Amazing French pastrie, desserts and sandwiches. English muffin breakfast sandwich is my personal fave. There are multiple locations, so search online for the nearest one while you’re out and about.

Anaba

There are multiple locations in Oxnard, this is the closest. Best carnitas in Southern California hands down. Note, they don’t serve other meats, just carnitas, because they’re so damn good at it.

Best aguachiles and ceviches around. Some of them are pretty spicy, so ask for the milder ones if you don’t want it too hot.

Excellent farm to table outdoor casual restaurant specializing in rotisserie chicken. Most items are ala carte, so order a 1/4 or 1/2 chicken and add some wonderful sides to share to keep it affordable. They are also well known for their homemade sourdough breads so make sure to grab a loaf on your way home.

Not the best beer in Ventura County (competition is pretty high), but definitely getting better as it is a new establishment. Mixed drinks are pretty creative and tasty. Great food and an overall good representation of Oxnard vibes. Great ambiance. A must visit.
