Ruby's Cafe — Restaurant in Oxnard

First!! Parking was a problem, I was worried about my vehicle in this location. Couldn't find parking people hanging around the bus depot were really shady. Second!! The restrooms were atrocious. That was just in the meantime of being seated. The waiter was very nice but very forgetful. He seemed to be more working where he can get the best tips. We ordered two Micheladas one water and the one coke and he forgot one michelada. We received our meal and it looked excellent although I wouldn't recommend ordering the guacamole because it's not worth it for $8. The chips were stail and the salsa was water. Kudos to the chef, the nachos were excellent the ceviche camaron was excellent and the camaron mango habanero was good only because the shrimp was not deveined. If I'm going to pay $18 a plate I would like the shrimp deveined. Then the check came the receipt showed the bill for the meal you weren't allowed to Total the bill if you were giving a credit card so I ended up paying in cash. I drove from the Bakersfield area to visit this place, I wont be visiting this place again. Although many patrons of this establishment seemed to be having a great time. I did not think it was...

WE WENT ON A SAT. EVENING AROUND 6PM AND WERE SEATED RIGHT AWAY, WHICH WAS AWESOME. SERVICE WAS FRIENDLY AND INFORMATIVE. WE HAD NEVER BEEN THERE BEFORE AND WE WERE FLOORED BY THE DELICIOUS FOOD. WE GOT THE RUBY'S PLATTER AND PREPARED OYSTERS. BOTH WERE DELICIOUS AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. MY KIDS SHARED NACHOS (NOTHING SPECIAL) BUT LEFT THEIR NACHOS TO EAT FROM OUR PLATTER. IT CAN EASILY FEED 4-5 ADULTS WHO CAN EAT (MY HUBBY IS AN EATER) LOL WE ALSO GOT A FEW DRINKS. WE GOT "THE CANTARITO" WHICH IS SERVED IN A HUGE CANTARO BUT THEY SERVE THE TEQUILA ON THE SIDE (3 SHOTS) SO YOU CAN ADD AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS YOU WANT. WE ALSO GOT A CHAMOY MANGO MARGARITY (LARGE) BLENDED AND IT WAS AMAZING!!! ARE THIRD DRINK WASN'T AS GOOD, A CUCUMBER MARGARITA ON THE ROCKS, IT WAS WAYYY TOO STRONG AND THE TASTE WAS OFF. BUT OVERALL, OUR EXPERIENCE THERE WAS GREAT AND WE WOULD FOR SURE DRIVE THE 2 HOURS IT TOOK US TO GET THERE....WE LIVE FAR BUT IT WAS SO WORTH IT. OH AND ON FRIDAY-SUNDAY THEY HAVE LIVE MUSIC OUT IN THEIR PATIO SO THAT WAS ALSO COOL. AT 10 THEIR NIGHTCLUB OPENS FOR ALL YOU DANCERS . MAKE NOTE...IT IS PRICEY BUT IT...

We wanted to try a few places down in Oxnard, and this was one of them. We're already stuffed from a taco place we had stopped earlier, so we started with drinks at Ruby's place, and later on my hubby ordered the alguachile verde n rojo. Both were good, but we loveed the green one. Live music in the patio, drinks were good, I had a chamango, and a cantarito that i accidentally spilled all over 😒😔😣 before I could taste it. Our waiter was very nice, and attentive eventhogh he was supper busy. They replace my drink that I spill, which i really appreciate. Hoping to visit in Dec, and looking to stop by to enjoy the great music and delicious alguachiles!!

From one of the other reviewers complaining place is next to a bus station and bums walking literally next to their table and felt like they could've snatched their personal belongings: Let me update you, the patio has like a decorative fence so nobody is esposed to the walkway anymore. We felt safe, even when...
