    Steak taco over salty
    Rosa G.

    Service was nice, food not the best. Aguachiles is what we got but they were kinda warm that was not good. Seafood supposed to be cold. The sauce was ok nothing special. Drinks were very watered down the cantarito had no taste to it. Not sure that I will come back.

    Dinner for 2

    Brought my girlfriend and her family here last night for a birthday. There were 4 of us and we ordered a platter, we couldn't believe how much food was on it lol. Our server was sweet and on top of things, she brought us a serving spoon as necessary and plenty of tostadas. The taste was excellent just like before. Honestly if you love someone and they love seafood, you treat with the aguachiles and/or ceviche here.

    Aguachile Mixed Plate & Tacos Gobernador

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while now and i'm so mad at myself for not coming sooner!! The aguachile was so good, the perfect amount of spice, ceviche tastes so fresh, and the tacos gobernador were life changing! Can't wait to be back for more

    Me and my family love Julian's Aguachiles. We try and go at least once a week. The aguachiles and ceviche are fresh and delicious but my favorite is the Camarones Cabrones! The shrimp tacos Gobernador and their micheladas are also amazing!

    Food is amazing and staff as well! Will def be back. The horchata and peino agua frescas are bomb and is amazing as well as the aguachiles and shrimp tacos.

    I loved this restaurant and truly offer delicious and tasty aguachiles! They have great portions for the price. The taco gobernador was my personal favorite though because the tacos were filled with lots of cheese. They offer great service and are always playing soccer games on their TVs. They have lots of seating and have lots of great options!

    I never tried aguachiles before but came here with some friends before we saw the Barbie movie. It's a nice small locally owned restaurant with ceviche and aguachiles as their speciality. Everything looked fresh and the reviews caught my eye, so I made it my dinner pick and wasn't disappointed! I'm used to seeing a green colored aguachiles sauce, but Julian has their own house version. It was very fresh and spicy. Portions are very large to share and keep snacking on. A perfect pairing with some cerveza ! I recommend you try this spot if you're feeling aguachiles! I have yet to try their other dishes, but they looked great as well.

    Fish tacos - they were EXCELLENT
    Nina R.

    First of all, this restaurant is darling. It is decorated in lots of vibrant colors, and there is ample seating, in various configurations. This is a great place to go with a small or large group of friends. Second, the food is excellent. My friends and I all got different things, ranging from ceviche to carne asada to the fish tacos and shrimp tacos that looked so irresistible on their menu. Everyone was happy with what they got, and I was over the moon happy with my fish taco and shrimp taco. The tortillas are homemade, and they are heavenly - everyone commented on it. Service was a little slow and kind of scattered, but that was to be expected because I showed up with a group of 40 friends. That is not their fault, and I would not hold it against them. This is not normal. I will return, and I would highly recommend this spot.

    We stopped by Julian's on our way back from Ojai to LA and are so happy we did. The staff was so kind and the food was amazing. I would stick with the seafood, particularly the aguachile which was sensational. Spicy, citrusy and fresh. Frankly it was addicting.

    Wow!! That is all I have to say. Great food and great service. You can actually taste the food, normally seafood restaurants just soak their shrimp in lemon.

    Shrimp taco.... Obviously they were good ! lol
    Mandy C.

    The service was exceptional! Highly recommended the shrimp tacos!! One of the best I've had! Shrimp and tortillas were sooo fresh! Food came out nice and hot. I'm picking about temperature ;) Super casual place but feels clean.

    Mixed Aguachiles plate
    Tiffany C.

    Aguachiles was amazing!! They definitely fill up the plate so the size portion was worth it. Underneath the shrimp and fish, there was a good amount of cucumber slices, tomato slices and avocado slices. It was pretty empty on a Saturday night, but we got there an hour before closing. Not complaining though! Beautiful presentation and flavor. The service was very attentive and friendly. I definitely recommend especially if you love seafood!

    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.

With that being said, I wanted to try it out. This was about 2 years ago prior to this visit I had today at this location. I jotted the note down after overhearing him talking about it while watching Netflix. When arriving, the environment outside is run down, old fashioned and in the scary graffiti, homeless surrounding. Parking is difficult to find, but we got lucky me and a colleague. The place is on a road side where parking it located a few streets between about 100 feet away. The surrounding had graffiti and loitering which was unpleasant and I would imagine it is worse at night, be careful here! Inside, a wonderful aroma excites you as you enter the restaurant. Booths all around and hard uncomfortable seats. A lot of people came here today on Sunday afternoon. Customer service was excellent, the guy at the front was very chill, polite and acted as if I was his homie, buddy or good friend. This is what I like. I ordered the birria of course, a meat drenched in a bunch of flavors for days to keep the meat juicy, tender and moist. The variations ordered were three tacos plate with birria, onions cilantro and a consome that was massive. This meal was $17. The other order was a four piece birria quesadilla that was absolutely delightful, succulent and had a delicious hunger craving aroma and flavor that any starving or hungry person would die for! This plate was $14. The tacos did come with beans and rice. Between the two dishes the birria quesadilla was my favorite however, the tacos tasted better. The tortilla of the tacos was fresh and made with love. The value was regular, something I expected compared to taco trucks and side vendors of Mexican food. This place is extraordinary. I felt guilty after consumption because it was fatty, juicy and everything you would want in a pleasurable meal, but it was heavy on the calories and filling. It was a messy meal, I added salsas, more seasoning from the condiments bar. There were so many different sauces and fillings like lemon etc. to balance the flavors of the birria. The console incuded was an added kick that I loved. Definitely one of the best if not the best birria I ever had and I highly recommend this place if you like Mexican cuisine at its finest. An absolute hidden treasure that you need to try! I'll come back after a month of consistent cardio and strength training to burn enough fat and make room for another appetite that soothes my brain cells.

Place isn't too big inside and it was packed when we went on a Saturday afternoon. I was for sure going to get the nachos and tacos but wanted more. Jesus was kind enough to recommend the grilled cheese and burrito. Both were great recs and delish! I mean I thought about the grilled cheese and burrito days after. The horchata was creamy and you could tell it was made in house. This place is delish, no notes.

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).
