“Never had a bad meal here. Food is always excellent. Diablo tar tar is a favorite. Only detractor is the noise level. The inside ambiance is sterile and noise reflects off everything. Tapestries, sound absorbing ceiling, anything would be an improvement.”
“It's a really nice place for breakfast, location its cool (you can see the planes). The service is more than excellent, there is always a huge line in the entrance because it is popular but it's worth it. The food is really good, i recommend the California Omelette ?”
“Had a wonderful time coming to dine here! Everything to the service and food was delightful. Every worker was attentive even the owner was on the floor helping which is lovely to see because you don't see that a lot in restaurants. Both inside and outside seating is so welcoming and cute. The menu has so many great options it's hard to choose I was most excited for my entree! I highly recommend coming in the food was top tier and I will definitely be coming back!”
“Visiting from UK so had fish chips lovely fish just wish the chips were home made and chunky instead of chips from a bag and thin but very nice restaurant well worth ”
“Amazing food, great service and perfect for a group or if you're flying solo. Japanese pot stickers were delicious and the Kowsoi, most definitely recommend! Portion was filling and satisfying. I will definitely recommend to everyone I know and will be returning.”

Friendly staff brings a basket with a variety of freshly homemade mini muffins to your table,They are delicious❣️My favorites are the Camarillo Omelet, stuffed with Ortega Chili, and Monterrey Jack Cheese. And, you won't find a better Machaca and eggs anywhere else.”

“Quite liked this place!Our server Mauricio was very friendly and attentive.The food was quite good--we got the patatas braves, ceviche, and shrimp tacos.The broccoli soup could use some improvement--more depth of flavor and more broccoli, probably.The hot tea was nice, too--unexpectedly fancy with peeled ginger, strawberry, and mint.There aren't many tables so it's not noisy and easy to have a conversation.Looking forward to taking more people here!”

“Lana was so sweet and made me feel cared for. Warm welcoming ! Her co-workers seemed tired & hardworking. Nonetheless she seemed happy and provided the best service.”
“I love Ubatuba! It's always a great refreshing snack and pick me up. My kiddos love it too with so many great ways to make a bowl. Tried their Mac n cheese empanada with their oil and it was bomb!”
“Very delicious. Prices are a bit below average for above average food, always a winning combo. - menu is very basic, 11 core items and a handful of basic extras~ worth a stop in for your next burrito ?”
“I stopped by the other shop and saw the employee jumping photo and recognized that kaylee(kaylen?) Has been with the company from almost the start, I've worked a couple places in camarillo and seeing the mister softee truck making it's rounds can always make a hard day easier. So kudos to her and you guys for being around! You guys must have something special going to have such good employee retention!”
“Food was very good. The gal behind the register was friendly and the flavors were definitely there.We ate Chinese but we simply do not have the energy to make so many dishes and to be honest all the chopping and dicing. Nope!I'm that slightly lazy Asian who will not make Chinese food unless I'm threatened.I think this family is from China as their flavors have a sweetness to it rather than the tart in Taiwan. Still, food was quite good and much closer than Monterey Park/Arcadia.Will be back.”
“Highly recommend this place! Old Town Camarillo is stoked to have this place. We can't wait to come back. I need those wellness shots in my life, everyday! Thank you!”

“Their new Italian Deli is absolutely amazing. The classic Italian sub is stuffed to the brim with meats and veggies. A ton of authentic Italian grocery items like pasta, olives and sauce. They deli also sells pizza, salads, pasta salads and has great lunch combos. My fav so far is the beef dip sandwich and the chicken cesar salad add green olives! Don’t miss out on this one of a kind Italian deli in Ventura county. Pictured is the classic Italian sandwich and Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Best deli in Camarillo!”

