GETTING HERE:…read more Located in DTVTA on Main Street, between E.P. Foster Library and Starbucks. Parking is, well, if you know you know. :( REVIEW: This is a great little restaurant and I prioritize coming here every time I am in DTVTA. Recently, I was at the Rubicon Theatre and needed lunch after a show. This location is located within walking distance of the Rubicon and is usually so busy each time I come! My marker of a good place to eat is usually on how busy they are. :) This recent visit I had a torta (my first, didn't catch the name) and it was outstanding! The meat was fresh and hot and the bun was flavorful! I did note that on my next visit here I want to try the Hawaiian (?) torta! Can't wait to be back! The service is always great each time. Thank you to the ladies who are friendly and respectful and greeted us (and all the customers) with a smile. Thank you so much! Definitely recommend!

This is one of the newer Cuernavacas, after the initial location on the Avenue and one in Oxnard,…read morewhere Marshalls and Daiso are located. I've eaten at 3 of their locations, and perhaps this location may be slightly more geared to 'gringo' tastes. I had their breakfast burrito, and unlike most other tacquerias, they give you a lot of nice melted cheese. The beans didn't taste as salty or flavorful as some other taco places. But overall, very satisfying, just didn't have that fully tacqueria taste. I have really enjoyed their veggie Papas and rajas tacos at the Avenue location. This may be the best tacqueria for vegetarians, more options. Staff here tends to be younger (college ages), and generally very friendly. I actually sometimes just stop in for their Horchata. It's not homemade (as that is a very difficult drink to make!) but I find it satisfying. In general all the prices here are reasonable, less than some other places that are charging 15-17 for burritos. This is a strong recommendation if you are downtown and craving casual Mexican eats!

What a nice surprise. Got the guac, flautas (with the side of mole for two bucks), and taquitos. Everything was well made and tasted great. And for the price it made it even better. Parking was easy since it's off the main drag and I'd recommend getting over there to try it.

My family and I visited this place for happy hour. We were happy to finally make it here, as it had…read morebeen on my list of must-try places for years. The happy hour menu offered some great options. We decided to go with the fiesta platter, which included taquitos, flautas, empanadas, and nachos. Each item was delicious and perfectly cooked. I also had a margarita, which was just right with the perfect amount of tequila. The service was excellent, and we were seated outside, but the interior looked inviting. Overall, it was a fantastic place to enjoy happy hour.

First off, I wanna say that these are the most moist and tender tamales I've ever had. EVER. I…read moreordered the pork tamales. The meat was tender in that pork belly kind of way. They were full of wonderful and delicate flavor! Seriously, these tamales are dreamy! That's saying a lot considering I grew up eating tamales and even making tamales with family. These tamales are super authentic, like tasting Mexico. I also ordered the champurrado. It was wonderfully made: delicate chocolate flavor, with hints of cinnamon. Unlike some other champurrados I've had, this wasn't grainy but velvety smooth. It's made in house just like their tamales--not from a mix. And, like others mentioned in other reviews, the folks here are very sweet and they go the extra mile! Definitely my go-to for tamales and champurrado in Ventura!

I ordered my takeout from the counter and it was ready for me in less than 10 monutes. Unfortunately, my tamales were dry. I must have caught them on an off day because their reviews are outstanding. The rice and beans were tasty but was not memorable. I thought the price was reasonable. I'll try again sometime in the future. They have a great breakfast menu and would like to try their menudo on weekends.

One would never guess what is behind the simple Rumfish signage at the end of Main on Palm. My…read morefirst trip was years ago and I've been back several times since. It is great for any special occasion and offers inside and outside dining. I suggested this restaurant to my out of town guests to celebrate my dear friend's birthday. Rumfish did not disappoint. The Spring weather is beautiful in Ventura so we sat outside. Service is prompt and casual. It was crowded even on a Thursday evening, but the outdoor area is spacious. Everything from appetizers to dessert is fresh and first class. Seafood options are plentiful and seasoned perfectly. The only downside is that parking is limited - only one handicapped spot for two busy restaurants. No parking signs prevent street parking up Palm.

Rumfish y Vino for Mother's Day…read more We made a reservation a week before and only had to wait about 10 minutes past our time, which honestly was not bad for such a busy day. The restaurant has a really cute Mediterranean/Italian vibe with gorgeous lemon trees and comfy patio seating. It was chilly outside, but the heaters made it comfortable. Staff was friendly, just very busy because of the holiday. Food took around an hour, but understandable for Mother's Day. The food was excellent. I got the flatbread with apricot jam and bacon, and it was such a good mix of sweet and savory with fresh arugula on top. Definitely recommend it. My boyfriend got the wagyu burger medium with fries and everything was cooked perfectly and served hot. Other people at our table got shrimp and corn, fish tacos, and burgers, and everything looked really good. Great place, will come back

Our first visit to Mother's Tacos was an absolute delight, and I can't wait to return for more! The…read moretacos here are truly authentic, as if their own mother made them. Let's talk about the drinks. The Lemon Drop with Vodka was an amazing choice. The Old Fashioned was good too, but it was a bit too strong for my taste. The Horchata was decent, but I've had better. Now, let's talk about the food. The Mulita is the star of the show! I personally loved their Asada Mulita. It was rich and full of flavor. On weekends, you can also order Off Cuts like Tripa, Cabeza, and Lengua. My wife raved about the Cabeza Mulita, saying it was amazing! We also tried three types of tacos: Pastor, Asada, and Apollo. All three were delicious, but here's how I ranked them in order of taste: 1) Asada - Amazing tender flavor 2) Chicken - Very tender 3) Pastor - I'm a huge pastor fan, but while delicious, the other two tacos beat it to third place. By the way, my wife and daughter were raving about their grilled fish tacos. They believe these are the best tacos on the menu because of their amazing flavor. The fresh salsas are also very delicious. They're all great, so try them all with your tacos. And the knockout punch comes when you try their Elote (grilled corn on the cob). This is an OMG off the charts FULL of FLAVOR treat. I highly recommend having at least one as part of your meal. You won't be disappointed.
