I also struggle with autoimmune disease so prepping my meals was becoming difficult for me. I am a cook myself so I'm picky about flavors so meal prep companies have never worked for me previously. This service has been life changing for me. The meals are delicious and filling, menu always changes so I don't get bored. They also deliver for an extra $10 or you can pick up at his storefront. They also are so courteous giving me a text heads up for my delivery time. Yuno factors the nutrition count for you when he sends the menu on IG. I just stick to his meals exclusively now and I've noticed my inflammation has decreased and I've lost over 30 lbs. Please visit him on Yunosnutritionalmeals on IG. He also has a cafe in Port Hueneme that I've heard is really amazing! Thanks Yuno for your amazing meals!

It was the weekend and walking 'round my hood I didn't want to wait a long time for food. CTC had a…read morefew people seated but wasn't so crowded that I would faint from hunger before being served. The concept is quick Italian. With pasta dishes and different main dishes along with sides. They run a deal if you build a full meal and it runs about $15. The staff were nice and I could tell they really wanted to do a good job. The problem really was the food. It lacks fresh flavors and reminded me of an airport restaurant. Everything is clearly pre made, which in itself isn't awful. It just really tasted reheated. Risotto: what was touted as "yellowtail" was canned tuna. Very fishy smelling and even worse tasting. I thought it was a bold special and imagined a seared sliced fish over the risotto. What I got was akin to cat food. I couldn't even choke down a small fork full so I did something I freaking hate doing, I complained to the manager. He did end up taking the dish off of my bill which I appreciate, especially since I honestly found it so awful I couldn't finish a bite. When I gave my reason he did say something troubling. He said the chef uses fish stock in a lot of his dishes which A) should be noted for those who are allergic and B) still doesn't account for the canned fish overwhelming the dish. Hopefully he saw I wasn't being difficult and giving honest feedback. Anyway, I'm happy he did the right thing. Mozzarella sticks were free with yelp check in and average. Roasted potatoes were good but are more like potato wedges and not fingerling are small whole roasted potatoes. Which is fine but unexpected. The tiramisu comes in a cup and tastes mostly of whipped cream. The set up and outside are cute. The staff work hard and really tried to give a great experience. The problem really is the food. It's bland at its best and inedible at its worst. With more restaurants opening in the area soon I would not bet on CTC for the long haul unless they start to put better food on their plates.

New casual Italian street food joint in Little Italy next to the bustling Waterfront bar…read more Food was pretty good but not mind blowingly delicious. This place earns its fourth star as service was outstanding, prices are on par, there was no wait, and we got a small order of two fried mozzarella sticks for free with our Yelp check-in. It seems much of the food is pre-made and then heated up to be piping hot (like the lasagna). Some clearly seemed made to order, like the fried chicken and fried artichokes. There are tons of desserts in their display case, including tortes and traditional or strawberry tiramisu. I only really liked the sausage calzone ($5), which was pretty small but delicious especially the crust. The lasagna was huge for only $9, and tasted homemade (light not heavy or salty) but I wasn't wow'd. The fried artichokes (tiny pieces instead of big leaves) were on the soft side not too crunchy. The fried chicken ($9) which is a specialty here was just OK-- small panko-battered thigh cutlets with a decent flavor. The place was almost entirely empty on a weekend evening, and my dining companions and I were seated right away on the outside patio. There are not a lot of seats but this doesn't seem to be a problem. The bathroom is located down the block, and you have to get a key from the staff. My companions chose to wait until they got home because they didn't want to bother but I didn't find it too annoying. BOTTOM LINE: A nice place for a quick meal with excellent service, but food was not especially memorable. I might go back to try a tiramisu since in Italy tiramisu is better at takeaway places versus sit down restaurants.

Guess what it was........a big pan full of sliced tri-tip. The food was good, just make sure they don't take your food that you paid for that's intended for you & your guests to take home. The workers from Garcia's had also ate and packed to go containers for themselves to take that they hid inside their food warmers. You are already paying a lot of money for food and ir was fine that they ate but to also be taking food home! That is not okay. Check those food warmers before they leave.

