Snapper Jack's Taco Shack Camarillo: Menu, Prices & Hours

Snapper Jack's Taco Shack has been selling fish tacos in Ventura County since 2000. The Camarillo shop is on Santa Rosa Road on the east side of town. We stopped in on a Friday evening to pick up dinner for the family, and photographed the boards while we waited, because the prices move and nobody keeps them written down anywhere.

What it is

It's a counter-service taco shop built around fish. You order at the register, take a number, and help yourself at the salsa bar while you wait. The tacos come on your choice of a soft corn or crispy flour tortilla with lettuce or cabbage, cheese and what the menu calls Secret Shack Sauce, and every taco comes with a handful of chips.

What we got

A grilled steak burrito, picked up for the family's dinner. It was very good. The salsa bar is the part we love.
