50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Oak View

“they are sweet and kind“

“Authentic Mexican food I'm going there tomorrow yummy breakfast“

“Just a heads up to everyone.. they're closed until Jan 17 2022 :(“

“Classic Ojai summer evenings with exceptional music!“

“Did I just drive across town after having a mediocre burrito only to get this divine download of a meal. Why yes I did. Worth it. Got bacon and chorizo for less than $15. Just spent 21 down the street and couldn’t do it. Crappy competitor pictured in back where it belongs. Front breakfast burrito pictured in front, close to me, where it’s warm 😏🫰🏽 never had a bad meal here. You’re welcome.“

“Delicious food Great service Warm chips a d perfect fountain drinks!!!“

“Okay but Ojai on a weekday with actual energy??? I was shook (in a good way).

Yes, technically we have The Hub holding it down till 2am… but overall let’s be real, Ojai is a sleepy town. So walking into Radio Roma felt like a plot twist.

The vibe? Dim, cozy, a little moody in that effortless way. It’s on the smaller side but it works. There’s a loft upstairs you can actually see from below, which adds to the whole layered, intimate feel.

The hi-fi listening room is what really sets it apart. Vintage sound system, DJs actually curating music, people tuned in. Not just filler noise, it’s a whole moment.

Cocktails were solid, especially if you’re into mezcal. They’re known for it and it shows. The mezcal Negroni?? Yeah… that’s the one. Smooth, balanced, a little smoky, dangerously easy to keep ordering.

Service is easygoing, no fuss. Grab a drink at the bar and head upstairs to the loft for the best view, trust.

Haven’t tried the food yet so can’t speak on that (for now), but between the music, the crowd, and the drinks alone… I’ll definitely be back.“

“Everething menudo and tortas de asada ala diabla the best“

“Maggies has been our family go to for mexican food for I dont even know how many years now. Their carne asada, bean rice & cheese burrtitos are favs but corn burritos are too. Its a toss up at times lol so we sometimes get the asada burrito + corn burritos & share.
Hot sauce could make anything taste good haha because its so tasty with just the right amt of heat
Easy location & staff are always so nice. Our family loves their food so much we even used them for catering my sons rehearsal dinner😁“

“The absolute best tacos on the Avenue and #1 in the world the owner and employees are very kind people and excellent customer service“

“We Recommend Everything!“

“I gotta say it was my first time trying this taco spot in Ventura. the tacos was super deelish, fresh guac and chips, and the rice was Soo good😋 follow your taste buds!!! I highly recommend try this place out if you haven't already you won't be disappointed!!!“

“me,, gusta las Carnitas,,, tienen,, buen Servicio,,, y la cuenta sale rasonable“

“I came here she micheladas and appetizers with a friend. First time I got chips and salsa and was disappointed. They didn’t have guacamole and their salsa was a miss for me. The spicy sauce was really spicy though so I liked that but no flavor. Their French fries though are incredible. They taste like McDonald’s fries and they give you double the amount for only $4. I’ve never had a Michelada before but I feel like it could have been better. And the mix was just ok. Will still go back for one and definitely for the fries. The decor is not it. Cobwebs on the walls everything looks outdated. The booths are dark and dingy. Not a good place for a date night. Stick to the drinks and fries and you’ll be fine.“

“Its hard to find a good Mexican food spot in this area for me that I will actually like and Lalo's is one of the spots that I like!The meat is good quality compared to a few other local Mexican restaurants I've tried around the area, my go to meat is usually carne asada or chicken and my favorite dishes to get here are tortas, burritos, and nachos.“

“Best Mexican on this side of Ventura! Insanely kind staff, and you can tell the food is always cooked with love.

I’ve been here a few times, one of which I ordered online and when I came to pick it up, they were actually closed for construction. The cashier, who I’m assuming was the manager, was very apologetic and offered to call in my order at a restaurant nearby. But I had a migraine and honestly just wanted to go home. Today I came in to pick up dinner, and he insisted that it was on him!! So not necessary, but so kind. <3

The birria combo is really good. If you want something filling and fast their rice and bean burrito with chicken is great too!“

“Awesome food best hot salsas too!!! I’ll be back?“

“OMG the food is amazing!!! I've tried shrimp tacos, shrimp burritos, enchiladas and more and nothing has disappointed me! Everything is so good!!!!!!! If you're thinking of ordering from here DO IT!“

“Great food and drinks.The spice Jalapeno Margarita is excellent 👌 The staff is very friendly and it comes with a beautiful view“

“the best Tacos and home made food!“

“Awesome little discovery. The food and salsas are delicious. They made me a custom breakfast burrito with Chile Rellano. It was so good.“

“Absolutely astonishingly delicious. Service was quick, multilingual, fantastically polite, and the food came out hot and fast. There's only one table, it wobbles a bit, and you're overlooking a parking lot, but the food is good enough to close your eyes and take you anywhere else you'd like to go“

“always a family favorite“

“This place has amazing food! The sauces, which they sell separately, if wanted, are so so good! We loved the Chicken Guadelajara, the sweet mole (almost tasted like a dessert), the chicken enchiladas, the drunk chicken… everything! So yummy!“

“Amazing place great food I highly recommend it.“

“First off, one of the only places in Ojai that had INDOOR seating with AC. Every restaurant we went to all had patio seating. It was 107 degrees. Who on God's green earth wants to melt outdoors while eating!?!?

