Restaurants in Ventura

“Location and Ambiance:Nestled in a great location with a vibrant atmosphere, Rumfish sets the stage for an enjoyable dining experience. The allure of its bar area and lively outdoor seating creates an inviting environment that adds to the overall appeal.Beverages:The beverage selection at Rumfish is commendable. Their cocktails are well crafted and offer an array of flavors and styles. The variety of beers on tap and the well-curated wine selection cater to diverse preferences, although I've yet to explore the latter. My first experience I enjoyed a mezcal cocktail, but this time I had a bottled Mexican lagger.Food Experience:My initial visit to Rumfish was prompted by a friend's glowing recommendation, but it left me with mixed feelings. While the menu promised an exceptional culinary experience, the reality fell short of expectations. The tacos, though decent, lacked the wow factor I had hoped for, leaving me underwhelmed. The flavors were decent, if mild, but what I noticed was a lack of dimensionality. The tortillas are house made and they were delicious, but the overall combination was flat.On my recent return, I ordered the guacamole and Creole Seabass. The guacamole, while enjoyable, didn't quite reach the level of greatness. It was good, but a bit watery and lime-forward, but again lacked dimension. However, the homemade totopos were really good.The Creole Seabass, unfortunately, failed to impress. Expecting a grilled fish bursting with flavor, I was met with a fried skin-on seabass covered with coconut sauce. The fish itself was as bland and tasteless as cod. While the coconut sauce added some dimension, the overall taste fell flat, exacerbated by the underwhelming spice level (about a 2 out of 10). It could just as easily have been called Thai Coconut Seabass. The waiter clarified that by Creole they mean Belize-style Creole which is translated as mild and coconuty, not the North American Creole which means bursting with flavor. He said he was also surprised. Meanwhile, I was just coming to the realization that Rumfish is Belize food. Now I feel stupid. Not sure how I missed that?Price Point:Given the Seabass's hefty price tag, exceeding $30, my expectations were naturally elevated. However, the disparity between cost and culinary experience left me questioning the value. While a $15 entre might warrant less scrutiny, the premium price demands, in my mind, a more exceptional dining experience.Final Thoughts:Despite my reservations, I remain optimistic about Rumfish. While my encounters have yet to align with the restaurant's stellar reputation, I am open to further exploration. I am hopeful that Rumfish will eventually deliver the culinary excellence that has resulted in so many glowing reviews.”

“We arrived in the eveningtired after a whole day's travel. We received very good help and service - all portions are larger than usual and therefore easy to share. Nice clean and nice place. Can only get our warmest recommendations?????”

“Popped by on our way to the wild flowers. Tatiana is lovely, coffees were great, and I found a piece of art by a local artist (and customer) to bring home with me. Empanadas were delicious, too! This will be on our list of stops any time we are down this way! Thanks, Tatiana!”

“Come with me to Italy… by way of Ventura, CA!I was looking for a brunch spot in downtown Ventura and Immigrant Son Caffe had rave reviews (so much it was voted the 5th best brunch spot in the United States!). They’re known for their breakfast lasagna, brunch cocktails, and rotating seasonal menu. I opted for the Italian Chopped Salad, Deviled Eggs, and Traditional Breakfast which was really good! One of the things I loved about this place is their portions. They were perfect (not too small or big) and there wasn’t room for any leftovers. The vibe check passed with flying colors and I loved all the old school decor from Italy. Our waiter was extremely nice and attentive (go Keegan!).SAVE this restaurant for the next time you’re driving up the coast and looking for a great spot to stop and enjoy some good food!”

“When I went it was during a very busy time and there was only two people running the shop. But I have to say the food hair was pretty terrific. If you're looking for a reasonably priced flavor packed meal, I would stop here. I don't think you could really go wrong with any of the meals here to be honest. Chutney was flavorful, the Masala Dolsa was crispy but with some fluff and packed with onions (which was a lovely surprise) and it honestly made me regret not ordering two plates.”

“This was my first time trying Nepalese Cuisine and I LOVED it! I ordered the Dal Bhat Tarkari (Chicken). Everything tasted amazing and was full of flavor. I also ordered a Masala Chai that was delicious. The staff was friendly and courteous. I will definitely be going back again.”

“Best milk stout I’ve ever had! We ordered lots of food (sausage/cheese dough balls, pepperoni pizza, Caesar salad, fries, snack plate) and it was all delicious! I also really liked the kombucha!”

“Went for 3 pm meal Sunday, and it was delicious, beautiful presentations with flowers on the spring roll and tasty. I took Tom K soup home, and they have a great to-go packaging. I was impressed by the friendly services as well.”

“Pete's Breakfast House is a classic breakfast and lunch restaurant. It offers delicious, fresh food made with high-quality ingredients. There is a wide variety of food on the menu, including American breakfast and Mexican food. Sandwiches and pancakes are also available. We came to this restaurant by recommendation from my husband's parents. We noticed that our favorite TV food show Guy Fieri's photo was hanging on the wall. I liked the pancake roll the best and I highly recommend it.”