Hidden Cafe
“I adored my Chorizo Burger and plan on replicating it at home. My partner got the Loco Moco Deluxe with Fried Rice. Though he liked it, he would not get it again because of how rich it was.”
Outdoor Dining
“Interesting place with a lot of contradictions. Found them online - their social media presence is top notch, as they showcase their amazing mixology. I didn't need to read reviews: I was hooked by their craft.After seeing their online pizzazz I went to their website to view their food menu. It says "check out our Instagram for more information about food," yet I found nothing there. But on their website they call themselves a wine and beer bar. Same here on their Yelp description. So now I'm thinking they're duplicating cocktails using various wines, similar to a place in Ojai. Yet I did see liquor bottles in their social media. I was ready to solve the mystery. On arrival I was first surprised by the exterior, which is very non-descript in an older strip mall of sorts. Entering, it struck me as a dive bar: small, dated, with a pool table to the left. A couple monitors over the bar with 4 more monitors coming together as a large, single one on the wall opposite. Not what I expected based on the Instagram posts. But I also saw literally more bottles of liquor than at any other bar. Walls were filled with shelves of perfectly organized alcohol - seemed to be mostly whiskey, as they do advertise over 500 kinds. But nothing was overlooked. They could obviously create most anything you wanted.I found a spot at the bar, asked the gentleman behind it about the creations I saw online, and he gave me a special drink menu saying he was just the bar back. He did refer to a lady at the other end of the bar saying she was the bartender and could answer my questions. After waiting a little bit it seemed she wasn't available so I chose something from the menu that had an interesting description ("Honey 4 My Honey"), and the bar back passed the word on to her.They don't have food there, yet you can order from a little place a few doors down, when it's open, from a limited menu with 4 selections. Or you can have food delivered from wherever you'd like - they're very good in that regard. I opted for the nearby place.I really wanted to get some guidance for my second drink. I've dealt with mixologists who want to dazzle you. They love talking to you about what you like or don't, and then creating something special. This wasn't the place for that. So I asked the gentleman to please let the bartender know that I'd like to speak with her when she has a moment. After some time she came over and gave me a few suggestions based on their most popular drink and her favorite.I made my second choice ("Grapefruit Dead") and that was that.The drinks were beautiful and delicious. They were also meticulously prepared, as I watched from the opposite end of the bar. They didn't seem potent, but this was a Wednesday, and apparently all cocktails are $10 - can't beat that deal. It's also about the mix - not just feeling the effects.As the name states, The Local really is a local's bar. Everyone seems to know everyone. A patron near me pointed out the owner, who was sitting mid-bar. And yes, the artist who created their menu cover nailed the rendition of him. I didn't get warm and friendly vibes from anyone other than the bar back - I was definitely odd-man-out. But perhaps if I show up enough I can become a "local."”
“Had a wonderful time coming to dine here! Everything to the service and food was delightful. Every worker was attentive even the owner was on the floor helping which is lovely to see because you don't see that a lot in restaurants. Both inside and outside seating is so welcoming and cute. The menu has so many great options it's hard to choose I was most excited for my entree! I highly recommend coming in the food was top tier and I will definitely be coming back!”
“It is one of the classic quintessential California burger joints whose burger is defined by their name. If you're an In-N-Out lover, you're definitely aware of at least some of their secret menu. My favorite go-to is the Flying Dutchman with double grilled onions and two extra patties! ?”

“We have enjoyed breakfasts, brunches & lunches as we work our way through the extensive menu. Without exception everything has been delicious & creative. Fantastic hollandaise, calif mexican, potatoes & more. Friendly service. Only complaint is how early they close! We'd happily eat the same menu at dinner!”
“Cool staff, nice atmosphere, and excellent food. Everything you'd want from a nice restaurant. Don't overlook the buttercake! Though a little smaller than a place like Mastro's, it's on point!”
“A great dinner as usual. We were accompanied by two other couples who were visiting us from San Diego and they were very impressed by the food, the wonderful and friendly service. Bistro 13 is the best of the best, kudos to the owner.”
“We did have to wait about 25 minutes for a table for 4- but this was during happy hour on a Friday around 4pm. Thankfully we sat in time for happy hour with just a few minutes to spare. I believe her name was Arielle - the waitress. She attended us and was 100 percent pleasant to interact with. She was exceptionally nice and attentive shoutout to her! Food was great and so were the beers - even though it was a full house the rest of the servers brought us our drinks suprisingly quick- I’m talking literally about 3 minutes after we ordered! The food was served very fast too within about 15 minutes. Ambiance was very nice too. It was my first time there but we will definitely be going back.”
“Pizza was delicious, and the beer was tasty. Neat atmosphere and a nice patio. The staff was nice. The facility was clean. Also, you can see all the brewing equipment.”
“The review is really for the staff. My husband and I eat lunch here sometime bc his office is near by. Tommy the manager is so sweet he has the face of angel, is always smiling, and working hard. I think her name is Itzel the young Hispanic girl with braces, we have an inside joke about the parmesan. They are great employees that always give great service, and they deserve to be recognized. The food is decent, but what really sets this location apart are the employees. I hope someone in management reads this.”
“Tried batchoy for the very 1st time dam I've been missing out surprisingly I don't know of any other Illocano place in Cerritos, LA area. Too bad its far from me but worth the stop.”
“Incredible kind staff, they explain to you ALL the ingredients, calories, and protein. When they said meal replacement, they were not kidding! Our plan was to grab a shake and a bagel from next door but the shake left us too satisfied, so we decided to wait on the bagel until later.We tried the seasonal flavors, and they were very yummy. Great resource for people looking for healthy alternatives for shakes.Their place is also super cute to hang out and take your shake, but most people were picking up online orders.”
“We haven’t eaten here in a couple years and I’m disappointed I’ve been missing out. My family inhaled their dinner. Their quesabirria tacos were AMAZING and the consomé so flavorful. I also ordered a crispy carnitas taco and it was so simple but so delicious. We’ll be back!”
“My favorite brewery in Camarillo and probably Ventura county, always a good vibe on a sunny day and love their beers. It's also the only place that I can bring my dog to near me! Definitely come here if youre in town”

Fantastic hollandaise, calif mexican, potatoes & more. Friendly service. Only complaint is how early they close! We'd happily eat the same menu at dinner!”
“I came here with a date and the later with family. I loved this place!! We felt so welcomed and they didn't hurry us to leave when we stayed past their closing. (We didn't realize how late it was :c ))They were so gentle and kind and even spoke to us with a lovely conversation.The food is very good! It's my second time eating and wow I have missed out. The flavor of their spicy is savory. So it doesn't burn you for the sake of burning. It's just tasty!It's on the 14-19$ per dish side. Tho their is cheaper options. Unlike other places I think the price is very just. Even more so that they make it fresh not just having it their like other places.Love the cheese bread thing. Im sorry I forgot the name. AnywaysLove it. Will come again each time I have money for it”
“Cool staff, nice atmosphere, and excellent food. Everything you'd want from a nice restaurant. Don't overlook the buttercake! Though a little smaller than a place like Mastro's, it's on point!”

