    My friend and I stopped at Gordos Hot Chicken for lunch which is located in the Annex at the Collection. We both had been eager to try this spot since it opened fairly recently at the annex food court and anyway is an excuse for fried chicken. There was no line so it was meant to be. You order at the electronic monitor in front of the store and it was all pretty easy to navigate. We were also impressed that the food came out pretty quickly yet all tasted super fresh. I ordered the three tender chicken plate with fried pickles and Mac & cheese. My friend ordered their loaded French fries but of course he wouldn't let me take a picture of it...Okay, let me reframe, he started eating BEFORE I could take a picture....men lol. The chicken was definitely juicy and huge pieces of white meat for the tenders. My friends loaded fries plate was gigantic so be prepared to come hungry. I'd say the chicken was really good in terms of portion size and freshness, however I personally like a little crunchier / thicker batter and the seasoning was on the mild side. The Mac and cheese was good for sure and different. I don't think I'd get the fried pickles again, small and crunchy but they don't have homemade ranch here (they just give you the packets - so that didn't seal the deal for me with the pickles). I think next time I'll try the loaded fries plate with chicken and Mac because my friend liked his meal more and a lot of people that messaged me when I posted I was at Gordos earlier recommended the fries :) They have a unique flavor profile and taste which isn't comporable to other fried chicken / hot chicken joints I've tried in the area. If you are a hot chicken connoisseur I'd be curious for your take on this spot. Overall I'm just happy we have some new and creative spots popping up at the Annex which makes this a spot for everyone to come, catering to all tastes and preferences. Always happy to try something new and wishing them much success at their newest location in the 805.

    Food came out fairly fast. Prices are a bit high. Portion size is ok The food is a bit bland. Not too flavorful. Overall it was ok. Given all the options in the collection, i would suggest looking elsewhere for great food

    Fellow yelpers , I'm from the Inland Empire and picky eater. I had seen this restaurant on instagram and decided to take a drive to Oxnard to check it out. This place did not disappoint. The staff was professional , and friendly. The menu is simple but has something for everyone. Who does not like chicken , fries and Mac n cheese? This place has a Gordos Chicken fries and they are tasty . Hookup with season fries , Mac n cheese, chicken coleslaw with bits of pineapple. It may sound weird but it's tropical and crispy in one bite. The location is nice , you can come with the family, or by your self. The scene is cool . Very nice ambiance to enjoy good food. Will be coming back. You have to check it out your self

    This spot is mid when it comes to hot chicken. I've had the GOAT aka Howlin' Ray's many times. So obviously tough to compare to that. It pales in comparison to Dave's and similar establishments. This chicken isn't even hot spicy wise and the breading is terrible. I ordered the 3 tender combo and the bottom of the tenders were soggy with no breading or crispiness. The chicken itself was tender and cooked well. That was pretty much the only highlight. The crinkle cut frozen fries are under seasoned. I can do better at home. The Mac and cheese had a decent flavor but overall nothing special. I've given those spot a couple of tries but will definitely never return. Like many Annex restaurants i doubt they will last. Hopefully the food truck survives.

    Food here is delicious! It's become mine and my husband's favorite. He loves hot chicken and we've tried other places but this place is better than all the others. The spice is perfect, perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Fries and Mac are delicious too. We will drive 30-40 minutes just to eat here. Definitely worth the drive!

    First time eating here and the food was amazing ordered a 3 tender combo and every bite was like heaven the best part is I got a free drink since I asked if it came with the combo after I payed and received my food

    The food is good. I'd say a solid 7 out of 10. The customer service is good. The service could be a bit faster but it's not terribly slow. It's a food truck so no place to eat and sit down. It's a park it & spark it type of vibe. The Cole slaw has pineapple, which is controversial but I like it. The Mac and cheese is 10x better than the fries. The fries look well seasoned but they still lack more flavor. The sandwich is over all good, I recommend the try out.

    Fries, chicken, and the so-called mac and "cheese"

    This place was GOOD before it was changed to Gordos. The chicken was insanely dry and bland. The noodles claimed to be mac and cheese but was actually a tomato cheese sauce and was mushy and over cooked. The fries were decent. They somehow managed to mess up pre-made Kings Hawaiian rolls by soaking them in butter and attempting to make them be like Texas toast. They were soggy and inedible. Gordos ruined this place.

