    Complete ass, way overcooked

    I haven't been to this location in a while. So long that the last time I was there, they were serving piping hot corn burritos in styrofoam containers, where they'd burn holes through the bottom and you didn't know wether you were consuming melted foam or not. Anyways, I got a craving for some again, thinking ok, let's see what fuckery we have now. First glance when getting my corn burritos, was looking good, they came in a cardboard like material food box, no melting going on with that. Opened it up, and saw nothing but cheese, which was a plus. Times before you'd think the amount of cheese they put on the burritos came out of their checks, super stingy, not nearly enough. But this time, a good amount. First 2, of an order of 4, were good. Then we get to the next 2, which were stuck together and WAY OVERCOOKED! Absolute garbage. Like how can you box that up and serve it? This is the underside of the corn burritos, telling me you couldn't tell?

    It's been 10 plus years since I stopped at Bjs drive in, but while working on a larger job near by and to keep the project on time I stopped by to get the crews lunch. There's definitely been a revival the place was packed at 1130 with a line to order and a crowd waiting for theirs. The menu still hectic as always combining atypical drive in grub of burgers and fries to the inclusion of Chinese food! Yup you heard right!! Including specialty items like a flaming hot Cheeto burrito and more you're sure to find something to enjoy. Plan ahead during those lunch breaks because it took 30 mins from the time I arrived to the time I got the order so if your tight on time for lunch you may try to phone an order in.

    I had the California burrito with carnitas. Good size burrito . Great service little pricey but what isn't. Worth the size for sure. 16.99

    Burgers are good here, but the fries are better. Plus I see they have Patty Melts! I'll definitely be back!

    We were honestly so pleasantly surprised by Taqueria Cuernavaca!…read more We're from San Diego, so we don't take Mexican food lightly--we're pretty spoiled when it comes to quality and flavor. But this spot completely exceeded our expectations. We ordered delivery, and even then, everything arrived fresh, well-packaged, and still absolutely delicious--which says a lot. The food was incredibly flavorful without being heavy or greasy (something that's hard to find). You could really taste the freshness in the ingredients, and every dish felt well-balanced and thoughtfully made. This is one of those places you don't necessarily expect to be that good, and then it totally delivers. We'll definitely be ordering again next time we're in Ventura!

For me, one of the best indicators that the food is going to be amazing is when there are dish photos on the menu. That alone sets the tone. The fresh salsa bar is a standout, and yes, they have Mexican Coke and cervezas. On weekends, don't miss the white pozole with crunchy rolled taquitos filled with ricotta-style queso and all the fresh fixings. Add that chili oil and thank me later. I also love their tacos, especially the veggie ones. I'm not vegetarian, but they're that good. The ambiance is casual and welcoming. Clean, bright, and no-frills in the best way. It feels like a true neighborhood taquería where you can come as you are, whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down to enjoy your meal. I recently learned this is their first location, which makes it even better. It's family-owned, now with four locations across Santa Barbara, Oxnard, and Ventura County, yet it still feels grounded and local. You can dine in, take out, or order delivery. The place is spotless, service is quick, and the staff is genuinely kind. A solid go-to for quality Mexican food that hits every time.

My son ordered the carne asada tacos and couldn't stop talking about how good they were. He loved the seasoning and the flavor. I had the ahi burger, and it was cooked perfectly -- great texture, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. My wife ordered the original fish tacos, and they were outstanding.

Mother's uses good quality ingredients, no seed oils and they source local products. They work with local bakeries and shop at local farm markets. love that they as a business support local too. Counter service - order up front, get a number & wait for your food at your table :) They call your number and you pick it up. Chill but such a nice space. I've attend different events from a night market to their anniversary party, always a great time. Parking is limited, so when I can't find parking a park a few streets away but I do not mind walking.

Beach House Tacos (got grilled fish), nice pineapple salsa, tender fish, nice sauces and lettuce. Calamari Taco - fried calamari - fresh avocado and cabbage, nice sauce - chipotle. Marilu Taco with popcorn shrimp with nice chile lime crema, not too spicy. Even the fried seafood here is fresh, not very fried, just a tad, nice and crispy, but not greasy.
