    Gordo sliders to go
    Emiliano N.

    Both for takeout and dine in they don't miss even if they are 20 orders in from getting your food out. The presentation is always well portioned and clean even with all the sauce. Definitely recommend the hot level for the food because it has a good flavor with a very small amount of spice.

    Loaded fries.  We split one and could not finish all the mac and the fries.

    I don't know - more like 3.5. We split loaded fries with mac'n'cheese, fries, slaw, topped with diced chicken. We thought the chicken (medium spice) was pretty good, but there too much sauce over everything. Slaw was good, fries and mac good also. But not temperature hot. I noticed everything was already prepared and sitting in/under warmers when we got there just past 12:00 opening. I'd go back, but next time just get the strips and 1 side, separate. Hold the extra sauce, please. One big plus? Take it over the beer place (I call it a beer garden but it's not). Good variety of ice cold drafts.

    Wow! The food was so good! The flavor was the hot/regular. we really enjoyed our meal. Great portion on the chicken. We will be back.

    Gordo Fries (no coleslaw from food truck)

    Honestly, the food trucks service and food is really good. The portions are amazing and the food is always warm and seasoned to perfection. Unfortunately I decided to try the Annex location at The Collection and it was awful. The staff wasn't the best and neither were the cooks. My food was cold when it came out, mind you it took like 5 mins to get my food out which could only mean that they just have the food laying out there unlike the food trucks which cook it fresh. The portions were also mediocre. It was half empty with a couple scraps of chicken. They should hire people who actually care about the customers and respect the food they're preparing. If you want the real experience I highly recommend to go to one of the food trucks where the guys actually take care of you and have your order ready and to perfection!!

    Mac n Cheese
    TheFoodieReviewer C.

    I dined at the new location at the Collections - The Annex - in Oxnard. The fried Pickles were too salty! The Mac-n-Cheese reminded me of a regular pasta dish that had too much oregano in the cheese. Too much cream that lacked the cheese flavor. The chicken sandwich was disappointing because I think I bit more into the batter that lacked the actual chicken. The only thing I liked was the dipping sauce. In my opinion, I prefer Dave's Hot Chicken over Gordos anytime!

    Fried pickles

    Heard a lot about this place & they finally opened a location at the collection so decided to try some items from their menu. Food came out pretty quick. I ordered the mac n cheese & fried pickles. Mac n cheese was okay looks better in pictures, noodles were cooked a little too much so it was a little soggy. Super sad about the fried pickles, not sure if they're supposed to be this crunchy but it was basically a batter chip and oil. Maybe i'll give it another try, their chicken or something they're known well for.

    Got the hot sandwich special with all sides and it was truly delicious, love it and hope they keep up the great work!

    This place has to be probably the best hot chicken in Ventura county and the best part? It's on wheels I frequent Gordos when I'm in the mood for chicken and all I can say is this place never misses. Their chicken is always juicy and seasoned just right. Their sandwiches are crafted perfectly with a twist by using kings Hawaiian roll instead of a regular Brioche bun like traditional hot chicken. The sweet and savory, spicy mess creates a flavor bomb in your mouth. Paired with a cajun seasoned Mac and cheese and saucy slaw it's really unbeaten for a great price. The service is always top notch and simple with an easy to read menu. My only issue is they're at the very end of channel island blvd, (I wish it was a little closer to the river park area) so just be ready for a drive. But it is hands down the best hot chicken this side of the county!

    The coleslaw was amazing! I wish they would add more of it. The mac definitely had more of Italian pasta style, not your average Mac and cheese. Concerning the sandwich it was a bit cold. The taste was average, it wasn't anything I haven't had before. This place is good but I don't believe I'd return again. The parking situation is pretty convenient.

    This food truck is FIRE All the stages of HOT . Packed with this killer mac'n cheese! Service was fast, but there was a long line. I'm probably going to pre-order next time. The truck is filled with cool stickers from all over the place, pretty cool. I put one of my own. I

    This is definitely one of my favorite foods spots in Oxnard!!! The chicken is juicy, the Mac and cheese is also very good and all the workers are very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend if you're in the area :) the vibe of the place is very hip and trendy yet warm and homie i love the ambiance, I've been to all the food trucks but the collection is nice aswell

    This is their sandwich combo that comes with Mac and fries

    This is a review for their new annex location in the collection in Oxnard it was my first time trying gordos I was really excited and was not disappointed they were quite busy but surprisingly we got our food fast the chicken was cooked perfectly their coleslaw was delicious with the right hint of sweetness very unique the only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is because I feel like chicken needed a bit more spicy to it and even tho the Mac and cheese was amazing in flavor the texture was a bit too mushy for my liking but I will definitely be back !