“Came here on Valentine’s Day and it was a great decision! Romantic ambience and candles all over. Excellent delicious food good drinks and fast attentive service. Will be back!”
“Don’t judge a book by its over. Once you walk through the doors you are transported to another place. This restaurant is beautiful and a peaceful place to enjoy a tasty meal. The menu features both Thai and Peruvian food. We ordered Peruvian dishes that were incredible. The meat was very tenderized and flavored in a way that will having you craving it for days after your visit! Amazing service and a must try if you’re in the area looking for something new.”
“Good for the area due to lack of choices in Camarillo. They seem content to be takeout only because the ambience to dine in is not inviting. Suggestion to owners if you want to increase dine in patrons and just make your plce look more appealing - turn on the lights inside, especially the individual booth lights and put up a screen or planter separating the dine in area from the lobby and cash register”
“Although the restaurant was pretty empty I thought it was good. They were out of a few things like the albondigas soup. The chips and salsa were good. I heard they use to not serve those. I got a shrimp empanada as an appetizer and I liked it. The enchilada plate was good. The bartender was attentive and refilled my coke a couple of times. The ambience could be good if busier because the interior is really nice. The food was good solid Mexican food and who can't root for a restaurant named for an endangered amphibian. I hope more people come because it was good and I think with time it will get even better.”

“Staff at night is great. Food was great. The hot cocoa was fire. Love that it's open 24hrs. Best late night spot to go. And it's also one of the few places open to go eat ”
“Why is Mcdonalds Coke so much better than everyone else's Coke? Why are their fries unmatched all these years later? It's weird, but it's delicious so shut up. Beware of anyone who says they don't like Mcdonalds because they are most likely lying. Who doesn't like that "Mcdonalds taste"? I don't know what magic they use to make ALL of their food, including their drinks, have that certain "Mcdonalds taste", but it's good. Or maybe it's bad. Either way, I'm hooked. Yeah sometimes it might make you feel a little sick, but it still tasted good when you were eating it so there.Here's the hook:Mcdonalds - It's not really good for you, but it's really good to eat once every so often. Not too often! Just once every so often.Kid-friendliness: kids love Mcdonalds”
“Compared to McDonald's in San Francisco where i live, this is like heaven on earth. Nice, intelligent employees, a warm atmosphere and a budget friendly menu all add up to a satisfying experience!”
“I love me some Del Taco. This one is the best in all of Ventura County! Their service is always on point, fast. And their tacos and burritos are always full of meat and cheese, the good stuff! Please keep it up guys I love driving the extra few miles to get a good fill up of Del Taco!”

“Great fresh fish expertly butchered. That's what I look for in a sushi parlor first and foremost. The assorted sashimi plate was delectable. Rolls were flavorful with great mouthfeel, alternatively crunchy, creamy, salty, umami. Nummy! Miso was bleh but the cucumber salad lept out of the bowl. Mussels were very good if you like Mussels.”
Takeout Restaurants
“Amazing place! Stopped here on our way to Palm Springs. We loved the enchiladas and quesadilla. The chips are nice and fresh as well and the salad was really good. We love the vibe since there are all of these cool, signed surf posters and boards. We will definitely be coming back again!!!”
“I have been going to urbane cafe for about 2 years now, at least once a month if not more. Their salmon bowl is what really got me hooked but at the Camarillo Daily Dr location I had a frustrating experience with one of the staff not wanting to accommodate the salmon salad to my food allergy. Previous experiences I have had with a young man he has gladly changed the dish for me. This is the type of customer service I am used to from them. I am disappointed by my visit today to say the least, I still love Urbane and 99% of their staff. Please be kinder to people who have allergies, we still want to enjoy food just as much as other people.Dietary restrictions: won't accommodate for allergies”
“I absolutely adore this Filipino style coffee shop!! I come here very often, trying new items from the menu each time. I especially recommend the chicken adobo, and the house favorite Filipino donut is super yummy(everything is freshly made as well) I am always pleased with the service. Even when the shop is busy I never have to wait long to get my order. Just a tip, I recommend ordering in store rather than ordering online because the online menu is being updated. Super friendly and welcoming staff too, great way to start off the day with a good conversation :) It’s not very often you find such a unique place around this area, definitely adds more liveliness(+deliciousness)Always great to try something new.I hope this helps another coffee lover out there!!”
“Coffee, cafe & rotating art gallery!Really great vibe in this coffee shop!We were greeted at the front door by a muralist that was painting the area history in the entry way.We had a large party and we all ordered separately. Great friendly service & the drinks were served quickly & hotThere was a menu of drinks and food items. we ordered a variety for the table to share.We were in the area on a tour. The Tree Lounge was a welcoming spot to find. With WiFi!Lots of other guests milling about the space. Wonderful assortment of artwork thru out. A Fun way to enjoy the space!Thanks for the great time at your tree lounge!Wheelchair accessibility: Easy accessLarge entry way in first level off of sidewalk.Not far from street parkingLots of seating options inside”
“The team is always really friendly and hardworking - I’ve been meaning to hop on here and leave a review. My family enjoys the pizzas - we’ll often take a large pizza to go and we can all add the toppings we want at home. It ends up being one of our favorite pizzas in town.”
“Super welcoming, friendly place.Nice place to play pool with friends. Nice selection of draft beers as well. Minor friendly during the afternoon and evening so you can bring your kids to watch the game or play some ”
“Easily my favorite Chinese food in the area. I go a few times a month and every time I've had excellent service from really friendly people working. They take excellent care of me, helping me get exactly what I want. The fried rice here is so good, and the beef with broccoli, wish I could buy that sauce YUM! they have really good made to order soups too. I love the noodle soup, all the soups have been good though!Friendly staff, delicious food!”

