★★★★★ 5.0 Carrie Spira · Dec 2025

This was my first time here and I love it! I went in for an early dinner after some shopping in downtown Ventura. I ordered the Colifor Taco and added a side of Rice and Beans. The taco was a work of art and tasted just as amazing. The cauliflower had a light batter and was dressed with micro greens, crema, almond arbol salsa, avocado, salsa cruda, and dates on a blue corn tortilla. It was sweet, savory, salty and creamy. The blend of flavors was delightful. The rice was light and fluffy alongside pinto beans topped with queso fresco. I asked for chips to scoop them which added a light salty crunch. This was the perfect meal for a light dinner. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The decor and ambiance is soft and inviting. I will be back soon!!!

Been here for both lunch and dinner, so I feel qualified to speak on this. Corazón Cocina on Main Street does not miss. The standout for me is the aguachiles. They're not traditional and that's the point. Potato taquitos in aguachiles sounds wild, but somehow it works and I crave it every time. Counter service, easy flow, no fuss. Also, I'm sorry, but the reviews saying the food is bland? That feels... suspicious. The flavors are very much there. The coliflor taco and the tia Juana are everything. Crunchy, flavorful, great texture. Complimentary chips and salsa are always a win, and the cocktails are refreshing and crisp. Salsa mugrosa is my fave, smoky and hits all my taste buds. Perfect for a casual sit-down or a low-key date night. Yes, Ventura County has plenty of taquerías/taco truc

My wife and I went with friends during their “soft opening”. In terms of service, we went in with low expectations as we assumed they would still be ironing out kinks. But we were pleasantly surprised with exceptional service. The food was terrific too. Flavor and presentation did not disappoint! The best part of all was the atmosphere. We asked to be seated in the back courtyard, and the vibes were A+. If you drink alcohol, order the passionfruit La Guerita. Delicious! Update on 11/1/2025 I stopped for breakfast and decided on the Los Alamos breakfast burrito. Now, I haven’t had every breakfast burrito in town. But I’d say I’ve had the top 6 or 7? The Los Alamos is hands down the BEST breakfast burrito in all of Ventura. Most BB are overloaded with massive, bland, chunks of russet pota

We were seated immediately and told that our server would be by to take our drink order. More than 10 minutes had passed and we were talking about leaving when our server came up, semi apologetic about the delay. He had already served others who had been seated after us. I think there was some poor communication of which server was assigned to our table or from the host to the server that we were waiting for. Fortunately, what saved the experience is the food was delicious and the server was being very nice after that point. To drink, I ordered the Aztec Old Fashioned which was very smooth and noticeably high quality. We started with the guacamole, which was served with house made chips and salsa. The guac was delicious, seasoned well and a touch of heat. The chips were perfect,

★★★★★ 5.0 Marinda Melonson · Jul 2025

New favorite spot! Incredible food - quality, flavor, and presentation. I had the Coliflor and Ensenada tacos and they were so delicious. The cauliflower and the fish in each taco were both perfectly fried and accompanied by great flavors and textures with their toppings. We also enjoyed the guacamole and salsas - yum! We waited about 35 minutes for a table, which was the estimated wait time by the hostess. Not bad for a Saturday night at peak dinner time. It was definitely busy in the restaurant but the staff were on it and the food came out pretty quick. Can’t wait to come back and try more.
