oh my, the service and the people here are so cool. The food is unbelievable. One of the best quesadillas that I've had in a long time and the made to order Guacamole is insanely fresh and just simply delicious. This is a must stop place! read more

Tacos were amazing! Definitely would recommend the Parmesan encrusted hard shell taco.

Adding 2025 menu pics. Prices seem to increase almost 1-2 years. This place is a gem, but parking main be the main hindrance. You may or may not be able to easily find a spot if you come for dinner or on the weekends. Will have best chances if you come for weekdays at non lunch rush hours. Pierpont Tacos also has some of the best veggie options for a tacqueria. Really tasty grilled veggies mix, not just beans, lettuce, and tomatoes for veggie option. read more

Worth the drive from the SCV! We've been here multiple times and it always slaps! We noticed a few new items on the menu. But still pretty simple. Not overwhelming at all. It's a little small. But I like it. Service is great all the time. read more

Fairmont tacos is an extra friendly place with excellent and authentic Mexican food . They have a variety, including several seafood, Mexican options, which I personally appreciate. Fairpoint taco is a friendly place on Seward Avenue close to the beach with some inside and outside seating. They make you feel like you're part of the neighborhood there. read more

The tacos here are absolutely delicious! They also have specials going on, excellent prices and generous portions! Located right by the beach, this is the ideal casual spot to grab some food. Service is wonderful, they are very hard-working here and the food was ready quickly.We tried a variety of their tacos and all of them were absolutely delicious! Don't forget to grab some of their homemade salsa to finish it off perfectly. Highly recommended if you are looking for fresh and authentic Mexican food in the area! read more

Had such a great experience at Pierpont Tacos in Ventura! I went there with my son and everything about it was fantastic. The tacos were absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with Love. But what really stood out was the people. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, which made the whole visit even better. It's one of those spots that just feels good to be at. Definitely looking forward to coming back! read more

Very close to the beach! Difficult finding handicap parking clise to the restaurant. Food was good, but a little pricey. Not enough seating! read more

I didn't know I needed scallop tacos in my life...but consider me obsessed. These scallops were the size of what I expect to get in fine dining restaurants (and never get!). The scallops were cooked perfectly so the texture was amazing. The flavors were all fresh and the green salsa topped everything off with mild spice. Can't wait to go back read more

Great fish tacos, onion rings and awesome quesadilla! Lots of yummy cheese. Salsas were also very good. We walked from the beach to the shop and took it back to the beach. Friendly workers and a clean restroom. read more

This was my first time visiting pierpont tacos after wanting to try it for awhile! Right out of the gate: super friendly staff. Very welcoming and patient as it took us a while to decide since everything sounded great. Their green salsas are both so good and I'm pretty picky when it comes to salsa. I ordered the veggie burrito and it was great! I do wish I knew it didn't come with chips as they looked so good.. would have ordered a side. Good to note for next time. Overall, very solid local spot and looking forward to trying the tacos next. read more

Super fresh food, made to order, very friendly, smiling, helpful staff. Beautiful location. Few doors from the ocean here on Seaward. Well worth coming down to check it out. read more

What a GEM near Ventura. I was looking Spey for seafood tacos and found this place on Yelp. When I read that they had scallop tacos, I was sold. Parking is a BEAR, so be prepared to walk. The people at the nearby restaurant are not friendly at all and will watch you to make sure you don't park in their lot. The food here was to die for. The sauces are made in-house and each item is so carefully prepared. My partner and I shared a variety of tacos and EVERYTHING was good. Highly recommend the soft-shell crab and the scallops. Shocked that the scallops were diver size and not bay scallops. Amazing amazing amazing food. Can't wait to revisit. read more

So yummy & fresh! Definitely hit the spot. There's a cute indoor space to dine, but I recommend taking your grub on the go. There are lots of walking options nearby and places to sit, including miles of uncrowded glistening shoreline. read more

