    El Chilaquiles Breakfast Burrito
    Michelle M.

    It was my first time and I'd definitely come back! The food was delicious. Here you order and the counter and seat yourself. We all shared a cinnamon roll, it was 4 of us, so to share was perfect, especially while we waited for our food. I ordered the chiliquiles burrito, which was delicious. It was big, I had to save half to take home. The salsas were delicious as well. Ambiance was vibrant and the service was kind.

    Atmosphere, food and staff are extremely wonderful. 1st time to visit , but now will be on my best list. Thank you to Tomás and the Garcia family for allowing us to have our Santa Clara Girls Beach Volleyball fundraiser.

    Inside views. Lots of windows and light.

    In Real Estate they say Location, Location, Location...but Buildings have their own personality and charm. Tomas Cafe is a unique place and I love the space. The building is ginormous! Lots of room for a big family breakfast, a business meeting with colleagues, or to allow yourself personal space to catch up with a loved one or friend. The wood panels and glass structures that divide the various rooms in the space remind us that architecture and art exist all around. There is lots of light that comes through and it doesn't feel like a diner or cookie-cutter cafe. It feels like something more. It's nice to grab a seat and drink a cup of coffee out of glass cup, resting on a saucer. It's the simple details that remind you we need to give attention and time to things in our daily routines or rituals. Tomas Cafe is where you can do this...read a newspaper with your breakfast. Or bring in a book and enjoy time with yourself in a beautiful space. Whenever I'm craving a solid breakfast sandwich, it's one of the first spots that always comes to mind. The TC Breakfast Egg Sandwich is simple, but delicious! 2 eggs, a slice of bacon, Cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes on brioche bun. What more do you want to get you started? Its the perfect amount to get you going but not slow you down. The homemade salsa that comes with it has flavor and spice and everything nice!

    Haven't been here in a while. Looks like things have changed. Now you order at the counter and seat yourself. Chilaquiles are still great!

    Blueberry pancakes with added eggs and bacon and sausage.

    Great spot. Easy going and good food. Cafe muy bueno! They have a lot of items to chose from and everything looks really clean. I recommend to everyone. Went on a Sunday morning and there was no wait time. But still busy.

    I tried this place with my mom after a medical follow up appointment. I was pleasantly surprised. The menu was easy to understand and both people I interacted with were very nice and accommodating. The omelettes and potatoes are so legit. And the side of fruit I ordered was very fresh and tasty. The coffee drip and latte were both great. A clean environment and consistent attention. Lots of kindness. I recommend trying this spot. I liked it.

    Came for brunch so this is based off that experience alone as we were not directly serviced. The . Food . Was . DELICIOUS ! That's it , that's the post! Tomas Cafe put out a beautiful brunch spread and everything was so good (well, except the pastries). They even had YELLOW WATERMELON - like what? Never had it ! The staples really were their fried chicken and their grits. YUMMY! Will definitely have to go back to get the restaurant experience.

    Came here for breakfast time. It's a bit confusing as I entered there is no server and we waited for less than 5 min and then a lady says you can come and order, I get more confused I'm at a restaurant I was expecting to take a seat and get served, unfortunately it does not work that way. I don't understand how you are supposed to pay up front and provide a tip when you have not been served yet or had no service. The food was okay, I tried the famous cinnamon I didn't taste anything special about it. Not convinced to return.

    SERVICE: They have outdoor seating options, staff were nice, place was clean, and parking was a little hard but mainly due to a funeral taking place across the street. Also, they gave us plastic utensils which was a little questionable due to ordering steak, but it was fine. FOOD: First, can talk about how delicious the orange juice was? People! Go get a bottle-now! Support them! Food was good. You'll see what i got from the pics. The only disappointment that came wit humor were the grits. Allow us to say it is hard to find cafe's, etc. who sell grits here in Oxnard. We called them and they said yes which made us come after calling literally a few restaurants. Well, we were excited for the grits but laughed hard when we saw how soupy they were hahaha. Hey, it is what it is. WELL: We shall return.

    The breakfast I ordered at Tomas Cafe, the Jesus's Chilaquiles it has to be the most non-Mexican breakfast I ever had eaten. The restaurant serves American and Mexican breakfast, on the menu describes what is considered to be a traditional Mexican dish. Pros - clean, spacious area to eat, friendly and attentive personnel. The women's bathroom spacious and well kept. Cons - the food is order over the counter, then food is delivered to your table. If it is your first time and not familiar with the menu you better step aside to read the menu. Otherwise, you will be holding the line for the other ones they want to place an order. The picture on the website of the Jesus's Chilaquiles looked totally different of what I was served. In addition, ordered a regular cup of coffee and a cherry turnover pastry. Jesus's Chilaquiles, it appears the beans, the rice and the tortillas chips were piled up on a plate. The sunny side up eggs on top of the tortillas chips were cooked as I requested. The refried beans and the rice lacks of flavor. The tortillas chips were not wet with the red sauce. Instead, I got a side order of the red sauce. The receipt states the green sauce to be served on the side. The queso fresco was ordered on the side. The coffee was not hot enough it was lukewarm. The cherry turnover pastry was not appealing barely had some filling. Noticed next to Jesus's Chilaquiles plate is the receipt. Management, I would recommend to check the order prior to be served. Very disappointed, definitely I will not come back.

