Ventura Restaurant Guide & Dining Reviews
Featured Review
I have been dining at Joannafina's since the late 1990's. They are consistnet, you are guaranteed the food will taste the same (delicious) every time. It is the place to go for tamales and Sunday brunch - the posole is the best! The owners are delightful! The "Trio" on Sundays is energetic! Lovely!