“One of the best vegan spots to exist ever. The green, blue, white V for international vegan pride flag greets you as you walk in. Plenty of beautiful mosaic tiled seating inside and also outside with a grassy area for the kids and pups. Appreciate the photos of top dishes, all 100% vegan, and with some gluten free options such as corn tortillas. We love love loved the homey deliciousness of our huevos ranchers of Mexican rice, beans, and corn tortilla with vegan eggs and salsa along with our soyrizo breakfast burrito with potatoes, salsa, vegan cheese. Above all, we were happy for the quality and caring customer service from Luis and Lalo who greeted and assisted us with kindness and care. Many thanks to all who run this amazing beacon for vegan food in Ventura County and all of SoCal. Can also take our tasty made with love vegan food to go to enjoy at the beach next time. Will return again and again and share this wonderful place with all.”

“Walked in because I could smell this place all the way down the street. Ended up having the some of best Indian food of my entire life. I will most definitely be back.”

“Lots of options for different meats. I love trying different ones. It's not a big place but I've always found seating. Very clean. They should be getting a liquor license soon.”

“I will literally drive thirty minutes for the juggernaut smoothie. 10/10 fantastic, all around. Really nice people, great vibe, and just such good juices and drinks. They also have a rewards system I just learned about! Please come to Santa Barbara too!”

“We started our honeymoon off by having breakfast here, and we were so glad we found this place, because everything all the way down to the preserves was made homemade. Nothing compares to homemade.”

“While I was doing Uber, I found myself in Ventura around lunchtime and stumbled upon a restaurant that served calamari, so I just had to stop! I was warmly greeted by a friendly waitress named Blanca, who recommended some delicious items from the menu. Unfortunately, I only had time to grab my calamari to go. But after devouring it, I can't wait to come back! Oh, and let's not forget about the amazing bread and butter - absolutely delightful. Yes sir, you'll definitely see me again!”

“Absolutely wonderful. Everything was fresh and delicious. Nothing was too sweet.The lovely lady at the counter happily walked me through the day’s selection. She said it changed every day. Everything looked incredible, it was hard to choose. We ended up with a raspberry and chocolate twist, a pineapple strudel, a croissant breakfast sandwich, a mocha and a cold brew.The twist and the strudel were perfectly fruity, flaky and soft. The sandwich was freshly made with ham, eggs and cheese. The pistachio croissant was heavenly. Perfectly crusty and flaky, a light pistachio pastry cream in the center, covered in crushed pistachios and sugar, without being overly sweet.Cannot wait to come back and try more.”

“Truly one of a kind restaurant. This place is an experience, and you're lucky if you get to eat here. The food is amazing. Bread and charcuterie is outstanding, the pasta blows my mind. Great wine selection. Extremely attentive service. Hard not to love everything about this place.”

“I could eat here everyday. Every sandwich so far has been delicious. My whole family loves it too. They're so fast with the orders, and the workers are nice. It's a total hole in the wall kind of place, small but perfect.”

“Loaded pancakes. Epic omelettes. Delicious mimosas. What more could you want? Oh, and the biscuits are killer too!! A little pricey, but Possibly the best brunch spot in all of a Ventura. GO NOW!”

“I loved this place from the moment I walked in. The staff was very kind and polite. The atmosphere was nice and quiet. I definitely recommend this place to study, meet with a friend or just to get some delicious coffee. I just wish they stayed open until 6 or 7pm.”

“Hands down, best fish tacos my wife and I ever had. Huge tacos LOADED with fish. I get the battered and my wife gets the grilled and both are amazing. Locally owned, the delightful owners truly care about putting a quality product in front of you. Gorgeous presentation and oh-so- flavorful! And the beans and rice, not your typical refrieds, but a delicious white bean and jasmine rice, incredible! They even make their own blue corn tortillas. Nothing else in Ventura can match these fish tacos. You must give them a try!”

“We were off to a slow start-was the chef on break? But with an appetizer on the house, nice service, and a desire to eat Saag Paneer I waited. The Saag Paneer was full of flavor albeit I wish I had gotten it spicy not Medium. The Chicken vindaloo was good but not inspiring. The garlic naan good but it's usually fool proof. The complimentary rice pudding was light and the cardamom apparent. Good service except for food taking a while.”

“I love this place. Thai tea with coconut milk, noodle soup ,Thai fried rice, tofu soup, and mango sticky rice. These are my favorites. The staff is nice. And if Rice by Mama is crowded go to Rice by Mama #2 that is not to far away”

“Mike was very awsome from when we walked in to when we finished eating very healthy food such a refreshing gourmet of different selections the wait time was fast as well this place is a very great place I’m very happy that me and my wife found this place we will be back again thank you you so much MikeVegetarian options: Plenty of different selection including kabob and shawormaDietary restrictions: Great health foods deliciousWheelchair accessibility: Easy access for all people and handicap people”

“Great option of sitting up on their deck. Double check hours it’s open before you go. W tippers next door you can’t beat the great local vibe to hang out and enjoy the drink and food.”

“This place never disappoints and is a great spot next to the beach. Staff is always super friendly and welcoming. I've never been upset with the food I get here.”

“☕️?Peirano's has the BEST Espresso Martini in town! Strong, smooth & better than dessert, IMO.Lovely heated patio for large parties or for two. Fresh food, homemade vibe, and restaurant quality. Drinks were amazing all around. It gets packed here even on a Thursday night, so you know it's good!!! No pictures because I was having too much fun!”

