I really wanted to love this spot. At first it felt like a hidden gem. Great flavors, good portions, no complaints. But the more I ordered, the more the quality slipped. Most recently, my carne asada burrito was mostly fat with barely any meat, and the flan was overcooked. At this point, the best thing here is the chips, which should not be the highlight. read more

Tried to give this place another chance, if you are used to actual Mexican food this is not it. I figured maybe the first time I tried it was an off day or something with the cook but NOPE. Serves me well lol I'll cook at home next time. FOOD IS BLAND, IF A LITTLE SALT IS ALL YOU NEED THEN GO FOR IT read more

Very Good Mexican food and drink; Restaurant is clean;/ spotless. No bar area; Wait Staff greeted us upon entering. Ambience is relaxed/casual; Parking can be a problem Limited handicapped parking available. read more

I've been few times to pick up a breakfast burrito, but everyone I spoke with seemed quite friendly and customer oriented. The burrito was delicious, and came with breakfast potatoes and cheese and served with side of homemade chips. I try to find breakfast burritos that include potatoes as most tacquerias will primarily add eggs to a standard burrito: beans rice eggs and meat. The interior does seem on the darker side- maybe an older style cantina. I would like to try their Happy Hour or dine in sometime in the future. It seems like the menu is a mix of homestyle Mexican and more 'American' options so it may be more family friendly. Perilla's is a great restaurant so it's nice to know that they are from the same restaurant family here. High Recommendation! read more

DV’s Mexican Grill - Taco-Tuesday at DV's with 3-shredded beef tacos & 1-ground beef taco. Must try. - Seafood Near Me - Ventura, California

Just had a serious taco breakthrough at D.V.'s Mexican Grill!We ordered two completely different styles, and they both absolutely blew us away:1 Slow-Cooked Beef Birria: Incredibly tender, juicy beef packed with rich flavor and loaded with melted cheddar cheese. Absolute perfection.2 Soft Grilled Fish Taco: Perfectly cooked, light, flaky fish nestled in a soft tortilla and topped with the yummiest salsa sauce. So fresh and delicious!If you haven't been here yet, you are seriously missing out. 10/10 will be coming back for more! read more

Very large amount of good beans. $7 for 4. Sauce was so so and the servers warned us it was spicy. We used the very delicious salsa. My only complaint is the cleaning with fabuloso while we were eating...kind of spoils the flavor. All in all the cbs were yummy! I also had the flat tostada and it was great! Crispy tortilla but not tough, plenty of beans, lettuce and cheese. The tomatoes were so tasty and really set the dish apart from others. Chili relleno was so so. I will go back for the tostada and cbs. They start cleaning the fabuloso while we were eating so I couldn't give 5 stars. The odor tainted the flavor of the food. read more

DV’s Mexican Grill - Corn burritos (corn tortillas with beans inside). - Seafood Near Me - Ventura, California

I've driven past this restaurant many times and I had no idea how good it was! My husband's friend recommended this place to us. First thing I loved about this place was how amazing their customer service was! Diego was our server and he was on top of things and always had a smile on his face. The food was so good! My husband and I ordered their molcajete which has plenty of food for two! It comes with beef, chicken, shrimp, nopal (cactus), cheese over a base of delicious salsa. We opted for hand made tortillas which is $1.50 more than regular corn tortillas to go with our meal. My daughter order their Mickey Mouse pancakes which came with bacon, sausage and eggs. My son ordered their grill cheese sandwich. They both liked their food, but wanted to eat from ours as well! The inside of the restaurant is a nice medium size restaurant with booths or tables. The decor reminds me of decor you would find somewhere in Mexico, it was beautiful. We'll be back again soon! read more

Food is great!!! I ordered aguachiles, amazing, couldn't get enough of them. Carne asada plate, the meat was tasty and juicy. The DV's enchiladas, super good with super tasty meat! Loved the ambiance, playing mariachi music the way a mexican restaurant should be. The service was amazing until she had to go on break and passed it on to another young lady, after that it was 20 minutes of being ignored. But everything is made up for it and we left satisfied to return again. read more

