"Local spot for Mexican food and drinks. Music is a bit loud on a Friday evening but as long as you’re not looking for a romantic spot, you’ll be fine. The food is amazing and it’s quite possibly the best ceviche I’ve ever had. I mean, the presentation alone was art. This is on my must visit list the next time I’m in Santa Barbara."

"A fantastic meal here with fantastic portions. My part had the queso fundido served with warm, soft tortillas, salmon tacos (soft), the halibut ceviche and of course they offer free chips and salsa. The halibut ceviche had a beautiful balance of flavours, sweet, savoury, spicy....I loved the pomegranate, jicama, cucumber ( to balance the spicy), peppers....just a beautiful symphony of flavours in your mouth. The queso was rich and cheesy using the traditional oaxaca cheese. Great offer of cocktails, wide menu and fast, friendly service. Definitely a must-try for delicious Mexican food."

"Great place to grab gourmet food, including vegetarian options. Excellent margaritas and non-alcoholic drinks. Don't park in the hotel parking. There's public parking across the street, and we didn't pat anything. After the meal, take a short walk towards the beach with vendors displaying a ton of artwork and gift ideas."

"The hype and vibe is upbeat- full on fun. Impressive bar service from Angel or Julio will not disappoint. Not only are they entertaining and kind- their drinks are fancy and tasty. Employees are genuinely HAPPY to work here. Fun times all around. Smiles and laughing throughout. Food is spectacular. Perfect presentation with authentic Mexican cuisine taste. Good food, good service, good time! Just go! I would not lead you astray! 5* *Only downside is if you have a big group it may be hard to hear everyone."