“I'm a blogger and I usually post everything to instagram. So patiently waiting out downtown Ventura has become my specialty lol Finally a calmer day here at the Trust. We only got a drink then we needed to be on our way. I see why this place is so popular! Is spacious yet small. Feels very classy inside. You almost forget where you are while inside which is awesome. Definitely need to come back to try out the food and hopefully more rum cocktails make the menu”

“Brewery sits on a pier and looks out at the ocean. There is a beach playground just below if you have kids that you can let them run around at. Food is served on level 1 and beer on level 2. Beer that we sampled was okay. It was nice to drink out on their patio with a view of the Pacific Ocean.”

“Huge pizzas with tons of toppings worth the $30 price point. Great drink options as well. Amazing garlic fries with huge portions. Great for groups and a good starting point for cruising mainstreet. The decor inside is vibrant and outside has great seating options.Kid-friendliness: Tons of space and allows minors.Wheelchair accessibility: Great seating easy for wheelchair users.”

“Absolutely delicious ?I'm a huge connoisseur of Acai and this place met all of my taste and quality standards. The cold press juice is not only healthy but insanely delicious as well. Highly recommend.”

“Rocks and Drams in downtown Ventura exceeded all expectations! Located on California Street, just south of Main Street, this hidden gem stands out with its bright exterior and inviting signage. Once inside, you're greeted with a sophisticated and elegant lounge atmosphere, complete with small tables, cozy couch seating, and a stylish bar.The upscale speakeasy vibe is enhanced by the dark, muted colors, luxurious fabrics, and eccentric artwork adorning the walls. While the music was a bit too loud for the ambiance, it didn't detract from the overall experience.The cocktails at Rocks and Drams are truly a work of art. Each drink is meticulously crafted with spot-on ingredients, offering a variety of options to suit every taste. The staff, including the friendly and knowledgeable bartender who assisted us, were exceptionally helpful and polite.What's more, the prices for the drinks are incredibly reasonable considering the upscale atmosphere of the lounge. I can't wait to return to Rocks and Drams for another unforgettable evening of delicious drinks and elegant ambiance. Five stars all the way!”

“Dry sautéed eggplant Pork xiao long bao Chong Qing special chicken Wonton in spicy sauce Service can get a little tight as they get busier. A certain waiter can do with better customer service but after that, he serviced our table fine. This is not your average Chinese spot, so come in with a hearty appetite. Food here is one of a kind in Ventura County, that's for sure! Loved their dry sautéed eggplant and chong Qing spicy chicken. Note that they close from 3pm-4:30pm”

“If you ever want to have an excellent meal that will leave you feeling satisfied, this is the place. Each of their course selection leaves you wanting to come back to try the next one. You cannot make a bad choice. They bring you each course separately, it allows you to cleanse your palette and prepare for the next sensuous parade of flavors each complementing the other. The prime steaks are cooked to perfection. The flavor is a delicious grilled beefy flavor that makes your mouth smile with delight and your throat release a quiet...mmmmmm.... The staff is both friendly and professional. The complete the ambience of this gem. Sunday brunch will give your weekend the perfect outing. Both the indoor and outdoor dining provide a great experience. This is a great date night place to go before seeing a movie down the street.”

“Looking for tacos and spotted this place. I could see it was delicious and Grandma so I was sold.2 homemade tortillas chicken tacos were really good. There was plenty of juicy chicken, onions, cilantro. The fresh tortillas were sooo good! Served with a few tortilla chips, jalapeño, spicy red salad (awesome) and green salsa (not for me)There were 6 or so picnic tables, I parked on the street. Service was quick, employee was friendly.I was there on a cool breezy afternoon around 3pm it was dead. I would go back for sure. Maybe for a breakfast burrito in the morning.Parking: I parked on the street.”

“Great place, good people/owners… definitley feeling“Authentic Mexican Cantina”…. Vibes… YummyWaaay to go #LetsGooOH Hernandez “Familia” - #ComidaComida!!!!”

“Solid place for a variety of Chinese food flavors and dishes; came here twice in a week, preferred their EZ takeout ordering online, then pick up to eat at home. Good quality and wide menu for meats, seafood, veggies, noodle and rice dishes, appetizers plus dim sum (on wkends). Casual ambience, friendly service (efficient but slower) and moderate pricing. Overall 3.5+ rating for good eats. Expect to pay $13-15pp for lunch specials, or $15-25pp for dinner. Indoor dining has 15-20 booths/tables, so if busy mealtime hours, there may be a wait. Today we tried a few Dim Sum dishes to start - our fave was the steamed pork soup dumplings, tasty! Also a big fan of their Mu Shu Pork ... meat, veggies and egg stir-fried then wrapped in warm pancake wrapper served with Hoisin sauce - delicious! Can't find this dish very often, so i enjoyed it both times ordering food here. Plenty to choose from on the menu, and they also have luncheon specials that come with soup/salad/app during afternoon hours. Decent spot if you're craving some Chinese food, and not looking for a fast food restaurant. Enjoy!!”

“Hands down the best steak i ever had . the seasoning on it was just everything thing . it was so good that i had to come back & try it again & i must say they didn't disappoint !! i like this place so much that it has now become me & my fiancé favorite restaurant ! i can't wait to go back !!”

