Food Worth Eating

Greetings y'all,
After reading Fast Food Nation, I have changed my eating habits...that's no surprise, and it hasn't been all that difficult to do.  So what do I do when hunger strikes and I don't feel like an "eColi burger, with a side of the runs?"...I eat in one of the various, sit down and get waited on restaurants that populate the Ventura County area.  One of these is a little place called "Tortuga's Cafe."
Located in the Centennial Plaza, behind the movie theater,on the corner of 5th and B St. in Oxnard is a wonderfully delicious, and very nutritious, family run business.  Shelly and Steve, owners of Tortuga's, and their children, greet you as you enter a very spacious, yet warm diner.  Don't feel like being cooped up, well then, sit outside and grab a little sun on Tortuga's patio. 
Tortuga's is a little eclectic in its decor, as well as its menu.  Decorated as a pirates lair, it's easy to get into the mood for good food.  With everything from soups and salads, to veggie, or garden burgers, chicken strips, and hot wings, to tri-tip sandwiches, it's not hard to satisfy anybody with their menu selection.  The food is just a small part of the reasons to support this business.  Shelly and Steve believe in supporting their community and often help local school groups with various fund raising events.  Oxnard Colleges very own Addictive Disorder Studies Club, the ADS-PLC has had several successful fundraisers over the semester. 
The food has a Caribbean flavor to it, so some of the sandwiches and salads reflect that in the wonderful spices and herbs used, providing that "bite" that keeps you coming back for more.
My favorite on the menu is the Spicy Chicken sandwich, onion rings and chocolate shake....mmmm, mmmm, good!!!  While providing a nutritious, and delicious meal, Tortuga's is cost friendly...most complete meals are under $8.00 per person...need an additional incentive???...buy a combo meal, and you can get movie tickets for just $6.99 per person....a savings of $3.00 for you movie buffs.
So the next time you want more than just a place to stuff your face, without cleaning out your wallet, or your intestines, give Tortuga's a try....you will not be dissapointed....just tell them "Cuervo sent me!!!".....and enjoy your meal.
