“I love the tortilla chips with the salsa the mariachi was really good for the atmosphere horchata was great and for the food I ordered the filet with a side of fries and a salad. Filet was cooked to perfection and the fries delicious they were crunchy and well seasoned. The waiters were really nice and deserve a raise because they were really nice and asking if we needed anything almost every 5 to 10 minutes love the service here and would recommend this to anyone and the price is very affordable. 10/10“

“We hadn't been here since before the lockdown, and I was pleasantly surprised. My salad was crunchy and fresh, my salmon was great and the sauteed onion/pepper bed was well seasoned. And of course, the marina views are very relaxing. We'd go back....“

“Had a great experience at Lure Fish House. We ordered the mahi ceviche, spaghetti with mussels in a creamy wine sauce, and the lobster ravioli — and everything was excellent.
The ceviche was fresh and perfectly balanced, the pasta with mussels was rich and flavorful without being too heavy, and the lobster ravioli was absolutely delicious. You can really tell they focus on quality ingredients and proper execution.
Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere made it a very enjoyable meal. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to.“

“If you’re a seafood taco lover, do yourself a favor and make the trip—no matter how far—to Spencer Makenzie’s Fish Company in Ventura, California. I’ve driven several hours more than once just to eat here, and every time it’s 100% worth it. The fish tacos are unreal—hands-down the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked, super fresh, and packed with flavor, with just the right amount of crunch and spice. They’re the kind of tacos that ruin you for all others. But it’s not just the food that makes this place special. You can feel the family-oriented values the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, and you can tell this is a family-run spot that takes pride in everything they do. Spencer Makenzie’s isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a destination. Whether you’re local or traveling from hours away like I do, this place is an absolute must-visit. Can’t wait for the next trip back to Ventura just for another bite!“

“Kanaloa is the best food and seafood I’ve ever had. They are consistently fresh, high-quality, and the upper-crust of seafood. Kanaloa takes pride in their food, ingredient quality, and service. Once you visit, you will always visit!
I wish I could show you a picture, however; all I have is an empty bowl at the moment because it’s that good!“

“They are closing permanently in July— so sad! Picked up some amazing steamed crabs after our boat ride. Tasted great, super fresh and juicy. They steamed and cracked them perfectly and we didn’t need any tools to eat them.
They weigh and price it in front of you at the live tank. FYI each rock crab is about 1.5-2 lbs so around $20 each, and spider crabs are over 6 lbs ($70+) each. One pound of grilled prawn is about 6-7 of them.
Note that they close the live crab tank around 4:15-4:30pm so be sure to get there early if you want crabs.
The lines can be long and steaming can be a wait. Or order took about 20 minutes.
There are restrooms in the parking lot but it’s a bit of a walk and pretty run down, so we decided to have our order to go.“

“Great views , good food! Casual place. \n\nWe wanted to eat by the water. We sat inside but there is also outside seating. \n\nHusband had Ahi sandwich and it was cooked rare, and he said it was good. It was pretty big with fries! I had shrimp and crab quesadillas, they were served with an avocado cream sauce over it and a large scoop of shredded cabbage. Delicious! (2 could split it) \n\nFull bar available too! Place your order and you get a beeper, head over to the bar and order your drinks, pay separate from food. \nGet your parking ticket stamped for free parking.“

“My favorite spot in oxnard!! We make a point to try new things on the menu often because everything is so good!! Full of flavor and super fresh ingredients. The tacos are by far my favorite but the fresh made empenadas are a close second!! Everything's made fresh to order so it's hot and delicious! The owner is also super nice. Great spot.“

“I like sitting in one of the two outdoor patios, that are dog friendly, with a view of the channels and all the boats. Often see a sea creature or two swimming by, just so pleasant.
Order your food inside and it's delivered to your table. Always great food and served with a smile.
Food is always fantastic. All the staff is friendly and helpful, it's like it's not there job but they actually enjoy being there.“

“To be honest their michelada was watered down

Their menu is more of fried or cooked seafood
I recommend it to people that love cooked seafood I’m more of a raw seafood lol 😅
Like I said try their shrimp tacos 🌮 chug it with a regular beer 🤣“

