Happy Friday! Working in Oxnard and needing a Lent friendly establishment I found myself at Sabor…read more What caught my eye immediately were the bright colors, artwork and decor. Not soon after, I was greeted with a warm smile. I decided to try each a fish and shrimp taco. Both were delicious but the shrimp may have been my favorite. And now I see they also have more premium fish options?? I need to come back. Nice service, tasty food and unique ambience. My type of place!

The gentleman I spoke to was very accommodating. I'm diabetic and my blood glucose was very high that morning so I couldn't have any carbs so I asked for an Asada plate with eggs and avocado. It was soooo good! Definitely will be back!

Service is always fast and professional, and the space has a fun local vibe -- from the colorful wall art to the fully stocked salsa bar that brings just the right energy.

Pretty much the only place that haven't tried in Oxnard city...until yesterday…read more Let's start with the chips and salsa...always a good indicator of things to come. Wasn't the best, but far from bad. The chips were in one of those steel machines to keep warm, they were thin, crispy, and light salt, the way ALL tortilla chips should be. But they were a bit oily only negative. The salsa was cantina style seemed homemade, was good, zero spice/mild. (B+) Combo fajitas (friend order) it was a good tasting with a terrific plate of guac, pico, refried beans, and shredded cheese. Heck, you couldve made a meal from just the side plate wrap em up call it a veggie fajita party. Very filing and good (A-) Other friends had carne asada burrito, and a steak plate, both happy so assuming they are good. Service was outstanding by several individuals; checking in on order, refilling drinks, cleaning table, all workers are terrific and polite. I was ready for the 5-star goldenrod Neptune-trident throwdown, but my order, the torta (D-) was a complete trainwreck. Al pastor and a torta; took a double-jeopardy style gamble and crapped out, snake eyes big time. The bread was abysmal/ not fresh, the al pastor was ice cold and not memorable, meat fused to a cold hardened melted gooey cheese; send it back, replaced with carne asada, still came back cold (just don't get it.) so that item alone dragged it down a star. I was so full from the chips and salsa, sampling friends' food, and the side order of clam chowder (yes, in a Mex restaurant a first for me, was smoky and quite good too! (A-) that I just picked off some of the cold beef and ate that without the bread. Would I come back? Well, when seaside, I usually crave seafood like a nice fish n chips or something, but if I am ever craving Mex, will bring wife and son. Just will not touch the torta with a diez-foot pole amigo. They also have a salsa bar upon entrance which I completely forgot to pound once food came, shame on me once.

The interior of the restaurant is very bright and spacious with lots of Baja California decorations. Very lively atmosphere. Also had a bar that looked very well stocked. The service was quick and polite and very helpful. I ordered the all fried fish. The fries that came with it were a little cold and old, but the fish was solid. Could've used a little bit more seasoning, but what do you expect from a fried whole fish. The salsa came with was solid. My wife got the seafood stew. She absolutely loved it.

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 came in for Taco Tuesday and, honestly, it was a bit disappointing. The setup felt very…read moreunorganized from the start. They ask how many tacos you want before you even get to the taco bar or see the meat options, which made the whole process confusing. They did have a decent selection of meats like chicharrón, potato, asada, barbacoa, lengua, and pastor, but the portions were pretty small. On top of that, they were out of basic toppings like onions and cilantro, which is kind of a big deal for tacos. Sides like rice, beans, or corn on the cob are an extra $3, which didn't really feel worth it given the overall experience. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely didn't live up to the hype. I probably wouldn't come back specifically for their Taco Tuesday. Happy Cinco de Mayo

I'll drive a whole ass hour to get here for incredible seafood tacos. Also easy parking, the guava marg was amaze, and the service was so prompt and kind.
