I recently tried out El Cocinero's food at an event that they catered to. As a person who eats meat and is not restricted, I would come here for the good food. The vegan al pastor had chunks of pineapple and it is seasoned and cooked to taste just like the meat version. The texture is just a little bit different but it does resemble a lot like meat. The vegan pastor also tastes just like the meat version, just less "smoky" and the texture is softer. The rice is flavorful and fluffy. The beans are seasoned just enough to have flavor but not compete with the other dishes. The creamy chipotle sauce was perfect topping the rice and beans. I do like vegan food but the only reference I had with Mexican vegan are places that try to add fake cheese and lean heavily on beans and rice. This business shows that you can still have all the flavors and not rely on cheese and meat. They focus on the flavors and not what would make non-vegans feel comfortable. Initially, I was going to give this first time experience a 4 star review so that it encourages me to go check out the restaurant so I can add the service and the ambiance. However, I was lucky enough to bring home leftovers and as I was eating it, the food tastes better. Had to add the extra star!

Literally the perfect fragrant broth and the meat substitutes they use have an amazing texture. The coffee that I got was huge and I loved the coconut cream flavor.

I was craving curry so I got the TKO curry duck soup. (yellow curry powder mixed with red curry paste cooked in coconut milk broth with gluten duck, mushroom, rice noodles, black & white sesame seeds, green onion, peanuts, and cilantro.) The owner asked if my friend was hungry. He said yes and that he's allergic to peanuts. The owner put in an order for him. I believe my friend's order was a combination of duck and fried dumplings with fried rice and chow mein. We also ordered Chinese donuts to share. Food was delicious as usual. A big fan of this spot. There's one gender neutral restroom in the back. Located in a very small lot with compact spaces. Larger cars please park on the street the spaces are small enough.

    Oh O'CADO, what a wonderful discovery you were, thanks to my friend Liz on Yelp!…read more As a carnivore, I LOVE all kinds of meats and proteins! With that being said, I am also open to trying new things whenever I can, and occasionally I like to try vegan/vegetarian restaurants. O'CADO was absolutely FANTASTIC! I can't say it enough: FRESH, FRESH, FRESH! Every single item we got (and we got quite a few) was so fresh, scrumptious, delicious, flavorful, and TASTY! Honestly, everything was prepared so well that if I didn't know I wasn't eating real meat, I couldn't tell the difference. THAT'S how good this place is. The portion sizes are also pretty big and appropriate for the price. We actually took advantage of their Happy Hour Menu so we could sample more things. We walked in with my son yesterday, 9/2, around 3:30pm after parking at a nearby meter since there's no parking. As we walked in, we were greeted by Jose and his kind smile/friendly vibe. He got us situated at one of their patio tables and gave us some time to look at the menu. Once we got our thoughts together, he took our order and checked on us at least three times. Will, later came to take away the dirty dishes, glasses, utensils and napkins. He was also very helpful with a nice smile. We had water for the table but I decided to try their Sangria, which was very good. My son tried the Strawberry Margarita and said it was delicious. For appetizers, we got the Balsamic Brussels Sprouts, Avocado Toast, and Buffalo Cauliflower. Every single item was just OUTSTANDING! The Brussels sprouts were nicely charred but not overcooked. The balsamic brought a nice sweetness to them. The cauliflower was fried to perfection and stayed crispy through the whole meal. The avocado toast was also great and had a nice contrast of textures on it. Great start to the meal! For entrées, we got the Carne Asada Tacos (side order of House Slaw), Grilled "Chicken" Caesar Wrap (side order of Chili Cheese Fries) and the Thai Peanut Crunch Bowl. Again, every item was beyond delicious and FRESH. We kept saying "wow" with every bite because we were enjoying it that much! We also couldn't believe how much it tasted like real meat in the tacos. So juicy, flavorful, and again...FRESH! They had a few dessert options, but we were too full. The place was spotless clean and had a few other people dining there. They also do to-go orders and third party apps. One gender neutral bathroom, which we didn't need to use. I highly recommend trying this place, especially if you are a skeptical meat-eater. You should give it a chance and allow your palate/taste buds to explore. You might be surprised by how much you like it. Thank you Jose for great service and the O'CADO team for such a lovely lunch! 20/10!!

    I was listening to Jamila Robinson, Editor in Chief of Bon Appetit this morning. They are out with…read moretheir best restaurants issue right now, and she was asked, what is the secret to restaurant success. Her answer really made me think: "Vision and delicious food". That's it! These may be hard times for hospitality in general but so many places are thriving anyway because someone at the helm knows about vision and food. Always on the lookout for something new and different, serving a fair amount of vegetarian and vegan dishes that are delicious, I somehow found Ocado. You have to look to find a place like this, unless you live in the neighborhood. The menu is staggering. Every single item is vegan, but unless someone tells you that, you wouldn't know by eating there. This is a place especially for two categories of people: committed vegans or meat-lovers who want to make the switch. I am in neither category. I am a lifelong vegetarian who has never liked the taste of animal meats. So, I appreciated and enjoyed Ocado even though I had to search the deep menu for things that did not include simulated pork, chicken or beef. Those things are there and the ones I chose were excellent. This is a small place. It is crowded most of the time, which must mean something is being done right, no? It is mostly clean, simple, but with little extras like the movie we could watch (Three Men and A Baby), the tinkling fountain, and hefty silverware, glassware, plates and napkins. The service was attentive and friendly. Parking is easy if you go to the corner and choose one of the Public garages for a very low fee. There is also metered parking that is just a matter of luck and timing. If you go at 3 pm on a Sunday, you will have no problem parking or being seated. We chose to eat at the bar and it was vey convenient. All that is very positive. The owner of Ocado and the chef (maybe one and the same, I don't know) had vision and knows how to make everything, and I mean every single item, delicious. For example, there are sauces and cheeses that are completely plant-based. I rarely have those and these were exceptional. Delicious and surprisingly so. There is one small drawback and it is personal. This stretch of Ventura is not the cleanest, best-smelling, or prettiest. I wish it were. A few blocks east and the environment is much nicer. But, this is where Ocado lives and is doing well, from everything I could see there, with a steady stream of patrons, and great reviews. This kind of food is the future. We are not going to return to barbarian times when we had to hit an animal over the head to get protein and then doctor it up to make it palatable. No meat based dish could possibly rival the ones we had at Ocado and that is a good sign for the progress the culinary arts are making and inevitably will continue to make as they recognize their environmental responsibility. Trust me. If you want to be ahead of the curve, and healthier, you have to see what is possible at the visionary Ocado.