“Good and very friendly worker, owner very nice knows his regular customers. The price is worth your pocket. We come once or 2x/week.Vegetarian options: Chicken with lots of different kinds of Vegies-is the Best. But always to remind not to cook with too much salt and they would listen-thats what i liked about them.”
“Great pizza, always friendly workers. Never had a bad pizza here. For people complaining about price, remember you're supporting local business, not a chain!”
“The Sunday brunch included delicious dishes such as mole, ribs, menudo, pozole, eggs made to order, shrimp, cheese and chicken enchiladas, shrimp or fish ceviche, bite-sized desserts like caramel flan and impossible flan and jamaica to drink. The bottomless mimosas were a bit more elusive. I had to ask two times if there were mimosas included with the brunch, and finally went up to the cashier to ask for ketchup because no one was checking the tables when one of the girls looked up from talking in the kitchen and finally brought out a small wineglass with a mimosa. I only wanted one, but it was a challenge to get. While there were four or five women in the front reception area and kitchen, it was very difficult to catch a waitress to attend our needs. The egg station was in another room at the bar( no one told us that either- my friend just happened to know.) I asked for a coffee and only café de olla was being served, but they nicely made a fresh pot for me. In summary, food was great, atmosphere was festive, but at $75 dollars for two people for brunch, the table service could be improved.”
“This is your typical ice cream that is a bit more expensive but worth the price. A single scoop is around $7, but the scoops are big and the flavors are more unique. I tried black pepper pistachio, which surprisingly worked. It tastes a lot like pistachio but is a teeny bit spicy. I've had spicy ice creams before that were gross. This is not gross. I also tried the Irish Coffee flavor (special for Saint Patrick's Day) and it was pretty good. The texture was a bit spongy and bouncy.I like ice cream and this is a fun ice cream shop”
“It's pointless to look elsewhere for worlds best American style Pizza, Toppers is the last stop, I can eat its carnitas pizza everyday for the rest of my life, but unfortunately the pizzas quality varies by the location and i can say Simi could be the best and Valencia location is the worst, I wish they cover more areas specially around LA”
“We came here for the first time because of the Sweet Deals beer booklet. We would have never stumbled upon it because it's in an industrial area that we don't ever drive near. The menu has beer, wine, appetizers, and pizza. Our beer booklet covered one beer each and an appetizer. We decided to have the blonde beer, the hazy hefenweizen, fried caulifower, and the artisan bread. The blonde beer and hazy hefenweizen were both great. The fried cauliflower was mediocre. It seemed a little undercooked and could have been more crispy. We also would have liked more sauce on it. The artisan bread had fresh, fluffy pizza dough which we really liked. This one was suppsoed to be truffle flavored and we did not taste any truffle. There was mushrooms and balsamic glaze on it and the flavor was overall bland. If I come back, I would be open to trying the pizza, but would not get the items that we had.The inside of Flat Fish is really big. The cellar area is big enough to have a large party or group. They have a stage in the cellar area where they have events with live music. The owner who helped us was friendly and nice. Flat Fish has a laid back vibe. We loved the beer and would return to grab one of their beers.”
“The Peking Inn in Camarillo is one of the best Chinese restaurants, anywhere! We've been going here for a long time and it always has consistently, good food. It's not a fancy place but it's nice enough for us.”

