie... that birria ramen & quesatacos are legit! Enjoy ;) read more

After a long review search on Yelp looking for tacos that were worth purchasing. The reviews for this spot did not guide me wrong. Coming from a 1generation Mexican household, I have never purchased tacos in ventura county as good as my mom's. HOWEVER, Asadero Mexicali's asada tacos on a flour tortilla . They were so good, the asada meat has great flavor and crispy edges. This being my first time having beans on an asada taco and repollo, was a nice surprise, don't skip out on those toppings, they are a staple. The gentlemen working tonight were very friendly and provided great information on the how the tacos are assembled as well as suggestions for next time. Will definitely go back soon. The restaurant has a unique charm, it almost feels like you are in Mexicali. read more

Ok I had to go here twice to be sure. And now that I am. I think I've found the best tacos in Oxnard? That's saying A LOT. They're not your average tacos if you order it California style. Comes with asado, cheese, beans and salsa. Definitely not your average tacos. On a warm FRESH in house made flower tortilla. These ingredients here are fresh. The staff is extremely nice and professional. A true family owned business. One I will definitely continue to support. So would i recommend this place? Without question YES. You will not be disappointed if you like this style of taco. I would of given them 4 stars due to the inside needing a bit of help. But I had to honestly ignore that. Kitchen is clean and the food is top notch. Staff is cool. So there isn't an issue. Check it out! You'll enjoy it! read more

I haven't tried the food yet but I go to Purchase the fresh tortillas. They are the best tortillas. We go through a few packs a week. Everyone has been super friendly with me. They even helped me out one day cause the card machine wasn't working and I didn't have cash. They let me take 2 packs of tortillas and asked me to come back to pay. Now a days, who does that?! I gave them my Name and number and promised to come back and I did. They sell the tortillas at a few local meat markets but I like to go there and get them fresh. read more

A great little family run place. Their Aguas Frescas, while often and after thought are tops. I had their special for that day (Tacos de Pescado) one Taco De Pescado empanizado and one Taco Gobernador. Both were excellent, the fillings are spot on, the shrimp (for the gobernador) were clearly fresh grilled and done just right. The pescado too was cooked perfectly. And the salsas provided too were very well made. Top this off with super nice folks, eager to please and you have yourself a winner! I'd have pictures but I jumped on to the food so quickly all I could show is an empty plate! It's a bit easy to miss when going there the first time, so just go by the street address and you'll be fine. read more

The service is above excellent, everyone who has ever helped us has been genuinely sweet and overly accommodating. The food is bomb. My fiancé gets something different every time he goes & I sample his plates, but I get the same thing every time...I love the nachos. They're huge but I'm a left overs girlie so Idc lol. The way they build the nachos tho, they never get soggy. They always taste good no matter what meat I choose to go on top, and I tell them I want extra this or none of that they are super accommodating. Def try Asadero Mexicali. read more

So my fiancé and I were scouring the internet to try the golden "birria tacos". In all honestly, Asadero Mexicali wasn't our first choice, but we managed to find this place after our first choice being closed. However, they did not disappoint. We ordered the birria tacos and quesa tacos. They were delicious. Now, just for informational purposes, this establishment is located in what some would consider a more run down part of Oxnard. That being said, don't let that intimidate you, it's worth it. As my family likes to say, you find the best food in off the wall places (meant with zero disrespect). Also most of the menu is in Spanish (which was fine for me, but those who don't read Spanish), but I'm sure who ever is helping you could easily explain the menu in English. So if you are wanting to find the golden birria tacos - try here. I added some photos from yesterday just to show exactly what we got. read more

Weirdest visit there I ever had. We've eaten there several times, the food was really good. I show up, they're all very nice. I ordered two Tortas. They take 25 minutes to make one torta then I sit there while they make the second one, while the first one sits on the "warmer". I get home and there's five pieces of gristle in my torta, I can't even eat it. The bread is thick and not toasted, very little carne in the middle. I set it all aside to take pictures of it but that would be too cruel so It ended up in the trash. Several people picked up their order while I'm waiting for my second torta while the first one is sitting on the "warmer". I'll spare you the details on everybody else's food. 27 bucks up the keister. I know things happen once in awhile and the food and the people have been good prior to this but this one rubbed me wrong. I feel like going back and trying again considering it might be a one-off but it's a tough call if your left hungry, plus, it's not affordable at that rate. read more

Found this spot on YELP and now returning the favor. The best camarón, quesa and birria tacos I've ever had. If I could've eaten more than three I would have. The attention to detail - from the way they chop their onions to how thin and fresh their flour tortillas are - make sure the texture and taste are amazing. We talked to everyone working that day. Such a sweet group of guys working. If I lived nearby I'd eat here once a week. Oh, and if you're looking for Frutti Hielo, it's one in the same. That's their old name but they still make all the same fruit cocktails in addition to food. read more

If you're spending the day at the beach with your family, make this your food stop because you will not regret it. The food is always hot, fresh, and seriously delicious.

