“This place is unbelievably delicious!! Had the bacon breakfast burrito. The bacon, potatoes and beans were soooo delicious. And the portion was insanely huge. Highly highly recommend. Probably one of the best bacon breakfast burritos I've had“

“El Sitio - this coastal Mexican food spot was such a great find. I ordered the zucchini tacos and they were absolutely delicious!! fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. You can really taste the care that goes into the ingredients.
Beyond the food, I really appreciated the atmosphere. As someone who isn’t of Mexican descent, the posters on the walls were surprisingly educational and added so much depth to the experience. It felt welcoming, informative, and culturally rich without being overwhelming.
Great food, great vibes, and a meaningful dining experience by the coast. I’d definitely come back.“

“They catered my granddaughters graduation dinner and they were excellent. Food was perfectly seasoned and cooked, portions were generous and they fed a group of over 60 guests just fine, my favorites were their Tri tip and salsas. We will use them again!“

“I want to give a special compliment to the staff here.

Every time I come to this restaurant, everyone is friendly, professional, and welcoming. Today, I was waiting for a pickup order, and since the food wasn’t ready yet, I went back to sit in my car.

To my surprise, when the order was finished, one of the staff members actually brought it out to my car. That level of service is very rare these days.

At many restaurants, even when the order is ready, nobody bothers to let you know. But here, they genuinely care about their customers and go the extra mile.

It’s small gestures like this that make a big difference and keep people coming back. Great food is important, but outstanding customer service is what makes a restaurant truly special.

Thank you to the staff for your kindness and excellent service. Highly recommended“

“Delicious Food! Excellent service, very friendly and delicious hand made tortillas“

“The best Taco Bell in town, and the original if I'm not mistaken.. (that still stands) I can't explain it, but the food is just better here... Milpas location is runner up... Because they have the best customer service there, and close to home. 👌🏼👏🏼💯
P. S. Were you aware that the Taco Bell on the Mesa in Santa Barbara actually charges more!? Likely an additional tax added for an, (almost) ocean view?? Is this common? 🤔🤔“