“My gf and I both really liked our meals here. I had the pho with brisket and she ordered a noodle dish. We came near closing time and they were out of a few items we tried to order so the nice waiter gave us a discount, which we appreciated. Good food and good customer service.”

“Came in for happy hour and all I can say is wow! The service was absolutely incredible- we had Jeff and he was such a delight! He was attentive to our needs, knowledgable of the menu and just such a joy to speak with! He knows how to add a personal touch to the experience! 10/10 would recommend!”

“Ahi poke appetizers was delicious. Dinner was so tasty. The manager was so pleasant, he sat and talked to us told us what was happening and going on at the Barrelhousr 101.”

“We had a great dinner at Prime for my birthday. We love the food & service. The only issue we had is we were charged $6 for club soda! I honestly feel this is way too much to charge a customer. We also sat at the table in front of the fireplace, it was raining & windy out, but the exit area in the patio where we were seated was the only area not covered from the cooler weather & the heater was broken. Luckily the fireplace kept a few of us warm but everyone else was cold. We would've moved but we were a party of 6 & had already ordered drinks and apps. & didn't want to get up and move.”

“Simply the best! New to pierpont & we've eating here many, many times. Some of the best Thai I've ever had plus the staff is so sweet and accommodating. You can tell they put love into their food and business.”

“I have always gotten my pad Thai here, it is so delicious and they never disappoint. I haven’t found any where with as good as pad Thai as this restaurant has. Highly recommend”

“This place right here has thee best corn burritos amd the sauce that they put on them is to die for!!! Can literally drink it, the guy who I think is the owner understands my addiction and gives me extra sauce!! God I love him for that!! Anywhoo best food!! Best prices, best taste......I can go on forever!! But yall are going to have to see for yourselves lol love this place yummm”

“Great early morning breakfast. Our server, Joselyn E. did a great job for us. She was “swamped” with tables and maintained her composure, efficiently, and friendliness..”

“The sandwich artist made my sandwich to perfection and just how I wanted it! Their cookies were made just right! Pretty clean inside for the most part but wish there was some kind of music playing. Very satisfied with the overall service. Keep up the great ”

“my son and i go here after school often. He's on the spectrum and as soon as he walks in the staff know his order and are so kind and understanding with his behaviors. ❤️”

“Just oreder a Western bacon cheese burger ? ? ? ?My grandfather knew Carl Karcher and my family used to eat at the original CARL'S in Anaheim, every location besides that one is a JR. There's a Lil fun fact for you ? ?”

“It's fast food that should sum it upPluses r breakfast to 24 hours I believe they're open 24 hours. They do take EBT which helps if you're harder for money. They're one of the better convenience places.”

“Guys , for fast food mexican food this is the place to be .. they also have value menu. So ther is something for everyone..good food for your soul...God bless you all”

“THE VERY NICE LADY [ WITH REALLY CUTE PURPLE HAIR ] WAS WONDERFUL. FOOD WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. ORDERED THROUGH THE APP. GREAT EXPERIENCE!! THANK YOU SO MUCH ?”

“It seems as though going through the drive thru is no longer an option at any fast food establishment. Your order will undoubtedly be wrong and cold. Dining in isn't a good experience, but it's the only way to ensure some degree of food quality. Shameful ”

“Best McDonalds in Ventura County. All other McDonalds are inferior to this location.Vegetarian options: Just eat meat guys come on what’s wrong with youParking: Big shopping center parking lotKid-friendliness: They allow kids in this location”

“Decided to try something new and very happy we found this place! Very clean and nice area for people to enjoy and hangout. We got the California poppy and dawn patrol, both very good smoothies and super tasty. 10-11 dollars for a smoothie is pretty steep but with all the ingredients in them and from a business perspective the price makes sense. Will definitely come again, the staff was also very nice and knowledgeable about the products they are selling. Two thumbs up”

“Hands down the best ice cream shop ever. The best part about this shop is when I see the truck on the road amd I flag it down they will pull over anywhere just for me to get my ice cream fix. Thank you mister softee”

“My folks (96 and 93 years old) love having their Dos Topas lagers, listening to live music, hanging around good people and native California plants. Here they are celebrating 70 years of marriage.”

“Great vibe set in vintage Ventura architecture featuring a great selection of Belgians and IPAs served up by a genuinely friendly staff. They bring in some amazing music artists like Shaky Feelin’ making your visit a lifetime memory. The Sea Minor coconut hazy IPA became my new favorite today.”

“What a great find! Better than any coffee shop I've been to in a long time! House-made gelato and baked goods (including a wonderful selection of unique gluten-free items!), organic coffees and teas, interesting and unusually flavored coffee and tea beverages...all in a gorgeous location on the Ventura Harbor! Highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: Great gluten-free and vegan options!”

“We had chicken mole enchiladas which were fantastic! The carne asada street tacos were also excellent as was the pozole and horchata. We’ll definitely be going back!”

“The staff was friendly. I had the brownie batter cookie that tasted like a brownie with milk on the side. It was delicious! I would definitely order it again if it comes back on the menu.”

