    Pa' la cruda
    Cristy B.

    This restaurant deserves 10 Stars! We walked in and we were greeted by a kind lady behind the counter and got seated within 2 mins. Our server got our drinks right away and chips and salsa. While waiting for our food our server Roberto kept checking on us and brought chips twice. Micheladas are delicious and perfect for the cruda! Mar y Tierra carne asada steak juicy and tender, grilled shrimp rice and beans delicious. Shrimp Tacos plate was good just felt like it needed a little more dressing but it was delicious. Oysters preparadas first time trying oysters and they were pretty good. I liked the topping which is shrimp ceviche. Check in on Yelp and get a free dessert. We got the cheesecake and it was just perfect. While we were eating Roberto kept checking if everything was okay or needed any refills. The atmosphere and service were on point. Highly recommend Mi Pueblito if you are looking for delicious authentic Mexican food.

    DISGUSTING!!!!! COCKROACH ALERT!!! Went to Mi Pueblo to get food and waited for a while before being seated. it took a while for food but that's normal for this place. got my 7 mares soup.... started to eat the soup... then found a dead pregnant cockroach. wtf. there were three of us who ordered the soup!!! the manager said she's never seen it. how is that possible?! the cockroach was pregnant. this can't be the first time. look at my spoon in the photo! (for reference the spoon is a lot larger than normal soup spoons!)

    Taco Tuesday carnitas, carne asada, shrimp and fish tacos!

    I came here on Taco Tuesday on an off eating time at 2:00 pm. A lot of previous reviews discuss that serious wasn't great which wasn't an issue for us because we had a party of 2 and went during the week on off typical dining hours. For Taco Tuesdays they do carne asada, pollo and carnitas tacos for $1.50 and shrimp and fish tacos for $2. All of the tacos are made on homemade tortillas and you can tell by the quality. Honestly for the price for a battered shrimp/ fish taco you can't beat it. I have noticed it's hard to find Taco Tuesday deals in Ventura County and Mi Pueblo does pretty well. Our waitress was attentive and helpful. We also used our Yelp checkin for a free dessert we got the ice cream sundae. All the fixings on the sundae: vanilla ice cream, whip cream, sprinkles, cherry and chocolate sauce.

    Good service and good food every time I come here. The molcajete mixto is my favorite

    Carnitas plate!

    First time here and I was amazed! It was a Friday and they had karaoke! I had the Carnitas plate and OMG it was the best I've ever had! The Mecheladas were in point! The service was great! The ambiance was clean & nice! I am definitely going to return! Especially Fridays!

    My Pueblo is a great, local, family run business! I went there for the first time a few weeks ago and they didn't disappoint. The food was so fresh, the drinks were huge, and the staff are super friendly. I couldn't decide if I wanted fish or shrimp tacos so our waiter, Sal suggested I try one of each. I'm also trying to eat healthy so he recommended I have them grilled instead of fried. It's always nice to have waiters who pay attention and make recommendations/suggestions based on your preferences. I also tried one of their micheladas and it was huge and delicious!

    We have been here twice. This is relatively a new restaurant. It was a pizza parlor before. We are pleased to say that every time we've been here, we've been impressed with good quality food and good service. I recommend you try the jalapeño poppers. It's an open face jalapeño with cream cheese bacon and tomato and onions. Fantastic! My wife ordered the Menudo and she was very pleased with it. My father, hard to please, ordered the carne Asada burrito and he enjoyed it very much as well. I had the salmon, and it tasted fresh to me.

    Pretty much the only place that haven't tried in Oxnard city...until yesterday…read more Let's start with the chips and salsa...always a good indicator of things to come. Wasn't the best, but far from bad. The chips were in one of those steel machines to keep warm, they were thin, crispy, and light salt, the way ALL tortilla chips should be. But they were a bit oily only negative. The salsa was cantina style seemed homemade, was good, zero spice/mild. (B+) Combo fajitas (friend order) it was a good tasting with a terrific plate of guac, pico, refried beans, and shredded cheese. Heck, you couldve made a meal from just the side plate wrap em up call it a veggie fajita party. Very filing and good (A-) Other friends had carne asada burrito, and a steak plate, both happy so assuming they are good. Service was outstanding by several individuals; checking in on order, refilling drinks, cleaning table, all workers are terrific and polite. I was ready for the 5-star goldenrod Neptune-trident throwdown, but my order, the torta (D-) was a complete trainwreck. Al pastor and a torta; took a double-jeopardy style gamble and crapped out, snake eyes big time. The bread was abysmal/ not fresh, the al pastor was ice cold and not memorable, meat fused to a cold hardened melted gooey cheese; send it back, replaced with carne asada, still came back cold (just don't get it.) so that item alone dragged it down a star. I was so full from the chips and salsa, sampling friends' food, and the side order of clam chowder (yes, in a Mex restaurant a first for me, was smoky and quite good too! (A-) that I just picked off some of the cold beef and ate that without the bread. Would I come back? Well, when seaside, I usually crave seafood like a nice fish n chips or something, but if I am ever craving Mex, will bring wife and son. Just will not touch the torta with a diez-foot pole amigo. They also have a salsa bar upon entrance which I completely forgot to pound once food came, shame on me once.

I've always loved their complimentary chips and salsa bar, especially with the marinated jalapeños and onions, such a nice touch that sets them apart from other establishments. I ordered the Baja Seafood Burrito, which came loaded with fresh white fish and shrimp. The seafood tasted fresh, though it could've used a tad more char and seasoning for that extra punch of flavor. The portion sizes are huge, easily enough for two meals. We also tried the Beef Villas for the first time, and it was a pleasant surprise. The beef was tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, definitely something we'd order again. The harbor view makes dining here even better. I always recommend sitting outside if the weather allows. Even when it's chilly, there are space heaters up above that easily toast you right up. All in all, Yolanda's remains a local favorite for great reasons: quick and attentive service, hearty portions, and a relaxed coastal vibe that keeps you coming back.

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.

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.

There is larger rice than beans ratio, but they give plenty of meat protein. I have been here several times in the past.
