50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Oxnard

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

“Tried La Villa 805 food truck on a whim and it was amazing!

We had the asada tacos, piggy tacos, and quesataco birria — all super fresh, full of flavor, and the portions were perfect.

The owners are so welcoming, and the customer service goes above and beyond — truly exceeds the highest rating.

The area is great with lots of parking and a clean, covered seating area.

Drinks are delicious too — the cucumber lime and horchata are a must-try.

Highly recommend!“

“One word: AMAZING!! Overall first class, from the owners to the staff to the quality in detail. They truly stand behind their food and you can taste the pride and love... Amazing describes it all...“

“The food is delicious and the owner exceles in both food and customer service quality. If you crave authentic Mexican food this is the place to go to. I eat here at least once a week sometimes twice I love it.“

“Going back to east coast and couldn't leave without visiting this amazing establishment. The food was wonderful. The other guests that sat at the outside tables consuming food with us were awesome too. People you must get out and go to these places and meet the citizens of this wonderful town! And eat this fresh, hot and amazing food while at it!“

“Had some time to kill this week and headed in to have some lunch, ordered a carne asada taco and albóndigas. Having worked in Mexican food places I figured the soup was gonna take longer. But it took about 20-25 mins to get the taco and the soup. The soup was delicious! But I had to cancel the taco since it took so long. If u are in a rush do not eat there..
If you have plenty of time and like homemade tortillas head in. The workers where friendly, but sadly I never got my money back for my taco 3.50 isn't much but it does leave me with bit of a poor experience because of it. Could have been 5 stars. Again food is delicious and greatly seasoned.“

“Best tacos! The surf and turf tacos are a must!!“

“Really enjoyed this place. The fajitas came out sizzling and had that great grilled flavor from the skillet. The beef was super flavorful and the shrimp were really good too. Service was excellent — our server was very patient, explained the menu, and helped us pick what to order. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area.“

“rico café y pan caliente todos los días“

“May God bless these people always.

They gave me an extra taco.. I won't forget this.

Worship music playing added to a delightful atmosphere where I could praise and worship God while I waited for my 2 tacos.. later at home, I found out they added an extra one. How cool is that? The tacos were tops, too! I've been here about 7 times now.“

“service was friendly. Food was good.“

“Food is delicious and the servers are super friendly! Will be going back!“

“The Flavor Spectrum of Mexican Bread Bakery. 🥧🍰 🍩🥐🥖

La Gloria Bakery offers a beautiful cross-section of Mexican panadería heritage, where each bread carries a story—and a flavor—of its own. From the rich and velvety chocolate pastries to sesame-dusted croissants and colorful cookies, the selection speaks to the country’s regional diversity and deep-rooted baking traditions.

What makes Mexican bread so special isn’t just the variety, but the unique character of each type:

• Cornbread (Pan de Elote): Moist, sweet, and heartwarming—like the ones you loved that echoed the flavors of Guadalajara. It has that soft texture and subtle corn richness that makes it unforgettable.🌽🥧🍰
• Conchas: Light and fluffy inside with their iconic sugary shell patterns—a morning staple with café de olla.
• Mantecadas: Muffin-like with a buttery essence, often wrapped in red paper—like the ones in your photo. Some are infused with nuts or chocolate chips for a delightful crunch.
• Empanadas: Filled with guava, pineapple, or cajeta, they offer bursts of fruity sweetness enclosed in flaky pastry.
• Cuernitos and Orejas: French-influenced croissant styles, adapted with a Mexican twist, sometimes brushed with syrup or sugar.
• Polvorones and Galletas (Cookies) : The have different flavors and different Shortbread types and the cookies most of them have a buttery taste and are great to drink with coffee, hot chocolate or milk.I like the sprinkle-covered ones they are tasty vibrant, playful, and perfect for celebrations or for any day.

But the winner was the Corn 🌽 Bread it was sweet spongy, and moist. It had a very sweet butter milk flavor. I had this with Cafe de olla. It was a great experience.

Each tray, each bite is a window into culture, tradition, and creativity. It’s not just about sweetness—Mexican bread carries warmth, memory, and to have it sitting on a table to share with friends and family.“

“Everything in here is super BOMB 💣“

“My favorite Mexican restaurant! Everything is delicious and I love their attention to presentation. Their salsas are some of the best salsa's! Very authentic and such a small hidden gem in Oxnard! their outdoor patio is beautiful and relaxing. Good vibes all around. I go 1-2 times a week and will keep coming back.“

“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!!!“

“Good fresh food. Not spicy unless you want it spicy!! They have chilequiles which ill probably get next time. Homemade salsa, and espresso drinks too. Clean place, airy and bright. And attentive sweet waitresses. Also they play good music, and play music videos. Great vibe, will definitely be returning next time I'm in Oxnard.“

“Buen lugar relajado lo recomiendo“

“gd food first time here. visitor to cali. would come back 🙂“

“Tacos 🌮 were good I’d eat there again“

“The food here is great! They usually have tables set up, too, in case you want to eat there. The people taking my order are always nice and the people handing it out are always smiling and make sure you have everything you need before you go! I love coming here. With the $10-12 for a burrito.

