    Carne asada burrito
    Sarah T.

    Best taco truck in Oxnard! Been coming here for years. They have the best taco pastor. Their tacos come with grilled onions which I love lol. Their carne asada burrito has so much flavor and they are generous with their meat! I also love their champurrado. Located on Ventura Road and Seventh Street by Mobile gas station (former Shell). Service is always great. This business is family owned. The lady that takes your order is very friendly, she even offered me a free sample. They keep their surrounding area clean, they even have tables and chairs with canopy for customers to sit and enjoy their food. Definitely recommended and I will continue to come back for more tacos

    These tacos are very good and not like some others. They're not greasy or make you feel heavy after you eat them. Also they have coca mexicana.

    Love this taco truck! Love there Carne Asada and Pastor Tacos juicy and delicious. They have a friendly staff and they also have champurrado. You can't go wrong in a cold day. It's located in the shell gas station next to Subway on Ventura Rd. & 7th St.

    El Forastero, the truck is on the Seventh Street aide of the Shell Station at Ventura/Seventh.

    Was craving mulitas, so ordered a fee and some tacos. The Al Pastor tacos were awesome; flavorful, lots of meat. Their green salsa is on point and I like that they give you sides of grilled onions and cucumber slices. Had two mulitas (they call them mulas)--one pollo, the other al pastor. Though solid in taste, I've found that I prefer the tortillas on my mulitas to be grilled and almost crispy. These were slightly grilled, but softer than I would prefer. nonetheless, five stars for being solidly good and extra points for the al pastor tacos.

    I would eat here weekly if I lived locally. The asada was fantastic. The guys running the truck were friendly and dint skimp on the salsa.

There are no fancy contracts, no drama, and no surprises--just a handshake, a date, and a headcount. I tell Wayne when we're eating and how many mouths we need to feed, and he shows up on time, fully prepared, and ready to deliver. That kind of reliability is rare, and it means everything when you're feeding a large group. The food is consistently excellent, the service is smooth, and the whole operation reflects pride, experience, and family values. You can tell this is a family-owned business that genuinely cares about doing things right. When you find people you can trust completely, you stick with them--and that's exactly why we'll continue to use It's in the Sauce for future reunions. Highly recommended without hesitation.

We probably wouldn't have dropped by it if someone hadn't told us about it. The staff was kind, friendly, and gave suggestions when we asked questions about the various meat options. The cash register is right straight in as you walk in. There are communal benches outside and a few high top tables inside, but the restaurant seemed to get a lot of pick up orders. Food came out within 5 minutes on a Saturday at lunch, which I was weary about since it's BBQ - but everything ended up still being hot and juicy. We ended up going with the 3-meat plate for about $30 total. It was enough for 2 people (or 1 really hungry person!). We ordered the brisket, burnt ends, and hot links which came with garlic bread and two sides of our choice - the star of the show was for sure the burnt ends, which were juicy and deeply flavorful. The brisket was moist, which I feel like is hard to find, but I do wish it had more flavor. The hot links were also good but didn't have much nuance either. Next time, we'll definitely save room to try some dessert, which was only $5! If you're in the area, definitely check this place out!

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).
