I've been coming here since Johnny & his family ran the place in the 1970s. The new owner uses the same recipes and the food is just as good as it was then. If I'm anywhere in Ventura County, I'm trying to get to Johnny's!...Read More

UPDATE Returned today and tried a shredded beef California burrito and a chile relleno/pork burrito. The California was really special and I’d return for it any day. The hot crispy French fries melded just right with the beef and cheese. The other burrito was solid but...Read More

I have only had the "Small" burritos and the Horchata. The nice thing about the Horchata is that ice doesn't dilute it right away, so you may have the impression that it's too sweet at first. But I like that more than too watery! In...Read More

Excellent family run Mexican joint. I’ve been here twice while visiting the area, and I can say that their food is high quality and delicious. Everything seems to be handmade. I’ve had the crispy beef tacos and their chorizo and egg burrito. I can say I would recommend...Read More

Absolutely incredible flour chips and chimichanga. One of the best I’ve ever had. Could use a fan in the dining room since it heats up when the sun sets, but food was amazing.
