David was absolutely wonderful! He was incredibly polite, friendly, and attentive throughout our entire experience. He always had a smile on his face and made us feel very welcome. He also recommended an excellent option that we really enjoyed. Amazing service. Thank you, David! read more

We came out to enjoy a quiet evening celebrating a birthday. The service was great, our server David was attentive , kind and cared to enhance the evening with sharing his favorites on the menu aiming towards a great food experience. We will certainly return again. The views were lovely. read more

Mary is amazing!!! Everything she recommended was freaking good and we had more! Thank you. We will definately be back!

I met a friend here to catch up, and we were seated in a comfortable couch area with a table in front of us. We visited on a Wednesday, so it wasn't overly crowded aside from a large birthday party. We were also able to enjoy beautiful sunset views, which is a huge part of the vibe before dark. The food was delicious! We ordered the baby corn and carne asada fries, and both dishes were incredibly flavorful. Our drinks were also excellent. I don't recall the name of mine, but it was a refreshing melon-flavored gin cocktail. Our waiter (so sad I can't recall his name) was exceptionally warm and friendly, which is always such a pleasant surprise. I hope they continue to hire quality servers who provide this level of welcoming service. My only suggestion would be to add a Happy Hour menu (please!), as I truly believe it could help liven up business throughout the week. It would also be a nice touch to have some classy background music--perhaps neo-soul, modern jazz, or classic soul--even if it's simply played through the sound system but live music would be the cherry on top! Overall, I would definitely recommend this venue for meeting friends or hosting a gathering. read more

Such a cute rooftop bar with a really inviting atmosphere! The vibes were great, and it was the perfect spot to hang out and enjoy the evening. Our server....amazing! super friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. The food was delicious and definitely one of the highlights! The drinks were okay. The cocktails had good flavor, but they were a little overpriced for how light they were.. you probably won't be catching much of a buzz. Overall, we had a great experience and really enjoyed the atmosphere, food, and service. Definitely a fun rooftop spot to check out! read more

Came here with a group of friends for a work event. Love the view from here. we don't have many places like this in Ventura. I think food was good. Tried the tri-tip and the chicken skewers. The tri-tip was good. The beans were good and the mashed potatoes was good as well. The salad that was similar to Caesar salad was good as well. For the drinks, we didn't try many options as the only available options were margarita, beer, or wine. I think the margarita was just okay. We'll probably try other drinks next time. Service was good. Parking was difficult as it is shared with Other stores and hotel Will return again to try more dishes, and drinks read more

What a beautiful new spot! It didn't feel like Oxnard at all, but it did, just elevated...literally! I'm so grateful for this opportunity to have our own rooftop gathering spot, so for location and experience alone this place is a solid 5 stars!! We went at night so the city lights were on and the scene was amazing. To the left of the entrance is facing the collection where it's quieter than the right side facing the freeway. Both are great spots however and kept warm with the heaters. I was truly transported. The food is good, and our chips and salsa trio is worth a try- that strawberry salsa? What a unique and fun dish. The chips were memorable too and I'll be excited to have those again. We tried the Ventura burger and it wasn't bad, but also not super flavorful either. Overall the food is a 4 star cantina for me, and I'm excited to come back and see how the menu grows and evolves. The decor and vibe is great and the service is amazing. If I were still coordinating business meals and stays, this would be my new top spot. I can't wait to take friends and family and show my city off via this rooftop. Oh, and you know me, I always have to check the bathrooms out too and theirs didn't disappoint either! Be sure to check this spot out soon! Okay thanks bye! read more

Ventura County's 1st rooftop restaurant is definitely a spot to check out. The restaurant is nicely decorated and gives a fun outdoor vibe. I shared a couple of dishes with a friend and really enjoyed them all. The baby corn elote was so good! The crispiness was perfect. I also had never tried asada fries with sweet potato fries as the base and I gotta say, it's a must! Service was friendly and prompt. Bring a sweater cause it gets windy up there. It was a fun experience for sure and would go back. read more

