Been on a burger and fries kick lately so I had to stop by Cosmos Smash Burgers in Downtown…read moreVentura. This bright blue food truck has always caught my eye and I finally made it in for lunch. Being a food truck, the vibes are super casual and laid back. You place your order, then grab a seat at one of their picnic benches and soak up the sunshine. The staff were incredibly nice, and the sweet little touches like the handwritten note on the to go bag were just too cute. We love those kinds of vibes! Here's what I got: Single Smash Burger: A solid and delicious smash burger! The bun was pillowy soft, the patty had a nice crust, and I'm always a sucker for cheese, thin sliced lettuce, and a thousand island style sauce on a burger. No frills, just super satisfying and done right. Cosmo Fries: Honestly my favorite bite of the day! Loaded fries topped with cheese, onions, burger patty, and their pink sauce...absolutely insane. SO good. I loved the skinny fries they use, and since everything was made fresh to order, the fries stayed extra crispy even with all the toppings. My biggest regret is passing by this food truck for so long without stopping. That was genuinely a stellar smash burger and fries combo, with the added bonus of such friendly and welcoming staff. Next time you're walking around Downtown Ventura and want a casual outdoor bite, definitely make a stop at Cosmos Smash Burgers. (Located at the Channel Islands Juice Co. parking lot just fyi).

They were cooked perfectly crisp, the cilantro was a fresh kick through all of the rich flavors, and the mayo was spicy and smoky. The corn was grilled nicely and still had a nice crunch to it.

When I'm craving street food tacos, El Taco de Jerez is the move. This is not a "play it safe" taco…read moresituation, and I love that for me. If you're sticking to asada or chicken, that's fine... more lengua and tripa for the rest of us. The lengua is tender and full of flavor, and the tripa is done right. Crispy, satisfying, and not chewy or weird. My tacos came pre-garnished with chopped onion and cilantro, which they confirm when you order. Appreciate the respect. And let's talk about the champurrado. So good, especially on a cooler evening. Comfort in a cup and the perfect post-taco sip. They also have other menu options like burritos, tortas, mulitas, and quesadillas if tacos aren't your thing (but honestly, get the tacos). They usually add sliced cucumbers and limes on the side, and you'll get one salsa by default, so if you like it saucy, just ask for more. The cashier was friendly, and they call out your number pretty quickly. This is a takeout, stand-on-the-sidewalk kind of spot and that's exactly how it should be. There are a couple tables and chairs if you want to eat on the fly. Street parking only. If you're craving legit street tacos and aren't afraid to order off the "non-basic" menu, this one's for you.

Takumi Teppanyaki is an Oxnard food truck serving up some authentic Japanese Teppan plates like…read moreyou'd find at a Benihana. Prices are a bit less, ranging from $19 for Teppan Chicken with rice or a Yaki Soba (noodles) Chicken. We shared their pricier (but very delicious) Takumi Combo at $29 with choice of 2: (real filet mignon, chicken, Korean BBQ, shrimp, scallops, salmon) with fresh Teppan vegetables and rice. The order was big enough to share with two of us. Takumi only opens late afternoon until 10 pm. You can also order ahead of time via meal delivery apps like GrubHub. We highly suggest going since there are no Teppan restaurants in the immediate Oxnard or Port Hueneme area, and this food truck is surprisingly very authentic... minus the theatrical antics of a Benihana Teppan chef (which I can do without).

It used to be full-service, and now it's counter service with a much simpler menu. They still have beer + margz though (and churros!), so the important things remain. Honestly, I'm into the change. It feels much more like a laid-back taqueria now, and the vibes are still very much there. The staff is helpful and chill, and it's an easy spot whether you're rolling solo, with the fam, or bringing a group. There's a patio + parking lot, which is always a win, although weekends can get busy, so expect a crowd. They also have TVs for special watch parties, which adds to the fun, casual atmosphere. And if you're stopping by for lunch, they have a $18.95 lunch special that comes with 3 tacos, chips + salsa, and an agua fresca. Honestly... not a bad little deal. I ordered the mushroom taco + blackened grilled fish taco, and both were SO good and surprisingly filling.
