Best Casual Restaurants in Oxnard

Friendly waitstaff, which is always important to us (although management was a bit distant), and a menu with several unique entrees (loved their polenta lasagna and mesquite chicken salad) made for an experience that I plan to duplicate in the weeks ahead.

We had an incredible New Year’s Day brunch! Huge shout-out to Nathan for taking excellent care of us. His warmth and attentiveness really helped set the tone for the New Year. We can’t wait to come back!

Exceptional Experience! From the warm welcome, to the extraordinary and caring service, to the perfectly crafted incredibly delicious menu with exquisite wine pairings, this was a holiday meal we will never forget and which will be hard to top! Thank you!

We always enjoy this gem, and it was extra special when we got one of our favorite waitresses, Jennie!

For the main course, I ordered the carne asada tacos, which were grilled to perfection and served with a side of salsa and pickled onions. My wife enjoyed the enchiladas suizas, featuring tender chicken wrapped in soft tortillas. The flavors were authentic and satisfying. **Service**: The service was friendly and efficient. Our server was enthusiastic. We never felt rushed, and the staff was attentive throughout our visit. **Ambiance**: The ambiance is vibrant and colorful, with traditional Mexican decor that creates a festive atmosphere. The lively music and bright artwork contribute to the overall experience, making it a fun spot for gatherings with friends or family. **Price**: Pricing is quite reasonable it offers great value for a casual dining experience. **Overall Experience**: This place is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine.
