    Dinner for 2
    Adan R.

    Brought my girlfriend and her family here last night for a birthday. There were 4 of us and we ordered a platter, we couldn't believe how much food was on it lol. Our server was sweet and on top of things, she brought us a serving spoon as necessary and plenty of tostadas. The taste was excellent just like before. Honestly if you love someone and they love seafood, you treat with the aguachiles and/or ceviche here.

    Aguachile Mixed Plate & Tacos Gobernador

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while now and i'm so mad at myself for not coming sooner!! The aguachile was so good, the perfect amount of spice, ceviche tastes so fresh, and the tacos gobernador were life changing! Can't wait to be back for more

    Me and my family love Julian's Aguachiles. We try and go at least once a week. The aguachiles and ceviche are fresh and delicious but my favorite is the Camarones Cabrones! The shrimp tacos Gobernador and their micheladas are also amazing!

    I never tried aguachiles before but came here with some friends before we saw the Barbie movie. It's a nice small locally owned restaurant with ceviche and aguachiles as their speciality. Everything looked fresh and the reviews caught my eye, so I made it my dinner pick and wasn't disappointed! I'm used to seeing a green colored aguachiles sauce, but Julian has their own house version. It was very fresh and spicy. Portions are very large to share and keep snacking on. A perfect pairing with some cerveza ! I recommend you try this spot if you're feeling aguachiles! I have yet to try their other dishes, but they looked great as well.

    Fish tacos - they were EXCELLENT
    Nina R.

    First of all, this restaurant is darling. It is decorated in lots of vibrant colors, and there is ample seating, in various configurations. This is a great place to go with a small or large group of friends. Second, the food is excellent. My friends and I all got different things, ranging from ceviche to carne asada to the fish tacos and shrimp tacos that looked so irresistible on their menu. Everyone was happy with what they got, and I was over the moon happy with my fish taco and shrimp taco. The tortillas are homemade, and they are heavenly - everyone commented on it. Service was a little slow and kind of scattered, but that was to be expected because I showed up with a group of 40 friends. That is not their fault, and I would not hold it against them. This is not normal. I will return, and I would highly recommend this spot.

    Shrimp and fish tacos

    Food is amazing and staff as well! Will def be back. The horchata and peino agua frescas are bomb and is amazing as well as the aguachiles and shrimp tacos.

    I loved this restaurant and truly offer delicious and tasty aguachiles! They have great portions for the price. The taco gobernador was my personal favorite though because the tacos were filled with lots of cheese. They offer great service and are always playing soccer games on their TVs. They have lots of seating and have lots of great options!

    We stopped by Julian's on our way back from Ojai to LA and are so happy we did. The staff was so kind and the food was amazing. I would stick with the seafood, particularly the aguachile which was sensational. Spicy, citrusy and fresh. Frankly it was addicting.

    Wow!! That is all I have to say. Great food and great service. You can actually taste the food, normally seafood restaurants just soak their shrimp in lemon.

    Shrimp taco.... Obviously they were good ! lol
    Mandy C.

    The service was exceptional! Highly recommended the shrimp tacos!! One of the best I've had! Shrimp and tortillas were sooo fresh! Food came out nice and hot. I'm picking about temperature ;) Super casual place but feels clean.

    Mixed Aguachiles plate
    Tiffany C.

    Aguachiles was amazing!! They definitely fill up the plate so the size portion was worth it. Underneath the shrimp and fish, there was a good amount of cucumber slices, tomato slices and avocado slices. It was pretty empty on a Saturday night, but we got there an hour before closing. Not complaining though! Beautiful presentation and flavor. The service was very attentive and friendly. I definitely recommend especially if you love seafood!

Unfortunately, I m writing this bc I found out today, this place will permanently close July 6th, 2026. This is the only place left open in this worn out area. The people working there said, the old buildings will be demolished and they will build something else. Too bad they will not return. So if you have a chance, go visit before it happens. This place is delicious and worth the 1.5 hrs from where we live.

