Taco Inn is more than just a "hole in the wall" on the North Side of Oxnard--it's a landmark of memory, flavor, and community. When I'm in need of comfort, when nostalgia hits just right, or when the weather turns cold and gray, this is where I go. In the heart of winter, or on a cloudy evening when the sky sits low and heavy, nothing warms the soul like a bowl of Albondigas. Slowly simmered meatball soup--potatoes, carrots, chayote, rice, onion, and cilantro--each spoonful seasoned not just with spices, but with generations of tradition. It's the kind of dish that pulls you backward through time. The scent alone transports me--like a VHS tape sliding into a VCR, grainy footage of my childhood flashing through my mind as the steam rises from the bowl. It's a home movie for the senses. A rewind button for the soul. Taco Inn isn't flashy. It's not dressed up for a first date or curated for an influencer feed. This is where you go with someone who knows your nickname, someone who understands the memories baked into the food. You don't take just anyone here--you bring people who want to know where you come from. People who want to taste what raised you. Or maybe... you come alone. To ground yourself. To remember. To pass something on. Because places like this don't just serve food. They preserve it--preserve tradition, culture, and the value of doing things the slow way. The right way. The way your grandparents did it. And when you think about it, that's really all it takes: Fresh ingredients. A hot stove. And love. Taco Inn is a reminder of what matters. Of who you are. And of what it means to be home. At least that's what their Albondiga Soup does for my senses. read more

Taco Inn - Torta de Asada - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

Friendly service with a smile. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this taco shop. My tacos were underwhelming; chicken and asada were dry, salsa was watered down- lacking in flavor, tortillas sadly, tasted stale. Bummed I wasted time and $ here. So many other great taco places in Ventura County in comparison, like La Bonita (Oxnard) Jessie's El Taco de MX(Oxnard), and La Raza (Ventura) read more

Tiny hole in the wall with affordable tasty meals that keep you fulfilled. The best deals you can get for your buck with friendly and efficient service. Did I mention they're always playing Mexican bangers? The music enhances the dine-in experience. Will be returning and trying their entire menu, so far the wet burrito and red asada enchiladas were delicious. read more

Well so much for comeing here and enjoying the food here. I always enjoyed coming here and enjoying the food and service. After seeing the latest health department score not any more. So bummed but if you can't stay clean i don't want you.. read more

We went for taco Tuesday. Great tacos for $1. The salsa is tasty and spicy, but so good. I also had Nachos with Carne Asada, can you say yummmm! We will definitely go back again. read more

Been going here since Salvador opened up the place. Ordered Carnitas and it was so salty could not eat. Ordered a Bean and Cheese burrito and specified NO Arroz twice - so get home and find a rice and cheese burrito. Top it off Chips were stale. Los Arcos is worth the extra miles read more

You can't go wrong going on taco Tuesday! I usually get the hard shell chicken and steak tacos. They are fully loaded with all the fixings, lol! Check them out read more

Great food, however, The owner does not calculate and pass on the tips paid via credit card. If you want to tip, tip in cash. read more

Great tacos! Friendly staff and love the taco Tuesday deal. I always make a stop when I'm close by.

Tacos were okay. Albondigas soup was a classic taste. Horchata was very plain and watered down read more

The food here is better than average. My wife's chile relleno burrito was on the spicier side so it became mine! The carne asada tacos hit the spot but aren't necessarily the best I've had. The al pastor tacos were tasty so I'll order more of those next time. Price was very fair so all in all, tasty especially if you're on a budget. And they even have $1 taco Tuesdays, who does that nowadays!!! Service is about what I'd expect ordering from a counter only a few tables. Happy eating! read more

Food and service is top notch. I drive 40 miles one way for their menudo Saturday and sometimes on Sunday. Best remedy for the hangover.

Bought a bunch of different dishes. They were all bland and tasted dry Very dissatisfied read more

In the mood for breakfast burritos and Taco Inn did not disappoint! Got a #5 and #7 and both were huge, flavorful and hot. Horchata was also super tasty. Price was fair for the amount of food we received. Salsa both red and green had great flavor and spice. Staff was nice and attentive and quick to take our order and serve our food. Definitely our new go to spot for breakfast burritos read more

They charge 50 cents for a small cup of salsa. They only give you 1 per burrito. You want Pico... that's an extra buck Probably charge you to cut it in half! Shady! read more

Great place for awesome Mexican food! Came here with a colleague and we beat the lunch rush thankfully. Great service and the women behind the counter were very helpful and patient with us. Thank you! We ordered Carnitas soft tacos and they were amazing. They were fresh, and the onion and cilantro tasted very fresh. Great tacos! The Horchata was excellent too. Definitely one of the best I've had. It's quite small inside so a to-go order might be an option. Not necessary, just really small inside. And the tortilla chips tasted a bit funky to me. Not terrible just off. Not a deal breaker tho! I love this place for quick GREAT TASTING food. Highly recommend and come early! read more

Taco Inn - Carney Asada Taco - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

great food, great service, cute little place with a lot of character. i love the pozole here!

