Highly recommended. We went here twice during our trip to Oxnard, that's how good it is. The service was great too, the staff were very nice read more

Our family really loves this place. We love the a combination of cueritos and maciza. Sometimes there is a long line, just wait it out, it goes quickly. read more

The portion of carnitas, rice, and beans was very small, the salsa bar was dirty, and the restaurant had chairs stacked up on the tables as if it were closed. It was a very bad experience. read more

Carnitas were good, juicy. You can taste how fresh there aguas are. Horchata was bomb . Homemade tortillas were soft and warm . Good prices and great customer service read more

Carnitas Mi Rancho - Horchata with cinnamon - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

The food is okay, but this business is living in the Stone Age. It's bad enough to get charged a fee for using a credit payment, it's whole other thing for that fee to based on a percentage of what you buy. So in other words, the more you buy from them, instead of being rewarded for buying more, you are unappreciatively being charged more the more that you buy. This business needs to get with the times. Especially considering how successful it is. To be nickel-and-dimed extra fees is preposterous and discourteous. It is on those principles, that I will not return to this establishment. I dont need to eat there, I have plenty of other food options. They on the other hand, need my business, but have a real funny way of showing it. So I will take my business down the street to Carnitas El Brother, where such shenanigans are nonexistent. read more

Carnitas Mi Rancho - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

It was a busy morning but the peck that charged me for my food was rude. I was trying to order my food and he kept rushing me to the register to pay. I finally had to tell him to back off cause I wanted to order my carnitas a certain way but he still insisted. Anyway long story short aside from ordering 6lbs of Carnitas I really don't know if that's what I got but he certainly charged me for that. As for paying take cash cause they will charge $2.85 debit fee! B.S. read more

Lo malo: El que me atendio dia de hoy, 27/anri/2025 el que esta junto a la caja; no pone atencion a lo que pide uno. Le dije: 1- taco de buche, ok esta bien, pero le pedi otro de 1-taco de buche y cuero; lo cual me lo dio de pura carne y no queria de pura carne , ya me di cuenta cuando ya le habia mordido; dije ni para que hacer fila y la verguemza de llevar el taco ya mordido. Les falta que pongan mas atencion y no hacer tamto escandalo con elruido de los cuchillos porque a lo mejor no escucharon por el ruidajo. read more

Once again i gave this place a second chance and this time i spent $125.00. So i asked the person on the register if i could have some onions and cilantro. He said that he couldn't give me any and it was for sale. This place is being stingy considering i spent that much and i wasn't able to get some onions and cilantro. I think I'm done with this place!!!!!!! read more

If you are a Carnitas Foodie, this place is the real deal. The star of the show on the menu is YUMMY Carnitas (best we've had - hands down)) with side dishes of beans, rice, pico de gallo, red and green salsas, large homemade tortillas. Everything was delicious, staff very competent and friendly, they keep the huge lines moving, very clean - they even had a very competent parking attendant in the back directing traffic it was so busy. We have never seen a restaurant so packed. The tacos are huge and delicious. Trust me, you will want to go back for more - enjoy! read more

I always pass by this place on Thursday when I'm in Oxnard for work and been wanting to stop by and try it. Finally I was able try this place and let me tell you I am glad I did this place is great the carnitas are really good. Carnitas were moist juicy with so much great flavor. They gave me a small side of rice and beans I don't know if it's because I came right when they opened but the rice was so good and fresh like it was just made. Another thing I didn't expect was their hand made tortillas really good and big also. I will definitely recommend it. read more

Excellent food and service. Got some carnitas masisa family meal to go. Delicious and good portion size.

OMG: by the lb. or by the plate... the flavor is rich & savory. I had to stop ordering as i was gaining too much weight: The buche just melts in my mouth & sometimes I just order by the lb in order to make my own tacos & burritos... Yeah, this is the go to place for carnitas (buche) read more

Tried this place on a whim since I was in Oxnard for another event. So glad I did! Friendly staff, fast service, excellent food and just all around very great experience. The fatty carnitas was a little too "gelatin" for me - will probably stick with the normal carnitas going forward. But everything was still fantastic! read more

Totally worth the drive !! Really tasty and juice !! Totally recommended and good prices too ! read more

Carnitas Mi Rancho - Yummiii Carnitas !!! - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

Good Carnitas and friendly staff. Ordered 2lbs plate, should ordered 1lbs. Looks like during weekday they open 1/2 of the restaurant, from what the server said weekends have menudo. Shop decorated like a shop in Mexico, all the menu in Spanish. There really isn't a need for menu really, everyone comes here for the carnitas. read more