    I ordered the 3 finger combo with regular spice level

This is a hidden international gem of a restaurant, which may take you a little time to wait if you aren't ordering ahead, but it's worth it! There is a variety of food offerings and to-go beverages, sure to satisfy almost anyone's palate. I've dined here a few times and my favorite sandwich is the Rachel** - packed with sauerkraut (gut-friendly probiotics!) & well-seasoned turkey. So delicious. And it came with a tasty side salad. You can also choose fries as a side or tater tots, for an up charge - both satisfying options, IMO! Dining vibe is low-key and spacious for small groups and the restaurant is kept very clean, with festive touches. I'd recommend going 'old fashioned', skipping the order ahead/apps or delivery and mindfully enjoying a meal to close out 2025 - it's the perfect spot to do it and support small business. Pro-Tip: Don't skip dessert! I've tried the cream horn, but also eyeing both the German Chocolate and Tres Leches cake, which were recommended by some fellow diners on my last visit. **On a throwback note, to me "The Rachel" is a chic & trendy haircut from the 1990s, but here we are in the 2020s, and it's a delicious sandwich - haha! Both are classics to me :)

Friendly efficient staff greeting all who walk through their door. Sandwiches were incredible, no skimping on Boars Head meats or ingredients and you get your moneys worth. Has some sit down dining inside but a great place to order ahead and pick up while you head to the beach. This is a must try and can't wait to go back and try some of the other great sanqweeches featured on the menu. Grazie Ventura Sandwich Co delizioso e tutti! Mangiamo

I clearly Said who I was with the first time, and I clearly stated what was ordered. The second time two days after , i tried the ham because it had a bad review the last time I came in. I wanted to try it, and give you the benefit of the doubt... so much for that, I mean how hard is it to screw up a boarshead meat sandwich? . Based on the 3 meat sandwiches last time, and the ones I saw being eaten while we were there, it definitely wasn't the usual meat. Or WAS IT???. BUT I EVEN took a picture of it. Just in case you came back and got rude in your response like you have in the past when you don't like when others don't leave you a good review. . We even came back in TODAY and wanted to give it ONE LAST TRY and so i ordered a hot Italian and it was LACKING meat and any flavor, the sandwich is literally the smallest SUB i have had in 37 years! . so Now. I will leave this a solid zero review.. So everyone can see what type of company you genuinely run... And you're the one who hires the staff, so any issues with customer service, food orep or Cleanliness is solely on the management

    BEST. CAESAR. SALAD. EVER!!!…read more Seriously, though, I've had their sandwiches here and while I haven't been a big fan of them, I have enjoyed their salads more. My favorite has been a classic Caesar salad made with grilled chicken Their Caesar salad, in my opinion, is better than the one at Lure's or even Social Tap. Service is great and swift, in my opinion. I've been here more than 10 times (I work nearby). I've taken my 15 minute breaks to order and it won't even be 10 minutes before my order is ready (every order is different and takes their own time to make). If you eat inside, it doesn't look as welcoming and comfortable, but my understanding is that the place looks like that maybe because the food is cheaper than most places. If the food is sold at a really affordable price, then some of the money from those sales can't go to operational costs because there's not enough, then I can understand and respect that. I'd rather eat food sold at a not-so good looking place than spend over the average cost of food just to eat at a place that has a renovated dining area. All the workers have been really nice to me, so I do appreciate that. I'll be back again for another salad soon

    Any time I see a Reuben sandwich on a menu, I'm in. That's exactly what I ordered, and it was…read more.. not bad. First off, the pastrami was super tender, had a good smoky edge to it, and was sliced thin enough to soak up the flavor from everything else going on. The Swiss cheese was melted all the way through, dripping over the sides, and the thousand island dressing brought it all together. The sauerkraut had just enough tang without being overpowering, and the bread was grilled nice and golden, held up well without getting soggy. For $13, they definitely could've been more generous with the meat and fillings. If they had just doubled everything, it could've been killer. But it still worked. The place itself isn't winning any awards for cleanliness or style, but for a quick one-time stop, I wasn't mad about it. If you're into Reubens, this one's worth a try. Just know it leans more toward decent than stacked.

    Eddie's Grill Restaurant Review…read more I recently stopped by Eddie's Grill and had a great breakfast. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros, which featured a perfectly crispy tortilla at the bottom. I also added a side of guacamole and paired the meal with a refreshing mango smoothie. The Highlights: * The Potatoes: These were easily the star of the plate--absolutely amazing and perfectly seasoned. * The Huevos Rancheros: Very delicious, though it is worth noting the sauce had a bit of a spicy kick! * Customization: The meal usually comes with beans, but I opted to skip those this time. * The Smoothie: The mango smoothie was a delicious and bright accompaniment to the savory eggs. One Small Note: The only downside was the condiment setup. While mustard, mayo, and ketchup are conveniently located on the table in a wooden caddy, you have to get up and grab salt and pepper packets from the station by the soda machine if you need them. Overall: A very tasty spot for breakfast in Ventura. The food is fresh and flavorful!
