    Scallop Garlic Taco & Fish Taco
    Nelinda H.

    We stumbled upon this quaint taco spot a few years back and have fond memories of that day, so we decided to try and find it again and so happy we did! Though we were doing it for the nostalgia, we were also hungry and ready for some good food. We ordered the surf and turf burrito, a fish taco and a scallop garlic taco. They were all delicious! The fish taco was breaded very lightly and had the perfect crunch with every bite. The scallops were made perfectly (like fine dining level) and the burrito, so so good! Next time we're in the area we'll be sure to stop by again. There's also a 2-hr public parking across the street, perfect for dining in and taking a stroll along the beach after a great meal. Happy eating!

    Fish was kinda soggy and tasted like oil. Not crispy at all.

    The place is super cool. Small cozy but perfect size. Outside seating in front and the neat little area on the side where I sat. World Cup was on and the vibe was awesome. The girl that took my order was super friendly. The problem was the food. Maybe the oil wasn't hot enough because my fish tacos tasted like they were soaked in oil. Same situation with my wife's fish and chips. Pretty disappointing just based on location and vibe. Hope it's and isolated incident. The Mexican Cokes somehow make everything better though!

    One of the best fish tacos me and my parents have had! Great view of the beach at a great location. Great service and great prices especially for the amount and portion u get and u gotta try there potato tacos!

    Bait & Switch! Menu advertises a Surf & Turf Burrito with Shrimp + choice of additional meat for $16.00. I've ordered this burrito many times and been charged the menu price. Today they added an additional $2 charge "for shrimp". I was told the owner now requires an additional charge because there are "two meats". What's going on here?

    Worth the drive from the SCV! We've been here multiple times and it always slaps! We noticed a few new items on the menu. But still pretty simple. Not overwhelming at all. It's a little small. But I like it. Service is great all the time.

    What started as just another business day turned into such a fun food find. We were starving, craving something different, and on the way to the beach I spotted this little place tucked in among all the others nearby. My cousin had been here before, but the rest of us were first-timers, so choosing what to order was not easy because honestly, everything sounded good. Thankfully, my cousin told us to try the Parmesan-dusted tacos--and wow, that was the move. They were super crunchy, packed with flavor, and the kind of thing you just keep reaching for. I'd come back for those alone and definitely bring more people with me next time. We also tried the pastor street tacos and the asada nachos, which were tasty, but the Parmesan-dusted tacos were the real standout. Seriously, those are the reason I'll be coming back. It was a amazing day to sit outside enjoying the ocean breeze and sun shinning.

    The tacos here are absolutely delicious! They also have specials going on, excellent prices and generous portions! Located right by the beach, this is the ideal casual spot to grab some food. Service is wonderful, they are very hard-working here and the food was ready quickly.We tried a variety of their tacos and all of them were absolutely delicious! Don't forget to grab some of their homemade salsa to finish it off perfectly. Highly recommended if you are looking for fresh and authentic Mexican food in the area!

    I didn't know I needed scallop tacos in my life...but consider me obsessed. These scallops were the size of what I expect to get in fine dining restaurants (and never get!). The scallops were cooked perfectly so the texture was amazing. The flavors were all fresh and the green salsa topped everything off with mild spice. Can't wait to go back

    What a GEM near Ventura. I was looking Spey for seafood tacos and found this place on Yelp. When I read that they had scallop tacos, I was sold. Parking is a BEAR, so be prepared to walk. The people at the nearby restaurant are not friendly at all and will watch you to make sure you don't park in their lot. The food here was to die for. The sauces are made in-house and each item is so carefully prepared. My partner and I shared a variety of tacos and EVERYTHING was good. Highly recommend the soft-shell crab and the scallops. Shocked that the scallops were diver size and not bay scallops. Amazing amazing amazing food. Can't wait to revisit.

    Had such a great experience at Pierpont Tacos in Ventura! I went there with my son and everything about it was fantastic. The tacos were absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with Love. But what really stood out was the people. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, which made the whole visit even better. It's one of those spots that just feels good to be at. Definitely looking forward to coming back!

Kindly put these three were demanding and not very understanding of Jackson's time. The MANY times they asked for changes to the food, several other things they "asked" for Jackson kept her cool and quickly gave them what they requested.

