    Breakfast scramble with rice instead of beans
    Jerome A.

    Food is great . I usually just get breakfast here though. Even in the evenings. Service is quick, always correct, and they execute each dish superbly . Great atmosphere and able to accommodate large parties

    Shrimp Taco
    Alex G.

    I ordered the shrimp taco, and it was honestly one of the best I've ever had. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, and pairing it with their roasted salsa took the flavor to another level--absolutely amazing. On top of that, the service was great, attentive, and friendly. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to whenever I'm craving shrimp tacos!

    It's a spot on the small Channel Islands Campus. Picturesque. I got things to go. Very good taste. Excellent service. You get a disc that vibrates when your order is ready. The veggie burrito was really good and pretty big. Very fresh vegetables. I also ordered the fried zucchini. Had great flavor. Served on a small bed of cabbage and some mild chipotle and ranch were put in the bag. I think the ranch was the better of the two. I would suggest eating them there. The batter got a little soggy. But I did drive for about 15 minutes, after. The salsa bar is great. Many options and labeled well. Very clean environment. The indoor seating looked nice. The walls have interesting art. And the ceiling has good looking fans. I recommend this place. Definitely worth a try.

    Delicious food!!  Breakfast served all day!!

    Enjoyed a nice lunch with my daughter here. Went with the Cuban sandwich! Delicious! Also enjoyed chips and salsa from the fresh salsa bar. Beer and wine available after a long day of classes! Nice outside patio seating is where we posted up. Enjoy.

    Fried Zucchini
    Chris I.

    Location- On Cal State Channel Islands Campus and is only about 4 miles from the Camarillo Outlets. Parking- Easy as there is a large lot right there. Tip- Make sure to check the signs and do not mistakenly park where you need a permit. There are many spots that do not require a permit. Service- Friendly Food- Had the house special burrito. It was good and I would recommend. Fried Zucchini- It was light, crispy and delicious and I would get it again and recommend the chipotle dipping sauce.

    Cute small location near the university CSUCI! I had a chicken torta and oh gosh great flavors and was a good size. They do offer a full breakfast menu and lunch. They have multiple drink options such as piña coladas, beers, mixed drink, and regular sodas, jarritos and more. They have a full salsa bar. oh how can i also miss the options of Ice Cream posicles they have as well. They do have indoor and outdoor seating.

    Nachos with chicken. Crispy and fried fish tachos
    Emily L.

    This place is located in CUSCI in a nice courtyard area. The restaurant inside and the patio was clean with friendly and quick service. I took a star off as the nachos are your basic nachos, nothing really special about them but it will satisfy your nacho cravings. However, the grilled fish taco and the crispy fish tacos were fantastic. The fish didn't taste fishy which is a good thing in my opinion. The cilantro rice was nice and fresh. The salsa was super delicious with the perfect blend of fresh ingredients. All in all, I will be returning!

    Chicken Torta
    Lou H.

    This place is located in the CSUCI college market/dining area, across from the pizza place and what looked to be the bookstore. I actually thought it was student dining at first and asked a student if I was in the right place. There was ample parking at 5:00pm, and there were families dining, not just students, most likely from the surrounding apartments and townhomes. Prices are reasonable and the food was on par with what you would expect in any food court. My party had the kids meal which had sliced apples, carrots, and crispy delicious chicken tenders with ranch. The 2 shrimp tacos I'm told were good, and worth coming back for, while the salsas were all pretty flavorful, the green being my favorite. Now here's the bad, the chicken enchiladas were on the "favorites" list so I ordered them, that was a mistake. The chicken was a hard grilled chicken, and the red sauce tasted like it was right out of a can, they were actually still somewhat cold. The rice and beans were flavorless, not gross, but just devoid of any flavor. I could see the rice and beans on the fork, could feel them in my mouth, but alas there was no taste. Disappointed and not wanting to torture myself any further, I didn't finish one of the enchiladas and opted to order a chicken Torta in hopes of getting the taste of the enchiladas out of my mouth. The torta tasted fresh, and did a good job of making up for the enchiladas. The horchata was watered down, more of a horchata flavored water than what an horchata should be. Despite the watery horchata and cold hard enchiladas, I would come back. With fast friendly service, a clean restaurant, and a college atmosphere, it's worth stopping in for a quick bite if you're in the area. That's this critic's review.

    Love the vibe of this restaurant. Watched the dodger game which was a plus. Food was delicious and great selection of tap beers.

    Nothing really horrible to say about this place. Decent food, BUT...if your order a breakfast burrito & don't want bean & rice, they don't ADD more egg or substitute anything more. They give a specific amount of egg & portion size it. If your take anything out it's SHHHRINKS you're burrito so such the girl even told me it would be "Skinny" well here's my breakfast Burrito/Taquito.. I'll let you all be the Judge of this $7.00 Breakfast Burrito. Worth it?

The churros were incredible and just about made up for the whole thing. They do charge a little extra to use a credit card and although it's only 3%, it's a little irritating. It's 2026, no one carries cash, and I'm a patron who chose to dine with you over somewhere else. Put $0.50 on something to get rid of the fee at check out. It's not a good look.

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.

The decor is a blast from the past and looks like it did inside when I first stated coming here, so they haven't done much to the place but to me that gives this spot that old school charm. I personally love the old time decor and owls all around the restaurant. I find their booths to be cozy and comfortable. The menu is also pretty large with all of the classic dishes. The staff have always been nice when I've come in. They are attentive, friendly and the food is whipped up quickly. Happy hour menu seems to bring in the crowds but I do think there are other places with a happy hour menu that gives you more bang for your buck than here. The food is average in many ways but very comforting. Probably I'd rate all of the different dishes I've tried between 3.5-4 stars depending what you get. I really love their albondigas soup and that's one of my favs. Never steers me wrong. Also their crunchy shell tacos aren't bad. I came for a beef taco with rice and beans and was pleasantly surprised. This isn't Michelin star food people - just classic no frills Mexican food that seems to have kept them operating all this time, impressive if you ask me. My last pro tip is the margaritas are stellar. Huge fan of their mango marg and I'd come back for this alone. Just at $15 that's a little hefty for a hole in the wall spot like this. Same with the food. Two margs and two simple smaller main plates ran us $70 after tax and tip. Seems like it's hard to get a good deal nowadays but for keeping these local gems open, I'll always do my best to support.
