    Chile verde
    cynthia g.

    Update to my last review the food is gone way down. I understand that we're cutting costs but when things get more expensive, this is insane. My gordita came cut all wrong. I couldn't even hold it up with two hands. My burrito was all beans and rice. the Carnitas were all fat. It was gross.

    Chicharrón chile verde taco
    Everly F.

    Cuernavaca is usually a solid choice for us, so I'm not sure what happened this time. My chile relleno was tough, and whatever sauce was supposed to be on it was mostly oil. The chicharrón verde taco was also extremely dry. They really need to improve their packaging for delivery--by the time the food arrived, the tortillas were soggy, breaking apart, and all the tacos were packed together, which made the steam situation even worse. On the positive side, my daughter loved the rice and beans, and my husband said his burrito was delicious. I really wanted to enjoy my meal too, but overall I was disappointed with my order this time.

    Chipotle (orange) salsa
    Justin L.

    Despite a plethora of Mexican restaurants throughout Oxnard, only a few deliver good quality authentic dishes on a consistent basis. Taqueria Cuernavaca is one of them! Today's visit included the Mole Enchiladas plate and the taco combo #1 with shredded chicken. The mole sauce is a nice blend of sweet chocolate flavor with cinnamon and chile taste. For those with roots in Morelos/Puebla, it'll taste like abuelita's mole poblano. Rice and beans are nicely portioned, with the beans served inside a tortilla shell to add a nice touch of crispiness. The taco combo 1 is simple but a solid portion for $9.99, coming with the full sides of rice and refried beans. Their orange salsa adds a nice spiciness without numbing your mouth for the entire meal, with flavors of chipotles and chile de arbol. Decent amount of seating inside and outside, with a full salsa bar as well if you like to add usual fixins (onion, cilantro, habanero salsa, etc.) Big thank you to the staff as well for always saying hi to my little brother whenever we dine in. Their kindness and remembrance of his order each time highlights their excellent family oriented service. They have locations in Ventura and Santa Barbara as well for folks closer to the beach!

    I forgot to take a picture but  one is going home with me. It's the gordita is with the cut up chicharrón equally as delicious.

    Food was so good. I got the gorditas. I like mine without lettuce or sour cream. But they add requesón and I added asada with some of their green hot salsa. It was perfection. Crispy Gordita with creamy requesón and delicious asada. The staff was so attentive and helpful. Definitely a great experience. The place was clean and they had a variety of salsas to choose from.

    Asada Tortas ( Sandwich )
    Gabriela M.

    This torta was soooo good and a good price too! with a big portion:) definitely worth a try. The service was amazing! The seating outside is lovely since it usually gets packed inside!

    They shouldn't have this and expect tip that is rude!!!
    Crystal M.

    They're okay they shouldn't expect tip especially if they want you to pick up your own plate and then say this that is rude other then that the food is good.

    Big bowl of menudo with hominy. Pata on the side along with some chips.
    Rene R.

    I love this place. I've tried many different dishes that never had a complaint...until today. Family was feeling under the weather and decided to order some soup. Now they don't make menudo or pozole during the week just unless you get lucky. So we ordered tortilla soup and caldo de res. All I will say is stick with the pozole or menudo. Super disappointing. Ordered the food to go and it had all the fixings included.

    Steak quesadilla
    Reveka G.

    Though the years, we've dined here a few times and have seen it go through ups and downs. Today was a good day. The lengua tacos were fabulous... perfectly cooked, so tender and flavorful. The steak quesadillas were delicious, as usual. The chicken options are a bit dry, so I recommend sticking with the other meat options, unless you're interested in the milanese which was great. There was a bit of a wait but the food was ready fairly quickly. Service was patient, helpful, and very attentive (thank you, Antonio). This is one of our preferred spots when we're craving Mexican flavors. They have the best lengua. Let's hope the experience stays consistently good!