    I ordered this via Uber Eats. They did not have 2 out of the 3 things I ordered for breakfast and it took over 2 hours for the delivery. The driver called me, they did not have a turkey burger so I settled for beef. They also did not have ribeye steak so they wanted to substitute a brisket burrito. I figured I should at least get 2 and to their credit they gave me 2. However, it took them over 2 hours to delivery this to me as well, so of course everything was cold

    Waffles  were really really good  Huevos rancheros 8/10  Egg with bacon and sausage 8/10

We came here to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. We each ordered a cocktail. She got a blueberry margarita and I got a cucumber gin mixed drink. Both were refreshing and delicious. We ended up ordering another round. For appetizers we ordered the crispy maple Brussels and tuna & salmon tartare. The Brussels were fried to perfection and glazed a sweet maple syrup. It also came with thick cuts of bacon. Definitely recommend this. For the tartare, it was also delicious and fresh. It was mixed with avocado and turnip. We thought the turnip would be off putting but it actually meshed well with the flavors. Came with fried wonton chips. For the main course we shared the NY strip and Lobster Malfaldine. The steak was cooked to perfection with a very nice sear and flavored well. Probably one of the better steaks I've ever had. Definitely beats out any steakhouse steak. The Lobster Malfaldine was also absolutely delicious. Most of the time, lobster pasta is usually a bit bland and lacking in lobster. NOT HERE. They included big chunks of lobster and the sauce was so good. Lastly, we ended our dinner with the Strawberry Hand Pie. This is basically a warm strawberry strudel with vanilla bean ice cream. They used locally sourced strawberries and I'm still thinking about it as I'm writing this review. Adrienne was our server and she was very nice and attentive. Since it was my girlfriend's birthday, they comped our dessert. Super nice staff!

The ambiance of the beach nearby is pleasant. A lot of the menu items are found through scanning a QR code in your phone to prevent users from looking at a paper menu.

Waitresses try their best but seem stretched too thin to be very attentive. You are made to use Cakes online ordering and wait list program which is less than ideal because of their slow WiFi. While waiting for a table you are updated on your place in line. On our last visit we waited as next to be seated for 20 minutes as multiple large parties showed up late and were seated immediately. We were told they were friends of the owner and there's nothing they could do but the staff hates it- for what that's worth. Today my Avocado toast left much to be desired. Sourdough tastes like dry thin sliced white bread. Small amount of smashed Avocado; not enough to cover the bread topped with less than fresh pico da gallo, arugula a balsamic drizzle and 3 slices of tomato that were marinated in Italian dressing. All things I like but the combination was not good. BLTA used the same disappointing bread, flaccid under cooked bacon a tiny amount of pesto aioli and more avocado then there was on the avocado toast. Kids mini pancakes were good but chocolate chips are $1 up charge. I will say yesterday's eggs Benedict was good- hollandaise is excellent. Breakfast potatoes were a bit undercooked. Bloody Mary was a bit weak in my opinion. After all of that- I got a look at the receipt and there is a 2% BOH RevShare added to the bill. My best guess is this is fee to help pay the kitchen- To be honest we went here because it was a short walk from the Hilton. After the poor service, bad quality and hidden fees- we would be better off eating on the resort.

For starters, we had fresh seared ahi tuna, delicious crab cakes, perfectly battered shrimp, and crispy calamari served with a marinara sauce that had just the right amount of spice. Our table enjoyed the chicken piccata, lobster ravioli, and Wagyu burger, and every entrée was excellent. The blackberry margaritas were a standout and worth the visit alone! Dessert was the perfect finish with tiramisu, rich chocolate cake, and incredible churro waffles topped with caramel cream sauce, walnuts, and strawberries. Chef's kiss to all three. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between casual and upscale, with great outdoor seating and harbor views. The packed bar area made it clear this is a local favorite. Highly recommend Waterside whenever you're in the Oxnard/Channel Islands area. We will definitely be back!

We ordered the Ribeye and Carbonara, along with the garlic fries and a blackberry margarita. The Ribeye was cooked beautifully, was juicy and had lots of flavor. At no fault to the restaurant, there was a lot of fat on our cut. Disappointingly, the veggies and mashed potatoes tasted bland and basic, as if from a can. The carbonara was delicious, with crunchy bacon bits and fresh tomato cuts. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was the right consistency. The garlic fries lacked actual "garlic" flavoring, and tasted like regular fries. The blackberry margarita was very delicious. 3/5 stars - Will return
