Highly recommend this place.
I got a mixed plate so I could try a little bit of everything—and it was all so good . The mole had just a tiny kick ️, the beans were perfect , and the avocado was exactly how I like it—not too many onions, just right and nice and limey .
The meat was super tender, and the flavors and sauces brought everything together beautifully .
Absolutely hit the spot. Can’t wait to come back!
We went for breakfast, and one of the main reasons we chose this restaurant was to try the café de olla. My girlfriend had talked it up as incredible traditional Mexican coffee that I had to experience. We were told they were out of it. That set the tone early, especially when it was one of the items that drew us in.
The setup is counter service. You wait in line, place your order, receive a lotería card, then find your own table. Food is brought out when ready, but there is no follow up once it hits the table.
There was confusion while ordering. My girlfriend initially ordered chicken enchiladas with green sauce and was told they were unavailable. She switched to shrimp enchiladas with red sauce, and also ordered tacos al gobernador and a margarita. I ordered the birria plate and a Mexican Coke. The total already felt steep for what we ordered.
While waiting for drinks, I went to get water and was told it was in a metal pitcher by the wall. There were no cups. When I asked for cups, I was directed to the back of the ordering line. It took roughly 15 minutes just to get two glasses of water. The salsa bar was also poorly maintained. Several salsas were empty and never refilled while we were there. I asked for small dishes so we could at least use what was available and was told they would bring some out, but they never did.
When the food arrived, they brought both enchilada plates, including the one they had said was unavailable. We had been charged for both. My girlfriend ended up with three full dishes plus my plate. It felt disorganized and poorly managed.
Her margarita was a 2 out of 5 and the weakest one we had during the trip. My birria was decent but not memorable. It tasted similar to what I can get from a taco truck back home.
A serious concern for me was that the birria plate included avocado even though it was not listed in the description. I am highly allergic to avocado. If it had been disclosed, I would have asked for it to be removed. Including a common allergen without listing it on the menu is a significant oversight.
To finish, we asked three times for a to go box and never received one. Eventually, we gave up and left.
The menu and photos look fantastic. The food itself was acceptable. But between running out of featured items, confusion at ordering, lack of restocking, allergy issues, and overall disorganization, the experience was frustrating from start to finish. Based on this visit, I cannot recommend it. Santa Barbara has better options for Mexican food that likely deliver a smoother and more attentive experience.
