Although everything I’ve ordered here has been excellent, my very favorites are the Avocado Bomb (the best I’ve ever had) and the Sushi House Roll. The staff are always very welcoming, friendly, and attentive.“

“Best Pozole of my life! 🤌🏻“

Don't let the modest, old-town setting keep you from a worthwhile meal experience.“

“The best place ! I recommend ❤️🍺“

“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....“

“found this truck open late after a concert and it was still super busy at 11 pm .... lots of locals so I knew it would be good...it was actually GREAT, the tacos at this truck were quite possibly the best I've ever had in my life!!! yummy salsa too , fresh churros and really friendly staff. If I'm lucky enough to visit Ventura again I'll definitely go back to this place!!! thank you !!!! 10/10“

“These tacos are simply the best!! I've been their customer since 2018 and am looking forward to many more years.“

“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😁“

“We Recommend Everything!“

“The busy bee café is a place to go eat you could eat indoor or outdoor. They wait on you as soon as you get in they are so nice it’s clean services top-of-the-line, and the food is more than top-of-the-line. Great food come in and get it I live in Santa Barbara and I go to eat there each time, I’m there in Ventura.“

“Great spot to meet up with friends. Food trucks there most nights, different ones, so you can grab a bite. Great bartenders, always friendly, indoor and outdoor seating - no reason to let any rain slow you down. And, very important, you gotta try the pickle beer! Its only available one day each week. You'll have to go in and ask when that is...“

“Great spot for tasty, healthy, authentic tai food! I’ve been coming here for years, this spot and the one by Winco (AM) have always delivered the best food and service! Cannot recommend these restaurants enough but this one is half a block from the beach and cozy so a perfect date night spot with a beach walk to burn of the night’s calories. I first came here interested in trying tai curry and boy have they made me a big fan, now it’s a staple in my diet, the sirloin steak green curry is amazing, you can cut the steak with a fork, I’ve tried all the curry’s and still have some dishes to try because they have such a large menu with so many great choices. Expect friendly service and food to come out quickly!“

“It was our first time. Me and my husband ordered Salmon roll, Eel Roll, Scallop Roll and miso soup. It was the freshest salmon eel and scallop we have ever had! The rolls are 4 pcs but they are HUGE and packed with seafood so it was worth it! The miso is the best miso we’ve ever had as well!“

“Little neighborhood mexican restaurant with friendly atmosphere. Ordered the Carne Asada Nachos and they were Awesome!! More than enough for two to share and every chip was like a little mini-taco. Best nachos I've had in a very long time. Not the easiest place to find, but definitely worth the trek.“

“Outside dining here only, unless your in a trailer at the rv park. Throughly enjoyed pizza one day for dinner and a few days later a burger for lunch while we were camped here. Great spot for beach eats.

“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!!!“

“The best quality in all Ventura no doubt. Delicious and great service!“

“Pizza Chief is truly a Ventura gem! The people who work there are always warm and super friendly. But the pizza… wow. It’s seriously some of the best I’ve ever had. The crust is perfect every time, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and they nail the balance of sauce, cheese, and toppings. Every bite is delicious! All their other food is amazing. The dressings are so flavorful, their sandwiches are great, and the lasagna is delicious! But honestly, the pizza is the star of the show!! You can’t go wrong with anything there. Oh and they also have great beer!! My entire family loves it there! Highly, highly recommended!“

“Great seeing Lek today. After many years the food is still fantastic, especially the teriyaki chicken Friday special lunch! My wife loved the club sandwich.“