I was visiting Ventura and stumbled upon this restaurant, and let me tell you, I'm glad I did! Upon entering, you're immediately welcomed by the scent of delicious food being cooked, fun music, as well as the host. Staff is very friendly! We were welcomed to our table with some tasty chips and salsa. My partner and I decided to share the trio fajitas - asada, chicken, and shrimp, with a side of rice of beans. It was soooooo good! One of the best fajitas I've ever had. The portions were great and the flavor was amazing. I definitely recommend it. I believe our waitresses name was Danielle! Thank you for the great experience! read more

We wanted to try a New Mexican place in town and found this one on Yelp. DVs is a solid choice. I ordered the shrimp burrito and my partner had the cheese enchiladas. My burrito was quite large and tasted good. The enchiladas were super cheesy. The guac was a bit bland.. needed more spice. The restaurant had an old school, typical Mexican place vibe. Service was solid and friendly. read more

I love DV's. Great food, quick service. You definitely get your fill with the portion sizes.

I absolutely loved this place! They have plenty of parking outside and is a very large restaurant inside to accommodate busy crowds and large parties! They have beautiful decor inside with large benches. As soon as you sit down, they also bring you chips and salsa. Their portions are great as well because we started off with the carne asada nachos and once our main plate came I was already full which is not a bad thing. The nachos were very delicious and had a great amount of toppings from sour cream, jalapeños, melted cheese, and guacamole. I ordered the DVs enchiladas which are a mix of chorizo, potato, and chicken. They were so delicious that I could not stop eating them. The rice and beans were very tasty as well. Our service was excellent very attentive and friendly! This is a great place for families and they also have taco tuesday specials! Overall great and delicious place!! read more

SOLID MEXICAN JOINT IN VENTURA. Exactly the kind of place that I have been in search of since moving to Ventura county. Really good food at good prices, you just can't go wrong here. My partner and I came by on a Friday at 4pm and got seated immediately by our very friendly server. The kid was super nice and good at her job. She checked on us several times through out our meal and was just on it. We ordered the trio fajitas that came with a side of beans and rice to share and deep fried ice cream. IT WAS ALL SO GOOD AND OF GREAT QUALITY. The flour tortillas here are amazing. Made our meal perfect. Also, portions were huge for the price. We both ate and were stuffed. The menu had a huge variety including beer on draft. If your in the mood for some good Mexican food, please be sure to keep them in mind. You won't regret stopping by. read more

Oh! I love DV's! Go for Taco Tuesdays! I love their Bean & Cheese burritos. Don't ask me why. Nostalgia? Dreams of childhood? Perhaps. But they are really really good. I've been here about seven or eight times each time I try some thing new all of the food here is really great and I highly recommend coming in. They have a big restaurant and their food is delicious and it's great for parties too. They have a large menu and it is really great to eat here. It's nice. It's quiet and it's clean, very roomy. It's so much better quality food than the restaurant that used to be here. Check them out. read more

Este restaurante es fantástico!! This restaurant is fantastic!! Right here in Ventura. I can't believe we never knew about it until now. A new friend told me about it and we decided to go today and try it and oh man it was tasty. We had the molcajete (shrimp, beef, chicken, chorizo, cheese, nopales, chiles) and it was Mexican heaven. We also had their tortillas hechas a mano and a 1/2 liter Mexican Coke and it was great. Our server Diego was outstanding. He was very friendly, accurate, and quick. The ambiance is relaxing and inviting, slow Mexican music and beautiful wooden booths provide a nice and intimate setting. We'll definitely be back and if you are in the area, give them a try, I promise you won't regret it. read more

