My go to for all things good to eat in Ojai

How do you serve food like this? Burnt enchiladas buried in lettuce and sour cream. Maybe you thought someone would not turn the tortilla over to see what they were eating. I guess people light to eat garbage. Also, the place is filthy inside the dining room. Help!

True hole in the wall spot in Ojai. Homemade tortillas! Located in a small strip of stores just past The Nest and downtown shops. Looking for a quick bite with a hangry toddler, I stumbled upon La Fuente. This is a no fuss spot. To be honest at first I was apprehensive because it looked a little messy. I was pleasantly surprised!

We ordered a bean and cheese kids size burrito (super generous size) and chicken taquitos. Within about 10 minutes our food was ready! We enjoyed our food outdoors. Very reasonable prices and satisfying. The burritos and tamales seem to be a local favorite.

While not the prettiest or more quaint restaurant, it gets the job done. Quick, tasty, fresh, and reasonable. Will return!

We were looking for a small and quick bite to eat...our go to Taco place was closed and after looking at the pricing at another Mexican restaurant in the downtown (expensive) we found La Fuente. Where tacos were a reasonable $2.50-$2.75 per taco! Simple and delicious. They have a self serve salad bar and the salsa roja was my favorite. It had great flavor. We ordered taquitos also but they weren't anything to die for. I don't think I would order those again. I would prefer more tacos! Also got a quesadilla and that was good. Your average quesadilla but with the salsas....delicious! It's not very glamorous inside but the food is good. There are also 2-3 small tables to sit outside near the parking. I would come back here.

Excellent steak!
Excellent service!
Very casual atmosphere.
Reasonable price.
The meat selection in this restaurant was obviously well done. The chef is likely having a local delivery and knows his meats well. Deserts were clearly outsourced, but the rest of the food was delicious.

Not the fanciest place in town, but it has authentic Mexican food. When we left at 12:30pm (April 2023) there was a long line out the door, of mostly local laborers. I had the 2 beef tamales plate, which came with rice & beans ($12.99 before tax). It was good, though one tamale had the beef filling inside only about 2/3rds of it. But the beans were the best I've had in decades.
They didn't have a good, mild red sauce at the salsa bar and all they had were tiny plastic miniature cups instead of small salsa bowls.
It was good enough were I will come back again, but will order something different.

La Fuente is authentic Mexican food and is muy bien y delicioso! The staff is great and the prices can't be beat!

I had 3 street tacos for lunch and it was soooo much food and so reasonably priced! $2.50 per taco and each one comes with a generous amount of meat.

They are one of the few restaurants in Ojai that is open until 10 on Friday & Saturday!

Next time, I want to try the Huraches- My mouth was watering as the waitress delivered it to another table.

I've been going here for years and find it provides Consistently good food, particularly their tamales. Staff is also courteous. Atmosphere is sparse and casual but very clean.

one of my favorite spots. best comfort food and awesome service. i can recommend: homemade tortilla tacos (carnitas!), nachos, tamales (chile and cheese or chicken), bean rice and cheese burrito and their breakfast burritos!!!! im going to try their enchiladas soon too! oh also they have a good salsa bar

Convenient right downtown Ojai
Prices are good
Ordered taquitos,tamales,cheese enchiladas beans and rice. All completely bland and tasteless and cold. Could be the worst Mexican food I've ever had. Sad
No pico de gallo or chips with order.
Red sauce on enchiladas were nonexistent. Tamales were dry but the seasoning was ok.
I hope they step up their game!!!