    Burnt bun

    Where do I begin I was hyped to try this place, I have been talking about this place for a while and I finally had the chance from all the hype on instagram to try it. After finally getting this for dinner. I was extremely disappointed like bad. I ordered a side of fries well done, they were soggy And tbh the fries were kinda undercooked .Then I got the Combo #1 and wow super soggy not even warm what's so ever. The buns were extremely burnt and cold I had to pick some of the burnt parts off to enjoy it , The Mac and cheese was cold. I paid for extra ranch and extra sauce didn't get it. I legit had no dipping sauce for none of my meal. I heard they give you honey for the sliders , didn't get that either. This place really was disappointing. I would love to give it another try but tbh don't think I will nor will I recommend this place to anyone. For a side of fries and combo #1 and the extra sauces that I didn't get I paid $26. Complete waste. Ended up eating cereal.

Located inside a car business parking lot, you can find the taco truck serving up delicious options. We went traditional and got tacos. Asada, Al pastor, suadero, and birria. All were deliciously marinated and cooked to perfection. And what's not to love about a hand made tortilla?! The perfect touch! The cashier was friendly and even brought our food out to the two little tables they have set up. She walked over with a bottle of their green and red salsas.

I got an Al pastor burrito for $12 bucks where I asked if I could please get extra lemons with my order. The gentlemen up front said no problem where I proceeded to wait for another 10 minutes until my burrito was ready. Once my number was called I walked up and asked the same person if there was extra lemons with my order. The gentleman responded yes and salsas. Well once I got home i discovered there was no lemons it all with my order. I need lemon with my food so this caused for me to now have to make another run out after getting home. This service was very dissappointing. If they could at least be honest and tell me there is none would be much more appreciated than being lied too. The burrito was ok. Not really worth the hassle of this experience. With many trucks in the area just make sure to consider this experience. Stay safe out there folks, till next time!

I don't even eat cheese and I made an exception this time because I thought I was going to try the best grilled cheese sandwich ever! Sadly it was just a plain white bread with a few types of cheese not even melted all the way. YUCK! Anyways, they did have tons of other trucks there and it is a definite must go for everyone that loves all types of food.

We probably wouldn't have dropped by it if someone hadn't told us about it. The staff was kind, friendly, and gave suggestions when we asked questions about the various meat options. The cash register is right straight in as you walk in. There are communal benches outside and a few high top tables inside, but the restaurant seemed to get a lot of pick up orders. Food came out within 5 minutes on a Saturday at lunch, which I was weary about since it's BBQ - but everything ended up still being hot and juicy. We ended up going with the 3-meat plate for about $30 total. It was enough for 2 people (or 1 really hungry person!). We ordered the brisket, burnt ends, and hot links which came with garlic bread and two sides of our choice - the star of the show was for sure the burnt ends, which were juicy and deeply flavorful. The brisket was moist, which I feel like is hard to find, but I do wish it had more flavor. The hot links were also good but didn't have much nuance either. Next time, we'll definitely save room to try some dessert, which was only $5! If you're in the area, definitely check this place out!

They're "Los Dos Carnales" now, same spot though.

    When I first found this place I went out of my way to encourage the owner to advertise on Yelp…read more They used to not have a page on Yelp and their only source of advertising was local pages on Facebook. I wanted to tell people about it because I really enjoyed my food and their service was really homey and inviting. Everything from their free consommé to their delicious Sonora style combinations was very tasty. Fast forward to now, they now have a yelp page and the owner is doing a great job advertising her business on various platforms. The problem now, is that I strongly believe that their quality has gone down since they first opened. For any new restaurant to survive, they must not only serve good tasting food but, probably most importantly they need to hace consistency. Some of the things I feel have suffered is: Their free consommé, yes I get it it is free and I shouldn't complain but, come on, if you are givings your clients any food or drink it better represent your business well. The other things is the flavor of their meats. The pastor and asada have been tasting bland and flavorless. Guys please just take you time and do it right. Please don't cut corners when it leads to food taste and quality problems. Overall, I really hope they survive during the pandemic and I do hope that they heed my advice on the food that I gave them the last time I was there. They are really nice and hardworking people and I think if they just improve some things in their food truck, they can continue to succeed.