I've driven 30 to 40 miles just to eat here, and it is always worth it. We'll bring a pop-up table and folding chairs, turn it into a little picnic, eat, laugh, and head home full and happy.

Absolutely love Asadero Mexicali! Their homemade tortillas and tacos are next level--so fresh and flavorful, you can truly taste the difference. Every dish is made from scratch with care, and it shows. The food is absolutely delicious, the portions are generous, and the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality you're getting. On top of that, the staff is extremely respectful and welcoming, providing top-notch customer service that makes you feel right at home. Pro tip: Don't let the exterior of the building fool you--everything here is fresh, authentic, and made with love. This place is a true hidden gem! read more

My husband and our bestie thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered which was: two enchilada plates, a Huarache, and an order of nachos. It felt like we were enjoying a home cooked meal. I would have loved to have posted pictures; but our meals were far too yummy! They disappeared within a blink! We feel the price was extremely reasonable and our wait time was ultra minimal. Bravo!! We highly recommend this restaurant if you're searching for high quality Mexican food at a reasonable price. Delicious!!

Tacos Al Vapor El Mocho

It took me a while to muster up enough courage to try another taco truck in Oxnard. Time and time…read moreagain I have been disappointed with mediocre tacos and while these might not be the best tacos in the world, the guy running it does deserve some recognition. To start off, tacos a vapor, as the name states it are steamed tacos where the meat is cooked in a steamer versus any frying or grilling. There is still a lot of technique that goes into this, but the outcome is a delicious surprise of texture and flavor. Having said that, it is not every day where you find a place like this that does it right. El Mocho has proved to me on several occasions now, that he knows how to cook and present the steamed taco in a way that is enjoyable and tasty. He always offers his guests a simple but tasty appetizer that consists of some tortilla chips, beans, and a drop of his tasty salsa. Who does that anymore? I mean not even restaurants offer you a complimentary appetizer anymore. It's not much but the mere fact that this guy on a taco truck does, speaks volumes to his character and drive to succeed in such a competing market. The main reason I was there was for the cabeza (head) tacos. It is so hard to find decent cabeza anywhere these days, most people don't really know how to cook it let alone make it good. Tacos El Mocho does a great job at it, and it comes out tasting delicious, reminds me of home. The other good options are Lengua, Labio and surprisingly the Asada is also tasty. The truck is a cash only business and tacos run for 3 bucks a pop. A little steep in my opinion but the flavor makes up for the cost. Keep in mind, the tacos a vapor come out hot! So, unless you want a 1st-2nd degree burn in your mouth, give it a few seconds before shoving them in your mouth, I made that mistake once already :( The truck is hard to miss, he is parked on a side street parallel to Oxnard Blvd. right in front of Smart and Final and Burger King. If you like the more "exotic" meat options in your tacos, give Tacos El Mocho a try, you will not regret it.

I've returned to this Taco truck at least 3x and my parents also got me tacos a few nights ago,…read morewhich got me to go back tonight... their Asada tacos are delish (my go to lately). I appreciate how they offer a free appetizer of chips while you wait. It is easily seen on Oxnard Blvd right next to Burger King. The area is sometimes dark and people may be weary at first, but you will come to see that people do come here! So don't be quick to judge. Service has been quick all the times I've ordered here and they all seem nice and approachable. They do not sell horchata here at the time this review is being written, jfyi. I recommend this taco truck. :-)

Verdict? This is a…read moreregular Oxnard Taco truck, simple servings of tacos, burritos, tortas and some other items like their popular gorditas that are stuffed with beans cheese and your choice of meat. So taste-wise? They are ok, nothing great but a good late night spot to catch some tacos. Here's a rundown of their meat offerings: Asada - Not that good, but then again tell me one place here in the Nard that knows how to do this right. Pastor - Just ok, they cook it on the flattop just like all other taco places but the flavor is decent. Lengua - Very good! My favorite of all, very tender and flavorful. If you add the green sauce and a little salt you'll be in tongue heaven, yes that is a thing! Barbacoa - Not bad, was missing a little salt but over all good flavor. Tripas - Nope I don't eat this, not even in Mexico, I have to draw the line somewhere. Chorizo - Pretty good overall, decent seasonings not too fatty, it would be great in a gordita or a quesadilla. Cabeza - Not that great, still too watery and lots of fat on it, however I did hear some lady order it without fat?! Is that really a thing?? I might try this again. Still left to try: Chile Verde, Colorado. Like I said, this place is not a show stopper but when you are sitting at home watching TV on a late night and you get the cravings for some Tacos, this is not a bad place to try. Also the ladies running it are very nice and accommodating which is always good to have. Oh and before I forget, apparently the Tortas are pretty good because my kid had me go back two days in a row and ordered the exact same Torta, so at some point I think I should try one too ;)
