La Colonia area, Oxnard

I was in Oxnard this morning and strayed off my path into La Colonia (Colonia Rd & Cooper Rd. off Oxnard Blvd) and dang if I wasn't suddenly in....Mexico!!

My heart leapt with delight to see the signs - Nieves! Licuados! Raspados! Carnicerias and Mercados...little restaurants...shops with open fronts...

It was between meals, but I can't wait to go back. Has anyone eaten there?

Many years ago in another lifetime I used to like a little place called El Napolito, just east of Oxnard Blvd on about 6th or 7th St. Don't even know if it is still there.

Palomas on Cooper Rd has great, tasty echiladas! La Central on Meta St is cool bakery, tambien. I was born Colonia...good luck!
