Overpriced and low quality. The beans tasted old and disintegrated in my mouth. The potatoes were obviously made from those frozen bags. They're also trying to pass off pot roast as machaca.

The Downtown Cafe was a great experience the server I had was excellent. The food came out hot and prepared to be eaten. Every table has all the condiments that you will need for your meal which I find very convenient. Only reason I gave the food 4 stars is simply because I wish restaurants would go away from these chicken tenders and actually give whole wings with the waffle. Completely different taste as well as texture would take that meal in a new direction.

Very very lovely place! Clean, attentive staff, friendly! My mother and I enjoyed our time there and would recommend this to anyone!
The only complaint I had was the fruit I got, the strawberries tasted like perfume or soap. Very odd.
Other than that everything tasted delicious ?

I had been wanting to try this place for over a year. Finally we drove there. I have even been sharing it with friends and family. Finally we drive out and I was disappointed! The food was nothing like it’s being advertised on instagram. To say I have asked my husband to remind me of this experience the next time I want to try anything being advertised on social media.

The food is not good here I've gone twice and the second time I was embarrassed I brought someone with me. Food was sparse, I ordered a breakfast platter and it was worse than McDonald's breakfast.

We recently dined at Downtown Café in Oxnard and had a fantastic experience! The Eggs Benedict were absolutely delicious – perfectly cooked and seasoned. The ambiance of this place is charming, and their freshly squeezed orange juice was a delightful addition to the meal. I'm eagerly looking forward to my next visit!" ??

Loved their food, not so much their service, too bad we moved tables from Alejandras side to Jasmines side.I asked for extra hominy on my pozole, didn't get it,Asked for flour tortillas, got corn, didn't get a spoon for my pozole had to use the small one from my coffee.They got me flour tortillas, about 20 minutes later after I complaint, by this time I was taking my last bite of food.However food was good!
