We love going to this place, we go on Saturdays around noon and wait time is very minimal at that time, they work fast. Amazing staff and great food!! Nice atmosphere and fast service, always! read more

I was staying in Oxnard with family and decided to check out this breakfast spot nearby since I've heard positive things about their cinnamon buns. The cinnamon bun french toast was SO delicious. I will absolutely come back next time I'm in town just to re-order this dish. Perfectly fresh and fluffy! I also ordered sausage and poached eggs as my sides for the combo, which were alright. The service was a bit slow because it was packed, which made sense since it was a Saturday morning rush. We had to flag down our waitress for the check, but she was very kind and sweet when talking to us. Overall, it was a nice family spot that I will be visiting again for their cinnamon bun entrees :) read more

Cafe Amri - Cinnamon Toast French Toast Combo - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oxnard, California

Delicious A delicious way to start your morning! We came the day after Christmas for breakfast/brunch with my family, and it was such a great choice. Everything we ordered--from the coffee to the food--was amazing (yes, even the coffee itself!). We ordered a variety of dishes so we could try a little bit of everything. My mom had the wet burrito with asada, and it was packed with flavor in every bite. My sister ordered the chilaquiles, which were extremely good--the sauce had a nice kick, and the bits of meat added even more flavor. My brother-in-law got the ribeye and eggs; the steak was cooked to perfection and seasoned beautifully. My boyfriend and I both ordered the fajita omelet, and we were not disappointed at all--the tri-tip was amazing, and the O'Brien potatoes were a perfect side. After our meals, we shared pancakes, and they were soooo good--super buttery and just made everything even better. Overall, the food was great. Our waitress was kind and helpful with everything we needed. We did have to send the food back once because it was a little cold, but that's understandable, especially since she was likely trying to bring everything out at the same time. Definitely a great, cozy place to come with family and friends. We'll for sure be back! read more

Felt like a Local... in a good way. Recommended by a Local, his fave for pancakes. Gotta agree on the buttermilk pancakes with crisp edges, light, fluffy cake, and generous fresh toppings. Warm service with a smile and thoughtfulness. The Hub recommends the California omelette topped with half an avo and cottage potatoes on the side. Try it, you'll like it! read more

IYKYK this is the brunch spot! There's a line depending on what time you get here. FOOD 4.5/5 Homemade cinnamon rolls = 5/5 - Soft, fresh and not overall too sweet - it's' perfect! Chile verde "wet" burrito = 4/5 - The verde sauce is delish! AMBIENCE 4/5 Great spacious spot and clean ambience. SERVICE 5/5 Awesome service and they consistently come around to ensure your coffee cup or drinks are topped off. Very attentive and friendly! PARKING 5/5 Easy parking esp since it's in a large shopping plaza read more

Charming neighborhood cafe with specialty drinks and standard American menu options. The country fried steak was slightly less than average for me. O'Brien potatoes were undercooked, there was a strong greasy flavor to the eggs, and one of my over medium eggs had popped in the plate, not allowing it to cook properly without being encased. Details that add up. Service was alright; need to check on patrons in addition to taking order and delivering. Likely a fantastic spot for locals, but I will be exploring other options in the area instead of returning here. The holiday decorations did catch my attention, though. They did a really nice job making the restaurant look festival in an elegant way. read more

Have been here for breakfast a couple times. Great big area, perfect for a family meal or going out with friends. Have only come here for breakfast. Good menu selection, and they have generous portions. The food is good, but the food is always a bit bland when I go. Favorite dish I've found so far, though, has to be their chilaquiles. Parking was easy - huge lot right out front. Wouldn't be my first choice for breakfast, but it's a solid choice when you're in the area. read more

I visited Café Amri about 10 years ago, and I remember absolutely hating it. The cinnamon rolls were terrible, the canned corned beef and hash were awful, and I didn't have a single positive thing to say about the place. Because of that experience, I refused to go back--until my wife convinced me to give it another shot while we were in the shopping center. I hoped they had improved over the years, and while parts of my meal were okay, I can now say for certain that I won't be returning again. For starters, the coffee was terrible. I'm not sure what they use, but it tasted like motor oil. The cinnamon roll? Still as bad as it was a decade ago. Knowing my expectations were low, I played it safe and ordered a simple chorizo and eggs with beans. The eggs and chorizo were okay--not great--but they ended up being the highlight of my visit. As for the beans? I took one bite and left the rest on my plate. They tasted awful. I didn't bother complaining because I doubted a second serving would be any better. I ate about half my meal and called it a day. I genuinely don't understand the allure or the glowing reviews. This is definitely not a breakfast spot I'd visit again. Maybe I'm just too picky, but when I'm paying $60-$70 for a simple breakfast for two, is it too much to expect a meal I can actually enjoy? read more

