The food was ehh & the service was awful! Literally only 4 people (including myself & my bf) and the waitress took forever to even get our order. The food came oit quick but getting the check was another long wait. Maybe they're short staffed idk, but I think 2-4 customers is more than manageable. read more

Stopped by for a quick late lunch/early dinner while shopping at the outlets. We were quickly seated and placed our order of Ensenada fish tacos and the spicy chicken sandwich. The food came pretty quickly, but I think our waiter was probably spread too thin, as it took a bit of time to get refills, check etc. The food is a solid 4. I would say a 3 for the spicy chicken sammy and fries, and a total 5 for the fish tacos! Spicy Chicken Sandwich-Decent sized fried chicken breast with hot sauce, but nothing special. The fries are your typical frozen variety steak fries. Good meal but would not order this again and would definitely skip the fries. The star of the show was the Ensenada Fish Tacos. Delicious, fresh and incredible flavor. Would definitely order again! Good price point for a nice sit down meal. The menu was a bit overwhelming and lots to choose from. They also have what looks to be an awesome breakfast/brunch menu. Will return and for sure order more fish tacos! read more

Such a great restaurant! Came in for a michelada and left nice and full! Great to know that breakfast is served all day! The bummer part was I had one drink and never saw my server again. Food was great but left to go to Finney's for a second drink. Don't forget to ask for the birria menu. read more

Very good value for the money and nice service too. I will try it again: had breakfast here but want to try other meals. It's sparkling clean here too, which matters a lot to me. read more

This review is solely based on my take out experiences: Loru's Cafe has a variety of menu options you can choose from which is always appreciated! Everything I have ordered from this restaurant is delicious, the food never disappoints. Especially their shrimp tacos, I love their shrimp tacos! The reason for my 3 star review is the service here. Every time I send in my bf to pick up my order, he expresses his frustration of the lack of customer service and professionalism. For example, he went in today to pick up my order and they much rather talk than help their customer. Today, I ordered their breakfast burrito and I asked the gentleman to add avocado and salsa on the side. I paid $3.99 to add little avocado slices in my burrito and the gentleman didn't forget to charge me for it, but there were no avocados in my burrito. :( I did not get any salsa as requested either. I tried to call the restaurant to inform them, but my calls were not going through.. This restaurant has great food, but based on my take out experiences they need some more work with their service.. read more

Who would think that a good place to go for a Sunday brunch with outdoor seating would be at the Camarillo outlets??? We arrived a little before 10 AM figuring that it might get crowded after the mall opened. No problem getting a table with a heater on the patio on a chilly damp Sunday morning. We were the only ones out there when we arrived. Our server, Alexis, was at our table very soon after we sat to get our beverage order. They bring a small carafe of coffee ($4) for your refills, which is nice so the refill cups are kept hot. We shared the meat lover omelet ($18) and the country breakfast ($15). It came with a side of fruit and a side of 2 buttermilk pancakes. More food than anyone should eat for a brunch. And everything was delish!!! Nice ambiance, excellent service, large amounts of very tasty food - great value. Definitely will return for Sunday brunch in the near future. read more

Would've never thought that a little cafe situated in an outlet strip mall would get a 5 star review, yet here we are. Found out they served breakfast all day and they were open till 8pm. Perfect. Showed up and was immediately greeted and sat by Regi. Super knowledgeable, knew the menu and gave us his recommendations and we ordered them. Ordered the Cinnamon Roll French Toast (only pic i needed to take). Easily top 5 FT's that I've ever tried. Will easily be making a trip back here whenever I'm in the area. read more

My hubby and I had breakfast here before shopping at the outlets. I was already impressed by the yummy freshly squeezed OJ, and my delicious mocha latte with cinnamon. I couldn't stop raving about how delicious it was, as I drank it. lol. The food was great too. The menu is quite extensive, and I almost confused myself. I decided to try one of my fave breakfast/brunch dishes, the eggs Benedict, but with the additional option of chicharron! My husband's grand breakfast plate included everything he wanted, and he devoured it. My eggs Benedict was equally as delicious. Not a morsel was left behind. Service was also on point, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We will definitely be back when we are in the area. read more

