    This place SMACKED. I had two tacos de asada and one pollo. It hit the spot and now has me thinking of those handmade tortillas. Service was so friendly, they really made us feel like home. Will def be returning next time! Super family friendly spot.

    STOP !! you have found the perfect place ! The food and service here is amazing. Hand made tortillas, fresh ingredients, clean environment, hands down one of the best spots in Oxnard !! It's a must try !!!

    Al Pastor burrito. Packed with meat and little rice/beans.  Housemade tortilla.  Delicious

    Start with the tortillas. Only 4 ingredient - wheat flour, shortening, salt and water. That's all a tortilla should ever be. Made fresh daily and delicious. Got the Al Pastor burrito. Huge thing that feeds 2 people. Packed with flavorful meat, and barely any rice/beans. Would get this anytime, but next visit is def gonna be tacos gobernador (crispy shrimp tacos). People are super nice. Place is basically a small storefront with only a few tables. They make everything to order, so takes a minute, but worth it.

    2 asada tacos and a quesabirria taco, YUM

    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.

    Asada taco de harina con todo (Steak taco with flour tortilla)

    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.

    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 ;)

    Pastor taco California style

    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!

    Not to be dramatic but this is the best quesadilla I have ever had. Their quesadillas are fried…read morewith your choice of meat. We ordered shrimp and it was fully loaded with fresh, juicy, and well seasoned shrimp. Loved their salsas as well. Shrimp tacos were just as good. Fish tacos were good but we wished the fish pieces were a little bigger. I HIGHLY recommend and will be back to try their other items. Margarita was well balanced and not too strong. Lovely back patio for dine in. Self servce water.

    Unfortunately, I've had two negative experiences that changed my opinion of the business…read more The first happened when my family and I purchased three full orders of food and were told we couldn't use the restroom. Instead of speaking to us directly, the owner asked an employee to tell us that customers were not allowed to use it. As paying customers, that felt frustrating and unwelcoming. The second experience involved the aguas frescas. I asked if I could sample a flavor before purchasing, and I was told no. When I asked what would happen if I didn't like the drink, I was informed that the restaurant does not allow exchanges or refunds. While I understand businesses have policies, the interaction came across as unfriendly and left a bad impression. After supporting this restaurant for years, these experiences were enough for me and my family to decide not to return. Loyal customers want to feel valued and appreciated, and I hope management takes customer service concerns seriously because great food alone isn't always enough to keep customers coming back.

    A place recommended by a contractor who fixed our windows in Oxnard California. The man claims this…read moreis the best Mexican birria he's ever had in his life. With that being said, I wanted to try it out. This was about 2 years ago prior to this visit I had today at this location. I jotted the note down after overhearing him talking about it while watching Netflix. When arriving, the environment outside is run down, old fashioned and in the scary graffiti, homeless surrounding. Parking is difficult to find, but we got lucky me and a colleague. The place is on a road side where parking it located a few streets between about 100 feet away. The surrounding had graffiti and loitering which was unpleasant and I would imagine it is worse at night, be careful here! Inside, a wonderful aroma excites you as you enter the restaurant. Booths all around and hard uncomfortable seats. A lot of people came here today on Sunday afternoon. Customer service was excellent, the guy at the front was very chill, polite and acted as if I was his homie, buddy or good friend. This is what I like. I ordered the birria of course, a meat drenched in a bunch of flavors for days to keep the meat juicy, tender and moist. The variations ordered were three tacos plate with birria, onions cilantro and a consome that was massive. This meal was $17. The other order was a four piece birria quesadilla that was absolutely delightful, succulent and had a delicious hunger craving aroma and flavor that any starving or hungry person would die for! This plate was $14. The tacos did come with beans and rice. Between the two dishes the birria quesadilla was my favorite however, the tacos tasted better. The tortilla of the tacos was fresh and made with love. The value was regular, something I expected compared to taco trucks and side vendors of Mexican food. This place is extraordinary. I felt guilty after consumption because it was fatty, juicy and everything you would want in a pleasurable meal, but it was heavy on the calories and filling. It was a messy meal, I added salsas, more seasoning from the condiments bar. There were so many different sauces and fillings like lemon etc. to balance the flavors of the birria. The console incuded was an added kick that I loved. Definitely one of the best if not the best birria I ever had and I highly recommend this place if you like Mexican cuisine at its finest. An absolute hidden treasure that you need to try! I'll come back after a month of consistent cardio and strength training to burn enough fat and make room for another appetite that soothes my brain cells.

    It was my first time trying this spot out but it won't be my last visit. Yes, parking was a little…read morechallenging but worth it. Place isn't too big inside and it was packed when we went on a Saturday afternoon. I was for sure going to get the nachos and tacos but wanted more. Jesus was kind enough to recommend the grilled cheese and burrito. Both were great recs and delish! I mean I thought about the grilled cheese and burrito days after. The horchata was creamy and you could tell it was made in house. This place is delish, no notes.
