Been on a burger and fries kick lately so I had to stop by Cosmos Smash Burgers in Downtown…read moreVentura. This bright blue food truck has always caught my eye and I finally made it in for lunch. Being a food truck, the vibes are super casual and laid back. You place your order, then grab a seat at one of their picnic benches and soak up the sunshine. The staff were incredibly nice, and the sweet little touches like the handwritten note on the to go bag were just too cute. We love those kinds of vibes! Here's what I got: Single Smash Burger: A solid and delicious smash burger! The bun was pillowy soft, the patty had a nice crust, and I'm always a sucker for cheese, thin sliced lettuce, and a thousand island style sauce on a burger. No frills, just super satisfying and done right. Cosmo Fries: Honestly my favorite bite of the day! Loaded fries topped with cheese, onions, burger patty, and their pink sauce...absolutely insane. SO good. I loved the skinny fries they use, and since everything was made fresh to order, the fries stayed extra crispy even with all the toppings. My biggest regret is passing by this food truck for so long without stopping. That was genuinely a stellar smash burger and fries combo, with the added bonus of such friendly and welcoming staff. Next time you're walking around Downtown Ventura and want a casual outdoor bite, definitely make a stop at Cosmos Smash Burgers. (Located at the Channel Islands Juice Co. parking lot just fyi).

When I'm craving street food tacos, El Taco de Jerez is the move. This is not a "play it safe" taco…read moresituation, and I love that for me. If you're sticking to asada or chicken, that's fine... more lengua and tripa for the rest of us. The lengua is tender and full of flavor, and the tripa is done right. Crispy, satisfying, and not chewy or weird. My tacos came pre-garnished with chopped onion and cilantro, which they confirm when you order. Appreciate the respect. And let's talk about the champurrado. So good, especially on a cooler evening. Comfort in a cup and the perfect post-taco sip. They also have other menu options like burritos, tortas, mulitas, and quesadillas if tacos aren't your thing (but honestly, get the tacos). They usually add sliced cucumbers and limes on the side, and you'll get one salsa by default, so if you like it saucy, just ask for more. The cashier was friendly, and they call out your number pretty quickly. This is a takeout, stand-on-the-sidewalk kind of spot and that's exactly how it should be. There are a couple tables and chairs if you want to eat on the fly. Street parking only. If you're craving legit street tacos and aren't afraid to order off the "non-basic" menu, this one's for you.

That recommendation turned into one of our favorite food experiences. These might be the best tacos we've ever had. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcome. The gentleman who greeted us, whom we believe was the owner, asked if it was our first visit and took the time to explain the dishes, the meats, and how they prepare everything. I love that kind of care. When I took my first bite, everything he described came to life--savory richness, umami, and bright, fresh flavors. You could taste the quality of the ingredients and the thought behind each taco. And you must, must, MUST get the chips and salsa! The salsa alone blew our minds. Just enough char on the chilies, a little heat, and a bright citrusy flavor--everything was beautifully balanced. Every bite hit all the right notes. The interior is modern, with a stylish bar atmosphere, and the kitchen looked clean and well maintained. You can even watch the tortillas being made by hand. Those little details make the experience feel special. Every taco we ordered was amazing, but the chicharrón deserves its own spotlight. I'm Filipino, so chicharrón holds a special place in my heart, and this one exceeded my expectations. The flavor absolutely exploded--a party in my mouth. Some food just touches your soul, and this did. We ordered food to go for our son, who loves Mexican food, especially tacos. They even gave us a bag of complimentary, freshly made tortillas! I can't wait to make him chicharrón tacos at home. I have a feeling he'll be blown away, too. Absolutely worth the drive. We fell in love with this place and can't wait to come back. Thank you for the warm welcome and unforgettable food!

They serve food in the Guanajuato style with lemon wedges, sweet griddled yellow onions, fresh cucumber on the side, and a nice homemade vinegary red hot sauce. Everything is really fresh and I've never had stomach issues here. They accept both credit cards and cash. They're pretty fast at getting your order out too. Usually within 10 to 15 minutes if it's not busy. I have only had tacos here and I keep coming back when I get cravings. The cabeza (cow head meat) is my favorite - very rich and meltingly tender. If the idea of eating head meat puts you off, just go for it - it's so delicious! The tripas (breaded & fried intestines) tacos are glorious, rich and flavorful. My last visit was my first and only time eating them so I don't have anything to compare them to. I have to be in the mood for something that rich and heavy, though. The other meats are all pretty good but sometimes the meat is a little salty (asada & barbacoa). I find asada to be a bit tough in most places and I probably say the same here. They also sell giant quesadillas, burritos and churros. I bought some churros today and they were a little tough but still tasty.

I asked him if he could remake it since I was driving and couldn't deal with leaving it in a cup, and having it melt. He replied I never get complaints about my ice cream. Then said he could remake it smaller so it wouldn't do that, but why would I want less than the norm. It immediately melted and fell apart within 2 mins. I didn't see him wearing a name tag, and when I went back for my receipt that he forgot to hand me when I asked for it the first time, I see he was logged into someone named Sandra's numbers/register. The customer service was lacking, and the quality of the ice cream was subpar.