“We had lunch at Rice by Mama in Camarillo, which just opened yesterday in the spot next to the closed 3-screen movie theater on Lantana. We know a lot of people who’ve been to the Ventura location but this was our first time eating at Rice by Mama. WOW, is it good! We got pad thai and green curry plus thai iced coffee and thai iced tea. The flavor of the noodles and curry had a richness that is rare. This might already be the best Thai food in Camarillo”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“What can I say, Jimmy John's is the jam. This spot is fast, professional, place is always clean and kept well. Food is epic - one cannot go wrong with the #5 Vito. Recommend doing a mega and saving the second half for dinner or lunch the next day. Been to lots of chain and small sandwich spots - Jimmy John's knows how to make bread and a sandwich. You won't go wrong with any of them, but especially this spot. Next to the free way and a good spot that healthy, fast, and good.”
“I ordered the double spicy western burger it was Amazing the taste idk what is it with their patties but they are tasty. Their cashier is friendly greeted me and offered if I wanted desert. I said no maybe next time lol. Excellent service. The place is clean and bathrooms as well.”
“Jocelyn, at the drive-through window, was extremely pleasant to deal with! She seemed to genuinely enjoy her job, and I will definitely make my way back to this location if she is the standard for how employees interact with customers. The food was also delicious.”
“It's become our goto Pizza place. We like the Calzone deal if it's a Tuesday. And on the occasional Friday TV night with friends, we buy pizzas. Flavor is good and the price is right.”
“Late burger run. Limited staff took care of three Customers well.Parking: Drive-thru only night hours.Kid-friendliness: King crown paper hats still available. No more toys - too many litigating lawyers.Wheelchair accessibility: All gender access - restrooms plumbed for wheelchair too.”
“Taco Bell has become one of my favorite fast food restaurants. I ordered through the Taco Bell app and the service was very quick and my food was ready to go as soon as I pulled up to the drive thru-window.”
“Food is good. Especially on the bench, the cashier, not sure if she’s manager, tall white girl with long strait hair with pony tail (sorry for the description, didn’t get her name)She is really nice and helpful, shrewd with quick response. Honestly the best customer service for fast food restaurants I’ve ever had.Parking: In plaza”
“The Jack in the Box restaurant in Camarillo, Verdugo Way, is a decent place with convenient parking. However, it should be noted that the Grilled chicken sandwich doesn't live up to its picture in the app. Overall, it's a decent spot to grab a bite.”
“Food was suprisingly well made very well!Typically/Unfortunately, what we have all come to almost except from a fast food service are poorly made items. Especially at the Bell.But we usually choose going for fast food when we need something quick or just don't feel like cooking.So, when the people there actually wow us by doing what should be what we'd hope to be getting for our dollar then it stands out as exceptional!Well it definitely seemed like the crew that made our food at this location took pride in what they produced.Our food had the Perfect proportional meat to dressings ratio in each item we purchased.Our order was: Tacos, Cheesey Steak Burritos, Mexican Pizzas, and Gorditas.Best of all, nothing fell apart from being to soggy.That said, we highly recommend going here.Great job, team Taco Bell!”
“I like it here but they forgot my side salad and refused to give me a refund or another side when I came back. So I paid for a salad and didn’t get it.edit: customer service was awesome, called me and made things right. They have an awesome corporate team!”
“It's Jack in Box. My go to is the 2 tacos and get a side like stuffed jalapenos or egg rollsParking: Limited parking, but I've never had trouble getting a face. There is a small parking lot on either side of the building.”
“Who needs a review for MckyD's? If you choose your fast food based on reviews, you need to reevaluate your expectations.Btw McDonald's ice cream is seriously the best if their machines weren't broken more often than not lol this location has been on top of it though. Good management.”
“The Sunday brunch included delicious dishes such as mole, ribs, menudo, pozole, eggs made to order, shrimp, cheese and chicken enchiladas, shrimp or fish ceviche, bite-sized desserts like caramel flan and impossible flan and jamaica to drink. The bottomless mimosas were a bit more elusive. I had to ask two times if there were mimosas included with the brunch, and finally went up to the cashier to ask for ketchup because no one was checking the tables when one of the girls looked up from talking in the kitchen and finally brought out a small wineglass with a mimosa. I only wanted one, but it was a challenge to get. While there were four or five women in the front reception area and kitchen, it was very difficult to catch a waitress to attend our needs. The egg station was in another room at the bar( no one told us that either- my friend just happened to know.) I asked for a coffee and only café de olla was being served, but they nicely made a fresh pot for me. In summary, food was great, atmosphere was festive, but at $75 dollars for two people for brunch, the table service could be improved.”
“It's pointless to look elsewhere for worlds best American style Pizza, Toppers is the last stop, I can eat its carnitas pizza everyday for the rest of my life, but unfortunately the pizzas quality varies by the location and i can say Simi could be the best and Valencia location is the worst, I wish they cover more areas specially around LA”
“We came here for the first time because of the Sweet Deals beer booklet. We would have never stumbled upon it because it's in an industrial area that we don't ever drive near. The menu has beer, wine, appetizers, and pizza. Our beer booklet covered one beer each and an appetizer. We decided to have the blonde beer, the hazy hefenweizen, fried caulifower, and the artisan bread. The blonde beer and hazy hefenweizen were both great. The fried cauliflower was mediocre. It seemed a little undercooked and could have been more crispy. We also would have liked more sauce on it. The artisan bread had fresh, fluffy pizza dough which we really liked. This one was suppsoed to be truffle flavored and we did not taste any truffle. There was mushrooms and balsamic glaze on it and the flavor was overall bland. If I come back, I would be open to trying the pizza, but would not get the items that we had.The inside of Flat Fish is really big. The cellar area is big enough to have a large party or group. They have a stage in the cellar area where they have events with live music. The owner who helped us was friendly and nice. Flat Fish has a laid back vibe. We loved the beer and would return to grab one of their beers.”