I ordered 2 tacos plus some sort of open face burrito. The tacos were very good with lots of meat...gear those for sure. The beef and chicken were both tasty. The open faced burrito, I forget the name of the dish. I didn't like it at all.

The decor is pretty awful and dated. Could use an update. Take most of the tchotchkes off the walls, fresh pain on the walls, update the tables and chairs, and this could be a much nicer Mexican restaurant.

You have something most places don't have indoor real estate for people to eat inside to get away from the heat. Also very easy to make a simple Margherita you can offer customers and boost sales.“

“Amazing 😉 best food in town hands down“

“I flew in from Boston and my mom is from up the coast in Santa Margarita. This was a perfect start to our Ojai experience. Delicious meal. So many options and we each enjoyed or respective meals: Mango Snapper and Quinoa Greens, and Grilled veggie Quesadilla. Delish! All on the cozy, charming patio strung with festive lights.“

“muy delicioso, excelente sabor“

“We've been coming here since it opened in 2018. It is our favorite Mexican restaurant! We've brought so many family and friends here over the years. Everyone loves Blue Agave and it is the best! The food and drinks are always so good and the service outstanding. Thank you!“

“This place rocks. Salsa bar and free chips if you’re eating “for here”. Carnitas have crispy bits and are well cooked. Their prices are affordable, have fun drinks as well. You can see them making tortillas and generous portions. A lot of intentionality and a job well done. Best Mexican food in Ventura in my opinion.“

“Great Coctel de Camarón 👍🏽👍🏽“

“Corn burritos are my go to every time I go there!“

“Shout out to the wonderful staff at Sharky’s in Ventura. Love the food, of course, but the employees make this a wonderful place to eat. 😊😊“

“Great customer service n friendly staff“

“A homey restaurant, with the most friendly staff that makes you feel at home, so much so I forgot to take pictures and videos of the place 🤣. The star of the show came right away, the refried beans with the chips and salsa! 🤤🤤🤤. I can't remember the last time something was that good! Plenty of on site parking, handicap ♿️ friendly parking and entrance, lots and LOTS of menu options (including vegan)

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of parking, entrance and 1st floor entrance (only 1 floor)“

“Corn burritos are my go to every time I go there!“

“Great food. Great Service! Great prices! only downfall is they do not serve fresh brewed coffee!“

“Delicious food. Nice staff who very attentive and treat us like family. Great entertainment on most nights -- Salsa on Thursdays and Country dancing on Saturdays with a DJ or a good band. Vaquero is a favorite restaurant of ours.❤️“

“Heard a lot of great things about Mother’s Tacos, so I finally decided to give them a try Friday night for dinner.I ordered the papas locas which are similar to asada fries. They were good, but I do feel like they could have used a bit more sauce. My least favorite part was the service. It felt a bit all over the place. We were seated at a communal table and it took a while to get help. When we finally did, it honestly felt like we were bothering the server just to place our order.Also, for being called Mother’s Tacos, I was definitely hoping for tacos at dinner since that is what I was most excited for.That said, I would still go back and give it another shot during lunch to try the tacos everyone talks about.“

“Best Mexican food on the planet!“

“Always a treat when I'm in that part of Ventura. I had some corn burritos & a Carne asada burrito and they were excellent as always! The owner is super friendly. He says they've been there 50 years now! I love supporting small businesses like this one. I'll definitely be back again, hopefully they're still hanging on.“

“Atmosphere: reminds me of an old taco bell from the 80s. But repainted with murals.I only tried a couple tiny street tacos, but they were very good. My friend loved the burrito.Will go again.

Parking: On a busy day, I can see this shared parking lot as difficult to get in and out of, but luckily it was an off time and there was an open spot.“

“found this truck open late after a concert and it was still super busy at 11 pm .... lots of locals so I knew it would be good...it was actually GREAT, the tacos at this truck were quite possibly the best I've ever had in my life!!! yummy salsa too , fresh churros and really friendly staff. If I'm lucky enough to visit Ventura again I'll definitely go back to this place!!! thank you !!!! 10/10“

“These guys really give great customer service, a little hidden gem right by the beach. Gotta try the tacos, gotta try everything... yeshua was great , good vibes for my Saturday, what a delight to have such great service.“

“We have been faithful customers for years and they never disappoint! Delicious food, amazing customer service and fast delivery! Tonight we got a personal phone call that there were two large orders in front of ours and that she wouldn’t start cooking our food until the drivers were back to deliver it fresh! Now that is service! Thank you Karina’s!!!“

“First visit there even though I've known about it it for quite some time. Saw that they do machaca and eggs in a breakfast burrito so i had to go with that.Very happy with my choice. Tasted just like I remembered the first time I ever had machaca.The staff is very nice and the service was excellent. Heading back to the water store soon so another visit is close at hand. Menu has a good amount to choose from so I'll need to start thinking now.“

“Los mejores platillos un sabor inigualable muy buen servicio“