“The chili cheeseburger is amazing - in fact, I've now ordered it on two different occasions because I enjoyed it so much. My husband got one of the hot dogs but after trying my burger, he ended up ordering a chili cheeseburger, too, the second time we visited. The beer was good, the servers are friendly and attentive, and we'll likely be back soon. I don't know where else I'd get a phenomenal brisket like this.”

“Spur of the moment lunch after hiking the Ventura Botanical gardens, great choice! We split the Cobb salad then she had the lamb burger and I had the turkey&pesto sandwich! Wonderful food and very good service for a busy Friday afternoon. Delicious flavors will have us coming back again!”

“I recently visited The Cave Restaurant and Ventura Wine Company. I hadn’t been there in years and was thinking it would only be appetizers or small plates. It was a pleasant surprise to enjoy such a quality meal and delicious wine and bubbly selection. We were in the back room a bit away from the bustle of the main area, where we could have a conversation. My friend and I shared their Prix Fixe Weekday Meal which consisted of an appetizer and dessert to share along with an entree for each. We decided to add a bottle of French bubbly. We started off with the cranberry cave salad which was so fresh and crisp. It was served on one long plate that we had to portion out ourselves. I would suggest plating it up separately for convenience to the guests. For dinner my friend had the Eggplant Parmesan and I had the Ahi Tuna. It was the best tuna I’ve ever eaten. The pieces were firm and flaky with just the right amount of crust for flavor. The eggplant was served over spaghetti and was a cheesy crisp and delight. Both dishes were mouth watering goodness! We chose a lighter dessert of fresh berries with Italian Zabaione. The perfect blend of flavors to end an amazing meal. Do not miss this gem!”

“So, I swung by B & J Drive-In for a quick lunch, and let me tell you, it was quite the experience! Picture this: a charming little diner with a classic drive-up setup. You order at the window, grab your number, and voila, food's on its way.First impressions? Clean as a whistle. Not a speck of trash in sight, and the staff? Super friendly and helpful. They even helped me navigate their menu with ease.Now, onto the grub. Oh boy, where do I start? They've got everything from juicy cheeseburgers to mouthwatering hot wings. I opted for the Asada burrito, and let me warn you, it's massive! Flavor-packed and oh-so-satisfying. My brother went for the corn burritos, and he couldn't stop raving about them. Fresh and homemade vibes all the way.But wait, there's more! My nephew tackled their colossal cheeseburger like a champ. Two patties, onion rings, cheese, bacon...you name it, it's on there. And trust me, it's as ginormous as it sounds.All in all, B & J Drive-In gets a big thumbs up from me. Quick service, delicious food, and that cozy diner vibe make it a winner in my book.”

“Perfect place for sweets !! Counter person recommended a few things for my co workers very kind . Everything is cute and clean . We will be back during the holidays for there decorative chocolates”

“I have since relocated from the 805 and really miss the food. I would drive back for it if time permitted. Al pastor is awesome, but ironically their chicken recipe is what I can't forget---chicken burrito, chicken tacos, chicken quesadilla, chicken anything. Very tasty spicy salsa, they don't call themselves Diablo for nothing! And get those fryer fresh chips, quesabirria, chicken burrito, a carnitas torta, and some fish tacos!”

“One of a kind of place…. Just live the spiritual, ecological, sustainability environment. Just live it!!!You have to experience the energy around. The guys are just zing.”

“A walk from the beach, the view is amazing, the place can hold a lot of people and the staff is great.There were a lot of Choice of Beer and we had the chance to taste different kind.I would recommand to go there at Sunset.”

“Best place for a cold beer in all of downtown.Topa Topa has it all. Great brews, great people and great atmosphere.Come for one or come for a few. It’s always a good time here. If you know, you know.”

“Good food as usual but the hamburger patties are alot thinner, so get a double double!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair friendly for dining inside or outside.”

“Hey... what can I say? We no longer have an Arby's where I live, so I stop when traveling through Ventura and bring home enough regulars and sliders for several Arby's fanatics in my family. We love 'em!”

“The country breakfast is a good choice for a quick breakfast bit on the goParking: There is plenty of free parking if u chosen to dine inKid-friendliness: Owner is super nice always offers kid size ice creamAnytime i dine in with the kids”

“My husband and I used to frequent Presto Pasta when we lived in the area. The service was always kind and helpful, and the food brought back nostalgic memories while also being delicious. I still enjoy Presto Pasta to this day!”

“I'm a newcomer to Tommy's but my husband grew up with the yummy chili dogs and chili cheeseburgers. I'm going through chemo and food hasn't always tasted good. But lucky for me I can eat and now crave Chili Cheeseburgers. Thank you! The crew working at 8:45pm on 3/1/24 was so friendly and helpful with our order. We ate inside and it was comfortable and clean. We'll be back!”

“As far as "fast" food goes, this is my preferred spot, but the cost is getting ridiculous. Well beyond the price I'm willing to pay anymore. I can go to a sit down get served at a table restaurant for not much more.”

“We attended a Greek festival near my old high school and had the food there this past august. Since then we've been looking for a place with a good gyro and this place hit the spot! It was so good and exactly what we were looking for. We've tried other places and this one comes closest to the one we had prior. It is so good and I didn't mind the tzatziki sauce at all. We enjoyed everything! Not to mention, the cashier was very patient with us. We came in about an hour before closing and she was very patient with us. We still tried to get in and out quick but she didn't seem to mind. Love this place, just wish there was one closer to us!”