“First time, take out. Best grilled tofu this 66 y.o. has ever tasted! Pho tom (shrimp) was beautiful, some assembly required but perfect for self portioning on chili sauce, sprouts et al. Place was busy on a Monday nght (good sign) and after eating our exceptional meal, we understand why! Highly recommend...we will definitely return.”
“The food is outstanding, the service is very friendly, and the prices are quite reasonable. My favorite dish is their Colorado Burrito. I've tried numerous things on the menu and haven't been disappointed. Highly recommended.”
“Great sandwiches. My go-tos are the "Godmother" and the "Pollo" which is chicken salad. The place is based in a well stocked liquor store which also means you can get any drink (soda) you want to go with the sandwich.They have a few tables outside if you want to eat on site.”
“We stopped at Green Olive Camarillo for quick dinner and omg the food was so delicious, we ordered Falafel, hummus, chicken kabob plate and shrimp kabob plate, they were all delicious and cooked very well, we will definitely come eat here again and we highly recommend to try ”
“The food here is really good, this is my go-to when I’m too tired to make dinner. The Cancun burrito is super good, and Jacks taco combo is great- they have a shack sauce that really elevates the tacos. They also have this really delicious California shrimp plate- with rice, veggies and shrimp sort of stir fried and it’s soooooo good! Highly recommend, I’m so glad I found this place ???”
“The hours are a little weird for food service, but my husband and I really enjoy the food. The ladies at the counter are always nice. The juices are great. The food is always good but not always consistent with how good. (Otherwise, I would've given them 5 stars)The regular burritos are better than the breakfast burritos (in my opinion). And the pastor is generally really good. The husband stops by in the mornings on his way home from work for a burrito and I stop in for the both of us ... probably once a week or two.They're good enough to keep going back to on a regular basis. I hope that says enough for how good they are :)”
“My new favorite pizza place! The food is delicious.. pizza, sandwiches, salad... all amazing! Also the restaurant is connected to an ice cream shop and a brewery! Highly recommend this place for a family dinner night!”
“The food here was such a pleasant surprise! Everything smelled and tasted so clean and fresh. We had the Falafel plate and the chicken shewarma plate and love it down to the lemon in the salad dressing! The hummus was tasty and the pitas were warm. Highly recommended.”
“This place is located in CUSCI in a nice courtyard area. The restaurant inside and the patio was clean with friendly and quick service. I took a star off as the nachos are your basic nachos, nothing really special about them but it will satisfy your nacho cravings. However, the grilled fish taco and the crispy fish tacos were fantastic. The fish didn't taste fishy which is a good thing in my opinion. The cilantro rice was nice and fresh. The salsa was super delicious with the perfect blend of fresh ingredients. All in all, I will be returning!”
“The food was great, but the service from all involved was even better. Fast, friendly professional staff. The owner personally inquires to ensure your dining experience is a good one.”
“$7 for two tiny Taquito's, beans would be another $6? Is this just because of Commi-Calli's economy? This is too expensive for me.. But dang it did taste really ”
“The food here did NOT disappoint!! I got a super chicharrón burrito and my friend got a super pastor burrito. They were both very delicious & I found my new favorite spot ? The Mexican bread was fresh & delicious as well!”
“An original dive bar. Great service, strong drinks and I enjoyed the music. The bartender Christie is a staple in the community and is an amazing mixologist. Great vibes here!”
“This is a wonderful little spot with great food at a great price. You definitely get more than you pay for. The employees are extremely nice, helpful, and polite. Highly recommend this place!!”
“Out of the couple of places you can get Ramen in camarillo, this one is the best. I don't like eating inside though. It's noisy and there's a lot of smells. We always get take ”
“The Peking Inn in Camarillo is one of the best Chinese restaurants, anywhere! We've been going here for a long time and it always has consistently, good food. It's not a fancy place but it's nice enough for us.”
“Gina from Camarillo Cupcakes is an extraordinary baker, as I've had the pleasure of experiencing firsthand at events in February. Her baked goods don't just look stunning—they taste incredible as well. The churro flavor, in particular, is a standout, offering a delightful blend of sweet, cinnamon-spiced excellence that is a must-try for any dessert aficionado.”
“Even though I live down the street. I had not been here in a while. Stopped in this afternoon to treat my husband for dinner. Had a Philly cheese steak sandwich (delicious). Even the bread was just right. And ice cold beer in a frozen bowl glass, it was perfect and wonderful. Thank you ”