Cafe Amri has always been a place I've enjoyed going with my family. I understand the costs of everything have risen but $85 (before tip) for 3 people is insane for the quality of what you get. $6 for orange juice that is not freshly squeezed is just pure greed. And $20 for basic omelettes is steep. There are many other and better breakfast spots around, save your money and try something new. read more

This place has pretty good food, although in all fairness I thought it's a little pricey for the location and for what they have to offer. It's located in an office park so there is ample free parking. There didn't seem to be any other restaurants nearby, so perhaps that's the reason they charge a bit more. However, it's not totally unreasonable and the food is very good. I ordered the Mediterranean Turkey Burger for lunch, which comes with a choice of various sides. Nicely, they have several options such as fruit, cole slaw, etc, so you do not have to have french fries with your meal unless that's what you want. read more

Cafe Amri - Outside - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oxnard, California

Cafe Amri is located at the tiny Oxnard Outlet. Plenty of parking in the big lot. It's next door to Social Security Office & a private gym. Food was great & Customer Service was great too! Despite seeing many patrons waiting outside, we still put our name on the list. Anticipated & waited 25-30 mins on a Sunday morning. They close at 2pm, which is why they can be busy. They serve Breakfast & Lunch here, so lots to choose from. Breakfast portions are huge. After many years, I'll still order the Chicken Fried Steak & even the Chicken Chicken Fried Steak. It's a pretty heavy meal. Next time I'll definitely split a plate. Was craving some Fluffy pancakes, so that's what I got. read more

The food was not impressive at all. My French toast was so dry. It looked like they didn't want to use enough eggs. At the end, they really wanted us to leave and even tried taking my dish away while I was eating. read more

We're on the late train for trying this place! Everyone always talks about it but we never put it in our circulation. Until we finally did!! And let me tell you, we've been missing out!! It's our fave breakfast spot!! Husband says it's the best chicken fried steak he's ever had! I've done waffles, French toast and pancakes. It's all delicious!! Don't forget the cinnamon roll!! They are so good!! We go at least once a week if not twice! We went on Sunday and they had menudo. I was hesitant to try it and the waitress offered to bring me a sample of it!! She brought a small bowl of it and it was delicious and I ordered it. Love this place! read more

Friendly service with a family vibe. Spacious restaurant with its own style. Cafe Amri is a word play on their owner, Irma. This is a family restaurant through and through. I've tried a selection of their menu which has a mixture of your classic American with a bit of their take on Mexican cuisine as well. They serve breakfast and lunch. Their monte cristo and cinnamon French toast are a favorite!! read more

Food and services are always great. My favorite dishes are California omelette and ribeye steak & eggs.

Always friendly and always tasty! Spoke with Irma today and she's a delight! Hence the name Cafe Amri (Irma backwards). Came in to treat my mom to breakfast. Pretty busy crowd for a Friday morning. Grabbed some coffee and flavored creamer along with an order of chicken chicken fried steak. Never had that before only chicken fried steak before. But it was rich and delicious. Perfect gravy flavor and texture! Was surprised to see how busy it was for a Friday morning. It was a crowded house. But we were seated rather quickly and our food came out in good timing. This was the first time for my mom but she said she was ready to share with her friends. read more

Was traveling from Santa Barbara down south to Orange County on a Sunday, looked up some breakfast spots and this one caught our eye. Great little cozy spot, as soon as we stepped inside it smelled gooooood. The service was consistent and solid, but we noticed most tables had a plate of fried chicken. We ordered fried chicken & waffles, hash browns, and eggs. Delicious and filling. It didn't feel greasy and heavy after. If you're looking for a classic American breakfast, I definitely recommend this cafe. read more

Can you believe they added like $70 plus dollars to my bill didnt even see that you need to check your bill I almost walked out

Rainy day in the 805 and decided to catch breakfast at Amri's. The Owners are our neighbors and we have been coming here from the very start. Unfortunately today will probably be our last visit. The service was lacking from the jump. Orders were taken and drinks arrived. The Orange Juice that was served was bad (Spoiled). Had a really bad taste. The server asked if we wanted a refund right out the gate. we just were telling her before she served anyone else. She tood the juice and tried it herself and agreed it was bad. Then our breakfast arrived. Some were hot some were not. The potatoes were hard and uncooked. All minor things. However, with the price increase lets get it right or make an attempt to correct. Finally as we were wrapping up the bill I couldn't believe a 20% charge for a large group. It was just my family of six. Nothing special was given. But a $28.00 service charge. The server as she brought the bill stated you don't have to Tip me we already built it in. Well thanks. As if I was. $200 bucks for mediocre breakfast at best. too many options in the 805 to deal with this type of non-sense and greed. Tipping should be based on the service provided. Good or Bad and left up to the diner. Greed on the other hand is a direct reflection of the Business. Sorry, Irma (Amri's) you lost a loyal customer today. read more

