spencer makenzie's fish company

short-changed. sadly, i have to agree with ryan about the service - let me tell you about what i saw on the weekend of mar. 26th. i had ordered my fish & chips (their specialty) and stepped aside to wait for my food. the next customer behind me was an asian couple that ordered the same thing and got short-changed $10. he paid with a $100 bill (not a good idea at these little places run by minimum waged cashiers, imo). anyways, i remember this exchange because of how the cashier acted with this guy. she handed him a wad of cash without counting it back to him - with me, she counted the bills in front of me (i paid with a $20 bill). secondly, she walked away as soon as she gave him the money. i saw her go into the kitchen and disappear for a minute while there were other customers in line (quite unusual...). maybe this exchange didn't exactly scream racism but subtlety, there seemed to be some disrespect there. anyways, the cashier put up an argument but since i saw the whole exchange and he never stepped away from the counter, i can honestly say that the cashier intentionally short-changed him. it's sad...but i don't blame the restaurant, they sure do have good fish & chips!

best fish tacos in ventura. you get to sit outside and enjoy the fresh beach air. the service is amazing as well.

this place did not disappoint. the portions were very large. the fish tacos and burritos were exceptional! try the sauces- they all gave additional variety to a great meal.

its a top choice for fish tacos - anyone that goes there for lunch whether its a sunny day or gloomy day at the beach this place will be busy.  if you are planning to eat there plan to wait or jockey for a space however, people eat and go quickly.  one thing they have as well and you can purchase is these great sauces the tropical cayenne pepper blend is very good but i like the sweet chili.

good food and the staff was willing to answer and work around food allergies. total bonus!!

very tasty giant fish taco. perfect balance, loved it brooklyn style.

fresh, quick, cali style seafood. inexpensive for the quality. no frills, but friendly service. definitely get the fish taco and try the chowder.

quick and delicious the gri.... quick and delicious
the grilled shrimp salad is a meal with plenty of shrimp. loved the wontons - like a shrimp version of a crab rangoon. helpful service too

spencer makenzie’s fish company is the kind of place you dream about while watching diners, drive-ins and dives. the little shack’s divey, unassuming exterior may not reveal it, but spencer makenzie’s has some of the freshest and most delicious seafood ever. best part? it’s ridiculously cheap. while pretty much everything on the

great cali experience. great food, great price, cool atmosphere and amazing service. we had chowder, 1 tempura shrimp taco and fish and chps. the food was great and the value was better. give it a try.

the vibe is casual with a dress code of t's and flip flops. the prices are good and there are a couple of tables and seats at the counter with a view of the water.
you can get their world famous fish taco for under $5 and it's a meal. ask for it grilled. good enough to order two! if you go mon-thursday from 3 to 5 you can have them 2 for the cost of one. my preference is without the spencer sauce and substituting fire sauce. or just ask for the sauce on the side. my all time favorite is the ahi taco. folks, this is suchi grade! it is seared just right. both come with a delightful topping of cabbage, red and yellow bell pepper and cilantro. all these veggies are raw.
i eat the salad part first with fire sauce, then the fish in the tortilla to truly enjoy the ahi... with more fire sauce.
this is healthy fast gourmet seafood at it's best. large screen tv on site to watch surfing.
other favorites are the ahi pocket, tuna on fire and the clam chowder.
eat outdoors or inside, tabletop or counter.

the giant fish taco was definitely giant, but with mayo, tortilla, and the greens. very little fish. for 4.99, a little more fish is expected. the place is nice, clean, outside seating is available. maybe i got the "one-in-a-million" fish taco, but i got it.

fish tacos the best. just finished my giant fish taco....wish i would or ordered two. fantastic. a real find. will definatley stop again before i leave town.

great food but a little pricey. the clam chowder is awesome. ahi tuna taco was also very good

never a bad moment. i have eaten here since the opening and have yet to find anything bad to say. i read a couple bad reviews and could'nt believe it. someone was having a bad day. i guess theres some of those in every crowd. needless to say this place rocks. my whole family(including our 7 kids) loves this place. the best fish tacos anywhere(and i've tried them all over). cant go wrong stopping into spencers.
