For scale: that's a full-size cell phone... and three full-price carne asada tacos ($10).
Jana F.

Beach House Tacos? More like Beach House Snacks. I stood in line for 15 minutes just to place my order at the window, then waited another 45 minutes for my food. 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.

Beach House Tacos was a revelation. I didn't have huge expectations since it's a cute, small stand on the beach. The menu is simple and straightforward. I thought the tacos would be decent, had a good attitude coming here, but boy, what a nice surprise this place was! Small line in front, you order, pay, go inside, wait for your order at pick up window. Simple! Tables on the pier, and they have a patio facing the ocean, nice view. Picnic tables! They sell wine, beer, margarita-s. Great selection! But the tacos!!! We got 4 between me and my husband to share and sample: Baja Taco (got fried fish) had fresh ingredients, lettuce and a nice lime flavor! Beach House Tacos (got grilled fish), nice pineapple salsa, tender fish, nice sauces and lettuce. Calamari Taco - fried calamari - fresh avocado and cabbage, nice sauce - chipotle. Marilu Taco with popcorn shrimp with nice chile lime crema, not too spicy. Even the fried seafood here is fresh, not very fried, just a tad, nice and crispy, but not greasy. Loved every taco, they are all different than each other, they use fresh ingredients and vegetables, each had a great, original flavor, they don't skimp on anything - seafood or ingredients. By far, some of the best tacos I ever had, they go in my Top 5. 4 Tacos (they are big!) are enough for 2 people. My and my husband we also shared a portion of guac and chips, they reminded us of Mexico. The guac had a lime flavor and well mashed, the tortilla chips are thicker and extra friend. Great food, nice service, unpretentious taco stand on Ventura Pier. Nice views. Wonderful discovery and a nice place to eat at! I am a fan!

Super cute taco spot on the pier! We went for their happy hour and got half off on the fixed happy hour menu (no drinks on happy hour though). Tried their crispy fish taco and potato taco, both were super flavorful and loved the loaded veggies. The potato taco is a great find for vegans, and it was super tasty! The view is also amazing!

Best fish tacos I have ever had, and I've had a few! They have daily specials but I recommend the Beach House Taco (fish, grilled or fried, cabbage, mixed greens, roasted red chili crema, pineapple salsa, and onions). So big you can't get your lips around it .

Iced tea
Jenny T.

I love this place! They have the best tacos and are located right on the pier. The employees are always cheery and prompt with their service. When I come I get their iced tea and Baja tacos. My partner gets the seafood burritos. They are reasonably priced and they even have a free water station. There is only seating outside so be sure to come on a day when the weather is good. There is also a public restroom nearby. Perfect place to grab a bite to eat then go out for a stroll on the pier. We look forward to coming back soon once the weather is nicer. :)

Shrimp Baja taco and Calamari taco with Agua Fresca
Sara B.

I have lived here almost 2 years now and finally ate here last weekend. I ordered a calamari taco, Baja taco with grilled shrimp and an aqua Fresca. My favorite was the calamari taco. It was HUGE and stuffed with so much calamari that I had to grab a fork; yes folks it was that overstuffed! The Baja shrimp taco could use some lessons from the calamari one because I could hardly locate the shrimp, it honestly was mostly cabbage. Get the calamari taco, you won't regret it.

(+) Diverse ingredients, interesting menu... you'll find something you like among their tacos, burritos, desserts and specials (+) Location is on the pier at the top of the stairs, accessible and easy, public restrooms nearby, casual spot (+) Giant water dispenser and water bowl for dogs (+) Brunch and agua frescas (+) Vegetarian friendly

Taco, fried banana

This is the third time I have ordered the fried fish tacos and they are using cheap corn tortillas! You are paying $7.50 for one taco and they are just falling apart when you try to eat them. These tortillas are cheaper than Vons brand tortillas! Get the thicker tortillas. There are a bunch of places you can buy them. I'm not going back until they do. And I used to go there for my birthday...

This is slightly larger than a shack. Came highly recommended. And we were mid afternoon. They have a nice little happy hour menu. So we were able to get five dollar grilled fish tacos. They give you cups for water, and they're very nice the window. There is a small area that you can eat inside that somewhat protected. And a number of outside tables. We opted to walk down the pear a bit and get a table there which was really really nice. The tacos were really good. As long as you like coleslaw which I do. There's a lot of slaw over a very tasty piece of grilled fish that has some chili tartar sauce on it and it's very lightly spicy. The salsa was a big hit. A little spicy yes but it's a brown salsa that has a lot of vegetables in it which we liked a lot. The chips were a bit thick for me. Because we came middle of the afternoon we suspect that they've been sitting a bit. I wasn't a fan but my friend loved them. Definitely would return.

