Just off of Ojai Ave on N. Signal St, there's a little hole in the wall taco place. I'm here…read moredriving a charter bus and had a few hours to wait, saw that shop and decided to give it a try for dinner, just because it was super close to where I parked. Frankly, I thought it was probably just another taco place and wasn't expecting much... but BOY was I wrong! One pork and one chicken soft taco and they both knocked my socks off. I'm not even a chicken taco fan, but that one was mind blowing good! The owner whose name I won't even attempt to spell because I would just butcher it, was very kind. He only takes cash, but I didn't notice the sign. I was a dollar short and he took care of me anyway. Trust me though, his tacos are worth more than he charges and worth every penny! Definitely give him a try! You won't be sorry! TWO HUMBS UP!

Ojai Tortilla House is a very small, authentic take-out spot that locals love and tourists too…read more They keep things simple with classic Mexican favorites like burritos, tacos, and quesadillas, all made fresh and packed with flavor. The tacos were packed with protein, honestly a much better meat-to-filling ratio compared to the quesadilla. We didn't try the burritos this time, but maybe we'll give one a try on our next visit...maybe. It's mainly a lunch stop and takeout only, so plan to grab your food and head to a nearby park or shady corner to enjoy it. It is cash only, though there's an ATM inside, and you'll find assorted drinks, juices, and refreshing aguas frescas to go with your meal. The line can get long, so arrive early and bring your patience. They can sell out too, so plan accordingly. Overall, it's a low-key spot with authentic flavors and reasonable prices. If you don't mind waiting a bit, it's worth trying for an early lunch since there are plenty of other great restaurants in the area.

We love this place! Everytime we are in Ojai we love stopping by here. The patio is fabulous and…read moresuch a great environment. I love the guacamole. So fresh and seasoned. And everything we've ever ordered has been delicious. Last night I got a carne asada burrito and was hesitant. I feel like at a lot of Mexican restaurants it's overly stuffed with beans and some unseasoned meat. Not here! A large portion of carne asada was in the burrito and it was seasoned so well! And huge portion. Easily 2-3 meals! Definitely if you're in Ojai stop by and relax on this patio and hang out!

The meat was juicy and packed with flavor, perfectly tender without being greasy. And the salsa? Hands down the best in the county. Bold, fresh, and balanced with just the right kick. It is the kind you keep going back for even when you are already full. I sat outside right by the fountain. It was beautiful! Perfect spot on a beautiful sunny day. Agave Maria's absolutely delivers. If you are in Ojai and craving something flavorful and comforting, this is the spot.

It was a bit warm to sit outside (80°F) and the wait for outdoor was 30 min so we opt to sit inside. We still had a nice view of the golf course and the rolling hills behind the golf course. By the bar area is a huge bar bench with a huge open window. We didn't notice that spot otherwise I would have suggested it. (Next time!) The lunch prices were really great. Our total bill with tip was $50. I got the buffalo chicken sandwich that was delicious, juicy but also really messy. And my friend got the Bistro Burger. We spit out sandwich/burger in half with one another to try both. Although I liked my Buffalo chicken, I think I preferred the burger. We also both upgraded to truffle fries.

Upon arrival, the staff seemed a bit frazzled. The menu changed a few times, which made things a little confusing, but the two women helping us were very kind and did their best, they just didn't seem fully prepared for a group our size. We kept our orders simple, and surprisingly, the food came out extremely fast... before the coffee even arrived. Overall though, the food was good. I had the avocado toast, which was really tasty, and everyone in the group seemed to enjoy what they ordered. The real standout here is the setting, the golf course and surrounding grounds are absolutely beautiful and make for a really nice atmosphere. Overall, a solid spot for smaller groups or a casual outing, but larger parties might be a bit of a challenge for them.

I am definitely surprised by the lower reviews as our experience on a Sunday evening was pretty stellar and hopefully the reviews continue to be more positive if the restaurant and staff are making adjustments to the feedback. We stumbled in on a Sunday evening after wine tasting. We truthfully wanted round two of drinks and a clean bathroom lol. I had heard about this spot in the past and their curb appeal drew us in. Love their signage, the name/logo on the front wall, and once we walked in the bar seemed very cute and inviting. Probably what would have been an initial red flag was that it was dead inside but we just wanted to sit and enjoy a cocktail. The outdoor patio seemed cute and did have like three tables full. We looked over the menu and were actually very impressed. They have an extensive cocktail menu with fun looking drinks and ingredients. The food menu looked pretty appetizing to me if I'm being honest. Based off of the menu alone I'd come back. Happy hour during her weekdays seems legit too. My group only ordered cocktails but the drinks were pretty and a generous pour! Three of us ordered the prickly pear margaritas and we loved the tall glass they came in. We really loved how the female bartender whipped our drinks up super quickly. My other friend got a Smokey cocktail and we all agreed we really liked our drinks. Had we not already been drinking all afternoon I would have definitely ordered another cocktail. The staff were actually very nice and sweet (going against other reviews). The bartender again was really quick with the drinks and made them very tasty. The waitress who checked up on us was darling. Me and my girlfriends were deep in conversation and I appreciated how she would check in on us but also was mindful to not seem interruptive. She also gave us recommendations on what food is popular and to order next time. While I only experienced the bar area I was very pleased with our visit. Drinks were good, the decor cute, and nice staff. Hoping more people will give them a try as we really liked this spot. Clean single bathroom too in the back which was helpful as we all needed a pit stop and refresh. Definitely keeping this spot in mind next time I'm in Ojai and needing a margarita.

You pony up to the line, which moves pretty fast. You order your food, which will be brought to your table. All the seats are outside, most under some kind of shade. There is a large keg of water outside, that you can keep refilling your glass from. We were with a party of four; however, the two of us had the Pesto Chicken Pizza, which was yummy; however, quite a bit of the bottom/crust was a bit overly burnt -- otherwise, quite yummy. We also had the Fried Chicken Sammy with a Vegan Cesar salad. The chicken sammy was great with some bacon jam and onion. I was given a salad on the side; however, it was not at all a Cesar salad -- so I'm not sure what it was (I couldn't replicate it on the menu) Overall, a good experience; however, it just seemed that the order may have been rushed a bit creating a few too many mistakes. I would still return though.

In fact, this was one of the cheapest meals I've had in a while in SoCal, under $20 a person for generous portions, free tortilla chips, and a tasty salsa bar. It's an order at the counter place, there were no prices on the menu board overhead, and the staff was super friendly and caring. We had a carnitas burrito, i had shrimp enchiladas with green sauce, and we had an order of 2 sopes. All hugely generous servings, served hot. They seemed to have a lot of takeout orders going on while we were there. Not a lot of people around but a lot coming and going, and it took about 20 minutes before our food came out. All around delicious, nice patio seating if you have a dog, and a few tables inside as well. Ample parking lot. If you're in the Ojai area, this is worth a stop.

They use a green sauce...hmmmm...ok. I have it a moments thought...NOW I'm so glad I ordered it. I asked for xtra cheese on top. It is not a dipped in batter relleno. I USUALLY do not like the wrapped in egg type of relleno. BUT THIS ONE WAS DELICIOUS. Give it a try. The green sauce is wonderful. They also do not have regular tomato type salsa. They have tomatillo salsa. We had to ask for chips and the salsa came in little containers. But it too is delicious. The chips are the extra thick ones. I loved them. One friend is vegan and there are no vegan options on the menu but they made her bean tacos no cheese that were great. The chicken grande tostada was huge and also delicious in a big freshly deep fried flour tortilla. The shell is so delicate it melts in your mouth. I'd gladly come back if I get the chance.
