The salsas with the chips were probably one of the best I've tried at a restaurant! The shrimp in the enchiladas tasted fresh and the green sauce for the enchiladas was something. The red one with the lobster enchiladas, however, reminded us of tomato sauce above anything else and the texture of lobster was quite soggy. The beans also tasted watered down BUT the churros evened out everything. They were a treat! All over a great visit. Our waitress was kind and charismatic and nothing beats the location.
I absolutely loved this beachfront restaurant! The atmosphere is fantastic, and the staff is super friendly. Our server really took the time to understand our preferences and recommended delicious dishes with a Mexican flair. The food was incredibly tasty and flavorful, bringing back memories of Mexico. Don't miss out on their great drinks menu – my margarita was out of this world. We're definitely planning to come back tomorrow!
This place is awesome! My wife and I were on a walk with our infant son and husky and saw that this place around sunset. They accommodated us in an outdoor area that had a beautiful view of the sunset despite being an increasingly busy Friday night and were so welcoming of our young family. The food and drinks were insane as was the friendly service. Thanks Erica and the host team! Will be our new go to in SB!
Great Mexican dining experience across the street from the boardwalk in Santa Barbara. Awesome margaritas (plus a few different options to choose from), fresh ceviche and the mole was amazing. Lost a star from me because the waiter made me uncomfortable standing over my shoulder to see what I tipped as I was using the card reader.
Beautifully presented upscale Mexican restaurant located right alongside the Cabrillo bike path and Santa Bárbara beach. The prices here are reasonable especially considering the service and quality of food.
This restaurant has many of your standard Mexican restaurant dishes but they offer versions with high quality ingredients. They even have a $150 margarita! They also offer standard steaks and tacos for those who don’t want to try something new. There’s also lobster empanadas and other unique items.
Service here was great and we didn’t need to wait more than 20 minutes. Do prepare to wait a bit but if you go around the back there is a beer garden you can enjoy a drink while you wait for the text. You can also walk across the street to the beach and enjoy the views while you wait. It’s really not a problem.
One of the best Mexican restaurants I have been to!
Food was not bad, at ordered 4 items for 3 people and were completely stuffed. Two of the items were delicious, especially the soft shell crab taco, that's an 11/10. The octopus was tender and the rice it came with paired nicely.
However, we also ordered the lobster empanadas, that left little to desire. The outside was deep fried and greasy and the dish didn't highlight the lobster, it was not very good.
The fish tacos were probably the thing we wanted the most however, it was quite disappointing as the fish was dry and unseasoned. We had trouble even finishing one of the tacos.
Very busy restaurant even as we arrived at 8:30. The wait wasn't too long, maybe 15 min before we got a table. We sat inside, would highly recommend sitting outside, the ambiance is much better.
The food here is absolutely top-notch. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Two stars off for failing to provide silverware before the food arrived, and making us wait for 15 minutes for the silverware. One star off for kind of cramped tables. But this restaurant make no mistake is absolutely delicious.
Landed there just by google recommendation, and it was such a good one!
We had the octopus and steak tacos, and we were so surprised. Very good quality, best mexican experience we had in California. They also serve you a good quantity of corn totopos for free.