I've read so many different review and opinions but I'll say as someone who has spent years running around and dining in LA this def made me feel like I was there at a local spot here in Oxnard, views were cool, service was fantastic and quick and very attentive and polite We shared fajitas steak and chicken that were delish, we got the aguachiles and I got a yummy mocktail that almost tasted like a real one lol Over all lived the music they were playing, loved the aesthetic and the vibes at sunset read more

The rooftop atmosphere here is what first drew me in, and it definitely delivered. With great views, a fun cantina vibe, and genuinely friendly, attentive service, it was an enjoyable place to spend the evening with friends. Unfortunately, there were a few issues with our visit. It was a warm day and there were no umbrellas at the tables that we were seated at. This left us baking in the sun and most people were using their menus as shade to cover their faces. Luckily we were able to sit in the area that had coverage, but just be aware it's a limited seating area. I recommend when making a reservation, to ask to be seated in the shady area. Especially if you're sensitive to the sun. It was also extremely windy on our visit. I know that's out of the restaurants control, but just be aware that wind is a factor too. Could be why they don't have umbrellas. Also, the pricing took away from what could have been a standout experience. I ordered just one appetizer and one cocktail, and my total came to around $50 before I even considered the automatically added gratuity for our party of four. While I understand rooftop venues often come with premium pricing, I personally didn't feel the portion size and overall value justified paying $60 after tax and tip. The $18 cocktail I had was served in a small plastic cup and barely tasted like it had alcohol in it. The asada fries were decent, but the fish tacos were my favorite here! Perfectly seasoned and the fish was delicious. The tres queso fundido is also a great appetizer to try. Highly recommend those! The service was excellent, and the atmosphere made for a fun night out, but the pricing left me questioning whether I'd return. If value is important to you, it's something to keep in mind before visiting. Overall, it was still an enjoyable experience despite the cons and I'm glad we finally got to check it out. read more

Flora Loca Rooftop Cantina is Oxnard's newest rooftop hotspot and the girls and I finally checked it out for a much needed girls night. First things first...they absolutely nailed the space. It's a tropical little oasis with fun, vibrant decor, views, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay for "just one more drink" (at least that's what we found ourselves saying all night). Speaking of cocktails...I was genuinely impressed by the drink menu. I ordered the Flora Loca Margarita and if you love guava, this one's for you. It was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and basically made for warm summer nights. 10/10. For my second cocktail I tried the Ube colada and it wasn't quite what I thought it would be (was picturing more a frozen colada drink) 7/10. As for the food...we didn't leave a single crumb behind. Our favorites: Tempura Elote Bites - Easily my favorite dish of the night. Lightly fried, packed with flavor, and paired with the most incredible sweet corn cream dipping sauce. 10/10. Sweet Potato Asada Fries - Our server Alex suggested swapping the regular fries for sweet potato, and that was 100% the move. Such a fun twist on a classic, and the asada was incredibly flavorful and cooked perfectly. 9/10. We had a couple of different mains and I ordered the chicken adobo burrito. It was definitely good and packed with lots of toppings but for over $20 I would rather stick to a local taco shop burrito. 7/10. Yes, we managed to rack up quite the bill, Over $200 for three gals but after multiple rounds of cocktails, appetizers, entrees, hours of nonstop yapping, and rooftop views overlooking Oxnard, I'd say it was worth every penny. Lastly, I have to give a huge shoutout to our server, Alex. She was absolutely phenomenal. Every recommendation she made was spot on, and you could genuinely tell how passionate she is about both the menu and creating a great experience for her guests. She made an already amazing night feel extra special, and that's something you don't forget. If you're looking for a fun girls' night, date night, or bar spot, definitely add Flora Loca Rooftop Cantina to your list. Just be sure to make a reservation so you can snag one of the best rooftop tables available, those without reservations had to opt for the bar or were told table waiting time was 1 hour + but of course we came prepared and got one of the best seats in the house to people watch and with views! read more

