Orosco's De Ventura

The food is good. The waitress was friendly. There is so much potential. The location is great short walk to the beach. Nearby breweries. A BIT disorganized. Not big fan where you can see the entire kitchen. If you going have open kitchen it would have to be spotless. The menu is one page only one side is food. The prices are similar prices from what you pay at a Steakhouse. The presentation is nice whomever is the owner or head chef has formal training.

Horrible experience. If I could give less then one star I would. This is my first bad review it’s something I just don’t do .. in this case had to. Reservations for 1:35 The lady at the counter handling seating was rude, not welcoming At All. 1:55 being seated. (Party of 3) After we were seated it took a half hour for the waitress to take our drink order.. so at this point we put in our food order as well. Waitress seemed annoyed. Waitress passed by our table 3 times and said I’ll bring out your drinks right now… The drinks didn’t arrive so after 20 min more of waiting we asked a male waiter walking by if he could bring out our drinks. Which he was kind enough to do. No apology from the waitress, but after Another 35 min our food arrived. Different waitress brought out Tortillas 15 min after food arrival. This photo is what they call Carne Asada. This establishment should be embarrassed. There are plenty of other restaurants in Ventura county to visit. Do not waste your time/ money at this one.

Check out the back patio it is like being in another country. Warm atmosphere good warm atmosphere good music and fast service. The salsa and the hot sizzling cast iron plates make it worthwhile. Get worthwhile. And if you haven't had a Margarita here you're missing out As they are jumbo sized for a great price. This is our family favorite place to eat in Ventura.

Excellent! We couldn't make it to the Tequila & Taco Music Festival at the Ventura Fairgrounds this year 😔 to make up for that we thought of having some great Mexican food in a comfortable environment. Lo and behold my girlfriend finds a Mexican restaurant within minutes of where we sat on the beach. Upon arrival the exterior looks like it could be a small operation. We get inside and start looking up pictures of the plates and immediately we decide on ordering the aguachiles. My girlfriend ordered a custom watermelon with Tito's margarita and I opted for the cucumber margarita with Tequila Ocho. AMAZING flavor!! To start the meal we ordered two each of the asada and fish tacos a la carte. Both dishes presented great colors and flavors. I personally feel like these are the best fish tacos I've ever tasted - the mango on top rounded out the taco flavor with some sweetness. The asada tacos are no joke either! Savory with the hint of citrus on the meat, makes me salivate just thinking about it. To fill out the meal we opted for the asada fajitas to come with our aguachiles (not pictured). Overall I would willingly make the 2 hour trip from the San Gabriel valley again soon to try some more.

Extremely staff friendly restaurant located at the perfect spot. You can walk to and from the pier to this place. The food is amazing and the steaks live up to the hype. Tomahawk steak is what is most popular and if you are trying to get one make sure you call ahead of time to confirm they still have them. The back patio is definitely an experience to eat at. Come here on a date or bring the whole family along you're guaranteed to have a blissful experience.

Best Mexican food in the county! They are open for dine in and have a very nice, large, outdoor patio. The portions are good sized, especially for the tomahawk steak and ribeye. Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality of food they serve. They also have a huge selection of tequila and the margaritas taste great.

This was our first time going here and maybe it was because it was mother's day but it took an hour to get our food. It was around 1-2 in the afternoon and it seemed like others were also upset on wait times since there were other parties upset and going up to the kitchen to see what was taking long. Would've been nice if we were told that they were behind but there was no communication that there was gonna be a wait or that they were short staffed and when we were waiting for food there was still no communication, no one came by and asked how we were doing. If you know you're behind let your customers know so I don't waste my time and money. Because then when our food got there, my moms steak she ordered was hard to cut through w the knife they gave, the rice had hard pieces which seemed to be uncooked. My aguachilles were also for my taste eh. For how much we had to wait it just was not good and worth finishing it. I just paid and left. When we told them about our experience with everything the server had said they were behind in the kitchen, which like I said would've been awesome to know when we got there rather than an hour of just sitting there waiting. Communication and organization seemed pretty bad, so not sure if they were missing some people because the younger servers too just didn't seem experienced and looked like they didn't wanna be there. Giving them the benefit of the doubt though since other reviews seem pretty good so maybe got them on a bad day but it was overall just bad and won't be back myself.
