BBQ in Ventura

Summer and bbq go together like me and avocado. In other words, they’re best friends. Next time you bbq for the family reunion or a casual lunch, skip the supermarket and hit the local spots for supplies.
Ventura Meat Company. Selling grass-fed meat is what this place is all about. Artificial ingredients? Forget about it. You can find ground beef, NY strip, tri-tip, pork tenderloin, Italian sausages, and much more. Remember to take a gander at the raw honey, organic dairy, and nut butters, too. The Ventura Meat Company never sacrifices quality for quantity.
Santa Cruz Market. Another excellent local option, the Santa Cruz Market offers chicken legs, mild sausage, carne asada, kabob (with spices!), and a whole lot more. But that’s not all–try falafel or schwarma while you’re there! Sandwiches and desserts are also available. This is a truly unique market with more than just meat to its name, so check it out.
Andria’s Seafood. Fry up some fish alongside your burger. For the freshest catch in Ventura, Andria’s has you covered. Located in the Ventura Harbor Village, you will find that the market in this restaurant will put you in the seafood mood. Supplies? Check. If you’re tired of bbq in your own backyard, head to a family-friendly park for your grilling pleasure.#Carne Ranchera in #marinade. Citrus, vinegar, olive oil, #cilantro, garlicky goodness.
