I like the fish and chips mostly the fish part, their sweet chili sauce is good, that’s my positive note. Now, I said no cilantro 3 times, they gave me a cilantro burrito, not much else, no salsa in it, no onions, flavor less, just a heap of cilantro, I had to do surgery for 10 minutes to remove them. I’m not happy, I made sure the girl taking my order understood me, I was polite and clear, but I guess someone didn’t or did it on purpose.

Been coming here for years, didn’t realize I haven’t reviewed them yet.
Best fish tacos! Love to grab them and walk the bridge over the freeway and enjoy lunch on the pier.
They have indoor and outdoor seating available.
Service is always fast and friendly.

We had fish tacos and beer. Really enjoyed the sauce and the addition of bell peppers and the 3 kinds of hot sauces. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Ventura and a great experience!

Let’s go over a Few things.
SEATING:
There’s seating inside, outside and Bar side.
The outside Order window is basically if you order outside. Inside is forest cone first serve seating and they’ll bring you a menu (so don’t wait to be seated etc just walk in and seat yourself). The car is basically the same.
STAFF:
Staff here seems to have fun and iS super friendly and on top of making sure your drinks are filled and bringing you food if you order more.
You can see them talking and having fun while working which in turn makes them happy to be here and has them treating you better.
FOOD:
The World Famous Fish Tacos is what I had. 1 regular and 1 Brooklyn style.
Both where good it honestly just counts but go with Brooklyn style for a bit more kick.
Each taco is on a 7 inch flour tortilla. So they’re not small.
I’ll definitely stop in again when in the area.

If it wasn’t called the best fish taco, this would be a 4 star because my expectations were very high and I was highly disappointed in the end. Ordered one fried fish, one grilled fish taco and one tuna. The presentation is very subpar with very little color that pops and had even a ginormous chunk of slaw that I had to remove. As far as flavor the grilled one was a bit fishy but the biggest problem is all the sauce is at the bottom instead of being spread out. And raw bell peppers don’t really add any flavor. Wish those were grilled at least and seem like an after thought. The tuna was decent with the sauce being the star. Didn’t know what Brooklyn style was but it was a spicy sweet chili sauce. The one pro is that the tacos are on the bigger side but couple of the tortillas were over crisped for my liking

Quote from my son: “the only seafood chowder I’ve ever had that beats this clam chowder bread bowl is back home in Maryland and it was crab chowder.”
The fish, calamari, & carne asada tacos were excellent but I would concur with my boy that the clam chowder is a must try!

They go a long way with their history and reputation. Ventura is a hotbed of fish tacos. And Spencer Makenzie’s has gained notoriety for their fish tacos.
Is it the best in Ventura? Some would say yes. Others would say they have competition. Nonetheless the fish tacos are good. Really good. And if you’re on the fish tacos trail it’s worthy of a stop.
Was quite impressed with their fish taco.
Was not so impressed with the Tuna version of the fish taco.
Not sure why clam chowder is on the menu, but it was met with delight.
Street tacos were solid. Veggie tacos as well.
Great staff with a good attitude and upbeat energy.

Cool local spot for fish tacos and whatnot. Solid food, local beer, nice peeps, chill Vta vibes.
The play is to park at Transmission Brewery on Front St., have a beer on tap, then walk 3 blocks to Spencer Makenzie’s. Trust me on this. You’re welcome.

These are some damn good fish tacos, and perfect after a surfing session, which is how I first found this spot in Ventura after being recommended it by a local.
The ahi tacos are great. So good I went back for a second atime and crushed a bread bowl, which absolutely slapped.
Outdoor seating is a plus. Can be a bit crowded though, but the line moves damn fast.
