★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Eric Lane · Mar 2026

I came in for the first time looking for guidance. The menu looked authentic so I asked what is the largest most meat choice? I was recommended this thing that looks like a Mexican pizza. Anything but. The staff are friendly it's clean but this thing had a salt level of a block in a horse stall and was dripping with lard grease red hot potato cheese puffs more unnatural oil based cheese rubbery tortillas and the guacamole was good but again too much salt. The meat layer below was edible but barely the meats were slightly overseasoned again too much salt and greasy.or waxy dry as in overcooked with dried lard. I wish I could say different but I struggled not to waste the food I'd ordered. Barf.

★★★★★ 5.0 Elysia Guillen · Dec 2025

Taqueria Cuernavaca is one of those neighborhood spots you’re grateful to have nearby. Located right on the Avenue, it’s easy, comforting, and consistently good. For me, one of the best indicators that the food is going to be amazing is when there are dish photos on the menu. That alone sets the tone. The fresh salsa bar is a standout, and yes, they have Mexican Coke and cervezas. On weekends, don’t miss the white pozole with crunchy rolled taquitos filled with ricotta-style queso and all the fresh fixings. Add that chili oil and thank me later. I also love their tacos, especially the veggie ones. I’m not vegetarian, but they’re that good. The ambiance is casual and welcoming. Clean, bright, and no-frills in the best way. It feels like a true neighborhood taquería where you can come as

★★★★★ 5.0 Mario Glez. · Feb 2026

Fabulous find! I came across this small restaurant in Ventura and it truly impressed me. The service was excellent and the Mexican food was absolutely delicious. The chips with guacamole were fresh and flavorful, and we also enjoyed the Cuban torta, flautas, gorditas, sopes, alambres, tacos—everything was outstanding. Highly recommend this place! After many years of having lost track of this restaurant, I finally found it again—and I’m not losing it this time. A very long story with a happy ending.