Though not on the main menu, my FAVORITE is the "Cajun Flat Iron steak"...at $20.75 it is THE BEST "breakfast steak" out of similar breakfast steaks from other restaurants I go to. To me, it's like a little known secret for Cafe Amri. TRY IT... you won't be disappointed. read more

Café Amri was amazing, great food ( Steak and Eggs, WOW!) Great service, amazing service by Ana! The ambience was perfect. Great music great people I love it. Thank you! read more

When you turn a corner into an almost completely strip mall parking lot, one is wary. But also hopeful because you know the cars there came specifically to eat. In this case at Cafe Amri. Smart people! Service was excellent. They were busy but attentive. Thank you Joanna. The food was over the top delicious. I know it was over the top because my husband mentioned multiple times how good it was and gave, what for him, was a detailed review. Do not miss out an opportunity to eat here. We can't wait to visit Oxnard again so we can. read more

Whoever the lady was serving today around lunchtime was absolutely RUDE. Was not pleasant with my friend and I at all. If you don't want to work there, then please let someone else who will actually have a smile on their face while doing their job. I hope to never have to deal with this lady again. Had a crap look on her face the entire time and it was a hassle to get refills and any thing extra. Please figure it out. Rude lady. read more

Food is very average, nothing special. I had the huevos rancheros and the sauce tasted like ketchup. The menu is overpriced for the quality of the food, not going back there again. read more

I've been here many times before and recently was reminded on how I use to come here a lot . I've always received good and friendly service here. First time trying out a patty melt. Realized it's pretty much a cheeseburger but on toast lol. But the grilled onions and cheese pulled it all together. I love hashbrowns so I switched out the fries for them ! Came in last week and had their Machaca plate and that was on point ! Loved bell peppers and onions in it. Also had to have hashbrowns with that too of course. read more

Food and service is top-notch here! We always make it a point to dine at Cafe Amri whenever we are in Oxnard because we can count on our meal to be a pleasant and satisfying experience. We celebrated Father's Day with brunch today and we weren't disappointed in our choice of menu items this time around. I had the machaca plate, which had tender shredded beef scrambled with eggs, onions and peppers. The refried beans were definitely homemade and super tasty. My mom's favorite, the seared ahi salad was just gorgeous filled with fresh vegetables and a generous portion of avocados. The ahi was seared just right with a delicious seasoning on the crust. Everyone else ordered either the chicken fried steak (with chopped sirloin) or the chicken fried chicken served with a delicious gravy and some of the best hashed brown potatoes (perfectly crisped and seasoned). We'll be back as Amri never disappoints! read more

Chilaquiles were crunchy and the bacon crispy. What more can you ask for, well my server Jacqui was helpful and attentive! I had never been here before but will definitely be on my list for returning. It's next to SS office and very good parking with a comfortable environment. The only thing was I forgot to take a picture of my plate. A definite place for breakfast! read more

Great breakfast!!! The service was great and very attentive. Everything we go there is never a bad visit.

The service was good. The waitress was extremely sweet and attentive. However, the food was a little cold. The tortillas did not taste good, but it's more of an acquired taste. You are able to ask for regular tortillas, as I was told. The coffee was excellent. We were a large group of 15, which could be the reason why our food was kind of cold, the owner stopped by to make sure everything was good. and still, it was a good experience. Very nice place to celebrate a birthday or any kind of reunion. All the food was very good. read more

Service was a bit slow. Food wasn't as great. I believe the food was overpriced. We ordered chilaquiles that were dry and the red sauce wasn't that good. Also, fried chicken and waffle. Waffle was good. Chicken was seasoned and a bit overcooked. Just a bit sweeter than what I expected. Food was mediocre at best. Won't go back again. read more

Food was not fresh or homemade. You can tell it was canned sauces. The menudo was very bland. Not even tapatío, lemon, and cilantro could help it. Charged me 5$ for a Nesquik (chocolate milk), it was a small bottle. Ordered a hot chocolate and never received it. Our waitress never came around, couldn't ask for it. Overall service was not good. Price not worth the quality of food you get. read more