This was our first time trying DV's and won't be our last! We were big fans. The menu style and aesthetic reminds me of La Parilla (maybe same owners). The prices are great! Super affordable. We came for our Sunday brunch around 11am. We were sat right away and had to ask for breakfast menus. The omelette I got was delicious, meat lovers and it had a lot of cheese. The homes fries were good, potatoes needed more seasoning, but I like the bell peppers with a little crisp as they were. The chilaquiles were good, The asada and eggs on the chilaquiles were cooked perfectly. We ordered pancakes and they were very delicious, and without a big tab of margarine was nice. Overall we will 100% be back for the good quality food and low prices. Definitely try DV's and support local. read more

I had never heard of this place, and based on the great Yelp reviews, I gave it a try. I ordered my food over the phone to pick up at a later time. The guy was extremely friendly and thorough. When I got to the place, my food was hot, bagged and ready. The server (probably the same guy) was really nice. Top notch customer service. Ham breakfast burrito: Good size, no complaints. I would recommend. Barbacoa taco: The meat was flavorful, but the tortilla tore when I tried to pick it up. Overall, I would definitely go back. read more

GETTING HERE: DV's is literally located next to KD Village Donuts on Telegraph. Literally right next door. REVIEW: What an absolute hidden gem located in Ventura! I have driven past this location a zillion times and only just stopped. So happy to have finally entered the goodness that is DV's. Was in Ventura recently and plans had changed unexpectedly, so my guest and I decided to treat ourselves to an early brunch at DV's. They had just opened, which was fine as we were the only guests at this time. Our server was very nice and helpful and answered all our questions with ease. Basically, they were my questions about their Chilaquiles. :) We ordered an orange juice to share, and it was divine. Freshly squeezed that morning and served in a chilled glass. So fresh! I of course ordered the Chilaquiles, because yes. My guest ordered a Chile Relleno and Cheese Enchilada and she IN LOVE. IN love I say! :) All in all, I definitely recommend this place for amazing Mexican food. Great service and just such an enjoyable time and rest assured we will be back! Thanks! read more

Based on the excellent 4+ Yelp reviews we gave DV's a shot. Ample parking. Warm greeting. Nice quality seating with table or booth options. Quiet background music. Very kind and attentive service. Good selection of beer in bottles and on tap. Well, what about the food? Light and crispy chips and multiple salsa choices. We went for the basic popular entree menu choices, tacos and enchiladas with rice and beans. Everything was hot and delicious! Is this the best Mexican restaurant in all of the County, no it's not, but it's very very good and right up there! read more

I love the old-timey decor! The host took a while to show up and then longer to serve me. The food was fast once it was ordered. Flavors were ok, no nothing fancy, but at a good price f. I paid about $17 plus tip for three street tacos with standard sides and a fountain drink. The bathroom floor was dirty. read more

Wow! I now have a new favorite authentic Mexican place. My fiancé has been here before and he loves it and I just tried it and I truly think it's authentic food. Went on a Tuesday and they had taco Tuesday which they have two dollar tacos so we got to try all of them but the absolute favorite was the shredded beef. It's like a must try. Manuel was our server and he was outstanding, very kind and helpful. I really enjoy small mom and pop shops knowing that I'm helping a local. This is a must try place in Ventura and I highly recommend it and I will definitely return. Their salsa and chips were so good as well. Food came quick and ambience was amazing. Place was full of people, that makes sense with how great the place is and how wonderful the stuff are. Thank you for the great experience and I will return soon read more

We went fur the first time last night, the first thing we walked in and there was an overwhelming smell of fabuloso cleaner, it was so powerful, it was giving me a headache. When we went to order a drink, their mixed drinks are all wine based, which are horrible. We got our food, I did something very simple 2 beef tacos, the taco shells were store bought, which was a bummer, why do Mexican restaurants not make these home made anymore, but the beef meat wasn't all that great, I couldn't even eat both of them. My husband who usually lives everything unfortunately left very disappointed as well, he got a taco, chili relleno and enchilada and did not like it at all. Unfortunately we will not be going back here. Very disappointed. read more