“WOW WOW WOW!!! 🤯🦐
It’s insane how good this place is! Honestly, I wasn’t expecting it to be this good based on the outside appearance, but it did not disappoint one bit. We did arrive a little late, so we weren’t able to dine in but based on looks it’s a really quiet place where I’d be a nice date place.,
the guy working there was so nice and encouraged us to order to go — which we gladly did.
We ordered a little bit of everything: shrimp, clams, crab legs, and all the sides. The only thing they didn’t have was eggs, which is a little sad because a seafood boil with eggs is just top tier. But let me tell you… the flavor made up for it completely.
Everything was so rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The whole time we were eating we just kept saying how good it was and how much flavor everything had. It was a total hit! 🙌
We got so much food and the price honestly wasn’t bad at all. I can truly say this is wayyyyy better than Boiling Crab, no doubt.
I already can’t wait to come back this weekend for round two — and this time I definitely want to eat inside to get the full experience. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone who loves a good seafood boil! 🔥“

“Moved to Vegas 25 years ago. Miss 3 things about Oxnard - Family, the beach and Otani’s. Been fortunate to eat in some of the best restaurants in the U.S. I would choose Otani’s Fried Teriyaki Snapper with double rice over any other meal that’s out there. Otani’s was a staple for me growing up and had the fortune of knowing the family. Crave it constantly and go there every day whenever I make it back to town.“
“This is obviously one of the coolest place to eat in the region. Anytime I come to this place I am deeply happy. They maintain their high level service and the topmost level of cooking they provide. You always win with this restaurant. Very recommended.“

“My favorite fish taco in all of Ventura and Los Angeles County! There are a lot of other great menu options but I can’t help but order the world famous fish taco every time. They make their own salsas and special sauce, the tacos are large and a great value. They have half price tacos Monday-Thursday from 3-5pm and a happy hour Monday-Friday 3-6pm. The servers are attentive and so awesome, the restaurant is clean and it’s a great atmosphere. The patio is great and there are heaters for the cooler weather as well as a large table with the ability to have a fire.“

“The family and I tried Masala Twist in Oxnard today and it's probably the best Indian food in Ventura County. The food was quick and the people were friendly. Its hard to get the kids to try new things, but they definitely enjoyed the saffron rice and butter chicken.“

“I went to Andria’s to get Halibut, Cod and Clam chowder but was very curious about getting fresh seafood to cook at home. Miguel who works in that department was polite, knowledgeable and made me a lifelong customer. He was exceptional in explaining everything so that i could make my food at home taste like the restaurant. He cut the fish for me, then i got the batter, tartar sauce, cocktail sauce and condiments to take home. The process was so easy. Miguel is definitely a shining light for the company. I am on my way to get more fish to cook at home because i learned that i will get double the amount if i fry it myself. Now i will be having fish fry’s at my home at the once a month. Thank you Miguel for being a shining light.“

“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 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!“

“:
Oak Street in downtown Ventura has quietly become one of the coolest little pockets to explore. Step off Main Street and you’ll find a street that’s had real energy breathed into it — trees wrapped in lights, a lively atmosphere, and a collection of businesses that make the block worth lingering on.
You’ve got VCBC Brewing pouring some of the best beer in town. Across the street is Jaguar Moon, the agave and mezcal-focused cocktail bar with its beautiful patio, paired with Corazon Cocina by Michelin-starred chef Ramon Velazquez. Nearby sits NAMBA Arts Center with its incredible programming — everything from children’s dance classes and concerts to stand-up comedy and live performances.
One of my favorite newer additions is the public community library built into the façade of the Great Eastern storefront — take a book, leave a book, completely free to the Ventura community.
But what has really evolved is Model Citizen.
We’ve eaten there for years, but our most recent dinner may have been one of the best meals we’ve had in Ventura.
There’s clearly a new level happening in the kitchen. A chef who came in from Los Angeles a few months back has elevated the menu in a big way. The standout? A Harry’s Berries dessert on a house-made pastry that was absolutely memorable.
Dinner started with house-made focaccia with aged balsamic and EVOO, marinated olives layered with fennel and citrus, and a shaved cabbage and fennel Caesar with fried capers and parmesan that was fresh, bright, and unexpectedly addictive.
The rigatoni alla vodka with ’nduja sausage and burrata was rich and balanced, and the prime hanger steak frites with au poivre sauce and gremolata was spot on.
The room feels alive — great bar energy, warm ambience, and surprisingly approachable pricing for the quality coming out of the kitchen. My wife enjoyed a couple glasses of Chardonnay, I had my NA beer, and we left talking about when we were coming back.
Ventura has some excellent dining. Model Citizen just reminded us why it belongs firmly in that conversation.“

The chips have the PERFECT amount of hint of lime to them and the salsa is spectacularly perfect.
