    My friend showed me this post on Facebook about some Cheeto asada fries at this restaurant. The video looked fantastic but when we showed up.. it was literally in the middle of no where. The Cheeto asada fries were eh, okay... I felt that it was just hyped up. Other than those fries the food was good. I would go there for regular tacos and plates, l would leave the Cheeto asada fries behind.

    Not good at all

    We came here because a video on I believe TRENDI eats posted about the hot cheetos crane asada fries...I'm all about hot cheetos so we wanted to check it out but this plate is definitely not good at all...first off the place is a run down dirty spot...bathroom is filthy ..the tables are left filthy, dirty plates everywhere,(which is why we took it to go). The lady who took our order was rude af...yeah it was our first time there so obvs we had a couple questions of what's on the plate..I showed her a pic from Yelp and told her I wanted that exact plate and she didn't even add guac on the order. I didn't care if it was extra charge me but just add what I asked for. We got the fries and a burrito total was $26 for something that wasnt even good at all definitely not worth it at all ! Bad food and even worse customer service !

    Ordered and it took 20 minutes to come to us. Only reason we came here was because of the video we saw about the hot cheeto fries, we were disappointed. They were out of avocado and still proceeded to charge us for it. They are not flexible at all, I asked if I could get any avocado on a burger and they said they don't do that, I cound't even order it as a side. The food itself was sub par, she stuff you could get anywhere else and but here it was double the price. I'll stick to my local places...

    Chavocho fries. Fries, beans, carne asada, guacamole, fried egg, cheese, and hot cheetos

    Saw a video on Facebook of Chavocho fries, fries, beans, carne asada, cheese, guacamole, fried egg, and hot cheetos.....looked like heaven to me, so yes, I couldn't wait to try it. And let me tell you it was worth the almost 2 hour drive. This is a new item to the menu, and they are taking suggestions for improvement, I hope to see this item stay, cause I will definitely return. The restaurant size is okay, its clean, and the staff was super friendly, appears to be family owned and operated which I love.

    Amazing! Party in my mouth! Drove from LA to Oxnard and it was worth the drive. Had their fries with refried beans, Cheetos, eggs, guacamole...heaven! And the service was great and refill was only $1!

    A place recommended by a contractor who fixed our windows in Oxnard California. The man claims this…read moreis the best Mexican birria he's ever had in his life. 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.

    It was my first time trying this spot out but it won't be my last visit. Yes, parking was a little…read morechallenging but worth it. 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.

    Their reviews seem to really span the stars. I think it really depends on who the cook and staff…read moreare at any given time. 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! It was extremely dry and the shell was baked not fried which made it have a weird texture!

    We will be back! Did not even know this place existed…read more perhaps a little more marketing. Good location in my opinion. For the locals; it's took over Red Lobster restaurant. Food: very tasty. We went on taco Tuesday, $1.99/ea and It's a buffet! Many choice of protein, toppings and salsas. Service: very nice people Ambiance: just fine. Bar: tasty margaritas at $10/each They also offer Mexican Sunday brunch BUFFET! Not many in our area. We have to try that next time. Thanks.

    Our group of friends recently dined here, and unfortunately, our experience was disappointing…read more First, we were surprised to find that we were charged for the chips and salsa without being told there was a charge. It was only a dollar on each (5 ) of our bills but they should have told us. Many Mexican restaurants provide them as a complimentary appetizer, so it would have been nice if the server had let us know beforehand. The biggest issue, however, was the service. One person in our party never received his meal. We had to ask about it, and we were simply told, "It's coming," with no explanation or apology. We ended up waiting so we could all eat together, so my soup was cold and I ended up not eating it and had to take it home. When the bill came, I asked what had happened. I was hoping the server would apologize or at least explain the delay. Instead, she didn't really answer my question. Only after I commented that they must have forgotten it, server said his meal had burned and the kitchen had to remake it. It would have been much better if she had communicated that to us from the beginning instead of leaving us wondering what was going on. Throughout the meal, the server rarely checked on our table to see if we needed anything or if everything was okay. Given the long delay and lack of communication, I also think it would have been a nice gesture to either comp the delayed meal or at least remove the charge for the chips and salsa. And normally we would tip less but she added the tip to the bill Unfortunately, what should have been an enjoyable dinner with friends turned into a frustrating experience because of the lack of communication and customer service.