Pierpont Tacos - My fav taco was the pescado :-) - Fish & Chips Near Me - Ventura, California

Been wanting to try this place for too long and finally went on a sunny afternoon for lunch! Just what you need, a beachside casual little taco spot. I wanted to try the scallop tacos after seeing so many great reviews about them. I ordered a grilled shrimp taco and a scallop taco, the guy working was so sweet and I told him to put them on whatever tortillas he recommended. We sat outside on the small patio area and food came quickly. Loved the variety of salsas. Must've been a mix-up because my taco came with cheese (requested without) and on a flour tortilla instead of corn, but not the end of the world!! The scallops were good, not amazing, Id love to try something else next time. Shrimp was delicious and perfectly cooked, def my favorite. My partner loved his fried fish tacos. His potato taco was super cheesy and indulgent. Cute spot and would love to come back and try some of the breakfast options! read more

Late review: LOVED their food! Hubby and I were either super hungry or the food was just really good. Ate it so fast, forgot to take a pic. We did a take out. 1. Fish tacos = PERFECT in my opinion. Fish was actually big, worth it for the price. Evenly cooked and battered. Fresh. Dressing and veggies were well proportioned. Every bite was perfect will definitely get again! 2. Chicken, asada and al pastor tacos = seasoned perfectly! Super tasty and yummy. Cooked evenly! Generous with their portions. 3. Fries = crispy and soft at the same time. Super tasty. It hit the spot This is one of the places that we'll definitely go back again despite the almost 2 hr drive read more

I came back and had the Soft shell crab taco, grilled shrimp taco and garlic scallop taco. The soft shell crab and scallop tacos are a definite reorder every time I come back. They are well worth the price. Service was so so this time around. The guy behind the counter was much more friendly the last time I came. Ambiance is still the same as the last time I came. Just a nice casual place to grab some tacos. read more

Amazing seafood tacos! We had the calamari, scallop, beer-battered shrimp, Baja fish, and soft shell crab tacos. Seafood was super fresh, fried to perfection (crispy batter, juicy, not oily) and flavors popped. Great value for super quality and large portions. Casual beach vibe. Very nice and friendly staff. If we lived nearby, we would visit all the time. read more

There were two people, one was the cook and the other taking orders. The person that took our order was rude and didn't seem interested in taking our order. The person cooking in the back was coughing all over the kitchen and on the food. We asked if they were okay and maybe needed water but we got dismissed. We definitely lost our appetite when the food came knowing that the chef was coughing everywhere. We ended up picking on our food and just tossed it to go somewhere else. I will not be visiting anytime soon. read more

Solid fish tacos. Not the best fish tacos in town, tasty, but hard to beat the location. Grab a tasty taco walk down and eat it sitting on the sand looking at the waves read more

Amazing location with great food!! My favorite breakfast burrito in the world, bacon and ham! Friendly staff, Rolando the owner is very welcoming and is always kind! I recommend it 10/10!! Love the decor as well! read more

Small spot right next to the beach, looks so pretty and colorful. Family run, amazing service and kind faces. But food was the main star literally came back to eat it again. Recommend the big combo with a little bit of everything and 2 sodas for $35. Will definitely come back! read more

Potato tacos with cheese crunchy shells are delicious! They are topped with salsa & cabbage. They are a bit pricey. If you get the potato tacos with a regular shell they are $4, if you swap the shell to the cheese crunchy shells it's $3 more plus if you use your card to pay there's an additional surcharge. It does add up quickly. But tacos were good. read more

I am really sorry to write this bad review, but I've had 2 bad experiences with Pierpont tacos and I won't go back. A while ago I wanted to get dinner from this restaurant. I called and ordered for pick up. My nephew wanted street tacos with no onions. I asked if they would please make sure there were no onions on his tacos. When we brought it home, it looked like there were 100 onions on his tacos. Needless to say, he couldn't eat them. Today I gave the restaurant another try. I ordered 2 nacho plates, one with shrimp and 1 with chicken. I received 2 French fry plates. I called both times and they did nothing. Pierpont tacos has lost a customer. read more