    Carne asada fries

    Genuinely the worst carne asada fries I've ever gotten. Just a tomato slice on top of a glob of avocado and mostly un chopped carne asada. I mean the picture speaks for itself. Felt like I paid $14 for something a 10 year old kid just threw together and called carne asada fries. I don't know if the other items are better, but I won't be back to find out.

    Pretty much the only place that haven't tried in Oxnard city...until yesterday…read more Let's start with the chips and salsa...always a good indicator of things to come. Wasn't the best, but far from bad. The chips were in one of those steel machines to keep warm, they were thin, crispy, and light salt, the way ALL tortilla chips should be. But they were a bit oily only negative. The salsa was cantina style seemed homemade, was good, zero spice/mild. (B+) Combo fajitas (friend order) it was a good tasting with a terrific plate of guac, pico, refried beans, and shredded cheese. Heck, you couldve made a meal from just the side plate wrap em up call it a veggie fajita party. Very filing and good (A-) Other friends had carne asada burrito, and a steak plate, both happy so assuming they are good. Service was outstanding by several individuals; checking in on order, refilling drinks, cleaning table, all workers are terrific and polite. I was ready for the 5-star goldenrod Neptune-trident throwdown, but my order, the torta (D-) was a complete trainwreck. Al pastor and a torta; took a double-jeopardy style gamble and crapped out, snake eyes big time. The bread was abysmal/ not fresh, the al pastor was ice cold and not memorable, meat fused to a cold hardened melted gooey cheese; send it back, replaced with carne asada, still came back cold (just don't get it.) so that item alone dragged it down a star. I was so full from the chips and salsa, sampling friends' food, and the side order of clam chowder (yes, in a Mex restaurant a first for me, was smoky and quite good too! (A-) that I just picked off some of the cold beef and ate that without the bread. Would I come back? Well, when seaside, I usually crave seafood like a nice fish n chips or something, but if I am ever craving Mex, will bring wife and son. Just will not touch the torta with a diez-foot pole amigo. They also have a salsa bar upon entrance which I completely forgot to pound once food came, shame on me once.

With that being said, I wanted to try it out. This was about 2 years ago prior to this visit I had today at this location. I jotted the note down after overhearing him talking about it while watching Netflix. When arriving, the environment outside is run down, old fashioned and in the scary graffiti, homeless surrounding. Parking is difficult to find, but we got lucky me and a colleague. The place is on a road side where parking it located a few streets between about 100 feet away. The surrounding had graffiti and loitering which was unpleasant and I would imagine it is worse at night, be careful here! Inside, a wonderful aroma excites you as you enter the restaurant. Booths all around and hard uncomfortable seats. A lot of people came here today on Sunday afternoon. Customer service was excellent, the guy at the front was very chill, polite and acted as if I was his homie, buddy or good friend. This is what I like. I ordered the birria of course, a meat drenched in a bunch of flavors for days to keep the meat juicy, tender and moist. The variations ordered were three tacos plate with birria, onions cilantro and a consome that was massive. This meal was $17. The other order was a four piece birria quesadilla that was absolutely delightful, succulent and had a delicious hunger craving aroma and flavor that any starving or hungry person would die for! This plate was $14. The tacos did come with beans and rice. Between the two dishes the birria quesadilla was my favorite however, the tacos tasted better. The tortilla of the tacos was fresh and made with love. The value was regular, something I expected compared to taco trucks and side vendors of Mexican food. This place is extraordinary. I felt guilty after consumption because it was fatty, juicy and everything you would want in a pleasurable meal, but it was heavy on the calories and filling. It was a messy meal, I added salsas, more seasoning from the condiments bar. There were so many different sauces and fillings like lemon etc. to balance the flavors of the birria. The console incuded was an added kick that I loved. Definitely one of the best if not the best birria I ever had and I highly recommend this place if you like Mexican cuisine at its finest. An absolute hidden treasure that you need to try! I'll come back after a month of consistent cardio and strength training to burn enough fat and make room for another appetite that soothes my brain cells.

The horchata was creamy and you could tell it was made in house. This place is delish, no notes.
