Mothers - Ventura (CA)

5 /5 Grant Leichtfuss: I’ve been a few times and it is always great. If you’re looking for flavor packed, elevated Mexican in Ventura, try Mother’s Tacos. On my most recent visit, I had the new Milanesa Torta sandwich. My god was that sandwich incredible. I’ve also had the chips, guacamole and salsa, several tacos, beans and rice. All A+ so far. Best elevated Mexican restaurant in Ventura County!

5 /5 Judy S: Upscale Mexican dishes - not your average tacos! Better than Mom makes! Absolutely incredible! Mother’s Tacos is hands down one of the best hidden gems in Ventura. Thank you for coming to Ventura and upleveling our dining expeeience. The food is fresh, flavorful, and made with love — you can truly taste it in every bite. The fish tacos were perfectly seasoned, the salsas have just the right kick, and the portions are generous. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, (GM Chris is awesome!) and the atmosphere has that laid-back Ventura vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. You can tell this place was built on passion for great food and good people. We will be back.

5 /5 Corrine Bothwell: If I could give a 100 stars I would. I havent been this excited over food coming from a restaurant in months, maybe even a year. The ambiance inside was so light, refreshing and modern. But the food was the statement. I ordered an Al Pastor taco, esquites, chicken skins, and a Lime in the Coconut virgin piña colada. I have literally nothing bad to say about the food. Everything was perfection. The chicken skins had this really yummy mole salt. Kept it a little spicy but not too much. The esquites was very creamy with garlic and lots of cheese. Made it perfect to go on top of those chicken skins. And lastly my drink was so out of this world. I cant even put into words how amazing it was! I highly recommend Mothers and will definitely be back.

2 /5 Emiliano D.: The space was definitely warm and welcoming. The staff were prompt with the service from the moment we got there to when we got our food. The food on the other hand was not it, all three taco options(asada, mushroom, al pastor). Were lackluster in flavor and the salsa they had was not much help either. The most flavor the tacos got was when we put sal and limon on them. The aguas frescas were pretty solid though.