Cool little Taco place ! We came for the Parm dusted hard shell tacos . I had the Asada hubby had chicken and the pastor . Tried the fries too ! Super fresh and delicious tacos and fries . Amazing lightening fast service . With a Smile ! Great Place w/ a Cool Vibe :) read more

The atmosphere here is what wins. And the food is a bonus. Let's move on. Upon walking in I was greeted immediately. Place was very clean. Staff was attentive and professional. The menu has many options. I tried a few things. Parmesan crusted crunchy tacos. One asada and one pastor. OMG these are absolutely amazing. Meats are marinated to perfection. Produce is fresh. The different type of taco this is really stands out. I will without a doubt be back just for these. Queso taco chicken. BIG taco. Chicken is moist and tender. Seasoned well. Cooked perfectly. If you like cheese and chicken. This one's for you. Chicken quesadilla. Can't go wrong with a simple quesadilla. Nothing to complain about. Overall my experience here was exactly what I was expecting. A very local vibe. But not in a bad way. Everyone was nice. Everybody around the area was chill. Seating options are good. You could definitely Have a large group here in the outside area without an issue. Parking is easy as well. There's a lot right across the street. And of course street parking too. If you want a different style taco. Check this place out. You won't be disappointed with the Parmesan crusted crunchy tacos. Enjoy! read more

Best tacos in Ventura hands down! We found this little hole in the wall while we were at the beach nearby. These tacos were loaded and they hit the spot after spending the day at the beach, I highly recommend hacking them out. The place is small, so it might get a bit crowded on the wknds (we were there on a weekday) but definitely worth the visit! I'll be coming back here every time I'm in Ventura. read more

Awesome food. Cute spot, like 1/2 block from the beach. The man who took our order (owner?) was really helpful with his menu knowledge which helped us decide what to get for lunch. FISH TACOS-might be the best I've had. Large portion of hand breaded fish, fried perfectly. Crisp on the outside, moist fish on the inside with the perfect amount of fresh cabbage (if you wanted more cabbage like some other restaurants put a little fish with a lot of cabbage, I'm sure you could get it on request). Definitely worth more than the $7 we paid. The city I live in has a fish taco restaurant that advertises as "The World's Best Fish Taco" whose fish taco is literally warmed up, soggy frozen fish sticks like what your Catholic mother fed you for dinner on Fridays during Lent. Seriously! Pierpont Tacos is SO much fresher and better. POTATO TACOS-hard to find a potato taco, even harder to find a really good one. Pierpont Tacos has one nicely done in a fresh hard shell. I used the milder, light green, avocado(?) salsa;l. Perfect combination. CARNE ASADA TACOS-my son said it was really tasty and he's picky on carne asada. Served in a hard shell and ONLY $4! There's an option for Parmesan crusted hard shells too. We didn't get those but saw a lady who did and it looked tasty. Fountain drinks, some cans, bottled Mexican Coke and beer. Sometimes, some moms need a beer with their tacos; I'm one of those moms-sometimes. Really cute almost shack like spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Parking can be a bit of an effort but it's to be expected at the beach. There's a free city parking lot 1/2 block down at the beach and street parking available. The staff was friendly which is kinda expected (but you don't always get that at places) and the other customers were friendly too. A woman thought our potato tacos looked awesome but didn't know what they were so she asked us; good vibes all around. The only bad thing I can say is that it was stupid of me to not have eaten at Pierpont Tacos sooner. I'll be back-soon! read more