Elote fries Taco Plate asada
Erin W.

Always a solid choice. Tacos on the beach, what could be better? Street taco trio is only $6 during happy hour Mon-Fri. Order at the winwdow, get some water and they call your number. Perfect view, tall cold agua fresca, variety of beers and seltzers. Elote fries are off the chain, and don't forget their yummy churro donuts for dessert. Genuinely hope this place stays open forever!

Beach house taco, Baja taco, grilled shrimp burrito, calamari, chips and salsa
Mary K.

I really enjoyed this spot! The food was very flavorful and generously portioned. The calamari was one of the best I've had and I loved the chips and salsa, I just wish the salsa was spicier. I got the fried fish option for both of my tacos and it was perfectly crispy. The only thing I didn't like was the spring mix on the beach house taco. I just wish the tortillas were more soft and thin. The Baja taco had a lot of cabbage on it so I took the spring mix off and put some of the cabbage on that and it was good! The burrito was great too the shrimp almost melted in your mouth. Their Jamaica was refreshing. It's on a beautiful pier and plenty of seating. I would totally come back here!

Breakfast Burrito
Monica N.

LOVE beach house tacos. You can order online or phone it in ahead of time. I usually walk over from downtown or park in the structure near the pier. Favorites: Baja taco (grilled or fried!) - lots of cabbage and sauce Salmon taco - nice portion of grilled salmon Crunchy beef tacos Breakfast burrito - nicely grilled with well seasoned potatoes (anddd it comes with avocado!) Great customer service every time.

Hello again Beach House Tacos! I thought after over 9 years of not going to your establishment I thought I would make amends for the pitiful review which I left all those years ago. It had been time. Wars were fought, a pandemic ravaged the land, an insurrection was attempted and we got gaslit to think it was a fun organized tour of rambunctious older white males that thought they were going to a matinee of John Wick. I know my bitter review was left in haste because I was still grieving from Harambe's death. Plus, it was a beautiful sunset at the pier so I was about time to bury the hatchet. IT. WAS. TIME. I walked up and there was NO LINE! What fortune for me! The gods were ready for me to come up and enjoy a great meal and not have to wait the hour I had to endure which ended in Beach House keeping my money and I left empty handed (see original review) I was ready finally make peace with Beach House. I sat there at the window for a few minutes, nobody came. A young couple stood behind me and waited with me. This guy looks at me from inside and give me the "wait one mintute" finger and walks away. Ok, I'll be patient. It was late and he was probably the only one working. He wasn't. A few more minutes passed and the couple behind me gave up and left. The finger guy looks at me and says something to another worker who blankly looks at me, then goes to another register and starts playing around with it instead of trying to take my order. That's it. I'm done. If I had a sawsall I would have cartoonishly cut the wood around Beach House Tacos let it break apart into the ocean and let it sail into the sea. I'm never again going to this mess of an establishment.

My friend and I decided to meet here for happy hour, and it ended up being a great choice. I'd been…read morehere before, but only in the morning for matcha, so this was my first time experiencing their happy hour. The happy hour menu has a great selection of both food and drinks at really reasonable prices. We ordered the chicken tacos, the spinach and artichoke dip, and a drink, and everything was delicious. The tacos were flavorful, the dip was creamy and perfect for sharing, and the drink hit the spot. Service is pretty straightforward you place your order at the counter, and someone brings everything to your table. 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. We had a spacious table with plenty of room for our food and drinks, which made it easy to relax and enjoy catching up. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back for happy hour. It's a great spot for good food, reasonably priced drinks, and a casual place to meet up with friends.

Ten Tigers is off the beaten path and I've met friends here for coffee but after 4:00 it transforms into Ten Tigers. Hubby read about their Smash Burgers so we split one and the flavors with chipotle aioli were the bomb! We've been going to Third Window in SB for our Smash Burger fix- no need to drive all that way anymore!! For $17 you get a Smash Burger that feeds 2 and perfectly crispy thin fries fried in beef tallow. They even serve chipotle aioli with fries- Best!! 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 also have to give a huge shoutout to Dre, who was an amazing host! I loved how he took the time to explain the whole concept behind the restaurant and share the family background. You can really feel the love and passion behind this place, and that made the experience even more special. I absolutely love supporting local, family-owned businesses, and this one is officially my new favorite! The vibe is so cute, CLEAN and homey--perfect for a girls' night, date night, or just a night out with good food and good company. Definitely can't wait to come back!

