Olas de Carlos Surf Grill

Asada wasn't as "asada-y (couldv'e had more depth of flavors, more marinade?) But well cheesed and a great beverage selection! Wonderful service, fun sitting outside looking in at surf decor collection. Chips, salsas, chile colorado, and humor was great. Will happily return.

Carlos and his team make the best food and the place decorated in surf nostalgia....

This place still has the best memories to offer, hasn't changed its cuisine in more than 20 years. Feels wonderful to come back to visit. Greetings from Germany!

Amazing place! Stopped here on our way to Palm Springs. We loved the enchiladas and quesadilla. The chips are nice and fresh as well and the salad was really good. We love the vibe since there are all of these cool, signed surf posters and boards. We will definitely be coming back again!!!

I've been stopping here for over 20 years. Food has always been consistently delicious. I have eaten Mex food all over California, this place is the best, and my favorite! Cool surf posters and photos to look at too. Love this place.

Best and most reasonable Mexican food hands down!!! Everything here is delicious! We come here at least once a week! My kids love the wet burritos. This is a must try place! 😊 my wife and I usually get the number 5 combo, enchiladas and chili Arellano plate!

Simple, great burritos without rice filler. Just a 3" x 9" roll of meat and onions. Love the surf shack vibe. Awesome!

Such nice owners and terrific food!

Best burritos in Camarillo and there are many great burrito spots in Cam

The food was amazing and big portions. The owner was really friendly! Great place overall!

Best crunchy beef tacos in Camarillo. They have an excellent chicken taco salad that will feed two people. My favorite dish though is two ground beef enchiladas all cart. I’ve tried 12 other Mexican. Restaurants in town and this is absolutely one of my favorite.

Stopped by this place after reading some reviews and was not disappointed. If you are looking a good So Cal taco shop, you have found it here. And YES their fish tacos are awesome! We tried the burritos and fish tacos, yummy 😋. Loved the surfer theme, the service is amazing and the beer is cold. If you are in the area you gotta give this a try!

Best salsa and burrito I’ve had in a while! Definitely stopping by again for their burritos. 🌯

Great food and great people. A must stop when visiting my wife's family in ventura County.

This Mom & Pop shop serves up the kind grind! Whether you need to fill up after a long morning session or just craving a fresh and tasty lunch or dinner, this laid-back spot is guaranteed to satisfy! The Cali burrito is such a treat! There's no need to go to San Diego because it's served up right here! Ask to add some beans to really make it hearty. The freshly made whole beans are suavisimo! The guacamole is AMAZING! Fresh and locally sourced avocados kick it up to the next level! This spot has been around for many years! Run by an experienced husband and wife team, they serve up tasty Mexican cuisine that's SO GOOD! Ride the wave into Ola's! (Chef's kiss!!!)

Very nice local Mexican restaurant that I've been going to since I was a kid. Always a reliable place with tasty Burritos! The restaurant has a "surfer" ambience to it with surfboards hanging from the ceiling, pictures of surfers and a few TV's throughout that often show different surfing clips. Everything I've gotten from here has been very tasty, but I especially like the wet burritos. The portion size is very generous and generally lasts me for two meals and you also get complimentary chips with your order. Overall a great local Mexican restaurant worth checking out.

I really enjoyed this spot for thier taquitos and crispy tacos, salsa was amazing too. We will definitely come back. The staff was super friendly. If your looking for a crispy taco spot, this is it. My favorite so for in Ventura County hands down. So if your in the area be sure to stop in and enjoy the delicious salsa ( my fav)

Great spot with great food. Reminds me of good home style fresh cooked food. Carlos and his family are awesome. My family and I been coming here for years now. Cool surf vibes & decor memorabilia all though out the restaurant. Large selection of Mexican food options and drinks. I definitely recommend stopping in if you’re hungry and are wanting some great Mexican food for great prices. The ground beef chimichanga is my personal favorite and the shrimp tacos. Carne asada quesadillas are bomb here and the guacamole is some of the best around. Great green tomatillo salsa too, 10/10.

Always 5 stars of Awesome! Food is always authentically great! Not a chain, a locally owned surf grill with a great selection and reasonable prices. Great for the whole family. As a local, I stop in to pick up to go orders, but I've also dined in as well, the atmosphere is all surfing and fun. Updating 4/4/22- Always killin it! sooo good! had to go home and knock out on a Olas Coma! Everything they make is sooo good. Look at that burrito!!! even distribution of goodies throughout! who does that? OLAS!!! When you're hungry or have straight up munchies this is the place. Your mouth will thank you and me for sending you here. The only MexiCAN 🌮🌯 food in town to devour. Also great value for your money but no skimping on quality or size! Mondo Burrito!

A wonderful little restaurant with owners Carlos & Michelle taking orders and serving delicious Mexican food. Always a treat to stop for lunch or dinner! Walls are covered with surf memorabilia many of which are signed by famous surfers!

A gold staple of Camarillo. Local family owned. California surf vibe. The food is consistently good with very generous portions. My favorites are the sopes and the california burrito. The sopes are filling (2 is plenty) and you can have any kind of meat. I have had some sad California burritos in my life with soggy fries and a sliver of avocado. Not so here. It is often filled with avocado and crunchy fries. So good!

