If youre dining in, it's going to be served on a cheap flat plate. Flavor wise, it was actually pretty good. I've had better but for it being in Camarillo, I think it was good. The horchata tasted watered down. Few chairs inside to dine in. Theres a small little salsa bar with limes. Dine in only for chips.

I shared this delight with my husband and we both enjoyed it. We tried a couple of the giant pastries that were on trays in a baking rack. You use a provided pair of tongs or plastic bag to pull your choice of pastry from the various trays. We tried two different croissant style confections and both were a hit. Though I have to say these were huge and we brought them home to eat them over a couple of days The fiilings are not overly sweet and have unique tastes like mango or pineapple. The crust is not flaky like a croissant nor is it dense like a cake but something in between with the creamy filling. There are picnic type tables outside on a narrow patio that you may have to clean off yourself if the previous patrons haven't tidied up after themselves. Inside, there's a wonderful, immaculately clean dining area with classic Mexican barrel chairs and tables. The floor is covered in dark tiles and it is very spacious. This is an order at the counter shop with the register and small bodega in the front as you walk in from the street. You place your order from a menu posted above and behind the register. That order is sent to the kitchen and your food is called out when it's ready. The market continues in the space behind the register, where you'll find all kinds of offerings from south of the border. The kitchen and deli is housed back there and I cannot stress how clean everything is. I would come back here again and again.

I have been to this location multiple times. I first started going to Tacos el Diablo in Ventura…read moreand a couple times in Oxnard. I was so excited when they opened in Camarillo! I love Mexican food and tacos might be my favorite. I love it here. The meat is delicious, tortillas are solid, and the salsa is wonderful! My go to is the chicken and pastor. Chicken tacos are usually never my favorite, but the chicken here is high quality, juicy, and perfectly seasoned! The albondigas is also delicious! They are very nice and service is top notch! Very cute inside. One of my go to taco spots for sure!

Stopped by this Mexican spot to try something new and ended up enjoying the food and drinks. We…read moreordered the shrimp tacos and quesabirria tacos. The shrimp tacos were really good. Enjoyed the creamy salsa on it as well as the cabbage and pico de gallo adding a nice crunch and freshness to it. The quesabirria tacos had great flavor as well, though they were a bit too oily for my tatse. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the tortillas weren't my favorite. They tasted like the store bought ones from the grocery store which i'm not a huge fan of. For dessert, we tried the churro donuts and they were definitely worth it. Perfectly crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and paired really well with the caramel sauce. Sweet, but that's exactly what you want from a treat like that. They also offer a good selection of drinks. I went with the guava lemonade and it was a 10/10. Refreshing and flavorful. There is some seating area indoors and more outdoors which is nice, but I do with they had heaters for the outside seating when it gets cold.

Typically most places can dry out the meat, or it's minced up, or has grizzle in it. The meat here was delicious, and I was very impressed. I plan to try the Chile Relleno burrito next week, and if it's just as good - I'll bump the rating to 5 stars. It's always a good sign when there's a crowd of people in a restaurant at 11:30 ... Even though there was a handful of people in front of me, I was out in about 10 minutes. Great Place!

It's a…read morefamily friendly restaurant that's good for a casual lunch or large parties as they have the space. The decor is a blast from the past and looks like it did inside when I first stated coming here, so they haven't done much to the place but to me that gives this spot that old school charm. I personally love the old time decor and owls all around the restaurant. I find their booths to be cozy and comfortable. The menu is also pretty large with all of the classic dishes. The staff have always been nice when I've come in. They are attentive, friendly and the food is whipped up quickly. Happy hour menu seems to bring in the crowds but I do think there are other places with a happy hour menu that gives you more bang for your buck than here. The food is average in many ways but very comforting. Probably I'd rate all of the different dishes I've tried between 3.5-4 stars depending what you get. I really love their albondigas soup and that's one of my favs. Never steers me wrong. Also their crunchy shell tacos aren't bad. I came for a beef taco with rice and beans and was pleasantly surprised. This isn't Michelin star food people - just classic no frills Mexican food that seems to have kept them operating all this time, impressive if you ask me. My last pro tip is the margaritas are stellar. Huge fan of their mango marg and I'd come back for this alone. Just at $15 that's a little hefty for a hole in the wall spot like this. Same with the food. Two margs and two simple smaller main plates ran us $70 after tax and tip. Seems like it's hard to get a good deal nowadays but for keeping these local gems open, I'll always do my best to support.
