Ending my kid's winter break, I had a little bit of time to spend with them. Took them to Beach House Tacos. My daughter and I only ended up eating. My som chose something different. I ordered a Grilled fish Beach House Taco and my daughter got the Shrimp Baja Tacos. I felt my fish was overcooked and a little too chewy. My daughter loved her tacos! We got them to go and then walked down to the children's play area. You cannot beat the location! We will go back, I will just likely opt to order something different.

We have the Baja tacos. They are delicious, so fresh and the chipotle lime sauce is so good.

Wonderful experience here ! Staff were kind and most importantly the tacos were delicious ! I'll definitely be taking some friends here after surfing ! I tried three tacos and they left me more than full! The first was the Baja shrimp taco and it was super flavorful ! The second was the Ahi and was also flavorful with a seafood twist. The last I had was the potatoe taco that many people recommended and I also enjoyed it but not quite as much as the first two. I'd say my only criticism would be there was a lot of lettuce / cabbage on some of them but that's an easy fix where you just remove what you don't want. Two tacos and eating all the greens would have been enough easily if not post exercise.

I was going to come here and be feisty asking why yall had kept this place a secret from me but now I see Beach House Tacos has 1k reviews so it appears, "I'm the problem it's me" - Taylor Swift. My biggest regret is all of these years passing by this spot and not thinking much of it. I guess with the casual order at the counter vibes and the smell of the tide keeping me at bay I thought this was just an average hole in the wall spot. I can admit when I am wrong and nothing about this spot is average. The ambiance, food and service were way beyond my expectation of this place. This local favorite is a gem and now will be on my regular rotation. It's the perfect casual beachy seafood and taco spot off the pier. The location makes this spot extra special. At the front entrance of the pier it's nice to take a walk and then treat yourself with a meal here. I love their covered outdoor patio on the pier because if you can snag a seat by the high top bar benches you'll get a nice little view of the ocean / beach. People would pay big money for these views at an upscale restaurant but you can get these views with a cheap meal no problem. For this spot you order at the counter and around the side is the pickup window. Regardless if you take the food to go or eat there they'll call your order by your number. As I mentioned over there is covered outdoor seating in their own private outdoor dining area. There are also some non covered picnic tables at the front on the boardwalk if you want to soak up the sun. Staff here seem nice though your interactions with them are limited. The gal who took my order at the front was nice and quick. She was all smiles and while it's a quick exchange she nice. Even when I picked up my order on the side I appreciate that the staff call the numbers loudly and are ready to keep it moving. Prices actually seemed reasonable, especially for the seafood options. A $10 small calamari appetizer wasn't too bad and I thought their three street shrimp tacos for $10 as well were a steal. They loaded the tacos up with baby shrimps so they don't skimp here. My meal was truly A+ for casual beach seafood and tacos. Honestly it was one of the better meals I've had in a while, it's no frills and everything just tasted good and fresh. I loved the calamari. The batter was crispy and well seasoned. Love calamari where they do both the circles/rings and the baby octopus bites. That's my favorite way to have calamari and love that they serve it like that here. The pink seafood sauce for dipping was a match made in heaven. For street tacos I went with the spicy garlic shrimp tacos. Three to an order it's definitely filling but perfect. I was pleasantly surprised at home much shrimp come in the tacos. The tortillas tasted fresh and the sauce on the shrimp had the right amount of kick that I could handle it and enjoy it. Finished the meal with their pineapple Agua Fresca which totally hit the spot. The literal perfect meal. Everything was a 10/10 and I get why there is always a line at this local hole in the wall shack. Don't be like me and wait so long, that's my regret but I'll make up for it by coming back soon with some family and friends. This spot is really good and worth adding to your list.

Was in town for a quick trip and the hostess at Waypoint suggested checking out this taco place as good eats on the pier which was in walking distance of our hotel. Well, she steered us correctly. I had the crispy shrimp taco and kiddo had the potato taco and we both loved them! The tacos are stuffed with items so we only needed one. I had bought a third taco but it was hard to eat cuz we were full. Also ordered chips and guac which was good. The restaurant is on the pier so good place to sit, relax, eat a taco and watch the sun go down!

