    Pulled Pork Plate
    Jaz M.

    Huge Texas style bbq fan here so had to check them out. Stopped by for dinner on a Friday night at 4:30 pm and this joint was empty. Location is a bit funky, in a buisness district area but easy to find. Walked right in where we noticed they had two little dinning areas and you walk up and order at their Dutch door. Spent $40 bucks on a tri tip sandwich with potato salad on the side and also a shredded pork plate with coleslaw and Mac and cheese. The meat was very smoky, like liquid smoke taste. Portions of meat were very small and aside from the smoke the meats did not have much flavor. Both meals had puddle of oil at the bottom of each plate. The sides were all ok, needed more flavor. Coleslaw wasn't fresh. Overall, if you do come here probably try something else? For $40 bucks we barely ate our food as the smoke was so overpowering. We are huge bbq fans so we we're a bit dissapointed with our experience today. But it was good to check out a local buisness and I reccomend that you try them for yourself and make your own judgement, be safe out there folks!

    World Famous Tri Tip Sandwich
    Harold S.

    I thought this place had great food. However, its not at all your typical restaurant. It does not have a restaurant ambience. It's located in an office park and you order from a window inside that's cut out from a door leading to the kitchen in the back. They have a few tables inside and also some outdoor tables for dining there. However, I did feel this place seems much more amenable for take out to me. The lady taking my order was very friendly and courteous, and I really enjoyed the food. I ordered the "World Famous Tri Tip Sandwich", which comes with a choice of one side. The sandwich was large and the cole slaw which I chose was also great.

    Great places I wanted to try in Oxnard. It is unassuming and I love that but the big fat smoker outside says it all. Brisket had good bark and taste. Ribs weee a perfect competition style cook. Great seasoning, no sauce needed. Pulled pork was moist but not wet, hate she. It's wet Service was fast and super friendly. Great place to checkout out, enjoy

    Brisket Plate

    It's in the sauce BBQ has some of the best BBQ in town. The flavor of the BBQ sauces are incredible, the brisket is tasty, and the sides go together perfectly. The owners are super friendly and passionate about their food. Definitely check it out if you want to get some good southern BBQ around Ventura county.

    Kind of a hidden location, but it didn't stop them from having very consistent foot traffic during lunchtime on a typical Thursday. Their smoker, The Beast, was sitting outside greeting all that comes in. Pricing is on good deal side compared to other BBQ places. I got half a rack of baby backs, a side, and an apple cobbler for $29. Sauce comes in regular and spicy. Their menu is extensive. They have a very large kitchen. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Plenty of parking. Good service. Please come and create your one experience.

    Best bbq in the world, peach cobbler was amazing so much flavor and the punch amazing will come again!!!

    Best bbq in the world , amazing peach cobbler so much flavor it melts in your mouth, will come here again!!!

    Best tacos I've had in a GOOD while! I have no notes for Tacos El Oro. I came upon their taco truck…read moreon a recommendation and so glad we found them. 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. Both were so good and added the perfect flavor to their already delicious tacos. I honestly can't wait to go back and try other food options. It's worth the drive from Ventura!

Wasn't busy at all so I figured I would be getting my meal soon. Good menu with very reasonable prices . 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!

Check them out. http://www.cousinsmainelobster.com/ Now I did try the Grill-Cheese truck, I'm not sure what they were called, I just wanted to try them because of the size of the line, I figured they have to be amazing grilled cheeses. NOPE! Mediocre at best. I can't believe I spent over an hour waiting for one of these things. 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.

    Takumi Teppanyaki is an Oxnard food truck serving up some authentic Japanese Teppan plates like…read moreyou'd find at a Benihana. Prices are a bit less, ranging from $19 for Teppan Chicken with rice or a Yaki Soba (noodles) Chicken. We shared their pricier (but very delicious) Takumi Combo at $29 with choice of 2: (real filet mignon, chicken, Korean BBQ, shrimp, scallops, salmon) with fresh Teppan vegetables and rice. The order was big enough to share with two of us. Takumi only opens late afternoon until 10 pm. You can also order ahead of time via meal delivery apps like GrubHub. We highly suggest going since there are no Teppan restaurants in the immediate Oxnard or Port Hueneme area, and this food truck is surprisingly very authentic... minus the theatrical antics of a Benihana Teppan chef (which I can do without).

    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.

    Found Taco Sisters on Yelp and decided to give it a try because my normal spot (Tacos La Bonita)…read morewas closed. The truck is right past 8th street off Oxnard Blvd going north. There is a parking lot that you can turn into. For about $28, we got four tacos (3 asada and 1 al pastor), an asada quesadilla, a volcan (crispy corn fried tortilla with pastor and cheese) and a caramelo (corn/flour tortilla with asada and cheese). The corn/flour tortillas were so tasty. I'm assuming they're made by hand. The pastor was good but not memorable. The asada was perfectly seasoned, tender and delicious. Everything was perfectly cooked medium- a lot of taco trucks I've tried overcook their meat and it becomes dry and loses flavor. My wife added the sautéed onions and green salsa to her plain tacos and it gave her that crunch that she was looking for to round out her meal. The best thing that I ate was the caramelo. It is must try if you like cheese. Staff was very friendly and they offered consommé for free with your food. We will definitely be back!