“Great service, went in there with a friend and had a great experience. The staff was extremely friendly super nice I didn't get their names but I was there in 11/10/23 at 9:40 pm, it was a women and a young man! I don't experience this with many fast food spots but this one was great! The food was ready super quick, nice and hot! Overall the staff made it a 10/10 will be coming back!”

“Just had a tasty family meal with standard Mexican entrees.Kid-friendliness: Lots of seating area for families.Parking: Parking can be tight if you want to be close to the door.Wheelchair accessibility: Standard ramps where needed”

“This location is always too busy. Had a mobile order and it wasn't made until I asked if they received it. That came after waiting 15 minutes and watching several people get thier orders after asking about them.”

“Jimmy John's is a reliable counter-serve chain for sub and club sandwiches, complemented by their signature potato chips. The customer service can be a bit hit or miss, varying between quick and efficient to occasionally slower service. Regardless, the sandwiches consistently deliver in taste, and the standout feature is undoubtedly the best-in-class bread.With reasonable prices, Jimmy John's offers a pleasant surprise with a nice seating area outside. The outdoor space, bathed in sunlight, adds to the overall dining experience. Despite occasional variations in service, it remains a go-to spot for quality sandwiches with that perfect bread touch.”

“Dining at Chick-fil-A is always a pleasure. The food is reliably tasty. The service is prime - it's rare to feel truly appreciated as a customer, but they excel in that here.”

“The apple pecan salad is the best in the city. Pomegranate Vinaigrette dressing is fabulous. Great music and excellent service in the dining, bring your dancing shoes.”

“We are from Arizona as most know I seem to think the food is better here than there definitely the Pepsi taste a lot better than home ...Can never go wrong with Taco Bell”

“We stopped by at 9:30 on a Tuesday. We got al pastor and Asada. The pastor was the best, super tender and flavorful. The guys were very nice and friendly. Definitely recommend theyre there every night 6-12am”

“Came here to pick up pastries for a work meeting. Read reviews on Yelp and decided to try it. The employees were very friendly and helped me pick out some of the favorites. The place has great outdoor seating and also indoor. One of the fav cookies was the Spotted Cow. I got a few of those and some Easter egg cookies. Everyone loved them. I also snagged me a blueberry scone. It was soft and flaky but it lacked the flavor I was expecting. There were many other pastries to choose from. They also serve food. They had some great looking sandwiches that I would love to go back and try.”

“this is always a go too for me. I live close and its a great truck! lingua on point, pastor on point, cabeza on point, at least that's just my regular taco order lol also great horchata and churros if your in the mood for something sweet! anyway the menu is simple and straight forward which in my opinion usually means they know what they excel in and don't vier to far from it.”

“Give me all of the burritos please.Convenient stop between Ventura and Ojai if you’re looking for a quick bite to each before or after hitting the trails. Or even on your way to the beach.Dietary restrictions: Beans don’t have lard”

“Happy to have found a nice little hole in the wall taco spot in Ventura. Located in a strip mall it was easy to spot this place. There was tons of parking and I came for a late lunch so the center itself wasn't super busy. Taco Mendoza has a good amount of tables and you order up at the counter. The menu is placed on the counter so there really isn't a menu hanging that you can view if there is a line. Staff were friendly and quick. I ordered my food to go so there wasn't much of an interaction but when ordering everyone seemed nice enough. They had some young guys taking orders and packaging food with a more seasoned looking cook in the back. The kitchen is open concept so you can see what's being done. Takeout was a breeze as it seems like the meat is pre cooked because they had my tacos ready in under 2 minutes. Some may prefer meat cooked to order (I know I normally do) but today I was in a rush so it worked out. I kept it simple and went with some street tacos: Carnitas: 3/5. A little dry and bland for my taste. Wasn't bad but I wouldn't get again. Asada: 5/5. Very flavorful and tasty. The meat pieces aren't very big but they packed good flavor that I didn't even need salsa on those tacos. I would definitely get this protein again as it was good. This place is a casual solid 3.5 but bumping them up to a 4 as we can't do half stars here. I appreciate that you can get food here in under a few minutes to be out the door. Not the best tacos in the 805 but when in the area it definitely hits the spot and I would come back for some easy grab and go street tacos.”

“All of the staff were friendly and helpful!The bar tender, Jordan, was especially awesome!It wasn't too busy when we were in, Jordan entertained us with stories(dude is super funny!) and made us great drinks!Really appreciate the cushions and pillows along the back walls as my back needs a bit of extra support when I'm out!The new fire tornadoes are great too!”

“Their ice cream is fantastic. We always stop by to get our fill whenever we are in the area. They have a large selection of flavors that have all been good. You can select many different flavors when you purchase a single scoop so you can sample their selection. It is worth a visit when you are in the area. They also have locations in Santa Barbara. I believe that is where they got their start.”

“This is an authentic taco shop right on the beach. 1/2 block to sand, free public parking, and restrooms. We ordered pastor and beef tacos. They came small, double tortilla wrapped (enough filling for 4), and in a nice plastic container. The green sauce was not spicy. Which is perfect for me; it was tangy and absolutely delicious.”

