Best Spanish food near Ventura, California, United States
Discover Restaurants offering the best Spanish food in Ventura, California, United States. Ventura, officially the City of San Buenaventura, is the county seat of Ventura County, California, United States. European explorers encountered a Chumash village, referred to as Shisholop, in Ventura while traveling along the Pacific coast. The eponymous Mission San Buenaventura was founded nearby in 1782 where it benefitted from the water of the Ventura River. The town grew around the mission compound and incorporated in 1866. The development of nearby oil fields in the 1920s and the age of automobile travel created a major real estate boom during which many designated landmark buildings were constructed. The mission and these buildings are at the center of a downtown that has become a cultural, retail, and residential district and visitor destination.

The menu is , as the name implies, generally tacos and related menu choices. The prices are reasonable, Portions small but in relationship with the price. We had tacos. The tacos did not taste fresh. It was if the inserts were kept on a refrigerator and warmed up in a microwave. I could be wrong. We will not return.

6. Copa Cubana
Reviewed By arrybay9
Cuban food well-prepared, a wonderful marina setting, attentive service staff ... this place has it all. After a most perfect platanos appetizer, I had veggie creole (with black beans) which was super delicious. My lunch partner had one of the creative grilled cheese sandwiches which she deemed likewise superb. And Andres, the owner/chef, was a wonderful host, rightfully proud of his restaurant gem.

We stopped here for a quick bite to eat on our way up the coast and very glad we did. Sit at the bar at the front of the restaurant if you can, it's great for watching the world go by as you eat cheese and drink a nice glass of wine Our waitress recommended some great cheese options to try and the board we got we great, nice and colourful 4 types of cheese and then chutney / figs / olives / breads - it was all delicious and a great price for the quality of the food

I walked into this restaurant hungry and expecting so-so chicken mole. I was blown away by the tastes. Theis mole is off-the-charts wonderful. The cilantro rice, airy, light and exquisitely flavored. I have been fortunate to sample mole around the world, but this, oh THIS mole, is by far my most favorite of all time. Service was charming, the food exquisite and I took as much of this mole home as I could carry. What a treat. What a find! I'll be back many, many, many times. By the end of the year, I expect to have my own table! :-)

Ok, where to begin? I tossed and turned whether to rate this place 3 or 4 stars. As far as the food is concerned, it is good. It's not the best but certainly above average (hence 4 stars). It's not like I don't like the place but would I come here with family and friends for a night of Mexican food...most likely not.This is more like a lunch place with good food and great customer service. The prices are slightly high for my taste but not a wallet breaker. Seating is very limited if it's during a rush hour and parking is extremely limited. This is obviously better than Mexican fast food or places like Yolanda's so please don't come with super high expectations but do expect a good meal.

Very cheap and tasty authentic Mexican food from hole in the wall stand...always busy but worth the wait. Few benches outside to sit but most people take away for the beach or hotels/homes. Lots on the menu to choose from!

This place is perfection. Flavor central. Less beans and cheese, more peppers onions and outstanding salsas that complement the meats of your choice perfectly. Reasonable portions, great service. Could eat here every day!
