My new favorite place in SB! Amazing authentic beautifully prepared Mexican food. These are some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is gorgeous yet not pretentious. They say you can judge a restaurant by its bathroom and their bathroom is immaculate! I saw some of the breakfast plates and they looked delish too. I heart Corazon Comedor 🙂

I really enjoyed this place! You can instantly tell they use fresh ingredients because every dish looked so colorful and thoughtfully put together. Everything tasted amazing, and you can feel the care that goes into their food. It ended up being one of my favorite spots I tried in Santa Barbara. Definitely worth a visit!

Fast service. Food was good. Coffee drinks were very pretty but not very warm. The mole was a bit sweet. Got there early before a big rush so it is a popular place.

The atmosphere and music was perfect. We ordered Breakfast taco, made with homemade blue corn tortillas, scrambled eggs, and my favorite nopales plus the machaca which was delicious. Sorry didnt take a picture but i did of the Flan.
Highly recommend this place.

I was craving Mexican food so badly and I’m SO happy this place did not disappoint!

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!

I went to have dinner here to celebrate a graduation. We had a reservation for later but they took us early. The atmosphere is very relaxing and inviting. We started with some guacamole and their complimentary chips that were accompanied by a flight of assorted delicious salsas. Our entrees were all very delicious and were served promptly. The staff really topped off the evening by being friendly and helpful. The next time I am in Santa Barbara I will be returning to dine here again.

Would highly recommend this place if you’re craving authentic Mexican food. Finding a place that can make good chilaquiles is always hard to find, but this place knows what they’re doing! Flavors are spot on. The music is great. The salsa is actually spicy. Very friendly service, asking if we had an allergies that needed to be known before serving. Will come again!

This wonderful spot is my favorite Mexican restaurant in S.B. Everything here tastes delicious, is perfectly seasoned and has clean and fresh flavors. The service and ambiance are great as well. If you’re dining in, your meal will start with complementary chips covered in beans, mole and some crumbled cheese, accompanied by 4 different salsas to use on them and your meal. The ceviche and flautas are excellent starters, and you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

I genuinely wanted to love this place. After reviewing the menu and photos online, my girlfriend and I made it a priority stop during our visit to Santa Barbara. She is of Mexican heritage and immediately recognized dishes that felt authentic and representative of her family’s region. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations.

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.

High end Mexican restaurant. Very good. They open up early so that’s the reason we chose this place. So glad we did. They start you off with a small plate of chips dipped in mole and beans. With the chips comes an array of salsas, some I’ve never tried before. Very unique. The food looked like a masterpiece. It was so tasteful. We chose this place because it advertised pozole. Just a note that they don’t serve pozole until lunch. Highly recommend!