“Staff at night is great. Food was great. The hot cocoa was fire. Love that it's open 24hrs. Best late night spot to go. And it's also one of the few places open to go eat ”
“It's a really nice place for breakfast, location its cool (you can see the planes). The service is more than excellent, there is always a huge line in the entrance because it is popular but it's worth it. The food is really good, i recommend the California Omelette ?”
“We have enjoyed breakfasts, brunches & lunches as we work our way through the extensive menu. Without exception everything has been delicious & creative. Fantastic hollandaise, calif mexican, potatoes & more. Friendly service. Only complaint is how early they close! We'd happily eat the same menu at dinner!”
“My son and I were getting hangry and found out one of our favorite restaurants dis-located (yes I used that word lol) from Camarillo outlets but with all of the other options we stood perusing four or five restaurants...and Pick Up Stix won.Delicious tofu options that some other fast food Asian cuisine has stopped giving those protein packed vegetarian options. We ordered Firecracker Tofu with egg fried rice, Coconut Tofu with chow mein noodles and can't forget the veggie egg rolls! The portions were huge and their prices are below anywhere else to tell you the truth! They do charge for upgrades but at $2 who cares...it's delicious and worth it!The veggies were plentiful but balanced...the tofu was overflowing and so delicious we didn't want to stop eating.”
“Based on experience in March 2023- Always pass by this place and finally decided to stop in after like 10 years hahaha.They open early at 4AM and close at 1PM. Get there early in the morning or by like 10-11AM most things are sold out.Pretty small and cozy donut shop. Just a counter with 2 seats and like 3-4 tables to enjoy the coffee and donuts in house.The French crullers are amazing. Very soft, bouncy, and airy all at the same time. That and their cinnamon crunch donut are my favorite out of the bunch I got around 1030ish. By then, about 60% of the donuts were gone.Service is alright - no smiles or any help despite letting them know it's our first visit. I guess they expect everyone to know what to order immediately. Could have been a bad day *shrugs*.The menu is easy to read if you want more than donuts. Fair pricing and it's best to follow their IG for updates on new donuts they're offering!”
“I came with my family for English tea service. We had the Windsor afternoon tea and the experience was exceptional. Our host was friendly and accommodating, and we enjoyed everything we tried.Be sure to call a day ahead for tea service.”
“Anytime I visit California, I always try to get as much Filipino food as I can as it’s one of my favorites. I saw that Tita Riza’s was close to my Airbnb so decided to check it out since they also are a small Filipino grocery store as well. One thing to keep in mind is that there are no spots to eat at in the restaurant. I would recommend taking the food to Laurelwood Park which is only 2-3 minutes away weather permitting.Food: Overall, very impressed! Not pictured in the attachments I included was the pork Siopao I also had. Everything was very tasty and had a homemade taste to it which I thoroughly enjoyed. Everything I had was yummy!Service: No complaints here! There’s only a few workers here making this small restaurant work and doing a great job.Ambiance: Tita Riza’s is a small to-go restaurant with a small market. They’re not really worried about ambiance here but they do have a nostalgic Asian restaurant feel to it which I enjoy.”

“We did have to wait about 25 minutes for a table for 4- but this was during happy hour on a Friday around 4pm. Thankfully we sat in time for happy hour with just a few minutes to spare. I believe her name was Arielle - the waitress. She attended us and was 100 percent pleasant to interact with. She was exceptionally nice and attentive shoutout to her! Food was great and so were the beers - even though it was a full house the rest of the servers brought us our drinks suprisingly quick- I’m talking literally about 3 minutes after we ordered! The food was served very fast too within about 15 minutes. Ambiance was very nice too. It was my first time there but we will definitely be going back.”
“My new favorite pizza place! The food is delicious.. pizza, sandwiches, salad... all amazing! Also the restaurant is connected to an ice cream shop and a brewery! Highly recommend this place for a family dinner night!”
“Absolutely amazing!! I met the owner, and I had such a great time getting to know him.If your health nut, as Mr D'amore says, then I can guarantee you'll love their gluten-free pizza. The food was excellent and was the service!”
“Easily my favorite Chinese food in the area. I go a few times a month and every time I've had excellent service from really friendly people working. They take excellent care of me, helping me get exactly what I want. The fried rice here is so good, and the beef with broccoli, wish I could buy that sauce YUM! they have really good made to order soups too. I love the noodle soup, all the soups have been good though!Friendly staff, delicious food!”
“Lana was so sweet and made me feel cared for. Warm welcoming ! Her co-workers seemed tired & hardworking. Nonetheless she seemed happy and provided the best service.”
“This is one of my favorite family restaurants. The atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming. I took my friends there, for their first time, and they'll be returning. They loved the food and especially the dessert. Peach Cobbler served with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Their REWARDS PROGRAM is "a must" to join.And the boutique!!!! I LOVE THEIR MECHANDISE TOO❤️Parking: Plenty of parking!!Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of parking for us. And the ramp is next to the restaurant. Entrance is double doors so there's no problem there. But when you, the boutique is there and a slightly tight fit for wheelchairs, but do-able?”
“Great spot for sandwiches. Incredibly friendly staff, exactly the type of place you'd want to grab a lunch sandwich. We tried the tritip and Italian sun and both were delicious. I assume other less favorable reviews are due to prices (it is on the pricey side) but I'd rather pay a few bucks more to support a local business than at a Jersey Mike's or the like.”
“Loved eating here. I got a burrito. It was well sized. The complementary tortilla chips were so good I was almost stuffed before the food came out. Definitely recommend.”
“My son and I were getting hangry and found out one of our favorite restaurants dis-located (yes I used that word lol) from Camarillo outlets but with all of the other options we stood perusing four or five restaurants...and Pick Up Stix won.Delicious tofu options that some other fast food Asian cuisine has stopped giving those protein packed vegetarian options.

