El Tecolote Restaurant — Restaurant in Camarillo

This restaurant is supposed to accept the 2019 Axxess card. They posted on the door that they do not accept the 2020 Axxess card so I asked before I was seated if they accepted the 2019 card. They told me they did. We sat down and I showed the card to the waitress and asked her if the card was accepted and she told me that it was. We ordered dinner and when she brought the bill she said she could not accept the card. I explained that was not what they told me when we walked in. I paid for the two meals, The owner was not around and the woman that I spoke to was rude. I have had similar things happen when using promos and the establishments have always been accommodating, not this one. The food is mediocre at best. $15 for four taquitos is overpriced. They were thin and dry. The beans served with the dinner had no cheese on the top and were just plain not great re-fried beans. The rice was dry and not very good. The seats were uncomfortable and looked as old as the restaurant. The floors seemed dirty like the building. I would recommend any other Mexican restaurant in Camarillo, I would even choose Taco Bell over this cruddy establishment. I don't understand how this place could be in business so long with such lousy employees and subpar food. They lost a customer, I will never return and I will make it a point to make sure none of my...

I had been driving by El Tecolote for the past 16 years and never did I stop to try the place. Well today was that day. I was invited to go to the restaurant by some friends and let's just say I was glad I had not stopped prior. I ordered the Shrimp Cocktail, it's a good size. They even fill it to the rim but as the Cocktail sat in front of me while I wait for everyone's food to arrive all I could think about was "what is that smell " low and behold it was the Cocktail, now mind you, yes it's seafood but I have had other Cocktails that dont smell like the shrimp had been out the fridge all day. I could not stand the smell and yes I did not send it back. I could not bring myself to tell the restaurant that their Cocktail smelled fishy. So I ended up ordering Tacos Dorados which were a little dry, the beans were dry and the rice was dry. The only thing that was not dry was the salsa they brought out with the chips. The staff was great you can see them working hard. The atmosphere was descent, I guess the food just didn't make the experience that much better. This is...

We had a family reunion at El Tecolote. Everything went well and everyone enjoyed the food. We were a group of 20 people and everyone was served at a similar time.

Congratulations to the staff and cooks who made this possible.

Sandra helped us out and she was wonderful! She helped me with the panning of the family photo and made sure to help moving tables and chairs to make our photo happen.

NOW the Food: It was Excellent. Look at my chicken and Shrimp Fajitas. The portion is large and comes with beans, rice and tortillas. The Shrimp were large and the chicken juicy and caramelized on the outside. All the food was delicious. They had set up Chorizo with cheese and beans for a dip with large thick chips. We all loved them.

The Flan and chocolate cake were rich and full of flavor.

There was a constant stream of local to Port Hueneme and Camarillo.

You will love the food, the décor and most of all the crew who was great with a very...
