Burrito Express
230 South Ventura Road
Oxnard CA
(805) 385-9700
Burrito Express in Oxnard is one of those places that is successful because it does what it does well. They make Mexican food in a traditional fashion with a nod to local tastes. They support local youth groups and teams, as evidenced by all the "Thank You," plaques around the dining area. It's a family run restaurant, and they'll happily talk about the teams their kids are on and the local school that they attend. Tiles in the dining room were made by local school children.
But above all, the food is good.

On a recent visit, I had a ceviche tostada and a asada taco, along with an Orange Whip. The tacos are larger than the standard street taco, something to remember when ordering. The ceviche was fresh, with a side of chips, and the Orange Whip was all you can drink from the self serve fountain. There is a soda fountain, too, and some Jarritos and Mexican Coke in bottles. No beer or other spirits, which is fitting for the family style atmosphere they have.
Burritos are large and filling, a larger variety of tacos are made, tortas, and other specialties fill out the menu and menudo on the weekends, all served quickly. There's a large dining room (they took over the space that was once occupied by a Quiznos), which is always clean, a fresh salsa bar, and it looks like they are preparing a salad bar section and ice cream as well.
My ceviche and taco meal with a drink and chips came in at under $8, and was certainly filling.
