*when this place was open* Pre-covid. This is a place that you will drive by over and over again and not even notice. But dont judge the outside, along with the inside by appearances. This place has a dedicated following. I typically get a breakfast sandwich or a carna asada burrito with their delicious hot sauce. It's hot. It's what you call a "quema culo". Wish they would open again. read more

My husband and I absolutely love this place and thrilled it has reopened post pandemic. We missed their breakfast burritos and hot salsa when they were closed and as soon as we found out they were back open immediately took our family to grab the best breakfast burritos in the world. No place in our opinion comes even close to the breakfast burritos- they are out of this world delicious! Absolutely amazing and the family is wonderful too. read more

Love coming to this spot when I'm in town and met the owner once who quickly made friends and went on to talk about how proud and good his food is. I've had their tacos to their burritos to their tamales...all are incredible, can't recommend this spot enough. Legit of the legit for Mexican food in and around Ventura/Oxnard. read more

Driving on PCH we got hungry and we found this off the beaten path place in Port Hueneme. We haven't had breakfast but it's close to lunchtime so we stopped at this place. I had their pancakes and a side of machaca and machaca burrito. The pancakes a bit heavy but really good. We had the green, red and habanero salsa. Habanero salsa super hot but flavorful. I couldn't stop pouting it on my food even though my mouth was on fire. The flour tortillas were soft and you can tell It's homemade. Alex not sure if he's the owner, was very nice and helpful. He came by to check up on us. We told him if we live near we would come by more to try the rest of the dishes. We heard the tamales are really good. But we're stuff so we didn't order it. After we paid he came with three tamales for us to take home to try. What an awesome customer service. I'm not writing this because of that. I want you to try this place when you're in the area and looking for authentic good food. I really enjoyed it. read more

We came out to Port Hueneme for a basketball tournament. There weren't a lot of places to eat near our hotel and some of the places east were a little suspect. I arrived at opening and got my food pretty quick. Service was good. I ordered: Breakfast burrito - ok and worth getting given the few options in the area that I could find. The potatoes were mixed in pretty well and the eggs weren't too dry. The seasoning was good. The sausages tasted like those little pre-cook sausages (brown & serve) you get in a box for a dollar or two at Walmart. I really wish there was cheese in it (or enough for me to taste) and was really disappointed in the salsa. I love salsa in my burrito, but barely tasted anything in it. BEC Criossant - This was really good. They were pretty stingy with the bacon (one slice?) but the eggs were good and the croissant was amazing. Cookie - I don't remember which one, but it was yellow. It was really good. A little dry, which is the style you would expect from a Mexican bakery, and really tasty. Jalapeno and cheese tamale - Delicious. Not dry, didn't fall apart while I was eating it, and a good amount of pepper and cheese. read more

La Especial Bakery is a Hueneme landmark. I know, technically it's in Oxnard, but its proximity to Hueneme Beach and delicious comidas are what makes locals Love it. Family owned and operated for decades, La Especial makes great Mexican food at great prices, and it is always consistent. My mom discovered them when she was working at Metters Industries, a few doors down, during the 80s. We've been going there ever since, often twice a week. Whenever friends visit from out of town, this is a must stop destination. While they have a few tables inside, we usually grab our burritos to go, along with a Jamaica or Horchata, and head to the beach to watch the waves while we eat. Especial has a full menu of meats, but I usually keep it simple: beans, rice and cheese burrito, hot salsa, onions y ciLantro. If you haven't tried this spot yet, check it out. I guarantee you'LL be back. read more

The kids breakfast combo & albondigas, breakfast burrito, chicken mole encheladas, chips & salsa. He even gave us 2 tamales to try. And EVERYTHING was SO delecious.

But so glad I stopped by. got myself a breakfast burrito and added some potatoes w chorizo. soooo good. potatoes were soft and the breakfast burrito has the good breakfast essentials.

Friendly family owned. Traditional Mexican food better than your mama makes. "Drop the mic" best chile colorado. Serious chile rellenos which is my favorite thing in life. Tamales better than homemade. They don't cut corners on quality because you can taste it throughout. The quality in the chile colorado and tamales shows in the shredded beef and pork. Not fatty or gristly. The masa is light and flavorful not just a carrier where you would want to push it aside. We enjoy all our food there from champurado to chile colorado to veggie avocado sandwich. So they are not just a bakery. Flour tortillas are hand made. Just go! read more

History

Established in 1972.

A classic Mom & Pop store. Our Father had a dream of owning his own bakery. He had been a baker all his life in Mexico City and was a very good baker, an artist of his craft one might say. Our father was in his 40’s when he started La Especial Bakery along with the rest of the family. We opened in 1972 as one of the few Mexican bakeries in town but times change and so did we. Mexican food was added and that made the path that we continue today. The family gladly continues the tradition of serving our family recipes, homemade masa for tamales as well as all of the food our customers enjoy. We definitely are more restaurant than bakery nowadays and we thank our loyal customers of many years and always welcome new ones stopping in for the first time.

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.

A place recommended by a contractor who fixed our windows in Oxnard California. The man claims this…read moreis the best Mexican birria he's ever had in his life. 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.

It was my first time trying this spot out but it won't be my last visit. Yes, parking was a little…read morechallenging but worth it. 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.

Their reviews seem to really span the stars. I think it really depends on who the cook and staff…read moreare at any given time. 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). They now also accept credit cards. For a low cost burrito, this is satisfying. Most burritos are ~ 10.

I loved the carne asada burrito but could have had just a touch less salt! I didn't love the crunchy shredded beef taco! It was extremely dry and the shell was baked not fried which made it have a weird texture!

I do have to say though, I really miss the buffet-style taco bar -- please bring it back! Our server, Briseida, was fantastic. She was attentive, polite, and kept checking on us even though the place was a little busy. Great service makes the experience even better. Thank you!

I came in for Taco Tuesday and, honestly, it was a bit disappointing. The setup felt very…read moreunorganized from the start. They ask how many tacos you want before you even get to the taco bar or see the meat options, which made the whole process confusing. They did have a decent selection of meats like chicharrón, potato, asada, barbacoa, lengua, and pastor, but the portions were pretty small. On top of that, they were out of basic toppings like onions and cilantro, which is kind of a big deal for tacos. Sides like rice, beans, or corn on the cob are an extra $3, which didn't really feel worth it given the overall experience. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely didn't live up to the hype. I probably wouldn't come back specifically for their Taco Tuesday. Happy Cinco de Mayo
