Ventura’s historic and cultural neighborhood, known as the Avenue, has Mexican restaurants dotted all over the place. And on Taco Tuesday, it’s time to see what’s cooking. MUNCHIES Hosts Jeffrey Alan Belzer and Malachi Gallegos start their day with some sunshine and surfing, before heading to taste a variety of Mexican specialties.
First stop is Angie’s Deli and Mexican Food, which is hiding in the back of a liquor store, where Jeff and Malachi sample al pastor breakfast burritos, chilaquiles, and their first tacos of the day. Next, they head to El Jarocho, which brings its Veracruz style seafood specialties like Baja Fish Tacos and a gargantuan seafood cocktail to Ventura. After that, they head to Lalo’s for a bunch of classic tacos, as well as some off cuts, before wrapping the day out at Tepatitlan where birria, nachos, and mole burritos are on the menu.

Damn where’s our boy Francisco Gómez
Thanks for making this cool video. Suddenly I have a reason to go to Ventura and make the drive from Santa Clarita. Previously it was just to watch the waves. Or take one of my cats to a vet specialist.❤
It’s so interesting to hear the different accents
I’m Mexican but living in Florida
I can def tell the Cali accents
It’s so cool
surfboard table🤣 doesn’t get more socal than that love it
Love this fucken video You guys killed it Finally some luv too The 805
love the tacos from my home county. love from the 805❤
Real Ventura natives know Lalos is THE spot for Mexican.
Nah man lalos isnt that good.
You Evil Hard Hearted Harbingers of Mexican Haggis! Fantastic but seriously cannot you ate that much food! Nicely done
Nothing new !? 😂😂everyone been doing this since 2016
I love seeing true Southern Californians.
La Avenida!!!!
It all looked fantastic but there is noway they ate all of it and it’s a shame it get’s tossed well I don’t know for sure
The people in Ventura and Oxnard think they know great food but they don’t – they are clueless on tacos. If Leo’s Taco Truck or Tacos el Gordo or Tacos La Frontera any of those would destroy all these mediocre taco spots around here. I’m surprised Taco de Mexico didn’t show on this list, a lot of people in Oxnard rave about – it’s not all that. Nothing comes close to LA spots around here. There are very few gems in Ventura County. Here are some gems Tacos El Diablo and Panaderia Herrera at 2pm (bread comes out hot) Mondays thru thursdays are gems. Back Bench Pizza for the NY pizza lovers on Ventura Main St and La Huerta Juice Bar in El Rio are gems. Chinese food in Ventura sucks too – forget about it; people say Peking but their Orange chicken sucks. No Chinese food spots here. Santa Barbara has a decent spot for Orange Chicken called Mandarin Palace upper state on 5 Points.
Blah blah blah.
I think I’m gonna move to Ventura lol 😂 all that food looked so good
Good food, the hosts had zero charisma. Where’s Paco?
Damn ur a str8 no sabo😂
Why that guy pretending not to know any of that food lol !!!?🤦🏻♂️
Lalos was toe drug hub back on the day lol change alot
Angie’s is my go-to spot. Hopefully they can gain some more business from this video! Better speak some Spanish if you plan on going!
belzer lol
Ventura sucks! Don’t come.
Omg I totally just got so excited!!! This is my town!!!! Omg yay!!!! Best place to be and the best people! Art, culture, beach, and so much more!!! 805 is thee best!! Surfers point is where I taught my 9 year old to surfer since he was 5 and we go every weekend – omg so happy that they are in Ventura the 805!
From Ventura this place is okay , lalos is horrible, there’s better places in Oxnard for tacos
I may have to drive 15 min after work to grab some grub now.😂
Is it better than the tacos at the Red Barn in Oak View? That place is amazing
