Sea Fresh

3600 Harbor Blvd
Oxnard, CA 93035
(805) 204-0974

A few weeks ago I got a text from a friend saying I should meet up with him for happy hour.
I was at home doing nothing so I made my way over to Sea Fresh (best decision ever)
The one thing Raul said was "this place is legit son"
I loved everything about the place. Raul goes there at least twice a week and has managed to make friends with the staff so they always take care of him.

This time around I took Sarah. We decided to basically share everything that way we can try more dishes



fish and chips



hamburger sliders



look how cheap everything is. happy hour is from 2pm to 7pm



beer......$1.50



nachos



spicy thai turkey sliders with coleslaw



fried fish taco (i thought there was too much cheese though)


jumbo shrimp cocktail



ceviche tostada



calamari



chowder buoy



where all the magic happens

Santa Monica Food Truck

Every Tuesday from 5pm-10pm there is a food truck lot in Santa Monica
Located on the corner of Main St and Ocean Park (2612 Main St 90405)
The truck line up changes every week

Tonight's line up (8/23):
A Rockin Ice
Aunty's Fry Bread
Barbie's Q
Dosa
Greasy Weiner
Hungry Nomad
Lobsta Truck
Me so Hungry
Ta Bom
The Nacho Truck

Some of the trucks take credit cards. It's also a great idea to bring a blanket and picnic outside of the Victoria food court. I prepared for today by not eating breakfast or lunch. Sarah and I came up with a game plan. We checked out the menu of each truck online and wrote down what we wanted. We decided if the serving was big we would just share so that we can try more dishes. Awesome planning on our part. We ended up getting food from 6 trucks.



pulled pork mac & jack from Barbie's Q



Barbie's Q. they had the nicest staff & most efficient system



KTM sliders from Me So Hungry

My CPA friend Candice was nice enough to do my 2010 taxes and when i asked her how much I owed her she told me it was on the house. In return, I promised to treat her to sushi when I got back to the west coast. We decided to hit up the spot where we all used to go all the time. This is where we celebrated birthdays and random occasions. We ended up sitting in the teppan section



nice to see you again

always my beverage of choice when i have sushi

miso soup and house salad

my appetizer: scallop roll

Linda's dragon roll. not sure what kind of fish was on top

the newly engaged couple who sat across from us. they were celebrating their 2 yr anniversary

i got the steak/shrimp combo. this portion was SO SO good


by the time Ivan was done cooking this is all i had left. killed that whole plate


ordered this to go (that's how i roll)


Candice, Moi, Linda (reunited and it feels so good)

We are definitely coming back very soon. I've missed this place. Sitting there for two hours reminded me of all the drunken nights we spent in the sushi area. I once had a 4 hour dinner there with a friend. We did work

La Llama

2655 N Ventura Rd
Port Hueneme, CA
93041-2047(805) 984-1309

I made it my mission to try all the pupuserias around town
This is 2 of 4....



on this visit we decided to only have Salvadoran food....no Mexican






complimentary chips and salsa....that salsa was muy picante



plantains with beans and special sauce. those two mixed together is the perfect dip



cabbage with hot peppers. used as a topping for pupusa






the works....hence the size. next time i need to take a pic of the inside



bistec con arroz y frijoles


Compared to La Carreta (first place i tried) this place was so so. I suppose to helps that they also have Mexican food. The pupusas at LC were far better