7.8/10 Another tiki lounge for the books! We sat outside,…read morewhich was really nice since the weather out here in Ventura is so good. The inside is pretty cool too: very eclectic and unique, with a lot of stuff hanging from the walls and Polynesian influence all around. Even the light fixtures are really unique and pretty. The one letdown was the bathroom: just plain white walls. So disappointing! Most tiki lounges I've been to go all out in the bathroom, so I was a little let down. Hopefully they change that someday. I got my original, the Zombie, my normal go-to tiki drink. It's pretty strong, an 8.9/10 for strength, and a little more bitter than other Zombies I've had. It comes in a super cute glass that looks almost like the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and honestly, I really wanted one just for the glass. It also comes with a whole interactive experience: the staff yelled "Oh my god, there's a zombie! Kill the zombie! Stab the zombie!" and I had to stab the flaming lime sitting on top of my drink. Everyone was screaming, and it was really fun. They did it every time somebody ordered one, and I thought it was hilarious. The menu is really eclectic with a lot going on: full meals, ahi tuna, salads, bowls, sushi rolls, appetizers, and sliders. We ordered the Spam musubi, my favorite. I don't know what seasoning they use, but the Spam was super tasty. I do wish the slice was bigger to even out the rice-to-Spam ratio, since there was a lot of rice. 8.9/10. We also got the salad with ahi tuna, which was really good. The ahi was a little more well done than I would've wanted, but still very tasty. They were out of the miso ginger dressing, but the vinaigrette was actually my first choice anyway, and it was really good. I just wish they'd put a little more on, since it would've added a lot of extra flavor. The size was a little disappointing, though. Service was really good. Luckily, we were seated pretty fast, and our server was really friendly and nice, checked up on us, and was a super cool guy. My only thing is the pricing on something like the salad. It was a very simple salad, just greens, tomatoes, onions, and mango, and $18 seemed like a lot for that. With the added ahi it came to about $30, which felt a little steep. Overall, 7.8/10. It wasn't a bad tiki lounge, but it also wasn't my favorite out of all the ones I've been to. Still a fun spot with a great vibe, a strong drink, and an interactive experience to go with it, and I'd like to go back and try more of the menu.

Color me shocked that I had been to Ventiki numerous times and I have yet to submit a review!…read more Typically we hit up Ventiki when we watch a show at the Majestic Theater since it's within walking distance. We love the decor and the menu has refined to some tasty top hits. One of my favorite shareable is the Spam Musubi along with the potstickers. I haven't had a bad drink yet at Ventiki but my go-to is Cobra's Fang. I'm not a light weight but the drinks here tend to be on the stronger side. Usually two cocktails get's me just lubed up enough to enjoy a show at the Majestic. Strongly recommend Ventiki to any tiki heads out there. Good food and great drinks!

On a Thursday night it was pretty dead but we didn't mind, WE ARE the party! The restaurant/ bar is surprisingly spacious which wasn't outright apparent from the outside. Once you walk in there is a nice long bar on the right hand side. A couple of booths and plenty of tables. It was actually a lovely evening (plus our group gets loud & rowdy) so we decided to sit outside on the high top patio table. It was perfect as it could fit the seven of us no problem. Initially i worried how service would be as we were alone on the patio but immediately my concerns went away as we had a fabulous bartender named Jordan helping us out. Despite making the drinks inside and engaging with customers at the bar, he was very attentive to our outside patio group. The drinks were brought out at an impressive pace and we felt valued as customers. Jordan gave great suggestions for shooters for us to try and also was overly accommodating, by allowing us to all pay separate/individual checks per our request. I grow to appreciate that more nowadays because some businesses do give patrons a hard time about splitting tabs. I was grateful despite being a big group he was willing to accommodate us. We only came for drinks, so I can't speak for the food but this spot is a solid bar. They have some interesting cocktails and I liked that they had a couple of shooter/shot options. Good selection of beer and even some wines. I really enjoyed both my Mexican candy shot and the purple heater shot that Jordan recommended for me and a friend. Drinks were cold and they kept flowing. Easy to give this spot 5 stars as the service was good, atmosphere was welcoming, and reasonable prices for being on Main Street. I'd definitely come back and would be happy to try some appetizers next time to see how the food is. My only baby upgrade is that the patio cushions on the chairs need a good wash or to be replaced. Otherwise everything else was clean from the tables, to the bar area, to the restrooms etc. The patio just needs a tiny bit of TLC which a couple of us noted. We had a great experience here though and I'm glad we stumbled upon this spot.