Loru's Cafe is an excellent restaurant located in the the west side of Camarillo Premium Outlets. They offer an incredible variety of delicious breakfast/brunch items at great prices. In addition, they offer breakfast items all day. They are now my favorite place in Camarillo for breakfast. They also offer very good lunch and dinner items at great prices. Also, the staff is always very friendly and helpful. My only warning is they can be very busy during normal breakfast/brunch hours. However, I've never had an issue with waiting or getting a table during dinner hours. In summary, I highly recommend Loru's Cafe, especially for breakfast. read more

Went to Loru's on Saturday morning and they had no wait. We got seated right away. Our server brought us water pretty quickly and after he took our order it took about 15 minutes until the food got there. Our waiter was very helpful in helping us decide what to order because we were in between two different sweet items so that was nice. The mocha latte was just okay. Overall we had a good experience. Our waiter was very friendly and respectful. The place was pretty busy and noisy from all the people when we went, and there were tables both indoor and outdoors. Parking was very convenient. read more

I gave this place a third chance, and it will definitely be the last. My first experience was through DoorDash, and the food tasted as if it was cooked on a dirty stovetop--I could taste old oil and hints of other foods. The second time, I went in person and ordered an iced coffee, which was terrible. I returned it and decided not to order any food. For my third visit, I ordered the kids' mac and cheese with fries, a spinach scramble with toast and home potatoes, and half an order of biscuits and gravy. The mac and cheese turned out to be boxed Kraft mac and cheese. Are you serious? Do the chefs not know how to make macaroni and cheese? The fries were bland steak fries; for a kids' item, I expected smaller, more kid-friendly portions. The spinach scramble was the worst part. As the waiter brought it over, I smelled a terrible odor, like an unclean locker room. At first, I thought it might be the waiter, but the smell persisted. When I tried to eat, I realized it was coming from the Parmesan on my food. The odor was so off-putting that I couldn't eat it, so I got up and returned it immediately--I completely lost my appetite. The biscuit and gravy was just McCormick's country gravy mix, which is bioengineered. It's incredibly disappointing to see a restaurant using boxed and powdered mixes. If I wanted food like this, I'd stay home. I expect better from a restaurant. read more

We decided to try this restaurant after a day of shopping. Walking in was greeted and asked to choose a seat. It was a nice warm day to eat outside in their patio dining area. Our waiter i wished we remembered his name. A young fella. He was very attentive and recommended some very tasty choices. I ordered 1.50 Tuesday tacos and my partner choose the chilaquiles. Delicious food... we left with our tummies full and would definitely return. read more

Delicious breakfast spot in Camarillo! Some of the best omelettes I've ever had - they make them so thin so you can actually taste the flavor of everything inside (no adding flour to make them "fluffy"). Buttermilk pancakes had a great flavor - recommend asking for them to heat up the syrup to pour on top (: Also, not pictured, were the lemon butter crepes - yum! Can't wait to come back! read more

This is a solid spot for brunch located at the Camarillo outlets and run by folks with over 30 years in the restaurant business. Best tip is they do have a wait-list on Yelp so have someone check in person or on Yelp and take a peek at some nearby stores while you wait if they're open This place gets packed , solid food at an affordable price with plenty of American and Mexican brunch staples . There's indoor and outdoor seating and is very casual. You'll see large groups and small groups making their way to the menus as wait staff drop off generous platters of food. You'll find yourself peeking at other tables and going " oh that looks good" . With so many options on the menu it's hard to go wrong. I've been there a few times and really like their hash browns and gravitate towards breakfast platters. On my recent visit I ordered the Loru's combo that comes with cinnamon roll French toast (so good) and choices of potatoes (went with hashbrowns), protein (I got bacon and 2 scrambled eggs. I've tried their pancakes in the past and there are a few flavor options and they have the option to add on fresh or canned fruits. Because it can get busy service at times can get slow and it may feel like you're not getting checked on , but if you're coming in with those expectations that on a weekend you're going to wait to be seated and for your food order, it's definitely tasty enough food that I'd be willing to come back again. There's so much on the menu that it'll please any type of eater and great for all ages. read more

Was feeling in a brunch mood and made the drive over the grade to get some delicious food in Camarillo. This is one of my favorite spots for brunch since not only do they offer bottomless mimosas but delicious Mexican and California style breakfast options. Service is a bit slow sometimes, but they are usually busy when we go. Our server this last time was very thoughtful and friendly. On a good day I like to sit on the patio as inside it can get noisy. It doesn't feel crowded though even with place full. My husband got the cinnamon roll French toast and I ordered the biscuits and gravy. I'm not a sweet breakfast person but I definitely considered switching with my husband this day. I don't even really like French toast but this was so good!! read more

