“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😁“

“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!“

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

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

“Large portions, always delicious food. We took our food to go like usual but there is plenty of outdoor seating and some indoor seating as well. Taco salad was enough for 2 people easily, get dessert too because their churros and flan are delicious.“

“Big ole BRC w/Avocado Burrito $10 includes chips/salsa 👌🏾“

“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!“

“I love traditional, Mexican food. The ingredients are made so fresh. I had to have a quesadilla with slice to be otherwise known as the “quesadilla de asada”

Cheers, fresh vegetable vegetables, and grilled onions. Mix the pizza made this a wonderful breakfast.

But I really did the trick because I ordered the large orange juice thinking 12 or 16 ounces. I think I got the 24 ounces lol this thing is literally a trashcan size of orange juice and it’s delicious.

I love the open area seating in the television you’re playing de Fresh coming out. The ocean goes through the restaurant and with a wonderful food that’s been good. It is a gift every time the tide comes in and brings with it and aroma of deliciousness. .“

“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“

“Amazing place great food I highly recommend it.“

“great fish tacos... must try“

“The best food in Ventura!“

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

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

“We finally stopped in for dinner before going to live music at Namba. It was the perfect addition to the evening. My wife and I ordered the side order size of the roasted vegetables and quinoa salad. Also the Ceviche app. That was all delicious and more food than we could finish. So it was an inexpensive dinner for this area. Our server was very nice.“

“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.❤️“

“,The food was well prepared with a nice texture. But for me it just didn't have the seasoning I was looking for, and the two salsas I tried didn't help out. Very nice flavor, just no kickThe staff was very personable and efficient and seemed to keep the stylish kitchen clean.A nice food court walkup“

“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)“

“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.“

“My partner reports the tacos are delicious. I opted for a veggie burrito which was HUGE and affordable, though basic. That said, genuine value in food is hard to come by recently, so I am giving the overall experience 5 stars. The location was easy to find and the counter staff was extremely kind and efficient. It was worth a visit.“

“Best Mexican food on the planet!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“
