Spencer Makenzies in Camarillo

This was my first time eating here. Our waiter was very friendly and explained the menu to us. On Friday, My wife & I go out for a happy hour. Not a place for Happy Hour. There is no protein-based food on the happy hour menu. I ordered the fish and shrimp burrito. It was very fresh and flavorful. She contains fried chicken strips and french fries. That killed the dining experience. It was overcooked, and the fries were OK. I base my rating on the first impression of this spot. I will give it another chance someday.

It all starts with service and when you are greeted warmly and made to feel like part of the family you know you are going to have a great dinner. Fish tacos, Shrimp tacos and Shrimp and Fish Burrito were all outstanding and the three different hot sauces had my fam all debating which one was best. I kept it simple with fish and chips and wasn’t disappointed. We also enjoyed trying a couple local craft beers and the waitresses did a great job matching our palates. All in all my only question is… when you all coming to Phoenix. :)

I highly recommend trying the food here. The atmosphere is good.However, there are issues when it comes to service. Some days are better than others, depending on how busy the place gets. The team on service becomes disorganized when there are too many customers at once.Twice Ive been at Spencers during diner service to get food and twice Ive been forgotten after Ive placed my order. Both times, my food was waiting on the table and the service team never bothered to check for me, nor did they ever call out my name to look for me when the food was ready.I was there at their take-out bench waiting. Each time, the team took about 30 minutes before the team noticed their mistake. My food had already been prepared and forgotten on the island table at the center of their bar. Both times, they sent me off without acknowledging the mistake. There wont be a third time for me, wont be going back for take-out anymore.On the other hand, if you are visiting this place during their slower hours and is dining in; you may get one of the best food experience in town. The food at Spencers is delicious.

Nice place for hanging out and getting fish tacos. We had their tempura battered fish taco and also the seared ahi tuna fish taco. I really like the big portion but not sure one taco matches the price of $7.60.The tempura battered taco was my favorite and not greasy. Both had cabbage and some creamy sauce and the tempura fish came with lime. The ahi taco had a spicy sweet chili sauce kick to it. I definitely needed the cabbage on that one.I would come here on Happy Hour if I lived closer, but I don’t lol.

Good tasting fish tacos but they are a little pricey. About 9 dollars for one fish taco. They have 3 amazing sauces to go with your taco. The habanero one was my favorite.

Ive gotten takeout for lunch before, and it was decent. This time I decided to stop by after work for dinner and I was disappointed by the dine in experience. The flavor profile of the food was pretty bland and basic. Dont get me wrong it wasnt terrible( except the fries) it just lacked flavor. The fries were hollow and over cooked, you can tell by the picture. After being greeted by the host, we were sat with some menus, but it took 15 minutes for a server to come up and take our order. Since it was taco, Tuesday, we tried out the Asada tacos, it was meh, nothing too impressive but not a bad deal for the price. We also ordered two Pacifico pints and for whatever reason they did not charge us the three dollar pint that was advertised. Not a huge deal but annoying. The saving grace was definitely the sauces that they offer, they are all pretty flavorful, but any bite without the sauce is bland. Its not a bad spot for takeout during the lunch break, but I definitely wouldnt recommend it to dining. Everybody else that was seated after us was approached promptly and have their order taken. It seems like we were the only table that was bypassed. People were already halfway through their meal when we were barely about to put in our order. Not sure if they forgot about us or what.

Very kind staff and great food! The burrito and fish tacos were very good, and the outdoor seating has heaters so it doesnt get too chilly. A great, casual place.

I really want to give this place 5 stars across the board but I just can’t. I come here with my family once every couple of weeks because they love the food. We usually dine in and we are greeted at the front and we are told to take a seat anywhere however, the empty tables are usually still dirty from previous customers. When we do finally locate a clean table we are given menus and sometimes our order is taken in a timely manner.Once our food is brought to our table that’s where the staff interaction with us stops as they no longer tend to our table for the rest of our dining experience (happens every visit). The staff is often chatting with each other or not looking up and we usually have to go to the register to ask for refills etc. and they never ask if we need anything.When we are finished with our meal again, we have to go up to the register to ask for our check because they never come back to our table.We have been coming here for the past year and the food is great but we are hoping that our dine in experience will one day improve.

Had a to go ahi taco and it was an awesome lunch. The fish was prep perfect. The way the fish tasted its not the usual kinda fish that had that smell in it. The texture was like chicken meat. I didnt even ask for any sauce but it was still delicious. It had a bit sauce in it with zing taste. All in all two thumbs up as always.

I loved that it has a sports bar vibe, they have two large screens outside to watch sports. Really cute patio. The ambiance was actually not bad with the music at night.Speaking of the food, we opted for a grilled salmon salad (came w two dressings) and a fish and shrimp burrito (w hot sauces) to share. Salmon salad was good, even though they almost forgot to give us the salmon, but luckily, they remembered that at the end. The sauces for both the salad and burrito were delish, which really added flavors to both dishes. The issue I had was also the sauces, I felt like I needed to constantly use lots of sauces, especially the burrito, otherwise it would be pretty flavorless. Another thing annoying me was the incorrect business hours, Yelp shows they close at 8:30, while they told us they close at 8:00 on Sundays.Cons:No COVID safety protocols. The staff just didnt care to wear their masks properly I guess.Overall, average food and def on the pricey side. The experience wasnt great. Most staff seemed a bit absent-minded since it was close to closing time. The sauces were good though.