We go to brunch here every so often and it's always good. I haven't found anything that is exceptional, but everything us pretty decent. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the breakfast burrito. The service is average. The vibes are casual and chill. read more

I was sooooo excited to take a friend here because I have always enjoyed the food & service. However, I noticed that the service has started to go downhill. I was so bummed when friend said that the food is good but the service sucks. The side she asked for didn't show up until long after her food was cold. And all because the waiter forgot. He told her he wasn't going to charge her for it. But she was very frustrated at how long it took. She wasn't offered a box either for her food. She had to ask for it. Not sure why it was so off today. But even I can say that I don't think I'll be back either. Too bad cause the food is good. But the customer service is whay counts for me. read more

I've been only once and unfortunately found the food quality to be sub-par... Pricing is reasonable

We visited this place for brunch. My husband ordered the chicken fried steak, scrambled eggs with spinach, potatoes, and a Mexican cafe with pan dulce, while I opted for salmon, Eggs Benedict, potatoes, and orange mimosas. The food quality is fresh and absolutely DELICIOUS! The staff is friendly and courteous. The venue is tidy. We loved dining on the patio. We will definitely come back. As food enthusiasts, we are adding Loru's Cafe to our list of go-to restaurants. read more

I am aghast that Loru's Cafe rating sits at 4.5 stars. That makes NO sense to me with as many negative reviews as I have read speaking against them, not to mention, I witnessed and experienced the same sub-par food in person. How is this restaurant listed on Yelp with such a high rating? It's mathematically IMPOSSIBLE. Did they strike some deal with Yelp to NOT count the bad BUT ACCURATE ratings? Yelp admin. has been accused of this for years, but I'd like to think that my accurately reflecting my findings for them still counts for something. Yelp's rating for two stars... "could've been better"... is exactly how I felt about the food at Loru Cafe, and frankly, it could've been MUCH better. They get the 2 stars (and not just 1) because my husband was fine with his spinach scramble. Who knows... maybe breakfast is their strong suit, and I should've stuck with that. He thought it was tasty, although he mentioned the portions were on the smallish side, but otherwise, it was fine. However, I was so underwhelmed with my tuna and avocado salad that I actually sent it back and ordered something completely different, much to the annoyance of the food preparer, who I could was glaring at me once he found out who sent it back. Body language speaks volumes !! The salad didn't have some of the listed ingredients from the menu, which is always annoying to me. I'm paying for what they listed, but I'm not getting to actually eat it. It said 2 scoops of tuna salad...... okay, it was more like one large scoop... or 2 small ones. There was NO avocado whatsoever, which was one of the TWO main ingredients, nor were there any olives. Then, we get to the quality of the items that were there... the corn was straight out of a can, there were a few diced tomatoes, there were 3 small sliced pickles, again, straight out of a jar. The lettuce was just iceburg, which I don't mind, but it looked like it had been around for awhile, kind of yellowing, not as much green, and the Ranch dressing I ordered was not homemade. I tasted it, and there is nothing worse to me than pre-bottled Ranch. I sent the pile of boring, underwhelming salad back to the kitchen. They didn't even try to arrange it with any artistic flair, either... it was all just thrown in there, and I thought, do they expect me to eat THIS? There was NO way, especially with missing ingredients that I happen to love, so I returned it... and I NEVER do that. I return some things to heat them up more. I return other things for other reasons, but ALWAYS with the intent of getting it back. This salad, I returned to never see again. When I returned my salad to the kitchen, I did a complete about-face and instead ordered a patty melt, which came back to me PARTIALLY cooked. The beef patty was thoroughly cooked, the cheese was mostly melted (but it could have been better melted), but it was the bread that the cook hastily sped up the process of grilling/frying or whatever it was he was supposed to do, and it could have used about 5 more minutes cooking time, but I was also dealing with a pissed off cook, so I just accepted what I got. Yes, it was edible, but it was just mostly greasy from the butter he was supposed to be using to toast the bread some more. The beef patty was not seasoned at all, virtually no flavor, and we won't comment about how the meat patty wasn't even large enough to cover the bread it was on. It went about 2/3 of the way. The French fries were cooked nicely, but I couldn't eat them with the Ranch dressing as I normally would have done because I already knew that the Ranch wasn't homemade, so I didn't ask for it. Even the catsup was sub-par. Everyone knows Heinz is the superior catsup vendor and that Hunt's is inferior quality. Loru's uses Hunt's, so I think I've painted a decent enough picture. The bottom line is that I will NOT be returning to this establishment, and they ought to be ashamed for passing off food the way they do. Whatever. I spoke the truth, and guess what... my pictures will show some of it. They can say whatever they want and somehow manipulate their overall score, but buyer beware. read more