Once arrived we were greeted right away by the owner and staff and was seated right away. Luckily the restaurant wasn't that busy yet. Right of the bat service from Samantha P was fantastic and very friendly. As for the food we ordered 3 different appetizer and 2 main seafood dishes to share. Appetizers: Aquachiles- They were freshly made that morning and the was fantastic. Clam Strips- They were fresh and nicely battered. Portions were on the small side. Delaware Bay Oysters- Fantastic and so fresh. Very clean tasting. For the main dishes we ordered: 5oz Blackened Red Snapper- The snapper was grilled perfect. It was flaky and moist. 4pc Alaskan Cod Fish & Chips- I ordered it half Beer Battered and half Panko Fried. The panko came out dry but had a better crispness to it. The beer battered is the way to go. The fish was moist and flaky and the batter was nice and light as well. Plus the chips ( Fries) where amazing. I believe they were double fried. It was crispy on the outer layer and creamy inside. All in all we did enjoyed our Mother's Day lunch at Fisherman's Catch. Until our next visit.

For over 25 years, this spot has remained a "go to" in the community, and we love seeing these old school treasures continue to thrive. From the moment you walk in, you get those nostalgic, old-school vibes. Loved all of the decor and pictures of fisherman throughout the place. The service here was awesome. Super friendly and welcoming, and the gentleman at the register gave great recommendations. He knew the menu well and was able to help me out with some suggestions. Honestly, the menu is so extensive it was hard to choose, but here's what I went with: Fish & Chips (2 piece plate): 5/5. The batter was light yet perfectly crispy, not overly heavy, and the fish itself was fresh, flaky, and high quality. Paired with a solid tartar sauce, this is a must order dish. The French fries were classic and I loved their coleslaw. Grilled Thresher Shark Plate: 4.5/5. This one was a standout for me given how hard it is to find shark on menus nowadays. I actually grew up eating shark, so this felt super nostalgic. The staff highly recommended it, and I'm so glad I listened. The grilled shark was mild, tender, and full of flavor thanks to their delicious balsamic glaze marinade. If you've ever been curious about trying shark, this is the place to do it. I'll be back again for this soon. Overall, the food was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying and the best part? It doesn't break the bank. Prices were reasonable and portions were generous. Definitely check them out if you haven't already, a great old school restaurant in Oxnard.

They're open all day, so you can come in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, which makes it super convenient. As soon as you walk in, you'll notice a beautiful display of wine bottles, and you can clearly see the full bar ahead--definitely sets the tone that the drinks are going to be just as good as the food. Fabiola was our waitress, and she was incredibly sweet and attentive. She answered all of our questions (and we had a lot!), making the whole experience even better. We all started with coffee--because how could we not at breakfast? Unfortunately, their espresso machine wasn't working, so I went with a regular black coffee with creamer. It was actually pretty good! We didn't order any appetizers, but they have plenty of great options to choose from. For my meal, I ordered the ribeye sandwich, and wow--the meat was so tender and juicy, full of flavor, and the portion was perfect. I could honestly eat this every day. My sister had the chilaquiles, which were highly recommended by the staff, and they definitely lived up to the hype. The only thing is we wished they were a little more saucy, as they were slightly on the dry side. My sister-in-law ordered the big breakfast, which comes with two of everything--huge portions and definitely worth it. Now let's talk about the pancakes... they offer both regular pancakes and Mexican-style pancakes, which are thinner--but honestly, so much better. I cannot stress enough how amazing they were. I absolutely fell in love and would come back just for those alone! Overall, such an amazing place. Highly recommend!

We ordered coffee, fresh orange juice, crepes, an omelet with hash browns, chilaquiles, and a classic breakfast plate with eggs, bacon, and potatoes. The portions were generous, and the service was friendly throughout the visit. Everything was good overall, and the restaurant had a comfortable local brunch spot feel. That said, personally, it's hard for me to rate the food above 4 stars. Nothing tasted bad, but nothing really stood out or left a strong impression either. I kept waiting for that "wow" moment, but it never quite came. Still glad we tried it with family, but whether I would revisit again... I'd probably have to think about it a little...
