Monarcas Meat Market

We decided to stop here on a Sunday after church for lunch, and they did not disappoint! We were so hungry, and ready to eat there was no time to take pictures. My husband got a chicken quesadilla amounting in about $ 6– which was huge and delicious. I ordered the tri-​tip burrito around $ 8 which was also huge and also delicious to go. They ask if you would also like chips and salsa which tasted homemade, and were also very satisfying. There was no one else in there so I couldn’t comment on the service of being busy or not. But if you’re looking for a great authentic meal or just a burrito this place won’t let you down.

Very dissatisfied with their services, long line and these employees here don’t care. The employees said they only serve partial breakfast not 24 hours like Mcdonald Corporation is advertising it all over the news and Internet. I told the employees about it and even told them I will report it to corporate, they laughed and told me to go ahead. They don’t seem to care.
My family and I eat at tis restaurant often, I guess I need to take my business somewhere else cause these guys don’t have any customer service connection. I was just a number from their statistic.
This review is meant for McDonald fast food.

Best damn place in all of Oxnard no joke family own nice respectful employees… burritos and tacos and asada fry. Are to die for no joke… Ernie and Fernando and Mario really nice to every 1 they come across

This place is bomb! Love going there for lunch and taking home stuff to make for dinner.

I’ve been looking for a market with good quality carne asada since I moved to Oxnard. I thought it would be an easy task, but it took me 3 years to find it. I saw this place today and went in on a whim. I am so glad I did! The carne asada was AMAZING. I will be back again and again. Thank you so much!!!

My husband and I love this place. Hands down the best Mexican food in Oxnard. We have literally been almost everywhere in town and we always compare it to Monarcos. This family owned business is one that we will support for as long as we are here.

I will keep this quite simple I live one block from Four Way Market, as well as a couple more places to get fresh burritos. It is definitely WORTH THE DRIVE. The owner Fernando and workers are very nice. My mom went in with me for the first time and was very impressed with the stores cleanliness. So keep up the good work…

First time coming here after my husband raved about it, and I’m so glad I did! The food is absolutely amazing! I got the birria de res and it was so tasty! Will definatly be coming back.

Love this Place! Burritos and Tacos are always juicy and delicious. Great customer service. I always like buying the meat here. It always looks nice and fresh.

Sorry, but I’m back again to sing praises of this southern Mexican [Mixtec] butcher shop, grocery & lunch counter … i don’t even eat ‘red meat’ but meat counter always has superb 1#+ boned/​skinned chicken breasts & decent [previously-​frozen] shrimp at decent price …
I tell Meat Cutter these chickens of his must have been baddest birds in the valley ~ they’re huge — the sumo wrestlers of the chicken coop, i guess… but great cut for baking [no skin, bone, very little fat and thick]. «Mole?» he asks me today
Yeah, my first shot at it …

This meat market also has a little sectioned-​off area where they sell cooked food — tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and a few specials. You pick the type of meat you want they’re all described on their menu — for your taco/​burrito/​quesadilla, and whether you want it spicy or mild.
Delicious tacos, great price! I love adoabada (pastor) and chile colorado from here. Give it a try. My personal favorite for Mexican food in Ventura County (except for fish tacos, I’d go to Spencer Makenzie’s). They also sell fresh guacamole. They carry basic groceries, and their meat selection looks appealing.

My wife and I love this place. It’s a convenient stop on our way home from work and has everything you need when you don’t want fast food but don’t have time to cook. You’ll often see us here around 6:45 with three girls in the car who are all hungry and need help with one thing our another. Getting home and trying to even throw the quickest of meals together is just not an option. That’s when we stop at Monarcas for a pint of beans and rice, crema (yes, there is a difference between that and sour cream) and fresh salsa. If we don’t already have it at home, we’ll also pick up some tortillas or tostada shells, queso fresco, lettuce, tomato, lemon and our favorite michelada cups, to help deal with the 3 forever yapping little ladies:) The service here has always been very friendly and they even cooked up some meat we bought there once to save us time at home (we didn’t even ask, they offered.) As for the meats, our favorite is the marinated chicken, easily identified by its bright orange color.
Try it or Diet Final Verdict:
Most definitely Try it. But try it before they close at 7pm, which for someone who works late, is the only con here.

I love this little place. The grocery section has everything anyone would need at good prices. They also sell beer and other types of alcohol.
Every time we have a bbq we buy our meats there. They have the most delicious freshest meat. Best meat around compared to many other places. The prices are great. Not overpriced at all. They can season your meats if you ask them to.
My favorite part is the section where they serve food. They have the best pastor I have ever had! No lie! Their tortas are bomb! Also their burritos are really big and delicious. They have two sizes for tacos small and big. The big ones are really big with generous portions of meat! They also serve chips if you eat there. They have three different kinds of salsas from mild to really hot.
They always have good service no matter how busy they are. They are friendly and nice.

Wow! This place makes a great burrito. I always get the carnitas one and it is good every time. They are pretty big and I never can eat the whole thing so I always have another meal to look for ward to. $ 6 and you have great food. Almost forgot, their salsa bar is excellent!

This is one of my favorite hole in the wall Mexican restaurants. They are located inside Monarcas Meat Market. They have everything from tacos to tortas and then some.
The lines here are always short and quick no matter the time of day. There is a fresh salsa bar and the owners wife makes her fresh pico de gallo, chile and guacamole regularly. Everything is kept in a fridge with the date it was made. I’ve been many times just to pick up salsa!
I often stop on my way home just to pick up a large order of rice and beans to add to my dinner.
Food is affordable, averaging about $ 6 per person and is served cafeteria style nice and quick.
While picking up a quick dinner you can pick up produce, meat or beer in the market.
All in all, this place is great. Staff is super helpful and the food is like grandma used to make. Highly recommend!

The food is good, prepared fast, reasonable prices. They sell their own salsas and guacamole and sour cream, those are great!

I came here as I was getting my car washed next door and didn’t want to just sit and wait. They have a nice selection of goods in the aisles and a pretty decent looking meat selection. I didn’t come with the intention of eating but I saw their menu and thought I couldn’t pass up two tacos at $ 1.29(ish) each. You can see them cooking up the meat and not a few minutes later I had a pollo and carne asada taco, as well as some chips. They were good, don’t get me wrong, but they weren’t the simple street tacos I was expecting. I think it may be the salsa they use on top. Either way, their burritos looked really good and I’d probably give them another try.

Having a BBQ this weekend??? Make sure to pick up your pollo Asada, carne Asada from here… Super low prices and deliciously marinated meats!!! Yum

Absolutely HORRIBLE!!! Though the prices are reasonable it’s not worth a freakin’ penny!
First of all it’s a small dusty looking market with not a lot of variety to choose from, and secondly it smells horrid in there and the food looks like it’s been sitting there all day. I did like that I got to see my food get cooked. I ordered the Asada, but it honestly wasn’t fresh and I’m surprised I held it down. Clean it up guys.

Oooh yeah if you want an awesome and easy dinner all you need is their marinated meat or chicken! Prices are very reasonable and for just $ 0.30 more they will turn the ordinary meat to the most amazingly tasty meal! If you have a tabletop propane grill to cook it up that’s all it takes to make your dinner.
