    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.

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

    3 finger combo with double fries

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    Update: I haven't gone back yet but the owner reached out in such a professional and amazing manner that I had to up them one star. They apologized for having someone new at the register that night and invited me back to try again. I don't live close enough to go asap but I'm definitely willing to give them another shot. Sounds like they made a lot of changes in the past year.

    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 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 !

Authentic Chinese food, Beijing pies, dumplings and more ! It's an old building ... est since 1929 I believe. So old decor , nothing fancy and there are stairs to climb. We had red Mongolian Beef and General tso. Mongolian beef had a lot of veggies but beef was tender. Tso was crunchy. The restaurant was pretty empty . I think a lot of people grab to go because we were the only guests for the longest. The chef came out and didn't speak much English but was so excited to let us know he was happy to cook for us. Free soda if you pay with cash. We had cash and our dishes were about $16 . We left tip. Parking can be difficult.