I went with my amiga on a Friday night and the food/drinks were a 5/5. Highly rec the short rib mole and asada fajitas! The spare rib mole is different and tasty. My only critic were the tortillas. I didn't love the flavor but it's a matter of preference. Portions are great. My friend and I had leftovers. Drinks are refreshing and around $15- 18. They treated us to a birthday dessert (horchata ice cream) as we were celebrating a belated bday. It was gloomy, however love being able to enjoy a night out up top of our beautiful City of Oxnard! Chill vibes and amazing service. Shoutout to Marc & Brigette! Our original server at the bar wasn't attentive but other staff made up for it. We did not experience slow service at all. Make reservations as we almost didn't get a spot as everything was reserved for the night. Thankful there were two seats for us at the bar Oh & take a jacket, it gets chilly! If you're a true Oxnardian ... you know Oxnard nights are often cold. We are always prepped. If you don't take a jacket though ... they have clean blankets they let you borrow. There's heaters up above and to the sides too. This place is just so vibrant! So happy we have a rooftop cantina! Love it! Since visiting Mexico City and experiencing rooftop.. cantinas, churro shops, brunch spots .. etc I was sooo happy when I heard Flora Loca was opening. We better support it, so it stays in town/open. Also .. not because it is Mexican food it has to be cheap. It's on top a of hotel and typically, hotel restaurants are a bit more or pricer but I don't think Flora Loca is insanely expensive. We didn't have to pay for parking & we had no problem finding a spot. A note for those of us that find joy in everything ... yes there's a freeway but the sunset is gorgeous. The view of the city ahead and life happening around us is beautiful. You can focus on being a bug or Debbie Downer or enjoy the beauty and rhythm of the life we get to live :) Anywho ... Check it out! read more

Flora Loca Rooftop Cantina - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

I was super excited to try this place, and even more thrilled to discover it was officially open during my birthday weekend! Flora Loca is located on the rooftop/5th floor of the SpringHill Suites in Oxnard. Although we didn't have a reservation for early Friday evening, we were seated immediately. Crystal, our server, was phenomenal in expressing her approval of the food and drink we ordered, letting us know how much she enjoyed it. She also checked on us several times throughout the meal to see if we needed anything. We ordered the baby corn elote, fajitas for two (adobo chicken and carne asada), plus the flora loca and carried away cocktails. The fajitas came with rice and beans, plus a strawberry-infused salsa on the side. The adobo chicken was a bit dry, but the carne asada was seasoned perfectly and tender. The strawberry salsa gave the fajitas a nice little kick in taste. The rice also complimented the fajitas, but the black beans seemed to be lacking in flavor. The flora loca margarita and carried away cocktails were fruit-forward and refreshing. My favorite part of the meal was the baby elote, topped with mayo, house-made corn sauce, and other toppings. I loved this so much that I had to make sure my husband and I enjoyed an equal split of the baby corn so one person didn't have more than the other. Apparently, my protests of "but it's my birthday weekend" were met with protests about the fact that we were having other meals over the next few days in honor of my birthday. I tried, though, to sneak extra corn when my husband's head was turned to no avail. I would 100% reorder this as an appetizer. Finally, when the servers found out I was celebrating my birthday, they brought us horchata ice cream for dessert. Now, I've never had the pleasure of eating horchata ice cream, but wow, it made my mouth water. It was that good. Even now, my mind is flashing back to eating baby corn elote and horchata ice cream, and I wish I could travel back in time to relive those moments. Understandably, Flora Loca may be overlooking the freeway, the Chick-fil-A, and some other mundane locations, but I don't care. It's something new in Oxnard, and a rooftop view is better than a basic view on the ground. I'm very thrilled to welcome you to Oxnard, Flora Loca! read more

