    Heard they have some good eats, had to stop and check out for myself. El Caporal did not disappoint. I had the ranchera steak plate and some tacos, it was delicious. My wife had the torta sandwich and she said it was so freaking good. We went inside Pj's for a cold beer and it was chill and relaxing. Great service inside and outside. Will be back again

    Chicken Burrito. The roasted jalapeño was a nice touch along with the cucumber slices to cool things down.

    This is my go-to place for tacos and burritos when I'm in Camarillo. I tell everyone I know to go here. There is no competition, they are the best!

    a variety of tacoss

    Definitely one of the best tacos I have had. My brother and I ordered two of each tacos. Grilled onions and peppers on the sides were amazing. Meats full of flavors. The lady taking orders were wonderful.

    Outside. It might look intimidating in the location but no worries. The food is worth it!

    Don't be intimidated by the location or truck itself, it's worth it! Located on a side street the food truck is a jewel. Great food with a simple menu. Burritos, tacos or quesadilla with a choice of meet (skip your vegetarian cuisine). I had tacos and beans/rice. All meats and rice rocked, the El pastor was especially delicious. Friendly staff and a straight forward menu. Awesome.

    Best taco truck I have ever been too in the city of Oxnard. The tacos have plenty of meat on them, which makes it worth paying $2 per taco. On top of that the service that they provide is perfect! They are attentive and try to be on top of anything a customer needs. Take both cash and credit card.

    My tacos being made. And they were delicious!!

    That fancy dinner that almost broke the pocket book not fill you up? Stop by this taco food truck. It's ok don't be scared only the freaks come out at night! Tacos $1.50 each Burrito $6 Quesidilla $6 Your choice of carne asada, al pastor, chicken, chorizo and tripas. Your order is taken at the front of the truck. Pick up at the back of the truck. Food is prepared pretty quick. I always take my tacos home and my tacos are never soggy! The grilled jalapeño served with the meal I love. I take a bite with each bite of my food. Spicy! The cool and refreshing cucumber slices are great when you have had too much of the green salsa. Hours: Sun-7p-11p Tues-Thurs 7p-11p Fri-Sat 7p-1a

    Asada tacos ($1.50 each)

    Pros: Only late night "traditional" taco truck in Camarillo city limits (I believe) Accepts Credit Cards Decent Tacos Cons: $1.50 per taco (this is highway robbery in L.A. proper) Some of the meats disappointed I finally gave this place a shot and overall, it's good, but unfortunately, I've had better. Tripa - nicely crunchy, not rubbery at all. A+ Pastor - not on the spit that night and had no smoked or pineapple taste. Just tasted like marinated pork Asada - decently marinated, but a bit on the dry side Tacos came with a couple of peppers (which were good), but there's no condiment bar nor was I offered any. Overall, a decent spot if I have late night cravings, but nothing that blows me out of the water

    New location in Nyeland Acres, corner of Ventura Blvd and Orange Dr.
    Rigo S.

    I went a couple times the past week family visiting) and I'm afraid the quality has dropped a bit. They're still good but not the same. That pastor was delicious. Asada was a bit tough. The tripas were disappointing, tasted grimy and chewy. I'll be going back but was s but bummed out.

    Don't waste your money! Their meats are full of fat, and their tacos are very skimpy.

    I waited all my food truck life for this moment…read more.. I attended the Camarillo Ranch, Food Truck Event today. First day they had this since, COVID. The event was great. A lot of people! What was the problem? This food truck had about five people in line. All the other trucks had +20 in line. I thought I scored because, there was no line. Seriously, I was waiting for this precious foodie moment... The food was gross! Steak was like dinosaur meat thick and with fat. That baby THICK!!! I couldn't even chew it. I went to the shrimp and it was not made with love. The shrimp was over seasoned and it had the same seasoning as the rice! The veggies had no flavor and were thin and no flavor. I guess, I couldn't tell because I still had that yucky seasoning in my mouth. A true disappointment. Ya'll save your $30 and try another truck!

