Tacos Jerez

Tacos Jerez sits on the corner of 2 W Pleasant Valley Rd inside the bustling Pleasant Valley Shopping Center, offering a bright slice of Mexican street food to Oxnard locals and visitors alike. The restaurant’s colorful murals and reclaimed‑wood tables create a festive yet relaxed atmosphere, while the open kitchen lets diners watch the sizzle of al pastor pork marinated in pineapple‑infused spices and the slow‑cooked carnitas that melt in the mouth. Signature dishes include al pastor tacos topped with fresh cilantro, diced onion, and a squeeze of lime, as well as shrimp ceviche served in a chilled glass bowl, bursting with citrus and cilantro. Guests also rave about the generous nachos piled high with melted cheese, jalapeños, black beans, and the house‑made salsa that balances smoky chipotle with bright tomato acidity. A creamy horchata and a selection of Mexican sodas round out the menu, all priced between $8 and $15 per plate. Service is quick and friendly; the staff often recommends the “taco trio” for first‑timers. Parking can be tight during peak dinner hours, so arriving early or using nearby street parking is advisable. Open Tuesday through Sunday from 5 pm to midnight (Friday and Saturday until 12 am), the venue is perfect for casual dinners, family gatherings, or small corporate catering events. Whether you’re craving a quick bite or a festive feast, Tacos Jerez delivers authentic flavors, vibrant ambience, and a welcoming vibe that makes every visit feel like a celebration.