Flora Loca Rooftop Cantina is located on the 5th floor of Springhill Suites and has a gorgeous view during golden hour. We stayed at the hotel here and was happy to hear they had on-site dining. So we made reservations and headed up to the 5th floor. They say there's a Dress Code but I came in the clothes I drove in, which were comfy joggers and a long-sleeved tee. Flora Loca has a vibrant atmosphere with lovely colors and upbeat lounge music. We also had wonderful service from the host at the greeting stand and our server. They even asked if we wanted blankets to keep us warm, which we accepted. Because we drove a a couple hours, we were starving. We ended up ordering a few things from their menu but were left disappointed for most of the items. Here's what we ordered: * Baby Corn Elote: I must have misunderstood what I read from hinger because I was expecting small cuts of actual corn on the cob. When it came out, I laughed a little thinking how I could have misunderstood "baby corn" elote for baby "corn elote". Well, I'm not a fan of baby corn to begin with so I immediately had flashbacks of canned baby corn flavor. I will say, though, a squeeze of lime juice enhanced its flavor. * Pollo Purepecha - This was my dish and I was hoping it would be as good as it sounded. It was just okay. The chicken was a little on the dry side and the flavor of the rice was just okay. It came with the same cream sauce that was paired with the baby corn elote. The cream sauce was good though. * Fajitas for Two - Our party had ordered this in the carne asada steak and Maitake mushroom. The steak was better than the mushroom. The mushroom had a burnt taste and not the typical Maitake I'm used to. I'm guessing it's what they marinated it in - it just wasn't working for any of our palates. Being so delicate, I would've preferred it prepared more simply with either olive oil or butter and sea salt. Impressively, it came with a bunch of sides such as rice, guacamole, beans, and red and green salsas. * Mole Short Rib - This was the best dish our party ordered. The mole was super tender and the mole sauce was perfectly done and not overly salted. However, it was paired with the same rice and beans used in the other dishes. It's a shame we didn't enjoy the food - especially as we all came hungry. However, we did enjoy watching the sunset and all the cars driving by the 101 freeway. Surprisingly, it wasn't too breezy up on the roof. Overall, we really enjoyed the ambiance here and the wonderful service but, because we came hungry for dinner, we didn't feel satisfied. Luckily, there are other food options in the area. This is a great place if you like a great view and perhaps grab some drinks. They also have a television at the bar. I did love their branding and design so good job to Flora Loca with that. I wouldn't mind coming back again for the ambiance. read more

If you didn't already know, Flora Loca is officially open. When Oxnard gets something shiny and new, the word spreads quickly. The anticipation for the arrival of its first ever rooftop patio lounge has been the talk of the town for months. This place is magical and not just for the views. Unless you were ever lucky enough to get a view out of the now closed Tower Club, this may be the second best thing. We had a Friday evening reservation for 6pm so we could check out the sunset. We are very familiar knowing how the winds can pickup so close to the riverbed and deeply appreciate the accommodations for heaters and blankets for the patrons from the staff. We ordered cocktails and appetizers based on our servers recommendations. Signature cocktails: La Flora Loca Carried Away Desert Rosado Sour For food we ordered a variety to share: Baby Corn Elote Spicy Tuna Tostada along with Entrees:Pollo Purépecha Mole Short Rib I was impressed with the level of service we received in addition to the quality of food and drinks. Our server Alexandria was extraordinary. Highly recommend to check out this unique new addition to our area. But be warned, they are enforcing a dress code and reservations are highly recommended. Thank you Shaun and Dylan for taking the time to speak with me. I'm so excited to see what's to come! Looking forward to returning to check out the view of the Channel Islands on a clear day! read more

Flora Loca Rooftop Cantina - Short rib mole - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

Celebrated my birthday at Ventura County's newest rooftop gem, Flora Loca, and I am officially obsessed! The views are gorgeous, and the vibrant, warm atmosphere (complete with fire and heating lamps) means you get the rooftop vibe without the chill. The Sunset All Day margarita and Old Fashioned were delicious, the Mini Elotes and Molé short ribs were to die for, and they surprised me with the most incredible, rich horchata ice cream for my birthday. Huge shoutout to our amazing server who made the night so grand. This place completely sets itself apart from anywhere else in the area. We found our new spot! Can't wait for the grand opening on June 25th! read more

Fun new place to visit in Oxnard. My friend and I decided to visit on a Tuesday at noon. The cantina is decorated very stylish. Our serve was very attentive and kind. For some reason, it is very windy where we were sitting and then we moved to the sofas and the wind was gone. The tacos were good, but the meat was on the dry side. I'm happy we tried this new gem in Oxnard. read more

