I am a DoorDash Fod Photographer, so as you can imagine I visit many restaurants to do shoots. While I'm there I will evaluate them and their food. Tacos Forastero is more than a food truck. I would more describe them as an amazing Mexican restaurant that just happens to be in the shape of a food truck. They're based in Oxnard, CA next to the Mobile station at 655 S Ventura Rd. Plenty of parking around the truck, so easy in and out. They also have nice tables with an awning set up if you decide to eat there. They have been at the same location for 14 years, so they must be doing something right! It's a family owned and operated restaurant by the very friendly and helpful Victor and Sandra Cervantas along with their kids Carlos and Orlando. Now to the food! All of it looked great and was presented nicely, but the best part was the taste. I can honestly say I have never tasted a better Tostada. It was different than any other I have tasted and I'll be back for more. Also the quesadilla and rancheria plate was amazing the next day. The kitchen was very clean and you can tell they take pride in their truck and presentations. If you're coming from LA, it's about 3.6 miles from hwy 101 if you take the Vineyard exit to Ventura Rd and if your coming from Ventura the exit is Victoria. If you're in the area, do yourself and family a favor and take the time to visit Tacos Forastero, you will thank me!

Carne asada burrito

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

a bottle of coca

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.

**If you haven't tried "It's in the Sauce," you are seriously missing out\!**…read more Let me tell you, there is BBQ, and then there is **THIS BBQ\!** The meat is unbelievably tender, juicy, and seasoned with just the right amount of flavor\. Every bite is packed with that perfect BBQ taste that keeps you coming back for more\. And don't even get me started on the sides\! The collard greens were unlike anything I've ever tasted around the 805\. Absolutely incredible\! The loaded mashed potatoes was full of flavor\. The chili beans were delicious, and the mac and cheese was everything you want it to be -- cheesy, comforting, and downright amazing\. Every single side deserves its own shout\-out because they absolutely delivered\! You can tell there is love, care, and real flavor going into this food\. It's not just about the meat; the entire plate is an experience. From the tenderness of the BBQ to the incredible sides, everything comes together perfectly. Do yourself a favor and stop by "It's in the Sauce!" If you're in the 805 and looking for BBQ that stands out from the rest, this is the place to try. I honestly haven't found anything around here that compares. We need more places serving BBQ this good. Support this spot, bring your appetite, and go see for yourself! You won't want to sleep on this one\! **It's in the Sauce -- and trust me, the name says it all **

Very average BBQ…read more.. I'm a self-admitted BBQ purist, impartial to NC BBQ, but have also had some of the best BBQ in TX (Terry Blacks, Goldees, and Franklin), and this is simply not TX BBQ. The restaurant is situated off the beaten path in the business district, but it's impossible to miss with the huge smoker sitting out front. It's a small restaurant with just a few tables and the ordering situation is a bit wonky (just one small window to order and pickup from). The staff was ultra-friendly and the food came out quick. As for the food, it was just okay... The BBQ itself wasn't bad, but it was definitely precut and kept in warmers (this would give a pit master down in TX a myocardial infarction as this is a huge "no no"); the sides were actually really good though. The total was about $30 for lunch, which to me was a bit high based on the quality of the BBQ. Overall... Not bad, not great, but not certainly TX BBQ.

Wow, I haven't had a good smash in a while. That was amazing. I had a single smash and added…read moregrilled jalapenos. The grilled jalapenos almost tasted like a yummy, just a little sweet, jam. Really made the whole thing complete. Wear your rain jacket tho because it's a wet one. Service was also exceptional.

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).