“Solid meal!! Taco shells were a little overcooked and chilie relleno a bit bland. The shredded beef, refried beans and salsa were delicious! Great, friendly service!”

“Cutely decorated quaint cafe. I was charging my car across the street and had to use the restroom when I discovered this place. They must have the beat banana bread I have ever had. The cream cheese spread and toasted warm bread is absolutely delicious!!”

“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.”

“I LOVE Lalo's. I moved to Santa Clarita for work 2 years ago from Ventura. I miss this place so much. Every time my family goes to Ventura, we stop at LaLo's. We love their ceviche with shrimp. It's so good.”

“The staff are very friendly and the shops are beautiful designed. The Coffee and tea are delicious, I always get a chai tea latte which has made it on my comfort foods list.Vegetarian options: Although the food isn't the best out there the coffee and teas are great and definitely vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: I haven't personally asked for any.changes to my order. I know they have many options for dietary restrictions.Kid-friendliness: Friendly to all customers no matter their age.Wheelchair accessibility: The store has no stares and many wheelchair accessible routes.”

“We had the breakfast burrito and the quesadilla and they were very good with large portions. We will get 2 meals out of this order. The potatoes are nice and crispy and salted just right. We will come here again when we are in the area.Most seating is outside but they do have 7 tables inside.”

“I’ve been here twice and the sandwiches have been amazing both times! Had a delicious club sandwich today - all the ingredients were super fresh and I love their aioli. Don’t know how more people don’t know about this place.”

“Shout out to Maggie helping out on a last minute coffee order for Eater Sunday at our church! Maggie and her team always come through for everyone. We appreciate their love and support. Thank you!”

“Spur of the moment lunch after hiking the Ventura Botanical gardens, great choice! We split the Cobb salad then she had the lamb burger and I had the turkey&pesto sandwich! Wonderful food and very good service for a busy Friday afternoon. Delicious flavors will have us coming back again!”

“We were off to a slow start-was the chef on break? But with an appetizer on the house, nice service, and a desire to eat Saag Paneer I waited. The Saag Paneer was full of flavor albeit I wish I had gotten it spicy not Medium. The Chicken vindaloo was good but not inspiring. The garlic naan good but it's usually fool proof. The complimentary rice pudding was light and the cardamom apparent. Good service except for food taking a while.”

“This was my first time trying Nepalese Cuisine and I LOVED it! I ordered the Dal Bhat Tarkari (Chicken). Everything tasted amazing and was full of flavor. I also ordered a Masala Chai that was delicious. The staff was friendly and courteous. I will definitely be going back again.”

“First time in a long time going to Capriccios, sorry we waited so long. 5 stars! Great service, wonderful and creative food, and a cozy atmosphere. Love the big windows so even on a cold night it feels indoor/outdoor. The pizza was the best we have had in Ventura! This will be a regular stop.”

“Hands down, best fish tacos my wife and I ever had. Huge tacos LOADED with fish. I get the battered and my wife gets the grilled and both are amazing. Locally owned, the delightful owners truly care about putting a quality product in front of you. Gorgeous presentation and oh-so- flavorful! And the beans and rice, not your typical refrieds, but a delicious white bean and jasmine rice, incredible! They even make their own blue corn tortillas. Nothing else in Ventura can match these fish tacos. You must give them a try!”

“My family has been going here for years. Always such good burritos. I wish I knew how they made their salsa, because some of my relatives moved out of state and cannot find salsa anywhere else this tasty. Sometimes we'll order ahead on the phone or just drop by.I'm only knocking a star, because having to buy sour cream as an extra for $2 is so silly. We just make sure to have a $3 container of sour cream when we get these. Way better deal.”

“This is an authentic taco shop right on the beach. 1/2 block to sand, free public parking, and restrooms. We ordered pastor and beef tacos. They came small, double tortilla wrapped (enough filling for 4), and in a nice plastic container. The green sauce was not spicy. Which is perfect for me; it was tangy and absolutely delicious.”

“We were referred to Scooter by a friend to cater our outdoor wedding. Scooter was easy to work with, communicative, timely, and oh boy was the food yummy. The chicken was moist, the tritip was flavorful, and there were a variety of sides to choose from. In addition to the food, they provided plates, utensils and napkins for guests. There were 100 guests and we had plenty of food for seconds. Thank you Scooter and team!”

“Great early morning breakfast. Our server, Joselyn E. did a great job for us. She was “swamped” with tables and maintained her composure, efficiently, and friendliness..”

“this is always a go too for me. I live close and its a great truck! lingua on point, pastor on point, cabeza on point, at least that's just my regular taco order lol also great horchata and churros if your in the mood for something sweet! anyway the menu is simple and straight forward which in my opinion usually means they know what they excel in and don't vier to far from it.”

“We arrived in the eveningtired after a whole day's travel. We received very good help and service - all portions are larger than usual and therefore easy to share. Nice clean and nice place. Can only get our warmest recommendations?????”

“Did lunch here. It was very enjoyable, and the service was good.I was a bit taken aback at the cost of a little glass of milk $4.49 and a side of fries, $6.99, which is a bit much.”