(3/5) My wife and I recently visited Flora Loca Rooftop, and while there were some highlights, the overall experience didn't quite meet our expectations. We started with drinks. I ordered the Cloudfull cocktail, and my wife ordered one of their pink cocktails (I don't remember the name). Both drinks had beautiful, elegant presentations and tasted great. The bar definitely seems to be one of the restaurant's strengths. For appetizers, we ordered the chips and guacamole along with the elote. The appetizers were just okay. The guacamole lacked flavor and didn't taste very authentic, while the elote was decent but nothing particularly memorable. For our entrées, I ordered the mole and my wife ordered the aguachiles. The food was good, but not something that stood out. The portion size for the aguachiles seemed small--about enough to enjoy with a single tostada. Overall, the food was average and left us expecting more. In fact, we were still hungry after dinner and ended up stopping for sushi afterward, which was disappointing considering the price we paid. The service, however, was excellent. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel well taken care of throughout our visit. The atmosphere was another mixed experience. I understand the relaxed rooftop lounge concept, but eating dinner on couches with food served on a low coffee table wasn't comfortable. I found myself constantly leaning forward and crouching to eat, which took away from what could have been a more enjoyable dining experience. Since this is a newer restaurant, I came in with high expectations. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed by the limited menu selection, and I also didn't notice any happy hour menu or specials, which seems like a missed opportunity for a rooftop venue. The biggest surprise was the bill. For two people, with one drink each, two appetizers, and one entrée each, our total came to $158 after the automatic 20% gratuity. In my opinion, that's hard to justify considering the overall quality and portion sizes. Would I come back? Maybe for drinks and the rooftop ambiance, but probably not for dinner or a special date night. I hope the restaurant continues to improve because it has potential, but based on this visit, it didn't quite live up to the experience I was hoping for. read more

Can't beat the views and ambiance. Server was friendly and offered drink and food reccs. Baby corn elote was a fun take on the dish. Chicken tacos were flavorful and filling. Drinks were refreshing, but at $18 each, a bit disappointing that they're not very strong at all. Fun place for a girls night or date night, though definitely on the pricier side. read more

This is a one and done. I gave it a chance but the location next to the 101 is windy and loud. It is really a bar with some small plates. Definitely has a lounge vibe which is fine for drinks but hard to hold a conversation with all the elements. Ordered the tacos and added the rice and beans for $6.00 bucks . Very small overpriced portions. read more

Great food, they have the best Mexican in the 805! We order , salsa platter, corn, chicken, and shared the fajita for two. The salsa was amazing and really loved the local strawberry one. The corn chicken was unique and happy that was not overly done. The fajitas were too were a good deal that comes with a lot of sides and enough for 2 to 2 1/2 people. Our server was wonderful. It was a busy night. I can see they got a bit backed up but overall was great service. read more

SERVICE Vibe is everything. Colors are joyful. View is cool. As it is positioned at the top of a hotel, SpringHill Suites, parking can be good or bad for you. It's Oxnard which means high winds so to attempt this business adventure - respect lol. Passing out little blankets for guest to borrow is a smart and creative bonus. Nice playlist. All the staff were nice. Restrooms were kept clean. For sure a photo op spot. FOOD I ordered Carne Asada street tacos. I enjoyed them. Had the soaked/pickled veggies on the side. I can't do heat but was hanging in there lol. Good flavor and would order again. We also had the Tajín flavored margarita which we disliked. This was not because it's bad but we're not Mexican and we respect and understand that is a popular seasoning typically used and it just didn't hit our pallet in an awesome way. Just not accustomed to it, but glad we dried it, right, why not. Ordered a regular margarita afterwards and it was Strong and Long (aka very good). Also ordered the Mole Short Rib. I don't like short rib but my guy who does thought it was good but disliked the sauce. Chips and guac were really good. All the food was plated beautifully. WELL I am for sure returning and why wouldn't I? Ok, honestly I'm going back in a week or so with another friend. This is Oxnards FIRST rooftop spot people. We're making history. LISTEN, the place is new, as in it just opened up days ago. Give them grace. The staff and crew need time to get the swing of things, how they want to work, how to get things to flow, how to handle a rush, how to handle strong winds taking over, how, how, how. So, chill out. Now, 6 months from now, fine. But for now let's take this in. I too am open for some small pops of live music here and there, but I don't think this place needs that and not often, the vibe is too sophisticated-chilled. I see great potential for them and hopefully they make it to the finish line. read more

