    Carne Asada Burrito cut in half
    Robin W.

    Small family run restaurant worth seeking out!! I've heard good things about the Burritos at Jesse's and finally decided tonight was the night to try it. The family behind the cash register and flattop are so friendly and seem to know most of the customers. You can tell the food is made with love judging from the line of people waiting. I ordered 2 burritos to go, one being the Asada burrito because of the rave reviews -did not disappoint! When I got home, I saw how big the burrito was so my hubby and I split it, saving the chicken burrito for tomorrow. The green salsa is bomb and the flavors are so good! Saved Chicken burrito for lunch and cut into it, -check out all the clean meat inside wrapped with rice, beans, onions and cilantro. Just the way I like it! Jesse's is small but an efficient use of space with limited indoor seating. I will definitely recommend and keep on rotation!!

    Carne asada
    Myra C.

    Great soft tacos and burritos. It's a small mom and pop shop in an old downtown Oxnard building. Nothing fancy. You order, sit and eat. For something different try the chicharon taco. It's spicy and seemed to be marinated prior. Pretty good carne asada. The carnitas are ok, the meat a bit too soggy for my liking. Overall, an excellent place to great food.

    "Al Pastor fries", aka Bean fries!
    Pättÿ B.

    Ordered Al Pastor fries, received bean fries. When I received the plate it was very heavy, once I opened it I then saw how many toppings it had on top. After eating up some fries all I tasted was the beans, I moved around the top and found bits of Al Pastor but hardly any. The picture on instagram and the one posted on here as a review show nothing compared to what I received not even close. The beans overpowered any flavor these fries could have had. The green you see is not the guacamole but the green salsa I asked on the side. Would I give them a try again? Probably not, I hate wasting money when I have been disappointed before. For reference on the pic I took I never moved anything around to begin with so this is exactly how I received my plate minus the green salsa I put before eating.

    Got a chill relleno burrito. Ask for no onions and cilantro. It look very unappealing and the chile was cut in pieces with cold cheese

    Best Burritos in Town!....

    Honestly I been to a lot of burritos spots, but Jesse's El Taco De Mexico has been consistent with their quality and service. Just a small business and shop but Wow on there Food. Thanks Jesse! See you all soon...

    Asada Burrito
    Gabe C.

    Fast service! Simple! Nothing glitzy or glamorous about this place but it's a classic Mexican restaurant that get never disappoints. Asada burritos + horchata go crazy.

    Asada fries and tacos
    Kristen L.

    Delicious, affordable tacos. Usually when I order chicken it's dried out but their chicken was super moist! Had the asada fries, so unique! There was a long wait so you know that's a good sign!

    Carne asada fries - highly recommend
    Nina R.

    Ah, another hole in the wall spot! These types of places hold so much promise, and I find that they often have the best food. We'd heard that the carne asada fries are the best bet here, so that's what we ordered. They were indeed excellent. A layer of fries topped with asada and cheese and sour cream and guac and pico ... it was heavenly. It was also very rich and very filling, so it took 6 of us to polish it off, but polish it off we did! Lost one star because seating was a bit of a mess and the tables were dirty.

    Great burrito place, I love their breakfast burritos. Quick service but it does get packed.

    Michael C.

    I recently seen a video on their instagram page of someone making a good looking burrito. It was breakfast time so I decided to go try it out. Not gonna lie. The burrito was better than I expected it to be. It comes with chilaquiles, beans and eggs done your way, but I add asada which was an extra charge. I think I found my new breakfast favorite. The service was very good and helpful. The location is small and convenient for pickup or even if you and a friend want to grab a quick bite to eat. The ambiance passes the vibe check. I recommend giving it a go.

    A place recommended by a contractor who fixed our windows in Oxnard California. The man claims this…read moreis the best Mexican birria he's ever had in his life. With that being said, I wanted to try it out. This was about 2 years ago prior to this visit I had today at this location. I jotted the note down after overhearing him talking about it while watching Netflix. When arriving, the environment outside is run down, old fashioned and in the scary graffiti, homeless surrounding. Parking is difficult to find, but we got lucky me and a colleague. The place is on a road side where parking it located a few streets between about 100 feet away. The surrounding had graffiti and loitering which was unpleasant and I would imagine it is worse at night, be careful here! Inside, a wonderful aroma excites you as you enter the restaurant. Booths all around and hard uncomfortable seats. A lot of people came here today on Sunday afternoon. Customer service was excellent, the guy at the front was very chill, polite and acted as if I was his homie, buddy or good friend. This is what I like. I ordered the birria of course, a meat drenched in a bunch of flavors for days to keep the meat juicy, tender and moist. The variations ordered were three tacos plate with birria, onions cilantro and a consome that was massive. This meal was $17. The other order was a four piece birria quesadilla that was absolutely delightful, succulent and had a delicious hunger craving aroma and flavor that any starving or hungry person would die for! This plate was $14. The tacos did come with beans and rice. Between the two dishes the birria quesadilla was my favorite however, the tacos tasted better. The tortilla of the tacos was fresh and made with love. The value was regular, something I expected compared to taco trucks and side vendors of Mexican food. This place is extraordinary. I felt guilty after consumption because it was fatty, juicy and everything you would want in a pleasurable meal, but it was heavy on the calories and filling. It was a messy meal, I added salsas, more seasoning from the condiments bar. There were so many different sauces and fillings like lemon etc. to balance the flavors of the birria. The console incuded was an added kick that I loved. Definitely one of the best if not the best birria I ever had and I highly recommend this place if you like Mexican cuisine at its finest. An absolute hidden treasure that you need to try! I'll come back after a month of consistent cardio and strength training to burn enough fat and make room for another appetite that soothes my brain cells.

    It was my first time trying this spot out but it won't be my last visit. Yes, parking was a little…read morechallenging but worth it. Place isn't too big inside and it was packed when we went on a Saturday afternoon. I was for sure going to get the nachos and tacos but wanted more. Jesus was kind enough to recommend the grilled cheese and burrito. Both were great recs and delish! I mean I thought about the grilled cheese and burrito days after. The horchata was creamy and you could tell it was made in house. This place is delish, no notes.

I went there for lunch on a weekday, and I was pretty pleased with the service and food. The woman at the counter did speak English so that's always feels more comfortable, especially if you have any special requests. They have an open kitchen where they assemble orders, and the cook was rather friendly. I ordered a roasted pork burrito (I can't remember the name, but it's not carnitas). The meat was tender and tasted like it was slow cooked. The tortilla is not anything special, but all the fillings (rice, beans) were good. There is larger rice than beans ratio, but they give plenty of meat protein. I have been here several times in the past. I remember totally ratchet seating areas, where there were large holes in the floor. There seems to be some updates and the seating area is cleaned up (but I've only done takeout). They now also accept credit cards. For a low cost burrito, this is satisfying. Most burritos are ~ 10.
