    02/22/26 asada burrito with no asada?
    Johnny R.

    Asada burrito with no asada??The weekend staff is way different from the weekday staffing. These weekend people need to put more pride into their food service.

    Asada and carnitas taco
    Ashley P.

    The food came out quick and the staff was friendly. The portions are large and filling, but not that much flavor. It's also on the heavier, greasier side. The carnitas had very fatty pieces. I know a lot of people like that but I felt pretty sick after eating it so just be aware if you have a sensitive stomach

    carne taco & chorizo/eggs
    Christine T.

    Small little shop near Oxnard Community College...but WOW! Big on Taste & Portions. Staff is friendly, plenty of options, reasonably priced, very clean, with indoor & outdoor seating. And don't forget Taco Tuesday! Went mid-day, ordered a carne asada taco that was sooo flavorful & generously stacked. Also had the chorizo & eggs that came with small side salad & guac., and was absolutely delish. My daughter ordered green chilaquiles + eggs which she loved. Numerous patrons came & went during our meal. This a great find & will definitely be back to try something else!

    Great food, very nice people. The meats are delicious, especially the tacos. I ordered the pozole and menudo this time around since it was the weekend. The pozole isn't salty in good way. It's tasty but I would consider it a "meal". It more of a side complement to an entree. I have a specific preference for pozole. The menudo is much better and flavorful. Lots of meat pieces. It's nice that they give you warm fresh tortilla and chips on the side.

    Chilaquiles estilo coyote By far best in taste and service was awesome...

    Awesome variety in food and service is better then expected..food was over the top in taste. will be back again and again..

    Carne asada burrito. Look at all that meat. Big protein.

    I forgot to pack my lunch for work and I thought why not try a new local Mexican restaurant?! I've heard good stuff about Lupita's Restaurant and it lived up to the good reviews. I ordered a carne asada burrito with everything on it. The asada was flavorful, a tad saltier than what I'm used to, but it wasn't too salty for me. Overall, the flavor was great. And they pack this burrito with so much meat!!! I got full half way into the burrito because it was such a meaty burrito. Their salsa verde has a little bit more heat than the average salsa verde and I was into it. Very good. And they have Taco Tuesdays AND Taco Fridays! Love them for that! (Tacos are $1.75 from 3pm-8pm on Tuesdays and Fridays.) I'll definitely be "forgetting" to pack my lunch again so I have an excuse to get another burrito from Lupita's!

    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.

    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.

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.