Really good tacos de cabesa plus good service c:

OK this place is just cheap and delicious. They have authentic Mexican food and amazing Horchatas. It's definitely a hole in the wall place, but the staff is super sweet and the menu offers a wide variety of items that are made to order. Two little ladies who don't talk that much usually run this place, so (depending on what you want) if you're unfamiliar with fast Mexican cuisine--just look at the pictures provided on the wall menu. That should help you out. I recommend their tacos al pastor and tacos de asada with a large horchata to wash it down. But it's all really tasty whatever you order. Definitely a place to check out! 5-Stars read more

The young lady at the register is rude has no customer service I read her my order and she got it wrong twice and over charged me. She had an attitude and decided to talk mess about me in Spanish thinking I didn't understand what she was saying ! Very disrespectful and when I got my food for the 3rd time it was still wrong and it's was extremely cold! I've been coming here for years. I've lived across the street for 25 years and this has been by far the worst experience I have had. read more

Fresh ingredients. Love this tiny tiny little walk up to order place. Super friendly staff.

I've eaten here several times, no matter what I get it's always delicious! Will be coming again!

I've only had the bacon egg and potato burrito but it's a good plain choice. Definitely coming back to try other items and then will update my review. read more

Taco Inn - Just got these 3 tacos for 3 dollars on taco Tuesday :p - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

Great place to pick up soft tacos on Tues. only $1.00 each. I did find it unsettling that none of the 3 employees where not wearing masks.

Awesome family owned Mexican eat in and take out. Great food for a good price! The women running the shop are always so helpful! Lucky to have them so local! read more

Some of the best Mexican food in Oxnard. Love the Taco Tuesday deal, you get tacos for $1 each!! Today I got one of each, the taco adobada, the Carne Asada taco, the taco de pollo, carnitas, chile verde, and al pastor. Got the albondigas soup, delicious, tastes like my mom's. read more

This is a good little spot, came here after my haircut and it was good, prices are low as well. For a burrito combination and a drink it was 11 dollars, so not bad. The food was good and original, two ladies working the place, I suspect one if not both are the owners and it was quick. There isn't much seating inside, a bit small, and there isn't any seating outside. It's a good spot if you're looking for something relatively cheap and fast. read more

We had the plain carne asada tacos with the rice and beans and chips and omgoodness it was so delicious!! Will definitely be back!

I'm a fan of greasy Mexican food from small local restaurants. They're usually packed with flavor and worth every calorie.This place, however, takes on the "greasy Mexican food" title to an entirely different level. The inside of my bacon & egg burrito ($7) was literally like soup. I have never had to take napkins to a burrito to soak up grease. Definitely a first. Probably the worst part was that the grease didn't even add to the flavor. My boyfriend couldn't even finish his food and he eats anything and everything. They made three mistakes with our order: 1 - they charged us a different price for the huevos rancheros ($8), and when we asked, they said they haven't updated their menu (false advertisement) 2 - they ended up making a burrito instead of huevos rancheros and asked us if that would be okay instead (no, we already paid for something else and that's a mistake on their part) 3 - I asked for salsa in my bacon and egg burrito but they didn't put any (they offered, so how do you just forget to complete an order?) The place itself is small and cozy. There was one other man eating and it was nice and quiet for a Saturday morning. There's a salsa bar but the pico de gallo was already looking pretty discolored at 10:30 am. The sour cream has the texture of runny glue. I really wanted to support local businesses by coming here, but I didn't want to leave with a massive stomach ache. read more

I had a hard time deciding between 3 and 4 stars. I went for 3, because I have heard some weird things about food here, but have never expereinced it myself. So if the hearsay is wrong, 4 stars. I have eaten at Taco Inn since the mid-90s, when I was in high school and my parents would leave me to go travel and I didn't feel like spaghetti again. I always got the same things. Really, never have I triend anything other than: a bean rice and cheese burrito with onions and cilantro and mild salsa. It is served with chips and has a salsa bar, though the sups at the salsa bar are so little it takes about 6 to get a good amount. And I get horchata. It is typically good, independent fast food Mexican. The people are nice, the seating area is little but usually empty. In that shopping center, the choices are few: Subway (ew), Jack in teh Box (ew), some constantly changing Vietnamese Thai Korean Peruvian place, Rusty's (you don't get pizza if you want burritos), and Taco Bell (yum, but I don't always feel like TB). Good food, nothing too special, but good memories there, and the food hasn't changed. Well, my burrito hasn't changed. read more
