As you walk into this deceptively designed shop, you'll find a tight entry. To the right is the…read moreservice counter. Immediately in front of you, is a grocery store with fresh produce, drinks, etc.. There's no real service to speak of. You go in, look at the menu above and behind the register, make your choices and pay the employee at the till. When I went, no one offered to answer any questions or sell me anything. The woman at the counter next to the young man behind the register just watched me while I checked stuff out. On the left between a dark room and the grocery, were large racks of Mexican pastries and breads. I have tried Mexican pastries in the past and have not really enjoyed them. But "hope springs. . ." and all that. So, seeing a decent amount of plump pastries and breads that looked incredibly fresh and enticing, I used the provided tongs and placed a few into a bag (also provided). I'm still thinking about going back for more. They were all moist and flavorful with fillings that were delicately sweetened. So so good. I perused the menu acting as though I hadn't come there for one item only - a breakfast burrito with bacon. I liked the breakfast burrito I had here and would definitely recommend it. It's a full meal capable of holding you for a long time. I would probably want to eat one again before a long day of chores, shopping, or a strenuous hike. I need to feel like I earned the calories. And I wasn't hungry until dinner. Behind the register is a doorway to a whole other experience. The kitchen is safely and sanitarily located behind tall countertops and a refrigerated section. I was excited to see the variety of offerings from south of the border. Are you hankering for a goody you can only get in Mexico, come here and look. You'll probably find it. That dark room I mentioned earlier is a huge dining area with dark iconic furniture that I discovered on my first trip to Mexico many years ago. Black leather and wood barrel shaped chairs with black leather topped round tables scattered around a dark room with black tile floors. There were patrons eating at a couple of the tables who looked like regulars. The size of the dining area made me think it would be a great place for a large gathering. I'm now wondering if they ever have live music and if they would be able to accommodate a large birthday party. There are a couple of picnic tables in the back, off the parking lot, where I ate my meal. I believe the notion of putting tables back there was more like an afterthought because it's not decorated and it's right along the back walkway from parked cars to the restaurant door. It's not regularly attended to, I guess, as there were remnants of another customer's meal at the other table. I also had the thought that it might just be a place for the employees to take a break and eat a meal in peace. Overall, I will be coming back and trying other menu items, baked goods and products from the other room.

Not only is she as beautiful inside as she is out, she's passionate about her culture and is bringing these much needed flavor profiles and Ukrainian dishes to Southern California--delivering from Los Angeles to San Luis Obispo even! From borscht soup and varenyky to stuffed cabbage rolls (and yes, I've tried nearly everything on her menu), every dish is fresh, flavorful, and made with so much love. My personal favorites and recommendations so far would be the Borscht soup, chicken kyiv, potato/fried onion varenyky, and for dessert, I'm simply addicted to their little honey candies. If you've been missing the flavors of home or simply want to explore something new and delicious, I can't recommend Ukrainian Flavors enough. Supporting small businesses like this one makes our community feel even more complete. You can place your orders online and they will deliver your goodies to you. Also, if you are a local, you can opt for free pickup in Camarillo outside of their commercial kitchen. Address provided after ordering or online. I'll be regularly stocking up on her meals, everything I've had here was delicious and I love knowing I'm supporting a small local business owner.

Service does, indeed, seem to be handled by a Mama and a Nona. Be patient, speak clearly.

Back then I was younger and on a budget, so I mostly stuck to a few lunch specials and never really explored the rest of the menu. That location has been gone for years, but recently I started going to the Old New York Deli in Camarillo. And now I'm realizing what I've been missing all these years. This is a real, old-school New York Jewish deli and bakery, and I've barely scratched the surface. Let's start with the everything bagels. They're in another class. You really can't compare a good New York-style bagel to something from the grocery store or even most of the bagel shops around here. The chew is different. They're moist, flavorful, and absolutely loaded with everything seasoning. I've been back several times now just to pick up a dozen. I used to think grabbing the double pack of bagels at Costco for six bucks was good enough. Nope. I'm ruined now. These are too good. I'll gladly pay more and actually enjoy the bagel. Then there are the apple turnovers. Astonishing. And the dessert counter is ridiculous. It's overflowing with pastries and desserts, and everything looks like something you want to take home. The staff has also been amazing every time I've been in. And I'm really just getting started. There are blintzes, all the deli classics, and a whole menu I somehow ignored when I was younger. Corned beef and pastrami are very high on my list for the next visit. My only disappointment is realizing I could have been enjoying this place for the last 25 years. I'll be back many, many, times.

Since we were already starving, we pivoted and just ordered drinks and baked goods. The drinks: I got the White Chocolate Mocha and it was delicious, perfectly sweet and smooth. My husband tried the Blended Mocha and said it was just okay (nothing special). The baked goods: The banana slice was really good, moist and flavorful. My husband grabbed the M&M cookie, but it definitely wasn't freshly made. It was still decent, just not amazing. On the plus side, we had no idea this bakery was so close to where we live! We'll definitely be back to give their breakfast and sandwiches a try, just next time we'll come with more patience and more time. Bottom line: Great drinks, good pastries, but factor in a long wait if you're ordering hot food. Worth a second chance for the full menu!

However, in my vast experience with delivery services, fast food, not-so-fast food and in eating, I find this place to be lacking. The sandwich was just OK, nothing special to report. The bread was blah, the meat seasoning was blah, the cheese was lacking. The sandwich is literally named a Philly CHEESEsteak, CHEESE come first. It is an important part of the sandwich. If I wanted a healthier version of a CHEESEsteak I would have ordered a steak sandwich with cheese added. In addition, where the F@#$ is the extra side of cheese for the cheesesteak that was lacking cheese. Now that the LACK OF CHEESE ON THE CHEESESTEAK, let's address the lack of steak on the cheeseSTEAK. The second item in the 3 item recipe. LACKING. I think you get the point.

And Tierra Sur is very vegan friendly - some dishes are vegetarian. Do let they know about allergies and restrictions and they'll do their absolute best to accommodate. Their Alexander Valley wines are some of my favorites for sure.