Shoutout to my bestie Erica P on Yelp for recommending this spot to me. I can't believe I've gone this long without trying Pierpont Tacos, especially because I've often times found myself on Seaward enjoying the food and ocean views. Pierpont Tacos is an unassuming small restaurant so just make sure you don't miss it. Parking varies from weekdays to weekend and peak hours. I'd definitely recommend coming for a weekday early lunch as I was able to get parking right on the street in front of this spot and it was easy in and out. There are a couple tables outside but the majority of the seating is inside. This restaurant definitely has comfortable, casual, and local beach vibes to it. The illuminated menu pops out at you when you walk in. After you figure out what you want you order at the register and then just wait for your food, simple system. I'm definitely impressed by the menu here as they have a ton of options! From seafood plates, to tacos, and classic American fair, you can find something for everyone here. I would highly recommend the seafood plates and tacos though. The food was a solid 10/10 all day long. The food is cooked fresh to order and the quality of ingredients is really there. The fish was all fresh tasting and prepared perfectly. Also kudos for the large portions. A good value for your buck. I split the fried shrimp & chips plate and had my own fried fish taco. Both were solid! The fried shrimp were a good size and I really just like their fried batter. Every bite was crispy and fresh. Also the French fries were classic and tasty. I loved the fried fish taco and they had a good amount of toppings on that bad boy, cabbage, tomato, cheese, and then I added tartar sauce. A solid bite. Also pro tip I'm a sauce fiend and I agree with my friend Erica, the homemade tartar sauce is out of this world. I even ate it with my fries. The service is also great here. The owner was the one working the front when I came and he rang me up quickly. Very friendly and offered great suggestions on some items that aren't on the menu. I appreciated that he was friendly but also quick to get me in and out since I had to take the food to go. And as far as excellent customer services goes, I also appreciate that they hook you up here. I mentioned before how the portion sizes are huge but also it's the little acts of "niceness" that go a long way. When I asked for extra sauce the owner didn't bat an eye and said no problem. Some places will charge you for extra and/or they give you one tiny container more and you have to feel awkward asking for even more. But nope not here. When I got the food home I saw he hooked me up with extras of all the sauces. Little stuff like this goes a long way with me and honestly isn't so little. Love the vibes here and nice people. If your craving a classic fried seafood plate or some stellar tacos you have to try Pierpont Tacos. Everything about this spot is five stars worthy and you really can't beat the ocean views while enjoying your meal outside. I'll be back soon! read more

This small beach adjacent taqueria had the cool vibes and tasty salsas. Some things were a little tricky for vegetarians, but the food was pretty good. We wanted nachos without meat--no substitutions, or discount--just without meat. It took a bit to request that, but we did get it. Oddly it had nacho cheese and refried beans and parmesan, so they were tasty but definitely wet like chilequiles without eggs. The potato tacos were stuffed with mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese, and with this heavy filling, they easily cracked the taco shell at first bite and required a fork for subsequent bites. The bean, cheese, and rice burrito was so tasty, especially with the variety of salsas and soft tortilla. Pretty sure those beans all had lard, but shh I am enjoying this. No pinto bean option--just refried. The food and ambiance were good, and there were things on the menu for vegetarians, but it felt like we were at the wrong place. read more

Amazing fish tacos in Ventura. Smallish and unassuming, all food made to order. Standout was the soft shell crab taco. Your choice of corn or flour tacos. Fantastic fish and chips too. Fries piping hot, crispy and perfectly seasoned. Large array of sauces but fish was so good it didn't need anything. A wonderful find after a day at the beach. read more

Nice little local hidden gem. I'm not local (I live ~ 120 miles away from Ventura) but I have several accounts I manage here in Ventura County). I'm out in this area about every 2 - 3 months and I found this place on Yelp during one of my overnight stays here. Good food and reasonable prices for Mexican seafood located ~ 1 block from the beach. read more

I love this little hidden gem on Seaward. Had three street tacos and a calamari taco and the tacos were great. Kind of like one of those authentic hole in the walls you might find in Santa Paula. Despite the near the beach location the prices are reasonable. read more
