Ocotlán Restaurant — Restaurant in Oxnard

The food is what you expect if you were in Ocotlán and someone opened their kitchen to everyone to share their family dinner. Very delicious, remember Mexican food is regional in flavor and preparation, this is Ocotlán version. The menu is probably 15 choices including breakfast, soups and dinners, but what they have is prepared with love. Handmade tortillas if you're wondering. It has a large diner style counter with room for 20+ due to it caters to lots of single working men and that's why their prices are very low, but during the week it's not that busy. On the weekends it's packed with families, even at the large counter sitting side by side. The service is awkward at best, but only for their attention, once you have it you're taken care of. Seat yourself, they're busy. It's a hole in the wall, so just...

Food looked authentic but wasn't that great to be honest...the meat was too fatty and the beans were not refried beans..this place is not very accommodating to English speakers as well so make sure you come with a Spanish speaking friend or else you might not be able to order. The restaurant itself is an old times diner/bar with a cool nostalgic feel to it, the only downsides were that it's a little too dark in there not very well lit and also the vibe I got from the patrons kinda threw me off... not very pleasant to be stared down by 5 people while you wait for your food...

Very disappointed in various things. For starters, the cantaloupe water was way over sweetened. The handmade tortillas looked delicious, once we took a bite. They taste sour, mentioned it to the waitress and she said okay. I'll bring you some other kind so they brought us store-bought tortillas instead. Why are they selling bad tortillas? They should know if their dough is bad and not serve it to the public. We then ordered the menudo which tastes like it was from a can, horrible. Needless to say, we will not return...