I would have given 5 stars based off of how Raul came and really listened and took care of us after a HUGE disappointment with the service. He came over listened and made me feel heard. Then he comped our whole meal. He came over, listened and handled it like a boss! Best part was that he isn't in management but is the lead server. Thank you Raul! read more

I would give zero stars if it was possible... I really wanted to like this place, but I have to be honest--I left very disappointed. The food had virtually no flavor. It was so bland that it tasted like it was made without salt, pepper, or any seasoning at all. We waited an hour and a half just to get our carne asada fries, which is completely unacceptable. The service was even more disappointing. Our waitress brought our drinks and then it honestly felt like we were forgotten. We spent most of our time waiting instead of being checked on. The one positive is the ambience. The decor is nice, and the music creates a fun atmosphere. Unfortunately, a beautiful space can't make up for poor food and poor customer service. If this bar wants to succeed in this area, they really need to step up their game. Great ambience may get people through the door once, but good food and attentive service are what bring customers back. Sadly, this experience missed the mark on both. Then there's a 20% gratuity attached so we have to tip for crappy service and very bland food Tina needs more training she supposedly an experienced server um I don't know if I agree with that. OK update Raul saved the day he fixed our bill. He corrected everything so I will move my one star review. read more

Flora Loca Rooftop Cantina - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

I have been here twice now. It is hit and miss. The service is fantastic but the food is not that great and it's expensive. We had the fajitas for 2 ($60!!) we chose asada and mushrooms for our "proteins". The type of mushrooms they are using are not right for this type of food. Very woodsy. The tortillas are handmade and good but they only offer corn tortillas. The beans were bland. We tried a chicken dish with elote cream sauce on it. The chicken was moist but the entire dish lacked any flavor. The sauce did not taste like anything. The chips and salsa (there is a charge for that) and guacamole are good. All the desserts are delicious. Sometimes your $20 cocktails come in a beautiful glass and sometimes they come in a plastic cup. Takes away from the experience. read more

We visited Flora Loca's rooftop, and the atmosphere was definitely the highlight. The rooftop is beautiful, the decor and colors are fun, and the view is amazing. The service was good. Our server was friendly, attentive, and took great care of us throughout the meal. The drinks were excellent. I started with a mocktail that was delicious, then ordered the mango mezcal margarita, which was just as good. I would absolutely recommend the drinks. Unfortunately, the food was a different story. We ordered the guacamole and chips, the ahi tuna tostada, the short rib mole, chicken tacos, and the green aguachiles. Out of everything, the green aguachiles were the only dish we thought was decent. The rest lacked flavor and didn't meet our expectations. The portions are generous, and every dish was beautifully presented, but presentation can only go so far. For us, the flavor just wasn't there. Overall, it's a great place to grab drinks and enjoy the rooftop, but I wouldn't come back for the food. read more

Had an amazing experience at Flora Loca. I had the Pollo Purépecha, while my partner had the aguachile, which she loved, especially the flavor and how it wasn't overly spicy. We also shared two tacos with rice and beans. The Strawberry Suite, Lillet Spritz, and Ube All Day were all great. The scenic rooftop vibe made it even better, and the service from David was attentive and professional.

I stopped by on my own and was seated right away at the bar and had such an amazing experience! Damian took great care of me from the moment I sat down. I asked him what his favorite meals were and went with his recommendations--I went with the Pollo Purepecha and the Mole Short Ribs-they were absolutely delicious. He also made one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had! What really stood out, though, was the service. Everyone was incredibly attentive. Someone was always checking in to see if I needed anything and asking how they could be of service. I never felt like I was waiting for anything, which made the entire experience feel relaxed and effortless. To top it all off, the views were absolutely on point. Between the delicious food, amazing service, on point cocktails, and beautiful scenery, this place exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend it! read more

