    Came here to get a quick bite for breakfast and it did not disappoint. My husband and I shared the chile relleno omelette and it was so flavorful, nothing like we've ever had before. Service was friendly and quick. Ambiance was nice, plenty of tables and chairs, parking is nice and located in the camarillo outlets shopping area. Highly recommend if you want some good comfort food for bfast.

    Was out shopping so decided to stop here for breakfast. I checked in on yelp prior to going in so I was seated right away. That part was great since there was a big line of people waiting. It was ok.. I wanted good pancakes and these weren't it! The rosemary potatoes were bomb! Bacon was good too. I'll go back for lunch to try the sandwiches cause they looked great! The menu has lots of options!

    Just be mindful that a cup of coffee here is $3.99, I kind of misinterpreted the server asking me "Do you want coffee or orange juice?" when I was first sitting down to mean that it's complimentary. I should have just went with a cup of water honestly. The server could have been more transparent about the pricing with me. It also felt like he was rushing me to leave already even though there were so much open space (and I arrived later than the others around me), but I didn't take his customer service to heart. Thankfully the prices weren't too bad and the meal was pretty great. I was immediately seated for a solo brunch here. The Fall Menu looked very delicious and I went ahead to order the Fall Mini Breakfast, which included eggs, I chose bacon strips (2), and the fall pancakes (2). There was a bit of a wait but that meant the food came out hot and fresh! I found the egg and bacon platter to be cooked very well! Just how I liked them. The bacon was crispy thin and yummy, while the eggs were soft and creamy. The pancakes were also cooked so well! The batter mix was delicious and there was traces of pumpkin with the pancake, and topped with just the right amount of fruits, syrup, and powdered sugar (no additional syrup needed ontop if you ask me). I was super stuffed with this meal that I couldn't finish one pancake.

    A nice midsized restaurant located in a strip mall. Very well furnished and pleasant staff. We arrived at opening at 7am and the mall looked closed, but when we entered we were greeted and seated quickly for a saturday. Many breakfast options, which were very sweet and tasty. I had the Loru's combo with bacon and a cinnamon roll french toast (AMAZING) and my wife had the crepe flight. These are very sweet, a little too sweet for my wife, but great food. We also enjoyed the large coffee options. I had a iced vanilla and my wife opted for the excellent cappuccino. A little pricey, but average for the area. Tipping was optional. Bathrooms needed a lot more attention. They were getting worn and needed a deep clean. That was the weak spot and cost them a star. But food and service were top notch.

    Had to stop by the outlets after work and since I didn't want to drive home in traffic I decided to have an early dinner there. Loru's was just a few doors down and so it was an easy decision. It was quite empty when I walked in, only one table was occupied. I waited briefly at the front and the server then came over and said I could sit wherever I wanted. After giving me some time to review the menu she came over and told me about their Taco Tuesday special and of course I had to order that because who doesn't like tacos!?! I also got the chile verde with pork omelette with a side of fruit. Flavor wise everything was pretty good. My only issue was that everything seemed a bit overcooked, the meats were a bit dry and the omelette were a little chewy. If not for that then it would have been perfect! Service was good, my server regularly checked on me. It was a pretty solid experience and will be on my rotation for when I'm at the outlets.

    The chilaquiles were amazing, the staff was friendly, wait time was minimal. I would definitely eat here again.

    Stopped by Loru's while doing some outlet shopping and it was a great spot for a quick breakfast. Service was great, our waiter was attentive and very helpful. I ordered the machaca breakfast and it was delicious! I especially liked that the meat in it was tender and soft. I also ordered iced coffee (it is on the sweeter side) and it was refillable - which was a fun surprise! The cafe was busy, I stopped by on a Saturday morning, however the food came out fast and it did not feel like a long wait. Great spot to eat while shopping around the outlets.

    This place was great. It was our first time there and weren't exactly sure what to expect. We walked in and we're promptly greeted by a friendly hostess. There was ample seating. We got our beverages. We ordered quickly. They gave us plenty of time to peruse the menu and checked on us often. The menu itself is vast there is something for everybody on this menu. We were there in between breakfast and lunch so I ordered the breakfast tacos. They were quite large and full of flavor. Everything was prepared fresh and it tasted as such. I chose the breakfast potatoes over the hashbrowns and they were wonderful. My husband got chicken and waffles and he really enjoyed them as well. Next time we are out in town around the outlets, we will definitely pop in again.

    They have a good variety of breakfast options - all day breakfast! Love it when places do all day breakfast. The food itself was fine. I loved my pancakes, the eggs were well poached, bacon wasn't crispy, homestyle potatoes were okay. They serve alcohol at this brunch spot! FYI Located inside Camarillo Outlets and plenty of parking.