A fantastic local surfer- theme place with awesome Mexican food. Made special by the owners Carlos and Michelle (Huntington Beach natives). The walls are covered with nice surfing pics

Excellent food! The portions remain large. When splitting they give you your own plate with all toppings just for you. Have been loving the food here for 20 years!

I love going to Ola's. It has become my go-to place. The food is excellent, the service is great, and the general ambiance very pleasing. The only criticism is the noise level is kind of high for my liking. Lots of TV and music racket. Not somewhere to go to have a conversation. But I love it. The owner Carlos is a terrific guy; very friendly and welcoming.

We stumbled upon this place out on a drive one day and it was so good we now make special trip there. The plates are hugely portioned with plenty of leftovers or enough to share. The food has fresh ingredients and very flavorful. Definitely recommend Olas!

Very great place to sit down and take a bite. I got the carne asada burrito and that puppy is huge. Definitely worth the money in every way. Surfing atmosphere with some really nice workers.

Great food served by a great family. I pop in there at lunch have 2 ground beef tacos lettuce on the side and I’m full for hours!! They don’t skimp on ingredients either!!

One of my local lunch time favorites. They never hold back, generous portions, must come with big appetite.

Food is absolutely amazing!!! But the place needs deep cleaning, from the bathroom to the stuff on the walls … I suggest eat outside so your eyes don’t see the dusty stuff around you. It’s too bad… cz I also liked the music they played!!! Suggestion to management: Stay late couple of days and invest on gloves and cleaning spray and Viola!!! You’ll love how nice it’s gonna look! 🧡

Huge portions! Good food and fun atmosphere. My wife and I usually share a wet burrito and we're both stuffed. Good cost effective meal. The place just feels like it's dirty, probably because it's an old building but food has always been reliable and I always bring friends here who've never been here, not to mention I live about a minute walk from here.

Very generous portions. Interesting and unique ambiance (surfboards and skateboards hanging from the ceiling). Staff / owners? seemed to have a warm relationship with a few customers. Would definitely eat here again. Appeared to be a family spot.

The burrito was huge. The fries took up a larger percentage of the burrito than I'd prefer but it was still extremely tasty, but filling. I could only eat half. I wish the salsa was a lot hotter, but I'd still go back.

Owner was friendly and personable. Great discussions about food and future dishes that he may put on the menu. Customer Servie and food was good.

Good food, but not amazing. It delt like the employees were upset that there were people to serve.

It may be the dish I ordered, but the chimichanga and a potato taco was a lot of food. Recommending adding salsa to the potato taco. The chimichanga was good, but since it's a fried burrito, it does get greasy. I loved how they did not hold back on the toppings.

Very rough, quasi cool interior, but plainly dirty, especially the kitchen - hasn't been throughoughly cleaned or dusted (walls and doorways) in years. Run down. Ordered Carnitas Chili Verde. Nicely deep fried, very large, because they put rice and beans inside, even though presented as "side" dishes. Apparently forgot to add the green chilli sauce! Goodish but very bland and almost flavorless. Meat, what there was of it, was well cleaned- not fatty or grisley- pork bland. $17, a hefty price for large but lightweight meat burrito. Extra $$ for chips and salsa. Clerk/cashier/?owner kept rolling his eyes and making comments and gestures derogatory of my companions. There's gotta be a better Mexican Food in Camarillo

Overall, if you are looking for authentic "Mexican favorites," that this restaurant advertises, then avoid. If you care more about ambience and a quick bite before hitting the outlet, then it may be the place for you. Atmosphere and decor was pretty cool, and the gentleman at the register was honest. He overcharged and then later gave us back the money that he owed us. For their price point, the food was quite disappointing. I ordered the chicken and carnitas tacos. The chicken was unseasoned and only served with lettuce and what looked like store-bought, pre-shredded cheddar cheese? The carne asada taco had the same, but the meat looked like ground beef instead of grilled steak.

We hadn't been here in years but decided to try it again bc I hear people like it. As soon as I walked it I noticed an unpleasant smell, and very few customers. The place appeared unkept and dirty. There were random carts and tables stacked with boxes and supplies, in the middle of the restaurant. The food was very mediocre. We won't be back. I don't understand all the good reviews.

Update: Food quality & service have dropped out pretty quickly, guessing it's hit and miss on food/service (being served organ meat in a burrito kind of crosses a line). -2 Stars. Original Review: Solid 805. This is California beach food done 805 style through & through; The memories eating here triggered go back to the 90's in San Buenaventura. - Not going to blow your pants off with over the top extras or extreme flavors, just a taste of home for So-Cal locals. Love it.

**BEWARE** if you're disabled with a service animal you are NOT WELCOME inside here. They are putting blame on the health department for this reason. Don't even bother because of the discrimination for us with disabilities. Also if the health department even saw what their bathroom/office/changing room looked like.. I'm sure they would be shaking their heads. They were skimpy on the shrimp that were in the shrimp tacos. Not recommended