Parking: They share a lot with a market, so the parking is plentiful.“

“The place we were headed for was closed. Pepe’s caught our eyes. What a nice surprise!!! We had nachos, relleno burito & tamales. All was amazing. New to the area, this will be one of our main go-tos!!!“

“Hands down best taco old school real 💯 authentic unique one of a kind Mexican food. Food trucks... Who? That's right. Born and raise Oxnard native and this taco place has been home to me for the past 33 years of my life in the city of the Nard. Stay bless mi Gente! My raza! Si se puede! Haters will hate. 😆“

“We stumbled upon this restaurant while walking and it’s by far the best Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been to! Staff was amazing and friendly, and the food was AMAZING! Highly recommend!“

“Looking forward to connecting with you“

“Food is the best!!!anything you order on the menu is good , the Menudo is the best in town hands down just had it today I was almost done and they asked me if I wanted more Menudo you can have more for Free !!
( I asked for free they said yes as long you are not sharing) where do you get seconds for free ?? Great place recommend it“

“recommend everything so delicious. favorite is Al pastor tacos and their salsa. my kids are obsessed with this spot as well.“

“i love carne a su jugo simon que si“

“Great local tacos and burritos! Desayuno (breakfast) burritos are bomb. Everything is made to order and takes a little longer which is to say that it’s always hot and fresh! The staff are super friendly and the customers are loyal. English and Spanish are spoken so don’t worry if you can’t speak Spanish. They got you! Very family friendly place too.“

“Muy rica la comida 100% recomendable Y rápido servicio Amable el ambiente Lo recomiendo“

“Just wanted to know, Are you reopening soon?“

“Let's start with hours: they do not close at 7pm. 5pm both nights I visited, it looked like 4pm on others (sorry, no picture of the sign).
On the visit I went while they were open, traditional Birria Chivo (goat stew) was requested, but they were serving Birria Borrego (lamb) and Birria Res (beef). Beef birria is a regular part of my diet, and love lamb, so naturally went with that. The lamb was tender and much less gamey than expected, well seasoned. I ordered Birria Borrego in a Quesadila with Consum'e. Filled me up, put smile on face. Next visit, will try the Chile Relleno.
2 very pleasant ladies were working. Quite nice, worked with my love of Mexican food and lack of vocabulary to provide exactly what I wanted.“

“We've been searching for a good taco truck in north Oxnard and had no luck until we tried El Maiz! Best tacos we've had in a LONG time. Food was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and prepared quickly! We tried tacos of chicken, steak, and al pastor and all three kinds were delicious with good portions and priced right!“

“I've had Carnitas all over the county. This place is one of the best!!“

“Breakfast is just like home made. From huevos rancheros to nopales con carne and hand made corn tortillas. The only negative is that they only have instant coffee which you have to get up and make yourself, which I still don't mind BUT all they have is Styrofoam cups :(. The food is however, the BEST compared to ALL other Mexican restaurants. There's usually just one waitress and the female cook/owner. That'll tell you it's just like being cooked a meal at home with great taste.“

“Highly recommend m. Very friendly responds quickly and very reliable“

“Best menudo ,chips and salsa ,tacos al pastor 😋 nice friendly waitress and quick service“

“Arco Iris Juice Bar in Oxnard is lowkey one of my favorite spots when I’m craving something sweet but still kinda refreshing. Their smoothies are actually hella good. You can taste the real fruit, not that fake syrup stuff. Everything tastes super fresh and they don’t skimp on the flavor either.

I’ve tried a few different ones and every time they hit, especially on a hot day. It’s the kind of place you go once and then keep coming back without even thinking about it. If you’re in Oxnard and want something quick, tasty, and actually satisfying, this spot is definitely worth it.“

“Love Nancy’s #2 they cook authentic Mexican food, best menudo. Hand made corn tortillas never disappoints“

“excellent meals and comfortable place“

“Came for freshly made vegetable juice and loved the drink. I ordered a vampire juice containing beet, carrot, celery, cucumber and a bit of orange juice. Flavorful, fresh tasting and healthy. The place is clean. Customer service was very friendly and our drinks were made quickly. I recommend this hidden juice bar.

Vegetarian options: Ceviche, shrimp cocktail, smoothies and juices

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Dietary restrictions: Keto and Pescatarian friendly.“

“I like their food, they have a good seasoning and the broths are very good. I frequent the place once when I went to buy chicken broth for a sick person since it is very good for recovering and I saw and tried it and their lamb consomme was very good. Delicious, actually I personally recommend them to me. Sometimes they serve me very well, other times not so much that they forget, it depends on who serves it, but it is worth going for their very good food, freshly made at the moment and reasonable prices.“

“El mole, los tamales, el atole de piloncillo y el bistec ranchero estan bien sabrosos. Espero seguir probando mas comida Oaxaqueña en este lugar.“

“Nice place very clean quick service. Has coffee to accommodate the wait. I ordered the waffle and chicken apple sausage nice size portion. The menu had a lot of options to choose from including vegetarian. Highly recommend. Prices are GREAT!“

“I recently visited Pacific Sushi Mex and had a really good experience overall.

The food was delicious — I especially loved the shrimp in red sauce (camarones à la diabla) , it had a rich flavor and tasted very well prepared. The beans on the side were also surprisingly good and had a homemade taste. I’ve also tried their sushi before and enjoyed it as well.

During my visit, someone who seemed to be part of the management or overseeing the location came by and checked in with me. He was very attentive and took the time to make sure I was having a good experience, which made a big difference.

The only thing I would mention is that the service can sometimes be inconsistent. There have been times when I felt a bit overlooked when dining alone, while other visits have been much better. I do think there is room for improvement in that area.

Overall, the food quality and the attention I received during this visit made a positive impression, and I would definitely come back.“

“we are visiting from New York and saw the food truck on our way out today so on the way back we decided to stop. we'll the food, empanada and shrimp tacos, was absolutely amazing. I would definitely recommend anybody driving by to stop. were here till Saturday so I'm hoping we can stop by again.“

“Love Restaurant Miramar love the food choices love the appetizers love the customer service has provided at this location and thank you for giving me the opportunity to be at your restaurant and thank you for providing the services provided to me my girlfriend love it a lot thank you so much Miramar“
