    La Especial Bakery is open for business on weekends. Great food ! Their enchiladas, burritos, and tamales are delicious!

    I had the enchilada combo. It came with 3 enchiladas with sour cream, lettuce, and tomatoes, and rice & beans. It was very delicious! The chips very fresh and hot and the salsa had the perfect kick. The ambience is very casual with friendly workers.

    You want authentic Mexican food that's a great price point AND beyond good? If you answered yes to any and/or all of the above then this spot is waiting for you. Love coming to this spot when I'm in town and met the owner once who quickly made friends and went on to talk about how proud and good his food is. I've had their tacos to their burritos to their tamales...all are incredible, can't recommend this spot enough. Legit of the legit for Mexican food in and around Ventura/Oxnard.

    I love their food! After a while of getting breakfast burritos and pancakes, I started getting different breakfast items. Their super croissant and breakfast burger are delicious!!! They both have a type of sauce that complements the food. If you are ordering to go, I would recommend calling ahead since it can get busy. The staff os friendly and try to get your food out asap.

    Driving on PCH we got hungry and we found this off the beaten path place in Port Hueneme. We haven't had breakfast but it's close to lunchtime so we stopped at this place. I had their pancakes and a side of machaca and machaca burrito. The pancakes a bit heavy but really good. We had the green, red and habanero salsa. Habanero salsa super hot but flavorful. I couldn't stop pouting it on my food even though my mouth was on fire. The flour tortillas were soft and you can tell It's homemade. Alex not sure if he's the owner, was very nice and helpful. He came by to check up on us. We told him if we live near we would come by more to try the rest of the dishes. We heard the tamales are really good. But we're stuff so we didn't order it. After we paid he came with three tamales for us to take home to try. What an awesome customer service. I'm not writing this because of that. I want you to try this place when you're in the area and looking for authentic good food. I really enjoyed it.

    The nachos are meal for two or three, and they are good with the works. I've had the burritos, ok, but I go there for the nachos.

    I think we found the best Mexican food in Ventura. I can't wait to come back and try something else.

We came once. The particular waitress we had was terrible but i think it was just her. We got the steak and shrimp fajitas and the chile relleno/chicken enchilada in green sauce plate. I would come back in the cooler months. It was crowded by the time we left at 1:00 pm on a sunday.

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.

I loved the carne asada burrito but could have had just a touch less salt! I didn't love the crunchy shredded beef taco!
