Seafood Free Restaurants in Ventura

MOTHERS is a modern Mexican brand inspired by a 2017 trip to Mexico City and our own family’s heritage. Founded by a Japanese American restaurateur who married into a family with CDMX roots, MOTHERS honors the women who actually built the culture and inspire us every day—our moms, tias, abuelas. We express this through creative food, thoughtful drinks, and inclusive hospitality. We're now a family with two young kids, ages 5 and 3, and we built MOTHERS so they could see a part of their culture celebrated. Helmed by Chef Felipe Cuevas, Mothers Tacos serves authentic Mexico City tacos, made with “amor de madre”, in a typical Mexican market taquería setting.
