I can't remember the name of it but there's a carnitas place in the Nard that is next level. You order by the pound and buy a stack of torts, hit the salsa bar and holy cow (pig)!!!!
Carnitas El Rey. Their torts are insane. Sister restaurant in Hueneme is Carnitas El Brother.

That taco shop at the old gas station in Brookings is a godsend. Legit AF.
I will have to give it another shot next time I'm there. I went there years ago and don't recall being blown away but I don't remember what I ordered.

corrales is dog food. the real stuff is on ventura avenue, and downtown oxnard.
yep! In my 20s I worked a couple blocks up from the tracks above Wooley and we’d hit La Paloma in Colonia. We’d ask the grammy to make something if it was the menu or not and she’s always deliver. Taco de Mexico etc. Lots of gut wrenching food near the Amtrak. You gotta earn that cast iron stomach.

there's some diamonds in the rough but generally yes

lived within cycling distance of this place for a few years and it was good pretty also


after driving back from surfing your local I'd always grab a burrito at this joint, options for no rice or bean bullshit inside

Many, many moons ago I was doing a re-model on a McMahan's furniture store down there and for lunch we used to go to this Mexican joint right there at the entrance to Silver Strand.
Outstanding burritos and tacos.
Is it still there?

I think you're talking about Pepe's. Ordered a chicken burrito. I thought it was good.

Used to be good, Joe the old owner sold out years ago, sucks now.