“Food was very good. The gal behind the register was friendly and the flavors were definitely there.We ate Chinese but we simply do not have the energy to make so many dishes and to be honest all the chopping and dicing. Nope!I'm that slightly lazy Asian who will not make Chinese food unless I'm threatened.I think this family is from China as their flavors have a sweetness to it rather than the tart in Taiwan. Still, food was quite good and much closer than Monterey Park/Arcadia.Will be back.”
“This place is wonderful. My friend Ashlynn and I love coming here every week! We love the dairy free options and Caillou is so nice and helpful! We look forward to seeing him each time.”
“It is one of the classic quintessential California burger joints whose burger is defined by their name. If you're an In-N-Out lover, you're definitely aware of at least some of their secret menu. My favorite go-to is the Flying Dutchman with double grilled onions and two extra patties! ?”
“Very delicious I got an appetizer plate and a 2 for 26 menu item as well as the chicken alfredo with shrimp added into it a burger and their riblets. My son ended up getting their chicken strips with applesauce.Kid-friendliness: They are very accommodating and gave my son a pain when they were out of crayons and the food was delicious.Thank you Andrew and Elijah for the good service.”
“The food was great and for the first time in a while not only did the order come out right with special requests I had she remembered them without even writing them down. Very attentive customer service and the ramen was very good along with the spicy tuna crispy rice and tempura.”
“Quite liked this place!Our server Mauricio was very friendly and attentive.The food was quite good--we got the patatas braves, ceviche, and shrimp tacos.The broccoli soup could use some improvement--more depth of flavor and more broccoli, probably.The hot tea was nice, too--unexpectedly fancy with peeled ginger, strawberry, and mint.There aren't many tables so it's not noisy and easy to have a conversation.Looking forward to taking more people here!”
“Interesting place with a lot of contradictions. Found them online - their social media presence is top notch, as they showcase their amazing mixology. I didn't need to read reviews: I was hooked by their craft.After seeing their online pizzazz I went to their website to view their food menu. It says "check out our Instagram for more information about food," yet I found nothing there. But on their website they call themselves a wine and beer bar. Same here on their Yelp description. So now I'm thinking they're duplicating cocktails using various wines, similar to a place in Ojai. Yet I did see liquor bottles in their social media. I was ready to solve the mystery. On arrival I was first surprised by the exterior, which is very non-descript in an older strip mall of sorts. Entering, it struck me as a dive bar: small, dated, with a pool table to the left. A couple monitors over the bar with 4 more monitors coming together as a large, single one on the wall opposite. Not what I expected based on the Instagram posts. But I also saw literally more bottles of liquor than at any other bar. Walls were filled with shelves of perfectly organized alcohol - seemed to be mostly whiskey, as they do advertise over 500 kinds. But nothing was overlooked. They could obviously create most anything you wanted.I found a spot at the bar, asked the gentleman behind it about the creations I saw online, and he gave me a special drink menu saying he was just the bar back. He did refer to a lady at the other end of the bar saying she was the bartender and could answer my questions. After waiting a little bit it seemed she wasn't available so I chose something from the menu that had an interesting description ("Honey 4 My Honey"), and the bar back passed the word on to her.They don't have food there, yet you can order from a little place a few doors down, when it's open, from a limited menu with 4 selections. Or you can have food delivered from wherever you'd like - they're very good in that regard. I opted for the nearby place.I really wanted to get some guidance for my second drink. I've dealt with mixologists who want to dazzle you. They love talking to you about what you like or don't, and then creating something special. This wasn't the place for that. So I asked the gentleman to please let the bartender know that I'd like to speak with her when she has a moment. After some time she came over and gave me a few suggestions based on their most popular drink and her favorite.I made my second choice ("Grapefruit Dead") and that was that.The drinks were beautiful and delicious. They were also meticulously prepared, as I watched from the opposite end of the bar. They didn't seem potent, but this was a Wednesday, and apparently all cocktails are $10 - can't beat that deal. It's also about the mix - not just feeling the effects.As the name states, The Local really is a local's bar. Everyone seems to know everyone. A patron near me pointed out the owner, who was sitting mid-bar. And yes, the artist who created their menu cover nailed the rendition of him. I didn't get warm and friendly vibes from anyone other than the bar back - I was definitely odd-man-out. But perhaps if I show up enough I can become a "local."”