I figured we would get something that I could tolerate and it would be okay - generic dining. I did not expect to actually have something to write about. But I was wrong. The grilled chicken they serve with the Chaufa is very nicely seasoned. It is bits of breast meat, grilled with a little char and adds depth to the otherwise mild flavor of the rice dish. My husband had Chaufa with shrimp, which I didn't sample but he ate the entire meal without complaint. We ordered the pork belly bites to start. They were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I enjoyed this appetizer so much that I know I will order it again. If I have the chaufa again, I would definitely have it with the pork belly. I ordered the lemonade and was puckering in a good way. Honestly, it tasted more like limeade than lemon. I was happy it wasn't too sweet because I could really enjoy the refreshing citrus flavors. I would go there just for a lemonade. They serve it icy cold in mug style, mason jar glass. Our friend ordered the iced tea and when it arrived. I was pleasantly surprised by the look of the fresh fruit in the clear glass, frosted over from the cold and ice. So nice. He said the herbs and fruit were a good combination. The wife of the owner waited on us. She is understated, friendly and efficient. We didn't have much of a wait as it looked as though we might have just missed the breakfast/brunch rush. I was impressed with how quickly we received our food. If we hadn't just eaten there a couple days ago, I would have gone to Azafran for dinner tonight. I look forward to making it a favorite local place where I can introduce our visitors to a good neighborhood restaurant.

With $2.68 in tax, the total was $39.68 before tip. Despite the word "tavern" in the name, this place is family friendly. During our visit, there were two large group gatherings (with kids) happening at the same time. The interior is spacious but can get noisy due to the hard surfaces. However, when the weather cooperates, there are outdoor patios available in both the front and back. Although the color palette of the interior décor is dark, the space feels clean and comfortable. There's a variety of seating options--booths, tables, high-tops, and communal tables. I'm sure the pastries on the menu came from a third-party vendor, but they were really good. (Edit to follow.) * The business owner informs me that the pastries are actually made in house! They are very good--so save room for dessert. * Our server Julie was a great hostess.

Fried chicken spots. Everything in between. So when I tell you what happened here, know that I'm not some customer who doesn't understand how restaurants work. I know exactly how they work. My best friend lives in Camarillo and honey, he has been raving about this place for months. Every time someone comes to visit, he brings them here. He made our Mother's Day reservations well in advance. Our party of six. This man has easily dropped thousands of dollars in this restaurant. He loves this place. Loved. We arrived early. Server was ok. Seated us at 11, full house, two-hour window we understood the assignment. I ordered the chicken and waffles. Everything came out hot and fast. We're laughing, talking, having the best time and then I look down at my plate. There is a bug. Crawling. Through my eggs. My son grabbed his phone and got the picture. My husband God bless him, shot up to find a manager because that's what you do. That's what any reasonable person does. He found her. Her name is Cheryl. And Cheryl said... "You should've taken it up with the server." Strike one. Then she walks over to our table with an attitude and before I can even hand her my plate, she looks at me and says, "How do you want your eggs?" Like I'm supposed to take the same food back. The food with the bug in it. I was stunned. Not just by the question by the energy. It was off putting. She was annoyed. Like somehow WE were the problem. My kids were horrified. My best friend, the man who loves this restaurant was completely embarrassed. I asked to look at the menu. I wanted something different. Reasonable, right? We waited. The server came back, completely in the dark, said something like "I guess something was wrong with your food?" Sweet kid. Felt terrible when we filled him in. I said I'd just take a burger. He said of course they'd remove the chicken and waffles. THEN he came back. "We're going to have to charge you for the burger." WTH, I thought he had lost his entire mind. He disappeared again, came back, apologized I believe he genuinely felt bad. This has happened before when I have been a server and a manager is more than happy to offer you another dish and take off the other one. But Cheryl? The manager? Never came back. NOT once. Instead, she made her rounds to every single table AROUND us. Laughing. Greeting people. Interacting with guests. For 15 to 20 minutes, we sat there and watched her deliberately avoid our table. And that's when it hit me the thing I didn't want to think. I looked around. Really looked around. And we were the only ones. WELL, I was the only one who was African American woman. Me and my kids. My bestie and my hubby are of European descent. I don't SAY that lightly. Honestly? It makes me sick to even say it. But I couldn't find another explanation. Neither could my friend, who sat straight up in his chair and saw it too up close and personal. He was angry. I had to calm everyone down and say this wasn't worth it. I canceled the burger. We left. It was the worst Mother's Day I have ever had in my life. I have never been treated like this before. It's 2026. People have diverse families. What happened?! To the owner -- I'm hoping you're not her, and I'm hoping you read this. Your friend lost a loyal customer who brought everyone he knew through your doors. You lost our table, our money, and our trust the moment Cheryl decided we didn't matter. The moment she decided that she couldn't be bothered. I travel all around the world speaking, training and I have never been treated to poorly. I called hoping to speak to the OWNER. Cheryl called me back. Are you for real? She HAD a chance to make it right. But clearly she didn't care. She had every opportunity to make it right. She chose not to.
