“What a great find! Came up in a google search for 'Veggie burger near me'. Never knew it existed. What a pleasant surprise - lots of choices on the menu for breakfast and lunch. My veggie burger was great!
Husband had breakfast tacos and said they were so good and fresh, great salsa and home made Jamaica.
Staff so sweet and friendly. Next time I will bring my dog and sit on the patio.
Really good!“

“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.“

“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. 😆“

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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“vamos unidos apoyando unos a los otros“

“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.“

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

“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“

“This isn't the prettiest place to look at from the outside, but don't be put off by it. The food here is authentic and yummy and the ladies that run the place are sweet. I had a sopa de pollo and a horchata and it was amazing. There's a decent selection of other dishes to choose from (including enmoladas) and they make their masa by hand every day. Really good.“

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

“The second I took my first bite at this taqueria, I was hit with crazy nostalgia. The flavors of the carne asada and the fresh salsa totally took me back to hanging out with my family grabbing tacos after a trip to the swamp meet. It’s like a flashback to those simple, fun days when everything felt more carefree. Honestly, it made me realize how much I missed my childhood.“

“We have enjoyed their Tacos for years!! A family favorite for sure!! Give them a try! You won’t be disappointed 👍🏻“

“The tacos and food in general here is REALLY REALLY REALLY good. The truck is super clean, and the staff are extremely friendly. Had the carne asada sope - super fresh ingredients - wife had the carne asada tacos and swears it’s the best tacos we’ve had in Oxnard/Ventura thus far! I could agree! And their salsas taste homemade. You don’t want to miss this place!“

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

“Muy feliz cumpleaños Chema, muy sabrosa la comida en especial la carne en salsa verde y el menudo ���“

“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!“

“TO BE HONEST my friends, neighbors, families come here for years since we were a kid and now my son and niece loves it here and dance. I recommend to everyone here best quality of everything fresh not reheated. Please avoid negative comments from toxic energy they don't value realistic. Toxic energy humans just want everything cheaper or Free. They are crazy ?. Happy early Christmas and new years!

Kid-friendliness: My son love their music on.“

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

“Really like this restaurant.
Good food and service.
I specially love the menudo on the the weekends. Menudo is not smelly and not too expensive.
If you ever have a chance, come to this restaurant. You won't regret it.“

“La Palapa Juice Bar was a great spot! The tortas were huge, fresh, and packed with flavorful meat, crisp lettuce, tomatoes, and just the right amount of cheese. Everything tasted fresh, and the bread was perfectly toasted. We also tried the drinks, and they were refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. The service was friendly, and the food came out quickly. If you're looking for delicious tortas and fresh aguas frescas or juices, this place is definitely worth checking out. I'll definitely be coming back!“
