Sometimes it's the little places that score big!

Esquire Magazine recently named Mrs. Olson's Coffee Hut in Oxnard as one of the best breakfast places in the United States. That's quite an honor for this small local establishment, but no surprise to those of us who've been there. Locals love it. It's packed every weekend, with a line out the door. But with the beach at the end of the block, people don't seem to mind the wait.

What's your favorite dish at Mrs. Olson's? Do you have another favorite breakfast place in Oxnard? Share what tickles your taste buds with other readers by submitting a comment below.

I never had Brazilian food before, but I'd been reading a lot of great reviews about the new restaurant at Channel Islands Harbor, Moqueca Brazilian Cuisine. So when a business associate invited me for lunch (her treat!), I jumped at the chance. We shared the Moqueca de Camarao (jumbo shrimp moqueca). The dish came sizzling in a "moqueca" (clay pot) with rice on the side. The flavor of the sauce was unlike anything I'd never taste before, and the shrimps were cooked to perfection. It was absolutely delicious, and I would definitely recommend it.

Do you have a favorite Oxnard restaurant you would recommend?