Paid for a TGTG package and to put it simply was ripped off by this restaurant. Advertised it as a better deal than it really was. If you don't want to honor what you advertise don't advertise it. Staff was unfriendly from the moment I walked up to the counter to the moment they handed me my food. read more

The food is amazing but I've visited 2 times during their hours of operation and they were closed. read more

Carnitas Mi Rancho - Entrance - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

The tacos were delicious and full of carnitas. We got 4 tacos and one horchata and my husband a beer total was about 35 dollars. Each taco is about 5 dollars but to be honest one taco equals about 2. Their customer service is excellent as well. The restaurant is clean and spacious and parking as well. We drove an hour to try these tacos and totally worth it. Horchata and food/tortillas were made fresh. read more

Great and authentic food for a great price. Service is fast and easy. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for some good carnitas.

Great Carnitas and ther classic options (Menudo!). Fast and friendly service! You won't be dissapointed!

Best Carnitas in town! They have hand made 8" tortillas not your average taco. I ordered the 2 tacos combo with rice and beans. They have a salsa bar for dine in only. The place is very nice on the inside and very clean. They have a wide selection of aguas frescas, bottled sodas and beer. read more

Carnitas Mi Rancho - I ordered the 2 taco combo with rice and beans. This pic shows only 1 taco because I ate the other one. Lol - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

These are the best carnitas in town. The two taco plate has so much meat I can make a second meal off of it. The service is excellent. I never feel out of place even though my Spanish is poor at its best. I've always gotten my order to go but they have plenty of room to eat in the restaurant which has nice bright color's everywhere. It's well worth waiting in line. read more

SO DELICIOUS. Basically this restaurant sells carnitas and carnitas/gnarly bits mix, and amazing tortillas. It's inexpensive, the portions are massive, and I can't wait to go back read more

Carnitas Mi Rancho - 2 taco plate....mixed carnitas y buche. SO YUMMY - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

I made a mistake and gave my rating to carnitas El Rey but I guess at they're related. This place is the best in town and probably the best I've had from LA to here. Great quality and value, you should at least try a taco there since the tortillas are fresh and the tacos are a great portion. read more

i was there for a to go order I asked for lemons and onion and cilantro but they told me that they didn't have those sides on to go orders so I could not have any of their salsa bar either that was for dine in customers only my thing is who eats carnitas without those sides they gave a small pico de gallo for 1 pound of carnitas hello sorry for that star read more

Love the carnitas and tamales not bad just sad that they didn't have flans. Service is amazing quick and gentle.

You come here for great carnitas and that's what you get. Everything is fresh, including the tortillas. The beans and rice also excellent. Grab the 1lb meal (includes tortillas, rice, beans, salsa) and an extra pint of pico de gallo and you'll have a feast for 4. read more

There are few (if any) places where you can buy carnitas by the pound in Los Angeles proper, which sucks so much! I went from living merely ten minutes away from this place to nearly an hour, meaning my trips to Carnitas El Rey are now for special occasions or desperate weekend cravings. FOOD: Carnitas Mixtas w/ Rice, Beans, and Salsa: So freaking good! Their carnitas are very tender, seasoned well, freshly chopped, and served warm. The rice and beans were standard and always a good match with the carnitas; they are also perfect with tortillas! My favorite aspect of the Carnitas Mixtas is the "Mixtas" part of it--that is, carnitas mixed with stewed tripas (intestines) and chicharron (pork skin)! LEGIT. The tripas are as tender as the carnitas, while the large slices of chicharron are soft, tender, and melt in your mouth. SERVICE: Everyone here is very friendly, and they know how to keep you coming back (besides serving you really good carnitas). The first time I went, one of the younger guys that works here hooked my family and I up with an extra container of their red salsa. During my second visit, the guy chopping the Carnitas Mixtas hooked me up with extra slices of tripas and chicharron. The dining area is nice, spacious, and festive. Long story short, I will--without a doubt--drive an hour just to buy carnitas here. I'm already planning my next trip to Oxnard. read more

This is the REAL deal!! So good it will make your tastebuds do backflips. If you're really hungry get two tacos but most people would be fine with 1.

Came here for the first time today. Let me tell you, they have the best carnitas in town. We got there around 4:30, as soon as we ordered, they ran out of carnitas. We got so lucky. Quick tip: ask for the onions, cilantro, lime and for the green and red salsa. The tacos come plain, but they provide the toppings as long as you ask. I will say, beware there is a lot of homeless in the parking lot. read more