We heard about cooking with Ana from a friend and we decided to give it a try. Ana was super…read morerespectful, very friendly and the food is amazing! Ana went to the grocery store, got all the food herself, prepped all the food and did all the dishes before leaving! It was an amazing experience, we also enjoyed talking to her about her homeland in Brazil, how she got to the US and how great it is that she's starting her own business! This was our first time trying something of this business model and it did not disappoint. We will definitely have Ana over again to cook for us soon and she said her menu is just getting started!

Just overall incredible. It's a different experience coming home, excited to eat leftovers! Literally some of the best food I've ever had! Also, in discussing with her, she made me food on the healthier side. I am extremely active, work all day and activities as soon as I get off work (thus no time to cook) but was never able to diet because I have no time to cook. I lost 7 lbs in a week! I literally was shedding weight! Now I don't expect others to see these same results as I am extremely active and probably eat extremely unhealthy, but if on the off chance you are like me... you will literally shed the weight! I couldn't be happier and have already placed my second order! Thank you Ana!

Restaurant Review: Garcias Restaurant Location: 3600 Saviers…read moreRd, Oxnard, CA 93033 Overall Rating: 5/10 Recommended: Only for the Horchata The Experience The meal started with promise but ultimately fell short due to poor preparation and disorganized service. While the atmosphere in the main dining room (Mesa was standard for a casual lunch, the execution of the food and the timing of the service left much to be desired. Food Breakdown * Caldo de Res (5/10): This was a disappointment. The soup lacked the freshness expected of a daily simmer; it tasted as though it had been prepared the day before. The meat was excessively fatty, and the vegetables--specifically the corn and potatoes--were small and appeared overcooked. Most notably, the dish was missing cabbage entirely. The broth was under-seasoned, requiring the addition of over-salted salsa just to make it palatable. * Agua Fresca / Horchata (9/10): The clear winner of the meal. The horchata was excellent and easily the highlight of the visit. Service & Logistics Service was inconsistent. The server initially forgot the tortillas. When they finally arrived, the explanation was that the server had to wait for her own grill to warm up to heat them, raising questions about the coordination between the kitchen staff and the floor. Final Verdict: If you are looking for a great Horchata in Oxnard, this is a solid stop. However, based on this visit, the Caldo de Res fails to hit the mark for freshness and quality.

Shoutout to my friend and yelp elite Raquel R. for turning me on to California Meal Preps and I've…read morebeen using their service for the last few months and are super happy with them. This company is a meal prep service who has weekly meals and deliveries within Ventura County. They operate strictly through Instagram: Cali_mealpreps so that means there is no formal website or phone number. How it works is every week they drop an update menu of choices for their weekly meals. You have until the end of the day Friday to place your order for each week. Typically I message them on their page, note my order and if I want delivery or pickup and then confirm the cost. They are pretty good about writing back quickly, they confirm the order and then I zelle / venmo them the money. It's all been a pretty simple transaction and process once I caught on after the first week or two. I can confirm that they operate out of a local "ghost kitchen" so it's a liscened-industrial kitchen and legit as far as it goes for food standards and safety, which I appreciate. Their pick up location is in the city of Camarillo and if that is the route you take, they will give you further instructions on your pick up. The benefit of living in Camarillo is they do free delivery which has made the experience even better. As far as delivery goes for other cities, it might depend on how many orders they have... For example, one of my friends from Ventura ordered and she let me know that they did not do delivery that far and that she had to do pick up at the camarillo site. At least for camarillo locals it is definitely the most convenient option... But I also appreciated when there have been times I wouldn't be home for the delivery slots, they were flexible with me coming to do my own pick up when it worked for me. Now for the part that really matters... I am really happy with the food and weekly rotating options. This is a meal preparation company, so it naturally is healthier meals and smaller portions which is exactly what I need and why I'm ordering with them. I do feel that the meals are satisfying/filling but also really healthy and aligned with some of my better eating goals/diet goals for this year. I'm appreciative that the meals change weekly and that they try to keep it interesting/fresh so you don't get tired of the same foods.
