I had the Snapper Burrito. It seemed as if the fish just swam thru it and decided not to stay. I thought this would be their signature meal. Wrong!

This is a fast food restaurant. The food was just "ok". The salsa bar was a mess; the restroom not clean. The fish in the fish tacos was fishy but the beef and chicken were much better. Prices were reasonable.

I have lived in Ventura for 28 years and I go out to eat at least once a week so I know all the restaurants and I know that there are no better fish tacos served anywhere between Thousand Oaks and Goleta than there are at Snapper Jack's Taco shack. All the other food is on par with them as... More

Other reviews rave about the quality of food here, but I just think it's a fast food quality place, it just doesn't seem that fresh. Corrales is much better

Stopped in here for lunch on a whim and was delightfully surprised. The fish tacos are absolutely fantastic. Generous portions and a lively atmosphere help too.

So this place is owned by the same family that owns Yolanda's. They even have "Yolanda's" salsa. The food is always fresh and yummy but my favorite item on the menu is the crunchy flour tacos with special sauce.

The Tripadvisor reviews we read assured us of a good meal, but in reality it was truly great! My wife and I had the potato, shrimp, and battered fish tacos. All were wonderful especially with crunchy flour torillas and secret sauce. The servings are generous. The salsa bar is one of the best I've seen. The staff is friendly and... More

Above average traditional Mexican food but perhaps the best fish tacos I have ever had. Order them with crispy tortilla and grilled fish. Secret sauce and Yolanda's Mild salsa are also highly recommended from the salsa bar. Very reasonably priced ala carte so great for the whole family.

Excellent snapper burrito or fish tacos! The service is quick with very tasty salsa options. A great place near Ventura College to grab a bite and watch some surf on the Televisions...
