Yes, there are two locations in Oxnard, this one and one on Saviers Road. Been eating here for 20 years and it never changes--great burritos, and the mild salsa is so good that they have to charge 10 cents for each small container.

Food is good for the most part but if your not Mexican, they do not treat you fairly. If you call them on the phone and don't speak Spanish they will mock you in Spanish thinking you don't understand. more

You don't go for the atmosphere, unless you love the smell of pork fat...be prepared for a humble hole in the wall that makes the best burritoes and tacos you will ever sink your teeth into. My favorites are al pastor tacos (spicy pork), chile relleno burritoes, and carne asada anything. You may need to brush up on your Spanish... more