I've been following on instagram and was so happy to try this place out. I can say I was very disappointed. My beans were cold and did not taste good and the chilaquiles sauce was gross. The environment also felt very depressing. It was just an unpleasant meal and not worth the price. Pictures look great but taste is horrible. read more

Good food, my kids loved the Oreo pancakes and the funnel cake topped with whipped cream and strawberry's was amazing! The place was packed so we sat on the patio. Service was great. if you are visiting the outlets it's the perfect t breakfast spot since it's on the property. We will be back! read more

The food is amazing. However the salsa is lackluster and the service is super slow on a weekday! If you can be patient it's worth the wait. I hope they improve their staffing and service and the experience would be 5-star! read more

Cute little spot amid the terrifying environment of outlet stores. I had the birria tacos and my sister had the classic cheeseburger. Both were stellar. Stellar service too. Even though it was quiet and in the afternoon, the restaurant felt very welcoming and peaceful. Also, we had the churros which came with ice cream. It was a lot of churros though, so bring a box or bag if you're like me and want to enjoy your excursion with less waste. read more

Swung through here on a trip to the Outlets one weekend, and the brunch here is actually quite nice. The Bloody mary to start is a must, spicy and tangy and with a fresh crisp piece of bacon. I got the Machacas and eggs and it was exactly what I needed to start my shopping day at the Outlets. We also got the fresh cinnamon bun, which was the perfect sweet bite to finish. read more

Ordered the chorizo omelette, It was adequate. I chose fruit and it was fresh. Ordered a side of biscuit which was really good. The server help with making the pricer item part of the meal with the cheaper side to pay for, which was very thoughtful and kind. Very sweet waitress, attentive and friendly. They give you bottomless coffee with your own mini pitcher. Quick dining place to eat, if one is starting their shopping at the outlet. read more

Not so good. We will not go back there again! I do not recommend this restaurant. Eggs were cold, the server didn't remember what we ordered. read more

I just left this restaurant a few minutes ago. I've eaten there once before and it was ok. My daughter was less than impressed, but I thought I'd give it another shot today. I think we can title this review "An unfortunate mistake". Right off the bat I walked in and employees were sitting in the booths chatting. Only one customer on a weekday at 8:00AM. Not a good sign. Once I was noticed I was seated. Floor was greasy and a little slippery. Another bad sign. I ordered ham steak and eggs over medium. My breakfast arrived quickly and that was the high note. Toast was burnt and the eggs were runny. Not over medium at all. The food lacked flavor and to honest, I could have done better at home. I took my time consuming this "meal" and wasn't checked on once. By then there were two other customers so maybe they were just too busy. I really wanted to like this place, but sadly it's no better than iHop. Maybe not even as good. I'm not even sure I can blame the staff or this place. Since Covid, it's like mediocrity has become the standard and this place met that standard. Hopefully they will improve as Camarillo needs a few more good breakfast places. read more

Loru's Cafe exceeded my expectations in almost every way, and will be my first dining choice next time I'm at the Camarillo outlet mall. Our server was friendly, helpful, and professional. I ordered a dinner garden salad with a cup of clam chowder. My mom also had clam chowder plus a half tuna salad sandwich. The dinner salad was a generous size, but I finished it because the vegetables popped with freshness. The ranch dressing was also good. I enjoyed the chunky New England clam chowder served with crackers. My mother thought the chowder was a bit salty, but that might have been because the crackers were salty. I also ordered herbal tea, which came with lemon slices and honey. When I asked for a refill on hot water, our server gave me an additional mini pot of hot water. Overall, the restaurant had the vibe of a family business that takes pride in what it does. I wish I came with a bigger appetite so that I could try more of what Loru's had to offer. My one disappointment was that the bathroom wasn't quite as tidy as I would have liked, with stray paper towels strewn by guests on the floor. On the other hand, I came on a busy winter holiday shopping season day so it was probably unusually busy. If I'm in the area, I'd definitely like to try breakfast here. read more

Always great. Love the breakfast burrito. This place doesn't get the attention it deserves!
