Reviews
“ This is the only place for carnitas en Oxnard --yes this is the best place to eat carnitas with hand made tortillas . I believe the just opened another location in Ventura, go try it out you will be very pleased. ”

“ After getting new tires at the pep boys down the street I needed food. As I sat in the lobby I came across Carnitas El Rey and I'm so happy I did. They've earned those stars and reviews. First off the burrito was huge they aren't stingy. The main attraction the Carnitas was supper tender with every bite, no pulling the meat out with every bite. The chili was a perfect amount of heat. The service was pretty fast and super easy. They have a pretty simple menu to choose from. The ambiance was chill for this hot day, great music playing, super clean and I appreciate the murals on the wall. All in all, now I'm craving their burrito after all this ”

“ I really liked the carnitas here!! They ran out of skin for the mixed carnitas, but the meat alone was surprisingly tender and still juicy. It's definitely better than any carnitas I've had in the Bay Area. They also LOAD the taco up with meat. I came in thinking that this was really pricey for two tacos, but these are way bigger than your average street taco. I can usually eat 12 street tacos, but 2 tacos here got me moderately full. Compared to Carnitas El Momo, it was slightly more bland. However, paired with the salsa, I didn't have much issues. I definitely suggest salting a bit more though. The staff was friendly. I'll definitely come back! ”

“ Best carnitas in town definitely!!! Whenever I'm in the mood for carnitas, El Rey is the first place that comes to mind ! ”

“ I've been coming to this place since they first open. I've tried other places, but I like this one the best. Inflation has cause prices to go up but it is still worth the value. Carnitas are tasty, costillas are also available upon request. The staff is always friendly and place is well kept. Definite a place worth trying. ”
