Delgado's Restaurant

Great Mexican food. A Carpinteria landmark. Highly recommend it.

Service was pretty slow. The food was decent but not incredible. The $21 burrito was no better than Chipotle

Great authentic food

Excellent Mexican food. I highly recommend their tacos and chile verde. Service was a little bit slow, but friendly.

Delicious chicken tacos with rice and beans, chips, and salsa !

Our server was amazing! And the food is always good.

Really quaint and cool location and vibe ... Great service... Food was delicious...

Carpinteria’s hidden gem! Excellent food, fast service and a bartender that knows how to make Margaritas!
Try an item that’s not on the menu. As for a Chingadera! Unbelievable!
Reservation recommended because they do get really busy. Parking is hard to find.

I've eaten here dozens of time over the years as a 45-year local, and tonight was the worst service I've ever had. The server took 15 minutes to come to our table. We had no water, only chips and salsa that the bus boy brought us. Every other employee at the restaurant came to our table more times than the server did. We were only graced with her presence twice. The table next to us got up and left after they waited 20 minutes. They didn't have waters either, just chips and salsa. The food runner did a better job and should be promoted to server after you fire the current server. And the owner was there, I've been going there since I was a small kid so I know who he is. He either doesn't see how awful the service that they currently provide is, or he's severely understaffed. I've been working in the service industry for 25 years, and they need Robert Irvine to do a restaurant impossible there. The food was mid at best. One of our plates came out with no cheese on the refried beans, while the other came out with the cheese melted on top. There is no consistency and no accountability from the expo. It should have been fixed before they sent it out.

*Response to owner:*
Yes we were there last night 9/29 at around 7pm.

This place has amazing value (especially during happy hour, which is somehow over 6 hours long) and they do the food right! Had the enchilada off the happy hour menu and it came piping hot on a stone plate, the way that would make mama proud! Plus it was only $10!

The chips and salsa were proper as well, with it being fairly obvious they use home grown peppers. The outdoor dining is excellent and has shade from a beautiful tree. The wait-staff was so kind and even gifted us a free church to taste, since they just started making them in-house.

Overall, we spent 40 for a meal of 2 enchiladas, a margaritas, and some fried ice cream. Absolutely incredible, will be returning 100%
