This is a little hole in the wall place that has truly authentic Mexican food with friendly staff. I had the al pastor burrito.

This has become my all time fave for breakfast burritos!! They have been closed for last few years and just reopened. I've gone every weekend since they've been open and have enjoyed a breakfast burrito. Hope they stay open!!

This place shouldn't be called a bakery. It's more a restaurant than a bakery. They had maybe 4 trays of pan. I bought 2 conchas and 1 pink cookie. I took one bite out of each and trashed it! It was the WORST bread I have ever had in my life! It had the worst taste and had a hint of food. I think because so much food is cooked here the scent goes straight to the bread and changes it flavors.
I didn't order food but I wanted to. I will probably go back for the food and hope it's better. It smelled great inside and the lady working was very friendly.
The area is bad but isn't just about all of Oxnard turning that way. - Ismael C.Oxnard, CA664630Apr 10, 2023
*when this place was open* Pre-covid.
This is a place that you will drive by over and over again and not even notice.
But dont judge the outside, along with the inside by appearances. This place has a dedicated following. I typically get a breakfast sandwich or a carna asada burrito with their delicious hot sauce. It's hot. It's what you call a "quema culo".
Wish they would open again.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dec 27, 2019
You want authentic Mexican food that's a great price point AND beyond good? If you answered yes to any and/or all of the above then this spot is waiting for you. Love coming to this spot when I'm in town and met the owner once who quickly made friends and went on to talk about how proud and good his food is. I've had their tacos to their burritos to their tamales...all are incredible, can't recommend this spot enough. Legit of the legit for Mexican food in and around Ventura/Oxnard.

I love their food!
After a while of getting breakfast burritos and pancakes, I started getting different breakfast items.
Their super croissant and breakfast burger are delicious!!! They both have a type of sauce that complements the food.
If you are ordering to go, I would recommend calling ahead since it can get busy.
The staff os friendly and try to get your food out asap.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Sep 30, 2018
Driving on PCH we got hungry and we found this off the beaten path place in Port Hueneme. We haven't had breakfast but it's close to lunchtime so we stopped at this place. I had their pancakes and a side of machaca and machaca burrito. The pancakes a bit heavy but really good. We had the green, red and habanero salsa. Habanero salsa super hot but flavorful. I couldn't stop pouting it on my food even though my mouth was on fire. The flour tortillas were soft and you can tell
It's homemade. Alex not sure if he's the owner, was very nice and helpful. He came by to check up on us. We told him if we live near we would come by more to try the rest of the dishes. We heard the tamales are really good. But we're stuff so we didn't order it. After we paid he came with three tamales for us to take home to try. What an awesome customer service. I'm not writing this because of that. I want you to try this place when you're in the area and looking for authentic good food. I really enjoyed it.Helpful 12Thanks 0Love this 7Oh no 0 - HueroVero M.Oxnard, CA10126234Oct 20, 2018Updated review

This place is heaven on earth! The staff is very friendly and the food is very delicious! We went there for Mother's Day and we can't wait to go back. My husband and i had the red chilaquiles combo with no egg, my mom had the chicken mole enchiladas and our kiddos had pancakes sauce and bacon! Prices are reasonable and don't let the outside of the place fool you! We can't wait to go back.
