Let's make it fiery instead -- been pluckin' at my memory all night.

There's a joint in Oxnard right next to the train and bus station at the end of Fourth Avenue that can make up a good-sized burrito all the way from mild (and usually a little greasy -- this part of town doesn't do low-fat) to steam-jets-from-both-ears-even-if-you're-Mexican, named La Gloria. It's a multifaceted agglomeration of businesses that's mostly (by area) a grocery, but the second largest bit is a sort of buffet area with the back wall a panaderia with the traditional glass cases, trays and tongs with which you grab your choices of rolls and pastries. The flan there is good, too; only one or two other places in town can beat it.