Beautiful seafood shack on the water - affordable, delicious, and a good date spot. Kind of random, but the napkins were the nicest quality napkins I've seen at a seafood shack. Service was quick and very friendly. We ordered the clam chowder bread bowl and blackened shrimp tacos. Clam chowder was super tasty! Very creamy and nice large chunks of clam. Also, the bread bowl is a great size for how much you get and tasted high quality. These tacos were absolutely enormous and stuffed with shrimp, cabbage, and salsa. I loved the kick and consistency of the salsa - not too runny nor too chunky and went down easy with bites of shrimp. I wish the tacos were separated on two pieces of parchment however, because the salsa did leave a bit of liquid and kinda destroyed the structural integrity of the second taco, which is why 4 stars. The shrimp also tasted great, wasn't overcooked, but I think it'd taste better fried, so I'll try that next time

This is what I expect of a "beach house" style restaurant: rustic, on a pier, outdoor dining and flavorful/straight-forward food. As you can see from my menu pics, they have plenty to choose from. They open at 11:00 am (during the week but not promptly - as we disappointedly learned). The sand views are great on the south side. We placed our order at the window and waited for our order number to be called on the "inside" - the inside the patio fencing. It is all outdoor dining (which was great on the super fine weather day). We shared the Elote Chicken Taco, see my pic. There are 2 tacos in there. What you see is a bunch of flavors. The queso fresco was ample and added a super salty/rich component. The roasted corn had a great pop and counter-balance sweet to the salt of the queso fresco. The chile lime crema was plentiful. As you can also see in my pic the chicken breast cubes - they were moist and a great carrier for the taco toppings. There was more flavor than what I was expecting.

Beach House Tacos offer casual beach dining at the foot of Ventura's pier. Order off the menu, get your number and find a place to relax and enjoy the beach scene. The menu offers a lot of variety on the taco theme, as well as sides and a selection of salsas. They also have a small, but adequate beer selection. Service is quick and efficient, the food tasty!

After a full day out with Island Packer's on Santa Cruz Island in the Channel Islands, we were tired, after a day of hiking, so looking for something very casual and easy we headed to Beach House Tacos on the base of the Ventura Pier. We parked in the parking structure next door, and if you take your ticket with you, Beach House will validate for two hours of parking. We made it to the eatery, decided on our dishes and ordered at the window. After ordering we found a picnic table in their patio area next to a heater as it was a bit chilly. Our food came out quickly and wow we were surprised. When we ordered we chose just one taco each wondering if we should do two. That was quickly answered when we got our food. The tacos are huge. To start we ordered the special elote fries. Oh my goodness, crispy and creamy French fries topped with cotija cheese, roasted corn and a nice spicy aioli. Mr. B had the popcorn shrimp taco filled with tender perfectly fried shrimp and I went with the potato taco. It was filled with tender pieces of potato, topped with chiles and lettuce, both were absolutely delicious. This pier restaurant is one of the best we have had for casual but delicious food. The bonus for Mr. B was a can of Tecate beer for a mere $3 bucks, such a deal. It was the perfect spot for a very casual but scrumptious dinner.

This spot in Ventura is LEGIT. When I'm at the beach, I crave seafood. This spot is right on the pier in Ventura. You place your order at the shack-like window on the outside. Then there's an outdoor dining area with tables where you can sit down and have your food. The ambiance is no frills and is perfect for a casual beach day. We started off with chips and guacamole which was a great starter for our table. At $4.50 it was a perfect price point. I ordered the Early California fish tacos fried. There was a lot going on with this taco... with avocado, corn and all the trimmings. In my picture, you can't even see the fish but it's definitely in there crisped to the right amount. I ordered two of these and was definitely full. It was hard to keep the taco together as I ate it since it was so full of stuff, so keep your napkins handy. For the $7.50 price point, I thought these were well worth it. Some family members at our table ordered the salmon tacos and said those were good too. All in all, this is the type of gem I will keep coming back to. Next on my list to try is the breakfast burrito!