    Such a great idea to have hibachi on a food truck!…read more Hands down food is always fire. Chef Palmer and his team do a wonderful job. I will say if you asked me to review this last year , I would of dropped the stars. There was 2 incidents I was not happy with, 1 was when the food truck was at the brewery. During this time, we had a female worker take our order, not sure if she was a gf of the chef at the time (from what transpired) or a worker. She was nice, no issue at all from her assisting us but we went inside the brewery to come back out 30 minutes later expecting our food to be close to being ready and the truck was closing up and ready to drive off. We had asked the cook, not sure of his name. He was very nice but we were disappointed, he had told us "he didn't have our order and wasn't aware we even placed one and asked for a receipt and who took our order." We explained what happened, and we could hear him and the female employee have a small disagreement about the order. We were refunded and were told it was a miscommunication. We were pretty upset at this point and chose not to come back for a while, we came back again 1 more time and again, had issues with service and food was not how it usually was. I will be honest, we took a few months of a break from visiting. Fast forward to now and recently since then (previous comment) we now come at least once or twice a month. It is our go to spot when we want a night of hibachi but don't get home till late from our sons soccer activities. The food truck being open late is perfect for those nights. Each and every time food has made up for the incident last year and has always been BOMB. The variety of the menu has expanded since it has opened, each and every item has been great. Our go to favorites are the steak and lobster combo plate, garlic noodles and the hibachi burrito or fries. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them. We have been coming since the food truck first started and have loved to watch it grow and will continue to support these local 805 businesses who definitely deserve it. Highly recommended, if you see this food truck and the line is long ,I promise you it is worth it!

We ordered the Tapsilog ($15), Chicken Adobo with Pancit and Puto ($15), Shanghai ($5), and a can of Calamansi juice ($3). Everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. We were also offered a sample of their atchara, which paired perfectly with both the tapa and chicken adobo. It was so good that it elevated the entire meal. The customer service was warm and welcoming, reminding me of being with my own family. Everyone was friendly, and the food came out quickly despite it being a busy Sunday afternoon. We visited around 1:00 PM on a Sunday and found it to be a great time to come after the main lunch rush. There is outdoor seating behind the restaurant and in front and while the sounds of the nearby freeway were present, the atmosphere still gave us beachside vibes and made for a relaxing meal. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience. The food, service, and hospitality were all outstanding. I highly recommend stopping by and giving this place a try. I'm already looking forward to coming back and working my way through the rest of the menu. Please support this local gem you won't be disappointed!

I recommend getting the Chicken Adobo plate as it's one of the most worth it ones. The food takes a moderate time to make.

    Let me tell you!!! This was bomb.com, I ordered the Burrito…read moreSonorense with the queso birria tacos (they call it something else) and my brother ordered the Burrito Cobijado with an Orchata Smoothie. The Burrito Sonorense was just delicious, it was juicy and full of flavor. The queso birria tacos were packed with cheese and meat and were also delicious. Some places skim on these type of tacos but not this place. My brother has been to this place before and he swears by the Burrito Cobijado but all I can say it that it looked delicious since he didn't let me have a bite. The wait was a bit long, but they were apologetic about it and explained that the Burrito Cobijado takes a longer to prepare. Also, they're not Taco Sisters anymore. They're "Los Dos Carnales" now, same spot though.

    When I first found this place I went out of my way to encourage the owner to advertise on Yelp…read more They used to not have a page on Yelp and their only source of advertising was local pages on Facebook. I wanted to tell people about it because I really enjoyed my food and their service was really homey and inviting. Everything from their free consommé to their delicious Sonora style combinations was very tasty. Fast forward to now, they now have a yelp page and the owner is doing a great job advertising her business on various platforms. The problem now, is that I strongly believe that their quality has gone down since they first opened. For any new restaurant to survive, they must not only serve good tasting food but, probably most importantly they need to hace consistency. Some of the things I feel have suffered is: Their free consommé, yes I get it it is free and I shouldn't complain but, come on, if you are givings your clients any food or drink it better represent your business well. The other things is the flavor of their meats. The pastor and asada have been tasting bland and flavorless. Guys please just take you time and do it right. Please don't cut corners when it leads to food taste and quality problems. Overall, I really hope they survive during the pandemic and I do hope that they heed my advice on the food that I gave them the last time I was there. They are really nice and hardworking people and I think if they just improve some things in their food truck, they can continue to succeed.