Vibe: Love the colorful decor, the pretty lanterns and the string lights create a dreamy, fun atmosphere; time your dinner at sunset 5/5 Food: The dishes we ordered all were visually appealing. The mole short rib was excellent, came with rice and black beans. I thought the beans needed just a bit more salt. The camarón ceviche dish with cucumbers was refreshing, it came with tortilla chips with some sort of red dusting. Queso fundido with chorizo and salsa, served with tortillas was very nice. I enjoyed the crunchy bits. The elote dish was unique- had all the traditional flavors in cute little baby corn package. For dessert we had the flan with toasted coconut, beautiful and delicious 4/5 Cocktails- visually pleasing 5/5: Old fashioned - properly made Strawberry something- delicious, not too sweet Margarita (served with sliced cucumber) - never met a margarita I disliked Ube all day- piña colada flavors, delicious, would order again Service- very attentive, lots of support staff, they offered me a blanket, which was nice. Flora Loca is a gem to the city of Oxnard. Congratulations and I wish this restaurant continued success. read more

Not impressed. The view was beautiful and the ambiance was cool, but unfortunately, the food did not live up to the setting. The menu felt very American-Mexican, and the fajitas had to be one of the smallest portions of fajitas I've ever seen. The avocado didn't taste very fresh, and overall, the portions were underwhelming for the price. The drinks were definitely made to look pretty, but the flavor just wasn't there--they were bland. I also happened to see that they hosted an influencer event, but honestly... I was not influenced. It feels like they're trying a little too hard to create an aesthetic instead of focusing on the food. The restaurant has potential, but it needs more soul, flavor, and authentic Mexican influence. The atmosphere is there--the food just needs to catch up and the customer service does too! read more

Hello everyone! SUNDAY, AUGUST 9 2026. Let's start with ambiance- super cool roof top access ( I recommend the mountain side versus the south/west facing freeway traffic). The outdoor art motif is kinda cool. I think the design with the round tables on the side is very limiting , especially because you want to look out at the scenery. The Food: Darn! I Wanted it to be good...alas, it was subpar at best... perhaps great for a college students; But not really because I doubt they could afford the menu. We started with the sweet potato carne Asada fries.. huge disappointment for me, my daughter and wife were not impressed, but not totally poo pooing it either. We also ordered the chicken sandwich, the burger and the mushroom and carne Asada tacos. The food was "all" very bland. The ceasar salad looked lovely , but unfortunately lacked any flavor whatsoever. Out of the beer on tap...they were out of the two I was willing to try (of course)... The true highlight was our lovely young waitress ( Merry) Who was kind, attentive, humorous, engaging and professional. (She even got us a discount after I expressed how utterly disappointed I was). NOW, despite the overall negative experience we had. I would give it one more try, but until then I could not in good conscience recommend the food here. And as for the alcohol/ beer being out...well, maybe it was the reps fault, maybe the keg order was screwed up? Back to the food... the burger was mostly bun, dry bun. The fries were standard, the accouterments were also lacking in flavor, the jalapeños were all vinegar. The chicken sandwich was wet almost too slimy with no flavor, more of just "filler" food. Perhaps, they will make changes to their local menu?, I mean, I realize its the Marriott, there is only so much they can do. Thanks! read more

Decor and atmosphere was very nice! My gf and I reserved a 5 o'clock table, I would suggest to others to go after sundown to enjoy the rooftop lights. I also noticed that most of the patrons dressed up a bit, as did we, and really adds to the vibe. The cocktails were good, but considering they were small portions, it seemed like they barely had 1 oz of liquor (I enjoyed the Strawberry Suite & the Flora Loca margarita). Slightly disappointing considering there were almost $20 a piece. My friend got the carne asada tacos because she was excited to try the homemade tortillas. She was a little bit let down and didn't finish them. I got the asada fries. The carne asada was very good! Cooked perfectly and flavors were there. But the plate over all was a little bland. Fries needed salt as did the verde sauce they use. I also substituted the sweet potato fries that they come with. I DO enjoy sweet potato fries on occasion! But to me they just don't seem to go with asada fries. That substitution costs you an additional $3. At most restaurants you are usually paying to substitute for sweet potato fries, I almost feel like this place intentionally has sweet potato fries, KNOWING no one would like it, so they can charge for regular potatoes. Our server Taylor was very nice. The perfect balance of being attentive, yet not asking you questions mid chew. Overall it's an ok experience. Will try again with my SO for a date night, after sundown to enjoy that particular atmosphere. If it's the same results, I feel like I've gotten it out of my system and wouldn't make I a point to return. read more
