10 Best Mexican Restaurants in Carpinteria

“I absolutely love this little market/restaurant. I discovered it years ago through my old boss, who recommended it for having the best chilaquiles around. Over time, I've become hooked on their chilaquiles burrito, and it never disappoints! That said, I haven't tried much else on their menu, so I can't speak to the other options.

When you order their chilaquiles, they offer a choice between regular or spicy. Just a heads up—the regular is already pretty spicy! I tried the spicy version once, and wow, it was extremely hot. I managed to finish it, but just barely. The flavor was fantastic, but if you can't handle intense heat, I would advise against it!“

“Very good food had a very good experience“

“Authentic, delicious Mexican food. We had a taco, chili relleno and an order of 3 taquitos. Also, chips and salsa come with a combo. Plentiful portions on all items with lots of fresh guacamole. A bit pricey due to its proximity to the beach but worth it. Service was happy and friendly.“

“We have been enjoying breakfast burritos from Reynaldo’s for about ten years now. We’ve always admired their wedding cake display, and said when we got married we’d get our cake from them. Well we got married on the beach June 4th, and the cake far exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful and delicious! We also got gluten free and vegan cupcakes which were fantastic as well!“

“Everything is delicious!!“

“Amazing breakfast! Makes me wish we didn't live so far. I'd be a regular here! Nice service also. Must try!“

“Great spot for a quick burger near the beach.“

“Food was standard taco bell. We got what we expected. Kids did not like it at all. It was their first visit.
It is missing a star just because it is taco bell and not much has changed in quality or flavor since the mid 90s. Just new inventions like a giant cheezit. Including a giant cheezit in your menu says volumes about the food served and a corporation trying to survive. Imagine the ideas in corporate with trained chefs developing the giant cheezit menu items. It probably was the same as hotdog stuffed pizza crust, and pasta bread bowls. This is the kind of stuff that makes Jamie Oliver cry in his sleep.
Overall the food was what it was. Staff was friendly, bathroom and restaurant clean.
Side note: The last taco bell i visited (thousand oaks) someone had smeared several bean burritos all over the bathroom walls. No tortillas. I tell myself it was bean burritos, I know it wasn't. This was about 11 years ago. I did not order the bean burrito this time, so I can't comment on that.
My courage to return to taco bell was rewarded well.“