It was a solid grilled fish taco with not a ton of pomp and circumstance. Just unadulterated goodness. Fast forward to my recent visit - it didn't quite hit the same though I'm sure my palette has since evolved. The World Famous grilled fish taco ($7.95) was good, but was only made better with the in house sweet chili fire sauce. Of the things we ordered, I did really enjoy the ahicado ($13.75) which is ahi tuna mixed in lemon infused olive oil on top of avocado and served with wonton chips. I love a wonton chip situation and paired with the fresh ahi, it made for a perfect bite. The guy next to us ordered several Parmesan hard shell tacos ($5.50) so I did too (with shredded chicken). The flavorful chicken was perfectly shredded so you didn't get unmanageable hunks with each bite. These were unexpectedly very tasty. Highly recommend if you like a hard shell sitch. Judging from the lines at 2:00PM on a Saturday afternoon, Spencer MaKenzie's is a Ventura institution even if I won't be thinking about the grilled fish tacos n-e-more. PSA: dining on the patio is the move even if you have to wait.

First off, the parking here is a nightmare. I literally got boxed in and had to ask someone to move their car so I could back out. Secondly, me and my coworker stop here at 11:30am for an early lunch. There is literally 1 other person there who had already ordered and got their meal just as me and my coworker sit down after ordering. We ordered 7 tacos in total... 30 minutes later the food still hadn't arrived. I finally go up to the counter to see if something was wrong and the guy had no idea about our order and said he was sorry that they had a big catering order. As a former business owner I do understand that stuff happens and a large catering order is good for business but ultimately that isn't the customers problem. Especially the customer that is sitting there at your establishment. Rather than tell us while we were ordering that it might take longer than normal, they don't communicate anything and then don't even address the issue until I go up there to complain. Once that happened the tacos came out in less than 5 minutes which is even more upsetting since this is how fast they should have come out to begin with. The gentleman who I think was an owner did apologize and try to offer some free drinks which I politely declined as I knew I'd never be back again. I hope that this business learns to service the customers properly that are actually dining there and if there is an issue at least takes some initiative to address it on the front side. Most working class people only get a 30-45 minute lunch to begin with so it wasn't cool that we literally wasted 30 minutes just sitting there with no explanation. There are plenty of other good places around Ventura for lunch - especially for tacos. Won't be going back here ever.

The tacos were flavorful, the dip was creamy and perfect for sharing, and the drink hit the spot.

There's not a lot of interaction with the staff, but everything was smooth and efficient. One of my favorite parts was the atmosphere. The happy hour crowd was a nice mix of people, and the place had a fun, lively energy without feeling overwhelming. Since it was a warm day, my friend and I chose to sit inside.

I ordered the special White Sangria which Is so good I had to order on repeat. Since it was Happy Hour, we also ordered the grilled chicken tacos for $8. We both thought those were tasty as well and their avocado salsa verde is the just like the one I make at home. Ambiance is well curated with welcoming outside patio feeling very open and airy with organic Boho accents and wood features. The servers were efficient but very friendly. Ten Tigers is legitimately a 5 Star - will Recommend highly! Since this review, we re-visited on a Friday evening and ordered the same drinks and meal. I can confirm the consistent quality of the food. This Friday night was hopping with several groups celebrating Birthdays. We lucked out and found one of the last open tables. The servers were very busy and took a while to clear off and clean our table - not a big deal because their priority is serving the tables and getting the food and drinks out to the tables. There is a longer line at the counter to order just before Happy Hour ends at 6:00. Tip- plan your evening to arrive earlier. Ten Tigers is now on our repeat list in Ventura.

I have always had great experience with the staff there; they have always been kind, courteous and attentive. Even when I order over the phone (and on a few occasions that has been within 30 minutes of closing time, lol). They are always understanding and accommodating. I always get either the seafood burrito or the spicy garlic shrimp burrito, but I always ask them to let me add an extra protein and they happily oblige for a very small surcharge (my go-to is usually some combination of the spicy garlic shrimp, ahi-seared rare, grilled shrimp, and/or grilled salmon). The burrito is huge! And for the quality of ingredients, the blast of flavor, and beach-side vibes, all for $14-20 depending on how you customize your meal, it is definitely a good bang for your buck. Highly recommend. Oh and they always hook it up with the salsa, and their salsas and sauces are bomb! I have seen them extremely busy during peak hours and on weekends because there are many beach goers and tourists in the area, and because the Ventura Pier and San Buenaventura Beach are such popular places. My family and I love to walk the pier while waiting for our food, or grab our order and head down to the sand to eat while the kids play on the playground. I definitely recommend making a day out of it.

An hour later, I was handed a to-go box so tiny it fit in the palm of my hand. For a split second, I thought maybe they forgot the rest of my order. Nope. Inside were three of the smallest "street tacos" I've ever seen. I've seen more substantial meals in Barbie's Dreamhouse. I ordered the carne asada, but apparently the salt shaker took the day off because the meat had absolutely zero seasoning. No salt, no flavor, no redeeming qualities. The punchline? This tiny, flavorless comedy routine cost me $10 and an hour of my life. If you're looking for an appetizer for a doll or you're on a strict "disappointment diet," this is your place. As for me... never again.