“I have since relocated from the 805 and really miss the food. I would drive back for it if time permitted. Al pastor is awesome, but ironically their chicken recipe is what I can't forget---chicken burrito, chicken tacos, chicken quesadilla, chicken anything. Very tasty spicy salsa, they don't call themselves Diablo for nothing! And get those fryer fresh chips, quesabirria, chicken burrito, a carnitas torta, and some fish tacos!”

“Modern restaurant with lots of meat options that you can pick from for your burrito. The desserts look fresh and amazing, can't wait to try. 4% discount if you pay in cash. Not too much indoor space so could be a challenge for large parties, plus they prepare everything as takeout. Highly recommended!”

“Hands down the best steak i ever had . the seasoning on it was just everything thing . it was so good that i had to come back & try it again & i must say they didn't disappoint !! i like this place so much that it has now become me & my fiancé favorite restaurant ! i can't wait to go back !!”

“Came here to celebrate my mom's and grandpas birthday with a party of 12 and the service was amazing!! Thank you to the manager, Kristy, for accommodating us super last minute. All our food was exceptional, everything came out on time and well cooked. Also try the mojitos, hands down my favorite drink with fresh fruit, super tasty .”

“Absolutely wonderful. Everything was fresh and delicious. Nothing was too sweet.The lovely lady at the counter happily walked me through the day’s selection. She said it changed every day. Everything looked incredible, it was hard to choose. We ended up with a raspberry and chocolate twist, a pineapple strudel, a croissant breakfast sandwich, a mocha and a cold brew.The twist and the strudel were perfectly fruity, flaky and soft. The sandwich was freshly made with ham, eggs and cheese. The pistachio croissant was heavenly. Perfectly crusty and flaky, a light pistachio pastry cream in the center, covered in crushed pistachios and sugar, without being overly sweet.Cannot wait to come back and try more.”

“Lovely harbor view. The interior appears to have been updated recently. Nice. Got some happy hour appetizers. And a well drink that, for some reason, wasn't charged happy hour price. Didn't notice until later. Frown. It was a strong drink. Woot.Parking: Parking right next to the restaurant must be used by other businesses because it was close to full even though the restaurant had just opened when we arrived and we were the only customers for a bit.”

“Good food as usual but the hamburger patties are alot thinner, so get a double double!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair friendly for dining inside or outside.”

“Great early morning breakfast. Our server, Joselyn E. did a great job for us. She was “swamped” with tables and maintained her composure, efficiently, and friendliness..”

“It’s always the best and has been for more years than I’ve been alive. I’m a vegetarian and the breakfast burrito and chili rellano are my go to. Red hot sauce for life!”

“Our server was perfect, the food was very good, but I need to give a huge shout out to Liam, the manager on Monday night. He turned an almost terrible situation into a wonderful experience and I hope the owners realize what a gem he is. His attitude, graciousness and problem-solving are a credit to both him and Brophy Bros. Refreshing in today’s restaurant experiences, for sure.”

“I just ordered my favorite pizza (large thin crust , jalapeño and pineapple) it was so perfect I had to go back in and find out who made it. Turns out it was Justin thumbs up he did a excellent job. Thank you. I was compelled to leave a decent tip.”

“Been awhile since I've had fish and this is surely the best place possible to go. Their menu is amazing with all of the best fish!I had their grilled halibut - wonderful! It melted in my mouth. Great beer selection.Will be back!!”

“We got two orders of the C2 it was a Nutella filled fishy pastry baked in house and fresh on top of cookies and cream ice cream, the dish itself was adorable. The kids loved it. The ambiance was cute and the staff were quick and attentive.”

“My boyfriend and I stayed here and overall, we ha d a very nice time. The staff was very nice, the early check in time (3) and the late check out (12) was a pro, for sure. Continental breakfast which was simple but good and free parking! Beautiful view and pool, though it was cold so we did not use it. No hot tub though :/. Some reviews said it was loud because of the freeway, but I could only hear the waves! I would come back, but probably for a weekday rate instead of the pricey weekend rate.”

“Lunch with coworker ... and we were trying to figure out where to go! Toppers never disappoints. Founded in my hometown of Oxnard, it is def a favorite!!! I had been to this local before years ago. I usually go to the one in Oxnard on Gonzales or the one on Front Street in Ventura. This is an older location that could use some remodeling and upgrading. I would love for their older locations to get some love :) Our pizzas were perfect. Came up quick! We were out within our allotted lunch time! Woohooo! My only rec is .. if you're looking for a nicer place- I'd recommend going to their Front Street location here in Ventura or their location in Oxnard by the harbor. Love the views at those two the most!!! If you're not an Oxnard hater .. my favorite is the harbor location right by the water! Regardless of which location you choose .. great pizza! Ask for it well done, since the upgrade to their ovens the crust can be underdone at times :/ This is our hack! Crispy crunchy pizza each time if you eat on site!”

“Such a cool place! My wife loves the fish tacos and I love the asada tacos. Service at the pick up window is always fast. Good beer selection and good music always playing! Happy hour is sweet!”

“The Pho is enough for 2 people and it's delicious! We have had both the chicken and the Wagu beef. Also, the rice plates with fried rice and either Wagu beef or spicy pork is really good. We get one of each (Pho and rice plate) and share. We are quite full and satisfied when we finish! And the prices are very reasonable.”
