Authentic Mexican food!
Somis Market is the best Mexican food in Ventura County. People swarm the place from miles around every weekday at lunch; you'll see businessmen in coat and tie standing in line with local farmers in boots and hat.
This is authentic Mexican food, with no fancy presentation. The market itself is a real local convenience store, grafted onto a small kitchen and space for 8 tables. You stand in line to order, and then pick up a soda from the cooler before finding any table that's available.
I recommend the crunchy tacos, any of the great burritos (the Colorado and chile verde are particularly good) and the chimichanga, which is a deep-fried burrito with your choice of meat inside and sour cream, cheese and tomatoes on top. It's all excellent.
Get there earlier, rather than later, as this is a small-town establishment and they don't keep late hours.
