While we're celebrating our confluence here -- I can recall finding one bad (quite boring) Mexican restaurant in Ventura a couple years-plus ago. Promoted itself as a Baja style place, parked a VW dunebuggy with a couple shortboard surfboards on top as advertisement in the parking lot.

Used a microwave oven and ho-hum recipes that tasted like lunchroom food, lasted maybe eight months.

It's been replaced by a family-owned operation named El Burrito Alegre, which is very much better and has hung in there. They weren't able to move their chili-spiked chocolate brownies, which is a pity, because I liked the things. Thought they'd go well with some Starbucks from across the way.

Bad Mex doesn't dare crop up among the eateries here.
